If only we could pay ourselves handsomely! Whilst constantly failing to execute perform and deliver true Eco-Socially Responsible Economic Development. Rewarding ourselves with bonuses for short-termism driven objectives.
But they do say behaviour breeds behaviour. As we now have to collectively contend with Energy Companies charging whatever they want or feel they can get away with. Doesn't it sound like PPI "Payment Protection Insurance" all over again.
Honesty is the best policy and imagination is more important than knowledge if we collectively cooperate, collaborate our combined energies to create more meaningful alternatives. A vital difference that will quantum leap change, call it our own insurance policy.
Therefore we gratefully request that you help QU & ARK to execute, perform and deliver educational content, stage, medium and platform. That will not only educate our audience but also the powers that be. So we are not all politically held to ransom.
Via the creation of an allocentric brand i.e. community minded, more than an ordinary mutual, not any old cooperative but a partnership by the people for the people. Whose preferential interests are our collective interests.
#QU4ARK an idea in the making, a creative concept evolving and true vision maturing. That will alter public perception of brands attitude, behaviour and culture. Leading by example, an exemplar as our collective cooperation and collaboration will alter attitudes, behaviour and culture. So #QU4ARK trust us implicitly, as we are you, as we all yearn for a clear, concise and coherent Eco-Socially Responsible Sustainable Economic Development Model. That's kind to our ecology, caring towards our environment and a logical long-term driven economic initiative, that offer real value for our future economy. So let's collectively cooperate, collaborate and combine our energies and make this long-term driven initiative happen.
QU & ARK still may not have an ethical pot to piss in but nor are we pissing in the wind appertaining to our core values and principles and or compromising those down the drain. In total seven offers of investment have been made throughout and during the course of 2013 the latter offer in November being the most compelling. As the individual person and party concerned are not even slightly interested in an ROI "Return On Investment" what so ever! As they truly believe in the work we are doing and the objectives we hope to accomplish. Perhaps setting a much needed precedent for the importance of our work!
We've had invites via Ministers of Foreign Affairs to Brussels European Parliament. To high level conferences CSR Competitive Society Reignited. Creating and enabling environment for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.
Along with honoured and privileged VIP invitations to Sustainia Awards Ceremony at the Royal Danish Theatre Copenhagen in the Capital of Denmark. http://www.sustainia.me/ https://vimeo.com/77503997
With a final invitation and submission via http://architizer.com/ into their annual prestigious annual A+Awards. A definitive global architectural awards program with 60 + gategories and over 200 judges. It's an opportunity to be recognized amongst the best in the profession.
There is undoubtedly a correlation between Brussels and Copenhagen via Sustiania's Founding Partners but none with Architizer that we can see. Which is a good thing for the small QU & ARK drops are making a ripple in the water and one small decision can affect all of our life's in the simplest way. Good, bad or indifferent but we prefer the former as opposed to the latter or the middle.
I am extremely optimistic about my future and that of QU & ARK's. However I am extremely pessimistic about the future otherwise out with the sphere of QU & ARK ideas, concepts and vision. Financially and economically, just as I am about our national and international energy security. Peak credit and peak energy should concern us all, artificial, inflated and too highly geared markets should also gravely concern us also. As the continual contracting and failing to correct itself impacts us all, or rather is continuing to impact us all. Perhaps like failing, markets cannot and will not correct themselves until they literally collapse?
It's quite daunting, even extremely surreal to have a Buckminster Fuller or Howard Hughes "I Can See The Future" revelation, epiphany or wake up call? Even A New Year's Resolution but it's the same dream I've had over and over again but why is it that only I feel that the whole of humanity is pissing in milk bottles, certainly in respect of the unsustainability of our current built environment. For if humanity identifies, qualifies and quantifies QU & ARK can rectify our future, why is it they cannot or will not verify what we have? For the answers lie within us, not the politicians, bankers and captains of industry that are oblivious or ignorant to our needs! Whilst protecting their own interests.

