Energy life cycle analysis (EgLCA), also popularly known as "energy balance," accounts for the amount and type of energy used in the production of a fuel and compares that to the amount of energy contained in the resulting fuel.
We prefer the term "energy life cycle analysis" over "energy balance" because the term "energy balance" could mislead people into thinking that the input and output energy should be balanced, or equal. Because EgLCA is usually concerned with the input of fossil fuel energy versus the energy in the fuel itself, usually the input of solar energy (captured during photosynthesis) is not accounted for.
Energy life cycle analysis is different from Environmental Life Cycle Analysis (EvLCA), which measures the environmental impact or benefits of a product compared to other similar products. In other words, EgLCA is an energy accounting, whereas EvLCA is an accounting of greenhouse gas and other pollutants.
Several studies have been done on the energy life cycle of biodiesel. These studies often have widely differing results because the inputs were different, the assumptions were different, and the energy inputs were divided differently among the various products of the process (biodiesel, oilseed meal, and crude glycerin).
The "energy inputs" of biodiesel production include not only the energy used in the process of converting oil to biodiesel, but also could include the energy required to grow the soybeans, such as agricultural machinery use, and fertilizer and pesticide use; the energy required to transport the soybeans to the biodiesel production plant; and the energy required to construct the biodiesel plant. This is what makes EgLCA in general difficult and somewhat controversial. The energy contained in some of the consumables such as building material is hard to estimate. In addition, there is no specific rule on where to stop the accounting process: for example, should we include the energy used to construct the road to transport the soybeans to the crushing plant?
If the system boundaries (that is, what is included and what is excluded from accounting) were different for two comparable biofuel systems, comparing their performance would not only be meaningless, but also dangerously misleading. Therefore, before the results of an energy life-cycle analysis are interpreted, the assumptions and system boundaries should be carefully examined.
In addition, different studies have allocated the energy inputs differently to the oil and the meal resulting from extracting oil from soybeans. This can also produce widely differing results.
Because of the difficulties of comparing the various studies, and because some of the earlier studies used data that are no longer relevant to the biodiesel industry, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) publishes updated studies as new data becomes available. The latest study was published in 2011: Energy Life-Cycle Assessment of Soybean Biodiesel Revisited. This is an update of a 2009 study: Energy Life-Cycle Assessment of Soybean Biodiesel, which in turn updated a previous USDA study from 1998, Life Cycle Inventory of Biodiesel and Petroleum Diesel for Use in an Urban Bus, which was the first comprehensive life-cycle assessment of biodiesel.
The 1998 USDA study found that soy biodiesel yielded 3.2 times the fossil energy needed to produce the fuel. The 2011 study found that soy biodiesel yields 5.54 times the fossil energy needed to produce it (Sheehan et al., 1998, p. v; Pradhan et al., 2011, p. 1031).
Why the difference? One reason is that soybean production takes less energy now — farmers have largely adopted a no-till approach to soybean planting, which requires less fuel. Soybean yields have improved, and newer soybean crushing facilities are more energy efficient.
Soybean agriculture and processing are expected to become even more energy efficient in the future, and so the ratio of energy input to output of biodiesel ought to continue to improve.
Why is Energy Life-Cycle Analysis Important?
Much of the attention directed toward biofuels production focuses on the perception that biofuels are renewable and have superior environmental attributes compared to their petroleum counterparts. Based on these assumptions, the government and private businesses have spent a lot of resources to develop the infrastructure for biodiesel.
The renewability assumption would be unarguably true if there were no nonrenewable resources such as diesel and gasoline used in the biodiesel production process. However, that is not the case. Some amount of nonrenewable resources are consumed in agriculture, either directly or indirectly.
