Today Microsoft also announced their earnings for the third quarter of their 2016 fiscal year. Revenue, income and earnings were all down compared to Q3 2015, with revenue for the quarter of $20.5 billion, which is down 6%. Operating income was $5.3 billion, down 20%, and net income was $3.8 billion, which is down 25%. Earnings per share were $0.47, down 23% compared to a year ago.

Microsoft Q3 2016 Financial Results (GAAP)
  Q3'2016 Q2'2016 Q3'2015
Revenue (in Billions USD) $20.531 $23.796 $21.729
Operating Income (in Billions USD) $5.283 $6.026 $6.594
Gross Margin (in Billions USD) $12.809 $13.924 $14.568
Margins 62.4% 58.5% 67.0%
Net Income (in Billions USD) $3.759 $4.998 $4.985
Basic Earnings per Share (in USD) $0.48 $0.63 $0.61

Microsoft also reported non-GAAP earnings, which exclude revenue deferrals and the impact of restructuring charges. On a non-GAAP basis, revenue was $22.1 billion, which is up 2% year-over-year. Operating income was $6.8 billion, up 1%, and net income was $5.0 billion, down 3%. Earnings per share were $0.62, which was flat year over year. In addition to non-GAAP metrics, Microsoft also added constant currency results due to the high US dollar, and based on constant currency (CC), revenue was up 5%, operating income was up 10%, net income was up 6%, and earnings per share were up 10%.

Productivity and Business Processes, which includes Office commercial and consumer, and Office 365 commercial and consumer, as well as Dynamics products, had revenue for the quarter of $6.52 billion, which was up 1% year-over-year, or 6% based on CC. However, the gross margin for this segment fell 4%, and operating income came in at $2.99 billion, which was down 7%. Microsoft attributes the lower margins due to higher numbers of people using cloud services, which means, at least for the moment, the cloud offerings from Microsoft are making them less money than the non-subscription model, which is pretty interesting. I would guess that a lot of that is due to the large spending that is taking place to constantly expand infrastructure to handle new clients, but that is only a guess.

Looking at the numbers of Office though are very interesting. The consumer version of Office 365 increased from 12.4 million a year ago to 22.2 million this year. That is an increase in seats of 79% year-over-year, which is extremely good. A few years ago, I don’t think a subscription version of Office would have worked, but clearly Microsoft has found a solid hook for consumers with the packages. Even more impressive is the commercial seats for Office 365 business. Microsoft doesn’t often announce their user base for this, but on the earnings call, CEO Satya Nadella announced that they have over 70 million monthly active users for Office 365 commercial, and that is an increase in seats of 57% year-over-year. Also good news for Microsoft is that they have seen a 35% quarter-over-quarter growth in their premium protection services offered as part of the higher tiers of Office 365, and a key driver is the new premium tier, Office 365 Suite E5. Not to be outdone by Office, Dynamics CRM Online has seen its seats more than double year-over-year, and 80% of new CRM customers are choosing the cloud version.

Next up is the Intelligent Cloud segment, which includes server and server products, as well as cloud infrastructure such as Azure. Revenue for the quarter was $6.10 billion, which is up 3% year-over-year, or 8% in CC. Gross margin declined 2% (up 3% CC) year-over-year, and once again due to a higher mix of cloud services. The infrastructure expenditure here is a lot, and operating expenses grew 13% with investments in cloud infrastructure. With the lower margins and higher expenses, operating income fell 14% to $2.19 billion. Server products and cloud services had revenue growth of 5% CC, which is pretty stable, but it is Azure that is the big growth here. Azure revenue grew 120% CC this quarter, compared to the same time last year. Azure compute usage and Azure SQL usage more than doubled, and the Enterprise Mobility customer install base grew almost four times.

AWS is still the king of cloud computing, but Microsoft continues to make big gains here. They also are the only major cloud company to offer a hybrid offering, both with the traditional Windows Server elements, as well as the Azure Stack which can be run locally. At Build, they emphasised that are pushing towards more services in Azure as well, rather than having to have companies do the traditional VMs in the cloud. They still have a long way to go to catch AWS, but they continue to show this is a strength going forward.

The final segment of Microsoft is More Personal Computing, and this includes Windows, Surface, Xbox, phone, and search. Phone has certainly been a sore spot for Microsoft, and they took some big write-downs last year to basically write off the entire Nokia acquisition. For this quarter, revenue for this segment was $9.46 billion, which is up 1% year-over-year, or 3% CC. The increase in revenue this quarter was attributed to search and Surface, but lower phone and Windows revenue were a negative impact. Gross margin was 2% higher, once again due to search and Surface, and operating expenses fell 14% with the lower spending on phone. Operating income grew 57% for the quarter, to $1.65 billion. On a revenue basis, this is the largest single segment in Microsoft, but the margins for consumer are a lot lower than the enterprise services.

