More of an academic course relative to lots on here, the quizzes require actual thought and there is a considerable body of knowledge to get across. The instructors are knowledgeable and engaging. The course is well thought out and structured, and the visuals are excellent (not the classic PowerPoint). The additional materials are actually useful (and sometimes required for passing quizzes).

BARNSTABLE – The Massachusetts Department of Public Health has announced $5.1 million in funding to discourage nicotine use in communities across the commonwealth.
On Cape Cod, Barnstable County is set to receive $122,000 annually over the next four years.
Under the program, sixteen municipal health departments will work in partnership with neighboring cities and towns to reduce the influence of the tobacco and vaping industries on communities.
Barnstable County Public Health officials will work with local health departments in order to distribute funding to tobacco control and prevention programs.
"When you deal with the tobacco industry, it's like playing a game of whack-a-mole at a carnival. For every strategy and success we are able to achieve, they come up with another strategy to keep peddling their product to the public, particularly the youth," said Bob Collett with the Barnstable County Regional Tobacco Control Program.
Mass DPH has been working for two decades to reduce tobacco use across the Bay State and is reporting significant success.
Public Health Commissioner Monica Bharel says that despite their progress there is more work left to be done.
"Despite this progress, these awards come at a time when vaping rates among youth are nine times higher than adults," she said.
Earlier this year, Governor Charlie Baker signed a new law raising the legal age to buy tobacco products statewide from 18 to 21.
The new law broadens existing prohibitions on public smoking to include e-cigarettes and prohibits the use of tobacco products on the grounds of any public or private primary, secondary, or vocational school.
Additionally, pharmacies, hospitals, or other entities that offer health care services or employ any licensed health care providers are prohibited from selling tobacco products.

This is one ugly interior!
Actually I believe is classy and provides a rather luxurious feeling to the travel experience, not the typical minimalystic corporate style you find nowadays in so called business class cabins.
By far the ugliest First Class ever!! Nice photo though...
Looks like the set from the Hawaii 50 TV show.
It is a good product, but it also is the 10 year old SAA/SR (Old Swiss) First Class. Maybe not 100% up to date it does show how good it was back to to still be reasonable now.
Colour combination is pretty psychedelic yeah :)
Colour combination is pretty psychedelic yeah :)
Looks very ugly... although very comfortable !
It doesn't just look terrible, it's IS terrible. This whole cabin has short-circuited and is not fixed, so THIS is how those seats are... ALL the time.

Healthcare is an industry that will always be around, always needed and always important. It's an industry that is based on care, love and concern. In most cases, whether it is a senior citizen or a disabled individual, those caring for them have an abundance of love for what they are doing; that's something that won't change.
And yet the industry is full of changes. In particular, the face of home healthcare seems to be changing constantly. Now more than ever, older adults are electing to age in place.
Part of the reason for this change is that the baby boomer generation, the oldest members of which are turning 70 this year, have seen strides made in almost every sector of commerce, with massive developments in technology and overall higher standards of living.
Most people feel more secure, happy and comfortable in their own homes. They want to be able to sleep in their own bedrooms, use their own bathrooms and watch TV in their own living rooms. And in so many cases, they are willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen.
Paying out-of-pocket for supplies and equipment
For this and other reasons, there has been tremendous growth in the number of people who pay for their medical supplies and equipment out-of-pocket. Sometimes, for instance, insurance doesn't cover a particular item that an older adult wants, or the individual wants more than what the insurance company is willing to cover. For example, even if someone has two rooms and wants one hospital bed in each room, most insurance plans still will cover only the first one.
For some people, paying out-of-pocket is a simple matter of wanting to avoid what they view as the hassle of having to deal with an insurance company; they prefer to just pay for something themselves. In general, people would rather have their supplies and equipment covered by insurance, but for whatever reason, they find themselves needing to pay for it on their own.
More responsibility for us
But this change creates a bigger responsibility for all us in the industry who are dedicated to their care. We must ask ourselves whether we are truly trying to do everything we can, whether the services we provide are up to standard, and whether there is anything else we can do to make their lives a little easier.
This mission will manifest itself differently in different parts of the industry. For those of us in medical supply and equipment businesses, we should try to meet these goals by striving to have the best-quality products at affordable pricing and trying to take extra steps to help older adults. Whether it's incontinence products, wheelchairs, bathroom safety equipment, daily living aids or wound care products, people want to know that they are buying the most appropriate product for them.
Often, older adults need care and services, or medical supplies and equipment, suddenly and do not know where to begin. They need and deserve that extra helping hand to listen to them, guide them and help them determine what they need.
When it comes to medical supplies and equipment, that means helping older adults determine what product would work best, what would be the most comfortable and whether a product exists that would be affordable and make a difficult situation just a bit easier.
We all have a role to play in addressing questions to adequately help aging-in-place older adults and their caregivers.

