Malawi: A Home for Hope
Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world and recently its economic development has again stagnated. Furthermore, despite the launch of a programme to tackle HIV/AIDS in 2004 the country remains one of the worst-hit by the disease, with more than one million children having been orphaned by it. In Malawi, children are particularly vulnerable; many lack access to healthcare, support and education, and roughly one in four have been subject to child labour. Addressing the problems that face Malawi's children requires the collective effort of whole communities.
Working tirelessly to see this collective effort come about, our NGO partners in Malawi are coordinating a number of projects that seek to specifically aid and assist in the protection of the country's children. Through the last shipment we sent to them, our partners have achieved some wonderful things; this included the supply of educational materials to schools, which saw local examination pass rates increase from 49% to 98%. Our second shipment will build on the success of the first, allowing the consolidation of our partners' many worthwhile projects.
Included in the shipment will be wheelchairs to give mobility to disabled children, sewing supplies to provide the opportunity of work to women and their families, and IT supplies to allow for the modernisation of our partners services. Through these goods our partners will ensure the long-term improvement of many people's lives throughout the region.
CHILEMBWE SCHOOL
"Children at Chilembwe School were among the poorest in Malawi. Many lived in poverty and had to walk to school with torn clothes. The first shipment from Crossroads helped us to reach out to them and show them love. This has encouraged them to attend school and to build their sense of worth"
"Children were able to take mock-exams for the first time because of the two printers Chilembwe received and we believe that the impacts will last a lifetime"
– Statements from our NGO Partners Shipments
ZAIDA'S STORY
Zaida had never been able to attend school because of her difficulties with mobility. Fortunately she was one of the many beneficiaries whose lives were transformed goods from Crossroads' last shipment to these partners.
With the goods in the upcoming shipmnet, and the continued efforts of our partners, many more children like Zaida will be able to fulfil their potential and enjoy the lives they deserve.
Beneficiaries of our partners' sport project pose for a celebratory photo. This project was established to use sport and education as tools in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
Children enjoy the distribution of new shoes. Many children who live in poverty have suffered without adequate footwear for years, through the work of our partners they have had this basic need met for the first time.
Capital: Lilongwe
Population below international poverty line of US$1.25 per day: 61.6%
Malawi is a largely agricultural country that has suffered decades of underdevelopment. It is one of the regions worst affected by the impact of HIV/AIDS, with tens of thousands of lives being lost annually.
The reliance of most Malawi's population on subsistence farming also means that the country's food supply is at risk from climate change and poor harvests.

Tucson Diversion Channel/Country Club Road: A four-way stop has been installed at the site entrance to Kino South Sports Complex construction site (off of Benson Hwy.) and The Loop intersection, effective October 25, 2018. The stop will be in effect until the end of construction, estimated at January 2020. This is part of the first phase of the Kino South Sport Complex improvements, which will include 12 multi-use lighted turf fields; 20 lighted pickle ball courts; concession buildings; parking; restrooms; main access from Benson Highway; maintenance facilities and other items. Thanks for your cooperation in adhering to these travel conditions.
Irvington Road: Tucson Electric Power will be doing some maintenance work on the east bank of the Santa Cruz at Irvington April 11-30 that will close the path for about a half mile north of Irvington. TEP will have flaggers and signage to guide users. Some work also is taking place on the west bank, but will not necessitate a closure. The path will be open on weekends.
Paseo de las Iglesias: Tucson Electric Power will be replacing a transmission structure along the Santa Cruz River Park (Paseo de las Iglesias) north of Ajo Way April 15-May 3. Path users may detour using Cottonwood Lane. The path will be open on weekends.
Silverlake Road: The northeast Silverlake entry to the Santa Cruz River Park is closed for construction of the Heritage Project through the middle of June. The closure runs along the east trail on the soft path ONLY from Silverlake Road north to approximately 26th St. The entrance from Silverlake, at grade, onto the asphalt, also is closed. The main asphalt trail remains open for access under Silverlake Road, to both the north and the south.
Grant Road: Beginning April 22, the west bank of the Santa Cruz River Park between Grant Road and El Camino Del Cerro will be closed until the end of June. The closure will allow the Pima County Regional Flood Control District and Borderland Construction to begin removing sediment from the bed of the Santa Cruz River channel between Cushing Street and Speedway Boulevard for transport to Meander Bend. The work takes place weekdays from 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The east bank will remain open and both paths will be open on weekends.