Windows 10 is now on over 270 million monthly active devices, but Windows OEM Pro declined 11% this quarter, which was worse than the commercial PC market. Revenue for non-Pro though grew 15%, which is quite a bit better than the PC market as a whole did, due to a bigger ratio of higher priced devices being sold. Windows volume licensing grew 6% CC.

On the devices side, revenue for devices fell 9% CC, and this is due to Lumia phone sales dropping off a cliff. Revenue for Lumia fell 46% year-over-year. This negative marred a great performance by the Surface line, and Surface had a 61% CC increase in revenue to $1.111 billion for the quarter, which is the second straight quarter where Surface was over $1 billion in revenue. Sales of the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book are doing well.

Microsoft no longer breaks out sales numbers for Xbox, but gaming revenue grew 6% CC for the quarter. Microsoft is seeing an increase in Xbox Live transactional revenue, and they have a 26% increase in Xbox Live users compared to a year ago. Video game revenue was up 11% CC, and I would imagine a good chunk of that is still Minecraft. Xbox hardware revenue declined, with less sales of the Xbox 360 which is now officially out of production.

Search revenue, excluding traffic acquisition costs, grew 18% CC. Microsoft is getting more revenue per search, and search volume is also up. As a tidbit, they said that 35% of search revenue in the month of March was on Windows 10 devices.

Microsoft Q3 2016 Financial Results (GAAP)
  Productivity and Business Processes Intelligent Cloud More Personal Computing
Revenue (in Billions USD) $6.52 $6.10 $9.46
Operating Income (in Billions USD) $2.99 $2.19 $1.65
Revenue Change YoY +1%, +6% CC +3%, +8% CC +1%, +3% CC
Operating Income Change YoY -7% -14% +57%

Microsoft paid $6.4 billion back to investors in Q3 2016, with $3.6 billion in share buybacks and $2.8 billion in dividends. Looking ahead to Q4, Microsoft expects revenues to be between $21.7 billion and $22.4 billion.

The company continues to move from a traditional software company to a cloud infrastructure player, and with the results today we can see some big gains there. It was great to get an updated number for Office 365 commercial seats, which are now at over 70 million monthly users, and the growth in Azure is very large. Microsoft missed the boat on mobile, but are making up for it with platform agnostic solutions, and they are looking heavily towards conversations-as-a-service with bot integration in Skype and more. The Surface lineup is now very strong, when only a few years ago it had to endure a massive write-down. Phones, on the other hand, were basically non-existent and the acquisition of Nokia seems to be all for naught.

    I spent 3+ years on windows phone, firmly sticking around and refusing to believe i was missing out on much. I somehow reluctantly switched to android a few months back. What an eye opener that was! There's absolutely nothing i miss from widows phone. In fact the gap (not just apps) now looks bigger than ever. They over-promised and under-delivered massively on mobile, i doubt there's coming back from it to be honest, and the numbers reflect that. Reply
  • damianrobertjones - Friday, April 22, 2016 - link

    Don't you find Android to be a shiny version of Windows mobile 6.5? It's just clunky and all over the place (IMO). Reply
  • maximumGPU - Friday, April 22, 2016 - link

    I'm using stock android, so can't comment on other skinned ones from manufacturers. Yes i find some of the settings a bit all over the place. But other than that, i don't really have any complaints. App number and quality is there (the same apps on windows phone had in general less features and less updates), speed is there, widgets are great (better than live tiles imo).. All around a solid experience so far for me.
    For the curious i was on a lumia 930 and moved to a nexus 5X.

    @maximumGPU: "App number and quality is there (the same apps on windows phone had in general less features and less updates)"

    Agree with the app numbers argument, but I suppose there isn't much of a difference in quality for the apps I've tried. They do get updated less often than on my Android tablet, but the android updates often seem to be bug fixes and stability issues that aren't always present on their Windows Phone counterparts. Another update I could definitely do without are advertisement platform updates. Frankly, most updates don't bring new features. Granted, their are a few apps I've used that are legitimately second class on Windows Phone, and I've found alternatives. For instance, I like the metronome and tuner apps I've found (Windows Phone only) better than the ones I've used on Android. My experience will obviously be different than yours, but it is easy to just update without looking at what is updated, so you may have missed that part.

    @maximumGPU: "... , speed is there, ..."

    Smoothness and UI responsiveness has always been better on Windows Phone for both myself and a fairly sizable (though statistically insignificant) crowd of people I know who have used them. That said, more than a few review sites have talked about UI smoothness and general responsiveness as a weakness of Android, so it's not surprising. Though, in my opinion, it did get better when they release Android RunTime (ART).

    maximumGPU: "... , widgets are great (better than live tiles imo), ..."

    Given that I don't much care for either, I'll go with the one that is less resource intensive. So I guess we'll just have to disagree here.

    @damianrobertjones: "Don't you find Android to be a shiny version of Windows mobile 6.5? It's just clunky and all over the place (IMO)."

