My Storied Camera Saga — 13 Camera In 4.5 Years.
The good or bad news is that I have plateaued. I am not going through cameras at a fast rate anymore. Plus, following the acquisition of my Google Pixel 2 for Christmas 2017 I no longer feel the need to have two cameras — a big one and a compact. The Google Pixel is my 2nd camera. So, just need one full-frame camera at any one time.
I kept my Sony a7 II for 690-days and took 30,455 pictures with it. I also kept the mega-zoom Nikon P900 around for long time but did not use it much after the first 9 months or so. The zoom was nice but I had become fond of BIG sensors.
Getting to know my new, 3-week old, Canon EOS RP. Need a couple more lenses. Plan is to keep it for at least a year, if not more. It seems pretty capable. Goal is to hang onto the lenses. That is why I went (bcak) to Canon.

The Rumored Panasonic Full-Frame Camera Has Me Baffled — But, WHY?
I fully understood why Nikon and now, supposedly, Canon, would announced Full-Frame mirrorless cameras. Nikon & Canon are leaders in Full-Frame DSLR cameras and have tons of Full-Frame lenses for their DSLR. For them it was the transitioning from DSLR to mirrorless SOMETHING that I knew was inevitable 4-years ago when I decided that I was going mirrorless from the start.
Panasonic makes good cameras and I loved the Panasonic FZ1000 I owned a couple years ago. It took lovely pictures. But, Panasonic doesn't even have APS-C lenses.
This makes NO sense to I. But, the rumored Canon EOS R sure does.

Was The $250 Off The Nikon 1 J5 1″ Mirrorless A Mistake Or Just A 24-Hour Trial.
Not that want one or even vaguely interested. Was just curious to see what the deal was.
I could NOT find any at $250 when I went looking at 12:30 am,
June 13, 2017.
Just the regular $1,046 price. However, what is interesting is that it still says 'ONLY 1 LEFT IN STOCK'.
What gives? They didn't sell the one? Very strange.
What I really was trying to determine was whether this was an indication that Nikon, after the disaster of the 1″ mirrorless DL-range cancellation, was also trying to get out of 1″ mirrorless altogether. That would make sense. Panasonic and Sony have quite a stranglehold of that segment.
Now I am nonplussed.

Panasonic, Latest Digital Camera Company To Run Into Trouble — After Nikon & Samsung.
That their digital camera sales, despite their prowess in 4K video, is declining comes as no surprise. Camera sales across the board, across all manufacturers, are declining. People are using their increasingly capable smart phones. Plus their hands are full with the phone. They have no hands to use for a camera.
Samsung gave up the ghost in 2015.
Nikon is in trouble and is dramatically scaling back new camera introductions. THAT IS GOOD.
And now Panasonic. Panasonic currently has 192 cameras on its books. That is CRAZY. Way too many. They have introduced too many cameras with very little to differentiate them. Now they have to pay the price, and the piper.
However, what is strange about Panasonic announcement is the claim that they are going merge the digital cameras with another division — and doesn't name what division that might be.
There is nothing that seems obvious. They could probably put it with 'Home + Office' which has phones, printers, solar panels and vacuum cleaners. We will have to wait and see. But, one thing is clear. They have to start rationalizing and trimming their camera repertoire. Way too many models.

More Bad News From Nikon Might Signal A Much-Needed Re-Trenching/Consolidation Of The Digital Camera Market.
Another BAD NEWS Press Release
from Nikon on February 13, 2017.
This Press Release right on the heels of the one that
the much anticipated 1″ DL compacts have been cancelled.
Mobile phones with high-quality camera capability have been steadily eating into digital camera sales for the last few years.
It is finally beginning to take a heavy toll. Nikon could be the first to stumble.
Nikon currently, per DPReview, has 250 cameras on its books. That is crazy.
Canon has 278, Sony 277, Olympus 243, Fujifilm 239, Panasonic 193 and Pentax 135.
That is a total of 1,615 digital cameras from 7 camera manufacturers — at an average of 230 per vendor.
I have consistently maintained that this is too many. Each camera that you keep on your books costs money.
Nikon announced 14 new cameras in 2016 — 3 of them being the 1″ DL compacts that were cancelled yesterday.
Nikon and the others MUST cut back on new releases. We do NOT need so many variants at so many different price points.
Just a couple of good ones, at the low, medium and high bands.
The camera industry has ALREADY seen a sea change in vendors. Kodak, Polaroid and Agfa are no longer the market leaders they one were.
We have seen such dramatic shifts in leadership in the computer industry. Once famous names, now no more; e.g., NCR, Burroughs, CDC, Univac, DEC, DG, Wang, Stratus, Sun etc. etc.
The same WILL happen to these digital camera vendors. Mark my word.

New Cameras Announced So Far In 2017 By The Major Players — None By Nikon Or Sony!
Click pictures to ENLARGE.
Just happened to notice that Nikon hadn't announced anything, so far, in 2017 — mainly because I was wondering whether it has been a year since the premature announcement of the ill-fated 1″-sensor DL range. They were announced on February 23, 2016. So it is not a year as yet.
Noting from Sony either. By this time last year they had announced the groundbreaking Sony a6300.
So this is the state of play. Just thought I would share. Enjoy and cogitate.

New Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 — Not Convinced It Is Worth $601 More Than A Sony a6500.
Click to ENLARGE.
I could be wrong but I don't see the justification for the added $601.
IF it was APS-C or Full-Frame — yes.
But, darn it — it is a Four-Thirds sensor. Panasonic appears to be playing the same game recently played by Olympus with the much anticipated OM-D E-M1 Mk II. That too was priced, body-only, at $1,999.
I think the Four-Thirds vendors are HOPING that a $1,999 might make their cameras look better. Not sure that that is going to work.
Yes, the Panasonic GH5, at the end of April, with a new version of firmware, is supposed to get some groundbreaking video features. That has zero value to me.
I just can't see paying $2,000 for a 20MP Four-Thirds body. Period!
It would be competitive if it was $1,400 U.S.