The use of nonrenewable fossil fuel obviously makes biodiesel less than 100% renewable. The amount of renewability could range from 0% renewable to 100% renewable. If we use as much or more nonrenewable energy to make biodiesel, then the biodiesel is 0% renewable. At the other extreme, if no nonrenewable fuel is used, then the biodiesel is 100% renewable. So we cannot tell for sure without doing some basic calculations how renewable biodiesel is.
Now let us take a step back and revisit our assumption that biodiesel is a renewable fuel. What if the assumptions were wrong and the fuel turned out to be nonrenewable? In that case, biodiesel would take in more fossil energy than it delivers, and it would therefore be an environmentally unfriendly fuel. It would not help the agricultural community in the long run, as the fuel would not be sustainable.
Energy life-cycle analysis provides a way to compare the relative benefits among alternative fuel sources, helps identify a subsystem that may need improvement, and helps make a go or no-go decision for a particular biofuel. A biofuel that is developed after a well-conducted EgLCA with positive results will ensure benefit to the society, country, and the world. Without EgLCA, money and resources may be wasted by investing in something that turns out not to be beneficial.
It should be noted that while assessing biodiesel for renewability, only the nonrenewable fuel that went into production is counted. This is different from the net energy return, which is the comparison of total energy produced by biodiesel compared to total energy (renewable + nonrenewable) that went into making it. If total energy input of a biofuel is greater than the energy produced from the biofuel, then it is called a net negative system.
Although a net negative system sounds not so good, this in itself may not be a bad thing because it may be desirable to convert low-value agricultural products such as corn stover and forest wastes into useful liquid fuel. In such cases, the benefit should be justified separately. Therefore, in order to have a correct assessment of the benefits from biodiesel, or biofuel in general, an energy life-cycle assessment must be conducted.
ISO (2006) further states that the scope, including the system boundary and level of detail, of an LCA depends on the subject and the intended use of the study. The depth and the breadth of LCA can differ considerably depending on the goal of a particular LCA. Therefore, even though there is a general guideline provided in ISO 14040, an individual study could vary significantly depending on how the system boundary was set.
The system boundary defines what is included and excluded in a model. It is almost impossible to track all the energy used over the life cycle of a product because each input has a life cycle of its own, and in turn the inputs required to produce an input each have a unique life cycle. Therefore, a researcher must limit the system boundary used in the analysis and still provide a meaningful EgLCA.
Human food consumption should not be included as an energy input from labor because it does not aid in answering the renewability question, and it creates a circular reference within the system boundary. In any case, since the calorific value provided by human labor accounts for a negligible fraction of the total energy, this can be excluded without introducing much error.
Life-cycle energy (not the calorific value) should be assigned as the equivalent energy for all the inputs. Life-cycle energy is the energy consumed in producing a specific input.
Energy associated with inputs, including machinery, fertilizer, pesticides, lime, chemicals, liquid fuel, electricity, and other fuels used in production and transportation and processing should be included.
Energy required for building and maintaining the biodiesel infrastructure, such as a biodiesel plant, should be included and amortized per unit of biofuel production.
Each co-product should share a portion of the energy input according to either their proportion by weight of the total output (i.e., their mass fraction), or their economic value. The choice depends on the type of research question being answered. For renewability analysis, distributing the energy input based on the mass fraction of the co-product is helpful in determining the energy balance. On the other hand, distributing the energy input based on the economic value of the co-product is suitable for analyzing economic viability of the energy production system.
FER (fossil energy ratio) as defined in the following equation can be used to quantify the renewability of the biodiesel.