    I feel like neither Android nor iOS could figure out how to get away from the whole desktop icon system that started way back in the 90s. The organization is a bit different and they don't have start menus per say, but you are right. There is a striking resemblance to Windows Mobile once you take the makeup off. Admittedly the first attempt at tiles seemed a little kindergarten in the looks, but it was still a pretty effective method to work with. Now that they have transparency tiles on user selected backgrounds, the looks are quite good IMO.

    I'm not saying android can't provide a solid experience or that your move to android wasn't positive. Certainly Nexus devices can be extremely good with few compromises to privacy, the ability to uninstall carrier loaded junk, and the promise of security updates well beyond the time frame that other android manufacturers have been willing to do. Though I do wish they'd do more with expandable storage.

    @maximumGPU: "For the curious i was on a lumia 930 and moved to a nexus 5X. "

    Good Job :)

    I will, however, say that your experience is not universal. My time spend on a Lumia 920 has not left me wanting and having several android tablets and my wife's android phone (mine until I went back) to deal with, I know what the other side of the fence looks like. Certainly, there are benefits to be had, but Windows Phone is not without its advantages. It just depends on what is important to you. A third major player would be good for the industry as well, but most people don't buy a phone to support the industry.
  • maximumGPU - Friday, April 22, 2016 - link

    linkedin, whatsapp, facebook, ebay to name just a few of the big ones that are better (in some cases dramatically so) on Android. Then you've got all the bank apps that pulled out or don't bother.
    Then it's a questions of the apps that matter to you. (i use Synology apps, few productivity ones, spotify, games) and all of them were of higher quality on my nexus. And i certainly do not miss the "resuming..." or "loading..." pages.

    It's as you say dependent on use cases, and maybe yours is not that sensitive to app quality. But other than a cool looking tile interface (with reduced functionality compared to widgets), i couldn't find a compelling reason to stay.

    I have heard that the banks are working on UWP Win10 versions instead. So they'll have one codebase for desktop down to smartphone, and that means less for them to maintain. Reply

    There is a bank in 2016 that is building a desktop application? Reply

    Well, I'm still on Lumia 920 (and Lumia 830 for my work phone) and really like it. I hd opportunity to replace 830 with Galaxy S6... tried Galaxy for a few days and went back to 830.

    Not to be taken wrong, S6 is higher-end phone... but I just preferred how Win Phone works. A habit, to a degree... but I love minimalist GUI that follows default Win apps.

    I'm also finding quite interesting to follow Win 10 development on phone. Have been running preview on 830 for some time, and not long ago upgraded to full release. It is developing nicely - from number of bugs and glitches, I'm aware of only one at the moment - my phone's screen will blink rarely, maybe once a week? for no obvious reason. Eventually it might be something with my phone, but it never happened under 8.1.

    I must say, I'm very undemanding on apps - I'm surrounded with computers and tablets both at work and at home, so I rarely need phone to be my alpha device... and what I need is there - and works good for me. SMS, email, calendar, FB, maps & nav, weather, KeePass, Skype, Viber... that would be it. Rarely a game, and a simple one... sort of like while waiting wife to finish her shopping.

    On a side note: comparing my Lumias to wife's iPhone 5s... her phone does freeze/blackscreen on occasion and needs soft reset. Maybe once a month? Right now her internet access (over cellular) does not work... though this might be due to maintenance local Vodafone is doing. Even if both my Lumias are on the same provider. Anyway, my Lumia 920 froze once in the past 2.5 years, and twice I had to reboot because it was running hot and wasting battery... and all those incidents happened in the 1st year of ownership. From my personal experience, Windows phone turned out more stable and reliable platform than iOS, and judging from my Android using friends experience, than Android too.

    Looking forward Surface phone.

How To Succeed At Everything You Do

Success comes to those who dare to start, so lazy people never make a difference in the world. Free resources spark initiation and change across the globe.

1. The One Success Secret You Already Know

Most of us want success in our careers, families, and lives. Lazy people wait for miraculous signs. But, people who make a difference should start taking their first steps.

The uncertain journey to Secret success is sweet if we know changing tracks is inevitable. For, we never know what choices lie ahead until we approach.

Learning occurs when we ask questions and ponder answers. Accessible free resources promote self-learning, and those may suit one better than college or university.

Briefly, those that start well succeed more often. Therefore, start well now. Sloth is a grave mistake if you want to succeed or be happy.

2. Change: Adapting to Succeed

Adapting to Succeed

We each have our limited skill sets, and we are all flawed. However, the fear of failure should not overtake the defining human skill to adapt.

Human proficiency is a curve. Hence, we change and meet our expectations. We cannot know how we do things without trying them with heart. Trying new things makes us fulfilled. Therefore, the time to try our hands at things is now.

However, we should keep options for if we face repeating failure. Sometimes pressure corners us. Then we need to follow up on an out. For this, we need to know that our position is not permanent.

3. Keeping an Out

Complete career changes are uncommon, but those that can steer toward a fresh direction are brave. Likewise, you must know when to change tracks, because there are no signboards on the road to success.

