Accelerating value innovation: Don't change people, let them change the company
Sep 15, 2016 • Features • Management • Jan Van Veen • management • Value innovation
Management Consultant and service management specialist Jan Van Veen looks at how you can drive sustainable success in your organisation by unlocking full and continuous value innovation power at your disposal...
As the world is changing at an increasing pace, companies need continuous value innovation at a higher pace on top of the current incremental improvements of their products, services and operations.
However, most companies struggle to innovate their business and fall behind (new) competitors who are successfully adopting change or even driving change in the industry.
Based on many consulting engagements and recent interviews (as part of my research) it appears that three key perspectives - on people's ability to drive change, managing performance and customer value - do make the difference for success.
A typical example
The following is a typical situation:
A leading manufacturer of heavy capital equipment is trying to grow its services business, as capital investments in their industry have dropped dramatically and are not expected to recover in the near future. The focus is to grow the business from advanced maintenance and operating services and other business solutions, which should become more significant, compared to basic maintenance, repair and spare part services.
Most companies struggle to innovate their business and fall behind (new) competitors who are successfully adopting change or even driving change in the industry.
The organisation has been restructured a few times in a row. People are being pushed to the limit to achieve new, stretched bottom-line targets. Different task forces and a programme management office has been established.
However, progress is limited and the business results are not really improving.
Entities are blaming each other for not delivering: market units are frustrated that the business units do not develop the right propositions; market units are being blamed for not selling the new service offerings. Too many people consider their own performance being fairly well, without showing any concern about the bigger picture of declining performance, which is falling behind the competition's performance.
There are many task-forces on various topics, most of which are not really addressing the real business challenge, but more focusing on improving traditional business as usual.
As a result, this company is being hit harder by the current downturn in their industry then its competitors. Shareholders' confidence in the new strategy and the leadership is deteriorating.
Now, wouldn't it be great if.... Instead of...
Wouldn't it be great if this company would have been able to fully utilise their ability to adapt to change and peoples eagerness to learn, improve and grow?
Just imagine how different the picture could have been:
Many people within the company are aware of early signs of developments in the industry and changing customer needs. They are the first to discuss these changes with their customers and develop new solutions, in close collaboration with their customers.
Set-backs are crucial learning points to adjust strategy and actions and to continue thriving for success.
For sure, they had some set-backs and they expect more to come - after all, things often go different than originally expected.
However, nobody considers these set-backs as failures and these are by no means a threat for careers. These set-backs are crucial learning points to adjust strategy and actions and to continue thriving for success. People and departments support each other in doing what is needed to get things done and keep momentum in the innovation.
How to make this happen?
There are three key perspectives, which seem to make the difference for sustainable success. These perspectives define how we manage our businesses and how we engage people to change without creating obstacles or resistance.
Sustainable and increasing success is achieved by continuously pursuing opportunities, adopting to changes, learning and building smarter capabilities for strong performance.
People are considered to be eager to grow, develop and drive change when they believe in the reasons for change and they are not pushed into a defensive fight-or-flight mode. These good reasons are based on a compelling purpose and vision, not on burning platforms, financial business cases or shareholder-value.
Customer Value:
Customer value goes beyond the availability of your great products and technology. There are so many more ways to be valuable and relevant to the success of customers and their value creation process. With this broader view, you will recognise more customer needs and challenges, transcending product requirements and related maintenance services.
Practical example of modern management practices
The following are a few examples of modern management practices - driving sustainable success by mobilising people and maintaining momentum - which are based on these new perspectives.
Customer value goes beyond the availability of your great products and technology. There are so many more ways to be valuable and relevant to the success of customers and their value creation process.
Live a shared and compelling purpose and vision - every day...
Keeping this picture alive will rally all people in an organisation.
They see and believe in the opportunities to do great things and grow as a company, as a team and as an individual. Everybody has a common picture of the direction in which the company has to develop. This picture is much more compelling than "double digit growth", "being customers' 1# choice" or "being industry leader".
Keep the voice of the customer alive - every day...
A living and up-to-date picture of customers' challenges, needs and expectations will drive the right decisions, actions, ideas and intrinsic motivation for innovation as well as daily operations.
Start every meeting with a customer story or insight.
Extend customer insights beyond your business as usual - without blinkers...
Without this insight it is hard to develop and increase your relevance and differentiation for customers and develop your business to outperform the industry now and in the future.
Too often, customer insights and feedback which do not directly impact current products, services, marketing and sales are neglected. Sticking to your "core-business" can be a risky attitude.
Respond to (potential) changes outside - again without blinkers...
Have everybody in the company continuously build awareness about what is changing in the outside world. What is (potentially) changing in technology, politics, regulations, demographics, customer needs, habits, competition, other industries, etcetera.
What impact could these changes have on your work and your business? Which opportunities could arise? Which competencies and capabilities would you need? Which signs could indicate that the change is really happening - now? What can be done now to be prepared to respond rapidly when needed and do this quicker than any other actor in the industry?
Manage high performance through a strategic dialogue - ongoing...
Outcome based, bottom line targets show the direction and priorities for managing and developing the business into a fit organisation with the required capabilities and business model to perform.
Targets are aligned with priorities and strategic objectives. Stretched targets explicitly assume change is required to meet them - so work smarter, not harder or faster.
These business review meetings are transparent and constructive discussions about the performance, root causes, alternatives, measures and priorities. Discuss and agree how other teams or entities can contribute to achieve the objectives.
Align expectations and targets of these teams with the (new) priorities of the business and the specific teams and entities to really enable them to help.

