SANTA FE – Four city councilors are proposing city ordinance changes that would allow residential property owners to rent out up to two dwellings on a single lot and not have to live there themselves, essentially permitting two rentals on property zoned for single-family units.
A Santa Fe homeowner currently can rent out an "accessory dwelling" like a casita or guest house, but only if the owner lives in the main house — a provision advocates say protects the single-family character of residential neighborhoods.
There is a caveat in how the proposed changes would allow absentee owners to rent out both a house and an accessory dwelling. The leases for both units would have to be for a minimum of 30 days, discouraging their use as vacation rentals.
Owner-occupants would still be permitted to rent out a casita as a short-term vacation rental.
The proposed changes could impact a long-running dispute between owner-occupants and the absentee owners of a property in the South Capital area who were renting out a main house and a casita. After lobbying by area homeowners, including over parking spaces, the casita renter is facing eviction under a legal ruling from the city.
According to documents prepared by city staff, the intent of the changes is to "open up additional rental housing options without the need for large-scale new developments." It says rental housing in Santa Fe is at a premium and relaxing the restrictions "would create an immediate supply of additional housing options throughout the City."
In addition to allowing casita/guesthouse landlords to live off-property, the proposed changes scale back restrictions on dwelling height, setbacks and living space and allow on-street parking to count toward off-street parking requirements.
Not everyone is happy about the proposal.
Karen Heldmeyer, acting president of the Santa Fe Neighborhood Network, said several concerns were raised at the group's meeting last week, including the lack of opportunities for public input during the process. Other concerns had to do with increased density in already crowded neighborhoods, creating commercial enterprises in residential areas, and another provision of the proposed amendments that allows for second-story additions for accessory dwellings if they don't "exceed the limits established by the building envelope of the principle structure."
"The real fear is that it will exacerbate the short-term rental issue," Heldmeyer said, meaning the proliferation of Airbnbs and other vacation rentals that advocates maintain destroys the residential nature of neighborhoods.
There's also the issue of enforcement. The track record for the Land Use Department in that regard is "horrible," she said.
The proposal was on the agenda for Monday's Public Works Committee meeting but was postponed. Peter Ives, the committee's chairman and one of the bill's sponsors, said he wanted to delay the bill to allow for public input. He said plans to schedule two public listening sessions.
"It's clearly an issue people are concerned about," he said, adding that he's already fielded numerous phone calls from people offering comment.
Asked about the effect of creating two rental residences on a lot zoned for single-family residences, Ives said property owners are already entitled under the existing code to construct a second dwelling. The proposal is currently scheduled to be heard by the Planning Commission on April 4.

Demand for commercial property in the South East is taking a downturn in the lead up to Brexit, according to the world's leading professional body for property.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors reached the conclusion following the 2019 Q2 UK Commercial Market Survey which found that the commercial property industry-notably the retail sector- is facing a sharp decline.
In total 64% of the region's commercial property agents reported a fall in the demand for retail premises in the South East during the second quarter of the year, with the effect being a rise in vacant retail outlets described by 55% of the agents.
The need for office space is also said to have decreased by 17%.
David Martin FRICS of Brighton-based property business Stiles Harold Williams said: "Brexit or the lack of a decision on Brexit is impacting the decision-making process, particularly for SMES. Industrial and office remain strong but retail is proving challenging."
Equally, retail rents are expected to fall over the next three months according to 58% of the survey's respondents. Meanwhile 20% anticipate industrial rents to rise and office rents to remain flat.
And over the next twelve months, prime and secondary retail rents are expected to fall by 3.3% and 4.5% respectively, whilst prime office rents are predicted to rise by 1.9% and remain flat for secondary industrial.
Iain Steele of Surrey-based commercial property agents, Park Steele said: "Small independent retailers continue to acquire the right level of rent. Landlords willing to collaborate with independent tenants will secure lettings.
"The local office market is steady with good demand for freeholds, while the industrial market continues to perform best, particularly freeholds."
In terms of investor demand; fewer respondents reported a fall in the number of enquiries from overseas investors for industrial space during Q2, 2019, but demand from foreign investors for retail space and offices continues to fall.
Further solid growth in capital values across the prime industrial and office sectors is also expected throughout the next year, meanwhile retail capital value projections remain highly negative.
Across the market, 53% of respondents feel the South East market is in some stage of a downturn. The percentage of contributors taking this view is slightly higher in London, at 63%.
RICS Economist, Tarrant Parsons said: "The overall picture remains little changed across the UK Commercial Property Market in Q2, with the disparity between a strong backdrop for the industrial sector and weakness in retail still very evident.
"While expectations continue to point to solid rental and capital value growth in the former, further declines are expected in the latter.
"Brexit uncertainty also remains a notable headwind, causing caution across both occupiers and investors while they await clarity on the UK's future trading relationship with the EU."

I recently wrote about the power of the 10,000 foot view and how it was more helpful than the 30,000 foot view. You can see that here if you missed it.
This post got a larger response than anything I have written in a long time. Must have struck a cord.
We use a process called the Sales Diagnostic to take the 10,000 foot view. It includes the following areas.
- The Numbers
- The Business
- Your Process
- Your Pricing
- Your Metrics
- Your Service
Let's look more closely at one of these: Your Process.
Your Process
- Performance Review Process: What process do you use to review performance of each team member?
- Sales Structure: What structure are you currently using? In what ways is it helping? Is it holding you back in any way?
- Job Roles: Do you have a specific job role for each person on the team? Is there someone who owns every step of the sales process (lead gen, making connections, determining needs, creating solutions, etc.)?
- Ideal Prospect Profile: What characteristics do your best customers share? What process do you have to identify prospects who meet that profile?
- Decision-Making Process: What is the decision-making process for those who make the best prospects for new business?
- Valid Business Reasons (VBR): What valid business reasons are most likely to get the attention of key decision makers? How do you ensure your VBRs are far superior to your competitors?
- Sales Process: What process do you follow to achieve success? How is this reinforced on a regular basis? How is it incorporated into your CRM? Is it used in your onboarding?
- Key Sales Collateral: What questions do prospects most often ask? What collateral do you have to answer those questions?
If you want to get the full list that we use in our Sales Diagnostic, you can download that here. The diagnostic list is powerful, with our help it can improve your performance. We love to make a difference.