Entrepreneurs bring unknowns to the masses. It is all about putting yourself out there as a brand. For example, you cannot rise to a General if you do not enrol in the army first.

As glory ends, so changes a period of humble beginnings into bigger things. In fact, eminent people respect those who work petty jobs; they stay fulfilled with little.

Standing on your own feet is an arduous task that takes dedication and time. Those who accomplish this feat are ready for the challenges of life.

The road to being successful forks many times, but you should not confuse yourself. Focus on your current task. At the end of every road, a happy future awaits.

4. Self-Education: Free Resources That Bring Success

We are lucky to have myriads of opportunities. Now the school has jumped the bounds of school, and education is easier than dreamt.

Now, education is of three types: formal, informal, and non-formal. The education we receive/d at school, college, or university is formal education. Again, knitting, which we often learn from family, is part of informal education. By contrast, education saves the school, e.g. boy scouts, adult courses, programs, etc., is non-formal.

Informal education has been the same for a long time, and formal education guides us. Yet, unsung non-formal education upholds the most natural learning experience: that of self-education.

Besides, in non-formal or self-education, we may ask as many questions as we want and get feedback. Though automation hastens the process, a human touch still stays.

Moreover, unlike chalk on blackboards, online resources stay up forever.

5. Self-Education’s Benefits

Non-formal education helps you become successful in your field in two ways. First, it lets you start in any field with a strong footing and make career changes without direct consequences.

Next, you have control over your study pace and may try out many paths you like, at once.

6. Find Free Resources

Some school sites, e.g. Coursera, EdX, Saylor Academy, Udemy, Skillshare, etc., teach slews of themes. These are the best online hubs of learners like us.

The openness of these gives you mobility and flexibility. Besides, free, mobile, and video resources always help you take those first leaps.

College may not be for you, and half-hearted learning bears no fruit. If you confide in non-formal education, invest your time into an effective start.

7. A Good Start: Success’s Open Secret

Good Start

The open secret that makes you successful faster: do not be lazy. If you know these magic words, no man or thing can ever block your way.

Starting takes courage, especially when trying unconventional ventures. From adapting to change to educating yourself, everything starts with one swift decision to start.

Whether you decide with wit or on a whim is up to you, but remember the consequences.

The universe will not give miraculous cues for you to start. Instead, we all must quit the common sin of laziness. Lazy people not only stir chaos in society but also doom their future selves.

8. Why Start Now

The waiting man does not succeed easily. For instance, a man that waits for supreme chances loses to whoever knows the lay of the land. Beginnings are humble and messier than reckoned, but we must start somewhere.

Now we know that we can change our learning path at any time using resources at absolutely no cost. Thus, those can aid education for anyone from school, college, or university and develop versatile skills.

Therefore, start today–start now. You must complete your first works with the little you have and then build your success on it.

Soon your customers will pay you for your labour or make you a big name in your industry. However, to make this happen, you must first stop being lazy and procrastinating.

With all these accessible free resources at our fingertips, the wise have already started and failed many times over. You must dare to fail if you hope to be successful.

success secrets

There are two kinds of success secrets: those hidden away in the minds of creative millionaires and open ones. “Do not be lazy” is an open secret to being successful.

Nobody can keep you from making a needed career change. Hence, keep a back-up plan for you and/or your family.

Give up being ultra-classy, and experience the free online resources of today, the diamonds in the rough. For, they will surely help you get ahead.

The start of a career can make or break it. Therefore, get back on the horse, and conquer the world–but first, stop being lazy! Different people have different meanings of success.

If you feel that you are not successful, then probably you haven’t discovered yourself. Stop looking outside. Start looking inside.

Once you begin an inward journey, you do not need to copy others. You will find something that you love. Indeed, the first step is difficult.

But, once you cross the barrier, there is no one to stop you. Forget being lazy for once, and witness the world bloom into a domain of happiness forever.

Rumor: Fedor off Affliction II

New, 36 comments

There are rumors going around right now that Fedor is off Affliction II, and the main event will be Josh Barnett vs. Andrei Arlovski, with the winner (maybe) fighting Fedor. Sam Caplan posted the story here:

A reliable source speaking condition of anonymity revealed...that Emelianenko has been dealing with a lingering hand injury that will make it virtually impossible for him to be ready in time for Affliction's October show...

This will be a big blow to the momentum of the second show, because Fedor's streak was really their ace in the hole. This puts Tito Ortiz in an even better bargaining position too, if true.

Also, while the hand injury probably really is the reason he is off, I can't help but wonder if it has more to do with his unaffordable price tag.

Viviane Araujo wants to be ‘one step ahead’ of Jessica Eye, but doesn’t want title shot with a win

New, 4 comments

UFC’s 245 Viviane Araujo is hoping to gain more experience in the UFC before challenging for the flyweight title.

