Videology's Ferber: Hammering TV With Digital RTB Tactics (Alone) Will Not Unlock Dollars
by Kelly Liyakasa // Monday, November 10th, 2014 – 4:27 pm
Videology has been described as everything from a demand-side platform to publisher ad server to – claws out – your run-of-the-mill ad network.
But Scott Ferber, Videology's chairman and CEO, and a co-founder of Advertising.com, said there's only one piece of truth to the "network" part: that Videology creates "private video networks" for media companies like Yahoo Japan and delivers audience guarantees and data targeting for advertisers. Additionally, a number of agencies like Mediahub/Mullen have "standardized" on its self-serve platform.
In recent months, Videology, whose core business is video advertising, applied Nielsen Cross-Platform Homes Panel and TV audience data to beef up a TV Amplifer tool it launched in 2012. Last year, more than 25% of Videology's campaign RFPs included requests for cross-screen planning and buying, which spurred the initial development of Amplifier and subsequent data add-ons.
In late October, Videology formally launched a TV practice, appointing five key executives to spearhead the new development, at the basis of which is the growing confluence of digital and TV ad dollars.
Ferber spoke with AdExchanger about these developments.
AdExchanger: Why the development of a TV practice?
SCOTT FERBER: We've been offering tools to help clients efficiently plan, buy and sell advertising across screens. These tools facilitate the best use of television dollars across all screens, and informed cross-screen planning leads to improved reach, awareness and recall and that pushes product off shelves. The key to this is our direct integration with Nielsen and other data providers that allow us to measure campaign performance across devices using a common set of metrics.
We launched our TV practice to move our television initiatives forward in a faster, more strategic way by putting a specialized, dedicated staff of television experts behind them. The global team crosses multiple divisions, from sales to product development.
You're among the last "remaining" private video ad tech companies. What are your revenues now and what percent of that is licensed vs. managed?
We'll do $300 million this year in revenue and did over $200 million last year, so we're at over 100% compound annual growth rate. Eighty percent of our business is a platform/ tech licensing business. Twenty percent of our business globally is media. There's two ways you can license tech. You can have your clients do everything by themselves or you can do everything for them or something in between. All of our tech licensees do a combination of self and/or partially managed services. But we still need a media business to help them with liquidity.
Are you an ad network?
I say we're the ad network killer. We give people portfolio optimization capabilities specifically to manage private video networks. From our perspective, though, of course you have to service the managed side. They're participants in the ecosystem. If you favor [one side – supply or demand] it breeds distrust from the other side in working with you.
So you're not into this whole idea that you can't serve two masters? Some folks would argue focusing on one side keeps the other accountable.
One of my biggest frustrations is there are a lot of companies who are trying to say they're not in the media business, they're not a network and they don't service demand and supply. The reality is everyone who's in this industry space, every company who says they're supply-side oriented has to service the demand side and every company that's demand-side oriented has to service the supply side. You will fail if you think your only client is only one of those two sides. That's a misconception that they are one-sided in the equation because everyone who is successful has to do both of those. To be very clear, I don't understand the issue, when all of us need to service an ecosystem, why there is an artificial distinction made on media and networks when everyone has a media proposition. You have to create liquidity in the marketplace. You have to be able to source media. It's a part of the business. This is nothing new and people are trying to put their own spin on something old.
So are you an ad server, a DSP, an SSP or an exchange? Or is it some mix of everything?
We have a video ad server. We have a yield management system. Our differentiation is that the ability to run a portfolio of campaigns against media placements is a huge yield management math problem. TV works differently than RTB, so the current SSP models are not correct from display to video. We run yield management technology for the demand and the supply side. Is that a DSP? Is that an SSP? Yes, but not the way they're defined by digital. It's about building private video networks and that means you got to have a supply- [and] demand-side capability and ad server. We are not a publisher ad server media rights management company like FreeWheel. They're amazing at what they do. Love them. We are not in the business of being a publisher or advertiser ad server in the way DFA, DFP or Vindico are set up.
What do the video SSP acquisitions of late indicate to you?
I would put Facebook buying LiveRail on the digital side, and Comcast on the traditional side (and they're huge in digital, don't get me wrong) but the fact that they're 80% TV and their history, and they bought FreeWheel. If you think about that, holy cow, there are a lot of companies between media companies, multivideo production distributors, cable companies and satellite operators and telephone companies, agencies, brands [that want to get into video]. So many entities. And then all of the tech providers for enterprise software, SAP, Oracle, IBM and Intel, and those companies will be intersecting in some shape or form with the future of video.
There's one caveat, though. Who's left to buy?
The flip side is, there are not that many companies out there – I'm talking pure-play, supply-side tech folk with reasonable scale. There are a lot of display companies trying to do video, but I think it's such a big industry and opportunity and the differences in display and video are so vast that if you truly want to go across the holy grail of TV money, you're going to have to take a very TV-centric approach to it. Just applying the RTB digital hammer by itself will not work.
In many ways, you're seeing traditional publishers and media companies create new sources of supply, like RTL Group did with StyleHaul.
In Japan, the newspapers own the television broadcasters. Japan is the second largest TV market in the world. Here, the newspapers for ownership reasons couldn't make that happen. They're not that strong economically because the media landscape changed. I think companies need to be like National Geographic, which has a great print magazine, but while print is great, they realized they could make a franchise on TV and now they're one of the top five cable networks. That's where the future is, and it's simply the domination of money in the sight, sound and motion.

