The motion design industry is constantly evolving, albeit slowly. A measurable change is happening.
As the definition of what motion design is and can be evolves, so too does our workforce. Long gone are the days where the vast majority of those working in this field are bearded dudes in flannels with a penchant for tech.
As our field has become less insular, you can now find individuals working within our industry that span the gamut of background and focus, many of whom weren't initially "motion designers" but now find themselves working in this field.
In many ways, Get it Girl embodies much of these changes and where the motion design field is going. Amelia Giller, Audrey Lee ('12 Digital Media), Xoana Herrera, and Kaitlyn Mahoney all come from different backgrounds with different perspectives and are all connected by the amazing quality of their work and above all else their positivity.
In this Motionographer Q&A, we chat with them to find out more about Get it Girl and get an inside look at where some of the best illustration in our industry is coming from!
First, can you tell us a bit about yourselves?
XOANA: I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I was a graphic designer back in my country, and 4 years ago Buck called me and my husband to do an internship in the Los Angeles office. With my suitcase full of fears, and without knowing a single word in English, I started one of the biggest adventures of my life.
AUDREY: I'm an L.A. native illustrator and designer. I went to Otis College of Art and Design majoring in Concept Design where I learned the labor of love in visual development. I have worked at Buck for the past 3 years, and my style ranges in different variations from highly illustrative to very minimal pieces.
AMELIA: I'm originally from Texas. I moved to California for my MFA in animation at USC. I'm an art director at Buck and do a bunch of editorial work for places like Teen Vogue, The New York Times and Nylon. I'm obsessed with my puppy, Spot, who is about 6 months old.
KAITLYN: And I'm a producer originally from Sydney, Australia. I moved to Los Angeles about 4 years ago to pursue a career in production at Buck. I've always loved design and animation, so being able to partner up with these super talented ladies has been a dream!

All coffee beans are edible! Coffee is mostly made out of fibrous cellulose that doesn't digest easily in the human digestive system, so I wouldn't recommend eating a whole bag of espresso beans. However, a few definitely won't hurt you. You won't get the same caffeine jolt you'd get from a cup of coffee either.
Any coffee can be decaffeinated! The decaffeination processes our roasters use removes 99.9 percent of caffeine from coffee. Espresso is usually roasted for longer than non-espresso, creating a roasty flavor profile. You can still roast espresso to an espresso roast no matter the level of caffeine within!
Italians were the first to build and patent espresso machines. The first machine used for making espresso was built and patented by Angelo Moriondo in Turin, Italy in 1884. The original machine consisted of a large boiler that heated water to 1.5 bars of pressure. That pressure pushed the heated water through a bed of coffee grounds, with a second boiler that produced steam that would flash through the bed of coffee and complete the brew cycle. Luigi Bezzera improved upon the original machine with a new patent in 1903 that introduced the portafilter and multiple brewing heads. Desiderio Pavoni bought those patents and improved upon them further still, creating a pressure release valve and steam wand to hold additional steam built up within the boiler. Bezzera and Pavoni debuted their machines at the 1906 Milan Fair, this introducing the world to "cafe espresso".

Every month, Wellington City Libraries acquires new CD's for its large, broad, eclectic collection, and Wellington music is no exception. We regularly inspect Bandcamp, local music websites, trawl music vendors latest releases and check out independent labels like Flying Nun, Arch Hill, Rattle and Lil' Chief for the latest in Wellington and New Zealand music. So, with this influx of mint music in mind, every month we'll provide the latest titles and artists added to our Wellington music collection…
The prince and his madness.
The music of Sean Kelly made under the moniker 'Seth Frightening' is hard to pin down. Released in 2010, and recorded entirely on his laptop, his debut 'The Prince and His Madness' is a beguiling mix of genres and sounds. Moving from the discordant to a fragile clarity, various instruments are layered over the central acoustic guitar that winds through the songs, with glorious double-tracked vocals. Mesmerizing stuff. Seth Frightening is part of the Sonorous Circle label, home to a number of Wellington musicians, including I.Ryoko (the project of co-founder Thomas Lambert), Glass Vaults, and Womb amongst others, and has gone on to become a key figure in the Wellington underground scene.
Everyone needs something to hold on to.
A nice set of melancholic songs helm this 2011 release from singer Timothy Blackman, who runs the Home Alone music collective whose roster includes artists such as French For Rabbits and Eb & Sparrow. The addition of a full band, including cello, mandolin & trumpet add a richer sound spectrum to Blackman's usual lo-fi aesthetic, the cello blending especially well with Blackman's vocals and guitar.
Renegade brass bandits.
Wellington's very own Balkan Gypsy brass extravaganza. Formed eight years ago, the band consists of two trumpets, saxophone, bass and tenor trombones, sousaphone, percussion, Balkan bass drum (tapan) and snare drum merging with vocalist/percussionist, Nikkie Rich, who sings in Serbian, Romani, Macedonian and Greek. Three of their original songs recently featured on the soundtrack to What We Do In The Shadows. 2013s 'Renegade Brass Bandits' is their full length debut following an EP in 2010. Check it out on Bandcamp here. More about the band here.
Lauren King has composed music for over thirty visual media projects, including short films, documentaries and video games, and has worked with a variety of directors and production companies in New Zealand, Australia, US and the UK. After two EP's When Ponyfish Collide (2012), & Moments (2015), she released her first full solo album Inscape in 2015. The album was recorded and produced by Lauren in Island Bay. She wrote & mixed everything herself with Rhian Sheehan lending a hand on one of the tracks. 'Inscape' is full of lush sweeping orchestral/ambient pieces that can be played separately but work much better as a continuous work, at times reminiscent of the soundtrack work of Vangelis. More about Lauren and her music here.
Born in Brixton, and now based in Melbourne, Plum Green grew up in New Zealand & still considers Wellington her home town. She released her first EP in 2008, and followed it in 2010 with The Red EP. 'Rushes' was her first full length debut in 2012, with her latest release the EP Karma coming out last month. Reminiscent at times of the genre-hopping of post-Alanis 90s singers like Poe or Tracy Bonham, 'Rushes' is a great collection of gothic folk-rock, with piano & acoustic ballads mixing easily with heavier tracks. A cadre of local metal musicians give the harder edged tracks a beefier sound and the album was engineered, mixed and mastered by Metal producer extraordinaire Zorran Mendonza. Watch out for the secret track 4 minutes after the album ends. More info about Plum Green & her music here. Plum Green is returning to Wellington for a one-off Easter show at Moon on March 26th. Ticket info here.
