Sturm und Drang ( /ˌʃtʊərm ʊnt ˈdræŋ, - ˈdrɑːŋ/, [1] German: [ˈʃtʊʁm ʔʊnt ˈdʁaŋ]; usually translated as "storm and stress" [2]) was a proto- Romantic movement in German literature and music that occurred between the late 1760s and early 1780s. Within the movement, individual subjectivity and, in particular, extremes of emotion were given free expression in reaction to the perceived constraints of rationalism imposed by the Enlightenment and associated aesthetic movements. The period is named after Friedrich Maximilian Klinger's play of the same name, which was first performed by Abel Seyler's famed theatrical company in 1777.
The philosopher Johann Georg Hamann is considered to be the ideologue of Sturm und Drang; other significant figures were Johann Anton Leisewitz, Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz, H. L. Wagner, and Friedrich Maximilian Klinger. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Schiller were notable proponents of the movement early in their lives, although they ended their period of association with it by initiating what would become Weimar Classicism.
Counter-Enlightenment
Main article: Counter-Enlightenment
French neoclassicism (including French neoclassical theatre), a movement beginning in the early Baroque, with its emphasis on the rational, was the principal target of rebellion for adherents of the Sturm und Drang movement. For them, sentimentality and an objective view of life gave way to emotional turbulence and individuality, and enlightenment ideals such as rationalism, empiricism, and universalism no longer captured the human condition; emotional extremes and subjectivity became the vogue during the late 18th century.

The term Sturm und Drang first appeared as the title of a play by Friedrich Maximilian Klinger, written for Abel Seyler's Seylersche Schauspiel-Gesellschaft and published in 1776. [3] The setting of the play is the unfolding American Revolution, in which the author gives violent expression to difficult emotions and extols individuality and subjectivity over the prevailing order of rationalism. Though it is argued that literature and music associated with Sturm und Drang predate this seminal work, it was from this point that German artists became distinctly self-conscious of a new aesthetic. This seemingly spontaneous movement became associated with a wide array of German authors and composers of the mid-to-late Classical period. [4]
Sturm und Drang came to be associated with literature or music aimed at shocking the audience or imbuing them with extremes of emotion. The movement soon gave way to Weimar Classicism and early Romanticism, whereupon a socio-political concern for greater human freedom from despotism was incorporated along with a religious treatment of all things natural. [5]
There is much debate regarding whose work should or should not be included in the canon of Sturm und Drang. One point of view would limit the movement to Goethe, Johann Gottfried Herder, Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz, and their direct German associates writing works of fiction and/or philosophy between 1770 and the early 1780s. [6] The alternative perspective is that of a literary movement inextricably linked to simultaneous developments in prose, poetry, and drama, extending its direct influence throughout the German-speaking lands until the end of the 18th century. Nevertheless, the originators of the movement came to view it as a time of premature exuberance that was then abandoned in favor of often conflicting artistic pursuits. [7]

Johann Georg Hamann
As a precursor to Sturm und Drang, the literary topos of the Kraftmensch existed among dramatists beginning with F.M. Klinger. Its expression is seen in the radical degree to which individuality need appeal to no outside authority save the self nor be tempered by rationalism. [8] These ideals are identical to those of Sturm und Drang, and it can be argued that the later name exists to catalog a number of parallel, co-influential movements in German literature rather than express anything substantially different from what German dramatists were achieving in the violent plays attributed to the Kraftmensch movement.
Major philosophical/theoretical influences on the literary Sturm und Drang movement were Johann Georg Hamann (especially the 1762 text Aesthetica in nuce. Eine Rhapsodie in kabbalistischer Prose) and Johann Gottfried Herder, both from Königsberg, and both formerly in contact with Immanuel Kant. Significant theoretical statements of Sturm und Drang aesthetics by the movement's central dramatists themselves include Lenz' Anmerkungen übers Theater and Goethe's Von deutscher Baukunst and Zum Schäkespears Tag (sic). The most important contemporary document was the 1773 volume Von deutscher Art und Kunst. Einige fliegende Blätter, a collection of essays that included commentaries by Herder on Ossian and Shakespeare, along with contributions by Goethe, Paolo Frisi (in translation from the Italian), and Justus Möser.
The protagonist in a typical Sturm und Drang stage work, poem, or novel is driven to action—often violent action—not by pursuit of noble means nor by true motives, but by revenge and greed. Goethe's unfinished Prometheus exemplifies this along with the common ambiguity provided by juxtaposing humanistic platitudes with outbursts of irrationality. [9] The literature of Sturm und Drang features an anti- aristocratic slant while seeking to elevate all things humble, natural, or intensely real (especially whatever is painful, tormenting, or frightening).
The story of hopeless love and eventual suicide presented in Goethe's sentimental novel Die Leiden des jungen Werthers (1774) is an example of the author's tempered introspection regarding his love and torment. Friedrich Schiller's drama, Die Räuber (1781), provided the groundwork for melodrama to become a recognized dramatic form. The plot portrays a conflict between two aristocratic brothers, Franz and Karl Moor. Franz is cast as a villain attempting to cheat Karl out of his inheritance, though the motives for his action are complex and initiate a thorough investigation of good and evil. Both of these works are seminal examples of Sturm und Drang in German literature.
