Keynote Address: The Secrets of Economic Indicators
Bernard Baumohl
Chief Global Economist | The Economic Outlook Group
Using real-world examples and stories, Mr. Baumohl illuminates every U.S. and foreign indicator that matters. He will discuss where to find them, what they look like, what the insiders know about their track records and exactly how to interpret them. Nobody can predict the future with certainty, but The Secrets of Economic Indicators will get you as close as humanly possible. This enlightening presentation will address key questions including: When will we see a recovery in jobs, consumer spending, and housing; Where are interest rates, oil prices and inflation headed? Which countries will be the leaders and laggards in the post-crises global economy? What are the greatest economic and geopolitical threats we face --- and what impact will they have on economic growth should any erupt?
9:35 - 10:35am

Supporting Clients Through the Audit of Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure
Martin Mazin
Partner | KPMG LLP
During this session, we will provide an overview of the relevant standards and guidance on auditing fair value measurements and disclosures contained in financial statements. The session will leverage actual PCAOB comments to help the audience gain a better appreciation of the audit documentation requirements, in particular, as it relates to fair value measurements. In addition, the presentation will provide helpful recommendations for steps that can be taken during the valuation engagement, which could mitigate the time and effort required during the audit review process.
1:30 - 3:00pm
The Absurdity of CAPM
Pablo Fernandez, Ph.D.
Professor of Finance | IESE Business School
The CAPM is an absurd model because its assumptions and its predictions/conclusions have no basis in the real world. We will see some of the vast amount of information and research that we have that permits us to conclude that the CAPM does not "explain facts or events", nor does it describe the past, present, or future state of something. As will be seen, users of the CAPM make many illogical errors valuing companies, accepting/rejecting investment projects, evaluating fund performance, pricing goods and services in regulated markets, calculating value creation.
Value Allocations in Complex Capital Structures
Charles B. Higgins, CFA
Director | CBIZ Valuation Group
This case study driven session will cover the methodologies utilized to allocate total value in companies with complex capital structures, including structures that consist of convertible debt and multiple classes of equity. Methods discussed will include the option pricing method, the probability-weighted expected returns method, and the hybrid method.
3:30 - 4:30pm
Beyond CAPM - New Developments in Cost of Capital
Roger J. Grabowksi, FASA
Managing Director | Duff & Phelps
CAPM predicts that differences in returns on stocks are a function of differences in beta estimates. But researchers have found that variation in returns is not explained by differences in market betas. It is quite clear that the CAPM is neither a theory nor a model because it does not "explain facts or events", nor does it "describe the past, present, or future state of something". Researchers have found that differences in returns are explained by a "zoo of new variables" and multiple betas (such as hypothesized by APT). Our theoretical controversies are about how discount rates are formed…. Theories are in their infancy…." Further research has found that returns on common stocks are not normally distributed. Consequently, the central limit theorem does not hold, negating mean-variance finance as we know it (i.e., negates CAPM, APT, Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model).
What should we as practitioners do? Are there better ways to estimate beta that are supportable and practical for real world application? Is there a more robust model for cost of capital estimation? In the end, do the results of any "new" model really give me a "better" estimate of the cost of capital than we get from MCAPM or Build-up method? In this session we will explore this research, better ways of estimating betas, the IPCPL and the consequences for developing cost of capital estimates.
The Valuation of Complex FLPs
Bruce A. Johnson, ASA
President | Munroe, Park & Johnson, Inc.
Adopting a more analytical method for valuing FLPs using the income and market approaches allows appraisers to more accurately and objectively determine value. As professional methodology has advanced, there are certain types of partnerships that may be considered complicated. This webinar will focus on valuing complex FLPs including high debt FLPs, multiple asset FLPs, oil and gas FLPs and non-income producing FLPs using case studies. In addition, the speaker will share his opinion on issues such as how to handle the FLPs that own privately held stock, stacked discounts with multiple partnership interests, venture capital funds and promissory notes.
Professional Standards & Regulatory Update
Drew Dorweiler, ASA, MBA, CPA/ABV, CBV, CVA, CFE, RICS
Managing Partner | Dartmouth Partners Limited
Adam M. Smith, ASA
Technical Writer / Managing Director | International Valuation Standards Council / PricewaterhouseCoopers
This session will address regulatory changes and developments from a number of organizations including the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC). We will also review the latest trends and developments in professional valuation standards and regulatory outlook focusing on The Appraisal Foundation and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
4:35 - 5:35pm
Value What? What Value?
Richard Wise, FASA, CPA, FCA, MCBA, FRICS, FCBV, CFF, CVA
Partner | MNP LLP
Gilbert E. Matthews, CFA
Chairman and Senior Managing Director | Sutter Securities Incorporated
In this session Richard Wise of ASA's College of Fellows and Gil Matthews will discuss the two most common standards of value on which members of our profession are called upon to opine. Richard will examine the "fair market value" standard of value and provide an in-depth analysis of each of the several components of this standard, with specific reference to the relevant case law. Gil will discuss "fair value" for purposes of shareholder dissent and oppression, how it differs from fair market value, and the impact of recent court decisions. As will be demonstrated in their presentations, "fair value" for statutory appraisal has a totally different meaning from both "fair market value" and "fair value" for financial reporting under GAAP.
September 13

