PBGVs are extroverted, friendly, and independent hounds. Sometimes called the "happy breed," PBGVs have tirelessly wagging tails and expressive, intelligent eyes. PBGVs are typically active and lively. While good with children, other dogs and pets, they may be unsuitable for very young children because of their energy and tendency to play bite. The PBGV standard states that the dog should "give voice freely"—as is typical of hounds, petits are outspoken dogs. If their 'pack' begins howling or singing, the dog will join in, with amusing results. PBGVs may howl alone or with a companion; they may howl to music, for fun, or in protest at being left alone. PBGV companions report that sleeping dogs have been known to awaken and howl along with favorite songs. The PBGV is not a quiet dog. While no PBGV would ever be called "yappy," their assertive, hound-bray is uncharacteristically loud for their petite stature. The outspoken nature of a PBGV varies from dog to dog, but even the shyest Petit will greet other dogs with a bark or call.

Afrojack at Fillmore Silver Spring
by Ally Schweitzer June 1st, 2012 August 29th, 2020
Those of us who turn an ear toward mainstream dance music only when we amble past the open doors of a Georgetown chain store might not grasp the extent to which a particular strain of Dutch house has permeated club music. Several years ago, the bleepy, hip-hop-flecked interpretation of house—commonly called "Dirty Dutch"—didn't make a blip outside the Netherlands' borders, self-quarantined by virtue of its weirdness. Then a couple of key Dutch-house tracks began to clatter in American clubs, namely DJ Chuckie's 2008 cut "Let the Bass Kick" and his 2009 collaboration with Silvio Ecomo, "Moombah." Afrojack wasn't far behind: The young, chubby-faced producer charted internationally with "Take Over Control" in 2010, and since then, he's been sailing around in boats, collaborating with will.i.am, putting his name on an energy drink with the king of awful dance music, Steve Aoki, and, to the horror of his fans, producing and dating Paris Hilton (one customer on Discogs.com announced, perhaps belatedly, that the union of Hilton and Afrojack officially makes him a sell-out). Now, it's tough to walk by an Armani Exchange without hearing a remix by the bleepy Dutchman. But D.C. dance-music fans have an even more intimate relationship with Afrojack: He's the guy whose remix of "Moombah" is a key ingredient in Dave Nada's locally grown microgenre, moombahton. (Those air-raid sounds? Yeah, that's Afrojack.) Moombahton might be the most listenable take on the "Dirty Dutch" sound, but don't expect Afrojack to play much Dave Nada during his set tonight.
Afrojack performs at 8 p.m. at Fillmore Silver Spring, 8656 Colesville Road, Silver Spring. $39.50. fillmoresilverspring.com. (301) 960-9999.

European Commission considers possibility of complete rejection of natural gas, - official
"Naftogaz" representative expressed opinion that Europe's refusal from gas in ten years "seems as fantastic scenario"
112 Agency
The European Commission considers the possibility of complete rejection from the natural gas and other hydrocarbons. Yury Vitrenko, the Executive Director of "Naftogaz-Ukraine" made such statement before the beginning of the trilateral gas negotiations on the political level of Ukraine, Russia and European Commission on the transit of the Russian gas after 2019 as Interfax-Ukraine reported.
"One of the scenarios considered by the European Commission, which should be recognized, is the complete refusal of Europe to use the natural gas in ten years and it is soon for gas industry," Vitrenko said.

"If Europe wants to show the leadership (in the sphere of the decrease of the emissions due to the climate change, - 112 Ukraine) and compensate the things, which others will not do then Europe need to decrease the use of the gas and other hydrocarbons almost up to zero. They really said it," he added.
According to "Naftogaz" representative, Europe's refusal from gas in ten years "seems as fantastic scenario". However, the European Commission gathered the experts and specialists "within trilateral meetings" to study this issue.
Related: "Gazprom" can stop gas transit through Ukraine in 2020, - Naftogaz Head
Vitrenko predicts that more than ten years will be needed for the switch of the industry and homeownerships to the alternative sources of energy.
Gazprom and its partners intended to begin the realization of the Nord Stream 2 project, which costs ten billion dollars. It is expected that the 1200 km gas pipeline will be laid through the Baltic Sea, and will connect Russia and Germany passing Ukraine, Poland, and Baltic countries. The capacity of the gas pipeline will be twice increased than the first Nord Stream. The construction is estimated to be completed by the end of 2019.
Related: Ukrainian gas pipe to become scrap metal
Ukraine is adamantly opposed to the construction by calling it politically motivated and suggesting the EU to create a consortium with the involvement of European companies to manage the existing more efficient transportation route through Ukraine. A number of EU countries have expressed their disagreement with the Nord Stream 2 project in particular Poland and Lithuania.

You Biological Clock Can Be Speed Up By Actual Clocks, So I Guess It's Pretty Literal
By Alanna Greco
The notion of a biological clock might be much more literal than anyone thought. According to a new study, your so-called biological clock can be sped up by...actual clocks. What?
Researchers from Florida State University conducted an experiment by asking women and men about their reproductive attitudes and preferences. They sought to find whether the sound and presence of a ticking clock would change the way participants think about their reproductive timing.
It turns out that by priming the idea of the passage of time, the small white kitchen clock actually did affect certain attitudes about reproduction. Women who grew up in lower socio-economic communities wanted to get married and have children sooner than women who grew up in more affluent communities. These women also lowered their expectations of a mate by de-emphasizing the priority that they put on social status and long-term earning potential.
One of the lead researchers summarizes that "the very subtle sound prime of a ticking clock changed the timing with which women sought to have children and the traits they sought in potential partners — both central aspects of women's mating-related psychology."
The clock, however, had no effect on men. The researchers suggest that this is because men can produce children until much later in their life. Some researchers believe that reproductive timing is generally affected by a person's childhood, their socioeconomic history, and subtle environmental factors. It still seems bizarre to me that an environmental factor as trivial as a kitchen clock might have an effect on such an important decision. Though, since more women are delaying childbirth, and birth rates in the U.S. specifically are dropping, perhaps we could benefit from being nudged towards getting pregnant? Then again, since our planet is headed towards overpopulation and all the scary stuff that goes along with it, maybe we should rethink this whole "propagating the species" thing to being with.