Thank you Lord Jesus / The Miti's.
More harmonising from Samoan family group 'The Miti's', consisting of Sonny Miti & his sisters Tiana & Justina. Based in Cannons Creek, they have been singing together for over ten years and have won numerous Gold Guitars at the annual New Zealand Gold Guitar Awards in Gore. This one is strictly a Gospel affair, with a set of traditional & modern faith based songs arranged with a traditional country sound.

January 22, 2013
A Girlfriend Birthday Ballon
Yeap, the same stamp we used a few days ago on another card, but this time I used it for a special Birthday card.
This time I stared with a pink card base. I added a black mat to the front in the center of the card. The image was stamped again with StazOn ink (black). You have to use a permanent ink for any kind of image that you like to color in with watercolors, otherwise you will smooch the image, since regular inks are water-based!
I colored her in with watercolor pens and added pink glitter glue to the heart on the dress. After things were dry, I rounded the corners and added the image into the center of the black piece.
I opened the card and placed it on a cutting mat, the image facing up. I used a craft knife and a metal ruler to cut around the black card stock. You only have to cut from the middle of the top, around the right side and on to the middle of the bottom part. Once the cuts are done, you take the pink frame and folded it back. The start and end cutting point are the beginning of the fold.
A ribbon is holding the flap back in place, but you could also glue it back down if you like.
I placed a piece of design poka-dot paper on the inside and added a piece of white paper for the phrase and a note. To make sure your white paper will disappear behind the front cutout image follow this ....open your card and place the white paper writing face down onto the front cutout seen above. Now close the card by folding the back with the poka-dot paper over the white. This way you will always position it right and out of sight.
If you like a kit of January's card workshop, please contact me for more information......Click here

As a 21 year old working 60hr weeks in two jobs, I fixed a co-worker's PC and received a Thank You card with £30 in – That was my 'This is it!' moment. I've always been technical minded, especially as my Dad was a programmer so I started researching and found a gap in the market installing home WiFi routers (Broadband providers used to provide only a USB modem or a non-WiFi router- neither of which were very good!)
I took the plunge and went self-employed with a makeshift office in a garage. I'd travel around customer's homes, replacing their broadband equipment with better performing, wireless-enabled devices. It was brilliant to see satisfied families able to use all their laptops and desktop computers (2005 flashback) on the WiFi and this ignited my passion to focus on improving people's lives with technology.
Shortly after, I started receiving enquiries from businesses looking for the above service so I started studying servers and their operating systems, qualifying in a Microsoft course in 2008.
From there, I opened retail shops focusing on laptop repairs etc.
This year saw a big increase on the B2B side – meaning I could continue improving the way people work in business using technology.
Over the past 10 years I've been joined by William and John (both of whom are now Directors and Owners of the company). William is brilliant with the introduction of innovative and new technology, ensuring our customers take full advantage, including Office 365 and the Cloud. John is the man with the finance brain and ensures we stay cash-flow positive and keeps our budget planning in check and ensures clients aren't paying too much for licenses and services.
We've now moved into bigger premises (see here) and designed our office exactly to our work and culture specifications. We solely focus on making our customers lives better with technology"
The rest, as they say, is History!
The world of IT is ever changing with technology advancements (we're still waiting on the flying cars though) and we're proud to be on top of it. One step ahead is where you'll find us, we embrace change and never want to stop learning or innovating.
Displaying Solidarity is essential to every working relationship and Teamwork for us means just that. Everyone chips in from ideas to problem solving and everything in between.
Gone are the days of IT nerds and dark basement rooms (think Channel 4, IT Crowd?) That's not us! Our office is brightly lit, and our conversation skills are top notch- we promise we're a pretty friendly and approachable bunch.
We're fully tuned into our customer needs and wants. We know we demand excellent customer service from start to finish so we're adamant we provide exactly that for you too by putting ourselves into your shoes. We've even got some amazing testimonials to back that up if you fancy a gander…

A 20-year-old man was charged last week with burglarizing four businesses and an attempted arson at a school,
Pocono Mountain Regional police said. Talid D. Broxton, of Tobyhanna, was charged with arson and risking catastrophe and four counts each of burglary, criminal trespassing and criminal mischief and three counts each of receiving stolen property, theft and loitering and prowling at night.
He was arraigned and sent to Monroe County Correctional Facility under $50,000 bail.
Police said the burglary spree began on Dec. 28 when they responded to burglar alarms at the Liberty Mini Mart and Stogies Smoke Shop on Route 196 in Coolbaugh Township. Both businesses had the front glass broken out and police discovered that someone entered the businesses and took the cash registers.
Two days later police were dispatched to a burglar alarm at Smoking Cools in the Carriage Square Shopping Center in Coolbaugh Township. That business also had the glass to the front door broken out and its cash register stolen.
On Jan. 26, police were called to the Subway, also at the Carriage Square Shopping Center, for a similar theft of a cash register.
Weeks later, on March 17, police were sent to an attempted arson at a school attached to the Shawnee Tabernacle Church in Tobyhanna. Police found that someone had broken the windows out of the annex trailers attached to the school and attempted to light them on fire.
Police said through the investigation, Broxton was developed as a suspect in all the burglaries and the attempted arson. Police served a search warrant at his home and found evidence linked to all the crimes, police said. Police did not say what the evidence was that they found or how they linked Broxton to the crimes.

Be the first to leave a review for Equilibrium Health Centre.
What do you love most about your job?
Seeing such positive changes in people's health. When clients enter the clinic in pain and walk out with a beaming smile, it brightens our whole day!
I'm so grateful to all clients who have used our services, and ever hopeful that we can reach out to welcome those who have yet to do so.
What inspired you to start your own business?
For many years working in several London clinics I harboured the ambition of one day opening my own multi-disciplinary complementary medicine centre. My family and I moved to East Sussex in 1999 - my wife found the ideal premises (an oak-beamed listed building in the heart of the town, less than 2 minutes walk from the station).
We refurbished the entire interior & created new rooms, installed comfortable new couches, installed wall to wall 100% wool carpeting and painted the entire clinic with 100% organic paint. We gathered together a wonderful team of dedicated practitioners and friendly receptionists - and we are delighted that many are still with us 17 years later!
Our idea was to create a warm, friendly, clean, organic environment for people to enjoy coming for treatments, and for therapists to love coming to work. So when in May 2000 we opened the doors, it was with bated breath that we awaited the public's response…
Now, over 16 years later, we've gone from strength to strength, made many friends and built links with local GPs, who are now confident to refer patients to us.
