(The following is the text of my lecture at today's Competitiveness Summit in London.
"I have been asked to address two questions this morning.
The first: Is UK competitiveness imperilled by developing countries catching up and overtaking us?
And question two: How best shall we use our creativity and innovation to stay ahead in the game?
My answer to question 1 is that it is the wrong question, as I shall explain in a moment.
But I will answer Question 2 – by telling you about a project in North East England, called, Designs of the time, or Dott. I will explain the ways in which Dott reframes competition as a race for energy and resource efficiency in our everyday lives.
I will conclude with suggestions on how the lessons of Dott might usefully inform the ways we think about competitiveness at a national level.
Question 1: Is our competitiveness imperilled by developing countries catching up with us?
My answer is No, because, in so-called developing countries, but also here in the north, the rules of competition are changing – profoundly, and irrevocably.
We are all emerging economies now.
The publication of the Stern Review of climate change economics, by a former World Bank chief economist, marks a radical change in the rules by which we compete.
Before Stern, we measured our competitiveness against bizarre criteria. The country with the highest growth, and productivity, went to the top of the league.
But the application of bizarre criteria leads to bizarre – and unsustainable – results.
High growth, as an abstract measure of success, meant that last year a new product was launched every 3.5 minutes.
Companies all over the world innovated like crazy, and competed like mad, to bring out some new ….thing….at ever increasing rates.
Did we need a new product every 3.5 minutes?
I don't think so.
On the contrary: survey after survey demonstrates that we are in despair at the flood of often pointless products we are told will make us happy.
What beckons in an era of perpetual growth? New product simultaneity? Reality that will contain only new products?
Measuring competitveness against the yardstick of productivity leads to other forms of strangeness.
You must have heard the story: the highest degree of productivity is exhibited by a cancer patient going through a divorce.
Very smart.
What's especially mad about productivity, as a measure of success, is that so-called "external" costs – energy, water, minerals, the biosphere as a whole – are not properly counted as part of the game.
The theory of productivity is that we produce more with less.
But we don't. We use energy to exploit resources; and we don't pay the full price of the energy or the resources we use to do so.
Excluding external costs from the score sheet means we completely ignore the impact of our game on the playing surface. And guess what. The playing surface has become worn. And the ball has started to bounce in alarming ways.
(A laboured cricketing metaphor is pretty much a requirement in any speech made in England).
This is what is important about Stern. He is paves the way for a new scoring system.
Under new rules, which the UK Chancellor's pre-budget statement yesterday started tentatively to portend, will be introduced progressively faster as cultural and poiitcal pressure for action builds.
One of the few things a government can do, when the people demand that it does something, is use fiscal measures to make these so-called "external" costs internal costs, payable by the producer.
This is the heart of what a "high value, knowledge-based economy" means.
It's when matter and energy, flowing through the economic system, have to be paid for at full price – rather than taken for granted as a freebie.
Who will be competitive then?
Some commentators responded quickly to Stern. They proclaimed lists of the crucial actions that government must…. take…. now.
What governments must, or can do, top-down, is a modest part of the story.
There are limits to any government's power to tell people how to behave. Especially, if these edicts boil down to the command: consume less!
This leads me to Designs of the time – Dott 07 – and the second question I was asked to address: How best shall we use our creativity and innovation to stay ahead in the game?
Dott 07 is about creating demand for new and more sustainable ways to live.
(Dott is an initiative of the Design Council and a joint venture with the Regional Development Agency, One North East).
Next year, throughout the North East of England, different communities have been challenged to address the question, "how do we want to live?"
Grass roots communities are taking the lead in experiments to change the ways they deal with daily-life issues.
These issues range from energy use in the home; to how we move around; how we look after older people; how we can grow food in cities.
One Dott project is called LOW CARB LANE.
More and more of us would like to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, especially at home. To save money, if not to save the planet.
But how to do it?
Wind turbines? Fuel cells? Solar panels? Nano-gell insulation? Wood-chip boilers? There are so many competing technologies claimed to be the magic cure-all solution.
It's imposible to decide what to do.
It's also hard to pay. Most people cannot afford to shell out thousands of pounds just to be good.
Low Carb Lane tackles tackles these challenges head-on, in a real street: Castle Terrace, in Ashington.
The community will explore the potential to achieve warm and comfortable homes in ways that reduces their carbon footprint – and also save them money.
Helped by an an innovation and design team from Dott, they will look at ways to modify everyday patterns of activity; choose more efficient appliances; add insulation; generate their own power.
Everything from energy saving lightbulbs, to high-tech meters; solar hot water; and off-grid generation; will be considered as a whole.
We'll see if Personal Energy Passports might work for the citizens of Castle Terrace.
We'll explore the idea of a Green Concierge Service to help citizens choose which solutions, if any, are best for them.
Seventy five schools across North East England are also tackling the energy issue head-on.
Year eight students have been given a tool by Dott to help them map the carbon footprint of their "school as an ecosystem".
Once they have identified which aspects of their school's energy and resource life are wasteful, they will propose re-designs to make their school more resource and energy efficient.
The 50 best schools will progress these plans the help of professional designers. The best designs will be put forward for awards at the Dott Festival next October.
Low Carb Lane, and our schools project, both respond to the big energy picture.
But these projects must deliver practical improvements to the daily lives of real people in real places.
What's key is that these small actions just might, as tipping points, have big consequences.
Another Dott project, called Move Me!, tackles the need for mobility and access in a rural community.