With the IRS having proposed to greatly restrict the use of DLOC and DLOM in family controlled businesses for estate, gift, and GST purposes, are we seeing the beginning of the end of discounts? What effect would the proposed regulations have if they become effective as-is? And what can we, as individuals and as a profession, do to influence the direction of the IRS in this area? Join William H. Frazier, ASA, and John D. Russell, JD, as they walk through the proposal and address these critical questions.
8:00 - 10:00am

10:30am - 12:00pm
Adjusting Betas for Leverage – What is the Best Method?
Pablo Fernandez, Ph.D.
Professor of Finance | IESE Business School
We will analyze 7 alternative relationships between the levered and the unlevered beta proposed in the literature. The relationships depend on the magnitude of the value of tax shields according to 7 alternative valuation theories. Only one of the relationships provides us with sensible results. The other six provide inconsistent results.
What Appraisers Need to Know Before Rendering a Fairness Opinion
H. H. Sean Wee
Partner | Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP

Using Statistics to Quantify Lost Profit Damages
Michael A. Crain, DBA, CPA, ABV, CFA
Principal | The Financial Valuation Group
G. William Kennedy, PhD., CPA/ABV
Managing Director | Berkeley Research Group, LLC
This session will feature materials from a chapter written by Drs. Crain and Kennedy for an upcoming text on Calculation of Lost Profits Damages-Theory and Practice edited by Everett Harry and Jeff Kinrich. The session will use case study examples to illustrate the many complications and pitfalls that can be encountered when using statistical analysis to quantify lost profit damages, including:
So what is this but-for analysis all about? Detecting trends in data and deviations from trend considering single data series and paired observations.
Hammer, screwdriver, saw; which tool do I use? Model development and variable selection. Discuss the different types of models available; simple and multiple regression, time series, etc. and examples of when each might be used.
Are your results statistically significant? No really, are they? The meaning and interpretation of the various regression statistics and coefficients, statistical significance and explanatory power of models.
Let me ask you again; are your results statistically significant? Lions, Tigers, and Bears, OH MY! Hetroskedasticity, serial correlation, and multicollinearity in your model may render your models unreliable. How they impact your models; how to detect and how to correct.
1:00 - 2:30pm
Variable WACC/Capital Structure Framework – Design and Implementation
John A. Taylor, ASA, CMC
Managing Director | Houlihan Lokey Financial Advisors
Yuka Itami, CFA
Senior Vice President | Houlihan Lokey Financial Advisors
WACC is commonly derived based upon considering historical subject or industry/comparable data. However, what if market or subject conditions represent anomalous or non-sustainable conditions relative to capital structure or rates of return? Regardless of whether the observed conditions are caused by internal or external factors, it may be relevant to consider capital structure, as well as costs of debt and equity, upon the return to a "normalized" level. This presentation will address potential symptoms of abnormality, considerations and potential informative analyses as well as designing and implementing a variable Capital Structure/WACC model.