You wouldn't think it if you cruised in peace and bliss at 55 mph on Kansas Highway #56, but as the Santa Fe railroad extended itself across Kansas in the 19th century it created one repulsive and violent cow town after the other. Wichita, Abilene, Dodge City. Newton. Dodge needed a lockup even before the rails were laid and the lumber for a jail could be transported in. They dug a wide and deep hole in the ground, which, after the floods, could also double as a quick drying out spot for the towns' drunks.
"A rush of gamblers and harlots" were lying in wait "for the game which will soon come up from the south. Pistols are as thick as blackberries." But, "woe to the 'greeny' who falls into the hands of the hustlers." The cowboys, freshly paid, letting off steam after three months on the trail, and fast at getting intoxicated, were only natural targets. Bad whiskey was often called "Kansas sheep-dip," but only by Texans. The real thing was "the only certain cure for Scab and its Prevention." Newton at a time had sixteen bawdy houses in full running order. It was once described to be "the fastest town I have ever seen," and it was the scene of many a shoot-out. In 1871, the newly formed Newton law-and-order committee gave the outlaws and the like twelve hours to get out of town, which, surprisingly, indeed they did.
At roughly the same time, Santa Fe agent Carl Schmidt was sent to the Ukraine to explore the possibility of bringing groups of Mennonites to Kansas. In 1874, thirty-four Mennonite families arrived, the first of what eventually became a community of 8,000 that introduced the Russian hard, red wheat seeds and by doing so set Kansas off to become "the American breadbasket." The males, tall and bearded, clad in Russian blouses and billowing trousers, reminded the early Americans of scarecrows, and many expressed their astonishment that the railroad would bring in such incapable looking settlers. But the industrious Mennonites proved to be the best dryland farmers in Kansas. They were survivors even in periods of severe drought. It was also they who planted many of the trees that forever changed the prairie.
So good were the Mennonites, other railroads tried to steal them from the Santa Fe. An agent of the Burlington one day tricked a whole group of them who were waiting for their Santa Fe train in Atchison and put them aboard his own train, which took them away from Kansas, north to Nebraska. Elsewhere similar kidnapping occurred. Thus came it about that groups of aspiring settlers having the same nationality, religion, political conviction, or plain hunger, ended up in strange places all over the Midwest to form Swedish, Mennonite, Roman Catholic, Russian, German, Czech, Dutch Reformed, or Polish colonies. Town names such as Moscow, Pilsen, Liebensthal, or Lindsborg can be found anywhere in the Midwest. There is even an Amsterdam.
Rejection of infant baptism is one of the rather sensible stands the Mennonites take, their opinion being that child baptism was and is just to "rein 'em in" and tie them to the church before they reach the age of consent. Another sensible standpoint is their promotion of a simple life, with simple dress and buildings, including even a capella music in church. And hear this: they were the first church to have a female pastor, Anne Zernike, a 'Doopsgezinde' in Amsterdam in 1916.
I do not really see how this connects to some other teachings. In the biblical 'Song of Songs' the Mennonites find a description of the relationship between a purified church and Christ that not only applies to a reformed church but also to the earthly marriage between man and woman. Like the bride in the songs, the woman must come in total love and devotion and will be cleansed of her natural evil by contact with her husband. Therefore, the Mennonites did not contribute much to alter the conventional view of relations between men and women but idealized the woman's subordinate and asexual status.
'Goodbye to Berlin' became popularized on the American screen by Liza Minelli in 'Cabaret', where her character was Sally Bowles, a rather innocent girl compared to Isherwood's original Sally, the one "with her beauty only sin deep." The real Berlin of the 1930s was rather a stinking place, not Hollywood's version by long. I vaguely remembered Isherwood describing Sally's lust for a drink called Prairie Oysters and I reread the book to refresh my memory, since I am now living on the prairie, ain't I? A couple of eggs, break them, add Worcester sauce, stir the mixture. Prairie Oysters, Sally Bowles "practically lived on them." Anyway, that's how I happened to find Isherwood's description of the Prussian plains, the German prairie.
I wonder, maybe I too have Mennonite in my background, for my father was the only one of his family to become a Roman Catholic, in order to be allowed to marry my mother. Maybe the peacenik in me came forth from his roots. Maybe his genes were what made me want to escape northwestern Europe's grey skies and feeble sun rays, as well as, in Isherwood's terminology, that "waste of unhomely ocean," to discover the much larger immensity of the sea of grass in the Flint Hills, where the light is brighter than anything Germany, or the Netherlands, ever experiences. (And I am not even talking of the brilliance of the light in the American high desert.) Whatever, my father's genes did not supply me with much respect for the bible. The Jesuit priests who took care of my education tried to change this, also without much success.
The Mennonites, with their remarkable dedication to beliefs and principles coming from the scriptures, were, unlike Ans and I when we migrated to America, "nomads of conscience" in search of religious freedom and toleration. They had moved to new habitats many times already, because each time changing circumstances in the countries of settlement prevented them from continuing to live out their faith convictions, and especially their nonparticipation in war. They encountered intolerance in Prussia and experienced the loss of extensive religious freedoms when in Russia their protector Catherine the Great died and their men were forcefully drafted into Czarist armed forces. They indeed found their new freedom in America and, although ultimately theirs may not have proven the best choice for pacifists, I cannot blame them for having not foreseen, in 1874, the coming of The American Empire in the 20th century.
The Mennonites decided to stay, and they, now fervent American patriots, are still around. There was a village in Kansas called Gnadenau and one that is now Hope Valley but in the early days was called Hoffnungsthal. Names in the phone books include many Dutch-sounding ones such as Goossens, Jansens and Jantzens, Friesens, Klaassens and Hagens, as well as German names, the Josts, Kaufmans, Koehns and Schroeders. And, see: I find a few named Haak or Haack in the area's phone books!
The Alexanderwohl Church in Goessel is the oldest existing Mennonite structure in Kansas. Their church was built in the Dutch-Mennonite tradition, with a pulpit on the side of the sanctuary rather than the end, and a three-sided balcony that allows people to be close to the speaker. In 1876, in Hillsboro a Dutch-style windmill was built by Jacob Friesen. Long after it had fallen apart a replica was made that is run periodically to demonstrate flour milling in the former settlement villages. There are still a few old farms built along the Dutch rural design tradition, with the barn connected to the main house so that the heat radiating from the cattle would help warm the living quarters in the winter. Other buildings remind of the clay-brick houses as they were traditionally built in the Ukraine; as for instance in their former village of Sparrau, in Molotschna, where a layer of mud served as plaster over which a finishing coat of whitewash was applied. In the past, these houses like the Dutch farms had a grass-thatched roof.
A different denomination within the larger faith tradition, the Ebenfeld Mennonite Brethren, was first organized in Russia in 1860. Its members too fled persecution and religious intolerance, to settle near Hillsboro in Kansas. Theirs is one of the many splits that occurred in the Mennonite history. The more strict Amish created their own church, as have the Horse and Buggies Old Order Mennonites and, yes, the Automobile Old Order Mennonites. Around Goessel I sometimes meet horses pulling buggies on the highway, their drivers clad in black and wearing a flat-brimmed hat; these Mennonites are allowed to use machines but only for agriculture. By the way, the Progressive Mennonite Church allows homosexuality.
Some Mennonite communities still embrace the idea of the "rumspringa," a South-African sounding word with a Dutch and German, and probably also Danish, background, meaning "fooling around" (literally: jumping around). Rumspringa's concept is that young adults may engage in rebellious behaviour that is "bad" but not necessarily illegal (drinking, partying, sneaking out, and even ignoring religious participation). They are expected to either conform to community standards or leave the community after entering adulthood, usually around the time they finish college. I myself left home already soon after graduating from high school. And I'm afraid I have to confess I never really got done with my rumspringa.
Pen and ink drawing by Gary Gackstatter, 'Badger Creek Bridge' – I chose this illustration because it seems to tell me it shows the Posse on the day the last outlaw was kicked out of town and the first Mennonite arrived; or maybe it shows a bunch of outlaws who have just thrown a few Mennonites into the creek.


