LotLinx, a programmatic advertising vendor for car dealers, has appointed Cox Automotive veteran Bill Reidy as chief revenue officer. He replaces Sean Peoples, who left LotLinx in November to take a job at SureSale.

Reidy (LinkedIn profile) will focus on leading results-driven training programs for LotLinxs sales team, according to the hiring announcement.

Chicago-based LotLinx has built a business around programmatic advertising. Its dealer clients can buy targeted marketing campaigns for specific vehicles in their inventory. LotLinx says it allows dealers to focus ad spend on hard-to-sell vehicles rather than high-demand ones that sell themselves.

Reidy, with more than 10 years of sales and sales-training experience, spent 2008 through 2012 as sales director at dealership software company vAuto, which was acquired during his tenure by Cox Automotive.

Reidy has held other leadership roles at dealer services provider KPA, dealer-to-dealer wholesale platform DealerMatch and automotive digital marketing firm Netsertive.

Most recently, he was president of PWRhouse Consulting, a training center for senior salespeople and business leaders.

Bill is a well-respected training expert with founders knowledge in the art of inventory optimization, Len Short, LotLinx Chairman and CEO, said. He wasnt looking for a job, but came to believe that the LotLinx technology, timing, and position was an opportunity to make waves in retail automotive again.

Sales Training and Onboarding Software Market Projected to Witness Vigorous Expansion by 2020-2027 - Factory Gate

Most people in the rental industry expected 2020 to be another good year, continuing a long stretch of growth years going back to the recovery from the Great Recession of 2007-2009. But, as it turned out, the number 20 was not the dominant number in a year most would like to forget. The number was 19 as in COVID-19 and it changed the world, causing the deaths, as of this writing, of 281,000 in the United States and 1.53 million people worldwide.

In the rental industry, COVID-19 changed the way everyone does business. For the most part, nobody can enter a rental business without a mask or facial covering, and drivers and sales staff cant go on a jobsite without a mask either, if they can go onsite at all. Rental customers and other visitors generally must observe social distancing and counter staff in many rental centers sit behind plexiglass protectors. Equipment is meticulously cleansed before being delivered or brought out to a customer, and most jobsites are equally careful in keeping equipment clean and protecting operators. At least we hope thats the case.

And we dont know how long this will go on. While, as of this writing, vaccines are on the horizon, we still arent sure how effective theyll be, how available theyll be, and when life will really go back to normal. Even that, most likely, will be a new normal.

With many jobs postponed or cancelled, needless to say, its no surprise that the American Rental Association is forecasting a 13-percent decline in equipment and event rental revenue this year compared to 2019, dropping to $48.7 billion in the United States, with a slight 0.3-percent uptick projected for 2021.

RER spoke with a few dozen rental executives for this article and found many similarities, although the range of responses was surprisingly wide, both in 2020 results and expectations for 2021.

The aerial rental segment has been particularly hard hit.

The pandemic has truly affected our company and other equipment rental companies and distributors, says Larry Workman, owner of Illini Hi-Reach, Crown Point, Ind., which focuses in northern Indiana and the Chicagoland area. Estimating that rental revenues are down in the 25 to 35 percent range starting back in March 2020. Layoffs and reduced work force/work weeks are common in our area and are still in place at most companies I am familiar with.

Lance Renzulli at High Reach Co. in Florida adds that rental and sales fell 15 to 20 percent. Bob Kendall, of Star Rentals in Seattle, says his company also dropped in revenue although not as severely.

Our fiscal year-end numbers for 2020 are rental revenues down 7.5 percent and total revenue down 7 percent, Kendall says. The governor of Washington shut down all construction in late March for five to six weeks, which took a pretty good bite out of things. Overall, our business has remained steady but at a modestly reduced rate.

The impact has varied by end-user segment, says Bill Gex, president, Anderson Equipment Co. Residential construction continues to be strong. People are moving out of urban areas like New York and Boston, which has kept contractors very busy. Our markets in New England are actually up this year. Residential work is also strong in the eastern New York and Pittsburgh markets. On the other hand, non-residential and infrastructure work is fading. The economy was very strong at the beginning of the year and contractors were very busy. However, as contracts were completed, replacement work has softened considerably. The lack of an additional stimulus package and the current wave of COVID cases has created a lot of uncertainty with our customers.