Quantifying the Impact of Economic Environment on Business Performance and Value
Ashok B. Abbott, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Finance | West Virginia University
Businesses are fundamentally dependent on their economic environment. A healthy flow of inputs and outputs is critical for the business to survive and thrive. Quantifying the role and impact of macroeconomic factors (GDP, inflation, population, cost of capital, disposable income, unemployment, etc.) is critical in evaluating the relative contribution of economic environment (passive) and management (active) to success or failure of the business. This session clarifies the distinction between correlation and causality, introduces quantitative techniques used to establish causality, and to measure the elasticity of business revenues to macroeconomic factors. This analysis has wide applications in valuation/litigation arena.

It Ain't Broke: The Past, Present, and Future of Venture Capital
This article presents a selective history of the U.S. venture capital (VC) industry, a discussion of the current state of the market, and some predictions about where the market is going. There is no doubt that the U.S. venture capital industry has been very successful. The VC model has provided an efficient solution to a difficult problem-that of enabling people with promising ideas but often limited track records to raise capital from outside investors. A large fraction of IPOs, including many of the most successful, have been funded by venture capitalists, and the U.S. VC model has been copied around the world.

Day 72 - Avignon of Popes and Palaces
... rental about 3:00 for a light snack after three hours of touring. We then walked the grounds and hillside forest area next to the property which provided a great view of the surrounding areas. We gathered some kindling for a fire in the fireplace of our rental. The old stone cottage is pretty cool in the evening and a fire in the living room feels great.

The Three Castles
... three castles. A group of people wanted to visit one that was just right for them. The first castle they went to was really really windy. They couldn't hear each other over the sound of the wind, and it was blowing in all directions. They moved on to the second castle. It was too noisy. There were people everywhere making loud noises, and there was too much partying. So they went to the third castle. ...
... The name Tarascon came from a legend about a monster called the Tarasque. This monster lived in the river and it it often surfaced to eat boats and eat people. The people begged Saint Martha to help them, so she came and subdued the beast using a cross. Once the beast was subdued, she leashed it and led the monster to the townspeople and the townspeople killed the monster using knives and glaives. ...

Greece does not exist anymore
BRUSSELS – Belgium – The head of the EU's Central Bank, Jean-Claude Trichet, has ordered that Greece forfeits their name as well as their sovereign status.
"From now on the former country of Greece will only be known as Sector 17," Trichet explained to the EU parliament on Wednesday.
As well as losing its sovereign status, the former nation of Greece will also be owned by Germany (Sector 1) and will be used as a glorified holiday camp for its citizens.
"We use that place to go to when we need some sun and sea. It's a pretty useless place otherwise," Gunther Mathias, a German holidaymaker told the Berlin Times.
The unfortunate purchase by Germany (Sector 1) was the result of Sector 17 defaulting on its huge loans whilst juggling a 500 billion euro deficit. It now has a credit rating below Montenegro.
"We gave them the money. They didn't pay. We own their country now. It's really that simple," an EU official told French (Sector 2) newspaper, Le Figaro, yesterday.
And what of the poor old former Greeks, who have effectively been emasculated?
"When the Germans come, we provide them with fresh towels, mezze and ouzo. If we do that, our masters look after us. We are their pets. It is lucky that they let us live," Stavros Constantinos, a restaurant owner from Rhodes told the island's local news station.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1291218/Muslim-pupils-taken-music-lessons-Islam-forbids-playing-instrument.html (via)
"Muslim pupils are being withdrawn from music lessons because some Islamic beliefs forbid followers learning an instrument.
State schools are thought to have allowed hundreds of pupils to stop having classes despite music being part of the compulsory National Curriculum.
Headteacher Eileen Ross said some parents 'don't want children to play musical instruments and they don't have music in their homes'.
'For goodwill I allow that parent to withdraw their child from all music but I am in fact denying the child the opportunity that the other children in the class have,' she told BBC London News.
Some Muslims believe that playing musical instruments is forbidden in the same way that alcohol is banned.
Parents have no automatic right to withdraw their children from subjects such as music, although legal exemptions exist for religious and sex education."