The American burying beetle is endangered statewide and nationally. Restoration efforts are under way. This brightly patterned beetle specializes in cleaning carrion from the landscape, burying dead mice, birds, and other creatures.
American burying beetles, the first insect designated as endangered, have returned to Wah'Kon-Tah as part of a well-coordinated partnership that includes the St. Louis Zoo's Center for American Burying Beetle Conservation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Missouri Department of Conservation and The Nature Conservancy. These endangered beetles will be designated as part of a "nonessential experimental" population by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This designation provides flexibility and assurance to nearby landowners that the presence of this protected species will not affect farming and other land-management activities.
Up to 300 pairs of the zoo-bred beetles were released—for the first time in Missouri—in June 2012. Aside from being a large, beautifully colored species, American burying beetles have amazing habits that include parental care for their young. See the St. Louis Zoo's burying beetle information below to learn more about the return of this fascinating creature to Missouri's prairie landscape.
This brightly patterned beetle specializes in cleaning carrion from the landscape, burying dead mice, birds, and other creatures. It is endangered in our nation and in our state, and restoration efforts are under way.
27 of 39 sites checked had larvae, so beetles are reproducing as hoped.
In June 2012, Bob Merz and a group of conservation organizations reintroduced zoo-bred endangered American burying beetles to Missouri's Wah'Kon-Tah Prairie.

Northside Free Store tells local residents to "take what you need"
The Free Store at the Propel Northside Community Wellness Center first opened in the winter of 2018. It operates year round, providing new and gently used clothing and personal care items for free.

On Saturday, Sept. 14, The Northside Chronicle stopped by the Free Store at the Propel Northside Community Wellness Center. Housed beneath Propel Schools Northside, the store provides the community with new and gently used clothing and personal care items at no cost.
The Free Store, which first opened in the winter of 2018, is open every second and fourth Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.* It operates year round.
Caroline Barmen, the site coordinator for the Propel Northside Community Wellness Center, spoke with the Chronicle about how the concept for the store began. A need for the store was observed from the student body, she said, and she sought to fill the need.
Barmen gave a lot of credit to Gisele Fetterman, who helped get the store started to serve the Northside community.
Gisele Fetterman, wife of former Braddock mayor and current Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, runs the Free Store in Braddock. She donated items to help the Northside store get started.
Barmen also picked the brains of organizers at the Wilkinsburg Free Store to get ideas on how to track donations during operating hours.
The Free Store accepts donations during donation hours during the week, but donations can be accepted anytime during the week while the Community Center is open.
While there is no room to store larger items such as household furniture, the Northside Free Store does provide personal care items such as Tide Pods, shampoo, and deodorant.
The Store operates under a "Take What You Need" policy. Customers are limited to five clothing items and two personal care items per person per visit. Ten clothing items can be taken if an individual is shopping for a family.
The Northside Free Store keeps track of weekly visits and goods provided to measure community impact. Barmen reported, for instance, that on Sept. 14, the store had 32 customer visits. One hundred and twenty items of clothing, 46 personal care items and 11 pair of shoes were given away.
In addition, customers left with fresh peaches and squash, compliments of Northside Common Ministries, and fresh bread, compliments of Breadworks.
Mary Anne Klein, a former resident of Observatory Hill and a current resident of McCandless, is a volunteer for the Free Store.
"It's a wonderful experience to be able to give back to the neighborhood," said Klein.
Barmen encourages those in need in the community to come visit the Store and utilize the services provided.
"It's a great asset to the neighborhood, and it's very fun to meet people," said Barmen. "We love being around them, and we're excited to provide needed items to the community."
Be sure to visit the Free Store at the Propel Northside Community Wellness Center, open every other Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.*
*A previous version of this article listed incorrect hours of operation. The free store is open every other Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. 9/27/2019