For some, business has continued strong, such as heavy earthmoving rental company LaLonde Equipment Rentals in Signal Hill, Calif.

2020 has been a great year for us, says president Brian LaLonde. I actually feel guilty because so many industries and individuals are struggling but we have been very fortunate.We did have some jobs temporarily shut down in the beginning of the pandemic like the [Los Angeles] Rams SoFi Stadium, but infrastructure work is classified as essential in California, so we have been busy.

Our overall business is up 16 percent, with our compact equipment business up 22 percent, heavy equipment up 5 percent, says Walter Berry of Berry Companies. [But] material handling business is down 17 percent. The housing market in the metro areas we serve is driving the business.

I believe the rental industry only survived as well as it did in Q2 and Q3 because of the massive government stimulus, says Glenn Leppo of Leppo Group. Businesses got PPP [Paycheck Protection Program]. [Many people] were working from home and couldnt travel. These factors, together with low interest rates combined to drive a surge in new home construction, remodeling, and upgrades like pools and patios. Absent that stimulus, that one bright spot in the construction market will disappear since non-residential and multi-family housing construction are both down.

The Entertainment Venue business accounts for approximately 20 percent of our annual revenue.This complete industry was a casualty of the 2020 pandemic, says Mike Madej of Altorfer Cat Rental Power. The local events (PGA tour, NASCAR, Lollapalooza, and outdoor summer festivals) were all canceled or greatly affected this year. Although we took a large hit in our Entertainment Venue rentals, storm-related rentals more than made up for the void.Our team was able to provide temporary power for all major hurricanes that made U.S. landfall in this historic storm season.

Existing revenue is down 10 to 15 percent, but online sales for new customers, is up significantly, say Scott Cannon, CEO of BigRentz, which specializes in online rentals. There definitely has been a pendulum shift towards online rental. Weve adapted well to being remote and, overall, our operations havent been impacted much.

Communication breakdown

The rental industry has always been based on personal relationships. Rental companies dont just rely on clever advertising to attract customers. Sending sales staff out to jobsites on a daily basis, forging personal relationships with customers, has been the essence of the industry since its inception, with many owners and executives also spending the bulk of their time developing relationships with contractors and builders.

These person-to-person contacts have been strongly challenged in 2020, and likely will continue to be for the foreseeable future. On many jobsites now, visitors are allowed only by appointment, and in many cases not at all. And while these ties have in the past been strengthened and project deals discussed in person or over lunch, now talks over meals are less likely as restaurants and bars in most areas are only open for takeout.

Maintaining existing relationships isnt too hard, says Gex. Developing new accounts is more challenging as customers are somewhat hesitant to meet with someone they dont know.

All of the tools that were considered social media tools have become essential business tools, says Frank Bardonaro, chief operating officer, Maxim Craneworks. That being said, there is still the need for onsite meetings to lay out the projects in many locations. This has been done safely by following the local work rules.

Illinis Workman calls the pandemics effect on relationships enormous.

Jobsites are closed to most sales contacts, and customer offices also pretty much the same, he says.

Many customers have shut down their jobsite offices/trailers and limited the ability of our sales teams and engineers to have access to sites, says Ron Chilton, president of National Trench Safety. This has caused us to do more video meetings, phone calls and provide lots of data via email. With that said, for larger or more complex jobs, we are seeing some creative work arounds by the customers to allow them to get the input and advice that we deliver.

High Reachs Renzulli adds that most all meetings, whether at the office or jobsite visits are scheduled in advance, no more cold calls or popping in on jobsites.

In general, zoom meetings and other electronic forms of communication have become standard practice.

While these obstacles can be challenging, some say the shared understanding of the risks can bring them closer to their customers who are going through similar issues and challenges and have, for the most part, instituted similar safety protocols as the rental companies have.

In some ways it has brought us closer, says BigRentzs Cannon.COVID has been tough on everyone and there are so many people struggling personally it has resulted in relationships mattering even more.

We have had to be more flexible in how we delivered projects and find creative ways to overcome logistical challenges like closed airports and even borders, says Dan Ibbetson, managing director, global products and technology, Aggreko.