Richard Linklater Says He Missed the Window to Make Another 'Before' Movie
Sony Classics
Before Sunrise came out in 1995. Before Sunset followed in 2004. Before Midnight opened in theaters in 2013. Exactly nine years passed between each of the films featuring star-crossed lovers Celine (Julie Delpy) and Jesse (Ethan Hawke) — which means if Delpy, Hawke, and director Richard Linklater were going to make a fourth film, it should ideally come out later this year. And that's not happening.
So is that the end of one of the most beloved film series in history? Linklater himself concedes that it might be. In a new interview with Collider, he says the thinks they "missed [their] window" to make a fourth film.
"It should be coming out now," Linklater admitted. "The great idea didn't really gel. I think the last one took a lot out of us. I don't know."
Linklater also said "never say never" but added that if the Before trilogy winds up being just that, he's okay with that.
A trilogy, if it ends up that, that's good, but it's hopefully a long life. You know? And if the second Jesse and Celine are talking to us...that's how it worked the other two times. We realized they were still alive and talking to us. And a great idea emerged that was worthy of the effort that it takes to make a film like that. So that just hasn't quite happened yet. But when it does, who knows?
The way Linklater talks about the project, it seems pretty clear Linklater, Delpy, and Hawke did consider making a fourth movie; they just didn't find a concept they could all agree on. Given the lovely progression of the three films, with Celine and Jesse meeting as strangers and sharing a magical night in Vienna, to reconnecting in Paris, to living together as a couple and finding the realities of middle age often do not live up to the dreams of youth, it's tough to see what comes next. Another movie where they're together and even more unhappy? Or they've broken up but they meet to finalize a divorce? Or they're just a happily married couple with no major issues? None of those sound like appealing options. And if Linklater, Delpy, and Hawke couldn't crack the concept, it's better not to force a fourth movie.
Linklater's latest film, Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood, is now available on Netflix.

On Legal Counteracting Measures Against International Tax Avoidance Engaged By Base Company
Country:China Candidate:Q N Mi Full Text:PDF
GTID:2156360122485154 Subject:International law
With the current trend of economic globalization and investment liberalization, international investment competition becomes more and more intensive. In order to succeed in competition, multinational investors regarding maximization of after-tax profit as their ultimate target try hard to make international tax planning, among which the use of base company established in tax havens to engage in transnational tax avoidance is the best choice of many multinational taxpayers. At the same time, in order to attract foreign capital, each country in the world offers competitively many preferential tax measures so as to improve investment environment of its own. Especially, under the premise that tax havens offer special preferential tax regimes, tax havens take other measures which can help multinational taxpayers to avoid tax using base company established in tax havens, which will further distort international investment, result in abnormal flow of multinational capital, and erode the tax bases of relevant countries heavily. Therefore, how to restrict the misuse of tax havens by multinational taxpayers has become the problem of great concern of each country. To deal with it, in the 1960's, the United States first enacted Subpart F of 《Internal Revenue Code》to keep a tight rein on the abuse of tax havens by multinational taxpayers. Followed by developed countries mentioned above, developing countries have promulgated relevant laws and regulations against international tax avoidance engaged by base company and adopted anti-haven tax regime; at the same time international organizations led by Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) also launched the campaign aiming at counteracting harmful tax competition, which will devastate international tax avoidance engaged by base company fundamentally.With the steady development of reform and opening to the outside world in China, we have made much progress in attracting foreign capital on the one hand and investing abroad on the other hand. Moreover, overseas investors of our country have established numerous enterprises in some universally recognized tax havens, not to say multinational investors to our country. Being a member of WTO, we will gradually relax foreign exchange control over domestic enterprises, although the tax law of our country imposes certain restriction on deferral of taxation, there is still some room left for overseas investors to avoid tax by using base company, which will erode the tax base of our country seriously. In my opinion, our country should further improve transfer pricing rules and enact CFC legislation based on current situation of our country and learned from the successful experiences of CFC legislation adopted by the developed countries so as to safeguard fiscal revenues of our country. This article studies the legal counteracting measures against international tax avoidance engaged by base company, it analyzes deeply the concrete mechanisms against international tax avoidance engaged by base company inbound and outbound by using such legal empirical methods as analysis, comparison and induction, finally, it deals with present situation of legal control over international tax avoidance engaged by base company, and gives some constructive suggestions regarding how to further improve foreign tax legislation of our country. This article is divided into four chapters, containing about 45,000 Chinese characters. The main contents of each chapter are as follows:Chapter I deals with the general introduction of international tax avoidance engaged by base company. It first analyzes the definition of base company, thoroughly studies the behaviors of international tax avoidance engaged by base company, and points out the necessity to restrict it through analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of international tax avoidance engaged by base company, it also briefly gives an introduction of the present situation of control in the world.Chapter II deals with domestic legal counteracting measures against intern...