UFC 240: Weigh-ins Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images

Rising female flyweight Viviane Araujo seems to have her priorities in place ahead of an important bout against former title challenger Jessica Eye at UFC 245. Only two fights into her UFC career, the Brazilian already finds herself taking on an opponent who just recently came up short against champion Valentina Shevchenko. However, even with Jessica Eye’s high profile in the division, ‘Vivi’ does not see their upcoming bout as a fast track to the title.

In an interview with Bloody Elbow, Araujo points out that her careers is only just beginning. She wishes to gather more experience in the Octagon before getting a crack at the belt.

“I don’t plan to fight for the title after my next fight,” Araujo says. “I really want gain more experience in the UFC first, I want to have more fights. I want to fight some tough opponents, I know there are some tough girls coming up, whom have a lot of potential. I just need to work hard, I know the belt is coming, I can see it, so I just need to keep working hard, then when the title shots comes, I’ll be ready.”

Despite getting a late start in MMA (Araujo was 28-years-old when she had her professional debut) the Cerrado MMA Fighter, now at 33, doesn’t see her age as a hindrance in her career. Instead, she’s looking to some older veterans, such as former champion Holly Holm, as role models for athletes who are still doing well after 30.

“This is just the start for me. I think I’m rising. I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been. I feel good in this weight class. I’m evolving very fast. I can see my evolution after each fight. I don’t think this is much of a problem for women. We see plenty of women who are still on the top of their game after 30, like Holly Holm. I don’t think age is a problem, I feel well and I still have a lot of time left.”

Less than two weeks away from her fight against Jessica Eye, Araujo already has a gameplan ready for fight night. It’s a plan that leans heavily on outworking her opponent on the feet, using footwork and speed in order to score a dominant win on Saturday.

“I’ve been working on my cardio a lot. In my last fight, we noticed that I gassed, so I expect to have an exceptional gas tank for my next fight. It will be completely different. I’ll show a lot more gas, aggressiveness and explosiveness. I’ll use my footwork, my speed, which is my strong suit. Jessica doesn’t move around so much and she’s slower than me, so I’ll use my speed to always be one step ahead of her.”

Currently on a two-fight winning streak in the UFC, Araujo (8-1) knocked out Talita Bernardo in her debut, then followed that up with a unanimous decision win over Alexis Davis, back in July. Now, Vivi is expected to take on Jessica Eye at UFC 245, on December 14, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The card is scheduled to host three title shots: A welterweight battle between champion Kamaru Usman and former interim champion Colby Covington, a featherweight title bout between title holder Max Holloway and top contender Alexander Volkanovski, and a women’s bantamweight title fight between ‘double champ’ Amanda Nunes and former featherweight title holder Germaine de Randamie.

Junior dos Santos considering boxing move, Fedor Emelianenko fight after UFC release

New, 11 comments

Former UFC heavyweight champion is keeping his options open after his release from the promotion.

After a 12-year stint in the UFC, former heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos has a lot to consider before making the next move of his professional career, but not due to a lack of options.

In an interview with Ag Fight, ‘Cigano’ explained what are some of the choices on his mind, before making a decision. A boxer at heart, the Brazilian cannot rule out going back to his roots and trying his hand at professional boxing once again. In fact, Junior says he already has offers to think about.

“I’m taking some time to analyze this situation and choose my next step with certainty. I have offers. From boxing, too, which is my passion. Of course that it needs to be interesting for all parties, but I think it would be amazing if it ends up being viable. It would be pretty cool. I’ve always wanted to do that. When I focus solely on boxing, I do pretty well. I love the noble art.”

However, going back to using only his fists is not all Cigano wants to do, as he still believes there might be a future for him in mixed martial arts. Especially if he is able to face some of the legends he always wanted to take on, but never hand the chance. Namely iconic heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko, Bellator champion Ryan Bader and even former rival Alistair Overeem.

“I’m a big fan of Fedor and it would be pretty cool to face him. I’m not sure about his situation. I don’t know if he’s still fighting. I do know he’s with Bellator. Bader called us out, too. He wanted to welcome us, I think that would be really interesting. He’s a really tough guy, too. A rematch against Alistair Overeem, who always finds a way to avoid that topic. It can be in Bellator or wherever.”

Dos Santos (21-9) left the UFC on a four-fight losing skid, with TKO losses to Ciryl Gane, Jairzinho Rozenstruik, Curtis Blaydes and Francis Ngannou. Overall, the 37-year-old left the promotion with a 15-8 record. Cigano’s latest win dates back to March 2019, when he TKO’d Derrick Lewis.

video security monitoring

99/mo. It all depends on your home’s security needs. But bear in mind that if danger is detected, professional monitoring services will contact you first if a sensor is triggered. After the security provider has reached out to you and any emergency contacts they’ll contact the police on your behalf. So, the lag time between the triggered sensor and emergency responders getting to your home could be lengthy. On the other hand, unmonitored home security systems will automatically notify you directly when a sensor is triggered. Once you’re notified, you’ll have to determine whether or not it’s a false alarm or if you should call emergency services. DIY home security systems are less expensive because most features and equipment are purchased upfront – such as SimpliSafe’s professional monitoring package is as low as $14. 99/mo. Wireless home security systems work using iInternet or cellular signals to send alerts when sensors are triggered. Most DIY security equipment is purchased upfront instead of leasing.