Hi, I'm in town from London UK for a couple of weeks in June. 31-year-old male, probably around 3.5 standard but would love to have a hot with anyone of any standard whilst i'm out there. Happy to play a match or just to rally. Early morning is probably best but let me know if something else suits you. Looking forward to hearing from you. Daniel

Bird's Eye View of Toronto, looking northwest, ca. 1900-1925. Photo by Frank W. Micklethwaite from the Library and Archives Canada (PA-032103).
St. James' Cathedral has been called "Toronto's oldest skyscraper." Over 300 feet tall, its Gothic spire dwarfed all buildings around it, a fitting beacon for the staunchly moralistic Victorian Age. The church was surpassed in height by Old City Hall's own 339-foot clock tower in 1899, and would remain among the city's 10 tallest buildings as late as 1968. For workmen maintaining the steeple's clock, located just below the green copper roofline, the clock face was reached by climbing 280 steep wooden steps, and offered an outstanding view of the city below.

Forensic dogs tapped to find ancient remains
Published on July 30th, 2012 | by Admin
0The U-550 – located using side-scan sonar – is currently listing to its side in deep water approximately 70 miles south of Nantucket. ??Sonar operator Garry Kozak told reporters he spotted the the 252-foot submarine after two days of meticulous searching.
The U-550 was cruising off the east coast of the United States back on April 16, 1944, when it torpedoed the gasoline tanker SS Pan Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania was headed to the UK with 140,000 barrels of gasoline, along with a protective convoy of three ships – the USS Joyce, USS Gandy and USS Peterson.

LOS ANGELES—An old name and a new one have circled into the Los Angeles Lakers' off-season plans.
A well-known Orlando Magic centre has resurfaced as a trade possibility for the Lakers — welcome back to the fray, Dwight Howard — and so has Steve Nash, the veteran point guard most recently with the Phoenix Suns.
The Lakers are trying to land Nash, though it would have to be via trade and not free agency because they can offer him only $3 million next season, the "mini" mid-level exception.
The Lakers could try to acquire him via the $9 million traded-player exception they received from the Lamar Odom trade last season. Trade exceptions are hard to explain, but the Lakers would have to entice the Suns to sign Nash for $9 million in the first season of a new contract and then trade him to the Lakers for a draft pick.
Nash, a free agent after spending the last eight seasons in Phoenix, has already been offered a three-year deal with the Toronto Raptors for about $36 million.
Nash would have huge financial impact off the court in Toronto
Raptors make offer to Landry Fields as part of Nash chess game
Nash, 38, made $11.7 million last season. The New York Knicks are also trying to sign the Canadian guard, who carries a pass-first reputation and solid touch from three-point range.
Nash averaged 12.5 points and 10.7 assists last season for the Suns, his 16th in the NBA.
Orlando is considering a slew of trades for its unhappy centre, who has been rumored to go to too many places to count since last season began.
But the Lakers have a growing list of concerns about Howard if they are to trade Andrew Bynum for him, according to a person with knowledge of the team's thinking.
How's that bulging disk in Howard's back, the one that required surgery and forced him to miss the playoffs?
Will Howard actually sign a contract extension after indicating privately he does not want to play for the Lakers? They're reluctant to accept a trade for him without getting more years tacked on to the one he has left for $19.5 million.
The Lakers currently have no desire to take back additional salary in a trade for Howard. The Magic want any trade partner to absorb small forward Hedo Turkoglu (two more years, $23.8 million) or shooting guard Jason Richardson (three more years, $18.6 million). Turkoglu is 33 years old. Richardson is 31.
Finally, Orlando would have to make a financial commitment as well. Bynum wants assurance he is not a one-season rental. He has one more year and $16.1 million remaining on his contract. The Magic better be prepared to pay him now . . . or lose him in 12 months.