So I've been back at work for a week and a half now. Summer is well and truly gone *whimpers*.
I remembered that I had written a whole list of what I wanted to achieve over the holidays and I haven't yet returned to it to see if I managed it, hence this post. Here we go.
- Write my summer to-do list. Check.
- Clean my oven. Check. This was a very random one but it was a long time coming.
- Re-decorate Husband's man cave. Check. I am so pleased with how this turned out. Husband LOVES it and I'm very proud of my handy work. Pictures here.
- Re-decorate the bathrooms and the utility room. Check.
- Buy a dressing table. Negative. I decided against this idea and instead made the ensuite a little more organised.
- Lose a few pounds and get in better shape. This DID NOT happen. I'm still working on it.
- See friends. Check.
- Go on holiday. Turkey was fabulous.
- Watch all the Harry Potter films before we lists the Warner Bros. Studios on my birthday in September. Obviously we managed this and I LOVED my visit to the studios. Best place ever (apart from Disney World).
- Turn 26. Check. Thoughts here.
- Read. Check. So nice to chill out with a book. I got through three in a week on holiday!
So I think it was a great summer. Secretly glad to be back at work though. I was going stir crazy on my own!

Hot Days at Baywoods
Early summer heat has definitely slowed things down in the Hampton's gardening world. Pools and beaches and staying indoors in ac is where it's at. Few find digging and pruning and weeding enjoyable in this oppressive heat. At the lovely Baywoods in Water Mill, watering is about all they do in weather like this. I walked around today and took a few photos of the place.

Friday night was BBQ night but when we pulled the BBQ out for a clean we discovered a problem and it had officially cooked its last sausage. Cue trip to B&Q to replace it.
New BBQ duly bought and built, we went to a large branch of Tesco in search of supplies. I was amazed just how many sausages, burgers and other BBQ items on sale in Tesco contained gluten. Eventually we came accross these Jamie Oliver pork chops.
Mr D is very pleased with the new BBQ so have included this for him.
They were very chunky chops which had been seasoned with cumin, fennel and paprika.
How did they taste? Very pleasantly seasoned, the paprika added warmth but not spicy heat. I know it would be pretty easy to replicate this seasoning at home but we were looking for something quick to chuck on the barbie.
Thumbs up all round for these Jamie Oliver pork chops.

"Effects of mindfulness on brain electrical activity"

Mindfulness comprises a series of techniques oriented to the focus of attention in the experience of the present moment. Several studies have suggested that the regular practice of these techniques can represent an intervention tool in clinical conditions, since this can favor behavioral changes, as well as brain structure and activity. In this regard, works of electroencephalography and image not only have reported changes in activity and brain structure during the exercise of mindfulness, but also, long-term changes that persist beyond the exercise of this technique, mainly in areas such as the prefrontal cortex, the insula, the hippocampus, the corpus callosum and the amygdala, as well as in tracts that interconnect these structures. These changes have been associated with a greater ability to regulate attention and emotion, as well as an increase in prosocial behavior and executive functioning.
In particular, some studies that have evaluated EEG activity before and after mindfulness training, have reported changes in the activity of the alpha and theta bands (mainly), characterized by a generalized decrease in absolute power and increase in the correlation between frontal and central areas. These changes have been related to alertness, attention and sensory receptivity, which can favor more complex processes such as emotional regulation and various executive functions.
As well as "scientific mindfulness", there are also other techniques based on meditation, which requires a detailed approach based on techniques that allow knowing, explaining and differentiating the mechanisms at the brain level that underlie the changes reported in behavioral and cognitive aspects.
In our laboratory, we have studied the effects of mindfulness training in the executive functioning and EEG activity of both high school adolescents with low academic performance and behavior problems as well as young people in conflict with the law. In the first study, sixteen males aged 12-14 years were evaluated and integrated two groups: mindfulness and control. We found an increase in both performances in tasks measuring executive functioning and in the right intrafrontal EEG correlation in the alpha1 and alpha2 bands. In the second study, sixty-five young males aged 15-23 years who had committed a violent crime were evaluated. Thirty nine males were assigned to the mindfulness group and twenty six to the control group. After the treatment, the mindfulness group presented a significant increase in performance in tasks related to the follow-up of rules and the risk-benefit processing, as well as an increase in the reaction time and decrease of the impulsive responses in a stop-signal task. In addition, this group showed an increase in the right intra-hemispheric correlation in the delta, theta and gamma bands, among frontal, central and parietal areas.
In conclusion, the practice of mindfulness improves executive functioning especially in those processes that have to do with inhibition and risk taking. This is associated with an increase in right functional connectivity both between the frontal regions and between the fronto-central and fronto-parietal areas.