The question posed by Move Me! is this: How can we improve peoples mobility, and access to services, without adding more cars or building new roads?
Scremerston County First School, in Northumberland, is the focus for this project.
The Move Me! project will look at the school community's total mobility needs – including un-met ones – and explore how they can be better served by combining existing services, in smarter ways.
In policy terms, our subject is transport intensity, rural access, and resource efficiency.
In Dott terms, we are seeking practical ways to improve daily life for one community, in one place.
The idea is that if we can improve things for real people, in one school – the tools, methods and services we develop for Scremerston can be scaled up and multiplied.
This is why we say Dott is in the acorns business,
A third Dott 07 project is called Urban Farming or: "I grew it my way".
Food is a huge energy challenge.
From farm to plate, depending on the degree to which it has been processed, a typical food item may embody input energy between four and several hundred times the food energy that enters our bodies.
As much fat from fast food outlets is clogging up the sewers of our cities — as is clogging up the arteries of our citizens.
Or take an iceberg lettuce in Harvey Nicholls food hall: for every calory that we eat, it takes 120 calories to grow it, pack it, fly it over the Atlantic, and display it under bright flattering lights in an open-fronted refrigerator.
Totally mad.
In Dott, we decided to take practical steps to slash the distance between what we eat, and where it is grown.
Based in Middlesborough, our Urban Farming project is helping local citizens grow their own food in small, medium, and large urban growing spaces.
These will range from window boxes, to larger planter boxes, and low-sided skips.
A Meal Assembly Centre will be established where growers will be helped to prepare their produce in a week's worth of meals.
The project will culminate next September, in a 'Meal for Middlesbrough.'
All the individuals, schools, businesses, farms and communities will take part.
A fourth Dott 07 project is called ALZHEIMER 100.
It asks: What practical steps are needed to improve daily life for people with dementia and their carers?
Dementia affects 750,000 people currently in the UK. This is expected to rise to 810,00 by 2010 and 1.8m by 2050. Two million sufferers means five million people directly affected.
It's a huge – but largely hidden – issue.
As with the other Dot projects, we will investigate every day problems experienced by particular Alzheimer's patients and carers in real situations.
Dott has teamed up with Alzheimers Society branches throughout the North East to find out what new products and services might be needed tackle these specific problems.
We will enable people with Alzheimers and their carers to document a "day in our life". These day-in-my-life presentations wlil become opportunity maps that mark practical things to be fixed.
Where new with support systems, or devices, are needed, we will make design proposals.
We don't yet know what the outcomes will be, but early meetings have considered concierge or "porterage" service; a time sharing system for carers and volunteers; and a buddy system for people with Alzheimer's enabled by GIS technology and wearable computing.
The first public events of Dott 07 are not until next March. But Dott 07 has been in preparation for over a year, and a number of lessons pertinent to today's discussion are already evident.
The first lesson we have learned in Dott is that creativity and innovation are all around us. People are busy – dealing innovatively with daily life – in all manner of creative ways.
Everywhere we look.
Paul Hawken reckons that worldwide, over one million organizations, populated by over 100 million people, are engaged in grassroots activity designed to address climate and other environmental issues.
"Collectively this constitutes the single biggest movement on earth, but but it flies under the radar" he writes.
Our job in Dott, we now realise, is not to create innovation it from scratch. Our job is to discover and accelerate existing grass roots innovation.
A second lesson from Dott is about networks, connections, and alliances.
Some of our public commission projects involve ten or fifteen different partners. Public ones and private ones. Big ones and small ones. Academic ones and business ones. In Dott's public commission projects, we seem to have them all!
Bringing together new players, in new combinations, is exciting. Importing inspirational examples from other domains is dynamic. Looking "outside the tent" for new ideas has fantastic potential.
But it takes an awful lot of time and social energy to build the shared understanding, and trust, without which these new alliances and relationships would not flourish.
Our conclusion, a year into Dott: Innovation is as much a time issue as it is a money issue, or a technology one.
The third big lesson we are learning in Dott concerns leadership, and that over-used word, "vision".
We are finding, in Dott, that posing a question – "how do we want to live?" – motivates people in ways that telling them how to live, does not.
We do not stand over people and demand: "what sacrifices will you make to save the planet?". On the contrary, Dott is about open-ended conversations about how we want to live.
Our ambition is that out of these conversations – and others that are happening throughout the region – a shared vision of region-wide and sustainable renewal will emerge.
It's a vision in which people take control of how they want to live. Not a vision imposed, top-down, by those with technlogies to sell, or policies to impose.
I said at the start that there are two ways to compete:
Either we run faster and faster – under existing rules – wear out the pitch, and then, whilst looking backwards, run slap into a rock. The rock of climate change.
Or we re-design the rules of the game.
The old game was all about productivity, growth and continuous acceleration. We played it – and played it well in the UK – as if resources were limitless. As if carrying capacity of the planet didn't matter.
In the new game, resource constraints, the carrying capacity of the biosphere, are all that matter.
Given that 80 per cent resource efficiency, or the lack of it, is determined at the design stage, the new scoring system presents design with a gigantic challenge.
I'm not so starry-eyed that I expect humankind to get all lovey dovey and co-operate our way to sustainabliity.
Let's face it: We humans are rapacious and competitive by nature.
But when new rules turn "external" costs into internal costs….
When matter and energy flowing through the economic system have to be paid for….
Well, we'll just have to be rapacious and competitive in new ways.
Some of these new ways bare being tried out in Dott. So I look forward to seeing you at the Dott 07 Festival next October, somewhere on the bands of the River Tyne.