Starr Pass: The Pima County Regional Flood Control District will be removing sediment in the Santa Cruz River channel between Silverlake Road and Cushing Street beginning Jan. 8, with work lasting for about two months. Removing approximately 150,000 cubic yards of sediment will increase capacity of that stretch of the Santa Cruz. The Loop will close between the Mission Lane Crossing and Starr Pass Boulevard on the west bank of the river on weekdays for the duration of the project to accommodate trucks used to remove sediment and debris from the project site. The path will open on weekends.
Ajo Way: The Arizona Department of Transportation will be reconstructing the Ajo Way Bridge over the Santa Cruz River. This bridge removal and replacement project will cause a long-term closure of the Chuck Huckelberry Loop (west bank) underpass at that location beginning October 30, 2018. There is not an existing east bank underpass at this location. ADOT project managers estimate the closure will run through December 2019. Crews will use the area to stage equipment and materials for the bridge project. Once complete, the new bridge will re-establish the existing west bank underpass and will also make room for construction of a new underpass on the east bank of the Santa Cruz which will allow the Pima County Regional Flood Control District to extend the shared-use path on the east side between the Julian Wash and Valencia Road.
Ina Road: The Arizona Department of Transportation project to construct a bridge over I-10 and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks at Ina Road will close The Loop south of Ina Road at Ted Walker Road and north of Ina Road at the Crossroads at Silverbell District Park until approximately early 2019. Once the bridge project is completed, there will be Loop trail underpasses on each side of the Santa Cruz River, new access ramps to Ina Road and new bike lanes and sidewalks along Ina Road.

Home » Moisture Meters » Wood Division Knowledge Base » Building Inspection » Building Inspectors Brace for Anticipated El Niño Flooding
Meteorologists forecast a massive El Niño weather system will hit California later this year, extending through the Southwest to the Carolinas and parts of the East Coast.
This may seem like welcome news for California, especially as it suffers through its worst drought in a millennium, but state emergency officials worry that heavy rains will do more than relieve drought-stricken areas. It will also bring floods, mudslides, and debris flows from forests stripped bare from drought-fueled blazes.
And while El Niño has yet to have an effect on the Carolinas, exceptional flooding already ravaged South Carolina the first week of October. Considered one of the worst flooding events in U.S. history and partially blamed on tropical moisture from Hurricane Joaquin, it left more than half of the state underwater.
The damage floods cause can be devastating. Television news reports and newspaper photographs depict stark images of flood destruction – destroyed homes and buildings, flooded cars, damaged possessions and decimated roadways. Meanwhile, essential services such as power, water, sewage, and gas services may not be working for days or, in some cases, even weeks.
And when flood waters recede, residents face still more dangers – floodwaters contaminated with sewage and chemicals as well as gas leaks and live power lines. Homeowners and commercial property owners also face the stress and expense of disaster recovery. And those expenses can go even higher when insurance policies do not include flood protection.
Increased Workload for Building Inspectors?
Should a powerful El Niño lead to widespread flooding, professional building inspectors may be called out in greater numbers to assess the amount of damage. With flooding, as with any natural disaster, there are health risks that threaten not only property owners but inspectors as well.
In this special report, we'll take a look at some of the inherent risks inspectors may face, and the precautions they must take to prevent bodily harm. We'll also look at an essential tool all inspectors must have on hand during their inspection of flooded properties.
Water Source Identification
There are three categories of flood water building inspectors should be aware of:
Category 1 (Clean Water)
Category 1 water is caused by broken water lines, malfunctioning appliances, broken toilet tanks (supply water), tub or sink overflows, snow, rainwater, and melting ice. This type of flooding poses no health risks because it normally contains no measurable contaminants. But that may change quickly. Clean water can pick up contaminants as it moves through structures and therefore advances to Category 2 water.
Category 2 (Gray Water)
Category 2 water comes from dishwashers, washing machines, sinks, showers, broken aquariums, and waterbeds. It can be hazardous and pose health risks because it can contain significant levels of chemical and biological contaminants. Exposed to the open environment, gray water can progress to Category 3 water in only 48 hours as biological activity begins.
Category 3 (Black Water)
Category 3 water can come from any type of sewage, toilet backflows, rising water from rivers or streams, and ground surface water. Black-water poses the greatest health risks because it can contain sewage as well as other forms of bio-effluence, environmental contaminants, pesticides, heavy metals, toxic organic and inorganic chemicals, and more. More than 120 different viruses, parasitic agents (such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium), and bacterial organisms (such as Salmonella, Escherichia coli, and Enterobacter) can be found in Category 3 Black Water.