Members of the 146th Airlift Wing said goodbye to their families and friends before deploying in December 2022 for up to six months to support Operation Enduring Sentinel in Africa. The deployment marks a shift for the wing as it transitions from supporting operations in the Middle East to operations in the Horn of Africa.
146th Airlift Wing Deploys for Operation Enduring Sentinel

PORT HUENEME, Calif. – Members of the 146th Airlift Wing said goodbye to their families and friends before deploying for up to six months to support Operation Enduring Sentinel in Africa.
The deployment marks a shift for wing members as they transition from supporting operations in the Middle East to operations in the Horn of Africa.
"We're going to be shifting gears from the old Air Expeditionary Force (AEF) deployment model to the new Air Force Force Generation (AFFORGEN) deployment model," said Master Sgt. Adria Hadlock, a unit deployment manager for the 146th Airlift Wing.
The new model aims to move the Air Force's personnel, aircraft and equipment into sections that train and deploy together as units move through each phase of the cycle in the AFFROGEN model.
"As we've slowly seen the shutdown of combat operations over there in Iraq and Afghanistan, it freed up resources to help us focus on operations in the Horn of Africa," said Capt. Sean Ongley, an intelligence officer with the 146th Airlift Wing. "Africa has always been vital to U.S. interests. It is a critical strategic part of the world."
Africa is important to world commerce because a lot of shipping moves through there. Lately, it has become a highly contested area due to the presence of several extremist groups.
"There's long been an insurgent presence in the Horn of Africa from groups such as Al-Shabab to Isis. There are a lot of efforts to combat piracy there, as well," said Ongley. "A lot of the host nation governments there are struggling to contain the extremists within their country, so it's a good opportunity for the U.S. to work with their partners and help them combat those issues."
The deployers will play a paramount role, helping to move supplies and troops within the area and perform other necessary tasks.
"I think it's great that as an Air National Guard unit that we can support the Air Force mission as a whole and play a part in that," said Ongley. "It's a great opportunity for the unit to apply their operational experience and to do the mission out there."
Hadlock said the deployers had almost two full months of additional required training, including a Tactical Combat Casualty Care course, Fieldcraft Hostile Environment training, and Evasion and Conduct After Capture training, all between holidays and other training requirements.
"It was a grueling schedule for the deployers and for those trying to push them through. It was a collaborative effort from the whole base to get them all ready. I'm proud that we were able to help them get all their requirements met and that everyone was able to get out the door on time," said Hadlock.

"The identification of cannabis as a potentially dangerous psychoactive substance did not, however, prevent a substantial number of these enquiries to explore the issue of whether current legislation reflected the real dangers posed by cannabis. Already in 1944, the La Guardia Committee Report on Marihuana concluded that 'the practice of smoking marihuana does not lead to addiction in the medical sense of the word' and that 'the use of marihuana does not lead to morphine or heroin or cocaine addiction' (Zimmer and Morgan, 1997). In 1968 the Wootton Report stated that 'the dangers of cannabis use as commonly accepted in the past and the risk of progression to opiates have been overstated' and 'cannabis is less harmful than other substances (amphetamines, barbiturates, codeine-like compounds)'. A similar conclusion was arrived at 34 years later in 2002 when the Advisory Committee on Drug Dependence proposed the reclassification of cannabis from Class B to Class C (enforced by law in 2004 and confirmed in 2005). These views were reiterated by other enquiries, such as the Baan Committee in the Netherlands, which affirmed in 1971 that 'cannabis use does not lead directly to other drug use' (16) or by the US National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse, which in 1973 stated that 'the existing social and legal policy is out of proportion to the individual and social harm engendered by the use of the drug [cannabis]' (17). The Canadian Le Dain Commission saw 'the UN Single Convention of 1961 as responsible' for such a situation which 'might have reinforced the erroneous impression that cannabis is to be assimilated to the opiate narcotics'. The same commission, however, suggested that the UN Convention did 'not prevent domestic legislation from correcting this impression' (18)."

