Aired March 14, 2016

A quiet, DeKalb County neighborhood off of Flat Shoals Road is cozy with its bungalows, townhomes and single family houses. But, neighbors say, their new homeowners' association president has created tension.

"I've lived 10 years and I've never seen anything like this. It could be a reality show," said Lauren Hise , a Brighton Village homeowner

Brighton Village Board Treasurer Derick Montegomery chimed in, "I'm exhausted and tired and very frustrated."

Many residents and some board members also blame the property management group, Sentry Management, for the new tension which spilled into a recent meeting.


In an audiotape, you can hear Sentry representive Caren Brown challenges board member Brianna Gage who has pushed back at how the community is being treated.

"Do you want to see me outside Brianna? Let's go," yelled Ms. Brown.

Board treasurer Derick Montgomery was there.

I said, 'We're professionals. We are not going to engage in a fistfight wth a property management who is on the clock and we're paying her to be there'."

So how did it come to this? The installation of a security gate opened the neighbors' eyes to just how closed off they feel they are to the management of their community. Even the HOA treasurer, the man in charge of the finances, says he no longer has a say in how the money is spent.

The treasurer says Brighton Village shelved an $80,000 gate proposal because they didn't have the money. But then after new board leadership arrived, he says, a gate was going in and the price was going up.

"And we're now at $135,000," he told the Fox 5 I-Team.

Alarmed Montgomery sent a letter warning his neighbors "no decision was voted on by the board." Neighbors chimed in wanting to know more.

"We want to see the contract. We want to see the financial," said homeowner Zakia Funchess

The Fox 5 I-Team has tried to talk to board president Michael Pillow about the mounting tensions since he took the post. When I asked him, "Can we talk to you about the ill will between the board and some of the neighbors," he kept walking.

Neighbor David Thompson sums up what we heard again and again.

"There just hasn't been a lot of transparency."

Residents say they were told the bylaws give the president a lot of power to make unilateral decisions.

Fed up they gathered signatures to call for new board elections, but they poured out of that packed meeting furious, again.

"They humored us by giving us the meeting that we had a right to and then at the last moment threw it in our face that we needed half of the members which is half of the homeowners to vote in order to get anybody off the board," said an obviously furious Lauren Hise

Neighbor Brian Sheffer said, "We thought we had the votes."

He placed blame for the community not knowing more about how the process was supposed to work.

"Our property manager, our board, the lawyer we're paying to be there right now."

We tried to chat with Sentry Management, but they instead called the police on us.

The community told me at the meeting to vote off the board, they finally asked the current members to just step down from their volunteer positions so they could start over. We were told, one board member said she would, but not the president.

And finally, the neighbors say many of the board positions - including the president's - are about to expire, so they will hold new elections. But they want all spending to be on hold until that happens.

Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison journeys to India to film the epic work of the Paani Foundation’s Water Cup Competition. We tour the village of Velu, in Maharashtra, who won the 2016 competition to install the most amount of water harvesting structures in a 45 day period. Guided by Paani Foundation’s chief advisor, Dr. Avinash Pol, we take a ride through the village watershed and see a massive water diversion and groundwater recharge project that has dramatically improved the lives, economy, ecology and stability of this village. Although the Paani Foundation doesn't use the word Permaculture to describe what they do, we examine why their work has turned into the biggest Permaculture project on Earth!

Billion Dollar Flower Market | Business Documentary from 2016

The Flower industry is a billionaire global business. The Netherlands is the world’s most advanced flower producer and controls the market. Nearly all of the flowers that the United Kingdom buy are from abroad and it’s the Dutch. But there’s a chink in the Dutch armour and the Brits are fighting back. This documentary follows florist Geoff, who learned Dutch and buys directly at the flower auctions in Holland, passing on savings to his loyal customers back home.  We meet a new generation of British florists including 21-year-old Jay, whose new business is booming because of a dedication to using quirky homegrown British buds for her luscious event displays. Florists like Jay are even helping keep the world famous flower market Covent Garden in cheeky rude health. And it’s not only them. Our high street supermarket giants have realized growing business opportunities, spotting how to encourage shoppers to fill their trollies with homegrown Sweet Williams sourced from local super grower Mark. And we reveal just how florist Rob did it to create his huge flower display outside London’s National Portrait Gallery. Our own humble British flowers and enterprising British florists are on a roll, the Dutch aren’t having it all their own way.

Our early ancestors relied on lightning to cause forest fires, from which they could collect coals and burning sticks to help them cook food and clear land. Yet, it wasn’t just humans who benefited from these natural phenomena. Even as they destroyed trees, fires also helped the forests themselves. Jim Schulz outlines the benefits of wildfire.

How Long Can a Person Survive Without Food?

“The duration of survival without food is greatly influenced by factors such as body weight, genetic variation, other health considerations and, most importantly, the presence or absence of dehydration. For total starvation in healthy individuals receiving adequate hydration, reliable data on survival are hard to obtain.”