"We are a busy professional couple. We both work over 40 hours a week and spend approximately 10 hours commuting into Washington, DC. The last thing either of us wants to do when we get home is think about what to make for dinner or prepare dinner. Unfortunately, this means many nights we are eating sandwiches or cereal for dinner. We are so thankful that The Grateful Table saved us from food boredom!
Katie and Mary were incredibly warm and patient as they talked with us about our food preferences. We actually thought about food for the first time in years - what would be our ideal meal; what herbs would we like to try; and were there any specific ethnic foods we would like to sample? After a personal meeting with them, they sent us a variety of options for meals from which we could choose. To be honest - it was incredibly fun to think about our food options.
Katie and Mary came into our home - but the only reason we knew they were here is because of all the wonderful food in our refrigerator and freezer. We came home to an immaculate kitchen and some of the most delicious food. We were able to eat the most delicious meatloaf - something we both had been craving but never had the time to make - along with mashed potatoes and vegetables.
The Grateful Table allowed us to experience food again - something we never had time for.
We are both making a conscious effort to try and eat healthy real food - and The Grateful Table allows us to meet that goal. Katie and Mary are truly wonderful - and our happy and full stomachs are grateful we found them!"
"When our new baby, Caden, came home in March 2013 we were overwhelmed with joy, but also with the new responsibilities that quickly encompassed our lives. It was then that we turned to The Grateful Table to help us.
Although we had never used a personal chef service before and weren't quite sure what to expect, Katie and Mary at The Grateful Table made the process simple and fun for us. We were amazed at the variety of meals. It was just as easy as ordering off a menu at a restaurant, but even better, as the meals were all made exactly to our specifications and liking. On cook days Katie and Mary arrived ready to cook, bringing smiles along with their own knives, pots and pans, equipment, spatulas and even paper towels. Our kitchen became a cheerful place again with the joyful sounds of chopping and sauteing, and delicious smells filling every room. They took food safety very seriously, ensuring that all meals were brought down to their proper temperatures for storing in our freezer for the week.
In those first few months I can't tell you enough what a joy and a relief it was to open our refrigerator and freezer and take out such delicious meals as chicken and spinach lasagna with creamy basil sauce, sweet potato and black bean enchiladas, and coconut crusted chicken with apricot sauce and baby bok choy. Katie and Mary expertly handled the gargantuan task of cooking gluten free for us, making creative and challenging dishes like Roasted Vegetable Polenta Pizza, Quinoa stuffed Portobello Mushrooms, and Butternut Squash and Kale lasagna with Smoky Marinara Sauce. Every meal was packed with fresh ingredients, beautifully arranged in its dish, and *delicious.* We unabashedly found ourselves licking our plates clean, bargaining with each other over the last piece of a dish, and eagerly anticipating the next cook date. Best of all, we found that we were not only being fed, our spirits were being nourished. Every dish was so lovingly prepared; it was as if our own mother and sister were looking after us through these meals.
Ultimately, having The Grateful Table cook for us was one of the best decisions we have ever made. We have never eaten so well in our lives as we did during those wonderful months. More so - Katie and Mary gave us a precious gift - time that we would've spent grocery shopping and cooking and cleaning to instead bond with our baby. We are beyond grateful to The Grateful Table and would gladly and happily welcome them to our home again. We hope you will too."
"Oh WOW!!!! The chicken pot pie was the most amazing stuff we have ever had. We loved it ---what we didn't finish last night, was lunch today and we squabbled over who took the leftovers to work!!! The bread was incredible and we loved the salad. We decided our kitchen last night was better than any restaurant around.
I shared a puff pastry with a friend at work. Yummy. She loved it. She wanted to know what my recipe was for the wonderfully flaky pastry crust----well I was busted!!!! Carl shared muffins with our real estate agent and his assistant. They just raved over how good they were.
So, the food has been a HUGE HIT!!!! "
"We highly recommend the personal chef services provided by the dynamic mother-daughter team, Katie & Mary. Katie & Mary are a warm and friendly duo who have incredible menu offerings to choose from. We were truly impressed and overcome by the quality and deliciousness of each and every meal. We LOVE the meals! They are simply delicious! We had friends over for the cod and they absolutely loved it, we were all but battling for the last yummy green bean! The Grateful Table gave us the chance to get out of a rut of being tired of our own cooking & of the same old take-out food, while maintaining the coziness & convenience of dining in our own home."
"I know you heard us sing your praises in person, but I wanted to take the time to tell you that your food, service and thoughtfulness were outstanding. We've loved everything. Thank you, thank you."
"As a working mother of three children under the age of five, taking time out of my busy schedule to cook and prepare dinner for a family of five every night was becoming overwhelming. The Grateful Table (Chef Katie and Chef Mary) came to my rescue! Not only were the meals they prepared for us amazing, healthy, and delicious, their professionalism, communication with us, and kind spirits made our life so much easier and were able to enjoy our dinners together as a family more. I was so grateful for having more time with the kids in the evening rather than cooking for an hour in the kitchen! I would recommend The Grateful Table to anyone! Thank you Chef Katie and Chef Mary!"

The pitches in South Africa have come under plenty of scrutiny ever since India played at the Wanderers on a surface the ICC rated "poor", and Mickey Arthur, the Pakistan coach, said on Friday that the surfaces used for the first two Tests of the current series hadn't been "good enough for Test cricket".
The second day of the Newlands Test saw several balls rear up from a good length. Faf du Plessis was struck on the gloves several times, requiring the attention of the physio, while Temba Bavuma copped a nasty one in the ribs, leading to a prolonged delay.
"I'm a little bit disappointed, to be honest," Arthur said. "I haven't been back to South Africa in a cricketing capacity since 2010 and the standard of the wickets – the wicket we had at Centurion and the wicket here – I think haven't been good enough for Test cricket.
The difficulty level of the pitch in Centurion attracted attention from both sides, with Dean Elgar declaring South Africa "the hardest place in the world to be an opener." Fifteen wickets fell on a first day there that saw much variable bounce, with the match ending before tea on day three.
Here in Cape Town, Pakistan found themselves bowled out by tea on a spicy first-day surface, but it wasn't until today that the unpredictable nature of the pitch began to reveal itself. As early as the third over, a Mohammad Abbas delivery jagged in sharply from outside off stump to take Hashim Amla's leg stump.
Even so, it might be worth noting the challenges of the pitch have disquieted Pakistan much more significantly than the hosts. Despite the supposed poor quality of the surface here, South Africa added 259 runs in 86 overs on a day unquestionably dominated by the bat, prompting suggestions that the issue may be more about the relative batting quality of the sides. Arthur, however, believed the pitches in South Africa used to be better in the past.