Walking in someone else's shoes is often the key to learning the most in life. At InfoComm, while we all do much more walking than we'd like, this metaphysical means of pedestrian activity comes from talking to our friends, colleagues, and mentors. In preparation for the annual AV geekery unification, we've been surveying leading integrators and consultants about what they have their eyes on for technology, business trends, markets, training, and overall goals they're looking to achieve while racking up record Fitbit stats.
Ed Cook, CEO, AVMI There was a healthy range of responses, with some expectedly common themes. More than 60 percent of respondents cited networking, IP, IT, and security focuses in the training opportunities prioritized. "With AV projects increasingly being 'owned' by IT departments, we are investing heavily in training our technical engineers and service personnel to speak the language of our colleagues in IT, including adopting the appropriate processes and service frameworks, such as ITIL," said Ed Cook, CEO of AVMI, a global integrator based in the U.K.
Networking along with project management are the training topics most of interest for Travis Deatherage, president, Linx Multimedia, based in Denver, CO. "I believe these are the areas where our industry continues to be the weakest at the integrator level, and these disciplines are critical to our long term success," he said.
Michael Umile, consultant, Akustiks Training and other technical sessions are top priorities for Michael Umile, consultant at Akustiks, in Norwalk, CT, who has found the innovation a bit lacking the past few years at InfoComm. Umile is eager to take advantage of InfoComm's new Seminar and Workshop Package, allowing attendees to participate in up to four hour-long workshops or one-to two-hour seminars from Wednesday to Friday.
In the ever-increasing shift away from hardware, references to simple, intuitive user interfaces and the influence of the Internet of Things (IoT) held top mentions. The latter was cited by AVMI's Cook particularly in the retail sector with sensor and motion technology.
Standardization in those user interfaces, as well as with a global delivery platform, had a few nods. Kelly Bousman, SVP of marketing at AVI-SPL also referenced collaboration ubiquitously, from these open spaces, to applications that promote collaboration without in-room bias, video-based between remote teams to large-scale data visualization for project teams. She is most interested in hearing about collaboration solutions that boost workplace culture and performance.
Some of the other product technologies integrators and consultants mentioned in the survey included video over IP, HDBaseT, BYOD, Dante, and USB 3.0. A few of the other more conceptual trends worth mention were digital signage services with content development and platform management in the cloud, and a new catch-all, XaaS, "any tech as a service." Talent recruitment and participation in InfoComm's Career Fair popped up a few times.

The inspiration for this piece came from a pinstripe suit, the artist has hand painted a chalk stripe around the desk and the draws have been lined with a suit lining.
The leather on the top has been replaced. She has the draw boxes remade on all her pieces and put on soft closing runners.
After growing up by the sea in Poole, Dorset and travelling around the world in my late teens, I moved to London and started training as a specialist painter/ decorative artist, serving a long apprenticeship with a team of painters across the capital. I worked for Smallbone of Devizes, world leader in bespoke cabinetry, working with a quality product and always achieving the highest standards in the finish, whilst tailoring each specification to the client�s individual needs. This gave me the idea for my current collection, to use my technical ability, coupled with my love of art and design to create beautiful quality, design lead furniture. I wanted to create unique works, furniture that exists as works of art whilst still being functional. I breathe new life into classic pieces, restoring and reusing furniture which would otherwise be overlooked. Working with a fresh approach and truly original designs, I transform them into totally unique products for the top end of the market. My work definitely crosses between the boundaries of art and design and my physical work on the pieces involves craftsmanship. I love working in this way and my approach to my work is driven by the excitement and passion that I feel creating and being surrounded by beautiful objects. My aim is to communicate this sense to others so that they can experience the same enjoyment from my work.


• Alias "man" to "woman" ((defalias 'man 'woman)) doesn't work. When you call M-x man, it still invoke "man".
• Often "woman" will prompt me to make a choice among man pages of the same name found in different man paths. Very annoying. From my experiences in unix using in the past 10 years, maybe only once a year that "man" didn't make the right choice.
Emacs should fix the above problems. And, perhaps alias "man" to "woman" by default. The goal is that emacs simply provides a command to read unix manual pages, without user having to know the tech details about "man" and "woman". When "woman" detects a man page in a format it cannot read, automatically launch "man" instead.
The problems you mention are a far cry from making WoMan "unusable".
"unusable" is probably a exaggeration. I'm trying to express how it is unusable to most users who are not emacs enthusiasts.
Consider emacs as a tool. Emacs "man" and "woman" are tools too. People want to run man/woman to get the job done, namely, reading unix man page in emacs. "man" works. "woman" is apparently a improvement, but why isn't it the default? The extra options and configuration adds a burden to the users. Worse is that "woman" itself isn't polished software. So for some emacs user who are beginning to be adventurous, when they read about "woman" and try it, they end up 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20, or more about the tool itself instead of getting the jobs done.
Each thing individually are trivial problems, but emacs with so many unusual streaks, terminologies, non-standard keyboard shortcut notation, unusual undo/redo scheme, configurations etc, earns emacs the steep learning curve and drive away most professional programers.
I think most, or all of these can be fixed, without sacrificing ANY of emacs's power.
• The onset delay of "woman" can certainly be minimized, perhaps by looking into ways to optimize, cache, or done after the first call of "woman", in the background. (example: when user is not typing actively) (so that, at the second call of "woman" in a session, name completion feature is there, transparently) Here, i think caching it under ~/.emacs.d/ is probably a very good solution.
• When "woman" detect a page it cannot read, launch man.


