Sir William Dillon's Narrative of Professional Adventures, 1790-1839, Volume II, 1802-1839
Vol 97 (1956), Professor M. Lewis
Sir William Henry Dillon (1780-1857) was born in Birmingham, the illegitimate son of the distinguished writer and traveller John Talbot Dillon (1734-1806), a baron of the Holy Roman Empire. The elder Dillon had briefly served in the Royal Navy, apparently obtaining his discharge in a fit of pique after being ejected, when a midshipman, from the Parade Coffee House in Portsmouth, a hostelry reserved for captains.
Sir William's long, enjoyable, and informative memoirs, edited by Professor Michael A Lewis, one of the doyens of naval historians, are arguably the best by any naval officer of the period, and for anyone seeking an intimate glimpse into the workings of the Georgian navy and the professional concerns and vexations of its officer corps they are essential reading. The narrative, never dull, is enhanced by the editor's erudite and, where appropriate, witty commentaries, by the sense we derive of the author's personal foibles and by his numerous exasperated references to 'Mrs V' (Matilda Voller), a middle-aged widow who ensnared Dillon into marriage when he was a young lieutenant recently returned from incarceration in France.
Other illuminative Georgian memoirs in the NRS series of publications are those of Admiral Sir Thomas Byam Martin (vols 12, 19, 24), Captain John Harvey Boteler (vol 82), and Commander James Anthony Gardner (vol 31), Gardner's being, like Dillon's, especially vivid.
In 1803, when a senior lieutenant carrying a flag of truce to the Dutch, he was arrested, handed over to the French, and held captive until 1807. On his release he was given command of the decrepit old sloop Childers, with sixty-five men and carrying only fourteen 12-pounder carronades. On 14 March 1808, off the Norwegian coast, she defeated, after a lengthy action, a Danish brig of twenty guns and a crew of 160. A fortnight later Dillon, honoured with a valuable presentation sword by the Patriotic Fund at Lloyd's, was posted captain: his delight and relief as he read over and over again the letter informing him that he had finally achieved that key step in any Georgian sea officer's career provides memorable reading. Subsequently, as a post-captain, he served at Walcheren, and in varied locations, including Newfoundland and the Far East.
From 1835 (the year he was knighted as KCH) until 1838 he commanded the 74-gun Russell in the Mediterranean. He became equerry to the Duke of Sussex, and attained flag rank in 1846, dying in Monte Carlo in 1857 as a vice-admiral of the red.