Ruth "Sue" Ingersoll Clough
Ruth "Sue" Ingersoll Clough passed away on December 19, 2016 in Newport, NH at the age of 73. Sue grew up in Newton, Mass., graduating from the Cambridge School of Weston. She met John Clough of New London NH when they both attended Middlebury College and they were married in 1964. After spending time in Colorado, they moved back to NH and eventually, back to John's hometown of New London in 1975 to raise their four daughters Becca, Kate, Abby and Emily.
In 1977, Sue and John opened Spring Ledge Farm on Main Street New London representing acres of beautifully kept flower gardens, tilled fields and a farm stand filled with local and regionally grown fruits, vegetables, flowers and shrubbery. The farm had been in John's family since before the Civil War. In 1991, Sue and John dedicated 53 acres of Spring Ledge Farm to a perpetual easement to forever preserve this unique in-town farm. They worked with Ausbon Sargent and LCHIP, with the cooperation of the Town of New London Conservation Commission, to make this a reality. Sue and John continued to work Spring Ledge Farm until 2005 when they retired to Elkins and transferred ownership of the farm to Greg Berger of Calerin, LLC that November.
Sue was extremely civic-minded. She volunteered for numerous town committees including the Zoning Board, the Planning Board, Budget Committee, Conservation Commission, Citizen's Advisory Committee and served an 8-year position on the Board of Selectmen for New London. Sue was also very involved in service to St. Andrews Episcopal Church, mentoring, ministering and serving on many committees.
Sue's interest in agriculture and conservation extended well beyond Spring Ledge Farm. She was a founding board member of Ausbon Sargent in 1987. Sue was appointed by the governor to the NH Agricultural Advisory Committee for a 3-year term, the first woman to serve, and served for ten years on the NH Lands Committee. In addition, Sue was instrumental in the transfer of her grandfather's 171- acre property in southern NH to the Society for the Protection of NH Forests, known now as the 236-acre Bockes Memorial Forest.
Sue brightened the lives of so many and enlightened through her service. Her Ausbon Sargent family feels the sadness of this loss.

Conectys' specialised centers in Romania, Belgium and the Philippines are complemented by a large pool of Work from Home agents enabling faster scalability and multilingual and multicultural alignment for global brands.
Not every agent at Conectys' manager's disposal will be considered a good homeworking candidate. Trust is critical, they must resonate with our company culture, and having the right personality traits is also very important. Those who enjoy working as part of a team and being in a sociable environment will not be well suited to homeworking.
They must have the knowledge, self-motivation and discipline to work independently and provide a good and consistent quality of service without supervision. Other key competences and prerequisites are thoroughly screened: certified language skills, technical skills, project specific competences as well as infrastructure redundancy tests are validated prior to onboarding.
We also ensure that we are adequately protected against international employment law. Different countries (especially in Europe) have different legislation in place. These laws can encompass holiday entitlements, sick pay as well as tax and insurance law.
Quality monitoring is more intensive in the first months, with frequent deliverables monitoring, call recordings listening, live call listening and barge in, keywords triggered notifications, followed by coaching and calibration sessions. Our technologies allows for full transparency of deliverables for all stakeholders (client, work from home employee and Conectys management), keeping everyone informed on results vs. commitments (E.g., real time SLA notifications, web based access to call data and raw data, dashboards, etc. We also keep track of Customer Experience through the analysis of Net Promoter Score, Customer Effort Score, First Contact resolution and Customer Satisfaction.
Once recruitment is completed, work from home employees go through Conectys Employee Onboarding process which encompasses induction training, company values, technologies, key processes and Conectys' teams. Depending on the nature of work and skills, we heavily invest in specialised training including soft skills and communication, content moderation, technical training, social media customer service, etc.
Each work from home employee goes through a full certification process prior to be assigned to customer specific training.
Customer specific training takes place remotely or on-site (temporarily transferring employees to our location or customer's location). Collaborative technologies such as video calling conferences, surveys, call recording, remote desktop control, are used at this stage to ensure information is transferred in full and knowledge assessed at each stage.
It may sound obvious, but before giving employees the ability to work from home, it is important to check that they have a secure internet connection and phone line. Once this is guaranteed, we setup IPsec VPN connections, centrally managed systems access, documented and client available access matrix with who has access to what information, and which material can or cannot be removed from a central server.
Homeworkers are granted access only to the tools and files they need, for both security and confidentiality reasons. It is also important to have technology in place to deal with power outages and connection failures. In such instance, calls are easily routed from our PBX to active users to ensure business continuity and a smooth customer experience.


Do you think you are eating healthy? I thought I was doing a pretty good job eating right, but I'm not so sure after seeing the list of the Top 10 "Powerhouse" foods.
Not only don't I eat many of the foods these researchers say are the best to help in the prevention of disease, I honestly don't even know what some of them are. Chard?
And some of the foods I thought were the healthiest, fruits and berries, for instance, didn't even factor on the list.
Researchers at New Jersey's William Paterson University compiled a list of powerhouse foods based on their amounts of 17 crucial nutrients. They looked at both fruits and vegetables, with veggies dominating the list.
Watercress came in with a perfect score of 100, the only food to do so.