Google released Android for Intel based ChromeBooks. AND CrossOver for Android installed and ran on a Google ChromeBook. More importantly, we were able to install the Steam Client into CrossOver for Android and run LIMBO and other games. MORE IMPORTANTLY, we have DirectX 9 support, keyboard support, mouse support, and sound support today. Codeweavers are staring at a Leprechaun riding on the back of a Unicorn while taking a picture of a UFO. You can run CrossOver through Android on a ChromeBook running a Windows based game launched from the Steam client.
In May, 2016, Google announced they were bringing Google Play (the most popular app store in the world) to Chromebooks. This meant you could download and use Android apps, so you can make a Skype call, work with Office files and be productive offline -- or take a break with games like Minecraft, Hearthstone or Clash of Clans. The same apps that run on phones and tablets can now run on Chromebooks without compromising their speed, simplicity or security. This is good for users and great for developers - in addition to phones and tablets, they will be able to easily bring their apps to laptops. And all this is built on top of Chrome OS, so users will continue to have everything they love in their Chromebooks.

text: As Super Bowl Ads Arrive Early, So Does Criticism Coke, Volkswagen catching flak for spots By John Johnson, Newser Staff Posted Jan 31, 2013 1:10 PM CST 28 comments Comments As Super Bowl Ads Arrive Early, So Does Criticism Coke's Super Bowl ad. (YouTube) Mercedez-Benz has Kate Upton washing a car. (YouTube) The Volkswagen ad. (YouTube) 1 of 3 (Newser) – It used to be that people actually had to wait for the game to watch the Super Bowl ads, but as the New York Times points out today, those days are long gone for Madison Avenue. Most companies roll out the spots, or versions of them, on YouTube and social media to generate early buzz. Some talkers, for better or worse, this year: Coke: The company has an ad about a race in the desert (viewers can vote on who wins) complete with an Arab and stubborn camel. It's "racist, portraying Arabs as backward and foolish camel jockeys, and they have no chance to win in the world," says the president of the Muslim Institute for Interfaith Studies. It and other groups are demanding that Coke pull or alter it before Sunday, notes the Hollywood Reporter. See it here. Volkswagen: It, too, is being accused of racism for a spot that features a white office worker talking in a Jamaican accent throughout, reports Reuters. See it here. Mercedes-Benz: Its ad featuring Kate Upton washing a car, or at least supervising, already has gotten more than 5 million views on YouTube, reports the AP. See it here. Today.com has more of this year's buzzy ads here.