We always ask new clients if they have any ideas or suggestions for improvements to the service they've received, and we're starting to get regular feedback in the form of 4 and 5 star reviews using FreeIndex. I am confident, too, that we will continue to grow - and look forward to welcoming you if you come to see us.
Why should our clients choose you?
We're an award-winning complementary medicine & alternative healthcare centre. We're proud of our enormous range of treatments, classes & workshops. We pride ourselves in doing the best we can, and always aim to exceed expectations - it's the best way to be appreciated!
Our team of 28 professional practitioners offer Acupuncture, Allergy Testing, Aromatherapy, Counselling, Facials, Hypnotherapy, Massage, NLP, Nutrition, Osteopathy, Physiotherapy, Reflexology, Reiki, Shiatsu, Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi and loads more…
...Oh, and we're open 7 days a week!

Buck Sexton is riding solo in this 73rd episode of Stansberry Investor Hour, where he dives right into the latest political controversy – Elizabeth Warren's DNA test revealing herself to be anywhere from 1/64th to 1/1,024 Native American.
Besides the silliness of the "Fauxcohontas" story, it's one of the most remarkable acts of political selfishness of our times, coming as it does 21 days before the midterm elections and starting a conversation Democrats don't want to be having.
On the other side of the spectrum, there's the Khashoggi debacle. Buck describes some tendencies the murdered journalist had you probably won't hear described in the mainstream media, from the Muslim Brotherhood to interactions with bin Laden.
Later on, buck welcomes this week's guest: Dr. Sebastian Gorka, the deputy assistant and strategist to President Trump, and author of the new book Why We Fight.
Dr. Sebastian Gorka
Announcer: Broadcasting from Baltimore, Maryland and New York City, you're listening to The Stansberry Investor Hour. Tune in each Thursday on iTunes for the latest episode of the Stansberry Investor Hour. Sign up for the free show archive at InvestorHour.com. Here are the hosts of your show, Buck Sexton and Porter Stansberry.
Buck Sexton: Hello, everybody. Welcome to another fantastic episode of the Stansberry Investor Hour. I am nationally syndicated radio host, TV personality, and general debonair man about town Buck Sexton. I do not have with me this week the usual cast of characters. I do not have the one and only Mr. Porter Stansberry which is obviously very, very disappointing. I don't even have Country Club Guy because they have whole kingdoms to run and things to do.
So this week you just get me. You get the finance student and the politics experts, although I guess everybody these days is a politics expert, so what does that even really mean? We are gonna get into some of the latest news of the week. I'll talk to you a bit about the meltinar that's coming up and my expectations for what we might get to talk about there, and we'll get into some mail bag. We also think, we hope we may have a very special guest joining, but yeah, this is gonna be a little bit of a different show 'cause I don't even have Country Club Guy to make sure that we keep it on the rails. He had to last-minute go check out something else.
We've got an awesome show for you. We've got amazing things to talk about. Let's just say that at a minimum we will get into the Elizabeth Warren controversy, also known as "Fauxcahontas." We'll talk about the Khashoggi debacle, and then when I'm expecting in the midterms. We'll maybe discuss a little meltinar, we've got our special guest, and maybe who knows, maybe Country Club Guy will realize that he's leaving me in the trenches taking grenades here and he'll call in just to say hi or something. Who knows? It's a wild, wild world we live in.
So I just wanna start for those of you who aren't totally up to speed on this with what must've been the most blatant, unnecessary, unexpected political own goal, political self-inflicted wound I have ever seen in my life, and that is Elizabeth Warren, democrat, senator from the state of Massachusetts, a state where I actually went to college, so I understand the loony liberalism well of much of Massachusetts.
Elizabeth Warren has had this problem for a while. She's a big progressive. She's a wannabe Bernie-ista, definitely gets right in line there with Bernie Sanders, free college, the rich, anybody with money to invest. So all of you listening, Elizabeth Warren not big fan of yours, okay? Neither is Bernie. Definitely wanna take more of your earnings, more of your bank account.
So Warren has had this whole thing going on for a while where she is a champion of the people. That's what she's always been doing. She's doing the kind of Marxist populist thing, and she is generally considered one of the biggest contenders for the 2020 election on the democrat side. People like Elizabeth Warren on the left, and I'm not a fan. I don't find her charming, I don't find her interesting, I don't find her smart, but other people like her.
She had been a professor at Harvard Law and then had managed to parlay that into a Senate seat up in Massachusetts, very, very blue state of Massachusetts, but she's been dogged for a while by a controversy. That controversy is that Elizabeth Warren had claimed on many, many, many forms, forms that one fills out for the purposes of being at a university, college stuff, in the law school directory and so officially speaking, the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard had listed Elizabeth Warren as a Native American.
Now if you've ever seen Elizabeth Warren you would say, well, that is about as white as a Midwestern woman or any woman for that matter could possibly be. She is as white as white gets. So it struck some people as quite strange that she in fact was claiming Native American heritage. And as you know, because of the obsession with diversity on college campuses and in the curriculum, if you are in fact Native American you have a huge advantage when it comes to getting hired or getting into the school as an applicant if you're a student.
So everyone saw this and thought, okay, this is pretty clear she gamed the system. And she has fought back against this publicly for quite some time, and President Trump has very memorably gone out on the campaign trail and called her Fauxcahontas. She's Pocahontas. I think he's called her a "fake Indian." I mean he has been hammering her on this, essentially saying that the senator from Massachusetts who is one of the five most likely in most of the polls that I see democratic nominees for 2020 had committed not just racial fraud but really built her career on racial fraud. That is in fact what the allegations.
And so she figured – I can't make this up – she figured that the best thing to do would be to go through some sort of a DNA test or to have somebody do a background investigation of her lineage and then release those results. Now nobody was forcing her to do this. This isn't like, oh, there's a longstanding – this isn't like presidential candidates with their tax returns or anything else. This isn't a situation where she was responding to a public clamor.
We are weeks away from a midterm election. The republicans are hoping to – and we'll talk more about this in a few moments – the republicans are hoping to keep the House. I think they will keep the Senate. I think they actually will gain seats in the Senate, but it's gonna be tough for them to hold the House. And for Elizabeth Warren to not wait until after the midterms to do this just seems like malpractice on its face.
But the bigger problem was that she released this analysis of her heritage done by some academic who's famous for either looking at the lineage of people from migratory flows and she essentially proved beyond any reasonable doubt, Elizabeth Warren proved that she is not only not Native American, she is less Native American than most if not all of you listening to this broadcast. That Donald Trump himself is likely to be more Native American than Elizabeth Warren, because Elizabeth Warren's DNA or her heritage or background based upon family tree and all this other stuff is anywhere from 1/64th to 1/1,024th Native American.