Some opportunities still knock

While the pandemic has caused many projects to cancel and has slowed overall business, especially in non-residential construction, rental companies have, as they always do, kept their eyes open for opportunities that might not have been there before, and found some silver linings.

The opportunities we see are around helping customers be safer and more productive with products and services that will add value even beyond the pandemic, says Dale Asplund, executive vice president and chief operating officer, United Rentals. As our whole industry has evolved, weve seen more acceptance of digital tools to both engage and manage fleet.Whether that is managing the rental process through the United Rentals mobile app or taking blended learning courses through United Academy,we believe this greater acceptance of digital tools will only continue to accelerate.

The pandemic has afforded many opportunities to support our customers in new ways, says Guy Manuel of Stephensons Rental Services, Toronto. This crisis has motivated some homeowners to complete projects they might have been putting off and it has changed some of the demands from our larger customers. We have been involved in new requirements to meet safety protocols through increased hand-washing stations and increased scaffolding and stair towers to accommodate social distancing. We have also supported the build of temporary structures for hospitals COVID response units and our team members have pulled together with community organizations on more local initiatives.

We are proud to have helped our customers do some amazing things during this pandemic. One of our branches in the Greater Toronto Area worked with a local health center to set up a two-day outdoor Flu Shot Clinic. In addition, Stephensons has been called on for temporary lighting, power and heat for multiple pandemic response initiatives. One of our customers shifted their wine production lines to hand sanitizer lines supplying a local hospital with the donated product. We were happy to provide the trucking that delivered the hand sanitizer in wine bottles to Michael Garron Hospital in Toronto. We have been amazed by our customer ingenuity and proud to support their efforts with our time and equipment.

Shipping contractor supplies and consumables to customers across Canada through an eCommerce platform, we have also had new customers reach us online. In addition to our branches having the longest open hours in the industry, our customers can order supplies from us online 24/7. We have had new customers come our way to secure additional PPE and supplies to keep their operations running. We are shipping PPE and consumables across Canada from Newfoundland and Labrador to British Columbia and as far North as the North West Territories. Our customers keep surprising us with how they reach us and their unique requests that allow us to be flexible and innovate on new offerings, including supporting a customer who needed specialized bits for an ice bridge build in the North West Territories.

One of the biggest opportunities we are seeing is a better understanding of the value of technology and having efficient systems and processes in place, says Michael Frey, rental operations manager, Finning Canada. E-signing for example, isnt new but its becoming commonplace. Necessity drives innovation and so technology like remote monitoring is also becoming more widespread.

As our equipment works across various applications, we do see the demand for rental equipment shift from time to time and during the pandemic we have definitely seen an increase in rentals for landscaping and home improvement projects.

The one area of increase in our business relating to COVID has been the rental of some additional traffic control equipment in some states to support the various COVID-19 testing stations, says NTS Chilton. We have been surprised at how quickly so many temporary testing stations were set up in the summer. Most were winding down when the new wave of cases started to hit the country in late September. Many of the testing sites that were scheduled to be closed have now been kept open, so this small new business segment has been a nice, but small positive.

Single family housing has gotten the biggest boost as people flee their little condos in the city for bigger houses in the suburbs with enough space for virtual learning and work from home without driving each other crazy, says Leppo. Next are home improvements like pools, patios and remodeling as people save money from their staycations.

Maxims Bardonaro adds that some opportunities were opened that would not have been available if not for the pandemic. We had several markets that were in our long-term strategic growth plan that were able to move up on the schedule due to greater availability of people and equipment in the market,he says. While we obviously want to see things get back to good health, both physically and economically, it has allowed Maxim to expand into St. Louis, San Antonio, Kansas City and Denver during the past six months."

Expectations Cautious, Uncertain, Maybe Upbeat?

As the unexpectedly traumatic 2020 ends, its natural to be looking forward to 2021. The winter always is challenging in the rental business because of colder, wetter weather and in terms of the pandemic, cases have been surging for a couple of months, a trend that was widely anticipated. There is hope that a vaccine will be a widespread reality in the foreseeable future. Still the timetable is uncertain.

Ohios Leppo expects the homeowner business, small contractors, and single-family construction to remain strong in the first half of 2021 with travel restrictions still likely and low interest rates still favoring growth, although, he notes, those may flatten as people are free to move around. I think there will be a gradual increase in non-residential private construction as business owners grow more comfortable, he says. Public building construction will suffer unless there are specific stimulus efforts since so many state and local governments are struggling.