The Nature Conservancy in Colorado announced a new partnership with Backbone Media. A leader in conservation, the Conservancy is a science-based organization working to preserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Backbone will augment ongoing Conservancy efforts to educate the recreational community about their programs that focus on land, forests, water, resilient cities and climate.
"Preserving Colorado's natural resources has never been more important than it is today," said Carlos Fernández, The Nature Conservancy's Colorado state director. "We're always looking for new, creative ways to accomplish our mission. Backbone's experience in the outdoor space, and its relationships with local and national media, will be invaluable in our efforts."
The Conservancy recently celebrated 50 years of work throughout Colorado to conserve lands, protect water and restore forests. To date, the Conservancy has protected one million acres and one thousand river miles across the state. Their education and outreach efforts have also helped connect more people to the value of nature and its impact on an improved quality of life.
The Conservancy's work helps protect and restore places people live, work and play around the state. For example, the Colorado River is a key focus for the Conservancy and it supports a $26 billion recreational economy, almost $10 billion of which is generated in-state.
"The Conservancy is the gold standard when it comes to conservation," said Penn Newhard, partner at Backbone Media. "We're thrilled to be working with such an outstanding organization on issues near and dear to our hearts."

CMA-ES stands for Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy. Evolution strategies (ES) are stochastic, derivative-free methods for numerical optimization of non-linear or non-convex continuous optimization problems. They belong to the class of evolutionary algorithms and evolutionary computation. An evolutionary algorithm is broadly based on the principle of biological evolution, namely the repeated interplay of variation (via mutation and recombination) and selection: in each generation (iteration) new individuals (candidate solutions, denoted as x) are generated by variation, usually in a stochastic way, and then some individuals are selected for the next generation based on their fitness or objective function value f(x). Like this, over the generation sequence, individuals with better and better f-values are generated. In an evolution strategy, new candidate solutions are sampled according to a multivariate normal distribution in the mathbb{R}^n. Pairwise dependencies between the variables in this distribution are represented by a covariance matrix. The covariance matrix adaptation (CMA) is a method to update the covariance matrix of this distribution. This is particularly useful, if the function f is ill-conditioned. Adaptation of the covariance matrix amounts to learning a second order model of the underlying objective function similar to the approximation of the inverse Hessian matrix in the Quasi-Newton method in classical optimization. In contrast to most classical methods, fewer assumptions on the nature of the underlying objective function are made. Only the ranking between candidate solutions is exploited for learning the sample distribution and neither derivatives nor even the function values themselves are required by the method.