The absence or exclusion of women writers from accounts of Sturm und Drang can be taken as a consequence of the movement's and the period's masculinist ethos or as a failure of more recent literary criticism to engage with literary works by women--such as Marianne Ehrmann--that might merit inclusion.

The Classical period music (1750–1800) associated with Sturm und Drang is predominantly written in a minor key to convey difficult or depressing sentiments. The principal themes tend to be angular, with large leaps and unpredictable melodic contours. Tempos and dynamics change rapidly and unpredictably in order to reflect strong changes of emotion. Pulsing rhythms and syncopation are common, as are racing lines in the soprano or alto registers. Writing for string instruments features tremolo and sudden, dramatic dynamic changes and accents.
Musical theater became the meeting place of the literary and musical strands of Sturm und Drang, with the aim of increasing emotional expression in opera. The obligato recitative is a prime example. Here, orchestral accompaniment provides an intense underlay of vivid tone-painting to the solo recitative. Christoph Willibald Gluck's 1761 ballet, Don Juan, heralded the emergence of Sturm und Drang in music; the program notes explicitly indicated that the D minor finale was to evoke fear in the listener. Jean Jacques Rousseau's 1762 play, Pygmalion (first performed in 1770) is a similarly important bridge in its use of underlying instrumental music to convey the mood of the spoken drama. The first example of melodrama, Pygmalion influenced Goethe and other important German literary figures. [11]
Nevertheless, relative to the influence of Sturm und Drang on literature, the influence on musical composition was limited, and many efforts to label music as conforming to this trend are tenuous at best. Vienna, the center of German/Austrian music, was a cosmopolitan city with an international culture; therefore, melodically innovative and expressive works in minor keys by Haydn or Mozart from this period should generally be considered first in the broader context of musical developments taking place throughout Europe. The clearest musical connections to the self-styled Sturm und Drang movement can be found in opera and the early predecessors of program music, such as Haydn's Farewell Symphony. Beethoven, Weber, and even Schubert have elements of Sturm und Drang.
A Sturm und Drang period is often attributed to the works of the Austrian composer Joseph Haydn from the late 1760s to early 1770s. Works during this period often feature a newly impassioned or agitated element; however, Haydn never mentions Sturm und Drang as a motivation for his new compositional style, [12] and there remains an overarching adherence to classical form and motivic unity. Though Haydn may not have been consciously affirming the anti-rational ideals of Sturm und Drang, one can certainly perceive the influence of contemporary trends in musical theatre on his instrumental works during this period.
Mozart's Symphony No. 25 (the "Little" G-minor symphony, 1773) is one of only two minor-key symphonies by the composer. Beyond the atypical key, the symphony features rhythmic syncopation along with the jagged themes associated with Sturm und Drang. [13] More interesting is the emancipation of the wind instruments in this piece, with the violins yielding to colorful bursts from the oboe and flute. However, it is likely the influence of numerous minor-key works by the Czech composer Johann Baptist Wanhal (a Viennese contemporary and acquaintance of Mozart), rather than a self-conscious adherence to a German literary movement, which is responsible for the harmonic and melodic experiments in the Symphony no. 25.

In visual art
The parallel movement in the visual arts can be witnessed in paintings of storms and shipwrecks showing the terror and irrational destruction wrought by nature. These pre- romantic works were fashionable in Germany from the 1760s on through the 1780s, illustrating a public audience for emotionally provocative artwork. Additionally, disturbing visions and portrayals of nightmares were gaining an audience in Germany as evidenced by Goethe's possession and admiration of paintings by Fuseli capable of "giving the viewer a good fright." [15] Notable artists included Joseph Vernet, Caspar Wolf, Philip James de Loutherbourg, and Henry Fuseli.
In theatre
The Sturm und Drang movement did not last long; according to Betty Waterhouse it began in 1771 and ended in 1778 (Waterhouse v). The rise of the middle class in the 18th century led to a change in the way society and social standings were looked at. Dramatists and writers saw the stage as a venue for critique and discussion of societal issues. French writer Louis-Sébastien Mercier suggested that drama be used to promote political ideas, a concept that would develop many years later. After the Seven Years' War, which ended in 1763, German spirit was extremely high and Germans felt a sense of importance on a grander stage. The aristocracy gained power as the ruling class, furthering the divide and increasing tensions between the classes (Liedner viii). With these new ideals came the sense that a new form of art capable of dethroning the extremely popular French neoclassicism was needed. Johann Georg Hamann, a noted German philosopher and a major promoter of the Sturm und Drang movement, "defended the native culture of the Volk and maintained that language, the root of all our experience, was richer in images and more powerful prior to the ' abstract' eighteenth century" (Liedner viii). Germany did not have a common state entity; instead, the nation was broken into hundreds of small states. The Sturm und Drang movement was a reaction to this lack of political unity for the German people and often dealt with the idea of living life on a smaller scale and the desire to become a part of something bigger.