Although investigations are on-going into that fatal Andros plane crash, aviation minister, Dionisio D'Aguilar, had this to say about those in the sector who may be hacking. It seems to be a concerted effort by many pilots who want to be in the hacking business, to declare that they are only transporting passengers who are their friends or their family. But really, they are transporting people for pay and we have actively, I've charged The Bahamas Civil Aviation Authority, so let's change that dynamic, let's give the necessary entities, the teeth, and the power to prevent this problem from continuing.
Having acknowledged that the problem of hacking has been long-standing, Minister D'Aguilar says this problem must be rectified immediately. As Minister responsible, he says it's now a priority.
D'Aguilar went on to say, "Bahamian lives are at stake, we need to deal with this. We need to address this issue and I've charged the Director General of the Civil Aviation Authority, to come up with a plan, let's deal with this man, lives are being lost and that should not be tolerated. There should be a zero tolerance for the violation of rules and regulations as it relates to aviation. It's just unacceptable and I'm gonna do my endeavor best to try and clamp down on this whole hacking business. I don't know what's involved, I don't know the intricacies about it, but I'm definitely going to learn about it and for my technical staff in aviation that supports me, I've charged them to let's deal with this, let's change the regulations. The Aviation Minister, disclosed his immediate directives to effect change.
Let us empower the place from which they depart or the place from which they arrive too, with the power to inspect, to check and to verify, the documents, to ensure that the aircraft is airworthy and the pilot is indeed has a license to transport people for commercial purposes. This cannot continue. the Bahamian people expect their regulators to ensure that when they go to the airport that they get on that plane, we as the regulators have checked that plane and verified that that pilot is indeed in a position to transport people for pay.
Minister D'Aguilar, says lives were lost as a result of an unregulated system of checks and balances, and moving forward he will be that change agent.
"It's up to us to be able to look ourselves in the mirror and say you know what, we did the right thing and it certainly was not the result of something that we did not do and I'm not convinced that we're doing all that we can do and I intend to change that.

Donald Trump's likely pick for labor secretary is fast-food executive Andrew Puzder — who suggested that robots make better workers than human beings.
"They're always polite, they always upsell [steer customers to higher priced items], they never take a vacation, they never show up late, there's never a slip-and-fall, or an age-, sex- or race-discrimination case," he told Business Insider in March.
Puzder is the CEO of CKE restaurants, the parent company of the Carl's Jr. and Hardee's hamburger chains and the Tex-Mex chain Green Burrito.
Biz groups applauded the pick, saying Puzder, 66, understands the challenges of running a business.
Puzder opposes raising the federal minimum wage, which is currently $7.25, telling Business Insider that government mandates will only increase automation.
"With government driving up the cost of labor, it's driving down the number of jobs," he said. "You're going to see automation not just in airports and grocery stores but in restaurants."
Puzder has also slammed an Obama-administration proposal that would raise to $47,500 a year the threshold below which employers would be required to pay salaried workers time-and-a-half for hours worked above 40 a week.
A federal judge in November put the proposed regulation on hold.