Roj Din Mah Khordad, 1379 Yz.
Over the next three days, Ustad Saheb continued his series of talks on Atash at the Bazm. In Manchersha Master's sharp mind the obvious question arose: 'where has this man got all this knowledge from' since in all his years of study of religion, Manchersha had not come across any explanation anywhere close to what Behramshah was expounding. At the end of the third day of talks, Manchersha put across this question very politely to Ustad Saheb. Behramshah answered: 'All I have learnt has been at the feet of my Ustad, Sraoshavarez Marzbanji Saheb, and I have got this knowledge of Khshnoom from the Abed Sahebs of Demavand in Iran.' Now Manchersha, being a school teacher had a very good grasp of history and geography and immediately began to ask Behramshah questions about his journey to Iran, the route he had taken, the peculiar geographical features of Iran, in a way to find out if Behramshah really knew what he was talking about. But as Behramshah fluently answered his queries with deep, revealing answers and with the confidence which can only emerge from a spiritually advanced soul, Manchersha realized that he was indeed speaking to a person who was not only speaking the absolute truth but also one who had a depth of knowledge and spirituality which Manchersha had not seen in anybody else in all his life.
One of the things which most struck Manchersha Master about Behramshah – which would remain till the day Ustad Saheb died, was the Master's absolute reluctance to reveal any more knowledge than was necessary for the topic under discussion. Manchersha understood that had a person been a fake, he would be most anxious to repeat his boasts and speak extensively about his adventures. But Behramshah was quite the contrary. Many times he would simply refuse to answer or would answer in a very short or non-descriptive manner. He would always repeat the two words which would forever be linked to the life of Ustad Saheb: "Mataa nathi". What is the meaning of this arcane phrase? When using these words Ustad Saheb used to indicate that the time, place and mental composition of those around him were not suited to the topic under discussion. Ustad Saheb was very thrifty with the knowledge he had gained from the Abed Sahebs and was very fearful of the knowledge being misunderstood or ridiculed by persons of low intellectual powers. This reluctance to part with the knowledge – which he often used to call Ilm-e-Ilahi – Divine Knowledge, left a great impression on Manchersha, because this reluctance actually revealed the real brilliance of Behramshah and his total and absolute honesty. A Master is always sparing in imparting the knowledge to his disciple. As the disciple advances in his quest to come closer to the Absolute Truth, the Master slowly increases his quota of dissemination. This was the principle which Ustad Saheb followed and this convinced Manchersha of his genuineness. As the days passed, the bond between Behramshah and Manchersha grew stronger and deeper. On Manchersha's insistence, Behramshah started giving talks to the Parsi students of the public schools in Surat at that time.
Around the same time in Mumbai there arose a brilliant scholar of Avesta, Pahlavi and Pazend. This young priest belonged to an illustrious family of the Bhagarsath Anjuman of Navsari. Brought up in near poverty, Ervad Phiroze Shapurji Masani was a man of giant intellectual capacity. All through his brilliant life, Ervad Phiroze never stood second in any exam – he always stood first, from the lowest class to his M.A. degree and through to his Solicitor's Exam. As a student, Ervad Phiroze was deeply influenced by the Temperance and Prohibition movement going on at that time in the United States. Ervad Phiroze strongly believed that a life of temperance (i.e. not taking any intoxicating substances like alcohol, drugs, tobacco and any form of non-vegetarian food) was the first stepping stone to living a true Zoroastrian life. In order to further this aim, Ervad Phiroze, along with a few other sympathizers started the Parsi Vegetarian and Temperance Society and started giving talks and bringing out handbooks on temperance and the vices of intoxication and non-vegetarianism.
At about the same time, another gentleman in Mumbai was very concerned with the lack of religious knowledge and education among the Zoroastrian priesthood. Seth Kaikhushroo Burjorji Choksi strongly felt that if the priests understood what they were praying in the Avesta, they would develop a deeper dedication towards their job and perform their duties with greater sincerity and devotion. To encourage this, Seth Choksi started Avesta and Pahlavi classes for the priests at the Wadiaji Atash Behram in Mumbai. These classes were conducted by Mr. Khodabux Edulji Poonegar, a student of K. R. Cama and a formidable authority on Avesta and Pahlavi. But the opposite of what Seth Choksi had envisioned happened. Mr. Poonegar was steeped in the western study of the Zoroastrian religion at that time and merely repeated the fake and Christian oriented and influenced theories of that time. This in fact broke the faith of the priests who began to wonder whether it was really worthwhile to do all the ceremonies for the various Yazatas and Amesha Spentas if, as per the theories of those times, they were not divine entities but merely qualities or attributes of Ahura Mazda.
Both Ervad Masani and Seth Choksi used to meet regularly at the Wadiaji Atash Behram. As they discussed the state of affairs of the community, Ervad Masani told Seth Choksi that he had heard of a man in Surat who claimed to have learnt about the religion from some secluded Zoroastrian sages. They both wondered if there was any truth to these strange stories. Seth Choksi promised to find out more about this man on his next trip to Surat. When he went to Surat, Seth Choksi met with Manchersha Master and through him came into contact with Ustad Saheb. A few minutes of discussion with Ustad Saheb had a dramatic influence on Seth Choksi. He was convinced that Ustad Saheb was the right person to educate the priests of his class in Mumbai as well as to explain to the western educated Parsi scholars what the Zoroastrian religion was really about.
A short time later, Ervad Phiroze Masani arrived in Surat on a lecture tour of the Parsi Vegetarian and Temperance Society. He was introduced to Ustad Saheb and a few hours with the Ustad gave Phiroze the esoteric understanding of temperance and vegetarianism. Even Ervad Masani was completely astounded by the level of Ustd Saheb's knowledge and in his mind decided that it would be best to get Ustad Saheb to Mumbai. The combination of Ervad Phiroze Masani, Seth Kaikhushroo Choksi and Manchersha Master (what a formidable combination!) set about to get Ustad Saheb to Mumbai. There was just one small hitch – the Master refused!
As I have mentioned earlier, Ustad Saheb was very sparing with his knowledge and had a deep fear of being misunderstood or that his Teacher and Ustad would be disrespected in any manner. Through his knowledge of Ilm-e-Kyafa, Ustad Saheb could immediately read the character and intellectual capacity of a person through his facial features. He would then behave with that individual in the manner best suited to his level. However, in a room full of people with varying levels, Ustad Saheb would find it difficult to explain the knowledge of Khshnoom. If he went too low, those with a deeper understanding would feel it were too simple. If he went at a higher level, those with a lower grasping power would not understand a word of what he would say. For this reason, Ustad Saheb was very particular about the dissemination of Khshnoom.
At another level, Ustad Saheb had been warned by his Masters that his destiny and public life would be of a somewhat unpleasant experience. The Ustad believed that by limiting his interaction with the outside world, he could perhaps avoid this unpleasantness in the later years of his life. Moreover, Ustad Saheb was very particular about his daily prayers and lived a life of very strict Tarikats, maintaining a high level of purity and piety. All this would be difficult to maintain should he go to Mumbai. For all these reasons, Ustad Saheb refused to come to Mumbai with Seth Choksi and Manchersha Master.
But Manchersha and Seth Choksi were not easily put off. They both insisted with Ustad Saheb and gave him various reasons and arguments in order to convince him to come to Mumbai. Finally, Ustad Saheb went in to Sezda and conferred with his Master, Sraoshavarez Marzbanji Saheb. His Master gave him permission, with a few words of advice and friendly warning, and thus reassured, Behramshah made preparations to go to Mumbai in 1908.
Sincere Thanks for all the efforts of typing out all of this brilliant matter for the benefit of all the readers.