The Sturm und Drang movement also paid a lot of attention to the language of a piece of literature. It is no wonder that Shakespeare, with his brilliant use of language, originality with complex plot lines and subplots, and multifaceted characters from all social classes, was seen as a model for German writers (Wilson and Goldfarb 287). Many writers of the Sturm und Drang movement considered themselves to be challengers of the Enlightenment. However, the movement is actually a continuation of the Enlightenment. Many Sturm und Drang plays showed interest in how society affects the individual, a common theme in many Enlightenment plays as well. However, Sturm und Drang "makes its own distinctive contribution to 18th-century culture, bringing attention to the power of the environment as well as to the contradictory and self-defeating attitudes present in every segment of society" (Liedner ix). Far before its time, the divergent style of Sturm und Drang shrewdly explored depression and violence with an open plot structure (Liedner ix). The Sturm und Drang movement rebelled against all the rules of neoclassicism and the enlightenment, first recognized Shakespeare as a "genius" of dramaturgy, and provided the foundation for 19th-century romanticism. Writers such as Heinrich Leopold Wagner, Goethe, Lenz, Klinger, and Schiller used episodic structure, violence, and mixed genres to comment on societal rules and morals, while doubting that anything would change. The Sturm und Drang movement was brief, but it set a fire that still burns intensely today.
Six main playwrights initiated and popularized the Sturm und Drang movement: Leisewitz, Wagner, Goethe, Lenz, Klinger, and Schiller. The theatre director Abel Seyler, the owner of the Seylersche Schauspiel-Gesellschaft, had an important role in promoting the Sturm und Drang poets.
Johann Anton Leisewitz
Main article: Johann Anton Leisewitz
Johann Anton Leisewitz was born in Hanover in 1752 and studied law. He is remembered for his single complete play, Julius of Taranto (1776), which is considered the forerunner of Schiller's work The Robbers (1781). [16] He was married to Sophie Seyler, the daughter of theatre director Abel Seyler.
Main article: Heinrich Leopold Wagner
Heinrich Leopold Wagner was born in Strasbourg on February 19, 1747. He studied law and was a member of the literary group surrounding Johann Daniel Salzmann. He was a dramatist, producer, translator, and lawyer for the traveling Abel Seyler theatre company. Wagner was best known for his two plays, Die Reue nach der Tat ("The Remorse After the Deed") in 1775 and Die Kindermorderin ("The Childmurderess") in 1776. Child murder was a very popular topic in the 18th century and all of the major Sturm und Drang writers used it as a subject in their writings (Waterhouse 97). Die Kindermorderin was one of the most traditional plays of the Sturm und Drang. Although sharing aspects of neoclassical plays, such as a fairly simple plot and very few changes in the setting, it breaks away from the neoclassical idea that the protagonist must be of noble descent. Instead, this play shows how the aristocracy disrupts the lives of middle class characters (Liedner xii). This play also uses a vast array of colorful language to demonstrate the variety of characters and their social statuses. Another common theme seen in Die Kindermorderin is the idea of society hindering change. Groningseck, a lieutenant, seems to be willing to look past social norms and break down walls between the classes, but a fellow officer, Hasenpoth, betrays him (Liedner xii).
Main article: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was born in August 1749, in Frankfurt. He wrote his first important play, Götz von Berlichingen in 1773, in Shakespearean style, a defining characteristic of the Sturm und Drang movement (Wilson and Goldfarb 287). Shakespeare was considered a genius among German playwrights, and was idolized for his "shattering of the dramatic unities of time, place and action; and his sharply individualized, emotionally complex characters" (Waterhouse v). Goethe was well known for his staging as well as his long dramatic poem Faust ( Goethe's Faust) (Wilson and Goldfarb 287). Goethe was the director of theatre at the Weimar Theatre where he eventually ran the entire company. He went to Italy for two years to collect himself and while there discovered the beauty of the Greek and Roman ruins. After this trip he returned with interest in classical ideas and writing, and a new form of writing emerged called Weimar Classicism.
Main article: Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz
Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz was born in Sesswegen, now Latvia, on the January 23, 1751. He studied theology and philosophy at the University of Konigsberg. His first poem, Die Landplagen ("Torments of the Land"), emerged in 1769. He went on to write "Notes on the Theatre", The New Menoza and Der Hofmeister ("The Tutor") in 1774, Pandemonium Germanicum in 1775, and Die Soldaten ("The Soldiers") in 1776 (Liedner xi). Lenz took Aristotle's popular idea of plot being more important than character and reversed it, as well as reclassified the distinctions between comedy and tragedy. In Lenz's works, tragedies feature characters that make decisions that cause events, and in comedies a resolute milieu pushes and pulls the character through events (Liedner xi). The Soldiers is most likely Lenz's most distinct example of Sturm und Drang literature. It centers on an idea of degradation of civilians by soldiers, but more specifically the seduction and abuse of young women by soldiers. Illustrating an undesirable, conflicted character with no power over her situation who does whatever she can to get through her current state, The Soldiers displays a "well-observed world where one's identity is fluid – and hopelessly entangled in the social and linguistic environment" (Liedner xi). This idea of feeling unable to change one's situation is typical of many Sturm und Drang plays. Lenz's use of reserved dialogue, open form, violence, and a combination of comedy and tragedy precursors the works of contemporary authors such as Friedrich Dürrenmatt and Bertolt Brecht (Waterhouse v).
