Three Steps to Building Your Content
Writing holds enormous potential for financial advisors. The key is to create a continuous stream of valuable information for their clients, prospects and anyone else that may land on the post.
How can you transition the use of your content marketing to drive traffic, establish yourself as an expert and ultimately grow your business? That's exactly what I'll tackle in this article, highlighting three main steps: finding your voice, creating a routine and managing and monitoring your results.
Finding your voice
Align your reader with your ideal client
Instead of writing content that interests you, focus on content that will interest those with whom you would like to work. Write as though you were talking to those individuals. It's always nice to add stories and other personal touches.
Follow the 90/10 rule
Opt for sharing high-quality, helpful content 90% of the time to build trust, and be sure to pitch yourself 10% or less of the time. Rather than writing blog posts that are focused solely on the services you offer, write articles that reflect the problems you solve. Not only does this keep you from sounding salesy and spammy, but it also makes your promotional posts stand out and gain more attention.
Brand your posts
Maintain a consistent style not only with your blog images, but also with your tone, grammar and style. Branding makes your blog appear more professional and streamlined, helps your business become familiar to your audience, and fosters reader loyalty.
Write clearly
Writing for a blog is much different than writing a college thesis; people visit a blog and expect it to be very easy to read and easy to understand. A blog post should be a quick read and deliver valuable content. One tip that can help you simplify your writing is to imagine you are writing your post for middle-school-aged children. Make it so easy to read and understand that someone at a 7th or 8th grade reading level would understand it perfectly.
Determine an ideal length
Some suggest long-form content – 2,000 words or more for search-engine optimization (SEO) purposes, while others say that articles should be more in the 500-word range due to information overload and the attention span of the average reader. I recommend that articles range from 500 to 750 words, since the minimum number of words with many article directories is about 500. Writing 550 words is a safe bet. Ultimately, it is up to your personal preference.
Use relevant links
Inbound and outbound links are important for your SEO score. They can also be a great tool to keep readers coming back to your blog. These links must be relevant to your content and be useful to your reader, or they will become annoying. Inbound links will direct your readers to other relevant posts on your blog. When blogging, link to past posts whenever possible. It will not only boost SEO, it will also compel them to enjoy past content that you have created. Outbound links will direct your readers to other resources outside of your blog. It is so important that these links be chosen with care. They must not only be relevant, but they must also be reliable. You do not want to send your readers to a questionable website.
Creating a routine
Inconsistency in blogging sends a message to your audience that you don't take your blog seriously. Make blogging a part of your regular business routine.
Create an annual calendar theme
By creating an annual calendar you can explore recurring themes that come up each year. It could be the seasons, holidays, or industry specific topics that are relevant during that time. By having this reference you will be able to look back each year at what you have written in the past, revisit popular topics, or change things up to keep them interesting.
Brainstorm in bulk
It's much easier to do this in bulk then one at a time. Sit down and create a list of topics that you haven't covered yet and you think might engage your ideal client. Put the topics in one file – I use google docs since I can access this file on any device quickly if an idea pops in my head during non-business hours. It is much better if you can outline them immediately. Each time you need to update your blog, you can write your content in less than thirty minutes since the framework of the article has already been cut out for you.
Break it down
Write an in-depth treatment of a broad topic that is informative and helpful to your readers, then break it down into shorter articles. Post the sub-articles in a regularly spaced-out sequence, and do not forget to link them internally to the other parts of the article. The advantages of doing this are two-fold. One, you drive traffic to the other web pages in your site. And two, you impress your readers with your expertise about a certain topic and cover a lot of perspectives.
Incorporate video
If you only have time to blog a few paragraphs each week, then supplement the web content with videos that instruct and showcase your product or your expertise. Embedding YouTube videos adds to your site's overall SEO. This is also a great way to let your audience feel more connected to you. They get to see you, hear your voice, and, hopefully, get a feel for your personality.
Managing and monitoring your results
Manage your process
You cannot just write the content and then let it sit there. You must bring awareness to what you are doing. You can do this through sharing on social media or featuring your articles in an email blast. No one will know that it is there if you do not tell them about it.
Monitor your performance
Google Analytics is a great tool to keep track of how your blog is performing, and where the traffic is coming from. It can be easy for these metrics to be forgotten, so set up weekly reports from Google Analytics to be delivered directly to your inbox.
Perform maintenance
Inspect your blog and social media postings for broken links. A broken link tarnishes the impression of your site and brand, as well as users' perceptions of your expertise.
Creating captivating content that promotes your business can be a daunting task, especially for those who have never attempted it before. This task, however, is more than achievable and successful with the right motivation and direction. You are a professional in your industry and you possess expertise and services that are of value to others. Don't be afraid to give some of that knowledge away and use it to the advantage of growing your own business. Just be sure that you follow and keep to a guideline where you don't overlook anything and always appear professional.
If you are interested in starting your own blog but may be a little apprehensive about it, or are simply unsure of where or how to get started, please give me a call and I will be happy to help you along in the process and get you moving towards growing your business.