The Miseries of Eviction: An Interview With Matthew Desmond
Current Affairs speaks to the Harvard sociologist about his book "Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City."
Oren Nimni
Matthew Desmond, a sociologist at Harvard, has written a critically-acclaimed study of the role evictions play in the lives of America's poor. In Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City, Desmond argues that the lack of access to affordable housing has become one of the most important, and unrecognized, social crises in the country. For his research, which involved years of ethnographic fieldwork in inner-city Milwaukee, Desmond was awarded a 2015 MacArthur Fellowship. Desmond recently spoke to Current Affairs legal editor Oren Nimni about his work.
ON: What was the goal of doing the research?
MD: For me, the first goal was just understanding. I've always been perplexed and troubled by how much poverty there is in America, the richest country with the most poverty, and I've always found that totally unnecessary. I wanted to understand the role housing plays in that story. If you read poverty literature, you read a lot about jobs and joblessness in families in all sorts of forms and mass incarceration. There's just not a lot on housing. But we're at this point where the majority of poor folks live in private apartments and get no assistance. They spend most of their money on housing, it's a completely vital and imposing thing in their lives, and we just didn't know much about it. When I started I had no idea how prevalent eviction was, I had no idea how consequential it would be. I thought eviction would be like a good window into [poverty], a good narrative device to hold the story together. I didn't have any idea that it would be the central problem that emerged from the research.
ON: One possible risk I saw was that, over the past 10-15 years in particular, there have been a lot of books that pitch themselves as saying "this is actually the thing that explains poverty." "It's actually mass incarceration," "it's actually jobs," etc. There's a lot of value in saying that these are elements of poverty, the way it manifests, but if you say "no, this is actually the root cause," and we address housing but don't address other aspects of poverty, we will just continue to poke at the problem while the underlying conditions continue to reify.
MD: I so wish that was our problem. I so wish our problem was that we're focusing too much policy on housing. I would love that problem. I think the problem we have is that only 1 of 4 American families that qualify for housing assistance get it. The vast majority of poor folks get nothing, from any level of government. If you ask the typical American, maybe not your readership, but the typical American "where do poor folks live"? They would say public housing, and that couldn't be further from the truth. And so we have to have a huge investment that's on the scale of the problem, we can't settle for smaller change anymore when it comes to this issue of the affordable housing crisis.
Poverty is never just poverty, and this search for a silver bullet doesn't confront the complexity of the problem and I hope the book does. You see the problem of joblessness, the problem of trauma, and we have to confront all of these things. I think you're right, but also that housing has to be at the table and for a long time it just hasn't been. And so any comprehensive poverty legislation has to have a housing component. I wouldn't argue that that would a panacea. But also, we are existing in a world where the waiting list for public housing in our nation's capital is like 20 years long. That's out world. I would love it if we had inherited a world where housing assistance, etc., were addressed and we had dealt with that problem.
ON: One thing the book makes clear is that while it is partially about these grander systems of economics and housing availability, it's also about actual people that make decisions every day in those systems. I'm thinking of the main landlord in the book, who makes decisions every day about whether to give leniency on rent or evict a tenant. There's a place that you cite as the one time you intervened and convinced her to not call the Sheriff, which actually changed someone's life, however marginally. How do we get at that, the fact that it's not all systemic, that there are individual people making often devastatingly cruel choices?
MD: Or super generous choices. Part of me just doesn't want something as fundamental as housing to come down to the whims of an individual, and I think that if you are a stable renter, it doesn't. And there are legal protections and procedures for both landlords and tenants. But if you are someone like Arleen, renting at the bottom of the market and paying 80% of your income in rent, those laws literally cost money. And you exercise them at serious risk of eviction. So under those kinds of conditions, you really are at the risk of caprice either way; you could experience benevolence and magnanimity or callousness.
ON: It's hard when we talk about discretion. Because a lot of times, for example in criminal defense, on one hand we're pushing for judges to have less discretion, since discretion can result in racism. But when you have less discretion, all boats sink, and we end up with everyone just being harmed equally by policies like mandatory minimums. In the book you show this, too. In the trailer park, for example, when there's more discretion, Tobin [the manager of the trailer park] is often kicking people out that need leniency, and it's really based on his own personal whim, and in a really gendered way where men seemed to garner a lot more favor from him. But then when the new property management company came in, and had really strict evenly applied rules, that wasn't necessarily a benefit to the residents either.
MD: Well, people were terrified of that. There was real terror when the new property management firm was coming in and cleaned up. On paper, by all accounts they were more professional, they were fairer, there was a system. But that terrified the people of the park, because they thought that confronting that kind of bureaucracy or these kinds of rules would eviscerate this discretion that sometimes favored them. I hope it comes through in the book that Tobin bailed people out, paid for people's funerals… and also evicted folks.
ON: A lot of times in the book you describe the difference between "stable poverty" and the tenuous poverty of a lot of tenants. What is the biggest core difference between the two experiences of poverty, other than the money?
MD: There are a ton of differences. Over the last 20 years, we've had a massive expansion of inequality, not just between rich and poor, but under the poverty line. There are stable folks, the working poor, and then this grinding poverty, often the non-working poor. The big difference is stability, as well as exposure to trauma. Another big difference is access to help… so there was this paper published a few years ago out of Johns Hopkins about per capita welfare spending over the last two decades and it showed that if you're a working poor person, just in terms of per capita aid, you're a lot better off than twenty years ago, if you're a non-working poor person, it's a lot worse. So just having access to things like the earned income tax credit, and public housing. Basically it's an employment-based safety net, rather than welfare payments, which are almost dried up and haven't increased since 1997, or SSI which is really just helping you scrape by. That's the huge difference.
ON: One thing that was striking in the book is who landlords are. You see tenants that are living in pretty terrible conditions, clearly in violation of myriad housing codes, but at the same time its true that some (by no means all), of the landlords are actually lower middle class or stable poor. And they actually couldn't afford to bring the house up to code without losing the property. What's your feeling about these rules that are on one hand there for the benefit of tenants but on the other hand if they were all followed might actually deprive some people of housing, even as we try to make the housing better.
MD: I think the bigger problem is just that it's hard to pay your rent if you're a poor person. And under those conditions, rules and regulations, kind of tinkering with them, criticizing or praising them… there's bigger game afoot. We've reached the point where most poor families are spending most of their income on housing, and 1 in 4 are spending over 70%. So addressing that point then allows us to address building blocks like code and things.
The history of housing codes can in one way be read as a history of unanticipated consequences. In another way, though, it is an enormous success story. If I wrote this book in the beginning of the 20th century, what would be different? Poor folks would be living in conditions a lot worse than they now are today. We've eviscerated slums from our communities. The book is totally clear on that; we have a long way to go, but we've made huge leaps forward on that score. But the other thing is this problem that's facing folks, that they're just at the mercy of landlords, and they're just crushed by the high cost of housing. Until we fix that, it's hard to regulate ourselves out of the problem.
ON: A lot of the people I represent are low wage workers, domestic workers particularly, and one thing that struck me when I started representing them was that, in my mind, a domestic worker-employer relationship looks like a low-wage immigrant worker working for a wealthy white family in the suburbs. But what I found was that many of my clients were low-wage immigrant workers, working for other low-wage immigrant workers. And those workers have to work two jobs and can't take care of their kids themselves, so they hire a domestic worker, who they then underpay because of their own low wages. So they're violating the law, minimum wage, overtime etc., but it's also true that they actually can't pay that wage because they're getting screwed over by their bosses in turn… It brings up this thing where in a sense because of the way the employment relationship is set up, it's poor people robbing the poor to feed the poor. Some of that appeared in the book as well; Tobin didn't seem particularly well off. And a lot of the times the landlords actually weren't big firms or property management companies but were regular people with a couple of dilapidated properties. Of course, by the end, the main landlord has expanded quite a bit and I think had like 34 or 35 properties. But they were also people who didn't necessarily always have access to all the resources needed to keep the buildings up to code.
MD: I think some would say that. Some would say the landlords in the book were undercapitalized so they have to resort to distractions. So, what's acceptable? How much should a landlord that's renting to a very poor person profit? So Sherena, the main landlord, took home about $10,000 [per month] after expenses, 36 units all squarely in the inner city. She rented almost exclusively to black families, she had a five bedroom home, Jacuzzi in the basement. She and her husband took vacations every year, they had two cars, and ate out every day. She took home in a month what her tenants took home in a year. So, there it is. And part of the profit model that she practiced was running some properties into the ground to be able to minimize expense and maximize profits. And there's a ton of different landlord strategies. But there is a business model at the bottom of the market and there is a way of making money off of properties, not in spite of the neighborhood, but because of it…The big takeaway for me is like a lot of times when we write about poverty we write about it like it's a sad accident and no one ever asks "Who's profiting off this in a direct way? And what does that mean for how to fix poverty?" One thing that means is that if we don't confront that bare fact, our public policies are going to fall very flat. And wealth will continue to be extracted and markets will just adapt.
ON: One thing I appreciated about the book was that the shine was off the apple as far as law was concerned. Legal remedies for both landlord and tenant were just viewed as pieces in a calculus rather than having some kind of mystical overriding force. I think a lot of people who haven't experienced any poverty or housing difficulties would be baffled that you wouldn't show up for an eviction court date. And there's two elements to that, one point is that it's just an economic calculus, should I pay all or part of rent, should I withhold but plan to move out and then not show to court, and then combined with that there's a psychological element of I just don't have the energy to deal with this.
MD: So when I first started this research and was going to eviction court with Sherena and seeing most of her tenants not show up…I mean, you've spent time in eviction court, housing court.
ON: Here it's about 200 people every Thursday in a bureaucratic processing mill…
MD: It's just so crowded and so much noise and so much is going on, it's hard to even call in a court. It is, like you said, really just a processing plant. I remember giving a talk at a law school when I was starting this research and I got this question from a legal scholar, and I have been asked it a few times and then I realized, "oh, they've never been to an eviction court" like they have this image of what a court is and it's not squaring with the image that I'm presenting. I've now gotten to go to a few housing courts and Milwaukee is not an outlier, I was in South Bronx housing court a few months ago and I learned that until just recently there had been a daycare inside because there were just so many children around. I think when I saw this high default rate a lot of tenants not showing, I tried to get a hold of that statistically, and there's this little footnote in the book about this but we didn't find anything, no connections, like if you owe more are you less likely to come, no, if you live further away no, so if the model is right then it means its random, so it's like why did you show up, oh well you happened to find someone to watch your kids, or you had the day off of work, or you randomly just value that highly, or you think you have a case. So it's really disheartening. And I think some commissioners, who are the ones who handle the cases in Milwaukee, some commissioners are known to be more pro or anti tenant and I don't think it really matters, everyone's just trying to get through the stack of cases and get to the end of the day. And there's another stack tomorrow. So when we think of how to fix that, and when we think of suggestions of the right to civil counsel, it also means staffing the court so that it can function like a court.
ON: So in Boston Wednesdays are public housing eviction day and Thursdays are private housing eviction day and its very different to go into court on those days. The first client I ever had in Boston was a 93 year old woman getting evicted from subsidized housing. She was getting evicted for spilling juice on another tenant, which the landlord was charging as an assault. She defaulted on her first date, before I was representing her, just because it took her PCA [Personal Care Attendant] 2 hours to get her dressed every morning and the PCA didn't get in till 8am so there was no way even without travel time (which was substantial) for her to make a 9 am court time. She had so many obstacles, but still came. I really didn't expect her to ever. I think sometimes it's a lot about mood, on that day, are you too depressed to deal with having to go to court, or do you think you can bear it?
MD: I think that comes through a few places in the story. Where one of the tenants in her first eviction, there were two things really, like one she didn't think it was a big deal, and there was this moment where I was kind of trying to say "Aren't you nervous? This is your first eviction, aren't you nervous about it going on your record?" And her response was, "all my friends except my white friends have evictions on their record." The racism was staggering and the whole thing is normalized. And the second thing is that I think she could have gone to court, she thought she would be embarrassed, though. She told a story about her mom going to court and the judge being rude and not winning anyway and …she has a bit of a point. I ask myself, if you had to go and face off with an attorney, would I go? And I have a PhD. And Patrice, a tenant in the book didn't finish high school, would you want to go in there against a lawyer or a landlord that's in there all the time and knows the system?
ON: In the book, although there's a lot of hope and struggle, there's also this pervasive hopelessness. Overwhelming hopelessness. Particularly when the movers are coming to kick people out and initially they're in a frenzy and then just succumb to despair. A lot of the movers were even moving out people they knew. What is that like, that amount of human misery caused by other humans? What did you see from the tenants, in terms of how they dealt with that constant overwhelming force?
MD: A good amount of dark humor. I think the movers try to do it as civilly as possible… if that's even possible, by being polite and asking people things. But in the end they have a ton of houses to do by the end of the day. The amazing thing is just that you open your door, and the next minute your house is just not your house anymore, and they're flipping on your lights and opening your cupboards and the invasiveness is astounding. And you're moving people out in all circumstances; first eviction of the morning you're waking them up, and the woman you mentioned was just cooking dinner and like she knew the day was coming but didn't know exactly when it was going to be. And I remember she had this chalkboard on her wall with like a to-do list of the most pedestrian things like oil change for clock, homework, you know normal parts of home life. I think the psychology is really complicated about what that does to someone. You know we have this paper that links eviction to depression and it shows that evicted mothers, two years later experience high rates of depression and we control for rates of homelessness and other fallout of eviction, so one way of thinking about that relationship is to say that eviction itself, the physical act of removal leaves a mark, above and beyond the later fallout.
ON: Are there solutions short of full redistribution of property or wealth that will actually have an impact? Can any little tinkering really effect this? Or will the market just shift around whatever you try to do?
MD: There are little things, there are free things we can do that would matter. There are also things that involve an investment and this is a problem deserving of an investment. Among the free tinkering things… can we have a conversation about eviction records? Should they be public and free and put online for all to see? They have real effects on people's ability to get housing. And I don't have to tell you this, but most families that go to eviction court have no legal representation; there's no check against a landlord's claims for most cases. And the results of those cases just go up online for free, and they can stop you not just from getting safe housing, but also keep you from getting public housing. Can we have a conversation about that? It would be costless to limit those records. Or can we have a discussion about renter discrimination, about how landlords can just turn away folks with public housing vouchers just because they have vouchers? It's a really immense barrier that stops people from moving into safer neighborhoods with better schools. I think we need to have a conversation about that. Then, moving from that end of the spectrum to the other, we do have to have to confront the fact that people just don't have money. So, as you know, the book comes out in favor of a universal voucher idea. We don't have to reinvent the wheel, the program we have works pretty well, but we just expand it to everyone below the poverty line. That would have a huge, huge effect on poverty in America and would make evictions and homelessness rare. That's a solution that's equal to the scale of the problem, and one that's within our capacity.