Classic recipes for Marshmallow cakes (1909)
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1 cup milk
4 egg yolks
3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups flour
3 rounded teaspoons baking powder
Combine all ingredients, sifting the flour with the baking powder.
Bake in three thick, or four thin, layers.
For the filling, put one-half pound of marshmallow candies on an agate dish and place in an open oven until they have melted and run together.
In the meantime, make a boiled icing with one cupful of granulated sugar and one-third cupful of hot water, boiling together until the syrup hairs.
Then pour this syrup over the stiffly-beaten white of one egg; add the melted marshmallows and beat slowly for five minutes. Spread this between the layers and on the top.
For the top layer, put a number of marshmallows on a skewer and hold over the open fire until they puff up and begin to brown, then quickly place them around the edge of the cake.
Pink marshmallow cake recipe
Ingredients: Half cup of butter, one and a half cups sugar, half cup milk, whites of five eggs, half teaspoonful vanilla, two cups of flour sifted with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder.
Directions: Beat butter to a cream and gradually beat into it the sugar and vanilla, add milk and the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs, then the flour and baking powder sifted together. Bake in three layers.
Filling: Boil one and a half cups sugar with three-quarters cup of water till it threads. Just before taking off the fire, put in half a pound of marshmallows (cut in bits to melt easily). Pour this mixture into the beaten whites of two eggs and beat until cold enough to spread.
By using the pink marshmallows, it makes a very pretty cake.

After a 6-month hiatus, the Hierro will come back in 2017 with a bold and fresh update. The Hierro v2 will no longer be just a вҖңBoracay with lugsвҖқ, but will now be an option for the serious trail runner. A fully revamped design offers enhanced features and should increase cushioning, protection, and traction.
One of the biggest changes to the 2nd version will be the use of a tough Vibram Mega-Grip outsole. The new lug placement is now spread farther apart and deeper. The new design should provide far better traction on loose terrain, while remaining runable on hard trails. The Vibram compound is ultra durable and we expect it to offer a stickier feel suitable for a variety of trails.
The Hierro v2 also features a newly designed fresh foam midsole. The finely tuned sidewall hexagon geometry has been dialed in to offer a more compliance. The new geometry is combined with an additional 2mm of overall stack height and should offer a more cushioned, protective experience.
To save on weight and provide a more irritant-free wrap of the foot, the Hierro v2 utilizes a new 3D resin printed upper. Fantom Fit technology offers a no-sew wrap and a toe protect design provides added protection from rocks and debris.
Preliminary Tech Specs
Stack height*: 26mm heel, 22mm forefoot, 4mm heel-toe offset
Weight*: 10.8 oz (menвҖҷs size 9), 8.7 oz (womenвҖҷs size 8)
*Production stack heights and weights may differ from what is listed here.

Star wars. Global positioning satellites. Space-based laser weapons. Once the realm of science fiction, space weapons and warfare are coming closer to reality. Ninety percent of U.S. military communications depend on space assets, marking an increasing reliance on space for national security initiatives, military operations, and e-commerce enabled by satellite technology. What does the future hold for this new arena of military conflict?

This timely resource provides a history of the development of space weapons and warfare strategies and a comprehensive reference guide to the growing literature on the subject.
Space Warfare and Defense: A Historical Encyclopedia and Research Guide provides comprehensive coverage of the development of space as a possible arena for warfare, exploring the military uses of space—past, present, and future—and specific details of actual space weapons systems.The encyclopedia spans the breadth of U.S. military space policy; comparable programs in the Soviet Union, China, and the European Union; and the full array of international agreements designed to regulate the military uses of space. In addition, the encyclopedia includes an extensive reference guide (nearly 40 percent of the book) directing readers to the essential literature on space weapons and defense systems produced by the United States, other governments, research institutions, and additional sources. At a time when space is becoming an increasingly important place of military competition and potential conflict, Space Warfare and Defense dispels the myths and examines the realities of what may become humanity's ultimate battlefield.
Bert Chapman is government information and political science librarian and associate professor of library science at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN. His published works include Researching National Security and Intelligence Policy.
"It is recommended for academic and large public libraries as well as interested special collections."—ARBA
"Highly recommended."—Choice
"Those who read this encyclopedia will be left in no doubt that its subject matter, though technical in nature, has an importance which goes far beyond its more obviously military aspects, for as the author rightly points out, banks and stock markets, and thus the world economy itself, could be crippled by interference with satellites. It would therefore be a useful addition, not only to libraries with military or technical interests, but also to those concerned with international affairs in general."—Reference Reviews
"Asst. Prof. Bert Chapman, a government information librarian at Purdue University, deserves commendation for authoring this impressive work, which fills a gap in space-warfare scholarship. This significant and comprehensive treatise provides layman and expert alike a voluminous amount of data, both historical and contemporary, on space weapons and their development. ... The book will serve as a valuable primary resource for researchers, space enthusiasts, policy makers, employees of space agencies, officers either currently on staff with space commands or NASA or awaiting assignment, and individuals seeking information about the relationship of space to national security."—Air & Space Power Journal