Troy plausibly weaves together the lives of an Irish immigrant in New York City, a cosmopolitan abolitionist from a wealthy and dysfunctional family, and two slaves with excellent trade skills over the backdrop of nineteenth-century New York, Virginia, and the Civil War. A Bildungsroman narrated from the perspective of each of the four characters, Troy's novel relates a gripping and compelling tale of four individuals who see their lives as loose threads until they find the love that completes them and brings them to maturity. As they overcome pangs of guilt, vagaries of war, trials of loss, and the oppression of slavery, Troy vivifies the triumphs and tragedies of a bygone era with an historian's knowledge and a storyteller's flair.
Twelve-year-old Ethan McOwen arrives in Brooklyn in 1847, a refugee from "The Hunger" that had claimed the life of his beloved older sister Aislinn just a few months prior. Aislinn had imparted to Ethan a love of literature, and it is the Odyssey, his favorite, that provides a key to his character. Like Telemachus, Odysseus's unproven son, Ethan sets off on a voyage to become a man, with an Irish twist that his battles are with guilt over the knowledge that the famine took his sister, not him.
The trans-Atlantic passage on the "Coffin Ship" claims the lives of nineteen other passengers, but Ethan survives due to the intervention of the sailor Suah, the first black man he has ever seen. "He was surprised, seein' him up close, that there were no strange rings through the man's nose or ears. He wore regular clothes that covered his whole body. He had shoes on too, and didn't carry a spear, and Ethan decided that there must be two types of Africans, the ones he saw an illustration of in one of the English histories he and Aislinn used to read, and another group who were normal, just like Irishmen or Englishmen except for their skin and the way they talked." Upon the ship's arrival in the Hudson River port, Ethan confesses his added guilt over having made it this far when so many never had the chance. "Perhaps God have somet'ing he want you to do," Suah replies from the perspective of hardship and experience.
Suah's words resonate in Ethan's mind in the coming years as he takes up residence in Brooklyn with his father and brother, who had already established themselves as a fisherman and a midlevel Tammany Hall functionary, respectively. When we meet Ethan again ten years later, his love for books and ideas earns him the nickname of "Perfessor" from his Irish friends, but they fail to earn him a place at New York University. He becomes a fisherman, a local baseball sensation, a photographer, and, despite Tammany's influence, a supporter of Lincoln and his bid to halt the spread of slavery. He and three friends join the Irish Brigade, the Fightin' Sixty-Ninth, and head south to fight in the Civil War.
It is the kindled friendship and love begun over concurrent projects during the war that humanize this mule and this island, and in recovering their humanity they discover the need for freedom. A week before Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation goes into force, they attempt to escape, but fail. Losing each other, they fall back to their dehumanized states, with Micah descending into the throes of animal rage. Only in helping to liberate other slaves does he finally become a man again.
Ethan is the last of the four characters to reach full maturity. Like his hero Odysseus, his journey ends twenty years after it began, on the anniversary of Aislinn's death. In the presence of his enlarged family and new friends, Ethan reenacts the scene "when Odysseus is given the bag t'contain all th'winds so dey can make it home t'Ithaca," just as he had done with Aislinn days before she died. Now, observing all that has transpired in his life "frontsways," the wind, personified by his young daughter, blows away his guilt and brings him to "at long last, redemption." The Yankee motto during the war was "Union and Liberty." It is through personal unions that Troy's wartime characters overcome their own internal divisions to find the truth that sets them free.
David G. Bonagura, Jr., a former associate editor of The University Bookman, writes from New York.

This outdoor music series—free to the community—offers afternoon/evening concerts on the lawn, spotlighting several genres within The Herb Alpert School of Music at CalArts.
In May 2010, The Herb Alpert School of Music at CalArts officially dedicated its new indoor/outdoor music venue, The Wild Beast and The S. Mark Taper Foundation Courtyard. The pavilion opened with a festive evening under the stars that celebrated CalArts' 40th anniversary, and brought more than 500 people from across the Santa Clarita Valley together for dynamic performances by the CalArts World Percussion Ensemble and CalArts Latin Jazz Ensemble.
Building on the momentum created on that magical evening, CalArts has established The Wild Beast Concert Series.
An immersive concert series experience, Machines and Strings brings together CalArtians from the disciplines of Music, Theater, Critical Studies, and Integrated Media, pushing bounderies of artistic expression and elevating voices that are often underrepresented in a concert hall setting. The concert will feature pieces by Amy Knoles, April Gerloff, Chrysanthe Tan, Jules Gimbrone, Sarah Belle Reid, and Stephanie Smith, with sets by Skullmatter and Future Lover.
The Wild Beast Concert Series is an outdoor music series offering free concerts on the lawn, spotlighting several genres within The Herb Alpert School of Music at CalArts. Open lawn seating in the S. Mark Taper Foundation Courtyard—a choice setting for families and picnics.
Free concerts and free parking: The concerts and the parking are free, but we do encourage you to register with Eventbrite and to carpool if possible.
Open lawn seating in the S. Mark Taper Foundation Courtyard: Bench-seating is limited and available on a first-come, first- served basis. We encourage you to bring your own lawn chairs and blankets.
Picnics welcome: The lawn outside of The Wild Beast Music Pavilion is a perfect place for a picnic. Come an hour early and grab that prime spot on the lawn. Please leave the alcohol at home, however; open containers are not allowed on the CalArts campus.
Family-friendly: The environment for and content of The Wild Beast Concert Series is safe and appropriate for family enjoyment.
Dress warmly: Each concert lasts approximately 90 minutes and the evening air may get chilly.
The Wild Beast was named in honor of Morton Feldman, Composer-in-Residence at CalArts in 1986, who likened the ineffable creative energy in art to a wild beast.
Designed by Hodgetts + Fung, an architectural firm that also played a critical role in the redesign of the Hollywood Bowl, The Wild Beast houses a highly flexible, acoustically optimized performance and rehearsal space that also allows The Herb Alpert School of Music at CalArts to better serve its growing student population and support an expanded curriculum.
Additionally, with its capacity to accommodate more than 750 guests on the S. Mark Taper Foundation Courtyard grounds, The Wild Beast affords CalArts the opportunity of sharing and engaging its students, faculty, alumni and visiting artists with the broader Santa Clarita Valley community.