Buderim Pioneer Cottage is a cultural heritage museum on the Sunshine Coast committed to best practice in digitisation and access, with an almost fully catalogued collection and an active digitisation program.
The Buderim and District Historical Society operates the community-owned museum at Buderim Pioneer Cottage. An active group of over 25 volunteers documents, archives and shares the history of Buderim and the cottage with visitors. The museum is open six days a week, for four hours per day and is well-visited.
The museum is part of the region's Cultural Heritage Network supported by Sunshine Coast Council. A workshop provided by Council led to the decision to begin digitising the museum's collection.
Community engagement and partnerships:
Sunshine Coast Council (SSC) is the caretaker of a number of heritage collections and buildings across the region. Council's Cultural Heritage Team works with the museum and provide advice, support and training for its volunteers. In addition, the SSC ratepayer Cultural Heritage Levy generates over $1 million per annum, some of which contributes to services and programs that facilitate digital access to the region's heritage and community collections.
When digitising collections, Buderim Pioneer Cottage volunteers also seek technical advice from the State Library of Queensland. The library's Connected Collections approach has provided valuable support to community museums in this region, via Sunshine Coast Council.
In addition, Buderim Pioneer Cottage has a good connection with its local Museum Development Officer, employed by Queensland Museum for the Queensland Museum Network.
As a result of these professional partnerships, volunteers report not only feeling educated and empowered to take on digitisation projects, but also funded and supported by a network of museum professionals.
The museum has a collection of around 5000 items, mainly relating to the domestic environment, as well as archives and paper-based materials connected to the history of the area. A majority of the items have been acquired by donation, however, the museum recently began actively seeking particular items required for its collections and displays.
The Cottage has a small team dedicated to cataloguing the collection using an Access database created in-house. The collection is almost entirely catalogued. Access to digital collections is currently provided through the museum's website, and will eventually be accessible through the Council's Art and Heritage Collection Database. There may also be potential to link the collection to other national aggregated collection platforms in the future.
A portion of the museums' photograph collection is scanned and saved as TIFF files. As a result of a workshop provided by Council, the volunteers are skilled and confident at digitising photographs. A collection documentation manual was produced for the museum using a previous cultural heritage grant obtained through Council.
SCC has identified significance assessment training as the next stage of assisting community museum volunteers with collection digitisation work. Council is also seeking support from local museums to digitise significant objects held within regional collections.
Subject to funding available under the Cultural Heritage Levy, there is potential for Council to consider creating a Collection Digitisation Officer Traineeship, providing a role dedicated to the digitisation of regional collections.
Both Council and Buderim Pioneer Cottage could explore the potential to share their collections on national aggregated collection platforms, so that a broader audience can access collections from Sunshine Coast region.