WCQR exists to serve our listeners in ways that will inspire them to live passionately for Jesus Christ through every song and every spoken word.
WCQR and our listeners are consistently active in our community, raising awareness as well as raising support. In January 2017, WCQR launched The Pajama Project and our listeners overwhelmingly responded to this outreach, with over 3,000 pairs of new pajamas collected and distributed to eight ministries who serve children in East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. In 2019, our listeners surpassed that total and over 4,500 pairs of pajamas were collected for kids in need.
WCQR listeners also wrote letters of encouragement or gratitude to our military. These letters were then shipped to A Million Thanks, a non-profit entity that sends letters to soldiers all over the world. Over 2,000 letters were collected for our men and women in the military.
In 2018, WCQR partnered with Second Harvest Food Bank for the 9thconsecutive year and raised over $157,000 on air, which provided 6,307 families (more than 25,000 individuals) in our region a full Thanksgiving meal.
WCQR gives back through Community Focus– an ongoing weekly segment that highlights a local ministry in our area. Each 501c3 ministry receives an on-air campaign that runs during the week as well as a 15-minute interview and space on our website. WCQR believes in focusing on the many local ministries in our area and the unity we have in serving Jesus Christ.
In addition, WCQR wants every child and member of the Tri-Cities region covered in prayer. The daily School Prayer Zone highlights a local school to remind listeners to pray for students and staff that day – this happens each weekday morning during the school year. Our Prayer Wall is an interactive feature on our website where listeners can submit their prayer requests as well as pray for others.

Industrial Filter For Emulsion Paint From Russell Finex
Industrial filter provides robust and reliable inline filtration system for Flexcrete's new hygienic liquid paints
Since 1983, Flexcrete has been setting industry standards for high-quality coatings and technical mortar solutions for a worldwide customer base. The company offers a wide range of coatings solutions for small cosmetic repairs to major construction and infrastructure projects.
Due to global expansion, customer demand increased for its liquid emulsion products, which prompted Flexcrete to invest in a filtration solution that would not only help to increase production rates but also to enhance product quality.
At Flexcrete's factory in Leyland, new developments in hygienic liquid emulsions required a more stringent filtration process to ensure the highest product quality. Flexcrete approached Russell Finex for a solution to filtering liquid emulsion paint.
After an initial consultation, Flexcrete was confident that the Self-Cleaning Russell Eco Filter® could meet its specific filtration requirements and a trial was arranged. John Morphet, Senior Materials Engineer commented, "The trial was arranged at our manufacturing facilities very quickly which enabled us to test it with our whole process line for proof of concept".
The process begins with pigments and thickening solutions being added to raw materials, which is then thoroughly mixed. The liquid emulsion is then pumped through the self-cleaning filter to remove all foreign impurities, such as dried pieces of coagulated or unmixed paint. After the paint has been filtered the emulsion is decanted into containers. "Due to our short lead times, it was important the filtration process did not slow down manufacture of the paint. The Russell Eco Filter will achieve this and even allow us to increase production rates as we expand," commented Morphet.
With the filter meeting the throughput rates of the process, Flexcrete installed a Self-Cleaning Russell Eco Filter®. "We chose the EF603 model from Russell Finex due to its straight through design allowing the unit to be easily installed without disrupting any existing pipe work. It is also extremely easy for operators to strip down and clean the filter between color batches, minimizing production downtime," explains Morphet.
Compared to other industrial paint filters which use consumable filter bags or cartridges, the Self-Cleaning Russell Eco Filter® utilizes a unique self-cleaning system along with a stainless steel mesh screen, offering significantly enhanced throughput rates whilst reducing blockages and waste.
"The Russell in-line filter fulfils the need of our liquid emulsions business, and offers a very high throughput rate which helps us maintain our short lead time and quick delivery of our product" concluded Morphet.
For over 80 years Russell Finex has been manufacturing and suppling sieves, filters and separators to improve product quality, enhance productivity, safeguard worker health, and ensure liquids and powders are contamination-free. Throughout the world, Russell Finex serve a variety of industries with applications including paints and coatings, food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, adhesives, metal powders and ceramics.

