		<title>Banks &#8211; they just don&#8217;t get it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I am continuously amazed by bank&#8217;s appetite to risk. The banks in the UK in general (believe it or not given the last few years) cultivate an attitude of risk aversion.

		<title>9 memorable meetings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;ve had some great meetings this week, over 15 hours of chat in 5 days on everything from social innovators, to technology &#38; investing, to career paths and BBC World&#8217;s domination to capitalism. It made me wonder about memorable meetings in my life, and what still stands out. Here&#8217;s 9 (in no particular order):

		<title>World economist and a climate camp activist rammy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This weekend was an interesting one in Edinburgh. Firstly, I went to hear Joseph Stiglitz speak at the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Secondly, there is a highly active climate change activist protest ongoing, focusing on targeting RBS (the Royal Bank of Scotland).
Joseph Stiglitz&#8217;s arguments were pretty much the same as you might hear from any [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seven Men: An August update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We&#8217;re so keen to get into the investing of our profits into projects focused on creating social good, or starting/growing social enterprises. It will be amazing to sit and talk to people who have big dreams and a little bit of funding quickly deployed can make all the difference. We&#8217;re finding as we adventure into [...]]]></description>

The most amazing story of the last 24 hours has been the rise to fame by James Cunningham, a 17 year old from Dundee in Scotland. He created an app for Twitter called Twifficiency that calculated basically how good a tweeter you were.

		<title>Working patterns can be bad for your health</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Working long hours is something those who run a business are often accused of, and regularly advised not to do. The advice goes something like this &#8211; your problems will be there in the morning, it&#8217;s bad for your health, you make bad decisions when you are tired, it&#8217;s not sustainable, it&#8217;s not a good [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seven Men went to war?</title>

Having  Seven Men as our name  often means we can Google interesting stories including our title. Another one came up today with the BBC story of the sale of the most remote pub in the UK. Buried in the article is a story about 7 men who once tried to raid land. Now I&#8217;m not [...]]]></description>

		<title>A roundup of the global economic environment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been catching up with the global economic environment. Here&#8217;s my tuppence summary:

Wheat shot through the roof, Glencore made a ton of money (as usual) and force majeure was invoked. But now the Russians are letting some wheat out and the price is down. But whilst that&#8217;s all going on, what about the price of [...]]]></description>