Leppo even sees hope for a slow crawl out of the hole for oil and gas markets. Inventories are high, demand will slowly return as people become more mobile, he expects.

The non-residential, petrochemical, oil and gas, power gen and highway markets are all still active, but have seen regional pullback due to the various states having different shutdown protocols, says Chilton. Overall, most of our served markets are remaining steady except for the oil & gas segment. The crash of oil prices this year has been a huge negative influence on this industry. We suspect we will probably not see a rebound until the price of oil gets back above the $60 per barrel range and stays there for a couple of months.

We have seen a spike in homeowner renovation activity as people make the time to take on more home projects for which they need the right equipment, says Stephensons Manuel. Our branch-based sales associates have been busy educating customers on how to complete new home projects on their own, when they previously would have paid someone else to do them. Our largest customers who are building housing communities, high rise condos, hospitals and roads were and are our busiest segments. Unfortunately, we have small- and medium-sized customers who were more heavily impacted by the Commercial construction closures and have been slower to recover. Our overall business was affected from these delays and closures however, we are optimistic with returning activity levels that 2021 will see more segments regaining pre-pandemic momentum.

The cost effectiveness, flexibility and outsourcing benefits of renting large and small equipment always makes sense especially when there is uncertainty in our markets. We believe rental penetration will continue to rise, and we are seeing record levels of new project starts and permits in our markets, so we remain very optimistic about 2021 and beyond.

While the improvement for many in home construction and remodeling has been good for many, especially smaller and mid-size rentals, a slower stretch in larger, non-residential construction has had an impact.

A significant amount of Birchs customers in commercial construction, manufacturing, infrastructure and industrial were stopped or stalled for three months and many are still not operating at their full anticipated volume of 2020, says Sarah Rothenbuhler, CEO, Birch Equipment. A bright light has been the boom in the residential construction and home improvement sectors, but it takes a tremendous amount of compact excavator, nail gun and single boom and forklift rentals to make up for the delayed demand in Birchs large material handling, aerial fleet packages, 80,000-pound excavator and super boom rentals.

Most rental people dont expect the economy to really get rolling until the back half of 2021 if not into 2022. But another bright spot has been the increase in adoption of technology.

We expect telematics like remote monitoring will experience broader adoption as we move into 2021. This technology allows us to gain useful data and insights, to better serve our customers and to arrive more prepared when we need to visit a site, says Finnings Frey. One of the biggest opportunities we are seeing is a better understanding of the value of technology and having efficient systems and processes in place.

And another may be a long-term strengthening of a preference for rental over buying equipment on the part of the customer.

Customers may be more likely to rent during challenging economic situations, as it means they can still do business without a large capital investment, notes Frey. Rental helps minimize the risk. They dont need to worry about the machine sitting unused on a site, maintenance, or the hassle of selling it. Rental can also help customers balance the flow of work - scaling up or down when needed. This is particularly relevant to our customers right now with the level of uncertainty about the pandemic and how it will affect upcoming work and investment in industry sectors.

BANGKOK Thailands 68-year-old king and his loyal prime minister survived a dangerous 2020, relentlessly exposed to youth-led street protests demanding democracy and limits to the monarchs wealth and power.

Maha or Great King Vajiralongkorn and Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha now face a harsh January, with a Covid-19 resurgence and promised new rounds of street protests, but are nonetheless expected to emerge secure.

Prayut does not seem to be in danger. The royal-military alliance seems to be unassailable, said Michael Nelson of the Asian Governance Foundation, which focuses on law, academia and other sectors.

The protesters, though big on Facebook, also have little backing in the population. And now, the government is getting tough with them, Nelson said in an interview.

Prime Minister Prayut seized power in a bloodless 2014 coup when he was a general and army commander-in-chief and was elected to the head of a coalition government in 2019 in polls critics claim were rigged in his favor.

Today, Prayut is dependent on royalists, industrialists, the military and an urban-based upper and middle class.

The king and prime minister, however, are challenged by tens of thousands of protesters who swarmed Bangkoks streets during the past six months.