What if research could identify a way to give your body a fighting chance? Kick-start the path to healing?
Ataxia, sensorineural hearing loss, and myelopathy; These are the real enemies you confront because of superficial siderosis. Yes, free iron wreaks havoc, but this mix of symptoms will rob you of your independence and your wellbeing. The damage at the cellular level creeps along annoyingly slow for many years until one day you realize, "What's happening with my body? To my life?"
The goal of surgery is clear. To stop an active bleed from creating a heavier or more widespread iron build-up. Newly diagnosed patients are often confused by the chelation process. Will it make the symptoms better? Will it make me better? The purpose of chelation is to remove the iron and stop your cell damage from progressing. It won't address the damage already done. In theory, if you remove the build-up, you can slow or arrest the deterioration. Maybe then, your cells have a chance to begin the healing process.
Harnessing the power of our patient registry
The dream of patient-powered research was the seed that became our Superficial Siderosis Patient Registry. A community website where we can overcome the geographic distance between us to collect data and offer everyone the chance to participate in new studies as they become available. All studies need a researcher and funding, but more importantly data.
The time to begin is now
We have begun the search for grant money so a natural history study can be completed on superficial siderosis. The knowledge of a rare disease or conditions natural history is a vital step in laying the foundation for a successful clinical development program. That's especially true when developing or discovering drugs to treat rare diseases which are not understood. A natural history study would track the course of superficial siderosis as it progresses naturally if left untreated. Dr. Michael Levy has agreed to oversee this research, and when the time comes, we will need to reach out to those who have chosen to allow the natural progression.
A funding source is also required to initiate the two-year randomized, double-blind placebo control study of the efficacy of Ferriprox (Deferiprone).
Where we start
Our first registry effort will be the creation of The Superficial Siderosis Research Tissue Donation Project. We still have many details to work on, but this project is vital to the future of superficial siderosis. Research takes a very long time, so as hard as it may be to face, even though some of our community friends will never experience the benefits you still have an opportunity to contribute. To make a difference to those who follow with a real chance to live a better life.
Kyle Dempsy has spearheaded the fundraising effort in the United States while Jason Roberts and the Silent Bleed Charity have worked their magic from the United Kingdom. We recognize that not everyone is able to help financially, but we are looking for project volunteers. End-of-life donation of brain and spinal cord tissue for superficial siderosis research is the most generous gift you can make. It's not a happy place, contemplating your mortality, but we need ten volunteers at a minimum who will consent to this donation so steps may be put in place ahead of time.
You have the opportunity to help in Dr. Levy's quest to find answers. By improving the understanding of superficial siderosis and the pathophysiology, research will be able to explain the functional changes at a cellular level that are occurring within an individual due to superficial siderosis. By exposing the how's and why's, we can empower researchers to not only discover better treatments but ultimately a pathway to healing.
We realize there will be some cost involved with a donation of this type, so we are committed to raising funds so your family will not have to shoulder the burden of an added expense. All tissue donations and records will be stored under the supervision of Dr. Levy and his team. Donors will be released to your family after the procedure is complete and will in no way interfere with internment plans.
Once we have a clear view on how to organize this process, an information packet will be available on the patient registry website. Construction on this new website section will begin soon. All registered patients and caregivers will receive updates via the registry email list. Spinal cord and brain injuries tell us our bodies can be very resilient. We have a very long way to go, but baby steps begin every journey.

Congress floor leader in the Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury has been appointed Chairman of the Committee on Public Accounts (PAC of Parliament).
While BJP's Girish Bhalchandra Bapat has been named as Chairman of the Committee on Public Estimates, his party colleague Meenakshi Lekhi has been appointed Chairperson of the Committee on Public Undertakings. BJP member Kirit Premjibhai Solanki is the new Chairman of the Committee on the Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (SC/STs) and party MP Ganesh Singh will head the Committee on Welfare of Other Backward Classes (OBCs). The Chairmanship of the PAC, the most important parliamentary panel, conventionally goes to the principal opposition party, which passes it on to its leader in the House. Sometimes, the main opposition party gives it to another leader.
Mallikarjun Kharge, who was the Congress leader in the 16th Lok Sabha, was the Chairman of the PAC earlier. The BJP and its allies outnumber the opposition in the panel. BJP representatives include former Union Minister of State for Finance Jayant Sinha.
Speaker Om Birla is yet to constitute subject-wise committees. Though, theoretically, the presiding officer constitutes these panels, the exercise is handled by the Parliamentary Affairs Minister in consultation with leaders of party groups. Parties get the Chairmanship of the Committees on the basis of their strength in the two Houses.

THE KINGS OF SUMMER reviewed by Pamela Powell
I want you to think back to being a teen. Yes, for some of us, it seems like a century ago, but I know you can do it. Remember having rules, curfews, nosy parents? (Let's not think about the braces, the zits, and the glasses...that gives me the chills.) Everyone's parents drove them nuts because they just didn't understand, right? What was one of the most irritating behaviors one of your parents had? My mother wore a "house coat" during the day with curlers in her hair. No, that wasn't embarrassing at all. Well, THE KINGS OF SUMMER brings us all back to the days of being a teen. In this film, three teens with varying irritation with their parents, decide to run away and build their own "home" in a clearing in the woods. They become the kings of their domain. They have no rules, but do have to fend for themselves which may prove to be a bit more difficult than their handy little guide book initially implied.
"The Kings of Summer" was originally entitled "Toy's House" and premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. There was so much buzz about this film, that tickets were nearly impossible to get and rightfully so! Nick Robinson, Gabriel Basso, Moises Arias, Alison Brie and my favorite couple Nick Offerman and his wife Megan Mullally, starred in this coming of age movie which appealed to both genders and all age groups. As we were introduced to the boys and their families, the story unfolded from the boys' perspective. Relationships were at the heart of this movie. From family relationships, friendships, to young love, Joe, Patrick, and Biaggio all see things a little differently. Relationships and self-perception, as I am sure we all remember, were a terrorizing roller coaster ride at this age. The film aptly paints that picture as the boys build their dwelling, "hunt" at the local chicken shack, and tackle relationships between themselves, girls, and their parents. The stressors throughout the movie (yes, there's young love so a girl is one of the "stressors") push these boys to grow up and test the waters of what's ahead. Painted with deft skill and beautiful imagery, "The Kings of Summer" reminded me of what was important when I was growing up. The decade is different, but people and relationships haven't changed a bit. Discovering your world as well as yourself was an adventure each and every day. Through humor and realistic characters, "The Kings of Summer" was the perfect summer adventure.
"The Kings of Summer" is a summer movie must-see for all. Even though the main characters are boys, both male and female, no matter his or her age, will enjoy this film. Go see "The Kings of Summer" and reconnect with nature and your youth! And parents, try not to drive your kids nuts this summer!

It most definitely delivers! Let me know what you think when you see it!ReplyDelete
I'll read this review after I see it :D I'm really excited for it, so I hope I get to see it soon. I thought the trailer was very funny. And I love a good coming-of-age tale.ReplyDelete

Sawmill Canyon Ranch
Property Description
$250K PRICE REDUCTION – The Sawmill Canyon Ranch consists of approximately 10,902 deeded acres and 9,152 BLM lease acres, for a total of 20,054 acres, or 31.3 sections. The ranch is priced as a total ranching unit and not on a per‑acre basis
The House: The main house is a beautiful 5,000 sq. ft., two‑story, five bedrooms, and five‑bath home. There is a large bunkhouse, garage, walk‑in cooler, meat processing room, a shop building and horse barn, working pens, and riding/roping arena. East of headquarters, at Burro Springs, are a horse barn and pens. The ranch is fenced and cross-fenced.
Topography: The elevation varies from about 5200' on the south end to over 8000' on the west and north portions. The topography varies from grassy plains breaking into moderate pinon/juniper studded canyons, to deep, rugged canyons and high, mountainous type terrain.
Vegetation: The most predominant grasses and browse consist of Blue gramma, Sideoats gramma, Hairy gramma, Sixweeks gramma, Tobosa, Sand dropseed, Oak, Apache Plume, and Mountain mahogany. The range is in excellent condition.
Precipitation: The average annual precipitation varies from 10 to 12 inches in the lower country to 12 to 14 inches on the north end.
Water: The majority of the ranch is watered by a very strong spring that is located just above the north boundary on USDA Forest Service property. The ranch has a water right on this spring that is registered with the State Engineer's Office. There are four wells on the ranch varying in depth from 100′ to nearly 300′. There is a very extensive watering system in place that serves the entire ranch with a more than adequate supply and distribution of fresh and seasonal water for livestock and wildlife.
Broker's Comments: There have been two conservation easements placed on the eastern boundary of the ranch property. The easements are intended to protect against future sub-dividing of the land to ensure a whole ranch for generations to come. Together the easements represent 4,515 acres of land. Details of the easement plans are available for prospective buyers' review.
The Sawmill Ranch is located approximately 100 miles south of Albuquerque, 140 miles north of El Paso, or 25 miles south of Socorro via Interstate 25. The Ranch is accessed via a well-maintained county road to its boundary 11 miles west of Interstate 25, off Exit 124, at San Marcial.
Socorro Municipal Airport serves the area with a 5,841' paved runway at an elevation of 4,875'.
The County was named for the community of Socorro, NM. Socorro County, with 6,626 square miles, ranks third in size among the state's 33 counties. The estimated population in 2004 was 18,177. This was an increase of 0.55% from the 2000 census.
The City of Socorro provides most major services including shopping, banking, dining, hardware, farm and ranch supplies, etc. and is home of New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology.