The Age of Adaline Review
Not to be confused as an odd spin-off of Age of Ultron, this is a Nicholas Sparksian romantic drama starring Blake Lively as the titular Adaline, a woman born at the turn of the 20th century rendered ageless after a strange accident. She moves from place to place every ten years to escape the painful tangles of relationships until one New Year's Eve when she meets Ellis (Michael Huisman), who complicates her life even further.
Yes, there is a little whiff of the 'woman saved by man' trope, but unlike similar films such as If I Stay (like-minded plot about a young woman cut off from society who finds salvation in the arms of a hunky boyfriend), it's a little more earnest and has none of the vanity or crooning boy-meets-girl vibes you'd expect. The premise (while ridiculous) takes the vampire route, where never aging is a curse rather than a blessing, as you have to watch your loved ones die around you and have to avoid becoming a scientific curiosity. The former issue is very well addressed with Adaline's daughter, who ages before her mother's eyes, given form by Ellen Burstyn somewhat reprising her role from Interstellar with similar emotional impact.
While Lively herself is engaging enough (though her love interest is a bit dull), the real star of the film is Harrison Ford, who has never been better as an old flame of Adaline's from the 1960's who – by a slightly silly plot contrivance – runs into her again in the modern day. For what is ultimately such an inconsequential story, a surprising level of investment is displayed, mostly thanks to Ford's performance, which almost had yours truly reaching for the tissues.
The Age of Adaline does come packaged with a little Benjamin Button-syndrome: the syrupy voiceover is completely unnecessary and, if anything, only serves to muddle the already higgledy-piggledy narrative yet further. And for the scientists among you, get ready to plug your ears and warble very loudly while Hugh Ross's sugared tones explain how it is that our heroine never ages. On the languid running time, just insert your own joke about time stopping for Adaline but dragging for the rest of us, as several critics have already done.
It's clear a lot of people will be put off by the jumbled narrative and lack of explanation for certain aspects of the plot, but The Age of Adaline is a perfectly serviceable and occasionally charming drama with characters who are engaging, vigorous direction, and goes straight from point A to point B without getting too self-important along the way.
Lively and Huisman are left in the dust by an invigorating Ellen Burstyn and a mesmerising Harrison Ford in this piecemeal drama.

Are distractions hijacking your current inner-peace? Are you thinking about what you need to do today, notifications on your phone, or drawn back into the abyss of some time sucking activity online? If so, this article is for you. In fact, University of California professor, Gloria Mark suggests that this is not only a personal issue, but a business issue, costing hundreds of billions of dollars a year in lost productivity. So, whether you're reviewing this article for self-help to improve focus or stumbled upon it and want to see how it could help your firm, read on.
The purpose of this article is to shed some light on mindfulness, multitasking, and steps to increase your focus of being in the NOW.
- Mindful. It isn't a hipster new trend. It is a way of life. Mindfulness is the practice of being in the moment, recognizing and acting upon your thoughts, emotions, and perceptions toward whatever it is that you are experiencing. Mindfulness helps you to tune-out or at the very least for beginner mindfulness practitioners, turn-down those distractions. Imagine being able to truly be and live in the moment. What would that feel like for you? Would you feel more control over you day versus your day controlling you? Would you be able to start and finish a project without thinking about the other ten, no wait, twenty things that you also have to do for the day? Would you able to truly know what you can handle, how you can handle it, and how to use that level of understanding to build an empire of success that fits your abilities versus running amok and hoping you can finish everything?
- Multi-tasking. Your distractions today, could be impacting your future for tomorrow. These distractions can come in many forms, including multitasking. Yes, multitasking could potentially be sabotaging your mindfulness focus, but it can also harm your overall productivity. In fact, Stanford University conducted a research study of participants that we in a traditional setting of distractions, such as emails, social media networking sites, and web browsing to one group of participants. Then in another group, no electronic distractions, and just the assessment in front of them. Participants that were in the multitasking group scored significantly lower than those in the other setting. Illustrating, that in highly saturated distraction environment, getting things done is significantly harder.
- Now. Being in the moment allows you to be you. To truly embrace your ideas, creativity, emotions, and analysis of whatever it is that is in front of you. Whether that is a huge business deal that could impact your career or being hit with your final notice and trying to figure out which direction to go. Mindfulness is a courageous tool to aid you in living in the now. To face the situation. To be at peace with the situation. To create more informed solutions, rather than running from stress of situations, people, or deadlines. Practice focus. Distance your distractions. This may include blocking out time for your project, turning off notifications, scheduling a time when you review your emails, voice-mails, or other communications. Basically, not making yourself readily available to anyone at anytime – you're hurting your productivity, and quite frankly would be undeserving them. Therefore, make the time for each of your tasks, activities, or projects. Set that time. Stick to that time, and while you're there, be there.
You, your clients, team, and management will thank you as your quality of life, projects, and interactions with people will improve.
Great Read that Will Rock Your Focus World…