Their three demands remain: topple Prayuts government, replace Thailands 20th constitution with a new charter, and reform the monarchy, the latter a hitherto unheard of rally cry.

Prayuts administration was widely hailed for quickly containing Covid-19s first outbreak in the kingdom, though at a severe economic price.

The death toll was limited to 60 people in this Southeast Asian nation of 70 million, but has climbed in recent weeks to at least 67 dead amid the worst outbreak yet in the country.

The Thai economy reportedly contracted 7.7% in 2020. Its devastated massive tourism industry, representing around 20% of gross domestic product (GDP), is not expected to revive any time soon.

Some expect anger to swell against Prayut in 2021 as Thais suffer from a second round of containment measures in an already ravaged economy.

Another way to say it is the students may not have won much, but the government continues its string of losses, David Streckfuss, author of Truth on Trial in Thailand, said in an interview.

Thailand is in a legitimacy crisis, an identity crisis, of unprecedented proportions and faces a new generation that is smart, flexible and quick, and that proposes a very new, modern view of Thai society that celebrates difference, whether in political thought, gender diversity, ethnicity, etcetera, Streckfuss said.

Most of the demonstrations, led by university students and schoolchildren, have been festive with live music, speeches, political souvenirs and curbside food carts churning out cheap food.

But at some confrontations, security forces blasted them with truck-mounted, chemically-irritating water. Protesters occasionally smashed police barricades. A handful were shot in unclear circumstances at one chaotic protest.

The latest boisterous street confrontations included flamboyant, fleshy, fashion-disaster students prancing in public, mimicking the expensive clothing and snobby entitlement of royalists and other elites.

Dozens of protesters now face up to 15 years in jail for their camp gestures, costumes, and especially their often caustic accusations which royalists perceived as insults against the monarchy.

The Criminal Codes Article 112 lese majeste law severely punishes anyone who defames, insults or threatens the king, queen, heir-apparent or regent.

The constitution also states: The King shall be enthroned in a position of revered worship and shall not be violated. No person shall expose the King to any sort of accusation or action.

Arrests, charges and threats of imprisonment may have dampened some dissent, but may also galvanize others to rebel.

But their rebellious movement is suffering from internal splits. A previously hailed Youth Forum group recently signaled its support of communism, and published a logo similar to a hammer and sickle sparking complaints by other protesters.

Protesters volunteer guards, meanwhile, began fighting among themselves in the streets and aggressively grappled with police and their barricades defying demonstrators claims to be peaceful.

King Maha Vajiralongkorn, one of the worlds wealthiest monarchs, is expected to maintain his position of strength during 2021 while trying to adapt to an increasingly international and in spots glaring public spotlight.

Protesters want to unlink the palaces recent control over two army infantry regiments, and stop paying taxes which protesters have carped are used to pay for some of the monarchys ceremonies and activities.

They want the constitutional monarchy to revert to a more limited structure and role similar to the earliest years under Great King Vajiralongkorns late father, the widely revered King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who died in 2016.

They also want to delete the constitutions amended Crown Property Act of 2017, which gave the king direct control of royal assets worth billions of dollars. Royalists say many of those assets originally belonged to Thailands earlier kings and were subsequently inherited.

Bangkoks fast-moving and treacherous politics have hit the American Embassy and US Congress.

The embassy strenuously rejected royalists recent claims that current and recent American ambassadors secretly manipulated Thai dissidents, stoked pro-democracy protests, and supported subversive online campaigns.

US Senator Tammy Duckworth [D-Illinois] and eight other Democratic party senators said in a joint resolution on December 3, violence and repression by the countrys monarchy and government, were used against protesters.

Thai officials have sharply countered that assessment. Some [US] senators received inaccurate information about the protests, said Thailands government spokesman Anucha Burapachaisri.

Their concerns are not shared by the rest of the US Congress. The protesters have also been breaking the law with the intention to abolish the royal institution, Anucha said.

The US has supported Thailands dictators, elected prime ministers, and monarchy ever since World War II, a period that saw 13 military coups. During 2020, relations deepened under President Trump, who embraced Prayut in the Oval Office in 2017.

If President-elect Bidens administration emphasizes Thailands lack of human rights, Bangkoks ruling politicians might squirm while street protesters rejoice.