Don't be fooled into thinking that corporate wear is just restricted to the office, because it's not! Over the years we have witnessed the evolution of corporate clothes and how popular classic pieces such as tailored trousers, blazers, and pantsuits can be easily mixed with casual shapes to create a modern look that has all the sophistication of office-wear, but also incorporates fabulous on-trend aspects.
In order to create these looks – which we are sure you have already been lusting over on the runway – first consider the quality of your classic pieces. Australian brand Godwin Charlihas become highly sought after for both men and women thanks to its superior fabrics and high-quality craftsmanship. The brand specialises in tailored fashion for men and women, and these exceptional garments can also be worn for a smart casual everyday look – and we'll show you how.
Casual Classics Styling
Just because you prefer clothing that is comfortable does not mean that you can't look chic, you just need to learn how to style the look properly. The easiest way to achieve the trendy casual classics look is by pairing casual pieces such as a relaxed knit or a flowy dress with more classic ones, such as a structured blazer, pencil skirt and straight-leg pants.
Opt for a pair of cotton trousers like the Monroe Cotton Stretch Pants in toffee, and match them with a slightly loose-fitting vest and a belted jacket such as the Hilary Wool Shawl Coat– expertly crafted using ultra-soft Italian Wool – because the slim fit of the jacket complements the trousers perfectly.
Alternatively, choose a pair of oversized pants such as culottes and pair them with a more fitted top, like the effortlessly-chic Estelle White Silk Sleeveless Blouse, and you'll have the perfect casual classic outfit to wear to the office or around town. To add a more glamorous touch to this look wear it with a statement necklace and a killer pair of high-heeled shoes.
Monochrome Styling
Monochrome styling is one of the most popular and recurring styles both on the runways and the streets, and one of the reasons why fashion-lovers are so keen on this trend is because it is so versatile and can be worn as office wear, evening wear and day wear.
There are few colour combinations that are as striking, yet easy to wear as the classic monochrome styling: you can wear it either tone on tone or pair it with black and white polka dots, checks and stripes.
If you are looking to wear monochrome styling for workwear then opt for a black pantsuit or a pair of stylish black trousers like the Monroe Trouser Stretch Pants which has been elegantly crafted from the purest Japanese cotton for a fit that is both comfortable, classic and extremely versatile. Wear it with a white silk blouse, a pendant necklace, and a pair of black heels.
If a more feminine look is what you're after then look for a monochrome skirt and top combination. A black pencil skirt is a fit that is flattering and extremely chic, and one piece that does just that is the Adelle Pure Wool Skirt crafted with pure Italian Superfine wool which will enhance your curves.
Remember, monochrome styling also lends itself well to a pop of colour so you can easily add bright, bold statement jewellery to your look.
Sports Luxe Trend
The sports luxe trend is a fashion favorite due to it's versatility, flattering fit, and most importantly the comfort. Unless you've been hiding underneath a rock for the last few months you'll know that this is one trend that you definitely want to invest in.
Some of the sports luxe essentials include sneakers, sweaters, baseball shirts and leather shorts but the key to this trend is really how to incorporate a sports-inspired element – something with clean lines and exposed zips – into your wardrobe. This can be done by wearing loose-fitting tops and tight pants, or vice versa, so as to balance your silhouette. If you want to still rock this trend but you're after a much more polished look, then pair sneakers and statement cuff jewellery with a pair of trousers and a long-line blazer.
Godwin Charli has a range of suits that you could style with a loose-fitting or emblazoned t-shirt, or a mesh shirt and wedge sneakers, and the combination will allow you to look polished while staying on trend. One such suit option is the Cleo Wool Suit. Expertly crafted using pure wool fabric, this stylish suit creates a slim silhouette thanks to its one button jacket, flat-front trousers and peak lapel.
Oriental Shapes Trend
Oriental shapes have proved popular on the runway for the last year and many designers have impressed us with their expert use of floral blooms, high-neck collars, kimono-style jackets, belted waists and oversized obi belts. Japanese style has heavily influenced Western fashion in recent years and has brought us refined and super elegant looks.
This trend has not just been restricted to the runways though, we have also seen the trend trickle down into street style as fashionable women have embraced the cinched waist style and the colourful floral prints – and for good reason. On the streets this trend has transitioned to make it more wearable and far less daunting for everyday looks. One way to subtly introduce oriental shapes into your wardrobe is with a belted jacket.
The Abbey Luxury Pure Wool Coat will not only protect you from the cold, it will also cinch in your waist and the slim-fit style creates a flattering and feminine look. Crafted from ultra-soft Italian Wool this is the perfect oriental shape to add to your winter wardrobe.
If a jacket is not for you, then opt for a floral blossom skirt and pair it with neutral hues or wear high-neck collared designs with a pair of fitted trousers for a look that is both easy to wear but also offers your style some oriental detailing.