Walk this way
HAVE a quick visit planned to Pondicherry with no idea where to find the city's signature French-influenced cuisine? The about-to-be-launched Gourmet Food Walk may be the solution for visitors looking for a special introduction to Pondicherry's French gastronomical influences. "Most visitors coming to Pondicherry know that they can find good food here," says Fiona Guerra, the tour's creator, along with her partner Idriss Madir, "but they have no real idea about French gastronomy—or where to find really good French and Creole cuisine. Many places serve French food—but not all are good ones!" The Gourmet Food walk guides visitors through a three-hour dining experience with the help of the dynamic Julien, a local Pondicherry resident, who is full of stories and experiences of the city's culinary and night-life.
In Creole kitchens
Guerra and Madir had also launched the Pondy Cycle Tour a year-and-half ago, to give curious visitors culturally grounded, authentic experiences of the city and its many unique buildings and neighbourhoods. The Gourmet Food Walk builds on the success of the cycle tour, but takes visitors inside the world of Creole cuisine on foot this time. Modelled on gourmet food tours found in cities like Lima or San Francisco, this food walk promises a unique laid-back dining experience with starters, a main course, cheese platter, dessert, and a signature beverage in each of four different iconic, heritage locations. "There are introductions to street food in cities like Mumbai," Fiona continues, "but few by way of truly gourmet experiences of fine dining." At each stop, there will be mezze platters and/or few dishes presented to showcase the mixing of French and Indian influences: for instance, coriander fish or the presentation of Auroville cheeses. At the moment, the tour is non-vegetarian in keeping with the spirit of French gastronomy, but more vegetarian options may be developed in the future, depending on visitor demand. "We steer clear of the typical multi-cuisine options," says Guerra, "and in the process also hope to keep visitors away from big fast-food chains like KFC!" Those interested will have to take the tour to know more details, as the idea is to discover food in Pondicherry serendipitously. The tour will involve about a half hour of walking, and will end at Bharati park—where visitors can choose to ride a rickshaw or take a leisurely digestive walk by the beachfront promenade.
On Wednesdays through Sundays, by advance booking only. At `3,000 per person, including the full meal and guide (excluding alcohol). Details: 0413 4200718 (The food walk and the cycle tour, featured right, are organised by Sita Cultural Centre)

Free Nature Study Printables and more
Yesterday's post on Spring Wild Flowers and today's amazing spring weather plus a few hours spent digging outside in the dirt got me all set up to receive this newsletter in my inbox this afternoon…
Have you subscribed to Barb/Harmony Art Mom's Handbook Of Nature Study Newsletters? You should!
She's my favorite nature blogger, offering all kinds of wonderful nature study resources. Some of the resources are available on her blog and others are available only to subscribers.
I'd used her blog as a resource for months, maybe even years, before finally subscribing a few months ago. It was the recent Bird Study that got me. I wanted the free printables available only to subscribers. 🙂
This month (May 2013) the topic is Garden Flowers and Crops. My favorite parts of the newsletter are always the free printables–this month there is a fun Challenge Grid with 23 fairly simple activities for appreciating your flowers and/or crops. I also love the printable journal page for sketching and describing a flower (or many flowers, if you make several copies of the journal page!).
These resources are available all month long, but not after that. So head on over to Handbook of Nature Study and sign up to receive the newsletters!
Exploring Nature with Kids: Winter Nature Walk
The boys and I enjoyed (for the most part) a Winter Nature Walk with some friends yesterday. Read more about our nature buddies here: 5 Tips for a Successful Nature Walk with Kids: {#1 Find a Buddy}.
We hit a trail near our friends' home–not really a destination per se, but a convenient location for us. In nicer weather we like to picnic together, but in the winter we try to stick close to one of our homes for lunch purposes. Our main goal is to get all of us out into nature for enjoyment and observation.
In preparation for our expedition, we read through parts of the book pictured above: Take A Winter Nature Walk.
It gave us good ideas of things to look (and listen) for. I love the author's enthusiasm for nature, and the personal stories she includes throughout the book.
The boys love the photos of winter sights. Older Brother really likes the section about animal tracks. (And we saw lots of tracks on our walk)!Read More
Free nature journal resources for kids
We do lots of nature study here at the Yankee Homestead.
Older Brother (6 yrs. old) works daily on his Nature Folder, which includes a Nature Observation Calendar and a Clouds & Weather Tracker. We also have blank Nature Journal pages that we use from time to time, especially after a more formalized nature excursion (like our recent trip to Claude Moore Park).

Claude Moore Park in Sterling, VA (plus naturalist-recommended wildflower guides)
This park is a bit of a trek for us, but our visit was well worth the drive.
What a treasure! They have a fabulous visitor's center, with wonderful resources for kids (and their parents). The trails are plentiful and well-marked, with a variety of lengths from which to choose. I highly recommend Claude Moore Park for kids and families of all ages!