If you want to close a deal within max 4 to 5 weeks from the time you have put your house for sale then you are considered to be very lucky! It is rare that you are being able to sell your house immediately after you have put it on the real estate market. More often houses that stay on the market for long without getting any suitable offers and then t he proprietor is then compelled to lower its value in order to recover from the entire process.
To get hold of the best deal and to be able to sell your house quick, the basic thing you need to know here is to hire a real estate agent. Imparting this job to the expert is certainly the best option when it comes to selling your house. A professional realtor will have all the basic knowledge on how they can promote your house in the real estate market. He would even recommend you some vital tips to selling your house fast:
Set The Right Price
The most crucial aspect in selling your house quick is to set the right price. Frequent mistake these agents make is pricing the property too high. They think that by making the price high, they perhaps be lucky enough to keep the price manageable after they have received the offers and counteroffers. It is strongly recommended to start with an average price than starting with the preferred net gain. The latest selling price along with the fair market value will help you decide the best selling price of your house.
Prepare Your House
Make your home appear more interesting before you start to show it to your prospects. Stats indicate that home staging greatly helps sell quickly. Make your house look at its very best in the first place by doing all the needed repairs and arranging everything rightly in the house. In short, make your house more desirable.
Be Ready To Show The House Anytime
It is vital that your house should look as close to the perfect move-in condition most of the time. Clean up all the scrap and do intensive house cleaning. Junk and clutter will decrease the potential equity of the house and may disturb your buyer's interest.
Offer Incentives
To be able to make your selling price a lot more desirable, you can always add incentives to your offer. These are amazing alternatives to cutting down your asking price. You may come across buyers who are looking for a bit of an additional boost to make their buying decision. An offer to handle the closing cost can help the buyer afford a deposit.
Stay A Step Behind
When you have shown your house, it is recommended that you keep as low profile as possible. When you have already hired the services of an estate agent, let them accomplish the sale. Make sure you are being able to answer all the queries and conduct a quick tour and give your buyers some time to be alone and make their decision.
House cash buyers can greatly help you in selling your house quickly for fast cash. If you are thinking 'I need to sell my house fast' you can always opt for their services. Their practical experience will assist you regarding the most effective selling tips that perform the best in your area. They are very well aware of all the ins and outs of the real estate market. Moreover, they can get you quick cash and can close the deal in less than 48 hours.

Have you been sitting around wondering if Facebook is still growing? Well, according to the BBC, Facebook is still growing like a monster:
The mind boggles. In 2018 Facebook saw the Cambridge Analytica scandal, political manipulation, fake news, data breaches and accusations of deeply unethical behaviour.Wow, isn't that just something? And it's proof positive that the world is obsessed with the beast of time wasting! The BBC did give a nugget of information about it all though: "User growth was particularly strong in India, Indonesia and the Philippines, but flat in the US and Canada.." Well, what does that mean? Well, it means that people in the good ol' USA and Canada are not being added to Facebook as fast as those good folks in Asia. It may be due to the fact that more and more people over time are getting better phones and computers as Asian economies grow. And with new phones and computers comes Facebook and other apps such as Instaskin! Wowzers!
Despite this, profits are up by almost 40%. Facebook isn't just surviving, it's thriving.
In the face of severe turbulence, Mark Zuckerberg's company has proven to be resilient. Source: BBC: Facebook Users Continue to Grow Despite Scandals
Remember how a few days ago I had mentioned that I would sometimes see someone I know not post for a while on Facebook and feel incredibly proud of them to later find out that they were posting on another Facebook profile? That was the case with someone in my own family, who sometimes swaps out identities because it's more fun to be two people instead of one. Please, tell me what this does for your real life identity? Oh, that's right: NOTHING.
Time is churning like a lion pacing in its den and Facebook is growing faster than one of those little sponge animals that you add water to in order to see grow. What madness, huh? Whenever I feel compelled to log back onto Facebook or reactivate my Instaskin account, I remind myself that there is literally NO REASON AT ALL for me to go back. What would I go back for? To spend more time eyeballing the screen of my phone? Would it be to put aside my real life time with family and instead look at political banter and endless humble and not so humble-brags? Would it be to show the world just how "exciting" my own life is? Is it to feel better about myself or to try to raise the white flag of defeat on a shattered self-esteem? Is it to fit in with a crowd of those who can't seem to log off into the real world as much as they log into Facebook? Tell me, please: What would be the point?
Would it be to appease those in my life who may or may not think that I should be on Facebook like everyone else is? Oh, no no no. None of those ideas should make me go back. To be peer pressured back into signing up to a website that literally sucks your life away from you is like signing your own death warrant. It's not worth it.

Being original is key to your success. Use other's ideas only as a guide, do not copy them. Yet, with the differences in each company, some things remain true to form that earn good profits and that information is listed below.
Once you have established yourself, you should ask the program you're affiliated with for more money. Affiliates want to keep successful partners, because they bring in extra revenue. They may be willing to offer you a better percentage.
You should raise the effectiveness of your affiliate marketing plan by keeping the profitable affiliates, and replacing the less productive ones. Examine each of your affiliates on a regular basis to see how they are performing. Removing low-performing affiliates will allow you to create room for advertisers who will earn you more money.
Stay away from the hottest products on the market. They're bound to be filled with other marketers trying to get their own business going. Try to find out what the next hot item will be before it gets big. Quality is always good, but not all quality products are also extremely popular. If you choose a very popular product, then you will find yourself in the midst of fierce competition. Generating profit can be difficult.
Keep a copy of your most effective emails so you can easily send them out again if you need to attract new customers. To get and keep new customers, only send them your best emails that are sure to grab their attention from the very first contact.
Every affiliate website is a little different. Some of these websites may be poorly designed, making it hard for the prospective customer to use them. It's definitely not the best case scenario, but savvy affiliate marketers will not let that keep them from making the most money possible. You will create a business building trust with helpful information.
Affiliate marketers should always tell their readers exactly how their business works. Be upfront about your affiliate ties and describe them on your site. If people do not trust your site, they will simply leave it and buy directly from the seller.
Always be honest with your visitors about who you are affiliated with. Being open about your affiliates makes your references to them seem more like friendly referrals and less like pushing.
Trivia questions are a great way to attract traffic to your site. A lot of viewers who would not otherwise click on an ad will be enticed by the question. Make the pot better by giving out discounts to customers who answer the right way.
Make sure you focus on the right kind of customers for the products you are going to market. Cheaper products are easy to make money based on higher volumes. If you are selling a very expensive product, your selling methods must be very focused and very intense since you will not be counting on volume to make a profit.
The newest affiliate promotion programs are leaning away from the concept of commissions that have no time limits. However, the reward potential is still very good and not something you want to pass up. When webmasters refers customers to the affiliate vendor, they get a commission on anything their referred customers buy. Usually, the commission is given only if a buyer buys withing a time period after they click on the link. That's why a lifetime commission program is so desirable.
This type of methods is usually very successful and customers respond to it. All that remains is for you to discover ways to apply them to your situation.