When cleared to enter a home or building that's been flooded with gray or black water, avoid skin contact with anything that has been touched by the contaminated water. Keep all cuts and sores clean and covered, and all soiled objects away from your mouth, eyes, and nose.
If not handled properly, exposure to gray and black water can cause allergic reactions and infectious diseases, including gastroenteritis, respiratory and eye infections, and inflammation of the liver.
Inspections after Flooding
Floods can cause hidden dangers that make them unsafe. Inspectors, therefore, should exercise extreme caution when inspecting flood-damaged buildings.
Hazards can occur from one or more risks:
Electric shock hazards
Toxic sludge and materials containing waterborne bacteria
Fire and explosions caused by natural gas or bottled gas
Structural collapse
Trip-and-fall injuries
Septic tank collapse
Extensive toxic mold colonies
When Conducting an Inspection
Wear rubber gloves and goggles to protect your hands and eyes from splashing water as well as moldy or contaminated materials. Wash your hands thoroughly with a disinfectant soap if you've handled contaminated articles with bare hands.
Wear water-resistant clothing, preferably coveralls, to protect your legs from sharp objects as well as contact with mold and other contaminants.
Wear sturdy, protective footwear with proper treads. The most common injury after a disaster is cut feet. Floors may be littered with broken bottles, nails, and other dangerous debris.
In the event that you detect extensive mold, have an HEPA-rated respirator handy. If you are asthmatic or susceptible to mold exposure, leave the building.
Look out for Wildlife
Watch for possible wildlife, especially poisonous snakes, which may have been washed into the building during the flood. Flood waters attract wildlife such as rats, raccoons, even dogs and cats that are likely to be frightened and defensive. Use a stick to poke through debris to check for dangerous critters.
Be Wary of Insects
Use an effective insect repellent on exposed skin areas and vigilantly reapply often. Flooding can attract mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks which can carry spread disease, such as encephalitis and West Nile virus. Repellents containing DEET (Diethyltoluamide) should have concentrations less than 20%.
Fire ants are another hazard, especially in the South. When fire ant colonies are flooded out, the entire colony — numbering in the thousands — will ball together and float on the surface of the water. Most times, this floating mass of ants looks like just another piece of flotsam or junk floating on the water. But if you bump into this floating colony, the ants will instantly seek higher ground (you). And when they discover their resting place is alive, they can deliver hundreds of potentially fatal stings.
Inspect the building exterior for downed power lines and gas leaks. Gas leaks will smell like rotten eggs. If you suspect a gas leak, contact the utility company immediately and do not attempt to find the leak or enter the building.
Inspect the foundation for signs of cracks and other structural damage, such as leaning, bulging, or bowing foundations that may render the building uninhabitable or in danger of sudden collapse.
Inside a Building
Don't work alone, if possible. If you get injured, it might take a long time before you're helped.
If you do work alone, be sure to have a cell phone handy to call for help, if needed.
Check to see if the door sticks at the top. If so, this could be a sign of a ceiling ready to collapse. Open the door, then stand outside the doorway to see if there's any falling debris.
Check for potential collapse inside a building by examining doors, walls, windows, floors, and staircases. Inspect for loose plaster, drywall, and ceilings that may collapse.
Use caution while inspecting crawlspaces. You may encounter a significant mold presence, sewage, asbestos, chemicals, rodents, and the risk of structural collapse.
Inspect for sewage and water supply line damage. If you suspect sewage lines have been damaged, avoid using the toilets and instruct the client to call a plumber. If water pipes are damaged, instruct the client to contact the water utility company and avoid operating the tap.
Mold Warning
If extensive mold is visible, wear an HEPA-rated respirator during the initial walk-through. Persons who are asthmatic, or otherwise at particular risk, should stay out of the building.
Gas Leaks & Explosion Hazards
Check for gas leaks inside the home. If you smell gas or hear a blowing or hissing noise, open a window and immediately leave the building. If possible, turn off the gas at the outside main valve. If not, call the gas company.
Once the gas is turned off for whatever reason, a professional must turn it back on. Never use an open flame inside of a flood-damaged building unless you know the gas has been turned off and the building is ventilated.
To inspect for damage, use a battery-powered lantern, flashlight, or the flashlight app on your cell phone, not an open flame or electrical fixture in the building.
Inspect for fire hazards, such as broken or leaking gas lines, flooded electrical circuits and submerged furnaces and electrical appliances. Flammable and explosive materials may travel from upstream. Ironically, fire is the most frequent hazard in homes following floods.