Aligning Strategy with Client Objectives Maurice Cleaves, Global Head of Cash Management, Barclays Corporate Maurice Cleaves discusses Barclays Corporate's cash management strategy, and the key challenges facing corporate treasurers today.
In this edition, we welcome Maurice Cleaves, Global Head of Cash Management at Barclays Corporate, who discuss the bank's cash management strategy. Maurice joined from Deutsche Bank, where for the past four years he was responsible for the EMEA region Cash Management Product organisation. During this time he had the responsibility for building and managing an EMEA proposition.
Prior to Deutsche, Maurice was at JP Morgan Chase for 26 years, holding positions in Operations, Product and Business Management Sales, Product Development, and Risk Management with the Cash Management, Securities Clearance and Corporate Trust businesses.
Maurice has also been a Director of SWIFT UK, CHAPS, APACS and a Director of the UK Payments Council.
How would you describe Barclays' cash management strategy?
Our focus has been on defining where Barclays fits in the competitive business of cash management - how to develop our client proposition, and where we have opportunities for growth.
Our expansion strategy is and has been, entirely client-driven.
In the UK, Barclays Corporate has a significant presence, with some client relationships which go back more than 200 years.
Outside of the UK, we have pockets of expertise and pockets of influence, that we need to bring together. So, the first part of our global cash management strategy is an investment programme that brings together the countries where our expertise lies.
We already have substantial business in countries such as Spain, Italy, Portugal and France, so we will be consolidating our activities and have plans for considerable further expansion in 2012, in line with our customers' requirements. Growing out into the areas where perhaps we're under penetrated, will be the second part of our global cash management strategy.
In Africa, we already have a unique domestic and regional proposition that is proving increasingly valuable to our clients, as the continent continues to witness stability and growth, presenting exciting new expansion opportunities.
In summary, the way that we will grow and shape our cash management business will partly be on the basis of where our 'home market' is, partly on where our expertise is currently, and partly where we need to follow our clients and grow our geographic footprint.
We are now very much looking to strengthen our cash management product set and help our clients with their global cash management needs.
What was the business rationale behind the strategy to expand in mainland Europe?
Our 'home market' is the UK - many of our clients are headquartered, or have substantial business in the UK.

Q: Why don't I have access to a variable created in the upper scope Im struggling with this js code for some reason. I can't access variables inside the ajax function.
I tried solving this by placing the "formatted" variable above the ajax function but I can't access it from inside. How do I solve this?
angular.module('ireg')
.controller("compoundSearchController", function(){
    var vm = this;
    vm.searchText = "Enter your search here...";
    vm.compounds = getJSON();

    function getJSON(){
        var formatted = "initial";

        console.log(formatted); // equals initial

        $.ajax({url: "http://localhost:8080/ireg/app/php/returnAllCompounds.php", success: function(result){
            formatted = jQuery.parseJSON( result );
            console.log(formatted); //equals the correct object
        }})

        console.log(formatted); // equals initial
        return formatted;
    }

    console.log(vm.compounds); // equals initial

});

A: Asynchronous behavior of AJAX calls is the reason of difference between actual behavior and expected behavior.
Update your code to
var formatted = "initial";

$.ajax({url: "http://localhost:8080/ireg/app/php/returnAllCompounds.php", success: function(result){
    formatted = jQuery.parseJSON( result );
    vm.compounds = formatted;
}})

A: You could not get response of ajax call outside it success because they are asynchronous in nature. You need to use their call back to get that like success or you could also use .then function which get call when ajax call gets resolved.
NOTE

Don't mix jQuery ajax with AngularJS that will mess up with digest
  cycle, you need to force it manually, Do replace ajax with $http

Update
Below is angular version $.ajax
    $http.get("http://localhost:8080/ireg/app/php/returnAllCompounds.php")
    .success(function(result){
        formatted = jQuery.parseJSON( result );
        console.log(formatted); //equals the correct object
    }});

