The cloud base seems to have got a little higher maybe, but is now almost solid, with just one or two little patches of sunlight on the ridge opposite. One suspects that rain is imminent, one does. That arm of Loch Quoich has now been left some way behind in the distance. Loch Quoich is dammed as well (as opposed to damned) and I suspect that the aforementioned arm only exists because of the damming.

Video of adventure
It was the week before Christmas and I had to use up my remaining holiday entitlement before the end of the year. With the kids at school and my better half working, I had a week to play
Monday had seen me head for a day trip to Ardgour and Tuesday was an indoor day as a large Atlantic weather system swept over Scotland. The forecast for the rest of the week was changeable across Scotland – apart from the far north! So decision made – I was headed for Sutherland! Leaving the house at 6am, I arrived on the shoes of Loch Merkland four hours later at 10am. At this time of the year the days re short (an even shorter the further north you go) so I was aware I needed to get cracking and I had decided on Ben Hee as it would fit in with me getting back before dark. The plan there after was to enjoy some carlife (;)) and spend the next three days in this area.
The forecast was looking good and I set off in glorious sunshine with little wind. Numerous herds of deer greeted me as I headed up the track and towards the Allt Coire a’ Chruiteir burn. The skies were still blue but as the summit of Ben Hee came into view I noticed it was capped in cloud, which was skudding over the summit . The path was ok, but had been eroded away by the burn in places, but I wasn’t complaining as it was dry and nicer than the rest of Scotland. Once out of the wee glen the winds picked up and it was cold!! The pull into the cloud and towards the summit was also the freezing level and a white rim coated the rocks as I approached the cloud capped summit of Ben Hee.
As opposed to coming back down the same way, I decided to drop down over Sail Gharb and hoped to snap a photo of Loch an t-Seilg. I wasn’t sure whether the cloud base would enable this , however the views soon opened out and the views over to Ben Hope and Ben Loyal were fabulous. I was a bit jealous as these near bye peaks were cloud free. A few more snaps and I was soon chasing the unset down the hill to get back to the car before nightfall.
Back at the car and I found a larger parking area to spend a cold night in the car before another adventure on the Thursday

A bunch of images for the mountain lovers and hillwalkers out there. None are particularly good and the conditions were such that my Large Format gear would have been best used as a kite rather than a camera. But those of you who roam the hills in Britain will have experienced these conditions at some point and relish the
prospect of their next visit to the hills.