alarm systems for houses

Happy Thanksgiving to you, and thanks again for your generous information sharing in terms I can understand and giving your time to answer questions!2I would not recommend using Wi Fi cameras only because I have found that WiFi cameras are not 100% reliable. I would use wired cameras and use wireless cameras only to reach places the wired ones cant go. Wi Fi is not great for maintaining a 100% reliable connection at all times, it was never designed for that purpose. Plus your wireless cameras then are dependent on how good your WiFi router is. At some point Wi Fi cameras will lose their connection to the Internet and have to reconnect, worst case they may fail to reconnect automatically and you may not realise they are down. I have got wired cameras running for nearly 2 years straight without as much as a reboot. You want reliability like that for your home security but you cant get that from wireless cameras. At least not yet. 2. Whatever CCTV system one chooses it will always need cameras, so a camera is a no brainer first purchase, assuming that one would opt for a ONVIF compliant system. One can then test this using Blue Iris or similar and a spare PC.

Cameras – Network cameras a. k. a IP cameras are fully digital – the image is sent digitally to the NVR through a network cable instead of an analogue BNC cable as in a DVR based system.

The Ethernet cables needed to connect the cameras to the NVRThe power adaptors for the cameras read on to see how you can avoid theseNow there are two ways of choosing the different parts above for your dream DIY home security camera kit – what I call going Pro DIY or Easy DIY.

The downside is having to read up on the essentials and ensuring compatibility between all the different bits but that’s why I am writing this blog: to help you make sense of it all. A huge advantage of going Pro DIY is that you can also set up a home automation system that can talk to your CCTV setup!Easy DIY – An All in one pre packaged solution where cameras are bundled with the NVR systemYou leave the tough work of building the kit to somebody else but you pay for the benefit.

Buyers' guide: What you need to know before purchasing your own private island

6 October 2021• Written by Sophia Wilson

With the private island property market booming, we find out from buyers and industry experts what you need to know before purchasing your own private island.

 “No man is an island,” wrote poet John Donne in 1624, but fast forward 400 years, add in a global pandemic, and it seems that plenty of men (and women) would like the chance to at least own one. In Q1 2021, superyacht sales totalled more than £1 billion and the private island market was equally hot, as ultra-high-net-worth individuals strived to secure their own isolated idyll.

Edward de Mallet Morgan, a partner of Knight Frank’s Super-Prime Global Residential division, believes there are a number of factors driving the surge in interest. “During the course of the pandemic some people have made a huge amount of money, and this is coupled with the fact that remote working has been properly tried and tested,” he says. “It has proven that people don’t need to be in the office or even the same country as the businesses they own or are shareholders in. The old normal doesn’t exist anymore, and it may never come back.”

A lot of interest has been centred around the Bahamas with the American market looking for easy-access bolt-holes. “The island market is extremely strong right now in the Bahamas,” says John Christie, CEO of HG Christie. “We had many, many calls during the height of the pandemic when everything was really locked down. Everyone was fantasising about [having] their own island.” However, Christie says these dreams have now turned into reality. “All the less expensive islands are getting sold and there is strong interest in big islands as well,” he says. “All kinds of things are going under or on contract now, from the $3 million [£2.1m] to the $65 million range. We are going to be running out of inventory of these kinds of islands in the Bahamas soon.”

The interest isn’t purely based in the Bahamas though, with New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty also seeing strong demand. “I get interest from across the board from high-net-worth individuals and families to those ‘chasing the dream’,” says sales associate Chester Rendell. “I have recently signed up a private island in Fiji, with the purchaser being an American with Hawaiian interests wanting to buy something that would be like what Hawaii was 50 years ago. This sale was actually done unseen.”

Discovering land from sea

Buying an island unseen is a rarity, but owners discovering their private island by superyacht is common. “The private-island mentality fits with the superyacht mentality,” says de Mallet Morgan. “If you look at historic owners of big private islands – people such as Richard Branson, Larry Ellison, Bernard Arnault and the Aga Khan – they are all also superyacht owners. I have an island called Little Pipe Cay on the market in the Exumas at the moment and the last four potential purchasers all visited on 80-metre-plus boats that they either own or were chartering.”

Christie believes that part of the allure is that islands act as status symbols. “It holds a lot of cache if you are talking about going to your island in the Bahamas,” says Christie. “You have your yacht, your private jet and the next thing you need is a private island. The purchaser of an island I just sold had a 33.5-metre yacht and a private jet.”

The appetite and the natural connection between land and sea may be there, but taking the plunge and purchasing tends to require a pull on the heart strings. Chris Bouton, the owner of Westport 112 Indigo, bought 11-hectare Johns Island in Maine in 2015 and remembers the moment he made the decision. “We didn’t really expect to be buying a private island, but when we got there it was just such a magical feeling,” he recalls. “We felt like we had walked into a different world and that was just so enticing that we couldn’t help but do it.”