Tech Cafe, friend or foe?
Sitting in the "Times" office, a thirst began to grow. Something that could be only quenched by "The great buy" of America, Arizona Iced Tea. No matter what has been said or speculated about Arizona Iced Tea, does not pertain to this loyal fan. Let them hate.
After being informed of the "Tech Café," just as Willey Coyote chasing the proverbial Roadrunner, the search for Arizona Iced Tea began. Getting there, a sad notion became reality; they had none. Plenty of tea, but not what was wanted. Not a big deal really, but then something else became relevant, general selection and prices.
Bonus of the cafe was its atmosphere, being nice and quiet for you to sit and attend to work that needs to be done. Outside of the cafe are concrete benches and tables, in case you'd like to enjoy the weather, or the nice breeze if getting tired of the A/C.
The most evident of grumbles, was the need of cash, no ATM or credit. This is understandable. Because each swipe of the card is charged to the register that it is connected? Those machines are rented, not owned, just as the ATM machines that ask you, if you are ok with the additional fee.
How much money do they lose due to the fact that they do not accept credit or ATM/Debit cards; some people just do not carry cash anymore. The prices do not really come into question, because well, its capitalism in America, and that means the Cafe is entitled to earn a buck. Free market and competition at its best.
Not having an auto mated teller does not make sense. Nowadays nearly everything has a card feature of some sort. Oh well, let's just hope that one day, the thirst of Arizona doesn't come's a knockin' when all I have is a ATM card. Looks like luck will run out at that moment.

Today I will present the nail polish that became my favourite neutral polish! This is Jules by Zoya.
Jules is part of the Zoya Intimate Collection that was released for spring 2011.
Jules is described by Zoya as "a sparkling neutral light taupe with gold, silver and champagne metallic shimmer. A new modern metallic that gives an ultra-luxe look." I totally agree with this definition! It's a champange toned polish with light brown and gold shimmer. Once one my nails, I realised this is a perfect neutral colour although it's a gold-champagne shade. It makes your nails very classy, sophisticated and neat! It's a work appropriate colour that keeps a subtle and original look.
Can you see the golden shimmer and at the same time, there is a kind of silver undertone...? It's really pretty! I really love this nail polish! It's among my top 5! Application was flawless. I used 3 coats but you could go with 2. It dires really fast. Top coat gives more depth and brighteness to the polish so don't forget this last step!
This is super cute. I have it but I have not tried it yet.
Pam, thank you!! You should definitively try her! She is so beautiful!