Main article: Friedrich Maximilian Klinger
Friedrich Maximilian Klinger was born in Frankfurt on February 17, 1752. He was born into a humble family and struggled financially after the death of his father. He studied law at Giessen with the financial help of Goethe's family. He also worked with the Abel Seyler troupe for a year and a half (Pascal 132). Although famous for his Sturm und Drang style plays, many of his earlier plays were very classical in style. Some of Klinger's works include Die Zwillinge (1776), Die neue Arria (1776), Simsone Grisaldo (1776), and Stilpo und seine Kinder (1780). Klinger's most famous play, Sturm und Drang (1776), is the seminal piece of literature associated with the Sturm und Drang epoch. Strangely, the play is set in revolutionary America, not Germany. We see allusions to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet through the feuds of the households, as well as All's Well That Ends Well in some of the character's names (Liedner xiii). Klinger utilized a defining characteristic of Sturm und Drang when he mixed aspects of comedy and tragedy throughout the play, stating " the deepest tragic emotion continually alternates with laughter and joviality" (Liedner xiii).
Main article: Friedrich Schiller
Friedrich Schiller was born in Marbach on November 10, 1759. He studied medicine at Karlsschule Stuttgart, a prestigious military academy founded by the Duke of Württemberg. He developed a strong relationship with Goethe, one of the most influential writers of the time (Wilson and Goldfarb 287). They were particularly interested in questions concerning aesthetics. This relationship led to an epoch known as Weimar Classicism, a style that integrates classical, romantic and enlightenment ideals (Leidner xiv). Following Schiller's plays Die Räuber ("The Robbers") and Kabale und Liebe ("Intrigue and Love"), he went on to become a major poet as well as to write famous essays and Weimar Classical drama (Leidner xiv). Die Räuber tells the story of two brothers, the younger of which is infuriated by how society favors the first-born child and he acts on his feelings without any regard to societal rules or social standing. In act five, his views on God "represent the most blasphemous attack on religion in German literature up to that time… [and] is a masterful work of social dynamics that takes deep German patterns of sensibility into account" (Leidner xiv).

Russell McVeagh picks change management specialist to lead amid transformation
by Sol Dolor12 Sep 2018
Russell McVeagh has picked a seasoned senior executive who specialises in strategy execution and change management to lead the firm amid its transformation.
Jo Avenell, currently group general manager for customer experience and brand and people at the New Zealand Post Group, will commence as the top-tier firm's chief executive on 23 October. She has been with the Post Group for nearly six years.
"This is a critically important appointment for our firm as we continue on our journey to building a safe, inclusive and people-focused culture that will underpin our future success," said Malcolm Crotty, Russell McVeagh chairman. "We have acknowledged that we must lead behavioural and cultural change across our firm and we're confident in Jo's abilities to lead and support us in achieving this."
Russell McVeagh has vowed to end harassment and bullying in the firm after it was rocked by scandal earlier this year, prompting an examination of the problems in the wider legal sector.
"The board and partners are well into implementing all of the recommendations following Dame Margaret Bazley's review of the firm released in July. We have charged ourselves with building a culture and a firm that reflects the values and aspirations of our people and clients," the chairman said.
"Jo is a strong and accomplished executive who is hugely respected, and who will inspire confidence, help overcome obstacles, and lead by example. Russell McVeagh will benefit from Jo's proven track-record delivering significant cultural change across large organisations," he said.
After the independent review's results were published, Russell McVeagh said that it would be looking for a new chief executive with the expertise to lead transformational change. Avenell was picked during that extensive local and international search, the firm said.
Avenell has been a senior executive in the financial services, professional services, and postal and logistic services industries for more than 20 years. She was previously vice president of global strategic change management at Credit Suisse First Boston in London. At EY she was head of talent and management in the corporate finance arm in London before becoming the professional services giant's senior manager of leadership development in the UK.
She then became the head of human resources at EY New Zealand, before being named head of human capital at PwC New Zealand. Before the Post Group, she served as general manager of human resources at Westpac New Zealand.
Avenell succeeds Gary McDiarmid, who announced his planned retirement from Russell McVeagh in June 2017.
"Gary has helped lead the firm through a period of huge change in the legal profession. We thank Gary for his significant contribution of over 20 years as CEO," Crotty said.

American Renewable Energy Gala Celebrates Policy Champions and Corporate Leaders
Author: Paris Williams
On Tuesday, March 13, in the grand foyer of the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C., over 250 executives gathered to honor policy champions and industry giants for their leadership and contributions to innovation and growth of the renewable energy industry.
The 2018 American Renewable Energy Gala was a special night for ACORE members and supporters to reflect on an eventful year for the sector, celebrate industry progress and resilience in the face of policy challenges, and connect with fellow investors, developers, manufacturers, utilities, and corporate consumers who make up the renewable energy economy.
To mark the occasion, ACORE's President and CEO Greg Wetstone presented four awards celebrating important contributions to the renewable energy sector.
The Renewable Energy Champion Awards went to Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) for his continued vocal support of renewable energy in Congress and Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) for his integral role in securing a critical repair to tax legislation that has allowed the renewable sector to continue to grow. Unfortunately, Senator Markey could not receive his award in-person due to inclement weather.
The Renewable Energy Leadership Awards were presented to Blackrock for its prominent role in driving renewable capital and General Electric for its record of innovation in turbine production and commitment to financing renewable development.
2018 American Renewable Energy Awardees
Renewable Energy Champion Awardees
Senator Rob Portman of Ohio was honored with the Renewable Energy Champion Award for his decisive support of the renewable energy industry in a pivotal period in late 2017. As a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee, Sen. Portman championed an important repair to the new Base-erosion Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT) provision in the Senate bill, which would have devastated renewable energy investment had it passed as originally constructed.
Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts was honored with the Renewable Energy Champion Award for being a long-time, outspoken advocate for renewable energy in Congress. Senator Markey is passionate about revolutionizing our country's energy policies and holds to his conviction that America must lead in the development of renewable energy technologies. While in the House of Representatives, Senator Markey was co-author of the American Clean Energy and Security Act – the famous Waxman-Markey legislation which would have established a national cap and trade system and a 20 percent national renewable portfolio standard. As Chair of the Senate Climate Task
Force Senator Markey has welcomed ACORE's input and counsel and has consistently
supported policies that would accelerate the growth of our industry.
Renewable Energy Leadership Awardees
BlackRock was honored with the Renewable Energy Leadership Award for its role in leading the transition to permanent capital within the renewable energy finance sector. BlackRock is a global financial leader with over $6 trillion in assets under management. It has focused its attention on renewable energy, driving over $5 billion in new capital from institutional investors into the renewable energy sector over the past five years. But BlackRock's impact is much broader, as this massive asset manager has also leveraged it's sweeping influence to urge companies across the economy do more to respond to societal challenges. While accepting the award, Jim Barry, Head of Real Assets, Managing Director, and Global Head of BlackRock Infrastructure Investment Group, remarked, "We are seeing a massive transformation in the power generation mix. We are looking at a sector that has gone from less than $20 billion dollars a year, deployed fifteen years ago, to over $300 billion invested last year."
General Electric (GE), a company well-regarded for its success in producing wind turbines and financing renewable development, also received ACORE's Renewable Energy Leadership Award. In 2002, GE acquired the wind power assets of Enron Wind, which at the time was the only surviving U.S. manufacturer of large wind turbines. This purchase, by a widely respected company, helped legitimize wind energy as a serious business. Since that acquisition, GE has continued to roll out important technological advances that have yielded massive cost reductions for wind power, including a 67 percent decrease in levelized costs over the past 8 years. It has also played a significant role in helping to finance growth in the sector. During his acceptance remarks, David Nason, Chief Executive Officer of GE Energy Financial Services highlighted the company's significant contributions to U.S. renewables. "GE is committed to both financing and investing in the energy space. We've done over $15 billion of investments since we began investing in it in 2004. In just 2017 alone, we have closed tax equity investments for over 1.4 gigawatts. Of course, GE speaks for more than just the financial side, we are one of the leading innovators when it comes to energy investing. We just invested $400 million to develop the largest and most powerful offshore wind turbine, which has a 200-meter rotor and will produce 45 percent more energy than the largest turbine in the world right now."
We thank all the attendees and table sponsors that made the Gala possible and applaud these policy champions and leading business for their commitment to accelerating the transition to a renewable energy economy.

Tarxien – c. 3000-2500 BC was the height of the temple-building phase. Several temples were constructed including Hagar Qim, Mnajdra, Borg in-Nadur, Tas-Silg and Tarxien. Construction had become very sophisticated, such as the immense stone blocks and the intricate facades of Hagar Qim.
Hagar Qim was excavated at the beginning of the nineteenth century and has produced many 'fat figure' statuettes including the naturalistic 'Venus of Malta'. On the outer side of the north flank of Hagar Qim a open-air shrine has been inserted into the wall, whose facade combines the suggestive symbols of the male and female generative organs. There is also the unique four-sided altar. Various facades of the temple have been interpreted as symbolically depicting male and female reproductive organs. Construction employs 'corbelling' or oversailing of the walls in order to narrow the span of the roof.
At the Mnajdra temple complex 1000 metres away, 'corbelling' is also demonstated. There also appears to be astrological alignment – with equinoxal sunrises. All the temples, including Tas-Silg and Borg in-Nadur, retained their religious function during the successive Maltese ages.

A large club of 18 banks has signed an oversubscribed US$268mn term loan facility in Taiwan for South Africa's Standard Bank.
The transaction carries a three-year tenor and was initially launched at US$200mn, but received enough interest to increase the final amount by US$68mn.
GTR can reveal that the loan is priced at 215 basis points over Libor.
"We are delighted to have raised such a sizeable amount for the tenor indicated," notes Simon Ridley, group financial director at Standard Bank.
Bank of Taiwan was mandated to coordinate the facility and was joined by ANZ, Bank Sinopac, Cathay United, Chinatrust Commercial Bank, HSBC, Mega International Commercial Bank, Taipei Fubon Commercial Bank, Taishin International Bank and Taiwan Cooperative Bank as mandated lead arrangers.
The money will be used for general corporate purposes, including trade finance.
Gerard Nolan, head of international finance at Standard Bank SA, tells GTR how the loan ended up in Taiwan: "Over the years we have been very successful in the loan market in particular. We have found it more difficult to access decent pricing and tenors in the US and Europe, so we have recently been focusing on Asia. We discovered that Taipei was fairly liquid.
"We are really pleased that we had such good responses from the banks, and it is our intention to continue focusing on the Asian market," Nolan adds.
This is Standard Bank's second successful term loan in the Taiwanese market; the first was last year's US$130mn two-year loan.

After 15 years' work, it's time: Australia's national integrity commission solution explained
Published November 23, 2018 December 3, 2018 AuthorContributed
Fifteen years after Transparency International Australia and Griffith University researchers first assessed Australia as needing a comprehensive federal anti-corruption body, the full legislative plan is finally on the table.