The Pokémon franchise arrived in Brazil on May 10, 1999, with the broadcast of Pokémon, Eu Escolho Você! during a morning TV program called Eliana & Alegria in RecordTV. Nintendo announced on January 10, 2015 that they will cease distribution of all consoles and video games due to high tariffs.
Pokémon video games
All Pokémon games have been available to Brazilian customers in English. However, as of January 2015, Nintendo's licensed distributors had decided to officially cease trade in the Brazilian market due to the on-going significantly high taxation tariffs on imported electronic goods, especially as direct competition recently decided to open manufacturing plants within the country to lift some of these tariffs.
Distribution events
There have been official events for Pokémon distribution in some Brazilian cities for Jirachi in 2010, Celebi in 2011, Keldeo in 2012, Meloetta and the shiny creation trio in 2013 and a shiny Gengar and Diancie in 2014. As of January 2015, future events are now up in the air since Pokémon games are to be available in the Brazilian market in limited quantities as Nintendo lost its mainstream distributor in Brazil.
Pokémon anime
Pokémon started airing on RecordTV on May 10, 1999. It aired daily in the morning. A few months later, it also began to air on Cartoon Network Brazil. Both channels noticed the great success that they had in their hands, and after several reruns of the first season, the second season began to air on both channels, first on RecordTV, and then on Cartoon Network starting the week after.
The second season had also high ratings, but was not as successful as the first. This was due to the broadcast of the Digimon series on a rival channel of Record, Rede Globo, in the same time slot. Eventually, RecordTV acquired seasons three and four as well. Around this time, in 2002, the success of Pokémon on RecordTV led another network, SBT, to buy the rights to the first three movies in partnership with Warner Bros., making the films a well-known part of SBT's film rotation.
Since RecordTV had aired its episodes in a short period of time, it started to rerun episodes frequently, a fact which lowered its overall audience ratings. Because of this, Rede Globo purchased the rights to season five in 2003. Pokémon was so successful in the mornings on Globo that it also acquired the sixth and seventh seasons. When they too ran out of new episodes, Globo reran them a few times and eventually took the show out of its morning schedule.
In 2008, RedeTV! needed a temporary cartoon to fill a space which would be taken by a new show, and acquired the first season to do so. However, Pokémon was so successful that RedeTV! acquired other seasons to air at night on the channel at 6pm. In 2009, RedeTV! was the first to air season eleven, even before Cartoon Network, which usually is the first to air new episodes. Seasons 12-18 premiered on Cartoon Network Brazil.
On May 12, 2016, the nineteenth season premiered on Pokémon TV. The first 28 episodes debuted on the service, but starting with the twenty-ninth, new episodes are now being shown on Cartoon Network.
Pokémon Generations premiered on February 10, 2017 on The Pokémon Company International's Portuguese YouTube channel in Brazilian Portuguese. The last episode of this series is scheduled for June 9, 2017.
Starting on January 1, 2010, previous seasons of the anime debuted on Tooncast, a sister network of Cartoon Network.
Pokémon movies
Brazilian networks aired
The Brazilian dub of Pokémon is based on the English dubs by 4Kids Entertainment and Pokémon USA, Inc.
When Pokémon arrived in Brazil, the Latin American distributor of Pokémon (Swen and Televix) led it to be dubbed by Master Sound Studios in São Paulo. Master Sound did a good job, despite some blunders, and chose a great voice cast for the protagonists. After the anime was shown to be successful in Brazil and around the world, the distributors brought the second season, this time dubbed by BKS. BKS committed more errors than Master Sound did and even changed the voices of the Narrator and Meowth. In addition, many voice actors in the series refused to dub at BKS and it took a lot of work to convince the original cast to come back.
The following year, Swen and Televix decided to change the dubbing studio again, especially after the controversy caused by BKS's dubbing of Sailor Moon R. The new studio that dubbed the third season of Pokémon was Parisi Video, also from São Paulo. Parisi Video went on to dub the fourth, fifth, and sixth seasons as well. Parisi brought the entire cast of the series back and overall produced a good-quality dub, but the company went bankrupt and was left unable to pay its employees. Thus, yet another dubbing studio had to be found.