Do You Have an Inherited Property? Here's What to Do Next | D&R Home Solutions, Inc.
If you have inherited property such as a home, it's because you have lost someone dear to you, or it could be that you made a major impact in their life. Loss alone is painful enough, and deciding what to do with the new home you have received is stressful. Even though this is a hard time, you can take some comfort in the fact that you have options. There are three possible things you can do next with your new property, and any one of them would make for a fine choice. Let's look at the details on each of these options below. These address a case or scenario where there are no multiple stakeholders in the mix, and the property has already been paid off – with no mortgage to worry about.
If the entire reason that the property was bequeathed to you in your loved one's will was that you had wanted to live there, then this is the obvious choice. You will have to deal with the entire process of selling your own home and getting things in order there before moving in. The good news is that if the inherited property is mortgage-free, you have very few costs to worry about beyond annual property taxes, and the other expenses that come with being a homeowner. If the home is older, it may be a good idea to have the home inspected before moving in, to discover if there are any unforeseen issues that need addressing. Otherwise, welcome to your new place!
Renting out your inherited property to others is slightly more complicated, but nothing too extreme. Because you need the home to be fully-functioning and appealing to renters, there will likely be some updating and replacing involved. These small jobs could be anything from new fixtures, to addressing especially dated bathrooms, to carpeting, new kitchen components, a fresh coat of paint, or other things that you know will attract a good tenant. Historically, renters care less about the long-term components of a dwelling, but at the same time, you want your property to be nice. After all, it did belong to someone special to you, and you should protect it. In terms of finances, there will be expenses involved, such as 24/7 maintenance services that will need to be available to your tenants, perhaps a property management company if you don't manage it yourself, and others. The taxes will be standard property taxes, and you may be able to deduct expenses from maintaining the property.
Despite being incredibly generous, if inheriting the property was not something you wanted, then you'll need to make the arrangements to sell it. If you choose to go the traditional market route to try and make the most money you can from it, then any updating, real estate assistance, staging, and closing costs will fall on your shoulders. If the property is in a highly-sought-after area, these costs could be hefty upfront, but pay off well in the end. In terms of taxes, you may be required to pay capital gains taxes if you fall within a certain tax bracket, in order to cover the difference between the market value of the home when it came into your possession, and when you sold it. But, if this property is in a less desirable area and has too much work to be done – essentially more than it's worth – you have a fourth option: Selling your home to D&R Home Solutions, Inc.
At D&R Home Solutions, Inc., we buy homes in truly any condition. We know that while your deceased loved one meant well, inheriting a home you did not ask for can actually sometimes cause more stress than feelings of gratitude. That is why we will assess all of the factors of the home completely for free, and fairly determine an offer for you, given the circumstances of the property. That's right – no matter the condition! If your home is in Allen, The Colony, Plano, Little Elm, Lewisville, Frisco, or Carrollton, we have you covered. Call us today to discuss your property at (214) 532-7349.

Hot in Cleveland: The Ring
From the episode's title, "The Proposal," you probably knew where this 22-minute block was headed. Sure, perhaps Alec and Melanie decided to speed things up, but the opening moments featuring everyone but Victoria accepting a proposal cured that notion. Then, it's immediately about the ring possibly causing a rejection, for some reason. Emmet: "I'm worried that the diamond is too big." Joy: "that sentence doesn't even make sense." Joy's right; there is no "too big" unless the piece looks like a RingPop. And, from that moment, the rest of the episode is more about that ring than anything else... how Emmet will use it in the proposal, what Melanie and Joy will do to find it when it goes missing, and even how it immediately becomes evidence in a case against Emmet. The whole IRS arrest came off as contrived, but this series isn't exactly known for its subtlety.
Hot in Cleveland "The Proposal" (S04E15): Emmet is worried about proposing to Victoria, as between his four marriages and her five, all of the "good proposals" (i.e. via dolphin) have been used. After discussing numerous ideas with Victoria's friends, Emmet decides to go with the classic restaurant setting, as she'd never expect it. [for what it's worth, my proposal was at a restaurant (albeit at the Space Needle) and I didn't see it coming!] Melanie and Joy put the ring in a dish of chocolate mousse, but they don't keep an eye on it and it disappears. [why they left it alone, who knows!] This means that they need to go to extreme measures to find it, even if that means hunting through other mousses, insulting a newly-engaged couple, making Victoria cry, and taking the ring from another couple. [I was upset for the girl in the antique blouse!]
facebook.com/hotincleveland
Things at the restaurant get complicated even after the ring is found, though, as Alec squeals when he sees a mouse, right when Emmet was practicing his proposal. This causes the restaurant patrons to think Emmet is gay. [which was kinda funny.] Of course, he then proposes to Victoria, in the middle of being arrested for tax fraud, for which is is held without bail. [The girls bringing home another mousse with another ring was too much!]