Our expert advisers provide independent corporate finance advice to shareholders and companies at every stage of the corporate lifecycle – from acquisitions and capital raising, through to disposals and liquidity events.
Our highly experienced team provides independent corporate finance advice to shareholders and companies at every stage of the corporate lifecycle, from acquisitions and capital-raising through to disposals and liquidity events.
The team also advises clients on their direct investments and will introduce, structure, and monitor direct investments into private companies on their behalf.
We provide corporate finance advice to families and individuals, businesses and entrepreneurs. A key measure of our success is the value we help create for clients and their businesses, rather than the size or number of transactions on which we advise.
This approach has earned us a reputation for offering bespoke, considered and dispassionate advice. Whether you are looking for help with a specific transaction or a business relationship over the longer term.
Many of our clients appreciate our ability to commit to a long-term relationship to build shareholder value through partnership. Others recognise our meticulous approach in the execution of individual transactions.
Similarly, some clients simply require expert guidance, whilst others require their advisers to take more of a principal role in the process.
Our experience of advising families and entrepreneurs on their business and private investment interests has led to the development of our direct investment advisory practice.
We offer a customised origination and advisory service for those of our clients that seek a more focused exposure for their investments, or have more specific sector or geographic requirements, or a longer term investment horizon.
Many of our clients have extensive commercial and business interests and often view their private investing activity as a natural extension of this.
Our wide-ranging experience of working with and advising both corporates and investors leaves us well-placed to advise our clients on their private investing activities.
Thirty years ago the term 'Homme d'Affaires' was well understood, describing a true adviser with real wisdom drawn from deep and broad experience of the world. The trend towards specialisation has caused us to forget the supreme importance of an individual who is able to look at the whole picture and pull together the advice of all the specialists.
Wealthy families are rediscovering the need for such individuals and in an increasingly complex world, they are not always easy to find.
It is not quite clear why the English had to borrow an expression from French to describe the role of a trusted adviser to the wealthy, but until thirty years ago, the term 'Homme d'Affaires' was well understood and in common usage. It is strange that there was no equivalent in the English language the closest being the Italian word Consilieri.
The essence was that such a person was a true adviser with real wisdom drawn from deep and broad experience of the world, including business, investment, families, the law and even philanthropy. The Homme d'Affaires was thus a reliable and impartial sounding board for nearly every major decision his client had to take. This might range from business acquisitions and investment to succession and inheritance, from personal relationships to dealing with awkward situations such as divorces within the family, where the parties involved are directors and shareholders in family businesses.
This does not mean that he would advise on the technical detail of every issue, but he would know enough to apply his experience, wisdom and common sense to ensure the decisions made were not only based on sound technical advice and on a proper understanding of the overall context.
Over the last 30 years, the term Homme d'Affaires has pretty well disappeared from our vocabulary, as the remorseless trend towards specialisation has caused us to overlook the generalist. This generalist is someone who pulls it all together, is able to look across all aspects of a situation and make judgments and recommendations which bring together the advice of all the specialists.
It can indeed be argued that the focus of the specialists has become so narrow that they are less able to appreciate the broader context in which they operate or the relevance of their advice to the overall picture. By their nature, specialists tend to complicate their own fields of activity to the point where they create barriers to entry for newcomers, thus increasing their own market value. This makes it more and more difficult for their advice or their contribution to be evaluated by others.
It is therefore argued that the trend to specialisation has gone far enough. In the words of the late Kenneth Williams specialists "know more and more about less and less and eventually someone will earn their living from knowing everything about nothing!"
This is indeed one of the many lessons of the banking crisis, where the boards of great banking groups have allowed armies of specialists to develop huge areas of business which are far beyond the understanding and control of the board itself. In the past, the boards of banks had some direct understanding and appreciation of ALL the major risks to their business, but this can never be the case again.
To some extent, the same applies to wealthy individuals and families. Their affairs are complex by nature, because they frequently mix the highly sensitive issue of family relationships, succession and inheritance with the ownership of one or more businesses, the management of investment portfolios, property and leisure assets, all overlaid with tax planning and efficient holding structures.
Complexity is increasing as tax authorities become more aggressive and we live in an increasingly regulated and litigious society. The cost of professional advisers is thus rising at a rate which is simply unsustainable. The complexity of risk means all major decisions are inter-related and it is almost impossible to give sensible advice about one part of a client's assets, without considering the knock on impact elsewhere.
In other words, it is now not just desirable, but increasingly essential that all advice on major issues is channelled through someone who really understands the whole picture. Not only is this essential for proper coordination and risk management, it can also help reduce costs as the sophisticated generalist can much better commission, coordinate and evaluate the more detailed advice required from specialists.
Take, for example, the case of a family which owns a substantial family business, where the cash flow has been under pressure and bank finance hard to come by during the recent crisis. Do they sell investments in a bad market to finance the business or are those investments intended precisely as a nest egg for a rainy day when the company ran into trouble? Furthermore, if you use family investments to support the business, how do you protect the interests of family members not involved in the business?
Of course, ideally, the wise man and his advisers will anticipate these problems and have put in place structures and governance designed to achieve the right balance of risk and ensure all family members are treated fairly. The wise man will also have looked at the detailed risk correlations between the family business and the investment portfolio, to ensure that the market risks in the business are not replicated in the portfolio and that the potential liquidity needs in a downturn are fully assessed and anticipated, before committing to long-term equity investments.
There are however many other types of risk. Some are ongoing, such as monitoring the success and direction of the business, the performance and calibre of family directors and keeping an eye on family relationships, looking for potential sources of friction which might turn into major disputes, with catastrophic consequences. Then there are the one off occurrences, such as an acquisition of a new business, perhaps financed by significant debt, or a divorce where the 'in-law' is chief executive of a family company.
Increasingly the management of risk means looking at the interrelationship between all aspects of the family finances and of the family itself – segregating risk into different compartments each overseen by a specialist is no longer enough.
Then there is the matter of 'strategic vision'. Who helps the family decide where it is heading, what the purpose of the wealth is and what their broad objectives are over the next generation. And again, how to pass on the baton from one generation to the next, ensuring that healthy rivalries in the business or other family concerns (such as a philanthropic foundation) do not spill over into family relationships, or vice versa.
The notion of resurrecting the Homme d'Affaires is not entirely new. Very rich businessmen have usually found an individual from among their advisers or employees who steps up to the role. Lower down the market, private banks and wealth managers have for a long time been marketing the concept of a trusted adviser (often using the medical analogy of general practitioner), but they have too often undermined their own promotional literature by fielding relationship managers who lack the experience or gravitas for the trusted adviser role and are clearly trained and motivated as salespeople rather than advisers.
It is one thing to articulate a need and another to meet it. Partly because of the product sales approach of many private banks and wealth managers, there is a massive shortage of people who genuinely merit the Homme d'Affaires title. It is not just a case of re-inventing a role that existed 30 years ago – in a much more complex world, the knowledge and experience requirements to fit this role have expanded dramatically, so they are likely to be outstanding individuals who command a very high price.