There are many choices of herbicides for weeds in lawns. First, you need to determine what kind of weeds you have. Then, you need to be aware of how the herbicide works before buying the right product for your particular situation.
These are the most common preemergents and postemergents on the market...
PreEmergent Herbicides
Note: New herbicides for weeds in lawns are constantly being developed. Check with your local garden center for the latest products. Make sure you read the label carefully.
If you get tired of battling weeds or don't want to be exposed to pesticides, have a local lawn treatment company do it. I like how you can sign up online for a free estimate.

We all know that life is totally unpredictable and anything can happen. Most of us try to plan ahead and foresee their future needs and expenses, but still there are things which happen suddenly and there's nothing you can do about it. You never know if you will need money for an urgent car repair, you may lose your phone or get a bill which has to be paid urgently.
Financial experts insist that every person who wants to create personal financial well-being should have an emergency fund. However, it's important to understand the difference between an emergency fund and rainy day savings. Feeling curious?
Continue reading.
Rainy Day vs. Emergency
Most financial experts say that rainy day savings is the money which can help you to fix unexpected problem or to help you to stay afloat within a few days. In other words, this money can't provide you during a long term. Emergency fund is intended to help you to make ends meet in case of a serious life change.
According to a perfect scenario, emergency savings should be enough for you to cover all your living expenses within 3-4 months. But for sure – the more money you have, the more confident and protected you feel yourself.
Start Keeping a Track of Expenses
To build an emergency fund it's necessary to understand one thing: the less money you spend the more you can add to your savings. That's why it's time to start counting your money. Write down all the purchases you make within a month, so in the end of it you'll be able to analyze your spending. It allows you to understand how much you spend on your wants and on your needs and which expenses you can easily avoid.
Get Ready for Lifestyle Changes
Ask yourself some questions and be honest in your answers. For example, do you really need a cable TV? Can you do something to pay less for it? Can you refuse eating out with friends? Do you really need getting Starbucks coffee every morning? Think of all the payments you make regularly and contact service providers to see if you can reduce your expenses. Even a small change can lead to impressive results! Start respecting your money and do your best to stop throwing it on unnecessary things.
Choose the Right Place for Your Savings
The next step is to decide where to keep your savings. Keeping it at home is risky because when you have an easy access to the money you can use it for any other reason which is not an emergency. It's better to put your money in the bank where it's safe and you can benefit from your deposit.
Make More Money
Understand that having an emergency fund will make you feel independent. For example, if you're facing unforeseen business costs then instead of taking out a short-term business loan you can use your own money. Focus on boosting your income and consider different ways for doing that. Think of your skills – maybe you can get a part-time job? Surf the Internet. Fortunately, there's a variety of online jobs which can be become a source of basic or additional income.
Change Your Way of Thinking
If you always had a passive attitude concerning your money and your income, then it's time to look around. Did such attitude help you to achieve your goals in life?
Most likely the answer is "no". Start using your time effectively, it should bring you money. Learn to think like a potential millionaire and sell all the things you don't need, start make money on space you don't use.
Just take a look around and you'll see that people looking for opportunities find them sooner or later.

Healthy donkeys only need hay and the chance to graze for feed, as well as a salt lick and water. All of the donkeys at the sanctuary are rescued and many come with health issues that require extra feed. Older donkeys can lose their teeth making it difficult to chew hay so in the kitchen Sheila boils water and adds it to the All Phase to make mush in the morning and late afternoon for several donkeys. Some donkeys at the sanctuary require medication. The easiest way to feed it to them is to mix it with the All Phase. Holistic medicine is used as well and added to food. The third photo shows Timothy cubes which are used for extra nutrition as some rescued donkeys are malnourished. Feeding time at the barn is fun, as soon as Sheila starts to boil water donkeys start gathering in the barn. As the animals are put in their feeding spots, so they they don't eat each others' food as they are certainly prone to do, the braying starts. Some are sure they're going to be missed though this never happens. When everyone is finished eating many donkeys go back outside while the older donkeys stay in the barn for the night.

Throughout the 19th Century, there was a continuing momentum of exotic grandeur. The aristocracy in Europe was caught up in a craze of building architectural follies-pavilions, pagodas, palaces, grottoes and the like. It was a time when to have no eccentricity was an eccentricity in itself.
To provide the furnishings for such follies, creative furniture makers expressed themselves in whimsical, fantastical creations that were transformed far beyond practicality.

