#H2o Digital Library Project

[h2ojustaddmako]

As promised, book 1, 'No Ordinary Girl', of the H2O Digital Library Project is live on AO3!

I hope you enjoy the read, especially for all of you who never got to own the H2O book series.

Common FAQ:

• H2O had books? Yes, there are a total of 12 English books, and additional 3 books in German.

• Are these new stories? Nope. The books follow the series by episode, and give an interesting and more in-depth look into the scenes, with some extended to include new dialogue or lore.

• What should I expect as a read? These are fairly standard junior novelizations and are written for a younger audience. Therefore, most of them are fairly short (15 chapters in the first one) and have a rather simplistic way of writing. I made sure not to edit out or rewrite anything , keeping it similar to the source material. Still, they discuss characters from their own points of view and are still fairly interesting.

• Typos, mistakes, etc: Please note that I used a page scanner and some of the text got jumbled, as well as some punctuation marks and such. I fixed what I've noticed, but it might have some errors, still.

Enjoy the read! I'll try to pop these out as fast as I can, but each book takes between 2.5-3 hours to transcribe, and I ain't doing that in one go haha. I might do the German books if I get bored and decide to translate them (I don't speak German lmao). Also, share to reach other H2O lovers!!

And, a fun little poll for every book:

Free Ebooks on Your Amazon Kindle

he Amazon Kindle is an incredible digital book peruser, however it's firmly attached to Amazon's biological system. On the off chance that you have a Fire tablet or a cell phone, you can download other e-perusing applications to amplify your library, however with the E Ink Kindles (counting the Paperwhite and Oasis) you're essentially attached to getting your substance straightforwardly from Amazon.

Indeed, kind of. Utilizing a touch of free programming, you can take digital books in the EPUB, Mobi, and PDF configurations and zap them over to your Kindle lickety-split. Here's the way to do it.

Discover Your Kindle Email

The least demanding approach to put books on your Kindle is to do it through email. To get your Kindle's email address, go to amazon.com/myk utilizing your PC's internet browser. Up top, click the Devices tab. In the rundown underneath, locate the important Kindle gadget and snap the three dabs on the left. In the spring up window, you'll see a @kindle.com email address. (It's set to a default address, yet you can transform it by clicking Edit.)

Back up top, click the Preferences tab and look down to Personal Document Settings. Snap the down bolt on the privilege and look to Approved Personal Document E-mail List. The email appended to your Amazon record ought to be recorded here. In the event that that is the email address you'll be utilizing to send digital books to your Kindle, you're good to go. To utilize an alternate email, click Add another endorsed email address and enter the location you need to utilize.

Keep in mind, your Kindle should be joined to a Wi-Fi or 3G organization for everything to fall into place. It doesn't need to be your home organization, obviously; you can go to a café or a public library, for example.

Pick Your E-Book Format

Presently you realize how to email a digital book to your Kindle, the subsequent stage is to sort out your digital book's organization, which will decide how best to send it.

Mobi Format

Uplifting news: If your books are in the Mobi design, they're as of now intelligible by the Kindle. Connect the document to an email, send it to your Kindle's email address (with any subject, and nothing in the body of the email), and it ought to show up on your Kindle in no time. You can likewise move the document onto your Kindle in the event that you connect the gadget to your PC with a USB link.

PDF Format

Amazon can consequently change over PDFs into the Kindle design, however you get two organizing decisions. In the event that you need your Kindle to show each page in the PDF as though it were a realistic, simply email the .pdf document to your Kindle's location without a title.

That will keep up the arranging and illustrations, however the text dimension might be too little to even think about reading. In case you're OK with this sort of designing, you can likewise move the document onto your Kindle in the event that you append the gadget to your PC with a USB link.

Your other alternative is to join the PDF document to an email, and make the title "Convert"— simply that word. Send it to your Kindle email address and your PDF will be changed over into a Mobi record, where you can handle the text dimension and organizing. The illustrations will even now be in there too, yet you'll lose the format of the first PDF.

EPUB Format

EPUB is a typical digital book design around the web, yet the Kindle can't peruse it locally. That is alright; you can change over .epub records to Mobi documents for the Kindle to peruse.

The key is a free bit of programming called Caliber. Accessible for Windows and Macs, it can reformat practically any sort of digital book for most digital book perusers, albeit breaking the duplicate security on books bought from Amazon or certain different stores is taboo. At the point when you set up the product, it approaches you for your model of digital book peruser, and a spring up recommends sending the books by email. Fill in the email address for your Kindle and the approved email address with which you've set to send reports to your Kindle.

Type library

When you set up Caliber, click on Add Books and select any free digital book documents you've downloaded. They'll show up in the Caliber library. Presently click on a passage in your Caliber library and pick Convert Books from the top bar.

In the upper right-hand corner, make a point to set the Output Format to Mobi. Snap OK, and stand by until the Jobs number at the lower-right of the fundamental screen goes from 1 down to 0. Presently select the title again and click Save to Disk.