And it's thanks to an ever-widening coalition of support, again led by a joint TI Australia/Griffith research team, conducting the current second Australian Research Council-funded national integrity system assessment of Australia.
The first of two National Integrity bills is set for introduction into federal parliament on Monday (26 November), by Independent MP Cathy McGowan with the support of Centre Alliance MP Rebekha Sharkie and a coalition of cross-benchers.
As Ms McGowan has told Guardian Australia and ABC Radio National, the structure, content and much of the drafting of the final package has been led by ARC project leader Professor A J Brown, of Griffith University's Centre for Governance & Public Policy – who is also a board member of Transparency International, globally and in Australia.
Professor Brown and Transparency International colleagues will be in Canberra for the introduction.
"The key to this package is understanding the choice between the three options set out in our August options paper," Professor Brown said.
"We can do nothing, or just tinker with a federal integrity system which is so full of holes any international organised criminals could drive a container ship through them."
"Or, second, we could attempt a poor, or even good, copy of Australia's state anti-corruption commissions – which would be better, but still not deal with other huge weaknesses in the federal system, and not address the different roles played by our federal government."
"This is why a third, more comprehensive, option is the answer."
Professor Brown said the Australian National Integrity Commission proposed by McGowan and Sharkie included all the necessary elements of a strong State anti-corruption model, but with five additional advantages:
A strong focus on corruption prevention and anti-corruption coordination, lifting the bar for State governments and internationally;
Parliamentary codes of conduct to ensure federal politicians are held to account, and a parliamentary standards commissioner to help ensure the Australian National Integrity Commission can keep its focus on serious corruption;
Adoption and improvement on existing Commonwealth law enforcement and integrity powers, including for holding public inquiries and public hearings;
A long overdue federal whistleblower protection commissioner, to help triage information on corruption and other wrongdoing whether coming from the public or private sectors nationally, and ensure whistleblower protections are actually enforced;
A legislative path for dealing with other outstanding federal integrity issues, including political donations reform, lobbying reform, and the most appropriate form of oversight for judicial integrity.
"Support for action would not be as universal as it now is, without other powerful organisations joining the campaign – especially The Australia Institute and Melbourne-based Accountability Round Table," according to Professor Brown.
"The Key Principles for designing an anti-corruption body, released by The Australia Institute and Transparency International Australia in late 2017, were pivotal in defining the core investigation functions, powers and accountability of any such body."
"However, we are pleased that, when it comes to embedding these principles in Australia's federal system, with all its special gaps and challenges, the further options developed by our Australian Research Council-funded team have stood the test."
Cathy McGowan and Rebekha Sharkie tabled the Griffith University/Transparency International Australia options paper in federal parliament on September 12th, calling it "the most recent authoritative investigation of the serious options for an Australian national integrity commission."
Liberal Senator Dean Smith and Labor Senator Jacinta Collins later hosted a bipartisan parliamentary briefing on the options paper.
The paper was authored by Professors Brown and Janet Ransley of Griffith University, and Flinders University researchers Adam Graycar and Kym Kelly, Professor Tim Prenzler of the University of Sunshine Coast, and former Speaker of the Victorian Parliament, Associate Professor Ken Coghill.
Dr Coghill, who led a Commonwealth Parliamentary Association report on political integrity, is also an architect of Ms Gowan's National Integrity (Parliamentary Standards) Bill, set to be introduced next week.

Catalyzing the Movement (2001 - Present)
• 2001 – Publication of the book, Divided By Faith: Evangelical Religion and the Problem of Race in America, marks the end of the Forerunner Stage and the beginning of the pioneer stage of the Multiethnic Church Movement. At this time, 7.5 percent of churches across the country have at least 20 percent diversity in their attending membership.
• 2003 – George Yancey and Mark DeYmaz meet in Indianapolis, IN. They agree to form a relational network to surface and connect pastors, church planters, and ministry leaders interested in multiethnic local church ministry. Oxford University Press publishes United By Faith: The Multi-cultural Church as an Answer to the Problem of Race of which George Yancey is a co-author. George's book, One Body One Spirit: Principles of Successful Multiracial Churches, is also published that year by IVP.
• 2004 – Under the name Mosaix Global Network, George and Mark host the first local multiethnic church conference in Dallas, TX. Approximately thirty people attend including the church secretary, sound tech, and pizza deliveryman.
• 2005 – In April, George and Mark speak at the Ethnic America Conference in Dallas, TX, and are featured in the April issue of Christianity Today, the cover of which reads, "All Churches Should Be Multiracial." In November, Mosaix hosts a second local conference in Dallas, TX; this time, 100 people attend.
• 2006 – Jim Spoonts raises financial support to become Mosaix' first executive director. Under Jim's leadership Mosaix hosts several retreats and local conferences throughout the country, and becomes a 501(c)(3) non-profit. An initial mission, vision, and developmental strategy for the network take shape. Among other things, Mosaix promotes a 2020 Vision, the goal of seeing 20 percent of churches 20 percent diverse by the year 2020.
• 2007, Jossey-Bass and Leadership Network publish Building a Healthy Multi-ethnic Church: Mandate, Commitments, and Practices of a Diverse Congregation by Mosaix co-founder, Mark DeYmaz.