The Psychology of Hunger
http://www.apa.org/monitor/2013/10/hunger.aspx
“In November 1944, 36 young men took up residence in the corridors and rooms of the University of Minnesota football stadium. They were not members of the football team. Rather, they were volunteers preparing for a nearly yearlong experiment on the psychological and physiological effects of starvation. Known as the Minnesota Starvation Experiment, the study was a project of the newly established Laboratory of Physiological Hygiene at the University of Minnesota, an interdisciplinary research institution with an emphasis on nutrition and human biology.”

Brain Foods: The Effects of Nutrients on Brain Function
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pm....c/articles/PMC280570
“It has long been suspected that the relative abundance of specific nutrients can affect cognitive processes and emotions. Newly described influences of dietary factors on neuronal function and synaptic plasticity have revealed some of the vital mechanisms that are responsible for the action of diet on brain health and mental function. Several gut hormones that can enter the brain, or that are produced in the brain itself, influence cognitive ability.”

One kilogram of cashews can cost $10 wholesale — over seven times as much as peanuts. And in the US, retail prices for raw whole cashews can reach $15 per pound. But cashews are more complex than most other nuts. Each cashew kernel grows inside a toxic shell. It must be carefully extracted from this shell and rigorously processed to ensure that the caustic liquid inside the shell is completely destroyed. So, how are cashews processed? And is this what makes them so expensive?

The processing of cashews is becoming widely automated, though it is still done by hand in many factories in Sri Lanka.

Inequality is a big, big subject. There's racial inequality, gender inequality, and lots and lots of other kinds of inequality. This is Econ, so we're going to talk about wealth inequality and income inequality. There's no question that economic inequality is real. But there is disagreement as to whether income inequality is a problem, and what can or should be done about it.

America and China are edging closer to signing a deal in the trade war. But that won’t mark the end—the issues at the heart of the conflict will be very difficult to resolve. Read more here: https://econ.st/2qQItl6

The world’s leading superpowers are locking horns. Over the past 16 months America and China have been trading blows through tariffs on goods. The impact is being felt on industries worldwide. But what is the story behind the America-China trade war?

So the trade war, what have you guys been looking at? The US doesn’t like that China is growing so fast and set to overtake America as the biggest economy in the world if it hasn’t already by certain measures. Basically China and the US are caught in this race of imposing tariffs on each other so the US slaps a high tariff on certain products then China retaliates.

It’s multiple industries across multiple markets, it’s huge. And I think right now would be a really good time to look at what’s happened how it could impact the world from now on.

At The Economist, we’ve been covering the trade war extensively Soumaya Keynes is our trade and globalisation editor based in Washington, DC.

How did this whole trade war kick off? How did this whole trade war start? For a long time there have been frustrations that past American administrations had with the Chinese. On the 2016 presidential campaign trail you started to see some really tough rhetoric.

China’s economic rise has been dramatic. In 1978 China’s GDP at market prices was just 6% of America’s. Last year it had grown to 66%. When considering local spending power China has already overtaken America. This unprecedented growth began with President Deng Xiaoping. He started opening up China’s economy to the world in 1978 and the country quickly became “the world’s factory”. Over the next decade, exports as a share of GDP tripled and by 1988 15% of China’s exports went to America. The World Trade Organisation opened its doors to China in 2001. And it was America that ushered it in.

After joining the WTO, China became an economic superpower. But people had expected the country to also become more like a Western capitalist economy. That didn’t happen. America now claims that China achieved its growth by not playing fair. Are those claims justified?

The Trump administration has been using tariffs or taxes on imported goods to try to force the Chinese to change their ways. In July 2018 America imposed tariffs of 25% on $34bn worth of Chinese products. That almost doubled the average tariff rate on Chinese imports from 3.8% to 6.7%. And it’s American firms that have to pay that tax. But with every increase from America, came an increase from China. Since the start of the trade war China has more than doubled its average tariff rate. America’s has tripled. The fight has become overtly political because China’s tariffs are hitting President Trump’s voter base. Many counties where Trump won in the 2016 election were here in the Great Plains and these are the counties most affected by China’s tariffs.

As things stand now, a ceasefire in the trade war could be drawing near. The two leaders are hoping to agree on a “phase one” deal soon which could mean some tariffs being lifted The Trump administration wants China to buy more American produce and tighten up their intellectual property rules. If that phase one deal is signed will it be the beginning of the end of the trade war?

Even if there is a phase one deal there will be a lot of issues still to be resolved. But there’s more to the trade war than just tariffs. America has also imposed restrictions on some Chinese firms especially ones in the tech industry.

A profusion of national incidents in which white citizens have called police on black citizens engaged in everyday activities shows how racial bias can escalate into confrontation and even violence or death. Yamiche Alcindor examines the concerns, highlighted by hashtags and memes like #LivingWhileBlack, with NAACP president Derrick Johnson.