One Pioneer
Pioneer's management believes that it must continually adapt in order to ensure the success of each of their customers. To that end, they are rethinking the support process. The One Pioneer initiative will break down walls between departments, facilitating faster ticket resolution. This new workflow process involves bringing in staff from outside the Help Desk, putting a pool of specialized information at the Support Team's beck and call. Positive changes to the customer experience are will come from One Pioneer's streamlining. Ticket responses will be faster than ever before. Integration and re-organization will lead to an effective doubling of their incident resolution capabilities. Further, this change is effective in Pioneer's entire product line – Benchmark, Landmark, Axia, Excise, YourDox, and Jurymark.
The process will start the same way it always has: with an incoming ticket triaged and entered into OnTime. Support managers will review every open incident as they usually do, but from here, everything changes. The Support Manager will assign tickets to team members they feel are best suited to address them. As of the old system, the entire Help Desk would be assigned a pool of high-priority tickets. Employees would choose tickets themselves on a first-come, first-served basis. While they have a good idea of which ones they are best suited to address, the new system will save them the time of going through the available tickets themselves. With each ticket assigned to a specific person best suited to solve it, the customer can expect a response that much faster. However, there is still the possibility that the answer will be too complex for the Support team to handle on its own – this is where the One Pioneer system takes over.
Open Incident - Workflow
Benefits of One Pioneer:
Every Pioneer is working together to provide exceptional service to you at all times
Incidents reviewed by product and customer with priority
Max ticket count enforced ensuring you never have too many tickets open at once
Dev Team made aware ahead of time of common code changes needed
Ticket backlogs are a thing of the past
One Pioneer weaves the specific expertise of separate departments with the knowledge of customer needs that only Support can bring to the table. One Pioneer doesn't just involve Development. Every department in Pioneer is involved – particularly Implementation, Forms & Reports, Programming / Development, and Support. Team Leaders meet regarding ticket resolution in a Weekly Management Review session to ensure customer satisfaction is achieved each and every day!
"Take care of the customer, and the customer will take care of you." Pioneer has been committed to these words since its inception. Periodically rethinking its approach to Support ensures that its Help Desk continues to adapt, and that customers will continue to receive quality assistance going forward. With a doubling of Support capabilities, One Pioneer represents the next evolution in the company's ability to address customer needs. Pioneer hopes that their positive relationships with clients will continue for decades to come.

Routing out a cavity on an archtop can be tricky business, simply because the surface to work on is not flat.

Vibrant pinks and vibrant love filled this timeless, classic, but oh so glamorous wedding day! Janet longed to style a wedding that was embracive of all things fall with pops of pink along the way, and I'd say she nailed it! It was such a joy (as it always is) to document Janet & James wedding day, and I am excited to share a few frames on the blog!
The First Protestant Church in New Braunfels was the perfect ceremony setting for this timeless couple, and The Grande at Milltown Historic District was such a fun reception location to top it all off! Traveling just a smidge outside of the DFW area is always a treat, but enough of my rambling - take a peek into this lovely wedding day!

You had no contradiction in what you said?
It's been for about over 5 years since I started blogging. In the first blog, I wrote my every little things in my life, such as impressions about movies I watched, original stories I made and so on. During the blog, I had noticed I had fun of discussions with other bloggers on some topics by exchanging each articles. Now that it's based on my policy of activities on blogging. That is "Bloggers should express their thoughts in their own articles rather than comments".
However, I sometimes face someone strange while exchanging each opinions. Although I put my idea up in my aricle, they feel they are insulted to themselves. It becomes too troublesome.
A few years ago, one famous blogger in Japan wrote about ijime in school. Ijime leterally means "tease", and it becomes serious problems in Japan. With progress of technologies, the style of ijime has been changing. Now that the young check ura-site(a sort of hidden bulletin board in order to write someone's insults) and sometimes write other's topic in order to set others up. They meet each other with smile on their face in a real life, though, they attack each other when they are into the bulltein board in a virtual life. Some people can't keep their mind and commit suicide.
The famous blogger tried to write about ijime because one confession in a letter was posted against one public institution at that time. He struggled to prevent someone bothered from suicide, so he wrote his own article.
It was not bad to wrote the article trying to stop someone's suicide, however, its way was definitely bad. He claimed that he wanted to spread his own article by reprinting, not trackback. In his blog service, there's one characteristic system called "reprinting". As long as you run the same blog service, you will be able to reprint other's article by pushing the button named "reprint". He claimed that everyone who had the same blog's service should reprint his article.
The button called "reprint" had many problems, we discussed them between bloggers at that time. The most important problem of it was the one on copyright. Moreover, once the article is reprinted, the original author can no longer stop spreading by reprinting. We (including me, ofcourse) claimed that spreading articles by reprinting was not good, even if those contents are ethically good. No one blamed him on his intentions against ijime, but unfortunately, he treated himself like he was insulted.
"Lives can't compare with anything." said He. We definitely didn't write about how important lives are. We just reffered to his approach.
"You just widen our focus on topics." said He. We just wrote "There are legally some problems on the reprinting system in the blog".
"You don't try to understand what I'm saying. You have no reading abilities." said He. We totally understood what he's saying, so I tried not to put the topic on ijime during discussions.
"There's legally no problem in my articles and approach. I read and checked the copyright Act. Maybe you all haven't understood what copyright is yet? You should read the copyright Act and improve your own reading abilities." said He. Oh, my god! If we had had no reading abilities at all, most of blog readers would have started blaming us. He was the only one who couldn't get any acceptance about his opinion on copyright from blog readers.
"You all are talk shit! That's enough!." said He. Wow, who is talk shit?
Because of exchanging articles on this matter, I had a chance to acquire knowlege on copyright, however, I was surprised with him. Some people sometimes treat merely exchanging each opinions as blame for themselves. He was totally like that.
Sadly, I recently faced such a situation again. It's definitely been a long age. "Your sentences are too comlicated." Oh…actually, I've been a sort of a writer on one technically professional categories for over ten years. If I wrote unreadable articles or documents, all clients and negotiating rivals would complain on it and I would not be able to run my business anymore. Who stepped down from conversations? I just put some ideas and answered some questions. Who threw fuckin' words to me by phone and in sentences? Who said "You won't hear other opinions." ignoring your own words.
It's perfectly ironic…we tried to find ways to polish our something up. I just suggested "it's important for us to focus on how we should improve.". That person suggested "it's important for us to focus on what we talk.". Talk can grow discussions and debate. Ironically, despite the fact that the person wanted to talk about something and we started exchanging our opinions about the way to do that, the person stepped down with his/her anger. Before the discussions itself on topics we're ready started, he/she refused to talk on how we did. It's perfectly…ironic.