According to a report commissioned by the Independent Hospital Pricing Authority, hospital services have increasingly become funded by private insurers in recent years. In NSW, as much as 20% of public hospital services are being paid for by insurance companies, while the national average is 14%.
Public hospitals, desperate for funding, are incentivised to pursue revenue from private insurance companies, by encouraging patients with private cover to bill their insurers while staying. There is a growing concern that public hospitals are preferencing patients with private insurance over patients reliant on the public system. Additionally, there is worry that this could result in an increase of waiting times for patients in the already neglected public system.
Health insurance companies are up in arms over the news, furious that they are being forced to pay for expenses that have previously come out of the public purse. The right-wing media has used the report as an excuse to continue their ideologically driven campaign against Medicare, insisting that a 'user pays' system must be introduced in a more widespread way.
Michael Roff, the Australian Private Hospitals Chief Executive, has claimed that public hospitals are "driving up the cost of health insurance premiums, with funds paying more than $1 billion a year to public hospitals for patients to receive services that they are entitled to receive free of care under the Medicare hospital system".
Barely mentioned however, is that health insurance premiums were already high, with Australians spending some $21 billion a year on them! The so-called 'gap', the out of pocket costs of healthcare not covered by either Medicare or private insurance, is similarly expensive and this is forcing some patients with private cover to use the public system. Out of pocket expenses actually account for some 20% of all health spending in Australia. In the United Kingdom for comparison they account for only 10%.
There is abundant research that shows that out of pocket expenses are a major contributor to people not seeking treatment or purchasing prescription drugs. An Australian study from 2016 concluded that out of pocket costs were a significant barrier to healthcare for people with mental health conditions, and even cancer patients.
Another idea floated by right-wing commentators is to allow private insurers increased cover of out of hospital (outpatient) care, including GP's. Health insurance companies have dreamed of this for many years as this would open up another sector to profiteering, and undermine the practice of bulk billing.
Foundation Director of the Centre for Health Economics, Jeff Richardson, argued in 2014 that "One of the reasons we've managed to keep GP fees very low… is that bulk billing has been a very effective technique for competition to prevent [doctors] from raising fees. If we let the private sector in… we're really taking the lid off the can."
While Australia once had a mostly free and accessible healthcare system, there is no doubt that it is being eroded and the increasing reach of the private sector is steering us towards a US styled system. Already the encroachment of the private sector had led to pain and misery for working class people. To turn the situation around a bold approach to providing an alternative is necessary.
The first step to ensuring healthcare is accessible to all is bring the entire sector into public ownership. Healthcare should be seen as an essential service rather than a profit-making enterprise. In addition to hospitals and health services, the pharmaceutical industry should also be in public hands. This would allow us to put an end to the unnecessary high cost of prescription drugs.
By removing the profit motive, and utilising all of the sectors resources, we could not only cover the existing costs but also expand the system and include services like mental health and dental care. All medical care must be free at point of service, with no out of pocket expenses!
Only these measures can create a truly universal healthcare system and eliminate the problems caused by private healthcare and an under-resourced public system. As was the case when public healthcare was first won across Australia in the early 1970s, working class people will need to mobilise and fight to make this a reality.

Debunking myths is one of our primary jobs here at TruckingTruth. The amount of misinformation and the number of false presumptions in the trucking industry is staggering. We're always hoping that people will forget about the garbage they've heard elsewhere and consider what we're teaching with an open mind.
Rainy has debunked one of the most common myths you'll find in the trucking industry - that you're nothing but a truck number at the mega carriers. No one will care about you, no one will know your name.
If you do your job at a high level and make the effort to develop relationships within your company you'll be known by a long list of important people within your company, no matter how large that company may be.
Rainy works at Prime Inc, a company with over 8,000 drivers. Read her newest article to find out how well known she is within her company and how she made that happen:
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
Thank you for this article, Rainy. There is so much great information for drivers, no matter what company they work for.
I'm especially grateful as Prime is the company that I've had the best response from so far. My recruiter, Angela, is great. She's just as friendly as the people you describe in your article. Thanks again.
Stay safe out there! Colin K.
Great stuff Rainy!
I can confirm Rainy's experience at my company. Recently I got put in a loaner truck while mine went back to the dealer for some warranty work. My dispatcher shared with me a story that went on behind the scenes that I normally would not have even known about. But during a disagreement among some management personell over how to find me an available truck, our brand new terminal manager suggested they tell me they had one available even though they really didn't. This was an effort to make sure I was generating revenue for his terminal. The shop manager told him, "We can't do that to this driver. He is one of the nicest, and most productive drivers we have - we can't do him that way."
I know who this guy is, but had no idea he knew anything about me. All those management types get to know the driver's who are making things happen out here. If you are productive, safe, and easy to work with, you are well known at these big companies.
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
Thank you for this article, Rainy. There is so much great information for drivers, no matter what company they work for.
I'm especially grateful as Prime is the company that I've had the best response from so far. My recruiter, Angela, is great. She's just as friendly as the people you describe in your article. Thanks again.
Stay safe out there! Colin K.
Angela Gomez...shes awesome and honest. does her best
good luck!!!
Super-Fantastic and well-written article, Rainy! Should be required reading for everyone.
My firm belief is a driver; rookie or experienced must take personal responsibility for their individual success. This includes understanding the unwritten dynamic between driver managers (dispatchers) and their respective drivers. The most important ingredient is effective communication; not allowing things to just happen or not. Let them know what's going on. Constantly work on professional communication with the people directly affecting you job, because from a career perspective it's the most important set of relationships you'll have. And contrary to the myth, it's typically 2-4 people that really matter. If they do not know who you are, then you are nothing more than a number.
Understand what it took for Rainy to gain the respect and courtesy of the people she frequently interacts with. She communicates, opens herself up to others so that she can make a personal, professional connection. Accept the reality that although we are dealing with big heavy machines, trucking is a people business.
If anyone feels like just a number at their company, no matter the size, it's frankly their own fault.
Great article Rainy.
Operating While Intoxicated
Bumping this...important read for anyone considering a trucking career or beginning their training.
Rainy, thank you for very much for taking the time to write this article and sharing your experience with us. It was very well written and I found all of your insights and examples really helpful and actually inspiring, as I'm just beginning my journey into truck driving as a new second/mid-life career. I'm pretty excited but also kind of scared to death about it all (and rightly so) so it's good to be able to just lurk in the background and soak-up all of the sage wisdom and advice that everyone here is so willing to share for the benefit of us newbies and potential wannabes.
Thanks again, T
Counter evidence to the myth-buster only because it's so sad it's funny.
First off they didn't even know my name, they left a blank space (no I didn't blank it out) Second I'm still on the trainers truck, and the person who sent the message didn't know the truck number. Finally I've never been scheduled to go to the Red Roof Inn at that location. I have an apartment close to the school in Conley GA, where my official CDL will be mailed to. So while I'm not being treated like a number, I am being treated like a blank page. The good thing is so far the pay checks have cleared.
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
I tried to include a picture of the Qualcomm message, but it didn't work for some reason. I'll type the text.
Congrats I see is ready fo r upgrade, please come out of the Red Roof Inn at 6:10 a.m. to get on the sh uttle that brings you to SH, class sta rts at 7:30a.m. Bring your CDL , med card, training packet signed off on th e back page by the trainer and modules done. We look forward to having you in class