Review: The Jinx 'The Gangster's Daughter'
By Clarence Moye	@chmoye	 Feb 23, 2015
Just as last week's episode of the HBO docu-series The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst closed with the investigation into the disappearance of Kathie Durst becoming a cold case bound for the archives, this week's episode – "The Gangster's Daughter" – opens with a revisiting of the case 20 years later. What caused this? A tip from a prison stooge who claimed to have information on the death of Kathie Durst.
The news caused renewed hope in Kathie's friends and family, and investigators, acting on new information, began to explore the former Durst lake house. They uncovered a storage room hidden in a closet behind some shelves. It's rather shocking that, given Kathie's mysterious disappearance, no one thought to search her last known whereabouts. After searching the house, removing entire sections of a bedroom wall, and sending diver's to search the lake, investigators came up empty-handed.
Further exploration led investigators to Susan Berman, a close college friend of Robert Durst who allegedly protected him from the press after Kathie's disappearance. Berman, the daughter of an infamous West Coast gangster, had a lot in common with Durst, including the loss of their mothers to questionable circumstances. Although it was never confirmed, numerous reports indicated that Berman believed her mother death, officially labeled a suicide, was perhaps the result of foul play. Berman felt an incredibly tight kinship with Durst and was allegedly attracted to the sense of wealth and power he radiated, according to close friends, and she became his spokesperson during the days following Kathie's disappearance.
The most interesting hypothesis forwarded in the episode is the theory that Berman was the one – not the police – to feed reporters the line that Kathie Durst was seen that evening by her doorman as she was entering her building. The documentary casts doubt as to whether or not Kathie was actually seen that last evening or if she'd even called in sick to medical school the following day. Many believe it was Susan Berman, not Kathie Durst, who placed that call.
So what happened to Kathie Durst? Unfortunately, there is no evidence that she is dead or that Robert Durst had anything to do with it. When interviewed by Jarecki, Durst blinks and stutters his way around an answer – he doesn't know that she's dead. He doesn't know where she is. He suspects she may be dead. There's a bit about collect calls placed from New Jersey to the Durst company, and Jarecki tries to pin Durst down on who made these calls (Durst was famous for making collect calls because he was too cheap to pay for the calls himself). If these calls were placed by Durst in New Jersey, then it would pinpoint a potential location for Kathie's body – if Durst killed her at all.
So, twenty years later, how does Susan Berman continue to feature in all of this? The Los Angeles police department reaches out to her to question her about Kathie's disappearance. She relays this information to Durst over the phone, commiserating with him over his seemingly endless persecution. A few short weeks later on December 24, 2000, Susan Berman was murdered in her Los Angeles home, shot in the head.
Jarecki includes crime scene photos (very little of the body) to prove the untouched nature of her home, leading police to believe Berman knew her killer. As news of Berman's death reaches the East Coast, those who were investigating Kathie's disappearance immediately thought of Robert Durst. The timing was incredibly convenient as she was about to be questioned in the case. Jarecki again tries to probe Robert Durst for additional information, cracks in the blank slate that is his face, but he gets nowhere. Los Angeles investigators consider Berman's family involvement with the mob as the cause of her death – she was working on journalism and television projects involving the history of the mob and reportedly had a huge story to break. Had she lived, of course.
The problem with the mob involvement angle is this: a letter was mailed to Beverly Hills police the day before her body was found. Clearly, the murderer wanted her body found before decomposition occurred. Was this murder the action of someone who ultimately cared for her?
Jarecki then takes a seemingly odd turn in his exploration of the case. He is a gifted filmmaker, drawing the audience toward conclusions he clearly holds dear. He begins to explore Susan Berman's financial state. She was in debt and behind several months on her mortgage. She had written several screenplays, but Hollywood wouldn't bite. Out of "desperation" (according to friends), she began asking for money from acquaintances and kept a log of the transactions on her personal computer. Who do you think appeared on the list? Yup, Robert Durst who had provided Berman several tens of thousands of dollars. The immediate suspicion is that Berman attempted to blackmail Durst for a larger sum of money before submitting herself to questioning by the LAPD.
Around the time of the funeral, Durst was in Los Angeles and made contact with several of Berman's friends. The subtext here is that perhaps Durst learned from his mistakes with Kathie whose friends rallied against him and drove suspicion in his direction. The next development in the case is Durst's arrest for the series-beginning death and dismemberment in Galveston, Texas. The trail of death following Durst now totaled the suspicious disappearance of Kathie Durst, a suspected connection to the murder of Susan Berman, and the murder of a neighbor in Galveston.
And what does Durst do? He shaves his head and eyebrows and goes on the run, famously apprehended after attempting to shoplift a $6 chicken sandwich.
This engaging episode theoretically completes the exploration into the various murders in which Durst was allegedly involved. Jarecki covers a great deal of information yet always seems to draw logical and clear parallels. Documentary filmmakers often dance between relating the facts and letting their own opinions shape the output. It's unavoidable. It's human nature. In my opinion, the subtext through the episode is that Jarecki believes Durst was heavily involved in Susan Berman's death. The lines are drawn, and the connections are there.
It's less clear, though, than the evidence around the Galveston murder that opens the show. What's driving me nuts is how can this man still be walking around after so much evidence exists against him?
Guess I'll have to tune in next week to find out.

I'm a week or so away from my 35th birthday and I can confidently say that the Dhamma (dharma) has been a big part of my life for the better part of the past 20 years, arguably even the whole of it. My family's not Buddhist, and I didn't have any Buddhist influences growing up, but I was always questioning, investigating, wanting to understand the ways of the mind and heart. Even though I was lucky enough to come across my first book on meditation at 14, and my first formal instruction at 18, it honestly wasn't until just before my 31st birthday that things started to click. And it wasn't until another couple of years passed that I truly learned how to meditate—meditate as a way of life.