Mesut Ozil divides opinion among Arsenal fans. While many consider him to be a world-class attacking midfielder, there are others who think that he is lazy and goes missing in big matches. And the game against Manchester City this past weekend was a big match. It was a chance for the Gunners to put a marker down against the best team in England - and perhaps even in Europe based on sheer quality throughout the squad - and show that they mean business, but Unai Emery's side went down 2-0 with a whimper at the Emirates Stadium in North London in their opening league fixture of the 2018-19 campaign...
Ozil was not the only Arsenal player in the team who had a hugely disappointing game, but as usual with such as a high-profile, the German attacking midfielder has been strongly criticised by fans and pundits alike. The 29-year-old former Real Madrid star was anonymous for large parts of the match against Pep Guardiola's side and did not help out in defence by tracking back at all.
No one expects the Gunners to challenge the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool for the Premier League title this season, and there is no surprise that odds on Arsenal to win league 2019 are as much as 25/1. However, the Emirates Stadium faithful will want the team to get back into the Champions League places, and Ozil will be a key figure in that quest. Based on his performance against City, it is clear that the World Cup winner has to step up big time.
With Jack Wilshere having left Arsenal in the summer transfer window, Ozil is now clearly the most creative player at the club. True, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Aaron Ramsey are quality attacking players, Ozil is the star man. For Arsenal to compete with Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur for the fourth and final Champions League place, Ozil needs to step up his game and be more consistent. While it would be foolhardy to expect the former Schalke star to change his game at 29 years of age and track back, but the German has to be more consistent and has to create chances in the big matches.
No one should question the natural ability Ozil has got - that is undeniable - but what must be said that the attacking midfielder needs to work hard during matches in which he cannot weave his magic. It is not humanly possible to play 10 out of 10 in each and every game throughout the season, but the sheer desire and determination to win back the ball and close space is something that all footballers can showcase. Ozil's game is based on creativity and killer passes, but once in a while, the Arsenal fans would love to see him make a tackle and win a ball back. There are still a lot of fans of Ozil, but the German has work to do if he wants to win over Arsenal supporters who are not happy with him.