Pick the organizer you need to save it in. It'll make a subfolder with the name of the creator. In Explorer or Finder, drill into that organizer until you discover the Mobi document inside, which you can email to your Kindle or intuitive onto it utilizing a USB link.

Additionally, recall, text records, blog entries, Word archives, and more can be messaged to your Kindle, as well. Simply send them to your Kindle's email address and appreciate.

So Where Do I Get Free Ebooks?

There are bunches of spots to get free digital books. Type really has a decent metasearch capacity, and you can click Get Books to look by title or writer. It's not the most amicable for perusing, however, so it's ideal on the off chance that you know precisely the thing you're searching for.

In the event that you have a place with a US public library, have a go at downloading OverDrive. Accessible for Windows and macOS, it guides into public library lists and allows you to download Kindle books through Amazon. You can locate your nearby library and OverDrive has ship off Kindle directions for each sort of gadget. Libby and Hoopla offer comparable administrations.

In the event that you need works of art, an incredible spot to begin is Project Gutenberg. Undertaking Gutenberg, which has been around fundamentally as long as the web, has almost 60,000 without copyright digital books. Here's the manner by which to get digital books from that point.

Open Library has considerably more downloadable books. The works of art are accessible to download as PDFs, which you would then be able to email to your Kindle utilizing the PDF strategy above.

For authentic and scholastic writings, look at archive.org.

ManyBooks.net blends works of art and independently published titles, with more than 50,000 in its library.

You'll discover more works of art and independently published works at FeedBooks.

Free-Ebooks.net has an enormous assortment of independently published digital books, yet additionally a decent measure of works of art as well.

On the off chance that you like sci-fi, the distributer Baen additionally has a bunch of free digital books.

BookBub has a free digital book segment loaded up with romance books and other easygoing peruses.

A few book shops use duplicate insurance that doesn't work with Kindles. Tragically, that is the situation for Google Books, Kobo, and Barnes and Noble.

According to a Gartner 2017 prediction, “60 percent of big data projects will fail to go beyond piloting and experimentation, these projects will be abandoned”.

Whether you worked on an analytical project or are starting one, it is a challenge on any cloud. You need to juggle the intricacies of cloud provider services, open source frameworks and the apps in the ecosystem. Apache Hadoop & Spark are very vibrant open source ecosystems which have enabled enterprises to digitally transform their businesses using data. According to Matt Turck VC at FirstMark, it has been an exciting but complex year in the data world. “The data tech ecosystem has continued to fire on all cylinders.  If nothing else, data is probably even more front and center in 2018, in both business and personal conversations”.

However, with great power comes greater responsibility from the ecosystem. There is a lot more than just using open source or a managed platform to a successful project. You have to deal with:

The complexity of combining all the open source frameworks.

Architecting a data lake to get insights for data engineers, data scientists and BI users.

Meeting enterprise regulations such as security, access control, data sovereignty & governance.

Handling business continuity and disaster recovery.

Choosing and vetting apps from the ecosystem and running this entire solution reliably.

As you can imagine, this is a daunting task and often times projects fail at deployment time or customers are unable to get insights from deployed systems due to lack of expertise or the projects don’t meet the requirements of Enterprise IT and are shut down.

So how do you escape this Gartner 2017 statistic?

Power of Azure, Open Source and partners

Big data and the analytical application lifecycle spans a number of steps. Including ingestion, prep, storage, processing, analyzing and visualization. All of these steps need to have enterprise requirements around governance, access control, monitoring, security and more. Stitching an application together which comprises everything is a complicated task. As explained before this is the biggest reason for the failure for big data applications.

With Azure HDInsight Application Platform we have solved this problem by working tightly with a selected set of ISV’s to certify their solutions with Azure HDInsight and other analytical services so customers can deploy them with a single-click. Applications are deployed natively with the cluster, so they can meet the existing enterprise setup around network security and access control polices. You can try these applications to evaluate them before you decide to purchase them which gives you flexibility as a customer to evaluate partners before signing a deeper engagement.

Microsoft has always cared deeply about partners and customers, and this platform natively integrates partner solutions with Microsoft Azure foundational services such monitoring, security, authentication, encryption etc. allowing customers to seamlessly use the entire spectrum of Azure services, open source frameworks and partner solutions to get insights from data faster.

Peter Scott, SVP of Business Development WANdisco describes the value, “Azure HDInsight Application is an excellent choice for partners to get the highest ROI for their analytics investment. The one-click deploy experience has made our product more discoverable, and removes the guesswork and friction around discovering, installing and integrating with existing enterprise environments. Combine this with WANdisco Fusion and a LiveData capability, customers are perfectly positioned to realize data resiliency and guaranteed data accessibility on their hybrid cloud journey”.

Thus, you get the best of all 3 worlds. The strength of the Azure platform, the flexibility and managed OSS platform with Azure HDInsight and the best of our partner ecosystem that makes BI professionals, data stewards and engineers more productive while giving the necessary governance and protection demanded by your IT administrators.