Rule Developing Experimentation: A Systematic Approach to Understand & Engineer the Consumer Mind
Editors: Alex Gofman (Deceased), Howard R. Moskowitz
Special Offer (PDF + Printed Copy): US $178
Consumers have been increasingly involved in the innovation process in the last few decades, a major driving force of business success. This involvement is critically important for innovation, particularly in product development.
However, consumers frequently cannot articulate exactly what they need, want, or like if they are asked directly. It is very difficult for consumers to articulate their needs and desires. Therefore, researchers have to use other means to understand their motivations. There are many arguments suggesting that focus groups cannot create a reliable direction for new product development (NPD) or message optimization. A solution for this problem lies in a systematic, structured and disciplined experimentation with consumers - presenting them with a set of experimentally-designed products or concepts and soliciting their preferences. It is much easier for consumers to choose a preferred option from a set of concepts. New technologies make it easier than ever to conduct complex experiments quickly and inexpensively. The expanded use of experimentation provides an opportunity to take innovation to a new level.
Rule Developing Experimentation (RDE) is an increasingly popular, structured, consumer-based experimentation methodology. RDE works with prototypes, either physical prototypes, prototypes created out of language (concepts), or prototypes created out of visual stimuli (design and packaging). In business, RDE is used both to understand existing products, product categories and packages, as well as to create next generation offerings in the process of new product development (NPD).
Rule Developing Experimentation: A Systematic Approach to Understand & Engineer the Consumer Mind explains RDE concepts, beginning from its origins, to novel consumer research techniques and covers applications relevant to a real market context. Readers are also introduced to the concept of Mind Genomics® - a more holistic approach to gaining insight into the consumer mind.