• 2009 – In the aftermath of the recession, Jim's financial support dwindles and he resigns. Mark is asked to become Mosaix' next executive director. After consulting nearly thirty leaders from around the country, and with support from his own church in Little Rock, he agrees and goes to work on a national conference.
• 2010 – In April, Zondervan and Leadership Network publish Ethnic Blends: Mixing Diversity Into Your Local Church by Mark DeYmaz and Harry Li. Mark's column promoting the multiethnic vision, Ethnic Blends, begins a three-year run in Outreach Magazine. In November, Mosaix hosts the 1st National Multiethnic Church Conference in San Diego, CA., in November. 400 people from thirty-one states and three foreign countries attend. Main sessions are live-streamed over the Internet and viewed by nearly 500 people over two days in fourteen countries. The conference theme was On Earth As It Is In Heaven. It marks the midway point of the pioneer stage of the Movement.
• 2011-2012 – Mosaix returns to grassroots organizing by creating web-based resources, publishing its first eBook, Should Pastors Accept or Reject the Homogeneous Unit Principle, by Mark DeYmaz, hosting two national retreats in the United States, and a national conference in Sydney, Australia. In partnership with Mosaix, Leadership Network launches a two-year learning community focused on the multiethnic church involving twelve churches and thirty leaders. Individuals and local churches across the country begin to financially support the efforts of Mosaix.
• 2013 – Mosaix convened its 2nd National Conference in Long Beach, CA, under the theme, For the Sake of the Gospel. This time, more than 1,000 people from thirty-one states and three foreign countries attended, including a delegation from Uganda. Some sixty speakers led five plenary sessions, fifteen tracks, and sixty workshops. The conference was broadcast live attracting more than 1,000 unique viewers from twenty nations over the course of the two-day event. Thirty-five organizations and nineteen churches sponsored the event. In time for the conference, Zondervan re-releases Ethnic Blends under a new title, Leading a Healthy Multi-ethnic Church: Seven Core Commitments and How to Overcome Them. It is the first book to carry Mosaix imprint.
• 2014 – Mosaix begins to provide effective and affordable coaching to pastors and church planters seeking to establish multiethnic churches. Individual and group coaching continues to this day and includes clients from Stadia, the United Methodist Church, the Southern Baptist Convention, the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, the Anglican Church in North America, non-denominational churches, and more. In addition, Mosaix continues its nearly ten-year relationship with Exponential hosting pre-conferences at both their east and west coast annual events. Mosaix launches its first city network in Cincinnati, OH, (MosaixCincy) with some thirty pastors meeting consistently each month for relational connection, mutual encouragement, and peer learning.
• 2015 – In January, Mosaix enters a formal partnership with Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Charlotte, NC, and its Center for the Development of Evangelical Leadership, through which a three-year D.Min. cohort is launched. Over the next three years, ten students will earn a doctorate in Redemptive Leadership & Organizational Development in the Multi-ethnic Context. Mosaix also hosts a Multi-ethnic Church Leaders Summit at GCTS Charlotte in March, a strategic gathering of catalytic church planting leaders representing 22 denominations, networks, and seminaries (for summary, see http://www.christianpost.com/news/mosaix-leaders-summitsets-ambitious-goal-of-planting-1000-multi-ethnic-churches-in-10-years-1359780). In partnership with Exponential, a one-year Learning Community is launched focusing on multiethnic church development; some 25 leaders from twelve churches participate. Local church pastors in Breckenridge, CO and Cleveland, OH host Mosaix Regional Conferences drawing 40 and 250 attendees, respectively. The conference in Cleveland gives birth to a second city network for pastors (MosaixCLE), and a third is launched in Jackson, MS (MosaixJAN). Capping off the year, Mosaix receives a $400,000 grant to help establish a national office and staff team to accelerate multiethnic church planting, growth, and development over the next five years. MosaixCincy hosts a Mosaix Regional Conference at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati attracting 250 people to the event.
• 2016 – The year is spent organizing the 3rd National Multiethnic Church Conference in Dallas (Keller), TX; 1,200 ministry leaders attend the November 1-3 event. In May, Mark DeYmaz names Harry Li senior pastor of Mosaic Church, freeing more of his time for involvement with Mosaix. In June, Mosaix releases a second book inclusive of its imprint: re:MIX – Transitioning Your Church to Living Color by Mark DeYmaz and Bob Whitesell (Abingdon Press). In this year too Wesleyan Publishing House releases Multiethnic Conversations: An Eight-week Journey toward Unity in You Church by Mark DeYmaz and Oneya Fennell Okuwobi (October). An updated website (www.mosaix.info) is launched at the conference, featuring new products and services as the felt need among pastors to develop healthy multiethnic churches steadily increases. Over the past three years, Mosaix has coached 24 church pastors and planters.
• 2017 – A second Mosaix Leadership Cohort is formed with ten pastors in the Western Pennsylvania Conference UMC. Santes Beatty, the Director of Multi-ethnic Ministries for The Wesleyan Church, begins online groups for pastors and ministry leaders using Multiethnic Conversations as a curriculum. By 2019, some 600 of these complete the study online in turn leading 400 others and 1,500 congregants through it in their cities. MosaixSearch is launched to provide effective and affordable staff search services to churches seeking diverse candidates for full-time ministry positions. Mosaix' 5th title of imprint, Disruption: Repurposing the Church to Redeem the Community by Mark DeYmaz, is published in March by Thomas Nelson and Leadership Network. Two regional conferences are held this year in connection with the Mosaix: The EmbRACE Conference via MosaixJAN (June; 400 people), and for the second time, the One New Humanity Conference via MosaixCincy (September, 250).