Fashion designers and the industry have taken significant leaps to utilize social media to connect to users and expand their businesses. There are so many other industries all over the world that have grown their social media practices and customs. Some industries, like the automobile industry, have been using social media before the fashion industry. It is important to learn from other industries.
Many experts, CEO's and PR professionals in the automobile industry have taken the time to note some of the best practices. Numerous professionals in the automobile industry believe that social media is not just a fad and it is something to pay attention to. These practices can certainly be applied to fashion designers new to social media, especially dealing with marketing practices and maintaining conversations.
In an article by Steve Finley, Best Way to Use Social Media, he spoke with the VP of Toyota discussing the changes in their marketing strategy from traditional methods. He notes that social media more than ever is gaining momentum and separation from the traditional marketing message. One of the biggest lessons in this industry is that social media does not accept traditional, one-way marketing approach. Traditions are changing, and they are changing fast.
Josh Cable discussed the importance of the two way conversations with customers in Fueling Auto R&D with Social Media. He says that blogs, discussion boards and forums are a great way to become interactive. He places a great emphasis on the aspect of listening. He quotes Erich Marx from Nissan discussing how different brands are turning their ears on, and are willing to be more open, and learning that through this process they will soon be ahead of the curve.
As Rachel mentions on Skimlinks, Under the Hood- Best Practices for Automotive Blogs and Forums, mentions that it is important to maintain the discussion. Using blogs, discussion forums are key for upholding the discussion. It helps to stay focused and connected with your audience.
Despite how many differences there are between the automotive industry and fashion designers, key elements and practices of social media can benefit both parties. It is important to span the environment to spot potential opportunities for success and lessons to learn.

The good people at The Hollywood Reporter are whispering that FOX is on board for a sequel to its hitting-theaters-now Marvel-product "Deadpool". This is joyous news to Producer/Lead Ryan Reynolds who has been working on a follow up script with writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
"Deadpool tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life…"
Box office predictions have been healthy for "Deadpool", and Fox is assuming the movie going public will show up to see their chatty fourth-wall-breaking vigilante. Lets hope the butts hit the seats over the next few weeks, as Deadpool part deux is rumored to already be in development.

developmental and scholastic assessments
So your child's teacher has recommended your child see a therapist or be formally assessed which can be either a developmental or cognitive (scholastic) assessment. As a parent, this might feel a little scary and overwhelming so here is a short explanation as to what these all entail.
developmental assessment
"Developmental assessment is a process designed to deepen understanding of a child's competencies and resources, and of the caregiving and learning environments most likely to help a child make fullest use of his or her developmental potential" (Greenspan & Meisels, 1996, p. 11).
A developmental assessment is a structured evaluation of a child's total development — gross and fine motor skills, language ability, intellectual ability, and social and emotional functioning.
You can expect that you will answer a host of detailed questions regarding your child's growth and development together with their interactions with the family and the rest of the world. Following this, your child will undergo a standardised test (in this case the Griffiths Mental Development Scales – Extended Revised, aka the Griffie) which involves a lot of play and fun.
The Griffie Scales measure development trends which are significant for intelligence and mental growth in babies and young children (from birth to the developmental age of 8 years). Your child will be presented with certain tasks in order to establish strengths and weaknesses. Following this, a report regarding your child's development together with recommendations will be made available to you.
Assessment for Autism Spectrum Disorder and Asperger's Syndrome is done using the CARS-2 as well as through qualitative interviews and time spent with your child.
Based on the assessment results, recommendations to parents and teachers will be made to ensure your child's wellbeing, together wih family adjustment and wellbeing.
Early intervention is key.
Scholastic assessment
A cognitive assessment is a formal assessment of your child's intelligence and abilities in areas such as language (verbal) skills, memory and speed of processing information, and non-verbal skills. The assessment involves a number of different tasks such as puzzles, answering questions, and remembering certain things.
A child may be referred because of concerns regarding school/academic performance, or to investigate the possibility of the presence of a learning disorder.
Following a detailed intake interview with a child's parents, the professional will conduct standardised tests. After this has taken place, a report will be made available, together with any necessary recommendations.

If you have a particularly stubborn shirt that just doesn't want to stay on its hanger, weblog Real Simple shows us how to keep it stationary with just a few rubber bands.
This is much more of a problem with women's clothes than men's (hence the above image), but I've noticed that even I have a zip-up jacket or two that just falls off the hanger every once in a while for no reason. Instead of trying to wrangle them on the hanger all zipped up, you can just wrap a rubber band around each end of the hanger to keep them on. No more clothes on the floor!

- Category: Harassment Policies
- School: University of Arkansas – Fayetteville
- Statement Rating: Yellow
- Last updated: July 24, 2019
Relevant excerpt
Sexual Harassment is unwelcome, gender-based spoken, written or symbolic action or physical conduct that is sufficiently severe, persistent or pervasive that it has the effect of unreasonably interfering with, limiting or denying someone the ability to participate in or benefit from the University's educational programs. The unwelcome behavior may be based on power differentials, the creation of a hostile environment or retaliation.
Sexual harassment as defined by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and adapted to the academic environment consists of unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct or written communication of a sexual nature, regardless of where such conduct might occur, when: … the conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work or academic performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working or learning environment.
Sexual harassment is often divided into two categories: (1) quid pro quo harassment and (2) harassment resulting from a hostile or abusive environment.
Hostile or abusive environment exists when the workplace or educational environment is permeated by discriminatory intimidation, insults, and ridicule, such as sexual innuendos, uninvited sexual advances, sexually suggestive or discriminatory remarks, sexually suggestive or offensive signs, graffiti, or pictures, the use of sexually crude and vulgar language, etc. The offensive conduct must be sufficiently severe and pervasive that a reasonable person would find the conditions of the working or learning environment to have been adversely affected. The individual must also subjectively perceive the environment to be hostile or abusive. An environment is hostile or abusive can be determined only by looking at all the circumstances, which may include the frequency of the discriminatory conduct; its severity; whether it is physically threatening or humiliating, or a mere offensive utterance; and whether it unreasonably interferes with an employee's work performance or a student's learning.