Mind Genomics®, Rule Developing Experimentation (RDE) and a New Science of the Everyday
In 1981, just three decades ago, editor HRM began a series of experiments to identify what 'messages' for toothpaste might persuade customers of Colgate toothpaste to remain with the brand, and which might entice prospective customers currently buying the competitor toothpastes to 'switch to Colgate. This rather simple question and the ensuing experiment, run in Canada at the behest of the late Court Shepard, General Manager of Colgate Canada, would turn out to be the basis of a science. It's hard to think of a science built on commercial products, dealing with the issues of everyday life. But this volume is testament to that science.
Our ingoing assumption at that time was that the consumer may not know what he wants, but he will know it when he sees it. We had another assumption, just as important, but we did not realize it then. That assumption was that by giving a person a compound test stimulus, we would increase the chances of identifying what elements were working. That is, it wasn't a case of learn by 'isolating,' but rather learn by creating naturalistic mixtures of ideas, testing these combinations with consumers, and then deconstructing the reactions to these combinations into the contributions of the components.
For the first 30 years afterwards, from 1981 to 2011, we hummed along, doing these experiments, working for clients, answering business problems ranging from toothpaste to prescription drugs, from services in a bank to public policy about emergencies. Those were, formative years, filled with learning, insight, and of course excitement. The test methods now developed, we applied the new approach to various problems, including dividing people by the pattern of their responses to test stimuli, and more profoundly by the pattern of their utility values, the 'driving powers' of the individual elements. In all that work, the emphasis was on applying the method as a consumer-research technique to business issues.
Enter a Grander Vision – A Science of Everyday Life
Perhaps it's one of the unwritten rules of science; work at a problem long enough, and soon the problem moves from something momentary to be solved to a source of wonderment about how the world works. We had this experience with the research approach of this book, RDE, Rule Developing Experimentation. Yes, we had begun with the trite problem of communicating what to say to make consumers buy more toothpaste. What could be more prosaic; almost a throwback to the 1950's. Yet along the way something happened. The problem of discovering compelling messages grew to something else, to a deeper measurement of what motivates people to respond.
And so the science of RDE began. It had started with the trite, the simple, the everyday. But then, almost subtly, and after two decades, a shift occurred in the nature of the way RDE made itself useful. Over time the focus moved from finding the specific answer, the one or two messages, to themes, to general patterns of ideas that excited consumers. The year 2001 was a seminal year; often seems to us that around that time we realized that projects using RDE were as focused on understanding people in their everyday lives as they were in solving a business problem. For instance, studies on what to communicate to the California citizen about energy costs, a practical problem posed by a utility, turned out to be a study of the mind of the citizen with respect to energy issues. Simple fascination with the results, with the patterns emerging from nature, blurred the boundary between problem and solution, or between person and structure of beliefs. Reading the data tables turned out to be a detective story, ferreting out how people thought. Only secondary was the importance of the actual problem, the reason for the study in the first place.
As this subtle shift continued, we realized that this new approach was creating a science of the ordinary, the everyday life, step-by-step, almost insensibly building a structure of how we go about evaluating alternatives. We were aware of similar ideas in the marketing literature, of so-called tradeoff-studies, where the goal was to understand what the consumer felt to be important. However, we were heading in a different direction, creating an archival science of the ordinary, a science whose data could be housed in tables and books, and pulled down from the shelf at any time to get a better idea of how people think and what people value.
What is the Essence of this New Science
As we rushed headlong into experiments, studying all sorts of topics, from foods to utilities, from public policy to technology and technical services, we found ourselves facing the same question, again and again, asked by those who hired us to solve the problems, by colleagues who were interested in new 'techniques,' and most intriguingly by students at different universities where we lectured. The question simply was 'what is this thing called RDE, rule developing experimentation?'
We editors, who had been schooled in classic science, were not accustomed to questions as profound as 'what is this new science?' We were more accustomed to providing solutions as professional consultants and consumer researchers. Yet, when we gave our lectures at the universities, we could see the gleam in the eye of the students, who, perhaps even more than we, intuited that this RDE 'thing' was something bigger. Students, by the way, are the most critical; being so young they are often not particularly diffident, having no trouble asking the hard questions, and expecting honest answers.
So what is the essence of this new science? What is Mind Genomics®? Quite simply, it is the study of how people react to the world of their everyday. The goal of Mind Genomics® is to create a database of the ordinary, to dissect specific experiences (e.g., buying toothpaste) into components, identify the different acts and messages, and then determine which of the components, acts, messages, drive consumer response, and which are irrelevant. At the end of the day, the vision is to open a book for any experience, show the experience dissected, show what's important and what's irrelevant, and finally identify different mind-sets, people who look at the same experience in different ways.
Reactions to this New Science
When we began publishing the results of our studies in the archival scientific literature, we found a number of reactions, many quizzical, some downright negative, all enlightening. Most of the research that we had grown up with over the past decades dealt with the 'grand questions' about some aspect of how the world worked. The typical scientific paper would begin with a hypothesis, a speculation about the relation between variables, a speculation typically grounded in the knowledge and scientific contribution of previous researchers. The research should be organized in a way to prove or disprove the hypothesis. The statistics came in one general flavor, inferential statistics, statistics to confirm or disconfirm sameness or difference between two observations: Did the observed data differ from what was expected, and at what confidence level?
Mind Genomics® and its tool, RDE, came to the scientific world with a different world view. Rather than hypothesizing how the world 'might work,' Mind Genomics® offered the organizing principle that it was here to 'map the dimensions of experience.' There was no need to offer a hypothesis, and spend the experiment proving or disproving that hypothesis. It was sufficient to identify a topic area, e.g., energy policy, map out the different ideas in this topic area through phrases, and then determine which of the different ideas appealed to consumer respondents versus which turned them off. The result was a description of a small corner of the consumer mind. Mind Genomics® mapped that corner, identifying how ideas worked in the consumer's head.
It took quite a while to realize that the reactions to Mind Genomics® by other scientists were those of academics/researchers reared in the world of hypothetico-deduction to the notions and ideas offered by inductive research. We ended up realizing that Mind Genomics® was essentially organized induction; we would map out a corner of daily experience with ideas, learn 'what worked, what did not,' and then make more sweeping statements about how people react to the specific topic area. Even our segmentation of mind-sets into different groups was purely empirical and inductive; we identified people who showed different patterns of what was important, and from that information we speculated about the distribution of different 'mind-sets' in the population. All in all, inductive science, mapping new worlds, seeing what was out there in this exciting world of the everyday.
Inside the Scientist's Mind(s)
Developing Mind Genomics® has taken 30 years, a half a lifetime, three decades of experiences. In light of the nature of this book, a compendium of applications from many colleagues who have graciously said yes, we thought that it would be a good idea to share one's feelings about this journey. We're not talking about the science or the technology, nor are we talking about the applications or the future. We leave that to our contributors. Rather, we're talking about the inside of the mind of the scientist, how it feels to be on this journey, what it means from a personal point of view, the 'soft stuff' of science that's often forgotten in the rush to publish. So here are some of the feelings from the 'inside,' where it's happening.
The first feeling is slight astonishment that one could actually be part of something like Mind Genomics® . Most of us who do science or technology, whether basic or applied, grow up with the idea that we are going to 'add' to a corpus of knowledge, that we are going to be part of a community of scientists, doing normative research, identifying promising areas, adding to the literature, but doing so in a less than dramatic manner. We may dream of winning prizes, the Nobel, for instance, but we realize that that's probably a pipe dream. Coming face to face with the implications of Mind Genomics® , is in the colloquial expression, 'something else, entirely.' We recognize that this new science, flawed but promising, given birth with so much excitement but also trepidation, may be something important. That feeling alone is what astonishes us, and continues to astonish as we make new discoveries.
The second feeling is curiosity. Just what world have we opened up? We don't know. Each new study is an adventure. The sheer simplicity, ease, speed of doing RDE studies and adding to the corpus of this new science makes us want to explore. Every topic we read about, from digital piracy to food safety, from stock market investments to creating new political parties, ends up being the inspiration for a new study. The goal was to find out – just how does that part of reality 'work?' And, that the curiosity, the inner energy of the scientist.
The third feeling is gratitude, an inner joy that comes from knowing that one has contributed something, perhaps of great value, to the generations to come. We all want to leave something of ourselves to the world, to those who we may never see, but who will carry on after us. Mind Genomics® , the science, and RDE, the tool, is our contribution to the next generations. We don't know where the science will take us; prophecy isn't one of our gifts. But, we do know that we are giving those who follow some new tools that will move science and the world forward. And what could be more delightful than having our colleagues, the authors of chapters in this book, join us in giving to the next generation. For all that we are grateful.
As we close this foreword, we'd like to take a moment to thank some of the people who helped us along the way. No work of science, especially one that takes 30+ years to develop and ripen, happens in isolation. There have been many, starting with the late Court Shepard who had faith in us, moving to the many computer programmers who worked with us on the algorithms, and on to the staff of researchers at Moskowitz Jacobs, Inc. in Westchester County, New York, who struggled with the science, applying it to client problems, and in so doing improving it ever so much, continually, and with good spirit.
Our thanks go to our colleagues who accepted our invitation to write chapters. We are grateful to them; they bring so many different, new perspectives that we feel them to be co-inventing this science with us. Each colleague's point of view sharpens the message, moves our thinking forward, and moves the science into new realms.
Finally, no work comes about without those who support it, day and day out. We'd like to thank our editorial coordinator, Linda Ettinger Lieberman, for her years of work, pulling the book together, making sure that all the details were taken care of, and essentially freeing us to do science while she made sure that we 'delivered the goods.' Thank you Linda, for this effort, and just as much for all the other efforts you have made on behalf of Mind Genomics® and RDE. Your efforts have truly helped move this science forward.