How to Time the Markets Like an Investing Pro - August 11, 2020
There is no better feeling for an investor than trusting your gut or doing your research and timing the markets correctly, right?
In fact, even among long-term investors who don't attempt to time the markets, being able to call the top of the market is a skill that many think they possess. This misguided confidence is often driving investors to sit on the sidelines and wait it out for better market opportunities.
Individual investors who focus their efforts on timing the market typically miss chances. For example, many investors have overlooked chances to benefit from buying the Construction stocks at the first opportunity, by attempting to buy them during a pullback only to see these stocks accomplish new unsurpassed highs: Apergy Corporation (CHX), Atlantia SpA (ATASY), Alfa Laval AB Unsponsored ADR (ALFVY), Altair Engineering Inc. (ALTR), Great Lakes Dredge Dock Corporation (GLDD)
Dread and exuberance regularly propel investors into merely 'reacting' to market volatility, rather than envisioning market trends.
Fruitful market timing requires three key parts: 1) A solid sign to guide you when to get in and out of stocks (or securities, gold or different kinds of investments). 2) The capacity to act on the sign accurately. 3) The control to follow up on it.
Many investors think of market timing success as a win or lose proposition. But there is a less notable, rather straightforward, successful market timing approach that has been utilized effectively time after time by astute investors like Warren Buffet.
Rule 1: Why trying to time the tops and bottoms of the market is a dead end.
Abandoning the goal to time the tops and bottoms precisely gives you the flexibility to profit, thereby increasing your chances to lock in built-up profits even if your calls aren't exactly right.
Rule 2: Don't sell during small crashes - ride the storm out, or better yet, take advantage of the opportunity.
Warren Buffett has made his fortune based of this straightforward guideline. He warns not to sell during small crashes, and weather the storm by focusing on the long term.
There is a noteworthy distinction between a complete market meltdown and a common 10% market correction. The theory is that if you like and bought a stock at a previous valuation prior to the correction, you should love the opportunity to this same at a steep discount since the underlying fundamentals are most likely still intact. Warren Buffett takes this idea further by frequently going on purchasing binges when the markets turn, basically purchasing extra shares of his top stock picks at a major markdown and doubling - down on his very own recommendations.
A Risk Adjusted Trading Strategy Should be Followed for Your Retirement Assets
It's just human that many surrender to emotions and attempt and game the framework by timing the market. But, think about this: Nobel Laureate William Sharpe found in 1975 that a market timer would need to be precise 74% of the time to beat a passive portfolio. Indeed, even a slight outperformance most likely wouldn't justify the efforts - and given that even the specialists for the most part come up short at it, market timing shouldn't be your exclusive methodology for investing, particularly when it comes to building your retirement nest egg.
Actively trading for alpha, outsized, short - term gains through market timing and other high - risk trading strategies is fine with a small portion of your investable assets, but for your longer - term retirement assets, a "risk -adjusted focused" investment solution generally makes more sense.