Your credit rating is an important element in your finances. If you want to buy or rent a home, lease a car, or obtain a loan or credit card, your credit rating is one of the primary factors a lender considers. Inaccurate information on your credit report could hurt your chances of getting a loan or credit card and result in you paying a higher interest rate.
Experian, one of the leading credit reporting agencies, has been accused of inaccurate reporting. Recently, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia approved a nationwide Settlement related to claims that it included inaccurate tax liens or civil judgments on its credit reports and failed to disclose its public record information vendor.
Experian is providing free credit monitoring for two years and established Mediation and Arbitration Programs for consumers who were injured by a credit report containing an inaccurate civil judgment or tax lien. If consumers were harmed by the inaccurate report, they may be able to mediate claims for money through these programs. Payment is not guaranteed. Affected consumers can participate now, and the Mediation and Arbitration Programs and free credit monitoring are available until August 22, 2020.
On March 27, 2019, attorneys Kristi Kelly, Matthew Erausquin, and Michelle Drake will be available for interviews to discuss the recent settlement, consumers rights, and how and why to check your credit report.

Turkish police detain over 100 in crackdown on May Day marches
(Updates with marches in Ankara, Diyarbakır)
Turkish police have detained over 100 people across the country attempting to march to commemorate International Workers' Day on Wednesday and blocked off the centre of the commercial capital Istanbul and other cities in an effort to prevent the violence that has erupted in previous years.
A total of 137 people were detained in Istanbul alone, Euronews reported.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke from the Presidential Palace in Ankara on the occasion of May Day, saying that the government had rolled up its sleeves to prevent "organisations which don't even represent 1 percent of Turkey's workers," from creating disorder across the country on May 1st.
"We have left the bad images of the past era behind us. There is no conflict or noise on May 1st,'' independent news site T24 quoted the Turkish president as saying.
Erdoğan also added that people no longer trust those who have turned activism into a profession and are looking to create chaos in the country.
Tragedy struck the celebrations in the southeastern province of Şanlıurfa, where a bus carrying health workers to local celebrations overturned, killing five people and injuring 14. Union groups called off concerts scheduled later in the day in response to the accident.
Press reports said police had detained demonstrators among crowds marching towards Istanbul's central Taksim Square in Beyoğlu, a district on the city's European side.
Video footage shared by unionist news site Sendika showed a melee between police officers and members of the revolutionary left-wing People's Liberation Party (HKP) marching in the nearby district of Beşiktaş. Around 20 people have reportedly been detained.

— sendika.org (@sendika_org) May 1, 2019
Secularist newspaper Cumhuriyet reported demonstrators had also been detained near Taksim Square and in the Şişli district.
Taksim Square holds great symbolic importance as a gathering point for political demonstrations, and has been the scene of some of Turkey's most significant protests, as well as some of its most tragic.
Unidentified gunmen opened fire on left-wing demonstrators who gathered in the square on May 1, 1977, killing 37 people.
Successive Turkish government have placed strict controls on demonstrations in the square since then. These were relaxed in 2010, but the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government tightened restrictions again after a nationwide wave of anti-government protests was triggered by demonstrations around the square in 2013.
Dozens of people were detained as they attempted to reach Taksim Square in each of the last three Workers' Day celebrations, Turkish secularist news site Bianet reported.
This year police again placed large barricades on the streets leading to Taksim Square, leaving it almost completely deserted and preventing some from reaching their workplaces, left-wing daily Sözcü reported.
Thousands, including political parties, football supporters' groups, and women's and LGBTQI associations, gathered in a marketplace in another Istanbul district, Bakırköy, which is the city's government-approved site for demonstrations this year.
Workers' Day celebrations took place around the country, with tens of thousands reported at the gathering in Tandoğan Square in the centre of Turkey's capital city, Ankara.
The demonstrations in Ankara reportedly included vocal backing of the Kurdish political cause, including calls of support for Leyla Güven, a deputy for the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), whose partial hunger strike reached its 175th day on Wednesday.
Güven and other HDP deputies have been striking in protest at the conditions of Abdullah Öcalan, the leader of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has fought the Turkish state for Kurdish self-rule since 1984.
Support for Güven and the hunger strikers was also on display in Diyarbakır, the largest city in Turkey's mainly Kurdish southeast, where Workers' Day demonstrations were held at the Istasyon square.
The crowds chanted "political prisoners are our honour" and "Leyla Güven is our honour" at the demonstration, which was attended by lawmakers from the HDP and main opposition Republican People's Party, as well as representatives from several of the country's largest union federations.
Turkey's first large-scale May Day celebrations of Turkey took place in Taksim Square with the participation of 20,000 people in 1976, Bianet news site reported.
Last year, the İstanbul Directorate General of Security announced that 84 people were detained in relation with the day.
In 2017, 165 people who attempted to take to Taksim Square were detained after Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu announced that Labor Day would not be celebrated in the location.
In 2016, the Governorship of İstanbul closed all roads leading to Taksim Square. Celebrations were held at Istanbul's Bakırköy district instead and five people were detained. Meanwhile, 52 people attempting to reach Taksim were taken into custody.
Governor of Ankara bans May 1 march