Q: latex, list of figures, adding text to the top I have a long list of figures that spans two pages. My school's editor wants me to include 'figure   page' at the top of the new page.
As far as I can tell, the below code is what pulls my list of figures, descriptions and page numbers and lists them out.
  \def\listoffigures{\chapter*{List of Figures}
 {\setlength{\parskip}{12\p@}
 \@starttoc{lof}
}
 \addtocontents{lof}{\noindent Figure\hfill Page\par}
 }
\renewcommand*\l@table{\@dottedtocline{1}{0em}{2.3em}}

What I would like to have happen is, after figure 18 is displayed, I want latex to include the new page header. Something like this:
psuedo code:
if figure_number = 18
%do this code
{\noindent Figure\hfill Page\par}

In my list of figures, figure number 18 is the one at the top of the second page.
Thank you.

A: Try this.
% lofpsprob.tex  SE 641301
\documentclass{book}

%%% using basic LaTeX to define a lof pagestyle (could use fancyhdr instead)
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\ps@lof}{%
  \renewcommand{\@oddhead}{\noindent Figure \hfill Page\par}
  \let\@evenhead\@oddhead
  \renewcommand{\@evenfoot}{%
    \hfil\normalfont\textrm{\thepage}\hfil}%
  \let\@oddfoot\@evenfoot
}
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\pagestyle{lof} % use the lof pagestyle for the second and later LoF pages
\listoffigures
\addtocontents{lof}{\noindent Figure \hfill Page\par} % put this after the LoF title

\chapter{First}
\pagestyle{headings} % revert from lof pagestyle

\begin{figure} \centering FIG \caption{Fig} \end{figure}
\addtocontents{lof}{\vspace*{5.25in}} % extend LoF to 2nd page

\begin{figure} \centering GRAPHIC \caption{Graphic} \end{figure}

\begin{figure} \centering CHART \caption{Chart} \end{figure}

\end{document}

The above produces the second page of the LoF how I think you have asked for it.