Centauro took over the anime from the seventh season onward. Although they brought the main voice cast back, they changed the voices of almost all the supporting cast and extras. The dub was very well-received and they won the Prêmio Yamato in 2006 for Best Redub or Sequel. Centauro also dubbed the spin-off series Pokémon Chronicles, which had few translation errors, but changed the voices of all the supporting characters again.
Centauro has also dubbed the eighth season and onwards. While the eighth season had many translation errors and another cast change, the ninth season restored many older voice actors and made many improvements to the translation quality. Centauro was also the first studio to dub both the movies and the anime, starting with Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.
Starting with Pokémon, a Série: XYZ and Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel, Pokémon will be dubbed in Rio de Janeiro at MG Studios. The original actors from São Paulo were completely replaced, including those that have been dubbing the anime since the first season. Pokémon will be MG's first non-live action production. Part of the reason why the dubbing changed cities is because Fábio Lucindo, Ash's voice actor, moved to Portugal in 2015.[1] In January, Lucindo said that he and all the original actors would dub the movie at Centauro, likely due to the fact that Hoopa and the Clash of Ages is part of Kalos Quest.
The miniseries Pokémon Generations was also dubbed in Rio by MG Studios.
All of the Brazilian dub opening themes are translated versions of the North American ones. The first was sung by Jana Bianchi and became a great success at the time of the "Pokémon boom".
Pokémon 2.B.A. Master was released in Brazil in two versions: the English-language 2.B.A. Master, and a Portuguese-language translation entitled Pokémon: Para Ser um Mestre. A Portuguese-language translation of Totally Pokémon was also released, entitled Totalmente Pokémon.
The Pokémon the First Movie and Pokémon the Movie 2000 soundtracks were released in Brazil as well. The soundtracks were identical to the English releases, but with the corresponding Portuguese-language movie opening theme added as a bonus track. The third movie soundtrack was also released in Brazil, featuring the Portuguese-language songs from Totalmente Pokémon in place of the English ones, as well as the Portuguese opening theme for the film.
The score to the second movie was sold in Brazil as well.
Cast and crew
The Brazilian dub of Pokémon, despite changing dubbing studios several times, has maintained a fairly consistent voice cast, at least for the main characters. Some of the voice actors who have worked on the Brazilian dub of Pokémon include Fábio Lucindo, who provides the voice of Ash Ketchum, Márcia Regina, who provides the voice of Misty (and later Professor Juniper and directed the dub starting in BW), and Alfredo Rollo, who provides the voice of Brock.
May is voiced by Tatiane Keplmair, who also voiced Sakura in her Johto appearances, Fennel, and later Skyla. May's brother, Max, is voiced by Tatiane's real-life brother, Thiago Keplmair (who would later return as Glenn and Kendrick). Another of Ash's traveling companions, Dawn, is voiced by Fernanda Bulara, who also voiced Sabrina and Whitney. Both of their mothers, Caroline and Johanna, are voiced by Denise Reis.
As of the Best Wishes series, Lucindo, who continues to voice Ash, took the direction of the dub. Cilan is voiced by Alex Minei, who previously voiced the Pokédex in Pokémon: Master Quest, Ben, Buck, and Roland. Iris is voiced by Agatha Paulita, while Trip is voiced by Felipe Zilse (who had previously voiced Volkner).
In the XY series, Serena is voiced by Michelle Giudice, who previously voiced the Kanto Fair Host, Clemont is voiced by Bruno Mello, who also voiced Sean and Keldeo, and Bonnie's voice actor is Jussara Marques, who previously voiced Audrey, Kathryn, and Shannon.
Jessie is voiced by Isabel Cristina de Sá. James is voiced by Márcio Araújo, and Meowth has been voiced by Armando Tiraboschi (regular voice actor) and Marcelo Pissardini (Orange Islands season only).
Gary Oak was voiced by Rodrigo Andreatto during the entire original series. Starting from Pokémon Chronicles, he has had several different voice actors, such as Marcelo Campos (SS015), Gabriel Noya (AG192), and Raphael Ferreira (DP045). Gary's grandfather, Professor Oak, was voiced by Wellington Lima until AG040. Starting from AG041, he has been voiced by Dráusio de Oliveira, who also provided his voice for Pokémon Chronicles. Another one of Ash's rivals, Paul, is voiced by Gabriel Noya.