There are multiple levels to the debate about global warming. The foundation level involves understanding the forces driving climate change, in particular, the extent to which rising temperatures over the past century can be explained by rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere and to what extent they might be attributable to other factors not yet well understood. Embedded in this debate are projections of how precipitously temperatures will rise in the future.
Layered over the causes-of-climate-change debate is the effects-of-climate change debate. What impact will climate change have on the environment and mankind? The prevailing sentiment is that effect of rising temperatures will be universally baleful — there are no redeeming attributes worth discussing and, therefore, something must be done.
That view is reflected in a new paper by the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), "Climate Change and Health in Virginia." From the summary:
Have you noticed that Virginia summers have gotten hotter and stickier? Does it seem like allergy season is more intense? Is your home flooding more often than it used to?
It's not your imagination. Climate change is altering seasonal patterns, making our summers hotter, and fueling increased flooding from coastal storms, like Hurricane Sandy in 2012. As a result, we face more heat-related illnesses, air quality issues, food and water contamination, traumatic injuries, threats to our mental health, and infectious diseases. These threats will only get worse as big polluters continue to pump carbon from coal, oil, and natural gas into the air.
The paper goes on to elaborate several points:
- Extreme heat is bad for Virginians' health — and could become more deadly.
- Coastal floods are getting worse — and could disrupt emergency health services.
- Climate change could contaminate Virginia's drinking water.
- Rising temperatures could make Virginia's seafood dangerous to eat.
- Climate change puts Virginia's progress toward cleaner skies at risk.
- Allergy seasons are getting longer and more severe.
- Mosquito- and tick-borne infections are increasing.
I am confident that some of these concerns are legitimate; as for the others, I don't know. Sea levels are rising, and Hampton Roads is increasingly vulnerable to flooding. Rising water tables in coastal areas could well increase the infiltration of salt water in wells. Warmer waters could well promote the spread of vibriosis, a bacteria that can infect seafood and cause food poisoning in humans. NRDC is not making this stuff up.
But the Council is looking at just one side of the ledger.
Cold kills. The flip side of more extreme heat days is fewer extreme cold days. As it happens, cold kills a lot more people than heat does. According to a 2014 National Health Statistics Report, "During 2006–2010, about 2,000 U.S. residents died each year from weather-related causes of death. About 31% of these deaths were attributed to exposure to excessive natural heat, heat stroke, sun stroke, or all; 63% were attributed to exposure to excessive natural cold, hypothermia, or both." In other words, cold kills twice as many people as heat in the U.S.
Cold viruses thrive in colder temperatures. Studies have found that rhinoviruses thrive in a slight chill, reproducing more quickly at 91.4° F than at normal body temperature. Lower temperatures in the nose also stifle the production of the body's anti-immunity agents. In the words of Yale immunologist Akiko Iwasaki, "these temperature effects can result in an 100-fold difference in the level of cold virus" — enough to turn an asymptomatic viral population into a full-fledged cold.
If I wanted to draw the same kind of health connections as the NRDC, I would argue that pneumonia is a leading killer of the elderly, that pneumonia often results as a complication of catching a cold, and that a warmer climate could reduce the incidence of colds, pneumonia and hospitalization of the elderly.
CO2 promotes plant growth. The NRDC paper notes, "The carbon dioxide driving climate change is also stimulating plant growth," but sees that as a bad thing! Apparently, plant growth boosts pollen pollution and makes allergies worse. But there's a plus side to plant growth. A higher CO2 level helps crops and trees grow faster and makes them more drought resistant. CO2 could be a boon to Virginia's agricultural and forestry productivity. It could mean cheaper locally growth foods and vegetables and better nutrition for all Virginians, including, of course, the poor.
If the only thing you look for are negative effects, then negative effects are all you will find. Years of climate-change research have focused exclusively on the negatives. No scientist wins research grants to study a positive benefit of global warming. I don't pretend to be able to answer whether warmer temperatures are a net positive or negative to mankind. I suspect that a truly dispassionate approach to the matter might well reveal that, while the effects of climate change are a mixed bag, the net result is negative — based mainly on the impact of the rising sea level. But that's only a hunch. We haven't seen a dispassionate approach, so the answer at this time is unknowable.
The NRDC is cherry picking data that fits its case. This particular paper can't be taken seriously. What Virginia needs is a comprehensive and dispassionate look at the evidence.There are currently no comments highlighted.