If it is in fact 1/1,024th Native American, if it goes back ten generations, and we're talking about somebody who was saying she had a Native American ancestor around the time of the pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock, that's a long time. By the way, nothing but white people in-between that, just lots and lots of generations of white people, and that's a best case scenario.
Now you would think that if she saw those results, especially because nobody was forcing her, this wasn't like a polygraph and she had agreed to take it and she couldn't back out. You would think that if she saw those results her next move would probably be to say, "Okay, you know what? I'm just gonna keep quiet about this", but no.
In political malpractice that is on a level I've never seen before, Elizabeth Warren decided to drop these DNA results, those of you familiar with the "drop the mic", right? She's like, "I'm gonna drop the mic. I've got these DNA results and now we can finally put it to rest this controversy. I do have Native American heritage." She did, and this is what they said, "have strong evidence" that there was Native American background for Elizabeth Warren.
And then when she released the actual information it was insane. It was laughable. It was preposterous. She is likely not even vaguely Native American. She does not belong to any established tribe. The tribes do keep registers. They do keep track of this. She was based on the overall U.S. white population less Native American then most average white folks in this country. Six to ten generations back she may have had a Native American ancestor, and they didn't even compare her DNA to Native American DNA.
They compared her DNA to the DNA of people from Central and South America under the academic explanation that when the people who crossed the Bering Strait during the Ice Age when you could do that, that they are similar, and so the DNA of people in Central and South America essentially is close enough to the DNA of people in Native American communities in America, and so blah, blah, sure, let's say that this means it's analogous for Native American DNA. It's just crazy. It's crazy.
Any normal human being would read the results she put out and say, "Uh, so you're telling us you're definitely not Native American." And remember, folks, this is not some random person. This is somebody who wants to be the next President of the United States, oh and specifically, 'cause I know it's the Investor Hour, who wants to tax the crap out of all of you listening to this. I mean just go to the next level. If she wants to go 70 percent capital gains tax I'm sure she'd be down for it.
She doesn't ever really talk numbers because if she did it's like the Bernie Sanders problem. "It's gonna be free school, it's gonna be free college, free everything, free housing, free healthcare." "Excuse me, Mr. Sanders, that's gonna cost about $30 trillion." "$30 trillion? Whoa, that's a lot of money." All of a sudden his whole thing starts to fall apart and he's not really able to make sense of it all anymore. So Elizabeth Warren had the media initially running these stories of, "Yeah, she put it out there. She's quieting Trump with her results. She's taking steps to silence."
And everyone goes, taking steps to silence? She's giving Trump a gift. She's giving the republicans a gift. Here's one of their most prominent far left progressive politicians in the country who apparently has no ability to do basic math, has no understanding of probability, generally socialists aren't good at math, it's true. She's holding this out there like she's done some great service and she's proven that – it's just insane.
And then it forced people to look back into her life story a little bit more and they figured, oh, hold on a second, you mean to tell me that you claim – this is true, by the way, for the control, and they might've heard this one – Elizabeth Warren, senator from Massachusetts, white as white can be, and now we know based on her DNA, too, submitted a recipe to a cookbook of Native American cuisine called, I'm not making this up, Powwow Chow. She listed herself "Elizabeth Warren, Cherokee" when she submitted the recipe to Powwow Chow, which is just fun to say, and it's a real thing which is amazing in and of itself.
Not only did she do all that, the recipes she submitted involve crab and fresh tarragon and was stolen from a French cookbook, and she just plagiarized a recipe from a French cookbook and said that it was a Native dish that had been passed down in her family, and she sent it into Powwow Chow. So she was really living this fantasy life of Elizabeth Warren, Cherokee, she really was, and sure enough she's now been called out on it.
By the way, I think her political aspirations are done. I think she's finished. I do not think that we will be entering a world where Elizabeth Warren can be anything other than a senator from very, very blue, very, very left-wing Massachusetts. It was just remarkable this week. I mean Trump was, oh, he was on Twitter, he was calling her "Pocahontas" and "fake Indian." I mean he was throwing everything at her.
It just goes to show you, if you're gonna make a big play like that, you better read the fine print. You better know what you're doing. That's what I got for you on Elizabeth Warren. Now let's talk about Khashoggi. Some of you are probably much more interested in this story.
So just by way of quick backstory in case you're not up to speed on this one, and again, those of you who want financial insight and information, go to the meltinar. Go to BuckEvent.com, that way I'll get credit for it. See what I'm doing here? Cross-pollination. BuckEvent.com you can sign up for the meltinar. So you're gonna hear from Dr. Steve Sjuggerud, he's one of the smartest guys out there, on October 24th.
So really what I'm telling you is if you want your financial insight for this week, sign up for that meltinar event. Here's the abbreviated version of what we're gonna be talking about. There have been these melt-up moments, these huge surges in the market when everything is going up and things are going up so fast and people think oh my gosh, oh my gosh, I can't keep going, but I'm gonna get in anyway. Well, you've got to understand if you're gonna get in, when to get in, what to get in on, and how to get out.
It's one thing to say, "Oh, the market is going crazy, it's going up." Okay, fine, but people like me, a novice investor just learning from the Stansberry folks, I'm learning from the best, which is cool. I am the Daniel San to the Mr. Miyagi, but I'm learning as I go through and the meltinar event is gonna lay it all out for you, and it couldn't be at a more important time because this market really, really, really shoots up, there's an opportunity to make a tremendous amount of money for folks, but if the market then has that huge correct that people have been worried about for a while, you wanna make sure you don't get caught up on that.
So that's October 24th. That's when that event is gonna be, so please, BuckEvent.com. Sign up for that and you will be joining us.
So on to politics national security, might be things I actually know about. So you got Khashoggi who is this – people refer to him as a journalist. He writes opinion columns. He's a Saudi national with some very interesting and some would say somewhat troubling ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Also had met and been acquainted with Bin Laden back in the old days of the Soviet Afghan War, had some very close personal ties to the Saudi regime. He was writing opinion columns sometimes for the Washington Post.
Anyway, he's in Turkey a couple weeks ago and he goes into the consulate. He's trying to get a divorce finalized. He wants to get remarried. He goes into a Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey. Never comes out, and his fiancé is waiting outside. Fiancé is actually there and realizing that something has gone very, very wrong. Since that has happened we've had all this reporting including from the Turkish government saying that they have proof of this.