Before we begin, practice healthy creative habits: Clear your space of clutter, set aside some time to focus and spend 2-3 minutes doing your Daily Free Writing before you begin. See Lesson 2 for more about DFW.
Now that we have a rough outline in place, it's time to gather. We've emptied out what we have so far, but it's time to refill. For this exercise I'm suggestion two tools. First, Trello, to set some limits on your research and inspiration gathering so it doesn't become a rabbit warren of endless internet searching (so fun and delicious but potentially distracting).
Sign up for Trello (it's free). It will take you to this main page:
The Welcome Board is a sample of what can be done in Trello, so it's worth taking a look. However, today we're going to click "create new board". Name it whatever you like, it's private and only you can see it. Then create three new cards: Research, Inspiration, Completed.
It should look like this:
These are like buckets, where you'll store tasks for your book. When they are complete you can drag them over to the completed bucket you just created. It's the limit of what you'll be looking for – to make sure you're focused on what your book needs right now. To finish this task go to your outline and read what you've put together. Make a list of everything you need to research but be specific. It's better to look into the "latest study on bilingualism and late life memory loss" versus "bilingualism in general". Research should answer a specific question related to your book that will help you move forward. "Who was the first person to create art on the computer" is much better than, "Research the history of digital art". We're looking for questions that at their heart can be answered definitely.
You will have more questions later. This is not your last chance. We're just focused on what we need at this moment to move forward.
For each item add a new card to your Research bucket. After you're done it might look like this:
If you have complicated questions, within each card you can add a check list like this:
For your next bucket, you're looking for inspiration on how to tackle form and style questions. For example: how do books about my topic typically begin? What do their first chapters look like? Do they use a narrative device? What examples are there of successful books that have used a structure similar to mine?
It might look something like this:
This is your task list. You will add to it in the future as well, but as items are completed, you can make notes within the card then drag it into Completed. I use a completed bucket instead of just archiving it because I want to be able to reference that information quickly but still make a note for myself that I finished looking into it.
Trello is your to-do list for research. It keeps you focused.
Storing Your Research
For this, I use Evernote. It's free. Go sign up. You only need the Evernote Basic account at this point.
Evernote lets you save entire articles and webpages. Install the Evernote Clipper to add it to Google Chrome so you can save content with one click. It will add a little elephant icon to your top toolbar:
If you're on a webpage that answers one of your book related research items, you can "clip" the article by just hitting that icon. It will look like this:
Press Save.
Everything you save will be placed into Evernote. The full article. If the website disappears, if you lose access, if things change, it doesn't matter because you have a snapshot of that moment and it will never change. In the research for my book I was often saved by Evernote as the original sites had simply disappeared. I highly recommend using Evernote for this purpose because it's a permanent record of the information you collected without having to solely rely on your notes. Here's what it looks like with a few items clipped:
As you get the hang of it, you can also add tags to make items easier to find, but the cool thing is even if you don't, it's all searchable. If I search for "painting" it only shows me the items with that word included (it also searches tags but if the word is already in the article it's not necessary to add it as a tag, it will show up either way).
Today's Assignment
Sign up for Trello and Evernote and get the Evernote Clipper. Create your to-do list in Trello and complete as much research as is reasonable, but don't feel like you have to complete all your research today.

Having a disease doesn't always result in painful or extremely noticeable symptoms. In fact, there are countless diseases that exhibit no or few symptoms, meaning the sufferers are actually unaware they even have the condition. This does not mean, however, that the disease is no threat to their health. In fact, many of these diseases can be deadly, and many can cause premature death and generally bad health.
So, it's important that you have regular check-ups with your doctor, to ensure that you're in good health, and so any of these symptomless diseases can be spotted and dealt with.
Want to learn more about these diseases? Take a look at these 11 diseases that you might have, but simply don't know about.

I am very sorry about that. I am at a sleep-away camp and I have tons of homework to do. My opponents statement about how you can usually find tv content on youtube is untrue. That would be known as pirating with is illegal. Also, you can not watch whatever you want on youtube. Unless you have an account that is verified to be 18 years or older, you aren't allowed to watch some videos. You can not also watch youtube whenever you want. If you don't have wifi, you can't watch youtube at that point in time. I also would like to state that my opponents arguments have no impact. This renders all of his arguments useless. I would like to thank my opponent for this debate.

First of all, I would like to thank my opponent for allowing me to post my round in the comments.
Let me define a few things:
Better: higher in quality (Merriam-Webster)
Television: programs that are broadcast by television (Merriam-Webster)
Something being better than something else is an opinion.
I would first like to make a few points. TV has a wide range of shows ranging from cooking, to cartoons, to documentaries, to reality TV. The shows that you watch on TV are often more professional and interesting to the mass of videos you find on Youtube.
Many of the videos on youtube are uninteresting to people. There are often a small percentage of all the channels on youtube that people regularly watch. What does this show? It shows that Youtube cannot guarantee quality videos every time you watch something. According to kff.org, the average kid watches 38 minutes of TV, compared to only 15 minutes of Youtube. This shows kids often watch more TV than Youtube. This shows that kids have a longer attention span for TV, which means they are more interested in it.
Now let me respond to my opponents earlier argument. You cannot watch Youtube wherever you want. If you don't have wifi where you are, you cannot watch Youtube. In fact, some parts of Youtube are blocked in Germany and China.
My opponent also stated that Youtube is free. This as a matter of fact isn't true because some channels require payment. For example, /DRIVE+ on youtube requires you to pay $3.99 a month for you to watch it's videos. This breaks down my opponent's two arguments.