Artificial Intelligence could detect dementia years before symptoms appear.
Dementias are characterised by the build-up of different types of protein in the brain, which damages brain tissue and leads to cognitive decline. In the case of Alzheimer's disease, these proteins include beta-amyloid, which forms 'plaques', clumping together between neurons and affecting their function, and tau, which accumulates inside neurons.
Molecular and cellular changes to the brain usually begin many years before any symptoms occur. Diagnosing dementia can take many months or even years. It typically requires two or three hospital visits and can involve a range of CT, PET and MRI scans as well as invasive lumber punctures.
A team led by Professor Zoe Kourtzi at the University of Cambridge and The Alan Turing Institute has developed machine learning tools that can detect dementia in patients at a very early stage. Using brain scans from patients who went on to develop Alzheimer's, their machine learning algorithm learnt to spot structural changes in the brain. When combined with the results from standard memory tests, the algorithm was able to provide a prognostic score – that is, the likelihood of the individual having Alzheimer's disease.
For those patients presenting with mild cognitive impairment – signs of memory loss or problems with language or visual/spatial perception – the algorithm was higher than 80% accurate in predicting those individuals who went on to develop Alzheimer's disease. It was also able to predict how fast their cognition will decline over time.
Professor Kourtzi, from Cambridge's Department of Psychology, said: "We have trained machine learning algorithms to spot very early signs of dementia just by looking for patterns of grey matter loss – essentially, wearing away – in the brain. When we combine this with standard memory tests, we can predict whether an individual will show slower or faster decline in their cognition.
"We've even been able to identify some patients who were not yet showing any symptoms, but went on to develop Alzheimer's."
Although the algorithm has been optimised to look for signs of Alzheimer's disease, Professor Kourtzi and colleagues are now training it to recognise different forms of dementia, each of which has its own characteristic pattern of volume loss.
Dr Timothy Rittman from the Department of Clinical Neurosciences and a consultant at Addenbrooke's Hospital, part of Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH) NHS Foundation Trust, is now leading a trial to look at whether this approach is useful in a clinical setting.
"We've shown that this approach works in a research setting – we now need to test it in a 'real world' setting," explained Dr Rittman.
To date around 80 patients have taken part in the trial, which was run by CUH, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust and two NHS trusts in Brighton.
Catching dementia early is important for several reasons, explained Dr Rittman. "When patients begin to experience memory and cognitive problems, this can understandably be a very difficult time. Being able to provide an accurate diagnosis gives them clarity and, depending on the diagnosis, can either ease their minds or help them and their loved ones put preparations in place for the longer term."
There are currently very few drugs available to help treat dementia. One of the reasons that clinical trials often fail is thought to be because once a patient has developed symptoms, it may be too late to make a major difference. Having the ability to identify individuals at a very early stage could therefore help researchers develop new medicines.
If the trial is successful, the algorithm could be rolled out to thousands more patients across the country.