• 2018 Mosaix' Learning Labs (launched in 2017) are held in three cities: Cleveland, OH (Chip Freed, Garfield Memorial UMC); Tampa, FL (Tommy Kyllonen, Crossover Church), and Little Rock, AR (Harry Li, Mosaic Church). In February, another Mosaix regional event – the Technicolor Conference – is launched by Mark Hearn at First Baptist Church in Duluth, GA. The conference focuses on existing churches seeking to become multi-ethnic, and 200 attend. Leadership Cohorts begin to scale as Mosaix begins working with pastors in East Ohio, West Ohio, and North Georgia. Veteran multi-ethnic church planter Matt McGue moves to Atlanta and establishes Mosaix' fourth city network, MosaixATL. By 2019, three additional networks in Atlanta are meeting monthly throughout the city (eastside, westside, northside, and downtown); some 60 pastors are involved. In Portland, OR, a fifth city network is also formed (MosaixPDX).
• 2019 The year is spent organizing the 4th National Multiethnic Church Conference held in November for a second time at NorthWood Church in Dallas (Keller), TX. In October, Baker Books publishes the groundbreaking work, The Coming Revolution in Church Economics: Why Tithes and Offerings are No Longer Enough and What You Can Do About It by Mark DeYmaz and Harry Li. New Leadership Cohorts are launched to work with pastors in Washington, DC, North Carolina, Georgia, and New York. Mosaix launches new 30- and 90-day coaching packages streamlined to more effectively assist pastors and church planters. Since 2017, some 200 pastors have attended one of seven Mosaix Learning Labs. Page view visits to the Mosaix website (www.mosaix.info) increase to include people from 77 countries over the past 12 months, and grow from 4,000 to 20,000 visits a month over the past four years. Growing global interest leads to the establishment of MosaiX Europe (www.mosaix.info/about/mosaix-europe). Having forged a partnership with Mosaix USA, the leadership team of five (based in Germany, England, the Netherlands, and Greece) are actively working with others in twelve countries to advance the Movement throughout Europe, one focused on Intercultural Church Planting (ICP), Church Transformation, Church in Reverse, Mercy and Justice Ministries.


While on Maui, my wife and I had over six years of experience working with Dustin. Our first exposure to his work involved having a major remodel done on our home in Kihei. We had to let go of two contractors that were major disappointments, failing to stay on schedule, repeatedly exceeding their quotes and poor quality workmanship were the major issues. Dustin was a joy to work with. We found him to be very honest, knowledgeable and skilled at doing even the most intricate work. He constantly exceeded our expectations. Following that, we asked Dustin to fully remodel several condos we purchased. The condos were roughly a thousand square feet and, in each case, Dustin stripped the units down to the framing and at the end of the eight weeks the interiors looked like fine luxury condos, all done for prices that were very reasonable. It is rare to find a contractor with the integrity, knowledge, skill and commitment to complete customer satisfaction that Dustin possesses. Dustin is the only contractor we will consider the next time we build or remodel on Maui in the future.
It is with great confidence that we write in reference to Dustin Tantillo. Dustin was the contractor on the recent remodel of the kitchen at our condo in Wailea. We cannot speak highly enough of his work. Dustin's skills are masterful, his work impeccable and his integrity and work ethic the highest. Dustin was able to advise without imposing and to sense our style so as to be able to match it in his work. He is honest, straight forward and completely transparent. He clearly states what he can do, and then does it at the highest possible standard. He had great attention to detail in his work as evidenced by the wonderful results. We were pleased with each and every aspect of Dustin's work with us. We feel as though we had the opportunity to work with a master craftsman and made a new friend in the process.
We're writing to recommend Tantillo Construction as a contractor. Our recent complete remodel with Dustin was done very professionally and the project was completed on time. Dustin's work ethic is superb and his pride in his work is obvious in the finished work. He was able to correct the problems that always come with the remodel of an older structure. Not only is he an artist in woodwork, his sense of design was very helpful in creating the look we wanted. We enjoyed working with Dustin and will work with him again on future projects. We would welcome any calls from his potential clients. You will like this man.
Hard-working, honest, professional, fair, reliable and incredibly skilled. These are exactly the traits you want (but almost never find) in your contractor. Tantillo Construction is all of these things. Our kitchen remodel was finished on time and on budget. It was also done in a manner that was clean and as minimally intrusive as a major kitchen remodel can be! We wouldn't hesistate to recommend them and in fact already have.
Building our home on Maui was a lifelong dream. The result, thanks in great part to Tantillo Construction, was fantastic. There are lots of horror stories out there about the Owner/Contractor experience. Working with Tantillo Construction is an experience so far away from those tales as to make them non-believable. They are punctual, showing up when they say and finishing when they say. Neat, creative, competent, diligent and honest. You could be an absentee owner and not have a worry about what is going on. We recommend them so highly that we would question anyone who didn't engage them. We love our home and enjoyed the experience of working with Tantillo Construction.