Colombian artist Raul Marroquin studied at the Maastricht van Eyck Academy in the early 1970s and moved to Amsterdam and was part of the conceptual art scene of the period.
Raul Marroquin, Oh I left the T.V on!, 1978. 1060 x 605 mm. Red, green and black ink on yellow paper stock with various glued printed elements. Preparatory layout plans for Marroquin's 'Oh I left the T.V. on!' event at Museum Fodor in Amsterdam, 8 June, 1978.
Clock, 1999, 14.6 x 14.6cm
Set Square, 1999, 14.6 x 14.6cm
Big Ben, 1999, 14.6 x 14.6cm
Original hand painted ceramic tiles. Two are initialed and dated "RM 1999". No place or edition size given. The artist has confirmed that this tile was published in Amsterdam and involves a unique hand drawn painting. A naive depiction of a clock's hour, minute and second arms; a set square and Big Ben. The works are an example of the artist's interest in the concept of Low Tech – Marroquin's LowTechLab project features at the Saatchi Gallery in January 2016 and includes artwork from the period. Marroquin, originally from Colombia, studied at the Maastricht van Eyck Academy in the early 1970s and moved to Amsterdam and was part of the conceptual art scene of the period.
Ways of Communication, 17 July, 1972.
122 x 332 x 21 mm. Newsprint collage, hand-stamped, handwritten, rubberstamped, wood and glass. It is very rare to get an early work like this from the Colombian born artist's core conceptual period. This 1972 montage involves a handcut newspaper fragment juxtaposed with a handwritten statement by the artist "WAYS OF COMMUNICATION – PHOTOGRAPHS. The photograph is a document of an actual happening, and can be later a way to communicate an idea'. As was typical of the period rather than signing the work, Marroquin has stamped it with the 'In-Out productions Equipo Movimento' logo founded by Marroquin together with the artist Young Tschong. Also rubberstamped with the date '17 Juli 1972'. The glass is pressed against the mixed-media work on paper and has been taped to a wooden block with two drawing pins holding a hook. This frame was made by Marroquin and is very much part of the object artwork (note due to this frame the colour of the handwriting and the rubber stamps has faded over time to a uniform grey, which is many ways seems quite suitable in communicating the idea of photographic documents). A unique object produced in Maastricht when Marroquin was working at the Jan van Eyck Academy.
Untitled, 1998,
Untitled, 1998, 28 x 10 cm (closed) approximately 330 cm x 28 cm (open). Handmade leporello featuring a continuous drawing in grey graphite and red pencil on Thailand paper. Signed and dated by the artist.

Preview Abstract Abstract
Xueqiao Xu
(Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory)
The high-fidelity BOUT$++$ two-fluid and Gyro-Landau-Fluid code suites have demonstrated significant recent progresses toward integrated multi-scale simulations for a full ELM cycle with ELM dynamics. In order to improve the computational efficiency for a full ELM cycle with ELM dynamics, the basic set of dynamical equations has been separated into equations in the fluctuating and averaged parts over binormal direction. The two parts are advanced together in time but with different time steps, and dynamically exchange the turbulence fluxes and averaged profiles. Nonlinear ELM simulations show three stages of an ELM event: (1) a linear growing phase; (2) a fast crash phase; and (3) a slow inward propagation phase lasting until the core heating flux balances the ELM energy loss and the ELM is terminated. To better understand the inter-ELM pedestal dynamics during the pedestal recovery, BOUT$++$ simulations started from a kinetic equilibrium reconstruction using measured plasma profiles from DIII-D show that quasi-coherent fluctuations (QCFs) can provide the necessary transport to limit and saturate the H-mode pedestal gradient. The simulations predict that (1) QCFs are localized in the pedestal region as observed on DIII-D; (2) the QCFs are near marginal instability for ideal ballooning modes combined with drift-Alfven wave modes; (3) the dominant mode is around n$=$15, k$_{\mathrm{\theta }}\rho_{\mathrm{i}}=$0.034, comparable to the measured value of 0.04; (4) the frequency of the mode is around 80kHz, close to that of the measured QCF; and (5) particle transport is smaller than the heat transport. BOUT$++$ simulations have also been performed to elucidate the nature and underlying physics mechanisms of the weakly-quasi-coherent mode (WCM) with higher collisionality, which causes particle transport in I-mode pedestals of Alcator C-Mod. Key simulation results are that (1) there is no ideal peeling-ballooning mode instability for the I-mode studied; (2) a strong instability exists at n $\ge $ 20; (3) the mode propagates in the electron diamagnetic direction; (4) the predicted frequency of the n$=$20 mode agrees with the measured WCM peaking around 300kHz; (5) the predicted $\chi_{\mathrm{e}}$ agrees with the $\chi _{\mathrm{eff}}$ from the experiment; and (6) the predicted particle transport is larger than the predicted heat transport.