A four-year-old boy found his father's stolen pistol in his living room and accidentally shot himself to death with it Sunday morning, police say.
Jaiden Pratt had been visiting his father for the weekend; the father had been asleep on the couch in the apartment when the boy found the gun about 8:10 a.m. Sunday in the 13500 block of Northville.
He accidentally shot himself in the stomach, police say.
The father, 20-year-old Marquiez Deshon Pratt, has been charged with injury to a child by omission and possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.

Police say when they arrived in answer to a 911 call, Pratt "handed his son to responding officers and then ran back to his apartment."
Police officers chased him inside and found weed, crack and "scales and other items used to sell drugs," HPD says.
Police officers not involved in that foot chase performed CPR on the boy, to no avail. Police say the gun used was a stolen .40-caliber semiautomatic pistol, taken in a 2011 burglary.

I just finished a big and important project, and am ready for another art adventure. It starts today, and here are the details.
I am going to ride my bicycle along the Ohio River from Maysville, KY until I reach Paducah. From Paducah, I plan to follow the TN/KY border across the state until I reach the Daniel Boone National Forest. I will cycle north through the forest, making a giant loop through most of the great state of Kentucky.
While on this trip, my goal is to travel slow. I plan to stop often and make a lot of art while on the trip. I have been on a few long distance bike trips, and it's easy to get obsessed with miles-traveled-per-day and miss out on the reason for taking the trip in the first place!

- The World Most Famous Athlete and Richest Footballer is set to become one of the World's Top Earners.
- Cristiano Ronaldo is slowly becoming a top Investor with a lot of Companies, hotels, Gyms etc.…
World Richest footballer Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro moved from Real Madrid to Juventus last summer on an estimated
100 Million euros deal which left Real Madrid thinking there made some huge bucks out of a 33 year Old, But their decision on a reverse hit them hard on the face as they are left gasping for breath without their talisman. Already packing out of their best competition (Champions League) by a humiliating 1-4 defeat from Ajax.
The Portuguese however is having a brilliant season at the Old Lady having 25 goals and 10 assists, he was also the hero in the Bianconeri's Supernatural turn around against Athletico Madrid firing two goals with his head and converts a penalty kick to complete his hat-trick, already taking his name in the record's book for been the highest-scoring Portuguese player in the Italian top-flight since Rui Barros.
Cristiano Ronaldo at 34 is showing no signs of slowing down and has also steps up his game in Business and Investments. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star has numerous assets outside his football career, turning his Heroic name into a brand "CR7," the CR7 has many
companies, hotels and gym houses.

He recently launched his hair transplant clinic in conjugation with Insparya in Spain with the Portuguese carrying 50% shares in the Clinic, also appointing his fiancée Georgina Rodriguez as an administrator, Insparya is already a well-known hair transplants Company already having many branches in Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo is reported for spending over 25 million euros to purchased his shares with the Campany.
He has also invested in his own CR7 Hotel in a dual venture with Pestana Hotel Group. The Pestana CR7 Hotels has two branches in his Country (Portugal), one in his Home town Madeira and another in His capital city Lisbon, also fueling a move to open his hotels in Madrid.
He also has numerous of other assets such as, Cristiano Ronaldo Fragrance which is based in UK, CR7 Denim which is a Jeans manufacturing Company, CR7 Underwear, Zela a restaurant which has branches in London and Ibaza, CR7 Fitness a fitness empire which he intend to expand to up to 150 branches though it's only currently running in Madrid with two branches already.
The Portuguese also has his own Museum in his native Madeira which is curated by his own brother together with other ventures including his games in the smartphone market such as Cristiano Ronaldo Soccer Clash and Cristiano Ronaldo "Kick'n'Run".
And his Gulfstream G200 Private Jet worth 19million euros is also one of the superstar's assets with Dutton Invest which is also his company rents the aircraft for an estimated 3, 000 euros an hour, which left him with a staggering one million euros in 2018.
He is currently the richest player in football and the 3rd highest paid athlete on the planet, but his investment outside of football will soon land him a top spot in world's richest men, currently having an Estimated net worth of $450 Million.
Cristiano Ronaldo has also made great achievements in his playing career, apart from his huge earnings the Portuguese has been crowned the FIFA World Best (Balloon D'or) five times leveling his top rival Lionel Messi and also winning five UEFA Champions League to his name, three of those were in a historic Back to Back Win and the Portuguese has also won the EURO 2016 Completing him all major honours for both club and country, something his top rival (Lionel Messi) cannot boast of as he is yet to receive a major trophy with his side Argentina losing two Copa America finals to Chile and a World Cup Final against Germany.
Hopefully Cristiano Ronaldo will be counted as World Highest Earners if he still keep the pace he is currently running in both football endorsement and investments.