Good afternoon dear friends QU&ARKer's I want to share threads of exchanges with someone via linkedIn perhaps who possesses the skills of say Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg even Kim Dotcom in "Information Technology." It's a foregone conclusion that QU & ARK will have to work towards our own medium, stage & platform to ultimately "Amplify" our message, story & journey. Therein lies the value!
http://www.linkedin.com/
Hi Scott
I'm flattered, I give my great thanks. I think that is the right direction, we can't keep using combustion forever, we need to move forward, and preferably very soon.
Certainly, please feel free to share our correspondence!
Wishing you a great day and wonderful rest of the week.

So you think we might be heading in the right direction then? Lol Do you mind "???" if I share our exchanges obviously understand and appreciate even if I have use a pseudonym! Furthermore I've had a chance to revue your skills, expertise & background, impressive. Remember when the advertising executive in "The Social Network" didn't get it when Mark Zuckerberg pitched him when nearly at 1M subscribers bet he get's it now. Just as Google also wanted to buy Facebook for a snip at $1Bn.

"We cannot meet a sustainable future by doing what we unsustainably did in the past." ~ Scott Northcott.
However, that being said, every action has either a positive or negative reaction. QU & ARK Affordable Eco-Modular Flood Proof Housing Off Grid or Micro Grid is an extremely imaginative concept and vision, however the necessity of this initiative further highlights the volatility of our current built environment, intertwined with the unpredictable intensity of our ever changing weather patterns.
Restraint, or rather the lack of it, has ultimately got us all here. We all have to take personal responsibility for the absence of prudence, caution and conservationism. This is why I'm doing what I'm doing. Artificially inflated and highly geared property values, added to the sky-rocketing price of utilities, plus, plus, plus weekly food prices hikes are adversely affecting nearly every household throughout our world.
The potential negative reaction by designing, engineering and producing a far superior, but especially more affordable built environment are the potential negative financial impact, but for whom? Politicians? Financial Institutions? Regulators? Or you personally? Based on recent economic failures thus far the consequence of other's presumed actions or inactions fall back to you as a taxpayer! Ultimately, you pay the price via your mortgage, rent, gas, electric, water, food etc etc etc.
Can you afford to ignore this? Can you also afford to be ignorant of increasing evidence that suggests that ownership or rents are unaffordable in a third of the UK? This probably applies to most of the built environment in our world, certainly in built up urban sprawl. According to the +BBC News Find out where you can afford to live http://t.co/vgEN4WwsFe QU & ARK isn't in this listing but *You* can help to change this, right here, right now! Or should we wait until two thirds of the UK becomes extortionate?
Artificial, inflated and highly geared environments will inevitably fail of their own accord. It's as predictable as Economist Nouriel "Doctor Doom" Roubini predicted the 2008 crash or Great Depression http://www.roubini.com/
Balanced habitats and environments that offer an equilibrium will remain constantly stable through the longevity they provide and offer. The time has never been better than now to do something and take action http://www.facebook.com/QU4ARK.
Those of you observing my message, story and journey have witnessed those courting me and others luring me, perhaps? Time will tell. There has also been the suggestion that when the money arrives will QU & ARK's manifesto be delivered? The answer is simple, until I've been courted by a like minded person or kindred spirit, even organisation, as ethical or allocentric, determined and unwavering as QU & ARK there will be continued rejection of those that don't meet that criteria.
"I've never really understood the outsourced labour cost argument verses local, traceable indigenous cost. Intertwined with the social and economic associated benefits and I'm no economist. Sadly nor will you or most of us now at the precipice of economic disaster." ~ Scott Northcott.