The reason you can't edit the article is because of copyright. The system allow you to reprint because to give another blogger licensing rights (that's what they are called) is simple. Just say it on your post or in reference to your post and it is legally binding, allowing others to Reprint it. However, editing rights require a formal (usually signed) contract and is rarely given. Editing comments on your own blog is even, technically, a grey area. (You are allowed to delete them freely, but edit ONLY for decency and grammar purposes.) In other words, you may edit the word 'fuck' out and reword the sentence so that it makes sense or respell 'dgo' as 'dog', if that was the word intended, but you could not change 'I hate babes' to I beat children'. If you did, you could be sued for deformation of character, duress, and even fraud. Hence, you can only reprint because you most likely don't have a formal contract with the copyright holder, so it keeps you safe. And out of court.

This is the report of a trip that I made in the Hunza valley of the Karakoram in late summer 2008.
Reconnaissance Report 29 August - 10 September 2007
The town of Skardu in Northern Pakistan is the centre of Jagged Globe's operations in the Karakoram. On August 28th I waved goodbye to Mungo Ross and his team of 8 climbers as they departed the K2 hotel for Cathedral Peak. After the rush of preparing the supplies for this group I had most of the day free to check the equipment recently returned from the Muztag Ata expedition and the July and August K2 Base Camp Treks.
The following day I left for Hunza leading possibly the smallest Jagged Globe expedition of 2007. My partner Claire, myself, plus local guide Sharif and cook Ali easily fitted into a single Toyota Landcruiser with our luggage for the 10 hour drive to Hunza. We spent a pleasant evening in Karimabad, the historic capital of the Hunza Valley. This wonderfully situated town is the most popular tourist attraction in Northern Pakistan, yet remains virtually undiscovered compared to similar towns in neighbouring India and Nepal. The 600 year old Baltit Fort dominates the valley and is probably the most photographed building in the Karakoram. On the other side of the valley the snow covered peaks of Diran (7,266m) and Rakaposhi (7,788m) rise dramatically above the terraced fields.
Next morning we left Karimabad in the company of Manzoor, a local jeep driver I have known for 20 years since my first journey to the Karakoram. In those days his father ran one of the first simple tourist hotels in the area. There are now more than a dozen good quality hotels in Karimabad, but the post 9/11 downturn in tourism means that they are rarely more than half full and good rooms can be had for very reasonable prices. The drive to Hopar took only one and half hours in the open top jeep - and will take even less when the new road is completed. Along the way we saw farmers collecting in the late season crops, while on the rooftops flat round trays of apricots were drying in the sun.
There are two simple hotels in Hopar. Manzoor recommended the Hopar Hilton, which at under £5 per night has to be one of the least expensive Hilton Hotels in the world. Complex negotiations were needed to understand the complexities of the local porter system, but next morning 5 porters were ready to carry our loads - plus 2 more to carry the food for the porters for the next 10 days.
Rush Peak is becoming a popular 4-5 day trek. However the rapid ascent profile means that many people attempting it without prior acclimatisation struggle. The trek to the Base Camp at the foot of Spantik's Golden Pillar is rarely attempted and is a great 5 day trek in its own right. Our plan was to create a 10 day programme that started with a trek to Spantik BC and ended with an ascent of Rush Peak. In the process we would circumnavigate the Barpu Glacier, trekking outwards on the West bank and returning along the East bank.
One unique feature of the glaciers near Hopar village is that they reach down to very low altitudes in the valleys. The Barpu and Bualter glaciers descend as low as 2,600m making them possibly the lowest glaciers in the Himalayas. So it is possible to trek in a landscape dominated by these huge rivers of ice without reaching very high altitudes.
The trek started from Hopar (2,850m) and climbed down a steep track to the Bualter Glacier 200m lower. We crossed this in 30 minutes via a fairly straightforward path. Our plan envisaged 5 glacier crossings during the 10 day trek. In the end we did the 5 planned crossings plus 2 excursions onto the Upper Barpu Glacier on the way to Spantik BC. Most of the trek on day one followed a faint hillside path high above the Barpu Glacier on the way to a few small huts at Hamdar. Here we found clear running water, a grassy spot to pitch the tent on, several hundred sheep, and a lone shepherd making butter by hand in a traditional wooden churn. Typical for the terrain in this area the campsite perched on small path of level ground on a hillside overlooking a broad expanse of glacial ice several hundred meters bellow.