DIY/Renovation, Kitchen Renovation, Renovation
Kitchen Update: Cracked Walls & Plasterboard
So you might have been wondering what's happened with our kitchen renovation. My last proper post on the renovation was some months back now, talking about removing the load bearing wall. We waited for what felt like an eternity for that to happen - so you'd have thought I would have updated you with heaps of progress and already have a kitchen by now. Truth is, whilst we have done heaps. we're still far far from a finished room. After spending days on end - no, make that weeks on end working on the job - the last thing I wanted to do was go and write about it. My motivation and inspiration for home renovating really does come and go - it's hard work keeping at it, spending all our free time on it and often feeling like we're not really getting anywhere. It's always good to take a break and I've done so by distracting myself with a few smaller DIYs which I've been sharing lately on here. But, now it's time to get back into the game - get these posts written and push the renovation through to the end!
So, now let me update you! As I say, we have progressed loads. We've insulated our back wall around the french doors, which I mentioned in a previous post not so long ago and I'm super pleased to share that the other walls are now far less hideous in sight too!
You might remember many months back, we discovered a giant crack in our kitchen wall between us and the neighbour. Actually, it wasn't as horrifying as it sounds - the previous owner of next door had told us about this crack and how she had had the wall investigated when she moved in and had gotten wall ties installed to 'crack stitch' the problem.
Yes, it doesn't look great, I know! This wall was another single-skin wall which means that this crack really is that big all the way through, on both sides of the wall. If the previous owner of next door hadn't fixed up this wall, we would definitely be able to not just see them through this crack, but probably shake hands too. Because this wall is single-skin, it means the wall ties that were installed do benefit the both of us. They sit directly in the centre of the brick, regardless which side of the wall they're installed from. Whilst I've only been told of this work, the evidence it's been carried out is pretty obvious from our side. There's visible resin/mortar that appears to have been injected from their side, which is apparently normal from crack stitching, so my research tells me. If no work had been carried out - we'd definitely be waving to the neighbours right now.
Now, in all honesty - I do still have concerns about this wall. My first reason is that the crack is so wide, I'm not sure crack stitching was necessarily the best option. My research tells me it's used for cracks a few mm's wide - this one's a few cm's! I know this work was carried out by an insurance company and let's face it - they'll do anything to save themselves money on the real costs (apologies if you're reading this and work in insurance!). Secondly, the previous owner of next door had also mentioned how a hairline crack had appeared over the years since then, which to me suggests this wall still has some kind of movement. So, the obvious answer would have been to investigate further - but that costs money we simply didn't have. Digging down into the foundations is a scary prospect and after we learnt our neighbour has an extended basement under this part of the house which is constructed with a brick barrel vaulted ceiling, we were absolutely against it. It's not something we felt confident doing as DIYers and we really really did not have the budget to get the builders back in. - although the advice I did seek from several builders was to leave the wall well alone, digging down could open a whole can of worms. So, we've left the wall in its exact terrible condition.
If this sounds absolutely horrific and you're shouting "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?" at me - Well, let me assure you, this wall has absolutely no structural integrity to this add-on extension. In fact, the wall stops at the ceiling (I know - don't get me started on all the fire regulations that's breaking), the roof doesn't rest upon it in anyway and it really is just a dividing wall between us and our neighbour. In fact, we even wondered whether the wall had once been the old garden wall before the joint extension had been built. Either way, other than separating our spaces, it has no other value, hence why we weren't too overly concerned at its terrible condition. As for the wall ending at the ceiling - yep, we're taking that fire risk with it too. It didn't seem to concern our new neighbours when we mentioned it to them and for us, money really didn't allow yet another detour. We will however be over-boarding the ceiling which will add another layer of fire protection on-top of the existing ceiling and increase its fireproof minutes along with it. I did of course make sure to fill the crack on our side with fresh mortar, pushing it deep through. This isn't exactly going to give much more stability - but it'll hopefully stop any more of the mortar in crack coming out.
So after having decided we weren't going to do anything more to fix the dodgy wall, we needed to decide the best way to work around it without causing more damage. Things like chasing cables into the wall didn't seem a great idea, particularly when I knew I wanted a socket not too far off the crack. Hanging heavy cabinets also seemed dubious (probably also the reason why our neighbour has no wall cabinets too!) and yet we still wanted both these things. So, our first answer was to build a kind of false wall. But then we realised we didn't want to loose oodles of space in the kitchen and stud timber is pretty chunky. So the 'false wall' concept then turned into battening the wall with timber and affixing plasterboard to that. It would mean we could hide cables in the void behind without chopping into the brickwork and any shelves we wanted to hang would then be held over a larger surface area by the timber and plasterboard. And of course, with having timber horizontally, it'll help prevent the wall moving further and hopefully give it a little more support. And with that, a plan in tow - we got to work.
The battens we're using are actually roof battens. They're treated timber, cheap and they were the perfect thickness to fit comfortably fit back boxes for our sockets without having to chisel into the wall. We're using three vertical battens for each plasterboard, fixing them to the wall with heavy duty wall plugs and screws, making sure they line up with the edge of the plasterboards.
We're also using timber horizontally as well in-between the vertical battens - this will provide more locations to screw the plasterboard into and ensure it's properly secure. We'll also be feeding cables through these timbers and they'll help keep cables nice and straight and in line.
We fit enough timber for one length of plasterboard at a time before fitting the plasterboard. Since it's a very old extension with moving walls, they're not exactly perfectly straight (and neither was the wood for that matter!) so attaching each section bit by bit ensured we were properly on track with keeping everything square.
The plasterboard, by the way, is a soundproofing plasterboard. As mentioned before, this wall is single-skin so we do have quite a bit of sound transfer through it (probably not helped by that crack either!). Whilst we have no problem with sound from the neighbours, we are conscious of our yappy dogs - so this is actually something we've chosen to hopefully help them hear less of us. For soundproofing plasterboard to work best, it's recommended for use with insulation - but that's a whole extra cost we can't afford. This stuff wasn't too much more expensive than standard plasterboard so we were prepared to take the gamble and see how well it works without insulation. I'll be sure to keep you updated on that.
We've repositioned the electric sockets as we've gone along the wall too. Obviously the back end of this room used to be a shower room, so had no sockets originally. We've moved one down and added another to the circuit so that we now have three sockets along this side of the wall instead of two. We've also put all the cables through the ceiling so that it's much neater and makes a whole lot more sense. The cables previously came down through the ceiling around the room, and then back up into the ceiling, only to come back down. It was a bit chaotic and clearly a case of having extra sockets added individually over the many many years of this house.
As for the gas pipe - we've had to plasterboard around it the best we could. The plumber had left quite a bit of slack on the pipe so that it could be wiggled away from the wall for the plasterboard to sit behind (we had told him our plans for battening and adding plasterboard before he started work) but we didn't want to cause too much strain on the pipe so we've actually cut the plasterboard around it a little instead. This will all be hidden by the cooker, so I'm not too concerned that it's not the neatest job in the world.
Four boards down and the room now has plasterboard along the left side of the wall! The gap where the old wall used to be is now completely gone and there's becoming less and less evidence of this room ever being two rooms.
We don't plan on plaster-boarding the other side of the room, mainly for cost reasons (plasterboard ain't exactly the cheapest!) but also because it doesn't really need it. Adding plasterboard will cause the window and door to become recessed slightly which then causes issues with adding architrave. and so on. Basically, it makes sense to just skim straight over it - although it's lumpy bumpiness wont be an easy feat.
One of the worst things about renovations (other than the dust) is the unforeseen costs that amount up. This was definitely one of them! It would have been much cheaper and easier to skim straight over the existing wall, but things don't always go to plan I guess. It certainly looks much neater now, I only hope that pesky cracked wall doesn't cause us any issues further down the line. Oh to be a millionaire!
Have you ever had any similar issues with cracked walls?

Keep at it! can't wait to see how it turns out


God speaks…business saved! Learn how.
Business was growing and I was increasing my staff. The Internet services were expanding and we had begun website development and graphic design. It seemed we could do nothing wrong.
Taking Mondays out to read God's Word, pray for my business, staff, suppliers, clients and to strategise had become a key strategy to my business growth. The Bible was the best book that I found that explained how to do business God's way. He taught me so much during those times.
Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds; for riches do not endure forever, and a crown is not secure for all generations.
At that moment God spoke to me. Not in an audible voice but through these words. I was taken by them. There was a quickening to my spirit. I was 'aware' that these two verses were extremely important to me, right there, right then. It was immediate and I knew that it was talking about my business…there was a sense of urgency.
The flocks were my clients… I needed to pay particular attention to them this day…there was an urgency and a strong sense of warning.
I went into my office and pulled up my A-Z client list and began to phone each one, starting with the A's. Within a couple phone calls I had discovered that there was a brutal predatory attack on my client list… the timeframe of offers made to my clients exposed that the poacher was using my A-Z Client List!
Immediately I jumped to the D's and found I had jumped ahead of the predator. Explaining to my clients that there was an active attack on my client base, I was able to secure the remaining clients. I returned to the A-D's and methodically rewarded those who stayed with me and won back as many as I could of those who were enticed away.
Having secured the "flock", my investigations revealed who the perpetrators were.
The businessman was a non-christian man that I had helped to improve his business and to promote him. That is why he knew so much about my own business. I called him into my office and confronted him. He was jealous of my business growth and had decided he wanted to expand his business into web development and Internet hosting, exactly the same as me. He figured that it was easier to undercut my pricing and to steal my client base!
He was non-repentant and happy to brag how he had secured the A-Z list and that "it was just business".
He had 'bribed' a newly hired staff member with a better job offer. After a short discussion on integrity, I fired the staff member… he went to work that day for that businessman and lasted only 3 weeks before he was fired again due to lack of work. Within 8 months the businessman was totally out of business. What goes around, comes around.
At the end of the day, I am so thankful for the intervention by God. He does love each one of us personally and truly desires the very best for each one of us.
Reading God's Word, the Holy Bible, on a daily basis helps us live life in far greater ways than we could ever think or imagine – it is alive and relevant to our lives. More importantly, it helps us understand God's character, His counsel and His wisdom. It draws us intimately closer to our Maker.