A: I think I got it.
Note, for me, I wanted the 'figure     page' to appear at the top of the second page. This occurs for figure page number 32 (so when macro input #2 = 32).
Use the below:
    \renewcommand*\l@figure[2]{
  \ifnum \c@tocdepth >\z@
    \addpenalty{-\@highpenalty}%
    \setlength\@tempdima{2.5em}
    \begingroup

  \ifstrequal{#2}{32}{

      \parindent \z@ \rightskip \@pnumwidth

Q: Parallel mapply() for Windows; like mcmapply() I am wondering if there is a version of mapply() that works in parallel for Windows. The parallel package has great options for parallelizing apply functions, but it seems to leave out a Windows option for mapply(). The parallel package has mcapply functions for non-Windows users (ie mcapply(), mclapply(), mcmapply(), etc), and parApply functions for Windows users (ie parApply(), parLapply(), etc.). There is no parLapply(), though.
Is there an equivalent to mcmapply() for Windows?
Here are two lists:
list1 <- list(elem1 = 1:3, elem2 = 4:6, elem3 = 7:9)
list2 <- list(elem1 = 10:12, elem2 = 13:15, elem3 = 15:17)

I want to add them together;
(result <- mapply(FUN = function(x, y){
  x + y
}, list1, list2, SIMPLIFY = FALSE))

How can I recreate this in parallel for Windows users?
Note: parApply functions are not drop-in replacements like mcapply functions. See the link for good documentation on how to use them.
https://dept.stat.lsa.umich.edu/~jerrick/courses/stat701/notes/parallel.html

A: (disclaimer: I'm the authur)
The future.apply package provides one-to-one parallel versions of all of R's apply functions.  Since it operates on top of the future framework, it works with basically all known parallel backends in R.
library(future.apply)
plan(multicore)  ## forked processing

list1 <- list(elem1 = 1:3, elem2 = 4:6, elem3 = 7:9)
list2 <- list(elem1 = 10:12, elem2 = 13:15, elem3 = 15:17)

(result <- future_mapply(FUN = function(x, y){
  x + y
}, list1, list2, SIMPLIFY = FALSE))

The above uses forked processing, just like parallel::mcmapply().  To use PSOCK cluster workers, which is also supported on MS Windows, have the end-user set:
plan(multisession)

With the above, you don't have to do conditional coding like:
if (parallel == "forks") {
  ...
} else if (parallel == "this") {
  ...
} else if (parallel == "that") {
  ...
} else {
  ...
}

All you need is a single future_mapply() call.


Giza (ギザ) - 3rd Single "歪んだ救世主 ( yuganda kyuuseishu)" Release | VKH Press – J-Rock & Visual Kei Coverage Worldwide!
Giza (ギザ) will be releasing their 3rd single "歪んだ救世主 ( yuganda kyuuseishu)" on March 15th in two types. Type A will contain CD (2 tracks) +DVD featuring the MV for "歪んだ救世主 ( yuganda kyuuseishu)". Type B will be CD only with 3 tracks.