The next day we made an early start following the hillside above the glacier in a South East direction. Soon the hill became a steep cliff and the path changed into a narrow man made ledge. This had been carefully constructed from rocks supported by tree trunks driven into the cliff face ago by past generations to give access to grazing pastures close to the Miar Glacier. We dropped to the edge of this glacier and crossed the bare white ice to reach the forested ablation valley known locally as Sumayer Bar. This heavily wooded area continued for over 3km and we camped in a clearing next to some shepherds' huts about midway along. The following morning was again clear and there were great views of Spantik standing at the end of the valley. Reaching the end of the wooded area we struck out across the Upper Barpu glacier to reach its East bank. This crossing was trickier than the 2 previous, involving sections of loose stones as well as dirty black ice and took 90 minutes. Soon we were erecting out tents at another idyllic site overlooking peaks and glaciers known locally as Girgindil. We were now above the tree line and the vegetation consisted of dense bushes about 1m high that covered to hillsides surrounding camp. Autumn has well and truly arrived at this altitude and many of the bushes had turned golden shades of orange and yellow, looking particularly dramatic in the evening sunlight.
An unexpected diversion onto the glacier the next day added an extra twist to the trek and marked the start of an area unknown to most of our porters. Opinions on the length of the day, the availability of water and the location of our intended campsite varied. Eventually 4 hours of pleasant, and sometimes steep, trekking took us to Shuja Basa where the glacier from Spantik joined the main flow of the Barpu glacier originating in the icefields of Malubiting's North face. For 4 days we had trekked for 3-4 hours each morning reaching camp by lunchtime and leaving the afternoons free. On the fifth day we gave the porters a rest and for the first time did not move camp. Instead we climbed into a wide attractive 'hidden' valley and after 2 hours reached the 4,650m site of Spantik Base Camp.
Only a handful of expeditions have used this site since the British pair of Mick Fowler and Vic Saunders made their groundbreaking ascent of Spantik's Golden Pillar in 198x. Few trekkers venture this far up the Barpu Valley and the area was thankfully free of the rubbish that pollutes many of the more popular trekking areas in the Himalayas. Sadly there was quite a bit of low cloud obscuring the peaks above 6,000m and we were denied the close up view of Spantik that we had hoped for. There were fresh footprints of Ibex in the muddy streambed, but we scanned the hillsides vainly searching for a sighting of these elusive animals.
With the first part of the trek over it was time to turn northwards following the East bank of the Barpu glacier, dropping a lot of height on the way to our next campsite at Bericho Kor. This was the longest day of the trek and we covered three and a half 'porter stages' in 6 hours walking. First we retraced the route to Girgindil taking 2 hours to descend what had taken 4 hours to ascend. This despite time lost when our porters tried to bully a reluctant group of yaks to follow them down a precipitous cliff onto the glacier. A nice lunch spot was ignored at Chukutans where the porters spent quite a bit of time trying to commandeer two donkeys to carry their loads for the remainder of the day; one load stayed on, the other repeatedly fell off. From this point the path improved considerably and the terrain in the afternoon was much easier, although the temperatures became warmer as we dropped to lower altitudes and lost the cooling breeze from the glacier. At Bericho Kor the campsite was in a grove tall trees and we welcomed the shade they gave from the hot sun. The small stream was pleasantly warm and ideal for a much needed wash. We had brought sufficient food and fuel for the entire 10 day journey, but the porters had either brought insufficient supplies for themselves, or had been eating more than anticipated and now their supplies were running low. Two porters therefore made the round trip to Hopar in the middle of the night to fetch extra provisions.