Many wealthy individuals, particularly successful entrepreneurs, reach a stage when they might benefit from the services of a family office. Their affairs become so complex and their transactions so numerous that they need an individual or team to keep on top of it all, to handle day to day matters as they arise, conduct necessary research, and brief them on the background when decisions are required.
They may wonder how the service of a family office differs from that of a typical wealth manager? The clue is probably in the name, in that the family office is at least as much focused on the family itself, as it is on the wealth.
The 'family focused' approach recognises that the long-term preservation of wealth, across generations, is far more dependent on the family itself than on professional advisers and that engaging family members in the purpose and process of stewardship is a crucial ingredient of the service.
Equally, just as the family impacts on the wealth, so the wealth has a deep impact on the family and family members. There is little point in creating and handing on wealth if it does not help those who inherit to have fulfilling as well as prosperous lives.
So part of the reason for a family office is to integrate a plan for the management and administration of wealth with a plan for the family succession, which usually includes collective agreement on the purpose of the wealth and key objectives. It also includes family governance, essentially the framework for decision making, leadership and family communication. This is designed to unite the family in common purpose (as regards assets they collectively own), to help reconcile differences of view and minimise the potential for dispute.
In every family there will be some members who are actively interested in and motivated by the opportunity to manage and create wealth and others for whom wealth is simply a means of funding their lifestyle, thus being more inclined to rely on professional advisers. These differing perspectives need to be reconciled, which can have a major bearing on decisions concerning family assets.
The family office role thus demands deep knowledge and understanding of the family, as well as the assets they own and expertise across all aspects of their affairs, sufficient to contribute to high level decisions. For larger 'multi-family' offices, they will also contribute great practical experience drawn from other families going through similar circumstances.
But this is only part of the reason for having a family office.
Apart from the significance of the word 'family', the other word is 'office'.
The need for a private office can simply reflect the number and complexity of tasks to be undertaken and decisions to be made, bearing in mind that many of these decisions cannot be taken in isolation, and require the input of someone with detailed understanding of the broader picture.
Many entrepreneurs have numerous investments and ventures, perhaps held through different holding entities, with complex tax issues and sometimes quite sensitive family considerations. There comes a point when it is almost impossible to carry all the necessary background in your head and the need arises for more disciplined and well-structured processes and record keeping, supported by an individual who understands all the issues.
He or she must be able to identify problems, offer opinions and bring a degree of expertise and experience. In some cases, such an individual can become indispensable, allowing the entrepreneur to focus on his or her core activity, without having to worry continually about the details of their financial and family arrangements. Crucially, such an individual also gives peace of mind to those who are concerned by the prospect of an unexpected event leaving their spouse or children with a complex financial situation, of which they have very limited understanding.
Overlaying this, some aspects of the arrangements may demand significant professional input and the family office procures such input either from within its own professional staff or from an external firm.
It is this combination of managing family arrangements, providing expert administrative support, and bringing high levels of technical expertise and experience, that make the family office highly valuable and very different from a typical wealth manager.
The precise needs of an individual or family vary enormously, depending on circumstances. For example how large or complicated is the family? What is the mix of assets and how are they held, in which countries? What are the capabilities and objectives of family members and how is this likely to change in the future? To what extent are they primarily looking for administrative support and technical advice or do they also want someone who really contributes to major decisions and long-term strategy / succession?
Only after addressing all these issues is a family able to begin considering what sort of family office they require. The most important decision is whether to have their own dedicated family office (single family office) or to find a so called 'multi family office' which operates as a commercial business, serving a number of different families. In some cases a combination of the two may be appropriate.
The functions of a family office are, by definition, many and varied, to meet the needs and preferences of the particular family:
A family office always provides extensive administration and reporting, which may require a sophisticated operating platform, depending on the nature of the family assets and structures.
This can cover numerous trusts and companies, bank accounts, investments, commercial ventures, properties, art collections and leisure assets. In many cases, the structures, the assets and the family are spread across a number of different countries, which adds to the complexity and the need for tax and legal advice to be followed meticulously in every movement of assets.
The family office will usually have responsibility for operating family governance, ensuring a proper framework for making decisions, arranging and facilitating family meetings, and organising family communications, which will include trustees, directors, and professional advisers, as well as family members. This is far more than an administrative task, as it involves proposing and agreeing the agenda, providing relevant information and analysis, obtaining and interpreting professional advice, prior to the meetings, often helping to resolve differences of view.
Nearly all family offices are directly responsible for the management of liquid assets, such as cash and investments, although the day to day running of portfolios is often outsourced to professional managers. The investments may include private equity holdings, both directly held and through funds, so it is common for family offices to have an in house private equity or corporate finance team.
For those who have a family business, the family office will also play a role in helping to manage the relationship between the family and the business and, in particular, ensuring the interests of all family shareholders and beneficiaries are properly considered, when major decisions are taken.
Residential and commercial property have always played a central role for most families and the management of art collections has become an increasingly important function as the value of the art has grown. Many families also own boats, aircraft and other leisure assets.
Recognition of the need to focus more formally on their contribution to society has increased emphasis on philanthropy and impact investing, both of which also play an important role in passing down values from one generation to the next and helping to shape the family culture.
Some families are very active in terms of regular transactions involving commercial ventures, property, art and leisure assets, and their family offices must be equipped to manage these transactions, including appraisals, diligence, structuring and funding.
Overlaying all the above, will be tax planning and coordination of advice, which is an ongoing process, as tax will probably have a bearing on nearly every substantial transaction.
A sophisticated family office will operate a framework for risk management across the spectrum of the family's affairs, including risks arising within the family as well as risks attached to particular assets. In the current environment, there is increasing focus on reputational risk and cyber security.
They will deal with the implications of all routine family events, such as births, marriages and deaths and may play a key role in the event of family disputes, divorces and other problems. This deep and often sensitive involvement in personal issues means they develop and very close understanding of the family itself, which is extremely helpful in their guardianship of the family wealth.
Finally, the family office will normally be involved in all strategic reviews and major decisions and may play a leadership or facilitation role. This will nearly always include developing and implementing plans to pass the legacy to the next and subsequent generations, which is arguably the most important component of long-term wealth management.
The main advantage of the dedicated, single family office is direct control over the staff, who are entirely focused on the affairs of one family, free from the inevitable conflicts of serving other families or pursuing the corporate objectives of a commercial business (including targets etc). It should therefore be hoped that any advice received is unbiased and that the office will be flexible enough to respond to the changing needs of the family at any given time.
Privacy is also a considerable advantage, with sensitive information confined to the minimum possible number of people, all of whom are directly known to and employed by the family itself. Given concerns about data security this is an important factor for some families.
Finally, the single family office is usually not subject to regulation, which is an increasingly cumbersome and expensive burden for commercial providers.
These advantages can be of great importance to a family, but need to be weighed against the fact that depending on size of assets, they may not have the economies of scale of a commercial operation. In addition, there are a number of other attractions of going down the 'multi family office' route, or indeed of finding a compromise between the two.
In theory, the main advantage of the multi family office (MFO) is that it has the economies of scale, and hence can offer a more sophisticated operating platform, much greater diversity of expertise and invaluable practical experience of other families, addressing similar issues.
The complexities of managing wealth in all its forms have increased dramatically over the last decade and require increasing input from specialist advisers. Having extensive expertise 'in house' can thus be much more effective in ensuring the correct advice is always sought and applied. In some cases they can apply the same advice across a number of families, also reducing costs.
For potential clients, the practical experience of other families is among the most attractive features of a multi family office, in that they are usually keen to learn how other families have dealt with similar situations and what lessons have been learnt.
The operating platform is of particular importance for those with diverse assets and holding structures, as it enhances efficiency and enables flexible reporting tailored to particular circumstances.
Finally, a further advantage claimed by MFO's is that they provide a more attractive career for staff seeking the opportunities of a more commercial environment. They are hence better placed to attract and retain staff of the quality required and less dependent on a single individual.
Whilst the above advantages can be claimed in theory, the practice is that most MFO's are quite small boutiques with perhaps only 30 – 50 staff in one or two locations, and a relatively small number of client families. Such 'boutiques' are limited in the expertise they can carry and in their international representation. They hence tend to focus on certain types of families with limited needs, some of them, for example, primarily focusing on the management of liquid assets, rather than the broader wealth of the families they serve.
For international families with a wide variety of assets, held through multiple structures, the future must be for larger, more international MFO's, which can genuinely meet their needs. This means being able to add value across the totality of their affairs, but nearly always working in partnership with other professional advisers.
In general, the wealthier the family, the more likely they will want their own dedicated family office, especially to deal with more personal family issues. However, it is now common for such families also to use a multi family office, for aspects of their affairs which will benefit from greater economies of scale, access to a broader range of expertise, capabilities in a number of geographies and a more sophisticated operating platform.
Deciding on the need for a family office service is typically driven by the realisation that day to day management of the family's affairs is becoming a task which exceeds the capacity of a single individual family leader, without restricting their involvement in other matters (such as running the family business). This often coincides with the wish to begin involving the next generation, which also increases the need for more formal decision making processes and family communication.
The very wealthiest families will nearly always want their own, dedicated family office, but quite frequently combine it with using selected services of a MFO or International Family Office to access its broader range of expertise and operating platform.
For all families, the decision about which type of family office must start with a thorough and frank appraisal of the family's principal needs. They should think very hard before putting in place an expensive bespoke operation, if they can find a multi or international family office which already has the infrastructure, expertise and experience to meet their needs more effectively.