4QD have supplied motor speed controllers to the Greenpower battery powered electric car competition for many years, and our controllers are highly efficient. The event has been won more than once using our controllers. This page has all the hints and tips we've learned to assist competitors get the most out of their cars.
When it comes to choosing a controller our recommendation for new teams is our Porter-5. For the teams that are chasing that last 1% of performance we have the Porter 10XX. We have just launched the SST-031 which is similar in performance terms to the Porter-5. Used with the softstart software it can provide a very basic on – off control in place of a relay, but as it is based on a microprocessor it can also allow experimentation with more advanced aspects of motor control. We have a table at the bottom of the page which compares the three.
Interpreting the rules
There is a lot of information including the rules, tips etc at the official Greenpower site which you can find here.
Motor and batteries are fixed, so the challenge is how to make best use of the available energy. This means building an efficient design, then getting the most out of the batteries.
Mechanical efficiency; The competition is all about the mechanical design of an efficient vehicle. This, above everything else, will define the result. The areas you must look at are:
Aerodynamic efficiency; Wind resistance increases with the square of the speed. To minimise aero losses the ideal approach is to go as slowly as possible consistent with just running out of battery power exactly at the end of the event [but try telling the driver that!].
Rolling efficiency; If the vehicle does not roll very freely, it is wasting power. Narrow, high pressure tyres will help, as will high quality, well adjusted and lubricated bearings.
Mechanical drive train efficiency; The motor's mechanical output has to be transferred to the wheels. Gear trains are not 100% efficient and can loose quite a lot of power. Chains are good, but again must be well adjusted and lubricated.
Energy usage; Getting the most out of the batteries is paramount. Plot the discharge curves for your batteries when supplying the current that your vehicle actually takes. Then figure out how you can get that amount of energy to last to the end of the event. Options are a] set your maximum speed appropriately. b] have a monitoring system that lets you monitor your energy use and adjust your speed accordingly. Test each battery, and use the best for the races and the worst ones for practise.
Motor efficiency; The motor's performance curves (which are available on the official site) include a graph of its efficiency. For this sort of contest you need to run as close as possible to maximum efficiency: (73% at 1800 RPM pulling 18A), and use the gearing to keep the motor running near it's optimum speed. The speed controller can be used for a smooth start and then to adjust the speed if required during the race for tactical reasons.
Efficiency curves for other voltages are not quoted, but one can expect the same sort of shape of curve – at low motor currents efficiency drops off because of brush pressure and other mechanical friction. At high currents motor heating causes high losses.
Cooling the motor will help keep it's efficiency up. Additional heatsinks / fins will help, as will ducting some airflow onto it. PC cooling fans have been used but they take power that could be used for going forwards. Some contestants have powered fans from a PP9 battery.
Most of the heat from a motor is generated in the windings on the armature, the shortest thermal path for this heat to escape along is the motor shaft itself. Fitting a fan blade to the shaft is a common ploy but beware that a high blade pitch fan rotating at 1700 rpm will use a lot of energy in shifting the air. Keep the pitch low and paint it black.
Do I need a speed controller? Before 2018 you could get by without one but a rule change now prevents push starts, so the answer is probably yes. But there are significant benefits in being able to regulate the power smoothly and accurately.
Controller efficiency; Speed controllers are high efficiency devices having efficiency figures in the high 90% area. To be honest, it's the mechanical design of the machine that's important, not the controller. Unless your mechanical design is extremely good, whether the controller is 95% or 98% efficient is not important.
As a comparison, the motor has a resistance of 198 milliOhms – that's when cold, copper resistance increases as the motor heats up. The MOSFETS used in our Porter 5 have a resistance of a mere 4.8 milliOhms, some 40 times less than the motor, so negligible by comparison. But they too, increase their resistance as they heat up, so pay some attention to keeping the controller cool.
Current limiting; We are sometimes asked about limiting the current to maximise battery life. Which current do you wish to limit – current drawn from the battery or current delivered to the motor? Since all the power drawn from the battery is delivered to the motor, motor current is not the same as battery current except at full speed. Full current can be delivered to the motor at low speeds, without drawing high battery current! So limiting battery current has no point. When using a speed controller you simply do not get the initial high surge battery current that happens without a controller. The motor will only draw the current it needs, depending on the mechanical load. Limiting the motor current may mean it cannot draw the current it needs for the acceleration or whatever mechanical load it has at that point. So there is no point in a motor current limit either.
4QD controllers do have a current limit built-in however, but to a current level that is safe for the controller. For the Porter-5 the motor current is limited to approximately 60 amps.
Comparison of controllers suitable for Greenpower cars
|Porter 5
|Porter 10
|Porter 10XX
|Reverse polarity protection [protects against most incorrect installation]
|High pot lockout [an optional safety feature on our other controllers]
|Pot fault protection
|Current limiting [not really useful in Greenpower]
|Adjustable PWM frequency [something for the more technical]
|Water resistance
|Spare control inputs / outputs [allows integration with other control system elements]