Please refer to page number 25 in the User Manual.
For continuous mode, we recommend a minimum of 600 mL for a sample. For GC Emulation Mode, the minimum sample volume is 15 mL, but this mode is not as sensitive to low levels of ethylene. The lower detection limit of the F-900 is 40 ppb, or 0.040 ppm when used in Continuous Monitoring Mode. In GC Emulation Mode, the lower detection limit is 0.800 ppm with a range of 0.800 ppm to 20 ppm.
In Continuous monitoring mode, gas enters through the inlet of the device and is drawn in by the pump. The inlet can be free of tubing, in which case it will measure ambient air, or it can be connected by tubing to a chamber or other measurement location or apparatus. In GC Emulation Mode samples are injected into a special port that connects to both the inlet and outlet of the device.
The device will automatically switch between the PPB and PPM level ethylene sensors depending on the measurement level that it is currently reading and the slope of the change in reading. The automatic switching threshold is about 2.5 ppm. Each sensor can also be manually shut off prior to measurement.
There are common, everyday sources of ethylene that can be picked up on by the sensors in your Felix Gas Analyzers. Common sources of ethylene include smoke or exhaust. Furthermore, the ethylene sensors inside of the Felix Gas Analyzers are also sensitive to various volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Various cleaning agents are often a source of VOC readings. If you are inside, it is not uncommon for the ethylene sensors to report readings between 0-0.5ppm of ethylene. If you are outside, drawing clean ambient air (away from traffic, smoke, or other sources of exhaust) it is more typical to see 0.0 ppm readings for ethylene.
The 16GB card provided with the F-9xx gas analyzers technically has indefinite storage capacity as the files can be moved off the card to reopen storage space. However, without moving any files off the card, it can hold up to ~60 million measurements from a F-9xx analyzer. If the instrument is saving data every minute that equates to ~40,000 days of measurement before the SD card is full.
I don't feel that my F-9xx Gas Analyzer is reading accurately, what should I do?
When communicating with support it is helpful to provide:
If your analyzer is less than three months old, see the two options below:
Perform a set zero calibration on the sensors using the external conditioning chamber filled with potassium permanganate for the ethylene sensor and the external conditioning chamber filled with soda lime for the CO2 sensor. Use the O2 calibration in air menu option to calibrate the O2 sensor using ambient air. Only use the O2 set zero setting if you are using 100% nitrogen gas.
Please see the user manual for more details.
If your analyzer is over three months old, see options below:
If your instrument is over three months of age, inaccurate sensor readings could indicate a need for calibration. You can try a baseline calibration (or set zero) of the sensors first and if this does not bring the readings into spec, then perform a full calibration.
Please see 'How Do I Calibrate the Instrument?' FAQ for more details.
Note: Due to limitations of Microsoft Translate, manuals greater than 50 pages in length currently do not support dynamic translation.
First, we need to set the internal volume of the unit in accordance to which sensors are present.
Next, we will calibrate the unit using the following formula:
Calibrated Volume = (Sample concentration * Sample volume) / GC Emulation Result
**Please note that it is absolutely imperative that the analyzer have all sensors properly calibrated before continuing.**
The temperature and relative humidity sensor is located inside the F-900, before the electrochemical sensor. There is an additional relative humidity sensor after the ethylene sensor to help track water loss.
1-MCP is short for 1-Methylcyclopropene. This is a synthetic plant growth regulator, which is structurally related to ethylene (natural plant hormone). When applied to fruit, 1-MCP binds to ethylene receptors without triggering the signal cascade that leads to climacteric ethylene biosynthesis and ripening. Commercially, it is used to slow down the ripening of fruit and to maintain the freshness of cut flowers. The chemical formula is C4H6.
The unit has an SD card and the format can be read on any Mac or PC. Data can also be downloaded via USB. The F-900 Controller software is used when connecting to a PC to view real-time data.
Both are portable, but the research kit includes the other components shown on the website, such as the fruit chamber and wand and hard-sided carrying case. The Research Kit is designed to make measurement of fruits on a tree (non-destructively) more convenient. A fan is built into the chamber to mix the air around the fruit.
If data isn't displaying properly, try saving the file as a .csv file type and re-opening it. If saving as a .csv does not fix how the data is displayed, you may need to change the separator value on your computer.
To change the separator in all .csv text files:
NOTE: After you change the list separator character for your computer, all programs use the new character as a list separator. You can change the character back to the default character by following the same procedure.
There is a protective hydrophobic filter inside the IN port on the front of the F-900. This will prevent moisture from fully entering the instrument. Silica gel in a conditioning chamber can be used to dry out the gas stream, either before or after the gas passes the electrochemical sensor. Refer to the flow path diagram in the Setup>Chamber section of the User Manual for more information.
Climacteric fruits refer to fruits that have high respiration rate during the fruit's ripening. During the ripening process of climacteric fruits, the production of a phytohormone, ethylene, dramatically increases up to 1000-fold of the basal ethylene level. Climacteric fruits are ones that are able to ripen after being picked. An example of climacteric fruit is bananas; they are picked and shipped green and then ripen at a later time (often in the store or home). Climacteric fruits include, but are not limited to, apples, apricots, avocados, bananas, cantaloupes, figs, guavas, kiwis, mangoes, nectarines, peaches, pears, persimmons, plums, and tomatoes. [Source: Wikepedia.com]
To start using the F-900, you need to create a file to save data into. Go to File<Create. Change the file00 to the desired file-name and press save. Next, open the file to save measurements. Go to File<Open and use the arrows to highlight the newly created file. If the value next to the file-name is a negative number, this indicates an error. You should delete the file and create it again. Then, open it and check that the value is zero. Now, you can save data into this file.
Several types of material have been found to outgas interfering gases of the ethylene sensor, such as Tygon. Viton and Teflon have successfully been found to not outgas.
Both chambers are optional, but it is recommended to use Chamber In as PolarCept for most measurements. The most common use for Chamber In is to separate light hydrocarbons, such as alcohol, from the gas stream which may interfere with the measurement. The most common use for Chamber Out is to be filled with potassium permanganate, so that it cleans all ethylene and other hydrocarbons from the gas stream, so that any ethylene that is measured must have come from the sample. Chamber OUT is also commonly used with KMnO4 to calibrate the zero of the ethylene sensors.