Toyota Wigo is one of the more popular cars in the Philippines, but its latest refresh was back in 2017 – can't say it's in dire need of a facelift, if not a full-on revamp.
Toyota Wigo Philippines Review & Road Test | Hatchback Solution | Philkotse
Thankfully, we get a preview of what the new Wigo is going to look like with the facelifted version launched in the Indonesian market where it is known as the Agya.
First things first – the exterior. Toyota Wigo 2020 gives off a heavily modified look to it especially the bumpers and side skirts.
Little details such as the red trim on the bumper definitely add a fiercer and sporty look. The change in Agya's front fascia affects the overall design of the bumper.
Check out the details on the front bumper
>>> Related: Toyota Wigo 2020 Philippines Review: All the Small Things
The redefined front bumper, well-profiled side skirts, and aggressive rear bumpers all contributed to what a sporty look the Wigo facelift offers.
In terms of wheels, the facelift runs on a fan-styled 14-inch alloy wheels design – almost the same as the Wigo's but the facelift looks more ambitious. After all the new styling for the facelift, the wheel design now fits better with the overall design.
Inside, the dashboard on the facelift version gets a new center stack design. One of the newer features from the facelift is the engine/start button.

The facelift got the upper hand in engine displacement as the Agya offers a 1.2L for the high-end variant while the current Wigo only offers a 1.0L engine displacement.
The Agya engines produce higher horsepower at 87 hp @ 6,000 rpm and higher torque at 108 Nm @ 4200 rpm compared to the Wigo's 66 hp @ 6,000 rpm and 89 Nm @ 4,400 rpm.
Both transmission options are still the same at 4-speed A/T for the high-variant and 5-speed M/T for the basic variant.
Even the interior gets generous updates
One of the concerns fans have is dealing with ruined facelifts. If there is anything the Agya brought, it would be better exterior styling and updated interior features.
After the release of the facelift, it definitely gave people an idea of how a simple and practical car can turn into sporty without overdoing certain modifications.

Rear modification definitely gave Agya a boost in style
Overall, we could agree that his year belongs to the facelift. The Wigo or Agya may have done many modifications but it's not to the point where people think it's too much.