Things to Consider Before Making a Green Home
Due to unusual environmental changes, damaging human activities and deterioration of the health of people, more and more people today are becoming conscious about making environment friendly decisions. This awareness has even seeped into the real estate department. The construction and/ or maintenance of buildings cause a lot of pollution in many forms. To be able to sustain a healthy environment for living, people are bending towards using green methods of construction and adopting a sustainable lifestyle.
Before we consider making a green home, we can ask ourselves the following questions, on an individual basis.
1.Do you have shade from big trees on your rooftop?
2.How much sunlight is your roof exposed to?
3.What are the various viable sources of energy available to you, for example, solar energy, geothermal energy, etc?
1.What is the material of the window panel and doors?
2.Do the windows/ doors have a leak?
3.Does the window's glass moderate the room's temperature?
4.How heavy are the curtains that are hanging at the windows?
1.How old is the building material?
2.Is the building material made from environment friendly material?
3.How much can you reuse and/ or recycle at the time of buying new building material?
1.How well insulated is your home?
2.What material has been used to insulate your home?
3.When was the last time that you updated your insulation?
1.What is the color of your roof?
2.What is the material that the roof is made up of?
3.How old is the roof?
1.which fixtures/ equipment such as lights, air conditioner, washing machine, heater, etc, consume maximum energy in your home?
2.Can the fixtures/ equipment that uses a lot of energy be replaced with energy efficient fixtures/ equipment?
Every little detail contributes towards major changes if we all incorporate a conscious and responsible lifestyle. Sustainable living helps us in creating a healthy environment for ourselves, our loved ones and our future generations to come.

Functions can be define as the all the main activities that a business has to go through to be successful or to reach their goals and objectives. It has no end or beginning –because as long as the business continues the functions will be demanded to exist. You can most probably divide all the functions in to six main functions. Let us go through all of them one by one.
Production function is can be where the goods and services are created for the customers. To any company it is all about selling something to give profit. It is combination of ideas, labor, money and other facilities that empower this function. A manager of this function needs to ensure that production of goods happen at the right time and quantity is as it is demanded.
Finance department or function needs no introduction but it has three main responsibilities in a company. Help the company in investments decisions. Financial decisions of the company are made by them. Lastly, decision on dividends paid to stakeholders. Link here http://www.upsidebusinessgroup.com.au/bookkeeping provide a high standard of financial service that can cover all your needs.
You will find Accounting services, bookkeeping services, taxes, financial reporting, etc. as some of the activities of the accounting department. They handle financial service of the whole company. Marketing is the next function. This department understands the customer's needs and wants and compiles it in such a way that with that information all other departments/ functions follow to make their customer's needs. This includes pricing, package designing, so on and so forth. This department is responsible in creating awareness about the product and promoting the products in the market for everyone to know and buy.
The human resource function deals with all the humans in the company which means it is concerned with all the employees and their performances. They are responsible in maintaining, training, motivating employees in other departments. This is done either in groups or individual training. This is done in order make sure that employees work effective in achieving the company goals and objectives.
The last two functions of are the ICT function and innovation. The ICT function is modern day department that handles all ICT related activities of the business. Today we see that all companies have online presence and most of them even have interactive mobile apps to deal with customers. When it comes to certain promotions or events sometimes you need a lot of tech stuff to help promote. Innovation is basically, coming up new creative ideas to improve the value and quality of the existing product. This is basically not only for the products but the whole company overall.