International Missions
Your donations helped educate and train 1,900 Islamic missionaries; provided 200,000 faith-based materials; supported 2,500 new Muslims and enabled the Prophetic Mission to expand to 55 countries across the world!
Local Missions
We run weekly missions in London, and monthly throughout major cities in the UK.
Training is delivered on every mission to motivate the local Muslim community to engage and convey the message of Islam.
Every mission reaches out to around 600-1000 people locally. Over the last year, these local missions have been responsible for communicating Islam to over 52,000 people. On average, 480 people are embracing Islam as new Muslims every year!
Our 'Who Do You Love?' campaign has been very successful in engaging Londoners, and raising awareness about why Muslims love and respect the Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him). Dozens of people have decided to embrace Islam as a result of conversations initiated by a simple question – who do you love?
New Muslim Support
Our new Muslim development programme has helped over 2,500 reverts learn, understand and settle into Islam.
Last year, on average 40 reverts registered for our new Muslims development programme every month, which equates to 480 new Muslims annually.
Our new Muslims development programme is amongst the most important work that we do at iERA.
Dawah Materials
Over 5,000,000 cards, flyers and books have been distributed to non-Muslims to inform and educate them about Islam. These materials have been written and designed by iERA in a style and language that is easy to understand.
This year we have researched and published our first book, The Eternal Challenge and are in the process of publishing more books which address arguments against Islam from an academic and philosophical level.
All of our materials are provided free of charge, and we are currently working collaboratively with over 500 individuals and organisations across the UK to promote a better understanding of Islam.
Online Education & Training
Last year, to support the online dawah movement, we produced a range of articles and essays on themes around science, rationality, evolution, and tawheed – 'How do we know God is One?'
We also delivered training on how to convey the message of Islam to more than 2,500 people across six continents.
Community Work
Last year, we rolled out a number of national and international campaigns focused on empowering local Muslim communities to engage in social projects. These campaigns included:
'Don't Hate, Debate!'
Thousands of people have attended our 'Don't Hate, Debate!' LIVE events, with more than half a million views online!
Guest Panelists have included:
- Peter Oborne (The Daily Mail and The Spectator)
- Dan Hodges (The Telegraph)
- Professor Peter Cave (British Humanist Association)
- Peter Tatchell (Peter Tatchell Foundation)
- Tom Holland (Historian)
More than 7,000 essays around the debate topics have been printed and distributed.

Following on from our September newsletter, which focused on the concept of property investment, we now look at a few of its pros and cons. These should be weighed up carefully, before a potential investor takes the leap…
A thriving property portfolio will increase an individual's net worth and income. This income could be used to partly or fully cover the bond of the property and pay expenses.
Owners can claim for expenses incurred against a property, when they file their annual tax return with the South African Revenue Services. SARS allows tax deductions against, for example: bank charges; interest on a bond; repairs in respect of the area let; security and levies; rates and taxes; homeowners' insurance (although not for household contents); advertisements; garden services; and the fees/commission of the managing agent.
Borrowing for investment is called gearing, which is one of property's biggest benefits. It is the ratio between your debt and capital, and allows you to put the bank's money to work for you – giving you access to an asset worth far more than you could have afforded on your own. Note: gearing magnifies your returns, but it could also magnify any losses should market conditions turn against you.
Those who like to be in control of their investments may find themselves investing in property. You have direct line of sight of a property, and so can see how it appears to others and how the area in which it is based works in its favour (or otherwise). You are able to make choices according to what you see – such as sell or wait, upgrade or leave as is, peg the rental or advertise for a higher-paying tenant – rather than having your destiny tied to something intangible, in the way of shares, boardroom negotiations to which you aren't a party and/or the nervous decisions of corporate CEOs.
The returns on a sound property investment will tend to keep track with inflation, especially if you've done your homework when purchasing the property (market analysis, location, rental demand etc.).
Each segment of the property market has its own dynamics, so it takes significant intelligence to invest successfully across them. Those who become niche experts can outperform the market if they buy wisely; they may 'see' bargains that others might not, which are made clearer through regular research, a detailed examination of market trends and economic projections, and even appropriate networking.
Of course, in an economic downturn or if decisions are made poorly or in haste, many disadvantages could come to the fore – including interest-rate fluctuations over which an owner unfortunately has no control.
Property is illiquid. Unlike other investments that can be traded, sold or converted into cash post-haste, property can't be moved if an area goes downhill (e.g. a criminal element moves in) or changes significantly (e.g. your business no longer fits in there).
Property is management-intensive so ask yourself if you have the time to manage your portfolio, or whether you should hire someone to do this for you. Remember, an agent will take up to a 10 percent cut of any buy-to-let earnings; plus a month's rental to find a tenant. As the owner, you will still need to devote time to managing the manager.
Additionally, owners are expected to fork out for maintenance. Owners will also need to budget for any improvements that will keep the investment appealing.
Unlike other investment sectors, there has been an historical shortage of detailed information on residential property investment. Fortunately, however, this situation is changing due to the work of companies like Lightstone Property. Their house price indices are based on globally accepted statistical principles, using data collated from official sources; these can be used in real estate deals to make sound investment decisions.
And then, of course, legislation favours tenants over residential owners. Should a tenant default on their rental and refuse to leave, an owner cannot simply change the locks. A relatively lengthy legal process must be followed, involving lawyers' costs and lost income for the owner, before they will once again have possession of their investment so as to be able to fix it up for the next tenant.
As is evident from the above, there are many more aspects to consider in an investment made in property than may at first meet the eye, especially for a newbie to this sector.
At YDL, we take care of property investment for our clients. Call me today on 011 465 3756 or email firstname.lastname@example.com to find a property investment solution that works for you.
Warm regards,