It's 4 p.m. on Friday and your cell phone rings. Jim, the director of operations is on the line. "I know you are about to leave for your vacation, but I just got a report that our inventory system crashed. Manufacturing has a big order they need to ship before Monday. Could you please take a quick look?"
This is bad news. You wanted to wait before pushing out the new network policies— but security operations insisted. Last time you got such a call, you and the guys stayed up all night combing every switch configuration. It was a true nightmare. You hesitate: Should you call your wife and tell her that plans have changed? She is going to be furious, and the kids will be so disappointed. You sigh…
What if you could predict the impact of changes and know they won't break anything? What if you could truly have the confidence your network is operating exactly as you intended it to?
Perhaps it is time to test the new "assurance engine" your team installed last week. Will it save the day as the sales rep promised?
Network Assurance Gap
If you are building or operating data center networks, then you live in exciting, yet challenging, times. Data centers have been going through rapid evolution: growing massively in scale, becoming increasingly sophisticated with cloud adoption, and changing rapidly.
We at Cisco responded to these challenges by offering new intent-based networking platforms. They allow you to manage large-scale infrastructures in highly automated ways. Rather than laboriously configuring network devices using a low-level command-line interface, you can easily program your network at an abstracted level and control it through an intuitive and powerful policy language.
So, life with these modern architectures is easy, giving you extra time at the beach, right? Not quite…
Let's face it: your operational paradigms are still rudimentary, fundamentally reactive in nature. You grapple with operational issues and outages and respond with war rooms and firefighting using basic telemetry, interface statistics, etc. When you have a breach, you scramble to analyze your policies, trying to find the loophole that was just exploited. With only ad hoc verification, your changes often break the network, making rollbacks more the norm than an exception. You struggle to guarantee compliance with regulations, making audit failures a frequent reality.
You are unable to assure intent in your networks proactively, facing what we call the "network assurance gap."
If you could, the questions you would rather ask the network are more fundamental.
If you made changes to the network by modifying some high-level policies, how do you know that you haven't introduced some misconfigurations or errors that will bring down the application in a few hours? Or a few weeks? Maybe the security policy you programmed is conflicting with an existing deny policy you don't know about. Or perhaps you have programmed a new subnet that overlaps with an existing one.
Wouldn't it be nice if you had a system that proactively analyzed your entire policy space, every configuration, to eliminate human errors, avoid policy drift, and give you the confidence that your changes are correct and consistent?
Even if you have done all your programming properly, do not forget that your network is a dynamic, distributed system whose state changes over time. For example, the fabric is learning prefixes from the outside world. What if a routing loop was created in the forwarding tables, or it learned a more specific route from the branch so that traffic meant for an internal app gets diverted outside?
These are but few examples of gaps between "business intent" and the actual dynamic state of the network. The gaps are often hard to find, and even harder to reason about. But it is critical to identify them, because they can expose you to potential outages or vulnerabilities that will severely impact your business.
Wouldn't it be nice if you had a system that continuously analyzed your entire network's dynamic state—the forward state, endpoint configurations, etc.—to ensure it is always consistent with your intent?
While using abstract policies to program your network is the way to go, what happens once you realize your network doesn't quite behave as you intended? How do you troubleshoot your network without knowing its bottom-up view? Where are your VLANs, bridge domains, and endpoints sitting? How is connectivity being established between A and B?
Wouldn't it be nice if you had a tool that reconstructed the bottom-up state of the network and correlated it to the policy, enabling you to troubleshoot issues an order of magnitude faster?
You need network assurance: the confidence that your network is doing exactly what you intended it to do, always.
Network assurance encompasses everything you do in data center network operations: having confidence in your changes and configurations, knowing your routing and forwarding state is consistent, ensuring your security policies meet the segmentation goals and compliance requirements, passing audits easily, and so on.
How do others deal with assurance gaps?
You are not the first to experience these "assurance gaps." Other industries have faced similar challenges before you. The process of assuring that a system behaves in accordance with its specification is generally known as verification—an independent procedure used for checking that a system meets requirements and fulfills its intended purpose.
Sure, one can try to manually test a complex system. But that's an extremely time-consuming and error-prone process, and exhaustive testing of all possible scenarios is nearly impossible. This is where the well-established research field called formal verification comes to the rescue—the use of algorithms that automate the process of exhaustively checking that a system meets its intent. We're not talking about a theoretical application here; automatic verification tools have been put to good use for many years.
Let's take integrated circuits (ICs, or chips), for example. They pack billions of transistors used for implementing a complex system on a tiny piece of silicon. IC engineers must "get the design right" before starting to manufacture chips in large quantities. Chips are designed and built in huge quantities, while reports on errors are very rare. How is the magic done? A slew of verification tools is used throughout the design process, ensuring the logic, the code, and its physical manifestation are correct and will operate as intended.
A similar approach has been adopted in the software world. Software developers used to write code and then spend a great deal of time manually debugging it. Nowadays, developers employ a suite of verification tools, such as static analysis, dynamic analysis, code coverage, memory testing, etc. Thanks to these verification tools, most problems are caught before the code goes into production.
The networking industry has been late to adopt verification techniques. When we push changes into a network, we simply deploy and monitor. And when problems arise, we troubleshoot. We have been relying for too long on manual efforts by smart network engineers.
With the growing complexity of today's network, human ingenuity simply isn't enough. Fortunately, we can apply formal verification techniques to networking. After all, networks are deterministic, and protocols have expected behavior. These facts allow us to mathematically model the network—and automatically verify it.
Cisco Network Assurance Engine: How we assure networks
"Let software manage complex software"
Cisco® Network Assurance Engine brings formal verification techniques into networking, helping close the assurance gap. It mathematically verifies and validates the entire data center network for correctness, giving operators the confidence that their network is always operating consistently with their intent, even as it changes dynamically.
Figure 1 shows the building blocks of Cisco Network Assurance Engine.
● Data-collection framework: The data-collection framework periodically ingests all non-packet data—operator intent and policy and configurations from the controller, software configurations from every switch, and data-plane state from each device—and stores it in a platform-agnostic format.
● Formal modeling core: This is the core technology within Cisco Network Assurance Engine that creates the most real-time "formal models" of the network: mathematically accurate representations of the network's actual behavior based on the real-time state and policy. For instance, Network Assurance Engine models all the security contracts, the forwarding state across all the switches, the configurations of all the endpoints across the network, and so on.
● Continuous analysis engine: Built on a streaming big-data architecture, the analysis engine runs thousands of failure scenarios continuously against these mathematical models of the network. Over 5000 failure scenarios have been codified in the product, based more than 30 years of Cisco's operational domain knowledge. These scenarios are continuously enhanced using the collective knowledge of common failure patterns learned from thousands of customers.
The analysis runs continuously: Every few minutes the tool polls the entire policy and network state, updates the formal model, and runs the checks against it. When a discrepancy is found, the tool generates a "smart event," which pinpoints deviations from intended behavior and provides expert-level remediation suggestions.
Cisco Network Assurance Engine models multiple behavioral aspects of the network, including:
● Tenant endpoint mobility
● Tenant security
● Tenant policy
● Resources utilization
● Tenant forwarding
● And many more
To better understand how the magic is done, let's look at one example: analyzing tenant security.
Cisco Network Assurance Engine reads all the security contracts and the enforcement policies down in hardware. These policies are translated into a "binary-decision diagram" (Figure 2), a highly optimized mathematical representation of these policies.
Using this model, the analysis engine can answer several questions, such as:
● Who can A talk to?
● Can A talk to B based on policy?
● Do I have isolation between tenants?
● Are any policies conflicting with each other?
● Are some policies aliased?
● Did the upgrade to a new version change my existing security policy enforcement?
● Are the configured policies compliant?
● Which specific policy has been violated?
A similar approach is used for all other aspects of the network: collect the data, build the model, and run an exhaustive set of checks against it. Continuously.
Putting Network Assurance Engine to work
To understand how an assurance tool can dramatically improve your network operations, let's look at a few use cases.
Predict the impact of changes: Applying changes to your network has traditionally been a precarious process. You make your changes and then wait to find out if they introduced any errors into the network—which can sometimes be days later. Once errors occur, you drop everything and scramble to find and fix them. Using Cisco Network Assurance Engine, you can quickly verify whether your changes might result in potential errors. The built-in checks are used to analyze the network model, helping you quickly pinpoint errors and fix them—before they disrupt your network.
Root cause analysis: Detecting a problem in the network is but the first step. You need to fully troubleshoot it and understand its root cause before proper corrective action can be taken. This can be a very time-consuming process. Cisco Network Assurance Engine leverages decades of accumulated networking experience. It applies thousands of checks to the network in real time, and when problems are detected, they trigger smart events, which pinpoint the problem and its possible cause, and offer suggested remediation.
Network security policy and compliance: Achieving regulatory compliance and passing security audits is a very laborious process—one that must be repeated periodically. Using Cisco Network Assurance Engine, you can complete the auditing process with just a few clicks. It stores the full network state, so you can easily scroll back in time and ask, for example, "What was the state of my network 3 weeks ago? Did I have any security issues? Were my policies correctly configured?" Cisco Network Assurance Engine run these checks every few minutes, so you actually have continuous compliance checking. There is no more need to scramble every time you have a security audit.
Network resource utilization: One of the challenges network operators face is optimizing the usage of scarce resources. Once such scarce resource is Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM), which is a critical component on many switching platforms. Cisco Network Assurance Engine analyzes how policies are mapped into each TCAM. It provides a detailed multi-dimensional understanding of utilization, identifies policy redundancies, and reports hit counts at a rule-level. This capability allows you to optimize your policies and tighten your security aperture.
The preceding use cases are but few examples of how Cisco Network Assurance Engine can help you fundamentally transform the operations paradigm from reactive to proactive.
What makes Cisco Network Assurance Engine Unique?
Cisco Network Assurance Engine combines advanced verification technology with decades of networking experience. We didn't just "borrow" algorithms from other domains, we added the capabilities required to truly close the network assurance gap. The result is a comprehensive intent-assurance suite that brings to networking the advantages of verification-driven, agile, proactive operations.
Some of the main advantages of the Cisco solution are:
● Codified Cisco domain knowledge: We've leveraged our deep understanding of network platforms, best design practices from Cisco Services and collective knowledge of common failure patterns learned across thousands of customers through Cisco's technical services. Then we incorporated this knowledge into more than 5000 built-in failure scenarios that are continuously run against the network model and proactively made available to all customers.
● Deep controller integration: Integration with the network controller and deep understanding of its policy model enables inclusion of orchestration policies within the mathematical model. We can then actively correlate policies with the dynamic network state, providing the operator with true intent assurance.
● Comprehensive analysis: We capture, analyze, and correlate the entire network state, including switch configurations and data-plane state, at the hardware level. The analysis spans multiple aspects of network behavior: controller policy, security contracts, network-wide forwarding state, virtual machine configurations and mobility, and utilization of hardware resources such as TCAM.
● Unified and indexed network repository: Cisco Network Assurance Engine includes the industry's most complete repository of network-wide state, configurations, policy, and intent data indexed and stored over time. It is made available for rapid recall, search, and ad hoc analysis.
Cisco Network Assurance Engine is part of Cisco's broad vision for intent-based networking. It seamlessly integrates with the Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI™) solution and Cisco Nexus® 9000 Series Switches, making Cisco the only vendor with a complete product suite for intent-based networks. With its open APIs, Cisco Network Assurance Engine easily interfaces with third-party virtual machine managers, and Layer 4–7 ecosystem partners. Furthermore, it can plug right into your alerting frameworks and automation workflows—making it DevOps ready.
Summing it all up
So what does it all add up to? Your data center network is becoming ever more complex, and we are all learning new paradigms to extract full value from these platforms.
Assurance offers a quantum leap in operational maturity for your organization—and the ability to get there much faster.
Cisco Network Assurance Engine can be the major game changer that is needed for your network operations. With continuous verification on your side, it is easier to proactively detect outages, predict change impact, and assure network security policies and compliance. Cisco Network Assurance Engine boosts confidence in your network operation, letting you spend more time on design and optimization instead of reactive troubleshooting. It lends you peace of mind: You can use orchestrators and policies to manage your network, and stop worrying about assurance gaps.
It's 5 p.m. on Friday. With the help of Cisco Network Assurance Engine, you managed to quickly pinpoint the problem and fix it. Among the dozens of new security policies were two that conflicted, blocking access to the inventory database server. The latest verification report gave the network a clean bill of health, so you get into your car and head home. On the way, your phone rings. It is Jim on the line: "I just heard from the inventory guys—I'm not sure how you pulled off this magic, but you know what? Enjoy your vacation!" You smile and drive home. This was indeed magic, now it's a whole new way of doing things.