Now we haven't seen the proof and you can't trust the Turkish government really, either. You can't trust the Saudis, can't trust the Turks. Even our own government gets it wrong sometimes. So we're still in the phase of really figuring out what's going on here, but I can tell you that the overwhelming bulk of the reporting on this suggests that Khashoggi was murdered, cut up into pieces, and his body disposed of, and may have been tortured before he was murdered. And the Turks are saying that there's video and even audio to prove this, and this is so beyond the pale.
Of all the places for this to happen, international relations, for a consulate to be used as an abattoir, for a consulate to be used to chop up and murder somebody because they're a dissonant, he had been a critic of the Saudi regime, I would note not the harshest critic, not the most vocal, not the one that was necessarily hitting closest to home, but he had been a critic of the Saudi regime for quite some time and also knew them pretty well, had personal connection to them. So we don't even know what the beef is here, what spawned this terrible event.
I mean I'm 99 percent certain he was murdered. Remember, Saudi Arabia is where they hack people's heads off in the public square with a semetar still. They do that. That's how they execute people. Homosexuality punishable by I believe death, certainly punishable by a public flogging. Christianity; you can't build any churches in Saudi Arabia. Can't have any other faith that is expressed publicly in Saudi Arabia. It is a totalitarian regime. It just happens to have a lot of oil and we've been selling them a lot of missiles and a lot of munitions for a long time, and now we get into the what are we gonna do about it?
Bipartisan lack of courage in challenging the Saudis in any meaningful way. This has been stretching back for decades. Now because, for those of you who are _____ energy sector you already know this, because of the shale oil revolution and the fact that you have global oil prices at such a lower level compared to where they were, what? See, this is where I need P here in the house so he can tell me. It was probably early 2000s it was dropping very, very high, and now because of oil prices a lot of these petrol states, Saudi Arabia, Russia, they don't have the same geopolitical sway that they once did.
They're in a very different place now, and that means that we have this moment of, hold on a second, we can have a very different relationship with the Saudi regime. We can have a very different way forward with them as a partner in the Middle East. The Saudis have been the biggest exporters of terrorist ideology, of Islamic radicalism in the world, period. Saudi Arabia is number one even more so than Iran. In terms of terrorist training it's probably in – well, right now it's Pakistan is where the most terrorists are getting trained, although Syria is up there.
There's a lot of places unfortunately where there's radicalism being taught and added to that skillset of being a terrorist, but what's a – and also here I would wanna speak for Porter if I could, but I can't. I have a feeling though he would say how much do we really wanna make this our problem? If the Saudis wanna act in this brutal fashion, remember this is not a U.S. citizen. It is not on U.S. soil. How much is this really our problem? Sure we should condemn it. It's disgusting, it's barbaric, it's terrible. Barbaric and terrible things happen all over the world.
Saudi regime on a regular basis engages in barbaric behavior. This is the same country where a girls' school was on fire and the Muthawas, which is the religious police there, locked the gates. They couldn't escape and girls died, burned to death, or got a smoke inhalation, young girls, 'cause they didn't want them to get out of the building without properly covering themselves. So Saudi is a totalitarian hellhole in many ways.
I know it's very wealthy and people say, "Oh, Buck, no, but the U.S. compound is there and people have spent a lot of time there telling me that there's drinking and _____ and all that." Yeah, but I'm talking about what's out in the open and what's official government policy. So what's a proper response to this Khashoggi phenomenon now? What do we do?
No one really has any answers yet. you've had Secretary of State Pompeo go over to Saudi Arabia and ask them about it. He doesn't seem like he's all that confident that he's gonna get the straight scoop. People are very concerned that it's gonna forever change not just America but the world's relationship with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammad Bin Salman, MBS. MBS is 33 years old and sure, if you were to actually gauge his net worth he's probably one of the richest people in the world, and he, not the king, the king is an old, decrepit guy, doesn't really do much anymore. He's trying to keep breathing, but Mohammad Bin Salman is the guy who's been running things and he had this whole charm offensive.
Remember, Trump's first foreign visit was Saudi Arabia. So he has this whole charm offensive going on, Mohammad Bin Salman, where he's trying to say that there's gonna be reforms and the Saudi king is gonna change. Well, never mind the reform is not coming fast enough. If in fact this is what really happened here, that MBS himself ordered this hit of this guy in a consulate in Turkey and the torture and the execution and all this in a diplomatic facility, the world is never gonna look at him the same way.
Big companies, Google, I think Facebook, a whole bunch of really big important powerful companies were supposed to go to what they call "Davos in the desert." So there was gonna be this big meet of all these movers and shakers particularly in the world of finance and all these corporations are gonna be there, and you're gonna have the Saudis playing host for this 'cause they're trying to say, "Look, we're kind of like the UAE now. We're modern, we're advanced, we're developing. This is the new Saudi Arabia."
Well, looks like the new Saudi Arabia is a lot like the old Saudi Arabia, and this could mean that there are economic actions taken. I don't know what they'll be, and now I can try to tie this a little bit for you into what you may see as a result of this. Remember, this is politics pushing economics now, which happens all the time. This may be a situation where you might see something, there could be something that affects our defense industry a little bit if we don't sell these arms, right? These are places where you can see this crossover between politics and economics, which as you know then make a very, very big difference in how these markets go.
I mean just look at trade with China and what's going on there. So we'll have to watch the Khashoggi thing. I believe that we're really just gonna keep this in the realm of diplomacy. There will be a strongly-worded statement, "Saudi shouldn't do this" and people will never look at the Saudi regime quite the same way, but I don't think we're gonna expel the Saudi ambassador from this country. I just don't see this happening.
Here's one other thing I just wanna put in the mix. We need Saudi Arabia to be our Sunni Arab counterweight to the Shia Muslim Iranian state in the Middle East now. That's now our kind of great game geopolitical balance that we're trying to strike. We need a strong well-armed Saudi regime so that the Iranians don't get too big for their britches so to speak.
Now is that a sound strategy? No. Has U.S. policy in the Middle East been essentially one long running series of debacles after another? Yes. Absolutely. So do I think that we even should be in this paradigm of, "Oh, well we need Saudi, we need this friend because of Iran"? I don't know, probably not, but that's where we are right now.
One more thing. The Saudis have a tremendous amount of leverage in this country because of their investments in companies, including media companies, gives them a lot of say and a lot of power behind the scenes. They also have been very aggressive with their efforts to do public relations, lobbying. They've given a tremendous amount of money to some of the most prominent U.S. universities.