Which one to buy?

Any private island purchase is bound to be led by the heart, but experts warn that there are serious factors that need to be considered. “There are a lot of islands out there,” says de Mallet Morgan. “Different shapes and sizes, freehold and leasehold, clear titles and unclear titles, accessible and in the middle of nowhere. You need to think about what you are hoping to get from it.”

Ed Bosarge’s 30-hectare Over Yonder Cay doesn’t disappoint, as one might expect from a man who has owned superyachts such as 54.6-metre Marie.

For de Mallet Morgan, infrastructure, accessibility and size are three of the most important considerations. “I think there is probably a sweet spot for private-use islands from a few acres up to 70 acres [30 hectares]. Anything over 100 acres starts to become a huge consideration. If you have got a 500-acre island you might be having a picnic with your family on one side and there could be drug trafficking happening on the other. Security is much more complex.”

Since the start of the pandemic there has been a greater interest in islands that already have infrastructure in place. “There’s been much more of a demand for finished islands that people can move right into, or at least have a roof over their head,” says Christie. “Before, people were more into the fantasy of building their dream island, but now they want to move in as opposed to having to wait years to build everything.” De Mallet Morgan agrees that most clients now are looking for instant gratification. “If you buy a bare island then you have got to be happy that it’s going to take you at least five years, if not more, to create your dream home,” he warns.

Starting from scratch

Ready-made islands may be in demand, but for many the allure of starting with a blank canvas is also appealing. Tim Hartnoll was sailing in the remote Anambas Archipelago in Indonesia when he discovered not one but a cluster of six islands. “Pulau Bawah had always been on the chart during our sailing trips and those familiar with the area had encouraged me to visit, but nothing could have prepared me for what I saw,” he recalls. “Originally, I thought I would build a small outpost to enjoy when I came to visit. But the realities of having electricity, fresh water and some additional niceties took over, and it made more sense to develop Bawah as a resort.”

Opened in 2018, the Bawah Reserve offers 36 suites on its main island, with the neighbouring island of Elang available for private hire. However, its sustainably focused creation has come with its fair share of challenges. “When building it, we struggled with getting everything we needed to the island,” he says. “There was no hardware store to pop to for a few more nails. Fortunately, the craftspeople in Indonesia are incredibly resourceful and skilled and sometimes missing something has led to a more impressive result.”

Lovango Cay, which opened this summer, is the first luxury resort and beach club in the US Virgin Islands for 30 years.

Mark and Gwenn Snider came across similar obstacles when developing Lovango Cay, which opened this summer as the first luxury resort and beach club in the US Virgin Islands in 30 years. “The biggest challenge is definitely logistics with a capital L, and we encountered everything from the sublime to the ridiculous,” Gwenn says. “For example, we had to import sand from Barbuda to fill in where the beach club was going. The sand sat in St Thomas until about three days before we opened because there wasn’t a boat big enough to bring it to us.”

The difficulties of developing a private island can also extend far beyond just the practicalities of building, as Dan and Christin Olofsson found when they bought Thanda Island off Tanzania’s eastern coast. “The biggest challenge for us has been to reach an agreement with the Tanzanian government, after Thanda Island was declared a protected marine reserve in March 2007,” explains Dan. “No exclusive-use lease had ever been concluded on a protected marine reserve before and the negotiations lasted for years. Eventually, in 2014, we received ministerial permission to bring to life what started as a dream so many years earlier.”

Getting off-grid

An additional hurdle that developments such as Lovango, Bawah and Thanda face is how to operate off-grid, but this was part of the appeal for Bouton. “I’m passionate about green and clean tech so it felt like an awesome opportunity to build a place that was using all those technologies to operate the island in a fundamentally new way,” he says. “One of the most important things that an island teaches you is that everything needs to be in balance; you’re constantly attempting to get all of your systems to work well together. For example, we put in a reverse osmosis system but that uses a ton of electricity, so then you need to generate more electricity to be capable of handling the water demands. But in a way it’s a wonderful lesson and something I have loved learning.”

Island time

There doesn’t seem to be any slowdown in interest on the horizon. “For the foreseeable future we anticipate the market will be pretty strong,” says Christie. “Islands have been a great investment over the years. Sometimes the market slows down a little bit, but I have never known them go down in value.”

Despite their investment potential, those who have been there and done it agree that it needs to be a labour of love rather than an economic decision. “You need to be prepared for setbacks, the kind you will have no frame of reference for,” says Hartnoll. “If you are developing an island from the start, then whatever timeline you have in mind, triple it, along with the budget.”

Bouton’s advice to anyone considering taking the plunge? “Do it: you only live once and if you have the opportunity and the place is magical then it’s worth all the logistics and all the rest of it. It really is a special thing to share with your family and friends.” Perhaps the real beauty of buying a private island is that it means you don’t need to be an island after all.

