Golf Solutions Designed at Barnham Broom Golf Club in Norfolk

 Many sports tend to be biassed towards one sex or another. For example, football is a sport dominated by men and does not become much more masculine than rugby! On the other side of the fence, netball definitely falls into the women's category. However, there are some sports that share gender gracefully, which appeal to both men and women. Reddit live streaming Golf is undoubtedly one of these sports and has no age limits. Spread across courses in the UK you will find some unlikely groups of people bound by their love for this great outdoor sport. Some will play every day, while others will only play on the weekends, perhaps as a way to relieve the stress of a difficult week at the office. No golfer tends to join a club and membership packages vary widely in price. Most golf clubs simply offer standard packages with the assumption that one size fits all and offers a bit of flexibility. However, some offer more realistic membership packages, considering how much you will be playing...

Analyzing Google Analytics data in Tableau

Google Analytics is the  most widely used website statistics service. It provides a great online platform to analyze your web site traffic. Although it provides powerful charts, reports and dashboards to analyze data, if you have needed to use it professionally, you hit its limitations frequently and do the following : Export the Google Analytics data to Excel and try to analyze it there. This manual and tedious process is always needed if you are trying to merge Google Analytics data and some other data in your analysis.

We know that Tableau provides a great data visualization tool and we could leverage its power to analyze Google Analytics data. But to bring the data into Tableau was tedious; you should export it first (to Excel manually or by using Google Analytics API and lots of scripting). Not anymore! With Tableau version 8 onwards, Tableau Software has released Google Analytics connector which makes it quite easy to pull in your Google Analytics data into Tableau. This does not only allow you to create incredibly interactive dashboards to analyze GA data but also allows you to integrate Google Analytics data with some other offline and online data to add great value to your web site analytics effort.

In this short video below, Ellie Fields from Tableau Software, demonstrates how powerful and interactive analytics opportunities Tableau brings to web traffic analysis. In the 3 minutes win Google Analytics challenge, she brings it some data from Google Analytics using the connector and then merges it with some offline data to create an interactive Tableau dashboard.

If you want to try it on your own, you can download Tableau here.

You can enhance the web-analytics data by Salesforce.com, spreadsheets, databases, cubes, Hadoop, or more. Then you can easily publish securely for your department or entire organization to use.

The Black Death and how it changed Europe

 In the dark ages, religious dogma is the law, science is a cult that can be executed, and technology is considered the devil's masterpiece. History and public consciousness bear in mind the aforementioned features of the Dark Ages and the Crusades, which were only examples of the goals of European imperialism. However, there was another major event in the Dark Ages that greatly influenced modern culture in its own right. In fact, a widespread bacterial infection could be said to have a greater impact than most other events at the time. A small bacterial infection wiped out nearly half of Europe, setting off the invasion of the Mongol tribes of Genghis Khan. The same pandemic has left Europe in such a weakened state that it took almost a century for most major nations to recover. A small bacterial infection turned into a large-scale epidemic, spawning many heretical Christian groups, and indirectly leading to the formation of the Inquisition, which paralyzed the old world for deca...