Based on the Troll dolls created by Thomas Dam, DreamWorks Animation released a musical romantic comedy adventure movie last year, Trolls which has been directed by Mike Mitchell and co-directed by Walt Dohrn. The characters in this movie were small in size and what was unique about them was their weird colourful hair. Alejandro Garcia who is a professor at San Jose State University, enlightened the attendees present at GAFX 2017 about how did they go about applying physics and recreating this small magical work. It's all about 'physics of scale' in DWA's Trolls!
In Trolls, the characters being small creatures, it was important to understand how do animals of this size have body structures. Bone strength scales as area whereas weight scales as volume. As animals become larger, the weight of animals increases faster than that size of bones. Big animals have big thick bones. The posture of an animal is a physical cue for size. Large animals need to be more straighter so as to minimise the strain on bones due to the weight. That's why small animals crouch and slouch. However, if trolls would have crouched, it would have lacked the appeal. So the director took the call of not applying the physics here and make the trolls stand straight.
Next Garcia spoke about how trolls would interact with any liquid substance. For that he took reference of 'The Secret World of Arrietty' where large surface tension and stiction forces indicated the scale of the tiny Borrowers. The property of water was applied in the world of trolls. Over here liquids do not flow easily and tend to clump into droplets. Hence, trolls need to drink by lapping, just like cats, rather than pouring liquids in their mouth. And for the same reason, they cannot swim. There was only one shot in the movie where troll interacted with water which according to Garcia was a good decision as it didn't look good when compared to the soft fabric look of the movie.
There's a scene in the movie where Branch throws Poppy's guitar in fire and it burns within seconds. Due to the small size of the object in trolls world, fire burns quickly. So, if a match burns for 30 seconds in human world, in trolls world it will burnout in 2 seconds.
Coming to calculating the falling speed of trolls. While calculating the maximum falling speed, it is important to remember that weight goes as volume but force of air resistance goes as (area)x(speed)². So when trolls fall from great height that's seven to eight miles an hour and that's why they don't get injured.
Now, comes the sound. Loudness is proportional to physical volume. Smaller you are, lower volume you have. As for the pitch – larger beings have deeper voice and smaller have squeaky voice. Trolls voice is 35 decibels lower than humans and 4 octaves higher. Though Smidge is the smallest troll, he has the deepest voice. Rule was broken in the movie for this character.
When it comes to acting, small creatures need to act like how small creatures act. Muscle strength also depends on area, just like bones. Muscle force scales as area while body weight scales as volume. Hence, trolls are strong for their size and can throw each other around.
Since, muscle strength depends on area, all mammals can jump on the same height. Trolls can jump about as high as humans. Trolls can jump 4 times more than their body size.
Talking about the eating habits, small creatures eat a lot more. This is rule of physics which can be seen in movie when Poppy eats in one bite like a snack. Trolls are also big drinkers.
As the presentation came to an end, an important element which was yet to be talked upon was finally brought up – Hair! In the movie, hair has acted as an important part of the creatures. Garcia explained that as creatures become smaller and smaller, hair becomes straighter and straighter. Elastic force is very strong in small scales.
Kichhoff theory was applied on the hair. Straight hair has two basic shapes, erect or flaccid, depending on its relative stiffness (elasticity/weight). So, relative stiffness decreases when:
- Hair grows longer
- Density increases (eg: hair is wet)
- Elasticity decreases (eg: wet hair and some hair products)
Only at the end of the movie, the weight of the hair isn't their. Hair of the troll is often physically realistic. But in some shots it's wacky.
Garcia concluded by stating, "Physics provides ideas and guidance, not rules. We has even gone onto calculate how trolls are going to pee which obviously didn't have to be used in the movie. Only rule you should follow is: always do what is best for the story. If the audience is accepting what you are doing, then do it. Just don't do it accidentally otherwise audience will think the animator didn't know what he was doing."

The hot stove of dryer usually has fluidized bed stove, mechanical hot stove and extinguishing stove of artificial feeding. The following dryer manufacturers will inform you of the advantages and disadvantages by comparison:
1. Fluidized Bed Furnace
The fluidized bed furnace produces stable hot air flow temperature, and the coal content in the slag is very low. It can also be used in other industries. Small maintenance is a new energy-saving technology. But the amount of one-time investment is comparatively large.
2. Mechanical Hot Blast Furnace
The high thermal efficiency of the mechanical hot blast stove is a big advantage, which improves the drying efficiency of the slime dryer in some aspects. However, the mechanical hot blast stove has a higher requirement for coal quality and needs fine coal ash, so it consumes a large amount of electricity. In addition, mechanical hot blast stove can not stop desulfurization operation, aggravating environmental pollution is contrary to the national environmental protection policy, and has rarely been used.
3. Manual Feeding Extinguishing Furnace
Manual feeding extinguishing furnace from feeding, cleaning, heat flow temperature up and down control are completed by manual operation, labor, temperature is not suitable to control, heating effect is not ideal is its shortcomings, advantages are low investment, cost saving, simple maintenance.
Pipeline of hot blast stove is very critical. It has extremely important influence on heat transfer. Especially for pipes like hot blast short pipes, if some damages occur, the efficiency of mechanical equipment and the safety around it will have a certain impact. Therefore, it must be ensured that its operation is normal.
Of course, hot-blast stove pipes are not easy to make mistakes, just need to stop checking its status regularly. If abnormal conditions are found, it is necessary to stop repairing and changing in time. At the same time, our company is a manufacturer specially designed and built hot-blast stoves, if you need hot-blast stoves. If you ask for it, please send off and contact our hot stove consumer to stop further understanding: http://www.zhongyanjixie.com, you can click on the phone on the website for direct consultation!