Inspect for electrical system damage, such as broken or frayed wires, and burned insulation. If you need to get to a fuse box or circuit breaker, don't step in water. Call an electrician first for advice. Electrical equipment should be inspected by a qualified professional and dried before returning to service.
Do not use appliances that may have gotten wet unless you know they've been dismantled, cleaned, and dried.
Report broken electric, gas, sewer, or water lines to authorities so the utilities can be turned off.
Determining the extent of moisture intrusion and migration requires the use of moisture detection equipment. One of the best tools for detecting hidden excess moisture either inside or outside of a building is the moisture meter.
Using a moisture meter enables inspectors to provide property owners a more valuable and thorough inspection. It also gives those inspectors who use them a competitive advantage.
Moisture Meter: A Valuable Inspection Tool
Many professional home and building inspectors use moisture meters because of their ability to quickly and accurately detect areas of moisture intrusion – especially areas that are hidden and not readily apparent during a visual inspection.
For instance, excess moisture may be hidden within a wall cavity, exterior wall sheathing, or behind a ceramic tile wall covering. A moisture meter can help find those areas with elevated moisture levels, thereby preventing potentially dangerous or damaging moisture situations.
Great for Detecting Mold
Moisture meters also help inspectors identify the extent of excess moisture within a property. Building materials that get sufficiently wet – including drywall, plaster, wood, tile, siding, and roofing – are at risk for mold, rot, or decay within a short period of time.
Take mold, for example. It will grow on surfaces that have a moisture content (MC) of 20% or more, though vapor pressure and other factors can affect this value. In no time, mold spores can be released throughout the living area.
Of course, it's not the job of an inspector to look for the presence of mold spores. But he/she can, however, scan for those pockets of moisture that are likely to breed mold. Once detected, it is up to the property owner to eliminate the source of moisture and any mold that might develop from it. In this way, the inspector can add value to his/her service by offering important advice.
Inspectors can use a moisture meter to detect possible mold colonies in such places as:
Damp attics and basements
Insulation material between walls
Wallboard located in damp locations (Corners are particularly susceptible because of inadequate air circulation caused by the placement of furniture or other objects.)
Open interior spaces of cavity walls (They can harbor mold due to roof and mechanical system leaks that soak these interior surfaces.)
Beneath wood flooring, subfloors, carpets, and tile
Ceiling tiles (Ceiling tiles are porous and easily absorb moisture. Leaks and condensation from mechanical system piping or roof leaks can lead to mold growth.)
Ductwork (Moisture can condense and accumulate in duct lining material or moisture can accumulate in attics because of ductwork leaks.)
Moisture Meters Also Detect Locations Where Pest Infestations Are Likely
Although moisture meters are not used by home inspectors to find pest infestations, they can be used to detect moist areas that potentially could attract pests.
It doesn't take much moisture to attract pests. For instance, carpenter ants and subterranean termites can thrive in wood as low as 15% MC. Some species of beetle and borer insects, however, can thrive inside wood with only 12% MC.
Areas where pest infestations commonly originate include:
Plumbing within walls
Damp basements and attics
Materials wet from a leaky roof
Cracked pipelines or poorly installed drain systems
NOTE: We're not stating that home or building inspectors should search for pests. In fact, most states which license pest inspectors also prohibit others from inspecting for pests. A home inspector can forfeit his home inspection license for doing unlicensed termite inspections.
Additionally, home inspectors are protected by state laws from inspecting for damage hidden inside walls.
Should home inspectors either find evidence of or suspect the possibility of a pest infestation during the inspection, they should inform the property owner so that a licensed pest inspector can be called in.
Moisture Meters Are Valuable for Another Reason
Moisture meter readings provide inspectors with clear, exact, and easy-to-share data with property owners.
For example, Wagner moisture meters come with a Press and Hold feature. This allows the inspector to take an MC reading in dark or hard-to-reach areas and then display the reading to the property owner once the meter is removed. Or, the data can be stored and retrieved later since some meters have data collection capabilities.
Providing this kind of information to property owners documents an inspector's report of moisture intrusion. It can also enhance an inspector's reputation – and ultimately – their profitability.
Types of Moisture Meters
Moisture meters enable inspectors to detect moisture levels in most building materials, such as wood, stucco, drywall, plaster, tile, shingles, linoleum, roofing, and more. They are useful tools to have during home inspections because they can determine the moisture properties of inaccessible or hard-to-reach locations without causing them any damage.