When it comes to today's businesses, adopting new technology is essential, yet many senior executives are hesitant to begin on the road of digital transformation.
Some business executives are afraid to fully embrace digital initiatives because they are concerned about the effect on the budget, deterring staff and consumers or because they don't feel secure enough in their digital knowledge to make the transition. These impediments are simply fallacies, and the digital transformation of a corporation provides several advantages.
These myths regarding digital transformation have been dispelled to help you make a better-informed choice about what's best for your company:
●Small businesses can't benefit from digital transformation.
The advantages of incorporating digital technology into small firms are often unclear. A startup company might benefit from digital transformation by working hard to make itself more discoverable. According to our Innovation Survey, 13 per cent of participating organisations said that digital technology's most significant advantage was helping them grow and retain customers.
In addition, as flexible working becomes more common, cloud-based solutions make it possible for smaller organisations to accommodate workers who may opt to clock in remotely or work outside of usual business hours.
●For IT and IT organisations, digital transformation is only relevant.
In many cases, senior managers who don't understand the potential of digital technology are oblivious of the benefits it can bring to their business—some with a view that it only pertains to the technology and IT sectors. Still, it's helpful in the overwhelming bulk of industries and will impact them all in time.
Consider the bands used for radiofrequency identification (RFID). There is a strong chance you haven't heard of this technology. However, it can be utilised in hotel room keys and transportation tickets and many payment methods.
●An organisation's digital transformation may be completed in a single step.
A worldwide lockdown had a rippling effect on business and the primary way it offered goods and services, but most firms found a way to get back on their feet. These experiences led to a dawning realisation: An effective data transformation process is more than simply converting a manual to an automated workflow. It involves continuous, ongoing efforts, backed by training, and in sync with the constantly changing expectations of workers.
As a result of this awareness, businesses' recruiting and planning processes have undergone significant modifications. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment opportunities for software developers and engineers will increase by 22 per cent by 2029, a rate much higher than the overall career growth rate of 4 per cent. Digital transformation efforts are far from complete, as shown by the fact that many firms are actively seeking to expand their workforces in anticipation of new technologies.
DevOps processes, including version control, continuous integration, automated testing, and open source technologies, will be a critical component of future innovations and job growth.
●In the end, digital transformation and digitisation are the same things.
As a non-technical person, it's easy to confuse terms like "digital transformation" with "digitisation", for example. Taking a process and making it simpler, quicker, or cheaper is the goal of digitisation. It is re-creating the same process in a new way. Aside from new technology being implemented that may improve current assets, digital transformation creates new value for consumers.
Even if digitisation may make things easier inside a corporation, digital transformation may open up new markets and produce goods that appeal to new clients.
●It's all IT's fault; no one else has to be concerned.
It's a prevalent misconception that the IT department is solely responsible for the whole digital transformation process. Our Innovation Survey found that a lack of support from top management was the most significant impediment to digital transformation.
Having a board member on the team for digital transformation is an excellent approach, as is recruiting a dedicated team for this purpose.
●As a result of digital transformation, business metrics are not relevant.
In the past, firms rushed to develop their dotcoms since it was considered trendy. Until one day, it wasn't there anymore. Because everyone else is doing it, or because it's good PR, or because their kids, or the analysts, want them to, a startling number of CEOs want to go digital.
These are all the wrong reasons to switch to a digital platform. The digital transformation process must positively influence sales, profit, cost, customer engagement, retention, or repeat purchasing. Because without knowing what metrics are being changed and how much, the entire procedure is a waste of time.
●When embarking on a digital transformation journey, it is possible to go too fast.
As a result of this, there is a widespread belief that digital transformation is too hazardous. To avoid upsetting the apple cart or rushing into the fray, many firms chose a systematic approach to digital transformation. Cutting-edge firms like Netflix and Tesla then developed, proving to many corporations the need of embracing digital trends and methods.
With the pandemic outbreak, the cautious approach to data transformation services was shown to no longer be sufficient.
The benefit of time is not accessible in marketplaces where rivals are constantly striving to match (or better yet, predict) the next invention. For example, in the automobile business, some major corporations are currently fighting against tenacious startups like Rivian. Even though its trucks haven't even hit the road yet, the electric vehicle and automotive technology startup just filed for an IPO and is seeking a price of up to $80 billion. Because it spotted a gap in the market and took risks to fill and disrupt it, the firm may eventually compete with Tesla.
No firm can afford to disregard the influence of new technologies on its operations anymore; no advantage can be considered secure for the foreseeable future. It's no longer enough for businesses to accept new technology carefully or wait to see how they affect others. They must embrace change and move quickly to stay competitive.
Robots and algorithms might indeed lead to the abolition of certain occupations. A more productive approach is to look at AI and other sophisticated technology as tools that can be used with human labour instead of seeing them as direct competitors.
Humans' inherent capacity for solving large, complicated issues may be enhanced by digital technology, which can generate new career categories. Re-engineering positions in a business, developing re-training programs and upskilling and re-energizing the current workforce are likely necessary for leaders.
To put it simply,
You're already a part of the digital revolution. Start preparing your company using data transformation tools if you haven't done so already since the future will be pretty different from what you've been used to. Be able to tell reality from fiction before jumping on the digital transformation bandwagon so you can make informed decisions. Getting rid of these five misconceptions would be beneficial.

Sanitation Project encourages Rotarians to Loop the Loop ...
5pm on Friday afternoon and as I drove toward the airfield the rain is just sheeting down. We are 1 hour away from launching 14 volunteers into the air in a glider. It seemed as though the chances of getting anyone in the air to be incredibly remote. Heavy rain, high winds and low cloud base. It could hardly be worse conditions for flying.
An hour later, trusting in the weather forecast to be suitable weather for flying, all 14 supporters arrived at the London Gliding Club at Dunstable Downs. The forecast had indicated that the awful weather would be much improved by 6pm and even sunny an hour later, so we were all gathered for the safety briefing becoming more confident of getting airborne by the minute.
By 6.15 the rain had stopped and the sky began to clear just as forecast. One by one 7 Rotarian volunteers and 7 members of the public were seated in the front seat of a two seated glider and were towed to 2000 feet before being cast adrift from the tow plane and were sent gliding freely through the air.
Once free, the glider pilot put the glider into a dive and went through a loop-the-loop. Often-another loop followed and another. As the evening progressed the last few flyers had the view of a beautiful sunset.
During the event there was a free barbecue for flyers and supporters alike. The crew and ground crew joined in for a burger and the Club bar was open for something to steady any nerves.
The evening was a great success with 14 very happy flyers having enjoyed something special, often expressed as a thrill of a lifetime. The youngest was just 15 and the oldest, well let’s just say he was in his 9th decade.
The volunteers had accepted the ‘Loop-the-Loop’ challenge to raise money through sponsorship towards a Global Grant project for a school sanitation project in South Africa.

During the event there was a free barbecue for flyers and supporters alike. The crew and ground crew joined in for a burger and the Club bar was open for something to steady any nerves.
The evening was a great success with 14 very happy flyers having enjoyed something special, often expressed as a thrill of a lifetime. The youngest was just 15 and the oldest, well let’s just say he was in his 9th decade.
The volunteers had accepted the ‘Loop-the-Loop’ challenge to raise money through sponsorship towards a Global Grant project for a school sanitation project in South Africa.