As the entire broadcast industry expects 2017-18 to be a good financial year after last year's impact on business due to demonetisation and looks forward to a positive outcome from the GST rollout, BestMediaInfo.com caught up with Nayak on the sidelines of the Khatron Ke Khiladi press event, where he spoke about the industry, various issues impacting the industry and praised his team for the excellent content they are churning out.
Nayak, who was recently made the Chief Operating Officer of Viacom18, chose not to speak about the new role. Well, it's actually been only 24 hours and in time, he has promised to open up about the strategies, plans and his views on the same.
How much time will Colors get in the huge portfolio that you are now going to handle?
Colors is the flagship channel of Viacom18 and is a large contributor to the company's topline and bottom line. It will always continue to have my personal attention.
You have recently launched India Banega Manch (IBM), which looks quite similar to India's Got Talent (IGT).
They are very different. You can't have a truck on IGT, here at (IBM) you have that. There are no judges in IBM. It's a new technology, but talent is talent.
The channel has so many international franchises and almost all of them have worked for you. How do you pick and choose the best?
All credit goes to Manisha Sharma (Head of Programming) and her team. I am just a catalyst.
We have seen that the channel is running promos for the afternoon band. Star Plus recently launched the afternoon band. Are there similar plans?
We won't be launching any new shows in the afternoon band. Colors is No. 1 in prime time, but we have not been able to crack the afternoon band for some reason. So, we are promoting the fact that we have all the shows in the afternoon too.
The afternoon band has viewership and we don't want to miss them. In fact after the promotions, we have seen increased traction on afternoon.
Is this traction not enough for original programing?
The return on investment (RoI) isn't justified at the moment. I commend Star (India). I admire them because they have taken that risk. They have put up some expensive good quality shows in the afternoon. As leaders, we have to play this role. We brought 24 and other shows like India Banega Manch, taking leadership positions. Star, too, has taken a leadership position here and it is a good thing. If it works, it will benefit everybody. It will open the slot for everyone.
Star anyway has more number of hours (of original programming) than us. Their evening prime time starts at 5 pm, and ours start at 6.30 pm. Our current priority is to extend those bands first. Once we address those bands, then we will think about afternoon.
But wouldn't Star have already widened the gap by then through afternoon.
That is to be seen. It's a question of investments. If at some point we feel that we need to invest and the management approves, we might also do it. We would like to be No. 1 but not at the cost of profitability. I would rather be a profitable No. 2. If it is a choice between being profitable and being on top, then I would rather be profitable.
Advertising for rural market is catching up after BARC started reporting rural data. However, the rates are still lower than what one was expecting. When do we see a correction here?
Logically, I think, BARC should release only separate rural and urban data sets. Releasing it together is unfair. Rural and urban are completely different markets. In most cases rural (mostly free to air) is all repeat content.
Advertisers also say that 'you have already spent this money on content. You are not going to spend it again.' It is little bit of challenge, but some way, market has a way of correcting itself at some point in many ways. The media landscape is quite challenging.
Are FTAs bought because they are cheaper and the correction will only hurt them?
I don't think FTAs are bought for that reason. I think collectively, if all broadcasters push the pricing up, the advertisers will still buy it.
How far have we moved forward on cost per thousand (CPT) buying?
At least, we (at Colors) don't do any cost per rating point (CPRP) deals. People might be back-calculating while planning, but we don't give any guaranteed CPRP deals.
As an industry, I think BARC should only give out the CPT data. Why are they still releasing GRPs? Why two currencies? Internationally, all advertisers, agencies work on CPT. Also, they all work on household viewership data. That is much more accurate since most homes are single TV homes in the country. But if industry has come to this conclusion that we will use this (individual viewership data), it's okay.
Broadcasters to a large extent have changed their mind on CPT and agencies too. One can back calculate everything. The prices will go up, based on supply-demand ratio. Supply-demand ratio will bring the prices of the ad industry to where it belongs.
How's television going to contribute to the media and entertainment industry's target of $100 billion? Will it continue to be the biggest contributor?
This year the TV market should grow by 15 per cent. I see buoyancy, and advertisers are coming back to TV. Met (Meteorology department) has also predicted a good monsoon. So I genuinely believe it's a good year for ad industry -- broadcasters, print, everyone.
Many markets globally have started experiencing digital ad spend overtaking traditional media. Are we ready to embrace the change?
I don't think that is happening. In the US, spends are going back to television. For us at Viacom, it doesn't matter anyway. For us, if it goes to digital, we have Voot, if it comes to TV, we have so many brands and at the end of the day, we are monetising content through different streams. So for us, it really does not matter.
As an industry, I don't think it will happen in the next 10 years. I think digital revenues will grow because anything that has a low base will keep going higher but I don't think it will come at the cost of radio, TV or print. These streams are independently growing too.
Do you see things back on track after the impact of demonetisation? What is your assessment on the growth of TV market and your channels for FY 17-18?
Demonetisation heavily impacted all of us as an industry. But as things stand today, it looks like things are back on track as far as advertising is concerned. 2017-18 would be business as usual, but whether we will be able to make up for the losses we incurred, I don't know. So, that's how I see at least a 12-15 per cent growth this year for Colors.

