Editorial
you may or may not have noticed the unusual size of this month´s calendar picture above. Reason is not only that, this time, it has to cover two months but is meant also to create anticipation on your forthcoming vacation. Whilst you´re busy with planning where to go this summer, your ABS board was busy improving the means of our society´s communication instruments by entering the blogging scenery. Hence, read our invitation further below to all members and potential members interested - get active by joining this new initiative! July will also deliver a decision on the new UK Prime Minister and subsequently further progressing of the Brexit issue. In order to keeping us frequently informed, Dr. Alexander Christiani, Vice President and chairman of the ABS Expert Council, offers yet another "Policy Paper" - well worth reading as always, see below. Finally, before you leave for your well deserved summer brake, let me draw your attention to a very kind offer - may be it makes you change your holiday plans in favour of the Scottish Highlands ... again, for details see below. Yours, together*) with Frido Richter, ABS board member and IT Administrator, Fred Fruth, Secretary General and Editor-in-Chief *) aka ´the terrible twins´ when on their annual cycling tour to Grado in September

ABS Bloggerlnnen gesucht!Die Öffentlichkeitspräsenz unserer ABS nimmt ständig zu. Wer hätte sich vor einigen Jahren gedacht, dass wir aktiv von TV-Stationen angefragt werden, wenn es etwa um Brexit-Themen geht? Wer hätte gedacht, dass wir Dauergast in den Seitenblicken mit unseren gesellschaftlichen Events sind? Wer hätte erwartet, dass es einen Expertenrat gibt, der laufend höchst qualitative Policy-Papers erstellt? Und all das wird - gemeinsam mit Event-Berichten und Fotogalerien - über unser Webportal, den Newsletter und die facebook-Seite an buchstäblich tausende Menschen kommuniziert, die diese Inhalte freiwillig konsumieren! Jetzt setzen wir einen weiteren Schritt und werden demnächst einen ABS-Blog ins Leben rufen. Kurze, knackige Kommentare und Gedanken zu gesellschaftlichen, staatspolitischen, wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Entwicklungen sollen unsere society medial noch öffentlichkeitswirksamer machen. Wir laden vor allem junge (und natürlich junggebliebene) ABS-Mitglieder und Freunde ein, als ABS-BloggerInnen zu publizieren! Interessierte kontaktieren bitte Jochen Ressel, ABS board member, unter: blog@oebrg.at.

Ein einmaliges Kinoangebot: "EDIE" in den Scottish Highlands
Am 19.7.2019 kommt der wunderschöne Film "EDIE – Für Träume ist es nie zu spät" in unsere Kinos - siehe folgendenTrailer:
In der Hauptrolle der forschen aber liebenswerten Edie bahnt sich eine brillant aufspielende Sheila Hancock schnell ihren Weg in die Herzen der Zuschauer. In atemberaubenden Bildern fängt der Film die Schönheit der schottischen Highlands ein und offenbart wie beiläufig die Einmaligkeit des Lebens. Der beglückende Publikumsliebling erzählt von verpassten Chancen, der Erfüllung lang gehegter Träume und vom Mut, seinen eigenen Weg zugehen. Der Film wurde in den schottischen Highlinds, im Dorf Lochinver und am Mount Suilven gedreht. Für die ersten drei schnell Entschlossenen gibt es jeweils 2 Gratistickets für den Besuch im CINE CENTER oder im VOTIV KINO in Wien.