Make your home safe from winter storms. Most people get injured or killed during winter storms because they were not prepared. Being exposed to such elements can cause hypothermia. Winter storms can cause severe weather and make traveling virtually impossible.
Freezing temperatures, icy roads, strong winds, hail, sleet and heavy rains can last for days with no end in sight. It's important to be prepared for such conditions. Here are some important survival tips:
- Ensure your home is properly insulated. Make all attempts to keep the cold air out.
- Insulate your water pipes by wrapping (use newspaper, plastic, etc) them so they don't freeze. Know where the main water valve shut off is and how to turn it off.
- Let your faucets drip. This can help keeping the pipes from freezing over.
- If using a portable heating device to stay warmer, don't sleep next to them and keep all flammable material (mainly blankets) away. Keep a fire extinguisher in the home in case of an emergency.
- Have your home checked for any structure damage before and after severe weather has passed or when time and conditions permit. Severe storms bring destructive elements that could cause structural damage to your home.
- Insulate your pipes with by wrapping them in newspaper and plastic wrap. In addition, let your faucets drip a little during freezing weather. This will help prevent your pipes from freezing.
These are some things to look for and take care of before a winter storm occurs. These precautions could potentially help keep your family safe from injury or even death.
It is important to know that it is not recommended you travel in severe winter storms. If you must drive or if you are stranded in your car, here are some important survival tips:
Preparations to make on your vehicle before the winter storm:
- Make sure gas tank if filled.
- Check to make sure the car battery and ignition are working properly.
- Check to make sure the heater and defroster are working properly.
- Get a full vehicle inspection to ensure it is working properly (check: lights, tires, fluids and liquids are topped off, etc).
- Load vehicle up with extra blankets and warm clothing.
- Have an emergency survival kit accessible (within reach).
Only travel if you must. It is very dangerous to attempt to drive during a winter storm. This precautions could potentially help keep your loved ones safe from injury or even death.
How to Prepare
Winter storms happen all the time. These storms are very unpredictable so preparing is the best thing you can do.
- Get Information
Know what to do after a winter storm. Know and learn what local, state and federal resources are available to you and where you can go to get help, if any. Keep in mind that resources may be limited so try not to rely on government entities to offer much help or assistance in the beginning.
- Have A Plan
Discuss and train before a winter storm occurs and make all attempts to be prepared as much as possible. Every family member should have a role to play and know what to do before, during and after a winter storm hits. Make sure they know the location of all emergency kits, where to meet, who to contact, and much more. Here are some questions to consider:
- who will be in charge and give instructions and directions on the search and recovery?
- what exits are closest to you and how will you safely get out?
- when is it a good time to start start moving around or start evacuating?
- where will you go or where will everyone meet up? Is there a rally point?
- why do we need a plan? why do I need to learn what to do?
Having a well thought out plan can have a major impact on the outcome of an emergency.
- Prepare An Emergency Kit
The kit should contain the following basic items:
- food
- water
- fire
- shelter
- first aid/medications
- communication
- alternative energy source
- clothing (cold weather, blankets)
- weapons
- gear
Other essential tools to have available would be shovels, snow removal equipment, rock salt and perhaps some sand. This will make clean up and being able to safely walk around a bit easier to do.
Prepare a cold weather emergency kit (or several kits) with enough resources to last at least 3 days. If possible, keep at least 2 different kits so that family members can have options of reaching them. Take into consideration the family member count and what particular items are considered essential to survive (medications, certain types of foods, etc).
Part of being a good citizen is not being dependant on the government, especially after a disaster. Emergency services will be stretched extremely thin in the aftermath of a such a disastrous event. Preparing for an emergency allows first responders to help those who truly need assistance instead of helping you who (now) knows better and could have prepared for the unknown.
If you have a family, you are well acquainted with the responsibility that comes with caring for them. Preparing for a disaster is simply part of providing for and protecting your family. Not to prepare would be like failing to provide a warm coat for your child on a bitterly cold winter day.

Example: What is your favorite DEF LEPPARD song to play live? #VIVAHysteria
As drummer for the English hard rock band DEF LEPPARD, Rick Allen knows what it's like to be on top of the musical world. After a near-fatal auto accident in 1984, he also knows what it's like to completely lose his left arm to amputation — and the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that almost destroyed his will to live. "I didn't know what my life would be like after that terrible day," says Rick. "It was the darkest time in my life. And, even today, I still consider myself a work in progress."
Rick began perfecting his use of a specially designed electronic drum kit so he could play with one arm. And perfect he did indeed; the resulting DEF LEPPARD album — "Hysteria" — sold more than 20 million copies worldwide.
Rick founded the Raven Drum Foundation, which provides drum circles to Wounded Warrior to help encourage healing from PTSD. Other efforts of Rick's foundation include Resiliency Radio, where he broadcasts programs geared toward rebuilding a healthy life. This includes interviews with WWP teammates and other warriors.