Confessing the Faith
At times we need to make certain we're holding up our own confession of faith and making clear that this is not just what we believe, it's who we are. … this book is a way of making clear for now and for future generations these are the truths we hold and hold boldly. — R. Albert Mohler Jr.
EDITOR'S NOTE: In what follows, Southern Seminary President R. Albert Mohler Jr. discusses the new SBTS Press title, Confessing the Faith: The Living Legacy of Southern Seminary's Abstract of Principles, with Southern Seminary Magazine executive editor S. Craig Sanders.
This project on the Abstract of Principles seems to fulfill the vision you set out 23 years ago in your first convocation address, "Don't Just Do Something; Stand There." What's it like to finally be at this point in your presidency and have a book like this?
My hope in this book was to nail our own Theses to the door, so to speak. Especially as I begin my 24th year, to enjoy the fact that we have now at Southern Seminary and Boyce College a faculty who gladly teach by this confession and would gladly write chapters in order to defend all that it affirms. You know, we also need from time to time some very basic reminders of who we are in the same way that a Jewish family gathers for the sacred dinner once a year and recites the same words every year, in the same way that a local congregation confesses the faith together and reads the church covenant together. At times we need to make certain we're holding up our own confession of faith and making clear that this is not just what we believe, it's who we are. We do that in convocation when newly elected professors sign the Abstract of Principles publicly, in full view of the seminary and of the watching world, but this book is a way of making clear for now and for future generations these are the truths we hold and hold boldly.
You write the first commentary chapter on the Scriptures. For those who don't know our story, why is it so significant to begin with the Scriptures?
The first thing we need to say is that it is necessary to begin with the Scriptures because otherwise we have no idea of the authority whereby we would be able to say anything else in terms of the other articles of the confession. The second thing is that's one of the most quintessentially Protestant patterns to begin with Scripture because we are committed to Scripture alone as the final authority. So it establishes Southern Seminary as confessional, it establishes that confession as based upon biblical authority, and it establishes the authority and inspiration of Scripture as the necessary place to start any theological conversation. It also makes very clear that the conservative resurgence in the Southern Baptist Convention wasn't developing new doctrine but affirming what Southern Baptists had believed from the beginning, and especially affirming the verbal inspiration of Scripture, as well as its infallibility and inerrancy.
What theological challenges and threats to our confessional faith do you see today and are most concerned about?
The whole commitment of confessionalism is subverted in the larger society and has become anathema to liberal denominations and churches. When human conscience is elevated to the ultimate authority, confessionalism necessarily dies. We're living in an age in which the supremacy of individual conscience and personal autonomy is taken for granted by the society around us. So this is a profoundly countercultural act. It also reverses the logic of liberal Protestantism and it affirms the fact that we as an institution are not made up of students and faculty who happen to be at the same place at the same time, but as those who are drawn by specific truths that we believe are drawn from Scripture and rightly believed by the church.
When you came to the seminary as a student, the professors' attitudes toward the Abstract were very different. What do you hope the students learn from the professors today in regard to the Abstract?
I think it's important to understand there are very few new arguments. So the arguments that were made by more liberal or moderate professors as they called themselves during many decades of the 20th century was that they had a right of private interpretation of the confession of faith. And that wasn't new. That goes back centuries in terms of Christian theological conversation, and one of the things I wanted to show is that the founders of the seminary sought to preclude that argument from the very beginning. They used that exact language to say that's not allowable. So I want students to know that when faculty members sign the Abstract of Principles, it's not merely that they sign it as a symbolic act. It's not that they merely sign it saying they understand this is what the institution represents. It's not just that they agree to teach within these theological boundaries. It's that they confess this is the faith they also believe and want to teach. I also wanted to document what was actually going on and that's why in that chapter I make certain to document that my experience as a student in the classroom was typical of what those of my generation received. I had Professor Dale Moody who handed out his revisions of the Abstract of Principles in class. I hope that's shocking to our students today, and it ought to be. And that's a part of why such a reformation of the institution was necessary.
Confessing the Faith: The Living Legacy of Southern Seminary's Abstract of Principles
R. Albert Mohler Jr., editor(SBTS Press 2016, $16.99)
Three decades ago, when R. Albert Mohler Jr. enrolled as a student at Southern Seminary, his professors openly contradicted the institution's confession of faith. Written by Basil Manly Jr. in 1858 as the document on which Southern Seminary would be established, the Abstract of Principles sets forth 20 articles of faith that every professor is required to affirm and teach. When Mohler assumed the presidency in 1993, he set out to restore the confessional integrity of Southern Seminary.
In Confessing the Faith: The Living Legacy of Southern Seminary's Abstract of Principles, 20 of the seminary's faculty contribute chapters defending and applying the truths of each article of faith. Mohler writes in the introduction that the book is evidence "the theological recovery for which we had longed, prayed, and worked has come to pass."