There are two types of moisture meters available for use in the home or building inspections: pin-type meters and pinless meters. Each type of meter has a specific function. Some inspectors use both types of meter, depending on the particular application.
Pin-Type Moisture Meters
Pin-type meters are equipped with two metal pins that must penetrate the wood or material's surface in order to take a moisture reading. Once the pins are in, the inspector turns the meter on.
This causes an electrical current to pass between the pins and the meter displays a value on-screen for the amount of resistance there was to the electric current between the two pins.
In other words, pin-type meters work on a resistance principle that measures the effect of moisture on an electric current passed between the two pins. Because water is a good conductor of electricity and wood is a poor conductor, the meter can tell how much water is in the wood by how much current travels between the pins. The less resistance there is, the more water is present in the material being measured.
Advantages of Pin-Type Moisture Meters
Because pin-type meters take readings between the two pins, they offer slightly more variability in reading depths than a pinless meter. In other words, pin-type meters that use longer pins with insulated shafts offer the user an advantage of testing at different depths in the wood or material. NOTE: The MC reading is always taken at the depth the pins are driven into an object.
And, as long as the two pins penetrate the material, pin-type meters can take readings regardless of the material's shape, size, or degree of roughness. Typically, pin-type meters are used to test for moisture on the surface of building materials, such as stucco, drywall, plaster, or wood.
pin-type meters can measure the MC of a material's surface, or at incremental depths. Manufacturers of pin-type meters normally have probes of varying lengths and designs in order to extend their reach.
For instance, hammer probes can be driven deep into wood or other materials, while other probes can be inserted into pre-drilled holes in masonry, or pushed through insulation. Also, long-pin type moisture meters are capable of detecting moisture in the wall cavity insulation that did not show up in surface tests using a pinless meter.
Disadvantages of Pin-Type Moisture Meters
The advantage of testing at different depths is negated if the insulation surrounding the meter's pins is peeling or has come completely off. Inspectors who use pin-type meters must check the pin insulation frequently.
As the pins are driven into structural materials, such as plywood and hardwood, the insulation will begin to wear. If the meter displays elevated numbers, the insulation has been compromised and the pin(s) must be replaced. If not replaced, MC readings will be inaccurate.
Uninsulated pins measure the wettest layer of wood they come in contact with. So if the wood or material is located where it can absorb a lot of moisture, it may have higher MC on the surface than the core. In that event, uninsulated pins will only take a reading of the wetter outer surface no matter how deep the pins penetrate.
Most pin-type meters come with a variety of accessories and attachments designed for various building materials and construction methods. These attachments, especially hammer probes, suffer from abuse and can easily give false readings due to broken electrical connections.
One must also consider that pin-type meters measure moisture in only a relatively small area surrounding the pin insertion. Therefore, intermittent wet spots in the wood or material may be missed by pin-type meters.
Because the pins put unsightly holes on the surface of the wood or material with each test, inspectors should exercise care when using. For instance, this is not a problem for 2x4s or material hidden from sight, but it can be for wood floors, walls, ceilings, or other areas where the holes would be noticeable. The holes may also provide an avenue for moisture to enter deep into the wood or material best tested, and possibly even insects.
Another concern is the possibility of broken pins or inaccurate readings because of improperly driven pins. This can happen because of the force necessary to insert a pin meter into wood. The longer the pins are, the greater the risk of breakage during use. If replacement pins are not on hand, the meter becomes unusable.
Pin-type meters also are more sensitive to temperature changes than pinless meters. Because of that, pin-type meters should always come with temperature correction charts for wood measurements.
Inspectors who work in coastal regions that are flooded should be aware that pin-type meters won't work at all if the material being tested was exposed to saltwater or brackish water. The salt prevents them from working properly.
Pinless moisture meters use radio frequency signals to detect and measure MC beneath the surface of a material. At the bottom of the meter is a sensor plate, which is held tightly against the surface of the material being tested.
The plate projects electromagnetic waves (radio waves) that penetrate the material. The meter can detect a change in the electromagnetic field caused by moisture and the material. It then converts the change to an MC reading.
Wagner Meters, for instance, uses radio waves to determine the presence of excess moisture. Their meters detect the amplitude of the waves, which is diminished when they come in contact with water.
Wagner's meters also take a three-dimensional average of the moisture in wood or other materials. This decreases the likelihood that intermittent wet spots will be missed, as is the case with pin-type meters.
Advantages of Pinless Meters
Because pinless moisture meters use radio frequency signals that cover a wider area than pin-type meters, inspectors can scan large areas quickly and easily. This helps them instantly identify the general location of moisture for further inspection. And it allows for a more rapid home or building inspection.