Addressing the Energy-Water-Food challenge
Hosted by Dick Benschop, President Director Shell Netherlands and Jeremy Bentham, Vice President Global Business Environment 27th September 2012
By 2050, the population of Earth is likely to reach nine billion. As living standards improve, many will also rise out of poverty and live longer, healthier lives.
Yet the world’s growing prosperity will also put stresses on energy, water and food supplies - all of which are closely intertwined. Water is needed for almost all forms of energy production; energy is needed to treat and transport water; and both water and energy are needed to grow food.
In the coming decades, these vital resources will come under even greater pressure. According to the United Nations, by 2030 the world’s growing population and increased prosperity will push up global demand for water by 30%, energy by 40% and food by 50%.
Scott Northcott
Scott Northcott Visionary & Founder of The QU Consortium &The ARK Foundation, Buckinghamshire, England. Good morning Dick Benschop & Jeremy Bentham, plus all colleagues at Shell. My question is what is Shell doing verses other corporation to exceed & excel in attaining or working towards equilibrium & balance to safe guard our depleting natural finite resources?
Dick benschop
Hi Scott, thanks for your question. Through partnerships with environmental experts and by using new technologies we are finding ways to help reduce the impact of our operations on the environment. We plan to spend $100 billion from 2011-2014 to support new energy production. We are entering more challenging environments to unlock new resources and boosting production from existing fields so that the rate of depletion might not be that once thought. At the same time, we are using new technologies and an innovative approach to limit our impact on the environment and find effective ways to engage with communities near to our operations. Considering our impact on the environment runs through everything we do.
New Lens Scenarios: A shift in perspective for a world in transition
Hosted by Jeremy Bentham 3rd June 2013
Shell's webchat, led by Jeremy Bentham and an expert panel, took questions from participants across the globe on the recent thinking from Shell's New Lens Scenarios. It explored what the world might look like over the 21st century and how the energy mix could develop given various social, economic and political trends.
Scott Northcott
From a Public Relations perspective as one of the largest petroleum organisations in the world it would be prudent, cautious & conservative, plus Eco-Ethical kudos to execute, perform & deliver a balanced equilibrium in energy terms i.e. carbon & clean 50/50 mix. Obviously there are associated benefits over & above environmental attributes, such as economic and financial. Whilst QU & ARK hasn't shared our allocentric “Community Minded” concept, vision & dreams for a balanced world & equilibrium I can categorically assure you there is not an organisation in the world doing what we are about to embark on. Recent world events have proved that unless social, economic and political trends are met unrest & dissatisfaction, plus turmoil will prevail. Therefore we all need to be Eco-Socially Responsible in meeting consumers expectation beyond a mere & pure monetary perspective.
Charles Kalshoven
Thanks Scott, what comes out of the scenario work is the need for collaboration between governments, NGOs, businesses to cope with resource stresses related to energy, water and food. The demand for water energy and food could rise by 40-50% in 2030. Both scenarios have their own challenges though.

Views opinions & perspectives on micro energy generation verses macro?
Richard Moore
Thanks for your question Scott. In Mountains policies tend to drive macro responses whereas in Oceans market forces dominate, so we may see more micro solutions emerge, particularly as energy prices are expected to be higher, incentivizing consumers.
Scott Northcott
Thank you Richard Moore for your reply QU & ARK have identified, qualified, quantified, plus rectified, whilst constantly verifying micro alternative energy sources harnessing Earth, Water, Air, and Fire that are cost effective but more to the point efficient.

It is fair to say that the protection of green belts are as vitally important to Shell as they are to the rest of humanity. Whilst we cannot bulldozer the current inefficient built environment. We can all be responsible for the evolution of the next built environment i.e. "The Paradigm Shift."
Esther Bongenaar
Hi Scott, I would say it is important to Shell too. We analyse the differences between compact and urban-sprawl cities. A supplement publication on compact cities will be published in some time, in which we will share our findings.

Hi Esther "Restraint" is the change-maker & those that attain plus achieve this will exceed not only their employees expectations but achieve consumer kudos.