That's why it's been really interesting. People have been asking, "Buck, who can we get on air? Who can we get on your show that's a really great prominent critic of Saudi Arabia? Who's the main voice that's out there really taking the Saudis to task?" You know what the answer is? There isn't one. That's by design. The Saudis are crafty about how they engage in this public relations game.
So keep an eye on this Khashoggi situation. I know from contacts in the White House that this is top of the list of immediate concerns for what the responses are gonna be coming out of the White House, and this could have some real effects on American markets and what's gonna go on with like I said arms sales. Will it affect energy? Probably not, but certainly if you've got a multi-multi billion dollar arms deal that's supposed to conclude between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, and people are saying that should be pulled back. That's in jeopardy. That could have some impact. That could mean something.
All right, Stansberry Investor Hour folks, we have with us a very special guest this week, Dr. Sebastian Gorka. He was a deputy assistant and strategist to President Trump. He's also the author of the new book which I have a copy of, I highly recommend it to all of you Why We Fight. Dr. Gorka, good to see you.
Dr. Sebastian Gorka: Great to be back. Thanks for having me, Buck.
Buck Sexton: So the book; tell me about what brought you to write it and what folks listening need to know.
Dr. Sebastian Gorka: Well, I was brought into the White House as a kind of – Bill O'Reilly called me the utility infielder for national security, and you know better than most once you get inside the machine and you have the clearances and you start reading the classified material you see things a little bit differently.
So my eyes were open to the threats that are out there, and my last book Defeating Jihad focused on ISIS and Al Qaeda, and now I wanted to do the big picture on everything, all the threats we face as a nation, China, Russia, Iran, you name it, global jihadists, and talk about what the _____ _____ defeat them, and in the middle of that include some stories of great American heroes through the years, some who we've forgotten such as Whittaker Chambers during the Cold War, and some great names like Chester Puller who's a legend from the Marine Corps to re-instill in us that belief in our country being the greatest on God's earth.
Buck Sexton: Now the full title is Why We Fight: Defeating America's Enemies with No Apologies. Who is the single biggest enemy for America right now that we need to be concerned about?
Dr. Sebastian Gorka: Well, if you look at the last two years it's clear the President has a plan and he's dealing with North Korea. We may see peace break out there imminently. Iran is being put back in its box thanks to the crushing defeat of ending the JCPOA Iran deal. Even Russia is being managed, but the biggest threat, the only strategic level threat we face is China. China has an avowed plan to displace America by the 100th anniversary of the Chinese communist revolution in 2049, and it's called One Belt One Road.
It's not even classified. You can go online and read it, and they are using every means possible, not just military but diplomatic, economic, trade related, espionage, to undermine America, but the good news is Donald J. Trump our 45th commander-in-chief gets it and he's taking action.
Buck Sexton: Now you're speaking to an audience, Dr. G, of a whole lot of very sophisticated investors, mostly U.S.-based but also all over the world, and they're seeing what's happening now with China with some degree of trepidation. From a purely economic and finance standpoint it's disruptive, this president is disruptive on a whole bunch of things, but disruption can unsettle the markets, can make folks feel a little on edge. What should people that are concerned about Trump's approach to China know? I mean you were a strategist in the White House. How is he playing this game and how do you think it ends when it comes to China?
Dr. Sebastian Gorka: The most important message to your listeners is that this is about the long game. If all you care about are the shareholder reports at your next quarterly meeting then you're quite happy facilitating the rise of China. But when you realize what China does to American businesses, not just in terms of stealing our intellectual property but in terms of forced IP acquisition if you wanna do business in China, then you realize that right now the way things are going China will eat your lunch. Sooner or later whoever you are, doesn't matter whether you're Google or Apple, they will take your profits away from you.
What we're talking about with Donald Trump is redressing the international trade relations. If you wanna do business with China that's okay, but it's gotta be fair and it's gotta be transparent. That's all we are talking about, and the last thing to reassure them is that China needs America much, much more than we need them.
Buck Sexton: Now if Trump is successful with China, could you foresee a situation where it actually leads to even greater prosperity certainly on our side of things, which is most importantly, but do you think it could be better for China in the long-run to actually stop these predatory behaviors in its business practices?
Dr. Sebastian Gorka: If you follow the evolution of the strategic culture of the Chinese nation since the Han Dynasty took over, you understand that this is not just another country. This isn't Belgium or Luxembourg. This isn't even Germany. This is a country whose elite and culturally a large proportion of the population see the rest of the world as subcultural, as not as developed as they are, and they wish to dominate, and they wish to have a relationship with you as either a satellite interest like North Korea or a tributary state.
We're not gonna change that millennia-old attitude. We just have to have them, when they're doing business with us, behave properly. So that can be to the mutual benefit of both parties, but right now we have to stop the predatory behavior.
Buck Sexton: You're very close with the President. You worked alongside him. You're somebody who was an early Trump supporter and confidante back in the primary. To everyone listening, what should they know about this president that they're not getting from the overwhelming media coverage? What could you tell us about some insight into the man?
Dr. Sebastian Gorka: That's a great question. If you read Why We Fight you'll get a picture of who the real Donald Trump is. He is genuine. When you see him in public he's exactly the same behind closed doors. The most important characteristics of this man is he's a pragmatist and he's a patriot, and also very important in terms of predicting the future development of policies, he owes nothing to anybody. He didn't win thanks to the GOP. He won despite the GOP. He doesn't owe anything to the democrats.
So this is a man who can take decisions that are in the best interest of the United States, and the motto I used when I was in the White House, I used the Marine Corps motto from one of our divisions and it is "No better friend, no worse enemy" and that's a very good description of Donald Trump and the White House under his administration.
Buck Sexton: The book is Why We Fight: Defeating America's Enemies with No Apologies. It's out now. I've got a copy. I recommend you all pick it up, too, bookstores or of course on Amazon. Dr. Sebastian Gorka, always good to talk to you, my friend. Thank you for making the time for us.
Dr. Sebastian Gorka: Thank you. God bless. Anytime.
Buck Sexton: There you have it, folks, from somebody who has been a real insider in the White House and has some real insight into the decision-making in the Trump administration and where the strategy is going and what comes next, so there you have it from Dr. Gorka himself. By the way, pick up the book. Dr. Gorka is a great guy and I think you'll really enjoy it.
Oh, I've got some quick political thoughts. Some of you are like, "Buck, what about this stock?" Hey, I don't know anything about that stock, so that's why I stick with what I know. What I do know is that you should all check out the meltinar as I said that's coming up. It's gonna be on the 24th of October. Just go to BuckEvent.com, you'll see it there, BuckEvent.com. Check it out and you will see for yourself what you need to know about the markets. This is gonna be huge and I'm excited to be a part of it.