Because pinless meters have no pins, they do not damage wood or other surfaces as do pin-type meters. They can also be slid rapidly along building surfaces, making it easy to scan large areas for moisture. But when using a pinless meter, one must apply adequate pressure to get a correct reading.
Pinless meters also are less prone to breakage during normal use, but a person must verify calibration (as both styles must) in order to provide accurate MC readings.
Disadvantages of Pinless Meters
It may be hard to get an accurate reading if the wood or material is warped or very rough. In that case, a few passes with a block plane may create a flat spot to take the reading. Pinless meters may also be susceptible to scratches or damage to the sensing pad.
Unlike pin-type meters which provide readings at greater depth, pinless meters generally operate at two standard reading depths: ¼-inch and ¾-inch below the surface. There is anecdotal evidence, however, that Wagner meters can detect moisture at a greater depth than ¾ inches.

Maximizing Any Moisture Meter's Use
As with any tool, how you use it and maintain it will determine its accuracy and overall performance. Here are nine tips on how to maximize a moisture meter's performance – whether it's a pin-type or pinless meter.
Be aware of metal. Moisture meters are sensitive to metal, so they should be kept away from anything conductive. Thus, taking a reading near any metal object such as nails, staples, or metal studs renders the moisture meter ineffective, resulting in a false reading. See the False Moisture Meter Readings section below for more details.
Handle with care. Many moisture meters are calibrated at the factory and will probably never need recalibrating. But if the meter is dropped, it may need recalibrating. Some manufacturers require the meter be returned for recalibration. Others, like Wagner Meters, offer a "calibration verification block" that can be purchased and available for quick and convenient calibration checks.
Keep fresh batteries on hand. Moisture meters do not draw much power, so the batteries will have a long life. It is still a good idea to keep spare batteries with the meter. A quick switch of batteries on the job site will prevent any loss of time.
Don't forget the manual. The meter's manual includes not only instructions of how to use the meter but often mentions other valuable information. For instance, the Wagner manual has information on the material settings for various construction materials and a caution about false readings from metal (see tip #1 above).
Wipe off standing water. Before taking wood moisture readings, wipe off any standing or visible water and allow the surface to dry for 60 seconds or more. Standing or visible water usually results in inaccurate readings, regardless of the meter type. For example, pin-type meters with non-insulated pins give highly exaggerated readings when the wood surface is wet. Also, be aware that if water soaks into the wood, it will give a higher MC reading.
Consider the subfloor. When measuring MC levels in installed flooring, the meter will probably pick up moisture in the subfloor. If the subfloor is made of wood products, this probably won't skew the readings, but concrete will give a higher reading.
Make good contact. Pinless meters require about three pounds of pressure to obtain a good reading. Pin-type meters must be pressed firmly into the wood until the pins reach the designated reading depth. Care must be taken when pressing the pins into hardwood as they tend to break.
Document everything. Inspectors should record all readings using either a spreadsheet or with photos of the meter's readings.
Follow the grain. When used on wood, pin-type meters work better when they are placed in the direction of the grain.
False Moisture Meter Readings
If metal is present within the penetrating range of the meter, it will alter wave characteristics in ways similar to water. The meter will report levels of moisture that are higher than the actual level of the material if it detects a copper wire, a metal pipe, or some other metallic substance.
If an inspector suspects that the meter is sensing metal, s/he can monitor the readings as s/he moves the meter in a straight line away from the elevated reading area – horizontally, then vertically. As the meter is moved this way, notice if the meter is responding to what may be a piece of metal or wood stud rather than an area of elevated moisture. The straight outline of a copper wire or metal pipe can usually be traced in this fashion.
Hidden metal objects used in construction can also cause problems. Common examples are steel frames that join drywall at corners (bead and trim), fasteners, flashing, and metal channels.
Metal at depths greater than 1 to 1 ½ inches from the surface being scanned won't be a problem. As the meter is scanned across studs, the readings will be elevated due to the higher density of the stud vs. the void and the insulation space.
These guidelines also apply when measuring MC of flooring material over concrete or plywood. The meter may respond to these types of materials as it would to an increase in MC.
The Indispensable Moisture Meter
While it appears that El Niño peaked earlier this winter and will continue to weaken over the next few months, it is still expected to influence the weather across the United States. Meteorologists say it will be wetter through May in California, most of the Great Basin and Desert Southwest, Lower Mississippi Valley, the Southeast, and most of the East Coast.