Fall 2017 Interests


Det er under en måned siden, at vi kunne fortælle, at indie-spillet Killer Queen Black var blevet udskudt til udgivelse til sommer, men nu har udvikleren så været ude og fortælle, at spillet udkommer i tredje kvartal i år, dvs. engang i juli, august eller september, så udgivelsen er potentielt set blevet skubbet en lille smule.
The Glam Rock-inspired 16-bit art-style will require some rocking new tunes, so instrumental power metal cover band Powerglove will provide the theme and end-of-level stingers. Check out the game's brand-new second trailer for a taste!
Battle for the hive in two teams of four – one Queen, and three Workers. Coordination and adaptability are the keys to dominating opponents. The Queen enters the fray armed with a stinger she can use to both attack the other team and defend herself, as she's the only Bee with limited lives. Her heightened maneuverability and wings help her cross the battlefield quickly and tag power-up gates on the map, claiming them for her team.
But what's a Queen without her loyal subjects? Workers excel in adaptability, making them essential for game-winning objectives. While initially defenseless, by grabbing a berry and taking it to the gates, Workers can boost their speed, become Soldiers, wielding maces, swords, shields, and laser rifles, or even do both and transform into deadly-quick aggressors. Choose whichever form helps the team pursue one of three different types of victories.
Economic Victories task Workers with collecting berries on the battlefield and bringing them back to their home base. Prefer a more aggressive style of play? Slay the opposing team's Queen three times with either a Queen or a Soldier to earn a Military Victory. Finally, one snail waits in the middle of each map. Slowly ride it back to base and secure a Snail Victory. Win three times, and the game's over. Ascend the ranks and there's a chance to become the dreaded Black team.
Any given time there is one Black team playing in the world, clad in special, glowing outfits. Once dethroned by up-and-comers, the usurpers become the new Black team. These nail-biting competitions will be broadcasted at all times, making the ultimate team a coveted, constantly-shifting goal.

How are you choosing to market your brand right now? Facebook? Email campaigns? Letter box drops? How much money are you sinking into these methods currently (think about costs in printing, Facebook ads, labour)? Are you seeing results?
If your answer is no, then it's time to take a look at the way you're choosing to market, particularly your content marketing. Don't know what this is? Put simply, content marketing is the creation and sharing of online material that provokes interest in a brand by indirectly promoting a product or service (e.g. blogs, social media posts, infographics, videos, etc.).
If you're already pushing these out and it still doesn't seem like it's working, don't worry, you're not alone. Although the majority of businesses are doing content marketing, most of them are failing at it.
The issue for most businesses attempting content marketing is their strategy. And an even bigger problem? Most businesses don't even have a strategy. If you don't have one – make one. Take a look at Hootesuite's article on how to create a content marketing strategy for a comprehensive walkthrough if you don't know where to start. As you're creating your strategy, do some research into your competitors. If their content has been successful, learn from it. Look at what platforms they share their content on and learn how to use them. Take note of who is engaging with their content and target them. Once you create a strategy and deliver on your objectives you will have a much higher chance of being a successful content marketer. Give it a go and see if it makes a difference in the success of your content marketing.
If you don't have the finances to invest in your marketing, don't worry! We understand not every business can allow for a large marketing budget. Instead, invest time and commitment into creating a solid content strategy, implement it and consider investing financially in your marketing in the future. Most businesses plan to spend more on content marketing this financial year than ever before – this can only mean one thing – done well, it works. Use your time well to create good content and work towards a time when you can invest financially into your marketing.
People are not going to like, share or follow something that is not entertaining or informative. If people aren't engaging with your content, then it is highly likely that you need to re-establish your understanding of your target audience. Who are the people you are trying to reach? Would they be interested in what you are posting?
Just because your brand doesn't sell something fun doesn't mean you can't produce engaging content. Selling tissues? Write a blog about every situation a tissue would come in handy. Growing beetroots? Publish a recipe featuring beetroot once a week. It is definitely harder to produce content in 'boring' industries but we are yet to find a business where it is impossible.
Your content should inspire people. It should make them identify with your brand. It should make them remember you.
If you do decide to create content, utilise it to the best of your abilities. Take the beetroot recipes example. If you take the time to find some beetroot recipes and publish them on your website, ensure you take the next step and promote them – publish them on Facebook, post them on Instagram – this is a major component of content marketing. No one will see your content unless you promote it. Putting content on your blog and not sharing it is like organising a party and not inviting anyone to attend. It's a waste of time.
Don't waste your time. Make the creation and implementation of your content marketing plan a priority. If there's one thing to remember, it's have a strategy. Now is the time to set yourself up for success, not failure. Don't expect it to happen overnight, it's going to be a long process and it's extremely easy to get frustrated. Be patient, invest in it, build a community and keep pushing on. If you need any assistance with your content marketing, don't hesitate to contact us for mentoring sessions on (03) 9499 9100.