The nature of the trek changed considerably the next day with an unrelenting 1100m climb up a steep and dusty path to Chindin Harai. This camp is situated on the broad ridge separating the Barpu valley from the Hispar valley to the north. In former times the lands atop this ridge were used for grazing. Abandoned shepherds' huts and water channels remain. In recent years changing rainfall patterns and easier forms of income in the valleys have led to these marginal lands being abandoned. The ridge provides a fantastic vantage point from which to view the surrounding high mountains. The ridge running from NW to SE contains a number of shallow depressions, rounded hilltops and sharp pinnacles. Chidin Harai at a height of 4,366m offers a sheltered camping spot with a year round water source. A little more than an hour above, at a height of 4,662m lie the clear blue waters of Rush Lake framed by a ring of snow covered peaks. There are few vantage points in the Karakoram reachable by straightforward hikes that afford such dramatic views of the surrounding peaks.
To the North lie the Hunza Peaks dominated by Ultar (7,388m). In the West Rakaposhi (7,788m) and Diran (7,266m) occupy the middle distance, while several seldom seen peaks of snow and ice fill the skyline to the Southwest: Miar (6,824m), Phuparash (6,574m), Malubiting (7,458), and Spantik (7,027m). The horizon to the East is filled with the chain of peaks separating the Hispar and Shimshal valleys including Lupgar Sar (7,200m), Momhil Sar (7,343m), Trivor (7,728m), Mulunguti Sar (7,025m), Distaghil Sar (7,885m) and Kunyang Chish (7,852m). Perhaps the best viewpoint in the locality is the rocky outcrop known as Rush Peak. This is about 2 hours above the waters of the lake. For one and half hours the trail crosses fairly gentle terrain made up of grassy tussocks and stones, before the final 30 minute climb over steep loose boulders. All the published maps give a summit height of 5,098m and I do not know how or when this was surveyed. My GPS gave a reading of 5,040m, so perhaps some further work is needed to determine the true height or perhaps the rock is so loose that 48m has fallen form the summit in recent years.
From the rocky summit there is a clear line of sight East to the 5151mHispar Pass at the junction of the Hispar and Biafo glaciers. On a clear day the peaks of Baintha Brakk / The Ogre (7,285m) and Latok (7145m) can be seen on the far side of the pass. It is said that K2 can be seen in the far distance, but this requires perfect weather conditions. Even with binoculars I could only vaguely identify the very hazy shape of a large triangle in the far distance and could not say for certain if it was K2.
We actually climbed to the summit of Rush Peak twice. On September 7th a thin layer of fresh snow lay on the ground. This was good for photographs but made the climb to the summit tricky. And when we got there low cloud obscured the more distant peaks. We returned the following day, leaving camp a little earlier, to beat the daily build up of clouds. All the new snow had vanished and the views were considerably better. This left us with a long descent, back to camp at Chidin Harai 680m below, and then on to Bericho Kor a further 1100m lower.
The drop in altitude resulted in a dramatic rise in temperature and we spent a pleasant afternoon relaxing in the shade of evergreen trees and washing in the small stream running through camp. The porters were now looking forward to the end of the trip and a return to their village. They spent hours washing their clothes and themselves and ended up looking much cleaner than us. The final day of the trek saw us cover the distance back to Hopar quickly. There was a good path down the wide ablation valley and flat areas of grass alternated with patches of trees and rocky sections. We passed several shepherds driving their flocks of sheep and goats back to the village before the onset of the cold weather marking the end of summer. The final two glacier crossings were easy and we crossed the Barpu and Bualter glaciers in 30 minutes each. It only remained to climb the steep slope of dried mud 200m from the glacier bed to the village. The first village at the top of the hill was the Hopar Hilton and we treated ourselves and the porters to a celebratory bottle of Pepsi (the strongest drink available). At least the bar bills were reasonable, and 11 bottles of Pepsi only set the budget back £2.50.
Although I have trekked and climbed in much of the Karakoram the Barpu glacier was new to me. The experience on this trek confirmed my belief that this is the best place in the Karakoram for a 'short trek'. Access is relatively quick and easy, the scenery spectacular, and the trekking varied and interesting. The reconnaissance trip was a very enjoyable end to my 2007 Karakoram season. I learnt a lot of helpful details that will be fed into planning the 2008 Jagged Globe trip to this area, and Sharif, who will be working with the trip next year made several good local contacts.