Politics. Okay, here's the thing. The Kavanaugh bump is real. Republicans are fired up. They are going to show up at the polls in higher numbers they would have otherwise because they realize what is at stake. I spoke to Donald Trump Jr. about this yesterday. He says that the enthusiasm is on fire on the right now, and that means that you're gonna have most likely a pickup of I'd say two to three senate seats for the GOP.
Everyone says that the GOP is gonna lose the House. Very possible that will be the case, but I like to think I'm an optimist and so I think that they might just squeak out holding their majority. If you're a probability guy, if you're a betting man I wouldn't bet on that, but I think they can and I hope they can. With that, let's get into the mail bag.
If you wanna send us some thoughts, [email protected] Whatever questions, whatever burning issues were front of mind that you did not get to share with our fearless leader Mr. Porter Stansberry this week you should send in to the [email protected] portal or email address. Not portal, Buck, gosh, get with it. We'll be able to read it, get to it, and hopefully get to it on air.
Okay, we try to respond to everyone, even the hurtful ones, sad ones. Email number one, Rusty writes, "Hi, Porter and Buck. It was a real treat to hear a brief clip of both Porter and Buck's Vegas presentation. Buck, I was literally blown away by your speech. You're good off the cuff in both podcast setting and on the radio, however you're outstanding when it comes to a thoughtfully prepared speech in both content and delivery. Bravo." Thank you so much, Rusty. You're a very kind man. I appreciate it.
Email number two for this week, "Hi from a paid-up Alliance member. Buck, do you see any outcome from the increasing political divide other than eventual dissolution of the union civil war?" from Paul. Paul, I don't think we're heading towards civil war, but I do think that it's gonna get uglier before it gets better, and I think that the only way that you can get a reset of what is a tendency toward leftist radicalism in this country for the democrat party is if Trump wins reelection and they essentially get tired of losing and realize that the country is not all about bathroom use policy and redistribution of wealth and identity politics and all this other crap that progressive left is obsessed with.
That's when I think you may have a change and a move back to the center. I hope it does not have to get violent before then, although there has already been some violence as we know, an attempted mass assassination of conservative members of congress in Alexandria, Virginia about 15 months ago. Hopefully nothing like that will happen again, but there will be a reset. I just think the reset will come toward the center from the left if Trump wins reelection.
That's gonna be it for this episode of The Investor Hour. Remember, BuckEvent.com is a way to get to the meltinar, and let's impress all the folks by using Buck's special URL there so then Porter and Country Club Guy are like, "Hey, Buck is doing a good job. We should keep him around." BuckEvent.com; that'll take you there.
By the way, the meltinar event is where you get to hear from Dr. Steve Sjuggerud and Porter and all the experts at Stansberry on finance. I'm just telling you how to get to it. I'm just basically the guy that's giving you directions this week, BuckEvent.com. Love us or hate us, folks, just don't ignore us. Thank you as always for listening, and next week we'll have the full crew back. I've already got a really cool guest in mind, so be sure to tune in. We'll talk to you then.
Announcer: Thank you for listening to the Stansberry Investor Hour. To access today's notes and receive notice of upcoming episodes, go to InvestorHour.com and enter your email.

Rubber Duck Regatta raised over $1M to fight hunger
For the third consecutive years, over $1 million was raised during Cincinnati's Rubber Duck Regatta.
Organizers said Wednesday that 165,325 ducks were sold at the Sept. 4 event, raising $1,082,067.
The 22nd annual Rubber Duck Regatta is the Freestore Foodbank's largest fundraiser.
Watch: 165,000 rubber ducks dumped into Ohio River
Each duck cost $5, which translates into 15 meals for children in need. The sponsors of the event pay for all of the expenses, meaning 100 percent of the donations goes straight to those meals.
A crane hoisted a semi-trailer over the Purple People Bridge and dumped the thousands of yellow ducks into the water along Cincinnati's Serpentine Wall.
Seven ducks were plucked from the river and chosen as winners. View this year's winners here.

Would you like to learn something new in a new way? Learn with a Librarian is a lightly facilitated study group where participants can meet with a group of like-minded people to take an online course together with our free-to-patrons Universal Class.Our first session will be facilitated by technical services librarian Kevin Robbitts, who will be leading Bird Watching 101. The group will meet on Wednesdays April 10th, 24th, & May 8th from 1:30 - 2:30 pm in the library study room just off of the Teen area.Course Description
Who do you think benefits the most from feeding and observing wild birds - the birds or us? People of all ages, from all walks of life, study birds with interests that range from occasional pleasure viewing to an outright passion resulting in lengthy trips and major investments. But one thing all bird watchers share is the excitement generated when a particular bird of interest or rarity is spotted -- similar to the thrill of the hunt, it satisfies our need to discover. Unlike traditional hunting, however, bird watching is about admiring the beauty of the birds in their natural habitats. Bird watching is such an exciting world to explore. Amazing birds can even be found in your own backyard! There is a great deal of joy derived from an afternoon spent watching these beautiful creatures. Many families participate in bird watching across generations, with grandparents and grandchildren often finding a shared interest when they are bird watching together.This self-paced online course covers bird identification and location, feeding, types of birdhouses, equipment, emergency care and behavior and habitats. Whether you are a casual backyard bird watcher or a serious enthusiast, you'll soon discover that the more you watch birds the more you will want to learn about them.The class is 11 Lessons & will take about 5 Hours to complete at a pace chosen by each patron.While we encourage anyone to enjoy the course online, we ask that those interested in attending the study group register at the front desk.
Eleanor Dunfey-Freiburger will visit the Lane Library on Tuesday, March 26th at 6:30 PM to present her new book Counter Culture: Clams, Convents and a Circle of Global Citizens. This recently published memoir is an uplifting story of her family's origins as mill workers with 12 children to feed, who built a hospitality empire from a luncheonette and fried clam stand into what would eventually grow to be the Omni International Hotels. The author's profits from the sale of this book will go to the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur who have served immigrant communities at St Patrick's School, Lowell, MA, for 167 years. (For those who attend, be sure to ask Eleanor about the Dunfey family connection to our very own Lamie's Inn in Hampton.)