Let’s dive in into each of these challenging areas and how partners are helping solve this.

Pick a task, pick a partner

Make ingesting data easier

Any analytical solution starts with ingesting data from various sources for analytics. Big Data is all about volume, variety and velocity. As streaming and batch data changes, maintaining SLA’s around data quality is a challenge.

StreamSets provides a full-featured integrated development environment (IDE) that lets you design, test, deploy, and manage any-to-any ingest pipelines that mesh stream and batch data, and include a variety of in-stream transformations – all without having to write custom code. Try StreamSets on HDInsight.

The StriimTM platform makes it easy to integrate, analyze, and visualize streaming data across cloud, Big Data, and IoT devices, helping you make smart and timely operational decisions. Try Striim on HDInsight.

Simplify data prep

Extract-transform-load (ETL) processes are fairly time consuming. The challenge with data prep is around combining data from various sources and exploring the quality of the data, merging schema’s, removing bad data etc. Due to lack of expertise in open source frameworks, customers end up spending writing lots of scripts for ETL. Here’s how partners help simplify data prep.

Paxata’s Adaptive Information Platform enables any user to gain insights from their data faster. Business users can combine unstructured and structured data from various sources, prepare data and analyze the data. Try Paxata on HDInsight.

Trifacta is a data wrangling solution for big data allowing you to easily transform and enrich raw, complex data into clean and structured formats for the purpose of exploratory analytics. Try Trifacta on HDInsight.

Use analytics & AI to transform your business

Continuing on the process of a big data application, a data scientist can do machine learning or deep learning. This involves collaborating in a team and using industry’s most popular open source libraries. Due to the complexity of the ecosystem, installing and configuring the toolsets available is challenging for novice users.

Dataiku provides Data Science Studio (DSS), the collaborative data science platform that enables professionals (data scientists, data engineers, etc.) to collaborate on building analytical solutions. DSS has an easy to use team-based interface for data scientists and beginner analysts. Try Dataiku on HDInsight.

H2O’s AI platform is an open source machine learning that works with Spark 2.0+, sparklyr, and PySpark. H2O Sparkling Water allows users to combine the fast, scalable machine learning algorithms of H2O with the capabilities of Spark. Try H2O.ai on HDInsight.

Organizations can take their collaboration, productivity and performance to the next level with a robust range of commercial extensions to our open source platform. Try KNIME on HDInsight.

Serve up new business insights

BI over data lake is hard since traditional tools don’t work with unstructured or streaming data. To complete the BI journey customers must move the data from a data lake to a relational store. For Big Data customers who have petabytes of data, operationalizing this data movement is challenging.

AtScale is a BI on Hadoop software solution.  It allows business users to enjoy multi-dimensional and ad-hoc analysis capabilities on Hadoop data without any movement or client drivers, at OLAP speed and directly from standard BI tools like Microsoft Excel, Power BI and Tableau. Try AtScale on HDInsight.

Kyligence Analytics Platform is an OLAP solution on Hadoop powered by open source Apache Kylin. Try Kyligence on HDInsight.

Stay safe with robust data governance

Data cataloguing/governance is a key ask from enterprises. This allows them to discover data, define access control and monitor patterns for data security. It also allows users to easily discover data sets across an organization. However, building up such a system is challenging because of data silos across an organization.

Waterline Data provides a data catalog solution that enables both a governed data lake as well as provides an automated data catalog as a shared service across multiple data prep, data discovery, and exploratory analytics tools. As a result, Waterline Data gives agility and speed to the business to find the best suited data quickly without manual exploration and coding – staying above the waterline of the data lake, while enabling IT to provide a data layer that is governed and can stay ahead of the need for self-service access to data.

Tune performance for best ROI

The inherent complexity of big data systems, disparate set of tools for monitoring, and lack of expertise in optimizing these open source frameworks create significant challenges for end-users who are responsible for guaranteeing SLAs.

Unravel provides comprehensive application performance management (APM) for. The application helps customers analyze, optimize, and troubleshoot application performance issues and meet SLAs in a seamless, easy to use, and frictionless manner. Some customers report up to 200 percent more jobs at 50 percent lower cost using Unravel’s tuning capability on HDInsight. Getting started guide with Unravel on HDInsight.

Hybrid Big Data and globally replicated Data Lake

Connecting on-premise big data applications to the cloud has always been a challenge. Customers have to think about constantly changing data and metadata (schema of tables in Hive, authorization policies in Ranger, Sentry etc.) for applications. Connecting on-prem to cloud without any down-time is challenging and increases the time to market for customers.

WANdisco provides live replication of selected data/ metadata at scale between multiple Big Data and Cloud environments. With guaranteed data consistency and continuous availability, HDInsight customers can easily setup hybrid environments and a disaster recovery solution. Try WANdisco on HDInsight. How to replicate data for hybrid and disaster recovery solutions.

Customer or partner, there’s no better time to start!