WeedPro® Lawn Care offers a preventative treatment for grub control in early summer, just after they hatch. They are very susceptible to treatment at this time, just before they start causing extensive damage to your lawn. Preventative lawn treatments are most effective for your lawn and avoid costly repairs and insecticides in the future. We offer the best grub control for your lawn.
Grubs are tiny insects that feed on the roots of your grass. In areas where grubs have caused extreme damage, the turf begins to brown and die, and the sod can be lifted up like a piece of carpet. To check for grubs, simply grab a handful of turf and tug; if grubs are there then the sod will most likely lift off. Grub damage can go unnoticed for weeks and even months on turf that is watered consistently. The grubs remain hidden under the sod and, the turf will appear healthy if continually watered. Yet while the damage may not appear quickly, it can completely devastate a lawn.
The grubs that you see in the lawn are the larvae of Japanese beetles, June beetles, and chafers. These grubs are C-shaped, off-white in color with a dark head. They start the cycle by laying eggs from late June until early August in the thatch layer of your lawn. These eggs hatch in about two weeks and the tiny "baby grubs" grow quickly and begin eating their way through the thatch and into the soil. Grubs feed heavily through late summer and fall and create yellowing patches of sod in late August and September from their vigorous feeding on the water-stressed turf. When soil temperatures begin to cool in October or November, the grubs stop feeding and move deeper into the soil, where they spend the winter. Come spring, they return to the root zone to feed until they "pupate" (or go into a cocoon), which is when they change into the adult beetles and start the cycle again.
Grubs are not a serious threat until there are enough of them to form a damaging population. Healthy lawns can support a wide variety of insects without suffering noticeable damage. Grubs are not "damaging" until we find at least 6 to 8 per square foot.
Once the damage becomes visible, it is too late for lawn grub control in most cases. Damaged white grub areas will not recover because the plant and root system are dead. Before making repairs, the grubs will have to be treated immediately or damage will continue. Fortunately, if you have a fescue lawn this is the time to aerate and overseed the grass. This will fill in bare spots and rejuvenate the lawn. If you have Bermuda or Zoysia grass, you will have to aerate the lawn in the spring to promote new growth and spread of the turf to fill in damaged areas.
There are no repellents for Japanese Beetles. Our goal at WeedPro® Lawn Care is to minimize the damage caused during the summer with our Tree and Shrub program. If you have plant material on your landscape that is favored by beetles, you will see damage (Crepe Myrtles, Cherry trees, Purple Plum Trees or River Birches). The contact aspects of our products will control any beetle activity when we are there, and our products also have a residual that remains with your plants for any beetles that come to feed later. The beetles will take a few bites and then will either leave or die in most cases.

This story was collected as part of the "Teaching Teleapprenticeships" research project at the University of Illinois, sponsored by the National Science Foundation.
The professor for a Junior level science methods course was excited by the prospects of his six students sharing Macintosh portable computers. These secondary science education majors are in the schools for a field experience during this spring semester. Face-to-face meetings with students are scheduled once a week, so the professor planned to use e-mail as a means of fast efficient delivery of course information, special notices, methodology questions, special problems and the like. Last spring, 1992, students in this course made heavy use of electronic communications and the professor anticipated a similar situation.
This spring, in addition to using electronic communications, students have been exploring other uses of technology in the school setting as an aid to classroom instruction. One university student has been using the portable to show high school students how to store, analyze and graph data from lab experiments and then to write up lab reports. Her students use a Macintosh in the science room at their school to enter, analyze and graph their data, and write up reports. Another university student is using the portable to organize lessons and have high school students watch the monitor as they go through the lesson, in the same way that a teacher might use an overhead projector. University students are also using the portables in the more conventional ways, such as developing and printing out lesson plans, worksheets and tests. These students are finding that combining these uses with the communication uses gives them additional power in their student teaching.