Artists in Aleppo start "Afrin Art", a project for lockdown
A group of Aleppo artists tried to benefit from the lockdown by developing a project called 'Afrin Art'.
The lockdown announced to try and prevent the coronavirus outbreak, has caused great changes in daily life.
A group of Aleppo artists tried to benefit from the lockdown by developing a project called 'Afrin Art'. The project includes 27 artists who all communicate via social media. They talk about their arts, work, projects.
Royar Bekir is one of the members of the group and shares the painting she draws on the wall of her room with the other group members. She does so over the internet and receives the criticism and suggestions from her friends.
The main purpose of the project is to enable artists to share their experiences and promote artistic seminars.
Expressing her satisfaction about this new way of working which actually turned the lockdown into an opportunity for artists in the neighborhoods of Sheikh Maqsoud (Şêxmeqsûd) and Ashrafiyah (Eşrefiyê), Royar Bekir told ANHA that the artists actually plan to carry on the project throughout the curfew.

For Natalie Portman, it was just the beginning. Science-fiction projects gave her first brushes with Rotten ratings Mars Attacks! That came after Portman was absent from the screen a few years following mildly compelling if safe turns in two Thor movies.
Stars on nipples are for the weak. Natalie Portman wore a very sexy dress especially for her to the premiere of Lucy in the Sky! View the pictures Via Popoholic. Natalie Portman walked the red carpet at the Toronto Film Festival and she sure looked nice.
A signal virtue of both the film and the novel is the refusal to make the main character, a young New Yorker named Emilia, immediately or easily likable. Even though she is marked, from the beginning, by serious grief — reeling from the recent death of her infant daughter — Emilia does not seem like a candidate for unconditional sympathy. Later it will turn out that this habit of self-exculpation masks a deeper tendency toward self-blame, but in any case Emilia is an interestingly complicated person.

Well organized and great customer service. Any changes in logistics were rectified quickly. Adam Goodpaster 09/13/2019
I just wanted to say thank you so much! I had an emergency come up when another hauler called me and backed out of my job on the morning I needed it! I called as many people as I could and nobody could get me a replacement dumpster quickly. That was until I spoke to David. He was able to get me just what I needed and with a really quick turn-around. I felt like I was the only client he had that day. It's nice to be treated like you're a person and not a number! Thanks guys. I don't know when I'll need to use your services again, but I will 100% call you when and if I do. Highly recommended! Leslie Stephens 08/02/2016
I was moving my mom into an assisted living facility and needed get everything out of her house quickly so it could be sold to pay for her living expenses. I talked to Daren and he helped me find just the right size. He obviously knows his stuff and walked me through the process. It was really easy and everything went great. I got disconnected during the middle of the call but they call me right back, not sure why it did. Thank you. Jason Pickett 05/31/2016

'It's beautiful, but the statement it makes is much bigger'
WHAT used to be a bare patch of wall has now become a symbol of unity for the Clarence Valley community.
On Sunday, Toast Espresso customers were delighted to learn that the cafe's recent renovations also included a large indigenous mural.
Kamilaroi woman Maddy Richey and Bundjalung woman Bianca Monaghan spent three days creating the mural.
"It tells the story of how our three nations are connected by this river and how Toast is one of the meeting places where all three nations can feel comfortable," muralist Bianca Monaghan said.
"To me, that's the thing with this painting; it's beautiful but the statement it makes is much bigger."
Revealing a beautiful, very special part of our renovations... Maddy Richey & Bianca Monaghan have painted a great...Posted by Toast Espresso on Saturday, 5 September 2020
Toast Espresso owner Mark Hackett said the creative process was just as valuable as the finished product.
"Maddy and Bianca were up and down that ladder for three days while (my wife) Judy and I were nearby working on other renovations and it became this organic situation where we were chatting with them, learning about the stories behind the images; it was just amazing," he said.
Mr Hackett said the idea first started when an employee showed him a painting of the cafe.
"Tanisha Martin made this beautiful image that represented Toast as a meeting place which branched out to different social and cultural communities, to show that it's a place where everyone is welcome," he said.
For Ms Monaghan, this welcome feeling has been present in the cafe for years.
"When I get my coffee, they always put something on the cup, like the Aboriginal flag, or a little note that says 'have a deadly day'," she said.
"It's those little things that make you feel loved, that make you want to go back, and that's what you want from a local business."