Less Is More

Less is more! Can less really equal more? < = > Micro energy verses macro energy! Fixing something after the problem has already occurred by trying to close Mother Natures stable and barn door after she's let loose her fiery raging horses. I really feel for the people of America Hurricane Sandy last year which brought down the National Grid like a domino effect, simplistic chain reaction easily understand if one is not an engineer or electrician. Now the horrific images of Oklahoma Twister reputed to have been the worst they've ever seen and experienced. Most certainly felt and look that way to me as I gasped with shock and horror at the devastating images I've ever witnessed by the 200 miles per hour, that's an incredible 320 Kilometers per hour raging storm. Thoughts and prayers to the people of Oklahoma, I've certainly been shocked and horrified by the images I've seen reported over the past few days, even now whilst I am writing this post. Very alarming and poignant realizations now that various critical building methodologies, such as cells and pod design ideologies saved life's as well as the day. There's perhaps a message in that type of execution, delivery and performance by the way the built environment hasn't transpired? Analysis and evaluation will materialize long after the storm has calmed but perhaps a far greater public storm will brew. P.S. Let us not forget Haiti, along with the rest of the inhabitants of the Caribbean. Along with the residents of Fukushima, all stark portraits of how the current built environment ideologies are failing.
My previous post earlier this month "The Best Place On Earth" ethos was supported by "Creating the Best Work Place on Earth" article within the prestigious and academically acclaimed Harvard Business Revue. Here's the link again http://hbr.org/2013/05/creating-the-best-workplace-on-earth/ar/1?utm_campaign=Socialflow&utm_source=Socialflow&utm_medium=Tweet
Perhaps authenticity is attained and achieved by ourselves "Watching Much Less And Doing So Much More." for we 'All' have the ability to make evaluation of events as they unfold and unravel before us, in an unbiased, sympathetic manner for genuine concern and compassion for all of humanity. For your own house, abode or castle may not have been washed away or even swept away by the torrents of tsunamis and tornadoes but we are all responsible for how our planet evolves.
I'll finish in the same vain as I started "Less Is More" extremely refreshing indeed that events, situations, scenarios and circumstances are materializing around me to support my historical train of thought. That might has been seen like rants and raves but I have never relied on opinion and approval of others to rubber stamp what I fundamentally feel passionate about and compelled to do, plus inspired to vigorously pursue, by influencing attitudes, behaviour and culture towards "Changing Built Environment Paradigms."

Edit Post
To fulfill this assurance we need to name a global brand in the world that we trust implicitly? That imaginatively inspires us all by creating constant and meaningful change, plus vital difference! That's navigated you away from the eye of the storm by sailing you to calmer waters. With all hands on deck, with sufficient lifeboats for all the passengers in an extremely robust and sturdy vessel. Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones recently wrote a combined article in the Harvard Business Revue entitled "Creating The Best Work Place On Earth." Whether it be political, industrial, commerce, banking or finance, regulatory or charitable collaboration needs to occur as I, me, you, us, we, the collective cannot meet our futures by doing what we did in the past.
Each and every person I meet on this journey on a day to day basis, from the ordinary man and woman on the street to the high flying chief executive of a global business I ask the same question. Name a global brand in the world that you trust implicitly? That imaginatively inspires you by creating constant and meaningful change, plus vital difference! The vast majority struggle to give an answer with vague or numbed facial expression. Which would explains the current dissatisfaction and disillusionment amongst the general public as a global consensus as a whole. There are undoubtedly some parallels between Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones research and mine. They established effective leadership needs to be authentic as people will not follow what they feel is inauthentic. But to be truly authentic themselves people need to be employed and work for an authentic organisation.
Therein lies the problematic challenge or the vast opportunity dependent on your own personal perspective. So the company or organisation of your dreams remains largely aspirational, or does it? They offer their findings as a global challenge, an international agenda for leaders and organisations that aim to create the most productive and rewarding working environment possible. Myself and QU & ARK rose to that challenge quite some time ago. Although with all the thorns on that prickly bush the sweet smell of a blossoming flower that flourishes in all our bountiful gardens, fundamentally relies on. Fertile soil, organic seeds, ample nurturing and pruning of the prickly thorns on a withering bush.