Dolan Media Newswires
Michigan judges should get a 3 percent raise in 2015, decided the State Officers Compensation Commission.
That's a turnaround from earlier discussions centered on 3 percent in 2015 and another 3 percent in 2016 and potentially requesting as much as 5 percent.
Commissioner David Fink, a Bloomfield Hills attorney, had been pushing for two 3 percent increases, and had some discussions about asking for as much as 5 percent.
Commissioner James ''Mick'' Middaugh, a former member of the Michigan House of Representatives, proposed only 3 percent in 2015 and to revisit the issue in two years.
Fink proposed to amend to include the additional 3 percent for 2016, but was voted down 5-4.
He reminded the panel that with the rate of inflation, the cost of living has increased nearly 30 percent since the last raise, noting that nonelected state employees have seen increases of more than 25 percent.
"It was a step in the right direction and fair," Middaugh told Michigan Lawyers Weekly after the meeting. "The 3 percent doesn't even it out, but it's a step in the right direction."
He noted that two years ago, the commission had suggested two 3 percent pay increases and that the Michigan Supreme Court, the State Bar of Michigan and all three judicial associations said, "No, thanks."
"They had an opportunity two years ago and did not take advantage..." Middaugh said.
The vote is technically a raise to the Supreme Court justices, but all other judge salaries are tied to the justices. So, if approved, all Michigan judges would get 3 percent raises in 2015.
About 600 judges would be affected, and the cost of a 3 percent raise is about $2.5 million per year.
"I'm satisfied because I think it has the possibility of acceptance by the Legislature," said SOCC Chairman Larry Meyer, former president of the Michigan Retailers Association. "It certainly will be reviewed in two years."
The SOCC also oversees compensation for the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general and legislators. They were contacted, Meyer said, and none of those have requested pay increases.
Had the Legislature been asked to approve the 6 percent, some on the panel said they thought the legislature would balk, and the whole request would be turned down. Any increase has to be approved by concurrent resolution adopted by a majority in each house.
"We're glad to have received a recommendation for a raise, and we're hoping this will be approved by the Legislature," State Court Administrator Chad Schmucker told MiLW. "The fiscal crisis is not over yet in Michigan, and you can't be overconfident on any expenditure item."
"We believe that 13 years is a long time to wait for a raise, and this is a fairly modest raise, given that time period, and we're hoping it's well received by the Legislature."
Fink reminded the panel that the Legislature has the ability to decrease the amount, and noted that if it's not requested, the lgislature has nothing to work with if they want to modify a proposal.
"I do think that a couple of them voted that way because they believe the single [3 percent] pay increase was more likely to make it through,'' Fink said. ''I felt that if the increase were too high, the legislature has the authority to lower the compensation--they don't have the ability to raise it."
Schmucker pointed out that since Michigan's last judicial raise, there have been 250 raises in the other states--all states had raises, except Michigan.
"A handful have had one or two, but the average is five raises,'' Schmucker said. ''They may be small, but it tells you a good working compensation system has [incremental increases]. I think this gets us back on track to getting regular small raises rather than a big [time] gap and trying to make it up."
Michigan Supreme Court justices earn $164,610; Court of Appeals judges make $151,441; circuit and probate judges make $139,919; and district court judges earn $138,272.

Have a Blast at Fort Concho
The Fort Concho Living History Program will fire mortars on the hour from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 13.
The demonstration will be on the fort's Parade Ground, 630 S. Oakes St.
Standard artillery fires projectiles at distances of a mile or more. A mortar fires its shell at a high elevation. That allows the Army to reach a target that standard cannons and howitzers cannot. The blank charges fired Saturday will reflect the use of a mortar in a battle situation.
There is no charge to watch the demonstrations. Regular admission of $1.50 to $3 will give visitors access to the fort's 10 buildings and displays.
For more information, call Fort Concho at 325-657-4444.

Company sees significant increase in milling capacity leading to marked financial improvement at Golden Ridge
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Oct. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — RiceBran Technologies (RIBT), a global leader in the production and marketing of value-added products derived from rice bran, and a producer of rice, rice co-product, and barley and oat products, announced today that the Company has reached a significant milestone in debottlenecking its Golden Ridge Rice Mills operation in Arkansas ("Golden Ridge").
In late September, the Company completed the installation of certain new processing, milling, and grading equipment designed to achieve a significant increase milling volume per hour while producing a higher yield of more valuable milled products. This is expected to result in a substantial increase in revenue, better absorption of fixed costs, and higher margins. The Company also expects to achieve further improvement in milling capacity with the installation of two additional pieces of production equipment slated for October.
"We are pleased with the progress made since we reinitiated operations on Thursday, September 26 after the two week installation process for this new equipment," said Brent R. Rystrom, President and CEO of RiceBran Technologies. "While we are still early in our operational ramp, our production volumes are up multi-fold from where we have been the last several months, quality is much improved, and we are experiencing a sharp enhancement in our product grading capabilities. All of this should lead to significantly higher sales, better cost absorption, as well as much improved margins and EBITDA at both Golden Ridge and RiceBran Technologies."