Thailands army, navy and air force however expect US weapons sales, training, and public statements boosting the Thai military will continue under Biden.

Much of Washingtons focus on Bangkok concerns a perceived rivalry between the US and China for Thai influence. Street protesters and even opposition politicians have taken recently taken critical aim at Chinas authoritarian ways and means.

Plague and protest put Thailand on edge of panic - Asia Times

Despite a lot of talk about next-generation vehicles (NxGV), Automated and Autonomous Connected Vehicle (AACV), Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV), and many more alphabet soup of acronyms in WapCar's 2020 National Automotive Policy, many manufacturers have stopped pouring more money into Malaysia, and Indonesia is the country that every manufacturer wants to date now, because of President Jokowi's commitment to promote electric vehicles, something which every car manufacturer is trying to catch up on.

Hyundai has confirmed that it will be investing RM4.02 billion (USD1.55 billion) in Indonesia until 2030. The investment includes a 150,000 cars per year plant (can be scaled up to 250,000 cars) in Bekasi, east of Jakarta. Production will begin later this year.

With Indonesia now becoming Hyundai's production hub for Southeast Asia, it only makes sense for Hyundai to move its regional office and training centre to Jakarta.

Apart from Hyundai, Toyota too will be investing RM8.04 billion (USD2 billion) in Indonesia between now until 2023 to build hybrid and electric vehicles there.

"Because the Indonesian government already has an electric vehicle development map, Toyota considers Indonesia as a prime EV investment destination," said Toyota president Akio Toyoda in June 2019 in a joint-announcement with the Indonesian government.

The full name of The Birth of Tragedy is The Birth of Tragedy from the Spirit of Music (German: Die Geburt der Tragdie aus dem Geiste der Musik). It was reissued in 1886 as The Birth of Tragedy, Or: Hellenism and Pessimism (German: Die Geburt der Tragdie, Oder: Griechentum und Pessimismus).

The full text can be found here

Note the music mention in the title. I will be discussing on the music later. After all, Hypergryph also uses music heavily in their story telling.

The Birth of Tragedy examines the origins and development of poetry, specifically Greek tragedy. Nietzsche argues that Greek tragedy arose out of the fusion of what he termed Apollonian and Dionysian elementsthe former representing measure, restraint, and harmony and the latter unbridled passionand that Socratic rationalism and optimism spelled the death of Greek tragedy. The final part of the book is a rhapsody on the rebirth of tragedy from the spirit of Richard Wagners music.

Despite the clash of the Apollonian and Dionysian, neither side ever prevails due to each containing the other in an eternal, natural check or balance. Nietzsche argues that the tragedy of Ancient Greece was the highest form of art due to its mixture of both Apollonian and Dionysian elements into one seamless whole, allowing the spectator to experience the full spectrum of the human condition. The Dionysian element was to be found in the music of the chorus, while the Apollonian element was found in the dialogue which gave a concrete symbolism that balanced the Dionysian revelry. Basically, the Apollonian spirit was able to give form to the abstract Dionysian.

Nietzsche emphasizes that in real tragic art, the elements of Dionysus and Apollo were inextricably entwined. As words could never hope to delve into the depths of the Dionysian essence, music was the life of the tragic art form. Music exists in the realm beyond language, and so allows us to rise beyond consciousness and experience our connection to the Primordial Unity. Music is superior to all other arts in that it does not represent a phenomenon, but rather the "world will" itself.

In contrast to the typical Enlightenment view of ancient Greek culture as noble, simple, elegant and grandiose, Nietzsche believed the Greeks were grappling with pessimism. The universe in which we live is the product of great interacting forces; but we neither observe nor know these as such. What we put together as our conceptions of the world, Nietzsche thought, never actually addresses the underlying realities.

He argues that we are still living in the Alexandrian age of culture, which is now on its last legs. Science cannot explain the mysteries of the universe, he writes, and thanks to the work of Kant and Schopenhauer, we must now recognize this fact. The time is ripe for a rebirth of tragedy that will sweep away the dusty remains of Socratic culture. Nietzsche sees German music, Wagner in particular, as the beginning of this transformation. While German culture is decrepit, the German character is going strong, for it has an inkling of the primordial vitality flowing in its veins. Nietzsche has great hope for the coming age and has written this book to prepare us for it.