News and views on the latest health issues
Although many people can feel anxious from time to time, people with generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) find that everyday worries have a negative impact on their life.
Mother of three Anna Vaught shares her experience of living with anxiety for 35 years – how she manages it, and balances her mental health with having a successful career and being a parent.
The early symptoms of anxiety
Family members always considered Anna to be a nervous child. At school, she worried about people dying, teachers in particular, and had feelings of extreme panic with palpitations and sweaty palms.
'When I felt extremely anxious, I just wanted to run and hide from everyone for no apparent reason. I would stay awake crying all night.'
These feelings continued during her teenage years. During her GCSE exams, she would have sudden overwhelming feelings of panic, such as heart palpitations and a fear of fainting or being sick.
'I went to see my GP, but simply said I'd been sick so a note could go to the exam board to explain my performance on the paper.'
For parents who are worried about their child during exam season, there are ways to support them through the pressure.
Anna didn't realise her anxiety could be treated, however, and kept it hidden as much as possible from friends and family. 'Because I internalised my feelings of anxiety, I started to self-harm which I thought would bring relief from the overwhelming panic.'
Her anxiety continued at university, and intensified in her first year when her father died, followed by her mother passing away after she graduated.
Seeking treatment for anxiety
It wasn't until her mid-twenties that Anna got the support she needed. She opened up to her GP after a severe episode of depression which co-existed with her anxiety.
She felt relieved when she heard that her feelings of hopelessness and depression were linked to an anxiety disorder. She was offered various treatments, including four different types of anti-depressant medication. None of these worked for Anna; while they help many people, the medication made her sleepy and unable to function well during the day.
Anna also declined Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a treatment that tries to change how you think and behave. 'I didn't feel this was right for me as I would pick apart the therapy straight after receiving it and return to being anxious,' she says.
It was then Anna's doctor suggested CAT (Cognitive Analytic Therapy), a treatment that uses some elements of CBT, while looking at the root causes of the anxiety and behaviour patterns. CAT changed Anna's life – after years of feeling anxious, she finally felt this could help her cope.
Living with anxiety and anxiety attacks
Despite learning to cope, anxiety can still affect Anna at times. For example, she might misinterpret a look from someone and overthink the meaning of this, often for several days.
A critical voice in Anna's head reminds her of an uncomfortable social situation from the past which will shape how she interacts in the present. This can have an impact on her friendships, as she is constantly analysing conversations.
Anna has developed ways of coping with anxiety attacks, however. If she feels overwhelmed by panic, she will imagine her feelings as the "anxiety train". 'I don't boot the train off the track,' says Anna. 'I get running alongside the train and sit with the feeling.'
If you also suffer from anxiety and panic attacks, there are a variety of ways you can manage them.
The ability to manage her anxiety has really empowered Anna. 'There are things in my life I would like to have done but felt held back because of my anxiety,' she says. 'I now feel I can do what I want to do, knowing I have coping mechanisms if I start feeling uncomfortable.'
When she became a mother, Anna recognised the importance of keeping her anxiety under control. She believes it's important to be open with your family if you have or think you might have a mental health problem. Anna talks openly with her husband and three children so that they see mental health can be managed.
Anna's advice for dealing with anxiety
Anna has also written a fictional novel drawing on her experiences with mental health, anxiety and stress Killing Hapless Ally (Patrician Press).

Distributed Replay Recommendations
1. How much additional hard drive space is required on Dreplay Controller machine?
Given the production trace, additional 78% hard drive space is needed to create IRF files on the controller machine
2. What is the ideal trace rollover size used for capturing production and/or performance traces?
200 MB or 512 MB
3. What is the expected Replay Time given captured time of a production trace?
Replay time is approximately 1.55 times the capture time (given that we use one controller, 4 children for replaying the production trace).
4. What is the minimum CPU and RAM requirement for Dreplay controller and client machines
Single Core CPU, 3.5 GB RAM at the very least.
5. What is the size of Performance Trace on Target Server given ProductionTrace?
Assuming that our "published" versions of production and performance trace definition files are used, and the performance trace definition filters the traces out for one database of interest: our experiments have shown that
Performance Trace = 15 * Production Trace (approximately).
Database Experimentation Assistant Tool Recommendations
1. What is the minimum hardware requirement for running the tool?
Single Core 3.5 GB RAM machines
2. What is the ideal hardware requirement for running the tool?
8 Core CPU (with RAM 3.5 GB or higher). More than 8 cores does not help DEA runtimes.
3. What is the recommended hard drive requirement for running the tool?
Additional 33% of performance trace size is needed to store A, B and Analysis databases.
1. Does the tool automation clean up trace files created?
No, the tool does not clean up any trace files in the folders you used on the machines. You are required to manually clean up the files created by tool.
2. What are the error codes shown in the tool?
Errors shown by the tool are of severity >=10. This page explains the severity levels of errors raised by the SQL Server Database Engine. For a complete list of Error Codes, please find detailed error information from the SQL Server technical documentation library. Under this page is the technical documentation for all supported versions of SQL Server.
3. In Analysis report, what does the "indeterminate" queries mean?
Indeterminate queries are classified when we do not have the sample size to perform a statistical analysis on the query. Currently, the tool requires that a query is run at least 30 times on A and B in order for statistical evaluation to be performed.
4. Why are the error counts different between A & B instances?
In certain situations, the trace events may be flushed out of order to the trace file. If the error event (User Error Message) is flushed before the batch starting event (SQL:BatchStarting), the error is not associated to any batch. In this scenario, when the same workload is replayed on A and B instances you might see that the execution count is different for the two runs.
5. What SSDT version should be installed?
For Analysis, SSDT versioning should be same version as the Microsoft SQL Server.
If you have any questions regarding the execution steps outlined in the sections or run into any issues with the tool, please email: firstname.lastname@example.com