The Silk Roads

A new history of the world

Bookey：unlock big ideas from bestsellers in 30 mins audio, text, and mind map.  Download app to enjoy your free daily mind snack.

00:00 / 03:24

Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today we'll unlock the book The Silk Roads: A New History of the World.

When discussing the Silk Road, most people view it as an ancient trade route that connects the East with the West. History bestowed it with a great deal of mystery and legend: camels and goods travelled on the trade route; merchants of different races, different countries, and diverse cultural backgrounds interacted and traded with each other; Chinese silk and porcelain flowed along this trade route to various countries in the west. Silver from western countries also moved to the east on the same path…

This account of The Silk Roads that we will uncover today uses multiple threads to tell the stories that took place on the Silk Road, starting more than 2,000 years ago. The book begins its story with the creation of the Silk Road. Using a broad time frame, it recounts the stories of countries from their peak to their decline, and from humble beginnings to becoming entities that wield absolute power. It has shaped world history into a brand-new system. It reveals to people that for much of history, the world's axis revolved around the Silk Road. Each countries history doesn't evolve in isolation and is more or less associated with the Silk Road. From the Silk Road, we can see that the world is smaller and more accessible than we've previously imagined. World history has been redefined.

Once the book The Silk Roads was published, it quickly became a best-selling book around the world, and was even listed as No.1 in World History on Amazon UK! It was also no.1 in the genre of Historical Geography on Amazon US and no.1 on the list of non-fiction best sellers in India. It was also recommended by various organizations and figures. The People's Daily in China recommended it twice in 19 days, which was an unprecedented move by the most influential Chinese publication. The Times commented on the book saying: “Many books have been written which claim to be ‘A New History of the World.’ This rare one fully deserves the title.” The Economist stated: Frankopan uses exquisite and intelligent language to interpret a world history revolving around the East. The famous British historian William Dalrymple lavishly praised the book by saying: “ambition that is rare … a remarkable book on many levels, a proper historical epic of dazzling range and achievement.”

Peter Frankopan is the author of this book and a famous British historian. He has received considerable attention from mainstream academic historians around the world because he's shown a talent for examining the anatomy of the contemporary world from a perspective that differs from European history. For this book, The Silk Roads, in particular, he consulted all the literary and historical resources that he could find in libraries around the world. Finally, he wrote this well sourced book which included nearly a hundred citations for each chapter on average, as can be seen from its numerous endnotes.

Next, we will uncover the stories of the Silk Road in these three sections:

Section One, the birth and prosperity of the Silk Road;

Section Two, the Wars of the Silk Road;

Section Three, another origin of the Silk Road.

“Your” instead of “you’re” happens to the best of us

Shirley Holder Platt

by Shirley Holder Platt

As a writer, do you struggle with grammar and spelling? I admit, spelling isn’t as big a deal now—especially with the advent of auto-correct—as it was back in the day of typewriters, with the incessant need for white-out. But for fiction and non-fiction books alike, it’s still a thing.

As a reader, I often notice the misuse of there, their, and they’re. This always jumps out at me and jars me out of a story. So if you’re not sure, here’s the rule:

Use there for location.
Use their to show possession.
Use they’re instead of “they are.”

Example: They’re over there getting their photos taken.

Which brings us to you’re vs. your.

Rule: Only use you’re when you mean “you are.” If you’re not sure which to use, replace “you’re” with “you are”; if your sentence still makes sense, you’re on the right track. It’s simple, right?

Oh, don’t get me started on its vs. it’s!

Okay, I’m already started . . . .

The rule? Here you go:

Use its when you need a possessive pronoun—like “hers” or “his,” except for a non-human.

Example: The dog offered its paw for a friendly shake.

Use it’s instead of “it is” or “it has.”

Example: It’s been a long time since the dog had its bath.

And what about that ellipsis I used earlier? For some reason, I enjoy using those three dots. Need a rule for that?

Use an ellipsis (shown as three dots with a space before and after each) when omitting text. In the case of the sentence I used above, the omitted word or words must be implied by the reader. I may have meant to say, “Okay, I’m already started, so it’s too late for that,” or maybe I meant, “I’m already started and might as well finish the thought.”

What about at the end of a sentence? According to Daily Writing Tips, use the three dots and add a period after, so four dots.

Now, I will admit, the four dots seem strange to me, and I’m not sure what Daily Writing Tips would say about using an ellipsis to show someone’s speech being interrupted. I use three myself.

Want one more? Where does the punctuation go when using parentheses?

Here’s the rule:

If the entire sentence is parenthetical, put the period inside. (Here’s an example of that.)
If only part of the sentence is in parentheses, put the punctuation outside (like a comma or semicolon).

Now you know!

Shirley Holder Platt is the author of twelve romance, one chick lit, and one romantic mystery novel. She has one crime/comedy novel, Mama Needs New Shoes, that won the October 2018 Most Buzz Award. Several of her now-published novels appeared first on ChapterBuzz.