DOSS Bigger Society
Tuesday, April 02, 2013 |

Edit Post
Depending on where in Scotland the term 'Doss' is used, determines what meaning is intended to be conveyed. In Edinburgh for example, if Bob was to call his mate Tam a "Doss C..t", he would be using the term as an adjective to mean thick, useless, stupid. However, if the term 'Doss' is used in Perthshire, Angus where I'm from and the North East then it is generally intended to mean...Ace, fantastic, shit-hot etc...Edinburgh "Git a Fu..ing haud o yersel ye doss c..t." Perthshire "Did you see Liverpool in the European Cup last night, it was pure doss!" Every days a school day!!!
How am I conveying 'Doss'... & in which context, plus meaning? Well I'm playing around with words I'm being facetious, appropriate humour as opposed to inappropriate humour. Respectful again as opposed to disrespectful humour, respect is something that has to be earned and very little of that has been fairly or justly earned these days. The meaning to me is based on my fond childhood memories based on the Arbroath, Angus, Scotland analogy and terminology but for the purposes of this poignant post. My acronym has been abbreviated to serve a purpose of a view, opinion and perspective of the current 'Bigger Society.'
Depressed, Oppressed, Suppressed, Shagged. - "Doss Bigger Society."
Yes I'm being facetious but moving on swiftly it's quite appropriate that I've delayed my March post due to a mixture of reasons that I wont bore you with. Especially after the Archbishop of Canterbury's Justin Welby's first sermon, if it's meant to be it will be and March's post was meant to be written today. Perhaps there were greater forces at work delaying my wordsmith-ship to collaborate with other current events, parallels and synergies etc? The Ex-Oiligarchy who left the oil industry in 1989 obviously had a religious epiphany and calling, shame that hadn't rubbed off on some of the Oiligarchy I've met throughout the duration of this journey. He warned against "The Hero Leader" culture or putting our trust in one person as this can lead to false hope. Or as I would say no hope! He also said if we ignore "complexity and humanity" we end up "unreasonably disappointed" with everyone. He urged society to recognise "human fallibility" but in my opinion society as a whole knows we are only human and therefore are all fallible but it's politicians, bankers and captains of industry that seem to be immune to their failings! It's the rest of society that suffers financially for their continued failings. "Setting people or institutions up to heights where they cannot but fail is just mere cruelty, " he added. I beg to differ and disagree again, as it's politicians, bankers and bad stewardship that creates institutions that become too big for their boots or too big to fail based on lacks regulation, insufferable restraint via monopolies and mergers.
Lead by example, behaviour breeds behaviour, scholars and gentleman where have they all gone? If politicians cant practice restraint, how can they expect bankers to? and if politicians cant be prudent, cautious and conservative either, how again can they also expect bankers to follow a lead that does not exist? There in lies the problem!
CrossTalk via RT Crisis Capitalism No April Fool
We need to create Eco-Socially Responsible organisations for the people by the people globally. Allocentric in values, plus principles, community minded, concerned with the interests of others more than one's own. With a psychological dimension which corresponds to the general cultural dimension of collectivism, believe, feel, and act very much like change-makers and different shakers, plus collectivists do around the world. Preferential shares for individuals not institutions, that's the only way to change a corporate culture that is inbreed from the top down. People need to take the lead and lead by example, the initiative to create a new model that makes the old model obsolete. If we cap our own desires, aspirations, wants and needs, perhaps those at the top will inclined to follow suit. Allocentric people tend to be independent, define themselves in terms of a group that they are part of and behave according to that group's cultural norms. They tend to have a sense of duty and share beliefs with other allocentrics among their in-group. Allocentric people appear to see themselves as an extension of their in-group and allow their own goals to be subsumed by the in-group's goals. Additionally, allocentrism has been defined as giving priority to the collective self over the private self, particularly if these two selves happen to come into conflict.
So humanity has tried communism, socialism, capitalism perhaps it's now time for allocentrism. QU & ARK is following this ideology, philosophy & idealism.
Help us create a DOSS Bigger Society in the Angus and East Coast sentiment i.e. Ace, fantastic, shit hot...A's, B's and C's Attitude, Behaviour and Culture!