How Relevant Is Data Visualisation?
Smart digital assistants like Siri and Amazon Alexa have helped showcase the power of data in our personal lives. Consumers are now aware that their lives can be made much better if they allow technology to harness all the data they generate from cyberspace activities. Businesses have been talking about harnessing data for even longer, but the average business person faces multiple challenges to use data.
Why Businesses Struggle With Data
First, there is no simple package like Amazon Alexa that will plug into your business life and begin to automate every data process for you. Thus, applying data to business is much more complex and requires an understanding of your business in its context. An app that is right for one retail business might not make a difference at all for another.
Secondly, the multi-layered nature of business decision making, as good as it is for governance, can actually impede adoption of new tech practices.
Applied Data Visualization For Businesses
Fortunately, data visualization is one easy step where most businesses can begin to find value from all the data their businesses generate every day. Particularly as the future of retail goes increasingly digital, data will become ever more critical for making the right business decisions.
From customer service metrics and financial data to sales data, businesses will need to become adept at making decisions from accurate data visualizations.
How Data Visualization Can Help Business Decisions
Before delving into applications, let us first define data visualization, with a particular look to business contexts.
According to SAS, "Data visualization is the presentation of data in a pictorial or graphical format. It enables decision makers to see analytics presented visually, so they can grasp difficult concepts or identify new patterns."
Data visualization has broader applicability than some business people might assume. It applies not to finance and sales only, but to any activity that can be measured and improved on the basis of hard metrics.
Below are some areas in which you can apply data visualization:
- Finance - Financial data visualizations can show how the business spends its money, and how much return each dollar earns
- Quality Control - If you manufacture your own product, data visualizations can show the frequency and types of product defects
- Sales and marketing - You can use data visualizations to illustrate all the different conversion points in your sales process and how effective they are
- Customer Service - Use data visualizations to measure the quality of your customer service
- Team Management - Data visualizations can track team growth, training, and productivity
- Order Fulfillment - Use data visualizations to study how long it takes for customers to get their products after they click "Buy" and submit orders in your store
A Data Visualization Case Study
To see how the process of data visualization looks like in practice, we will go over a notable data visualization project from the US government.
Image Credit: Interactive Government Budget/US Office of Management and Budget (2016)
This data visualization shows the 2016 US national budget, and is remarkable for how informative and yet thoroughly easy to understand it is. Just by looking at it, even a layman can draw some actionable insights from it.
For example, it is easy to see the general trends of US government spending, and which items draw the most money. We can see, for instance, that Social Security and National Defense are the biggest items on the US budget, followed by Medicare.
The benefits of this visualization include the transparency it fosters for stakeholders, and its aiding of efforts to educate the public on budgetary allocations.
Any business will need to make similar considerations for armings its decision makers with the data and insights they need to make informed decisions.
Applying data visualization to your own business need not be a daunting proposition. With a few simple steps, you can create highly useful data visualizations. On the basis of these visuals, your business can make decisions faster and more accurately.
Step 1: Work With Data Scientists To Identify Important Business Data
The first step in using data visualization in your business is easy to overlook. It involves working with experts at data, preferably data scientists in your organization or brought in as consultants.
Anyone can claim to be an expert at working with data, but the reality is that few individuals are trained in the specific statistical and other validation science required to make data truly bulletproof.
Data scientists are experts at the application of the scientific process to business data. This designation usually requires a Master of Science degree or even a PhD, though some candidates with experience can also be considered.
Your data scientists will help you identify the critical data that your business needs and that can be depicted visually to aid in business decision making.
Step 2: Collect Data Using Data Collection Technology
You cannot visualize the data if you do not first collect it. Therefore, after you and your data scientists have identified the business data that will be useful to visualize, you must collect the data.
For this step, you will typically need tools that plug into your business, automating the collection of data, and providing ongoing data collection.
Some data collection tools to explore include:
Step 3: Aggregate Data Into Visual Dashboards
With data in hand, and an automated data collection system feeding you a constant stream of data, you can now actually aggregate this data in visual form. Be creative with this step, since different data types lend themselves to different types of visuals.
You can create basic dashboards consisting of pie charts, bar charts, priority rankings, and other simple data visualizations to begin with.
Later, you can explore more complex data visualization formats such as heat maps and hyperbolic trees.
Step 4: Interpret the Data Using Domain Knowledge and Act On It
Businesses need clear guidelines on how to interpret and act on data as made available through mechanisms such as data visualizations.
Think of your business decision makers and workers as pilots flying a plane with the aid of dashboards showing them all kinds of relevant external data. They can look at the data, but if they do not act on that data and act on it accurately, disaster will ensue.
This is why you need sound and adequate guidelines for how data is to be acted upon. If necessary, provide training to every team member who is to be entrusted with the interpretation and use of key data.
Making Business Decisions Based On Data
We have seen that data visualization is a technique by which otherwise static data can be made visual and actionable. Data visualization can be applied to almost any area of business, as long as there is data available and decisions can be effectively made on the basis of the observed data. This means that departments like finance, HR, marketing, and product quality, for instance, can all make use of data visualization techniques in their operations.
To design valid data visualization flows, you might need the help of a data scientist. Applying the data and drawing conclusions from it will need personnel with the requisite domain knowledge.
Finally, ensure that when decisions are made, they are based objectively on the available data and correct interpretations of it.

Thread: 4.0l XJ starting problem
4.0l XJ starting problem
Something has changed. I have two 4lit XJs and until recently they both started with the first flick of the key, winter or summer.
Now one of them, the 1994 one, needs a lot more cranking than it used to, but it always starts. I have checked the usual things like plugs and distributor cap which seem OK. The check enging light is not on.
Can anyone suggest what might be the cause and what else to look at.
At the moment it is very hot with temps up to 35C (95F) but this has not been a problem before.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Re: 4.0l XJ starting problem
Check timing. Check plugs and wires.
4.0l XJ starting problem
Try this. Turn the key to the ON position but do not start. Wait 5 sec then turn the key off. Immediately turn the Key back on for 5 seconds then try to start. If the engine starts first time easily the cause is the check valve. The check valve is to keep the fuel from draining back into the tank. This is a common failure and could be lived with for some time without causing damage or fault. This valve is in the fuel pump and the pump would need to be changed to correct.