I actually really like Chrissy Tiegen, which I never thought I'd say about a model. But she's smart and funny and a caring and devoted mom, all of which are traits I value. Still, she seemed the best candidate for this particular installment of stuff I said adjacent to faces of people better looking than I am. I'm really tired of the shaming accusations that get tossed around.
Not all criticism is shaming, and much of it is legitimate. There's really a pretty wide chasm between claiming that obesity is a major health concern that needs to be addressed and responding to a sophomore girl's selfie with "fatass." We ought to be able to navigate it a lot better than we have.

For some reason, the teacher has a predilection for killing children and the school knows this. Instead of protecting the kids, janitors simply clean up the messes. You'll need to participate in mundane tasks such as show and tell while also forging alliances, solving a mystery and also not dying.
Kindergarten comes across as a puzzle adventure game. Making the right choices will get you out of school alive. Right now you can pick up Kindergarten on Steam Early Access for $4.99.

The Beauceron is a higher energy breed of dog and will require a decent amount of exercise. Typically around an hour or so a day. Keep in mind that puppies and adult dogs might have different exercise requirements. Like most breeds, they were bred to hunt and work so lazing around all day doesn't appeal to them or most dogs. In their particular case they were bred to herd all day. They will not be content just laying around the house. Of course, you can always modify their exercise and give them a good brisk walk on the treadmill.

Marina Bay personified the glamorous, luxurious South Florida lifestyle. In addition to being a favorite haunt of celebrities, Marina Bay was home to the Surfside 6 floating houseboats that were seen on the TV series Flipper. Houseboats that were built on the Marina Bay site and looked out over the hour-long wait at the restaurant, a wait that occurred every night of the week.
In addition to the New River Storehouse restaurant and floating hotel rooms, the club had a beautiful pool and deck, patio bars and a nightclub.
Today, the Marina at Marina Bay is still regarded as one of the finest marina's in Fort Lauderdale.

TV Execs Begin Breaking Barriers
in the Digital Age
As viewers use more online tools to navigate through their daily entertainment, TV studios need to seize the opportunity by using the Internet as a tracking system to monitor consumption. By linking television programs to viewers to client partners, barriers must be broken in order for networks and studios to share useful data for the better of the company. In the past, the industry has been very independent, however, now they are beginning to leverage internal data, point of sale data, digital data and working with home entertainment colleagues to forge a partnership and share data sets across the industry. This allows for building models and correlations between activities and behaviors.
Networks Calculating Next Moves With Multiplatform TV
When it comes to navigating the television industry's transition into a multimedia sphere, TV execs are rewriting the rules for their networks. The term "three-dimensional" chess describes the new calculations networks are using to optimize viewership in the multiplatform television industry. There is simply a competition for human eyes in this new era, where present-day networks are up against every show that has ever aired. There are no ground rules with the new digital window open as far as marketing strategies are concerned. In this multiplatform world, networks have to embrace it, be innovative, and take risks. Competing against countless competitors and a share of mind for that audience, networks have to go out and find that audience now. You can't wait for them to come to you.

In todays environment quality and safety in agribusiness requires real time monitoring services to control products from farm to fork. Until today monitoring meant very few sensors logging data at discrete intervals; this is not good enough anymore. To pro-actively prevent and manage logistics risks SYB provides real-time monitoring services delivered without the deployment of any infrastructure. Industrial Internet of Things (IIioT) technology can generate an added value to logistics, especially in agribusiness, where waste, cold chain interruption and food contamination represent everyday hazards for consumers' health and business continuity.

The customer is a global market leader in the sugar beet seeds industry. Each year it processes and sells one and a half million units each of them containing one hundred thousand seeds. These seeds are sold and sown in over fifty countries. The average R&D process lasts 7 years and will select a handful of new samples, if something goes wrong at year 2, a deadly failure might happen at year 4. Consequently real time monitoring represents a small price to pay to avoid such a huge financial distress. The customer needs to monitor all stages of seeds production. 24/7 Data collection from cold rooms, greenhouses and fields is critical to prevent that values such as temperature, humidity and light intensity exceed a precise range.