This increases the likelihood many homes and buildings may be flooded this spring. If this occurs, home and building inspections also will increase to determine the extent of damage and whether or not properties are habitable.
While commercial building or home inspectors have an array of tools they can use on the job, perhaps the most critical tool is the moisture meter. Moisture-related problems annually cost billions of dollars in damage and can jeopardize the structural integrity of a home or building.
And, in those cases where moisture intrusion leads to mold outbreaks, serious health issues also can occur.
Therefore, inspectors who use moisture meters covered in this special report stand to offer greater value and benefit to their customers. It also enables them to enhance their professional reputation and profitability – as well as gain a competitive advantage over those inspectors who fail to use these devices.

American Crystal Sugar Company shareholders have a great reputation for raising high quality excellent yielding sugarbeet crops. However efficient harvesting of the crop and minimizing yield loss in the field often has great room for improvement. A case in point is the results of harvest loss appraisals completed in 1998 by American Crystal Sugar Company agriculturists and growers. Over 300 harvest appraisals were completed.
Harvest losses were excessive even though the 1998 crop was the best ever at 22.3 T/A with large average beet size.
Why do Harvest Loss Appraisals and Harvester Repair and Maintenance?
The American Crystal Sugar Company "Harvest Loss Team" has put together a toolbox of useful items to aid growers to harvest the 2004 crop better than ever. Utilize those tools most likely to be of benefit in your operation. Most of these tools are available at www.crystalsugar.com, then click on Ag Tools and go to Ag Calculators or Harvester Forms.
The sugarbeet harvester slide rule - available from your agriculturist.
The Crocodile - a field harvest loss evaluation tool - available from your agriculturist.
The American Crystal Sugar Company brochure titled "The Sugarbeet Harvest - Reap What You Sow" available from your agriculturist.
Hands on agriculturist assistance - get in touch with your agriculturist during prepile when they have time to assist.
This is the time of year to start tuning up your defoliators and harvesters. Do you remember what your field looked like when you were done harvesting it last year?
If your field looked like anything other than the first picture you have the opportunity to make more money by delivering the beets you grew. Below is a chart showing actual field losses measured in our 1998 harvest loss study.
Right now is the time for planning Nitrogen management programs for the 2005 crop. Grower practices data summarized over the past 7 crop years shows fields with N management by zone produce $45 more revenue per acre. Fertilizer costs are also reduced.
Monitor fields carefully for increased severity of Cercospora from the two August infection periods. Uncontrolled Cercospora can significantly reduce yield and quality as the leaf canopy becomes less photosynthetically efficient in September.
Contrary to some public opinion, frost does not stop Cercospora unless it kills the leaves entirely.

The Lure of Technocracy →
April 4, 2022 • #
Jason Crawford lays out a theory for why technocracy (the idea that a technical elite can lead a nation to technological progress if given the top-down control of economic and scientific policy) fizzled out around the 1970s:
In the early 1970s, a perfect storm of events conspired to discredit the technocratic idea, including Vietnam, Watergate, and the oil shocks. By 1973 it was clear that our leaders were unfit to govern, in terms of either competence or ethics: they could not handle affairs at home or abroad, neither the economy nor foreign policy, and they were plagued by scandal.
From the 1970s on, the conversation changed. The belief in progress was not totally dead. But the idea that it could be achieved centrally by the elites held much less sway, and there was a major new element of distrust and skepticism at the very idea of progress—an element that has not gone away, and indeed by today has gone mainstream.
I don't think the technocratic worldview is gone at all, though I do agree with his point that technological progress is seen with a skeptical eye by many in the west, especially over the last 20 years or so. Perhaps it's that today's technocrats retain their belief in their expertise and ability to dictate solutions from above, but those interests are less of a technical nature and focused more on socioeconomics or lifestyle.
Recently I've been reading Virginia Postrel's The Future and Its Enemies, so I'm deep in the roots of technocracy lately. That book presents a case for "dynamism" — the opposite being "stasism" — with "technocrats" and "reactionaries" being the two primary opponents of the dynamist view. Reactionaries want to bring things back to a time "in the old days" when things were better (read: predictable). Technocrats do want progress, but they want it at their own pace, dictated by their control and decisions. But to Postrel's point, dynamism by definition bucks our attempts to control it directly.

We have been limited in our ability to offer year-round productions by having no permanent space of our own. This means having to negotiate space and scheduling with other venues, scrounging for rehearsal space, having to build all sets off site and then move them to the performance facility, and not being able to employ full-time artistic staff, since there are long periods without performances.