Re: 4.0l XJ starting problem
I have done the check and there definitely seems to be a loss of pressure as it fires up quickly when doing the key thing. I will be borrowing a pressure gauge from a friend this week.
What I need to know is how to pinpoint the leak as there seem to be two possible places. One is the pump check valve and the other a leaking injector.
I can pinch off the return pipe after the regulator to check the pump non return valve but how do you find out if an injector is dripping?
If the pump check valve is leaking I propose to put an in-line check valve near the fuel filter rather than rip the tank unit out. Past experience with these things (on my 1986 Range Rover) resulted in having to replace the tank!! The cause being that in the UK we use a lot of salt on the roads in winter and everything was rusted solid.
Best regards
4.0l XJ starting problem
The fact the key trick works is a good sign it is only the check valve.
If you have an injector that keeps flowing with engine off the engine will not start until all the gas is pushed out of that cylinder. A quick check is to start by fully depressing the skinny pedal to the floor when starting. This cuts off the fuel pump and no gas is delivered. You might crank a bit but experience a stumbling start, if it is a injector.
As mentioned you could do the key trick until you need to replace the pump.
And I suppose you could add a check valve.

You could swap. I understand there are no performance gains from the injector alone only a smoother idle.

Re: 4.0l XJ starting problem
Thanks for the latest info.
I have done a pressure check today and your diagnosis is spot on Thanks.
On turning the key to run I got 30 psi and on the second go got 37 psi.
When I turned the key off it lost ALL pressure in about 3 or 4 seconds.
Running at low idle it settled at 38 psi and 44 psi with the vacuum removed from the regulator.
With a quick blip of the throttle it hit 40 then dropped to 36.
I have been to get an in-line check valve to put in near the fuel filter but, this being Spain, they did not have much idea what I was talking about. I have resorted to Ebay, so there will be a delay until I can do anything else.
I don't think it will be necessary to change any injectors. The info is good should it be needed.
Best regards

Re: 4.0l XJ starting problem
Hello again,
It's been a long time since I started this and I have finally managed to put a check valve in the pipe just after the tank. I was hoping that would cure the dramatic loss in fuel pressure when I switch off. Unfortunately nothing has changed, so it wasn't the pump check valve after all.
My next suspect is the fuel pressure regulator. I have done the checks with and without the vacuum pipe and it's OK, but I cannot think of a way to check whether it's passing fuel back to the tank when I swiitch off. Can anyone recommend how to do this or would it be better just to change it?
I can find a lot of replacements on Ebay varying in price from 17€ to 60€. They seem to be a pretty common part. Would a 3bar one be OK for the 4litre? What is the diffference between a 17€ one and a 60€ one if they both have a 2 year guarantee.?
Sometimes the engine starts first flick like it used to and others it needs a bit more cranking but I have got used to it now.
I hope someone can help.
4.0l XJ starting problem
What is your current symptoms?
Slow starting?
Does the key trick work after sitting all night?
Do you need to do this after short stop?
Rough running?
Engine sounds like it is about to die at mid or high rpm or load?
Running rich? Wet sooty plugs
Running lean? Ashed melted plugs

Re: 4.0l XJ starting problem
When I do the key thing it starts quickly, every time after a short crank, even on a cold morning. Sometimes when I don't do the key trick it starts instantly, like it used to.
It runs like a clock.
Plugs are as they should be. Fuel consumption has not changed.
Please bear in mind I only start on petrol (gasoline) then run on LPG (propane), so I am not doing a high mileage on petrol.
When on LPG the pump still runs, so the fuel passes straight back to the tank. It's just that the injectors are switched off.
4.0l XJ starting problem
Ok so you added a check valve and you still need to do the key thing. And that is the issue. Correct?
To be honest, you may be the first person i read that is trying to add an external check valve. Most either eagerly replace the pump or wait until it dies to replace it.
Ill have to look at a diagram to comment on external valving and what could go wrong.
On TJ the check valve is in the pump.

Re: 4.0l XJ starting problem
Thanks for the help. Look forward to your suggestions.
I did think about changing the pump but two things came to mind. First a new check valve to replace the 'dodgy' one in the tank is a very cheap fix (less than $2) and second, having looked at the tank I thought that by the time I got the old one out I would need a new tank as well!!
A Happy New Year to all Jeepers out there.
Re: 4.0l XJ starting problem
What side did you put the check valve on the feed to the rail or return? It should be on the feed just post the pump.

Re: 4.0l XJ starting problem
Thanks for the link. It is a very good video and perfectly address my problem. The check valve he fitted is identical to the one I fitted.
I don't fancy pulling the injectors until I have done his air pump checks at the tank. That will identify if I have got the check valve in the right line and whether the pressure loss is towards the engine.
If I remove the return connection from the regulator it will verify that at the same time because if it leaks it will push the fuel out and eventually air will follow.
Even though this is Spain, it is very cold with frosts overnight at the moment, so I'll have a go at the new checks if we get a warmer day. It only gets up to about 12 deg C (53F) in the afternoon. Not much fun for crawing under the car.
4.0l XJ starting problem
I wish you luck though I believe it is the check valve. But go through the list so you know other parts are not at fault.
Winter here in Dayton Ohio has been surprisingly warm in the 30-50 deg F. Yesterday I was troubleshooting an issue in the driveway with no jacket and lying on the concrete. Today is 27F up to 31F (-3C to -1C)