Jesus Is The Reason For Every Day Of Our Life
Ephesians 1:7
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace.
I'm taking a break from Advent and Christmas today – sort of – and focusing in on Good Friday in a way. Today I want to celebrate what Christmas is all about – the coming of Christ – the One who sacrificed His life for us. Not so much that He came – so very important – but why He came. He didn't come to be a baby in a manger – He came to be the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world. He came to die for our sins – to pay the debt of our sin – for our redemption.
We have all sinned and all stand in need of redemption – Romans 3:23-24 – 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
We all need a Savior. Here's today's passage in partial context. Ephesians 1:3–10 – 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, 9 he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
Remember – none of this would be possible without Christmas. Our redemption – our salvation – is because the Word became flesh – John 1:14 – The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Remember that Jesus is not only the reason for the season – He is the reason for every day of our life! Here's hoping that we all seek His face and desire His grace this Christmas season.
Just something to think about today as you go on your way.

This information is contained in the just-released 2013 Mediafacts, a key media resource for marketing professionals in West and Central Africa produced annually by MediareachOMD, a specialist media company that provides media planning, buying, control and inventory management services.
According to Mediafacts, "due to new publication launches and increased brand activities in print media, the spends in the print media increased more than 100 percent and thereby set a new record for the sector. In the past 10 years, the highest revenue the print media had from advertisers before now was in 2010 when advertising spend was N16.5 billion.
However, "Print medium was largely used only in Lagos and a marginal 1% spend in the Northern region." the report said.
Also, quarterly analysis of the total print advertising expenditure, shows that though there is almost an equal dispersion of spend across the four quarters, there is a marginal skew in spend in the second quarter with a total value of N5.1 billion. The first, third and fourth quarters attracted advertising values of N4.2 billion, N4.5 billion and N4.6 billion; respectively.
Further, the 2013 mediafacts further revealed that the growth in the print media spend, was primarily driven by the personal paid, corporate, banking and finance, telecommunications, education, hotel, public service, motor vehicles, lager and handsets adverts.
According to the Report, Globacom, Transcorp Hilton Hotel, MTN, Guaranty Trust Bank, Etisalat, Guinness Stout, Airtel, Diamond Bank, Zenith Bank and Skye Bank are the top 10 big advertising spenders in the year under review.
According to Mr. Tolu Ogunkoya, Managing Director/CEO of MediareachOMD, "besides the in-depth coverage of Nigeria and Ghana's media markets, this latest edition of mediafacts provides deeper insight into the Cameroonian market. Media practitioners in the West and Central African regions, and companies making inroads into the markets in these regions would find this publication useful".

Mountain Woman of my Dreams
Perfection! Shipped the same day I ordered and it fits like a charm.
Perfect Cropped Tee
So cozy and soft. It's my new favorite crop (and I have *a lot* of crops).
So cute and so soft!
Got this as a gift for a friend, very excited to give to her! Love the fabric.
So soft and shipped super fast!
Love this tee! The crop is just right, not too short.
Super soft, great quality, shrinks a bit
Love the design of this shirt so much! It's super soft and very comfortable. Only thing I'd say is that it definitely shrunk a bit in the dryer and is now a little shorter/boxier than I'd prefer, but not enough to make me stop wearing it. I've received a lot of compliments in it!

Tomorrow is Friday, the last school day before Halloween. I was hoping to rally the troops and get teachers to dress up tomorrow for school. I have my "Lutheran bishop" costume ready. Amy said she'd be willing. She's got an "80's teenager" outfit ready to go. Kristin said she'd wear her "Alice in Wonderland" outfit, if others were going to dress up.
But that's about as far as I got, as far as willing to dress up goes.
Too many people were scared about what the principal would say. Come on! What could she say? Even if she didn't like it, how mad could she get. She's not going to write us all up, or send us all home, or something. Worse case, she calls us into the conference room and tells us not to do it again.
Totally worth it!
I'm disappointed in my fellow teachers. Come on, take a chance. Live a little! It's not like we're all going to be dressing indecently. It's just a costume.
Oh well, maybe next year.

Hi again, I was the Stage Manager for Best Little Whorehouse in Texas for a local community theatre out in Long Island, N.Y. We had a large and talented cast and went through 2 months of intense rehearsals heading toward a 5 wk. run. The first two weekends went over without a hitch. Everything fell into place and we had sold out audiences. Well, week three...we come into the theatre about 2 hours before the show was to go up on a Friday night. We all started noticing little flies flying around. Well, it was Summer and we really didn't think too much of it. The show starts, and all that the cast sees from the stage are people in the audience fanning themselves (or so we thought). We thought that maybe it was too hot in the theatre but quickly realized that they were fanning away FLIES!! Fruit flies to be exact. As the singers on stage were in the midst of their numbers, flies were going into their mouths. You cannot believe what went on. The show was scheduled to be video taped that evening and when the videographer got the tape ready, he made a section at the end, of outtakes of flies going into the actor's mouths, the audience fanning themselves...it was priceless. Anyway, back to the show. When we finished the show, we apologized to the audience and went furiously around the theatre trying to find out where the flies were coming from Low and behold, we found, in the corner of the dressing room, a bag of half eaten bananas that must have been there for weeks. How gross was that? We immediately got rid of the bag, and started to spray the theatre. The next day, Saturday, I was first to open the theatre. It looked like the problem was solved. The first actor to walk into the theatre (who by the way was the sweetest and calmest gentlemen) quickly ran up to me, pointed his finger angrily at me and said, "If I see one fly...I'm OUTTA HERE!!." Anyway, I had wanted to make an announcement that since this was a "Texas Ranch", we wanted to create a realistic atmosphere (and flies were the natural way to go!