"This spirited and spiritual journey of the Dunfey family is shared in loving, often humorous stories that reach from a mill town in America to townships in South Africa. Thank God for parents who inspired their twelve children to make a difference in our world." — Archbishop Emeritus Desmond and Mrs. Leah Tutu
"If you want to learn how to achieve in business, faith, social justice, and politics ... then this is the book for you." —Monica McWilliams, founder of Women's Coalition Party, Northern Ireland, and global advocate for human rights

She is a graduate of Emmanuel College in Boston and the University of San Francisco and was a Sister of Notre Dame de Namur for thirteen years.

The locally published coffee table book Ten Piscataqua Photographers features the portfolios of 10 regional fine art photographers. Prints from these portfolios will be on display in the downstairs Weston Gallery throughout the month of March. An opening reception and book signing will be held on Thursday, March 14th from 5 to 7 PM, and offer a time for patrons to talk to the photographers, buy a first edition of the book, and have it signed by the artist(s).
Ten Piscataqua is envisioned as a series of coffee table books to bring artists and their community together. Each title is a collection of portfolios for the community to discover, explore, and celebrate the local genius in our midst. Ten Piscataqua Photographers is the first in the series. The intent is to build more intimate connections between artists and art lovers sharing the same geography. The book is edited by Phillip Augusta with introductions by Laura Pope.
The Photographers
Carol Van Loon is a black and white photographer from Dover, NH. Her intimate portfolio All About Me, is an evocative exploration of her body at age 60—fearlessly taking the selfie to another level.Philip Case Cohen's portfolio features a selection of architectural and scenic landscapes from his popular photoblog, The Daily Portsmouth.Gary Samson is a fine art photographer, photography educator, and New Hampshire's 7th Artist Laureate. His portfolio Unburdened Beauty samples a decade of portrait and figurative work with women.Peripatetic and prolific, Rich Beauchesne is chief photojournalist for Seacoast Media Group. His portfolio Motorcycle Week tours the spectators and spectacles of Laconia's annual bike rally.Frog eggs, nests, tricks of light, and all manner of creepy-crawlies populate Cheryle St. Onge's portfolio titled Natural Findings. These images evoke a powerful nostalgia—discovering, or rather rediscovering, the wonders of nature through the curious eyes of children.In The Old Ones, Bear Kirkpatrick's portraits of men and women are multilayered wonders. The subject is first decorated in fantastic costume, often made from natural props (eg: mud, feathers, and insects) and then layered within a contextual background drawn from the old masters. The results are portraits like you've never seen before.The work of Rob Karosis exhibits a consistent aesthetic, no matter what the subject. His choices are guileless, authentic, and without gimmick. His portfolio The Texture of Light draws from the natural world with images in both b&w and color.Digital innovator Douglas Prince juxtaposes diverse visual elements to conjure up a surprisingly new photographic world, not unlike a visual poem. Images from his portfolio Panaesthetic explore the numberless possibilities offered by digital image making tools and processes.Charter Weeks has been documenting America for nearly five decades. His portfolio of that name introduces you to people and places around the country you might think you know, but then you're surprised with a gritty revelation or a powerful juxtaposition you didn't notice at first.In her photo essay The Organic Year, Karrah Kwasnik captures both the romance and the hard labor of clean sustainable agriculture. She takes us beyond the produce label for a taste of what organic really means in terms of farm life at Tuckaway and Sheltering Rock Farms in Lee, NH.

New Enhanced Campaigns Bring Changes to Sitelinks
The latest Adwords update, known as Enhanced campaigns, will become mandatory sometime in mid-2013. With the migration, there will be some key impacts to the legacy sitelink ad units – specifically around character limits. According to our Google reps:
At the moment, the new character limit for sitelinks only affects sitelinks created/edited in the upgraded user interface of Enhanced Campaigns. This means you should be able to add and edit sitelinks up to 35 characters until you opt into Enhanced Campaigns.
Essentially, once you opt into Enhanced Campaigns, any sitelinks over 25 characters will be disapproved. The character limit that Google supports in Sitelinks creation will now be changed from 35 to 25 characters.
- Long Sitelinks don't render well on mobile because of wrapping; so Google can't just directly port the desktop UI
- Long Sitelinks don't work for Enhanced Sitelinks, which is where huge incremental CTR can be found
- In general, longer Sitelinks don't work as well as shorter ones
- New Sitelinks created through AdWords will support only the new 25 character limit as of February 13th.
- Legacy Sitelinks upgraded to Enhanced Campaigns will not be subject to change/disapproval on upgrade, if they exceed the 25 character limit

Institute for Social Banking: Summer School 2019
Die ABS ist nicht Veranstalterin der Summer School, sondern das Institute for Social Banking (ISB). Die ABS nimmt mit einer Delegation an der Summer School teil. Interessierten steht die Teilnahme offen. Die Konferenzsprache ist Englisch.
Summer School 2019: Transforming finance. New roles for Banks.
By studying the basic principles and best practices of more than 40 years social and sustainable banking experience, you will be empowered to shape the roles of banks and the future of finance, and make sure that banking and finance is aligned with our challenges to create a sustainable society with human dignity at its core.
The Summer School will highlight the key principles for the lending side, the credit side and the supporting business of social banks. Experts will share best practices and explore the principles for a sustainable finance future. Participants will together explore the future challenges and the transformative potential for social and sustainable banks in particular and the financial sector in general and ask the question: what are new roles for banks -between power position and decentralized network?
Speakers such as expert practitioners from within the ISB member banks as well as from other background, offer their knowledge in workshops that allows participants to engage with each other and build a strong network, while experiencing the field of social banks and sustainable finance and the sectors that they are connected with.
In a week-long course participants engage in a profound exploration of the principles of social and sustainable banking and finance, and explore what those principles offer for society in the light of amongst others the Social Development Goals, the UNEP FI Principles for responsible banking and the implications of the EU action plan on sustainable finance.
A delegation from the ABS will participate in the Summer School.

Asylum's big, bad Ogre is SCARY GOOD!
The Asylum brand was created to offer cigar enthusiasts a "refuge from reality." Brand owners Kevin Baxter and Tom Lazuka are at the helm of this concept project, and since its inception they've decided to enlist the help of cigar industry legend Christian Eiroa, who is responsible for the '94' rated Camacho brand. Asylum 13 Ogre is one of the most impressive cigars they make.
The most visually stunning thing about Ogre is the barber pole style construction, which includes both a Habano and Candela wrapper leaf. This cigar is a Nicaraguan puro, and it includes a plethora of full-bodied flavors that are a treat for the palate. All the sizes are large, starting with a 5.0"x50 robusto and going on up from there. Smooth, flavorful, and complex, this is one behemoth handmade that's poised to make some waves.