DIY:: {Aztec/Geometric} Tunic
Ok, you guys are going to
at how easy this tutorial is!
Aztec and other geometric prints on clothing are EVERYWHERE these days! I decided it was time to add this fun trend to my closet!!
So the other day
was having an amazing sale and coupons galore! I decided to stop in and see if I could find anything great. Well I found this geometric/Aztec printed knit. It wasn't on sale, but I had a 60% off coupon! SCORE!I got 2 yards of it because I loved it so much and to make sure I had enough fabric for my project.
Pattern inspiration:
I decided to go for a high-low tunic. Something comfy but cute that I could dress up or down. And this knit is perfect because it is actually really warm, yet breathable!
Style inspiration:
Materials Needed:
*Fabric {I got 2 yards just to be safe.}
*Sewing machine/ matching thread
*Buttons/ zipper {optional}
*Marking chalk/ marker
*1-2 hours depending on your skill level
Step 1:
Lay your fabric flat, right sides facing in, draw your pattern out or use a sweater/ shirt you like and trace. make sure to leave 1/2 inch for seam allowance.
Step 2:
Cut out pattern. Also cut out 2 sleeves {make sure you cut it out on the fold}
When cutting out your sleeves, make sure you cut it on the fold, also make sure your print will go the same way as the body of your fabric- this is a huge step when cutting and using any kind of design.
Step 3:
Sew right sides together, pin and sew the shoulder and sides of the shirt. Also sew sleeves.
Step 4:
Turn sleeve right side out. Insert it into the arm hole, pin and sew. Do this to each arm.
Step 5:
If you want a cardigan, cut a straight line right down the center of the front section of the fabric.}
Step 6:
For a "high-low" affect cut an arch out on the front panel of fabric.
Step 7:
Hem neck, sleeves, and bottom of shirt.
{if you are making an open cardigan make sure to hem the opening sides as well. If you want you can add a zipper or button holes if you want the option of it closing. This is the step to do that, then hem.}
Step 8:
ENJOY!! Pair it with some leggings and your favorite boots, maybe even a hat!
I'd love to see what you made!
pictures and get featured on the blog!
Want one made??
and I'd be happy to make one for you!

What I don't get is the "Unsuited to Age Group" reason for removal. What age group would that be? People who think that all comic books and graphic novels are targeted toward children are seriously kidding themselves. I haven't personally read any of those in this list (yet), but I have at least seen the movie version of Watchmen (which is reportedly quite faithful to the novel), and that is no kid's movie. Once that's understood, most (if not all) of the other objections in this list become irrelevant.
In any case, I wholeheartedly agree with the quote in the article.

Home | Schipperke History
Schipperke History: The Schipperke may fitly be described as the Paul Pry of canine society. His insatiate inquisitiveness induces him to poke his nose into everything; every strange object excites his curiosity, and he will, if possible, look behind it; the slightest noise arouses his attention, and he wants to investigate its cause.
There is no end to his liveliness, but he moves about with almost catlike agility without upsetting any objects in a room, and when he hops he has a curious way of catching up his hind legs. The Schipperke's disposition is most affectionate, tinged with a good deal of jealousy, and even when made one of the household he generally attaches himself more particularly to one person, whom he "owns," and whose protection he deems his special duty.
These qualities endear the Schipperke as a canine companion, with a quaint and lovable character; and he is also a capital vermin dog. When properly entered he cannot be surpassed as a "ratter."
More Schipperke History
Schipperkes have always been kept as watch-dogs on the Flemish canal barges, and that, no doubt, is the origin of the name, which is the Flemish for "Little Skipper," the syllable "ke" forming the diminutive of "schipper."
The respectable antiquity of this dog is proved by the result of the researches Mr. Van der Snickt and Mr. Van Buggenhoudt made in the archives of Flemish towns, which contain records of the breed going back in pure type over a hundred years.
The first in Schipperke History
The first Schipperke which appeared at a show in this country was Mr. Berrie's Flo. This was, however, such a mediocre specimen that it did not appeal to the taste of the English dog-loving public. In 1888 Dr. Seelig brought over Skip, Drieske, and Mia. The first-named was purchased by Mr. E. B. Joachim, and the two others by Mr. G. R. Krehl. Later on Mr. Joachim became the owner of Mr. Green's Shtoots, and bought Fritz of Spa in Belgium, and these dogs formed the nucleus of the two kennels which laid the foundation of the breed in England.
It was probably the introduction of the Schipperke to England that induced Belgian owners to pay greater attention to careful breeding, and a club was started in 1888 in Brussels, whose members, after "long and earnest consideration," settled a description and standard of points for the breed.
Schipperke Club History
Not long afterwards the Schipperke Club (England) was inaugurated, and drew up the following standard of points, which was adopted in December, 1890, and differed only very slightly from the one acknowledged by the Belgian society and later by the St. Hubert Schipperke Club.