As the National Corn Growers Association meets for its Corn Congress in Washington, D.C., this week, the group has weighed in with a letter late last week to Renata Hesse, a deputy assistant attorney general in the antitrust division at DOJ regarding the Dow-DuPont merger.
Dow and DuPont are wading through the regulatory approval of a $130 billion merger that would lead to potentially three different divisions, including an agricultural spin off of a combined seed and chemical company that would have about $19 billion in annual revenues combined.
NCGA President Chip Bowling, who signed the letter for the corn growers, noted the merger and others like it are going on in the middle of some challenging times for farmers. The letter cited USDA figures showing farm income has fallen 55% since 2013 while debt-to-asset ratios are rising.
NCGA's board of directors brought in experts to discuss the potential impact of the Dow-DuPont merger to examine areas where Dow and DuPont overlap and could lead to some future concentration issues as well. NCGA also wanted to know the benefits for farmers from the merger and steps that could be taken to avoid adverse effects on input pricing.
Among the top concerns, NCGA stated to Justice officials that "We are concerned with increased seed market concentration resulting from this merger." The group's analysis stated the merged company would not have a concentration problem in the herbicide or insecticide markets, based on an index used for such measures called the Herfindahl-Herschman Index. However, the H-H Index scores conclude that the Dow-DuPont merger would lead to high market concentration in the seed-corn market.
"This increase in market concentration does cause us significant concern that seed industry competition could be diminished as a result of this merger," NCGA wrote. "We would ask the Department to carefully evaluate the seed market impacts to determine whether remedies should be applied that could ensure healthy competition within the corn seed market."
NCGA did state that "Synergy and innovation stemming from the merger can benefit farmers." The group stated that DuPont-Pioneer's strength is in germplasm development and seed distribution while Dow has strong development in the trait side of things in biotechnology. So while NCGA is concerned about concentration, the corn growers also see some strength in what Dow and DuPont might be able to do together in the seed sector. Dow and DuPont combined might also be able to offset some of the dominance by Bayer and Syngenta in the chemical markets as well.
NCGA's letter also cited the global problems facing market access and price for seed and chemical businesses. Companies face an increasing array of hurdles to get a new seed trait or chemical to the market. Thus, it demands larger capital requirements for companies just to be in these businesses.
"These issues may not be directly on?point with the Department's merger analysis, but these issues are certainly relevant to the global business environment driving consolidation within the agribusiness sector," NCGA noted.

In his tiny living room, he sparred with two men in their forties, he moved with grace and ease. He moved around them like a dragon, appearing and disappearing. His energy expanding and contracting. He was like a cat toying with a mouse. As an experienced martial artist, I could see that the two men were attempting to attack him with vigor and intent, but were having no effect.
Mind you, at the time, he was 93.
That was my introduction to this man, this master of qigong and baguazhang.
Since that time, I have visited and trained with him frequently during my times in Beijing. In 2007 I brought a group of students to study with him. I learned many valuable lessons from him not only in bagua, qigong, and clinical work, but also in how to live with heart, to live fully, and to share openly.
Martially, he never taught circle walking or prescribed forms. He taught principles of movement and energetics and the adaptability of techniques.
His Wuji Qigong was the same. He taught individual movements that could be blended together in free-form. Wuji Qigong had a multi-pronged approach. Each posture had health applications for the practitioner, direct martial application, and clinical applications for tuina.
As a devout Catholic, he shared his heart with all around him. As a double monkey, he was quick witted, mischievous, and liked by all who met him.
I hope that I may honor his memory by the continuance of the lessons learned, transmissions given, and lineage passed on.
He will be remembered fondly.

Every year Ostrava, the third largest city in the Czech republic hosts the NATO-days. A two-day (or five including the arrival and departure days) event which draws visitors and airplanes from all of the world.
In 2001 the NATO days started as a small event on a Friday afternoon at a festival area in the heart of Ostrava. The only flying aspect that year was a Bell-412 from the Czech Police. In 2003 the event moved to today's location; the airport Ostrava-Mosnov. Over the following years the event grew year by year and nowadays it is one of Europe's largest airshows which drew over 135.000 spectators this year.
Although the overall line-up of aircraft on the static and show was very impressive, the two Romanian MiG-21's were certainly one of the highlights on this year's event. The MiG-21 has a history on Ostrava. It was stationed at Ostrava for many years until the reorganization of the Czech Air Force in the 90's. In September 2016 is was exactly 24 years ago that the last MiG-21's from 82. SSLt left Ostrava for the last time. It took exactly 24 years for the MiG-21 to make its return to Ostrava.


Wagner, who held the same position at Dortmund before joining Huddersfield in 2015, left the club by mutual consent on 14 January.
Huddersfield are bottom of the Premier League on 11 points - 10 adrift of safety - with 15 games remaining.
Siewert's first game in charge will be at home to Everton on 29 January.
The club announced the appointment on Twitter with a video of a Manchester City fan from Wakefield, who was mistaken by TV for Siewert during Sunday's game at the John Smith's Stadium, taking a phone call in the manager's office.
"Not now, Martin from Wakefield," says the German, adding: "Hi, I am Jan. I am really happy to be the new head coach of Huddersfield Town."
Mark Hudson took temporary charge for Sunday's defeat by Manchester City.
Terriers chairman Dean Hoyle said: "We enjoyed tremendous success under our previous head coach, David Wagner, and we've subsequently appointed a new head coach that bears many similarities to him; a young, aspirational German from Borussia Dortmund II.
Hoyle says the club have "succession plans in place for our key roles" and had followed Siewert's career "with interest".
He added: "Given David's success at Huddersfield Town, we knew that it was prudent to look to the future in case an offer came in that he couldn't refuse. David was fully aware that we were undertaking this work - you must prepare for the future.
"Jan's name came to our attention in his previous role as assistant manager and Under-19 coach at VfL Bochum. We first spoke with him over two years ago and we've kept in communication since.
Hoyle also said that Siewert has turned down several approaches to leave Dortmund, but "jumped at the opportunity" to join the Premier League club.
"He believes in our ethos and likes what he knows about Huddersfield Town, which made me very proud," added Hoyle.
Former Huddersfield captain Peter Clarke says the club need to be realistic and the appointment will have been made knowing they may be playing in the Championship next season.
"He is someone who is young fresh, energetic and has different ideas and it's a case of implementing those ideas as soon as he can," Clarke told BBC Radio 5 live.
"It is a very tough period and maybe they have one eye on next year.
"They have employed the new manager to get his ideas across and work towards a really successful season and have good go to get back in the Premier League should the worse happen come May."