The opportunity to continue to provide our tradition of summer outdoor performances at an amphitheater in a beautiful state park and to have the security of being able to offer regularly scheduled shows throughout the remainder of the year is the best possible solution for Jenny Wiley Theatre as well as for Eastern Kentucky.
Your article notes that the contract "allows for the possibility of a name change." In fact, the board has the ability to change the name of the theater at any time and always has. This clause preserves that ability but also protects the name from being changed by any other interested party (such as the city of Pikeville) without board consent.
In other words, this preserves the operations in Pikeville as Jenny Wiley Theatre and maintains the connection to the existing amphitheater and its history, tradition and reputation.
Jenny Wiley Theatre has, for almost half a century, provided high-quality entertainment in Eastern Kentucky that enhances the region culturally and economically. We are excited by the opportunity to offer more productions, more workshops, more children's theater and more school programs and to be able to employ more actors, directors, designers, musicians and dancers with longer contracts and steady work.
At a time when many theaters are reducing offerings or even closing their doors, we want to make sure we will be able to call Eastern Kentucky home to high-quality professional theater for another 47 years.


The possible political leanings of the Google search engine were hinted at last week when Eric Schmidt, the executive chairman of the organization's parent company Alphabet Inc., was spotted at failed Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's "victory" party wearing a staff badge.
Moreover, a memo attached to one of the hacked Clinton campaign emails published last month by WikiLeaks showed the nominee's former chief digital strategist informing her about the work "Eric Schmidt's group" and "team" were performing for her campaign.
While it was true that Schmidt took these actions as an individual, there was plenty of evidence to suggest that his personal bias had infected the organizations he commanded.
Last April, for instance, The Intercept reported that Google staffers had been invited to the White House on at least 427 separate occasions between January 2009 and October 2015.
"Eric Schmidt … was an enthusiastic supporter of both of Obama's presidential campaigns and has been a major Democratic donor," the publication added.
Plus, Schmidt reportedly sought to be the "head outside adviser" to the Clinton campaign and offered advice and assistance on multiple occasions, emails from two years ago showed.
Allegations have also been made that Google allegedly altered search recommendations in favor of Clinton's campaign.
To say that Google as a corporate entity was completely in the tank for Hillary Clinton might be a bit of a stretch. But to assert that at least a large portion of it had been corrupted by Schmidt's devotion to the former Democrat nominee would certainly be appropriate.
Please share this story on Facebook and Twitter and let us know what you think about Eric Schmidt's close and shady connections to Hillary Clinton!

Philly's bike share hits peak ridership as coronavirus concerns grow

While coronavirus has city agencies on high alert and panicked people emptying shelves of hand sanitizer, Philadelphia's bike-share program is riding high. Indego clocked 14,000 rides during the first nine days of March, that's close to twice the number from 2019.
The numbers continue a hot streak for Indego. Ridership set a record with more than 86,000 rides for the January and February months. Last year those numbers were around 63,000. This year beat out the record high set in 2017 at 81,000.
Aaron Ritz, transportation programs manager for the city's Office of Transportation, Infrastructure, and Sustainability, attributes the jump in ridership to the unseasonably temperate weather.
"I think the early spring this year has been a positive thing for our program overall," Ritz said.
The highest ridership months are generally July, August and September with around 100,000 rides.
But the bike share's success reflects a trend seen in New York City and Wuhan, China, among other cities, as coronavirus-wary commuters seek alternatives to crowded mass transit.
Coronaviruses don't last long in the open air and research shows that being outside lowers the risk of exposure through objects or materials such as clothes, utensils, furniture or other objects that may carry infections. Meanwhile, proximity to people who are sneezing and coughing poses the biggest risk of transmission.
Since the virus doesn't have a long outdoor life span and people are advised not to touch their face without washing their hands, the risk of getting sick from bike handles is very low, city officials say.
With that in mind, there are no specific precautions or alerts for riders beyond the standard directions from health officials to wash hands and practice good personal hygiene.
"Indego is keeping well aware of trends with regards to COVID-19," said Ritz.
Philadelphia just confirmed its first case, while New Jersey confirmed its first death. Both Pennsylvania and New Jersey reported close to 40 presumptive cases combined on Wednesday.
The Philadelphia Department of Public Health does not recommend disinfectants for outdoor equipment or in areas without a confirmed case of the virus.
That's one less thing for riders to worry about while biking through the busy streets.