Nurse Joy is voiced by Fátima Noya, Gabriel Noya's mother. Officer Jenny was voiced for the entire original series and part of the Advanced Generation series by Raquel Marinho. Gilmara Sanches took over the role starting from the eighth season and stayed until the Best Wishes series, when Marinho returned for the role. Gilmara also provided voices for Casey in Pokémon Chronicles, Solidad, Marian, and many minor appearances since season eight, as well as some Pokémon such as Squirtle and Eevee when their voices couln't be retained. She was also the dubbing director for the series from season seven to BW.
Tracey Sketchit is originally voiced by Rogério Vieira, however, Vagner Fagundes took this role since the Advanced Generation series, and also in Pokémon Chronicles. Letícia Quinto has voiced characters such as J, Marina, Erika and Duplica (in her second appearance). Fábio Moura provides the voices for the Pokédex (Kanto and Johto only) and the narrator. Luciana Baroli voices Zoey, and has been also the voice of Casey (original series only) and Flannery.
Sometimes in the earlier seasons, the English voices of some Pokémon couldn't be preserved, so their lines were rerecorded. Michel Di Fiori did the voices of Gastly and Mr. Mime, while Úrsula Bezerra took over as Totodile.
The first three movies, as well as Mewtwo Returns, were dubbed in Rio de Janeiro instead of São Paulo. Guilherme Briggs provided the voice of Mewtwo, while Márcio Simões temporarily replaced Meowth. Jirachi: Wish Maker was almost dubbed in Rio at the Dublamix studio, with Gustavo Nader as Ash, but only Priscila Amorim as Jirachi and Felipe Grinnan as Butler recorded in Rio.
After the dub moved completely to Rio de Janeiro, Charles Emmanuel began voicing Ash, Bruna Laynes landed the role of Serena, Yan Gesteira is providing the voice of Clemont, while Luiza Cesar voices his little sister Bonnie. José Augusto Sendim and Raphael Rosatto are the new voices of the narrator and the Pokédex, respectively. Jessie is now voiced by Flávia Saddy, James by Thiago Fagundes, and Meowth's new voice actor is Sérgio Stern. Other voices include Mariana Torres as Officer Jenny, Ronaldo Julio as Giovanni, Bruno Rocha as Lysandre, Luisa Palomanes as Nurse Joy, Hannah Buttel as Miette, and Matheus Perisse as Sawyer. In addition, Márcio Simões, who voiced Meowth in the first few movies, came back as Squishy. Mário Jorge Andrade (who voices Xerosic) directed the first 26 episodes before Felipe Drummond (who voices Alain) replaced him. Eduarda Ribeiro is the new translator.
In the Sun & Moon series, Mallow, known in Brazil as Lulu, will be dubbed by Hannah Buttel, who previously voiced Miette.
Pokémon manga
The first volume of the manga The Electric Tale of Pikachu was split into four monthly issues for translation and release in Brazil. These four issues were based on VIZ Media's English translation and included all of the edits which removed sexual content from the manga.
The Black & White chapter of Pokémon Adventures was published in Brazil by Panini Comics, beginning with Volume 43 released on September 22, 2014. Panini has stated that they will publish other story arcs of the manga if this one is successful.
Panini announced on March 2, 2016 they would publish both the Red, Green & Blue and the Yellow chapters of Pokémon Adventures. The first volume of Red, Green & Blue was released on October 10, 2016, and subsequent volumes released on a bimonthly schedule.
Pokémon Trading Card Game
Both English- and Portuguese-language cards for the Pokémon Trading Card Game are sold in Latin America and Brazil. Portuguese-language cards are recognized as tournament legal for Play! Pokémon.

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Westmorland, Earls of
WESTMORLAND, EARLS OF. Ralph Neville, 4th Baron Neville of Raby, and 1st earl of Westmorland (1364-1425), eldest son of John, 3rd Baron Neville, and his wife Maud Percy (see Neville, Family), was knighted by Thomas of Woodstock, afterwards duke of Gloucester, during the French expedition of 1380, and succeeded to his father's barony in 1388. He had been joint warden of the west march in 1386,and was reappointed for a new term in 1390. In 1391 he was put on the commission which undertook the duties of constable in place of the duke of Gloucester, and he was repeatedly engaged in negotiations with the Scots. His support of the court party against the lords appellant was rewarded in 1397 by the earldom of Westmorland. He married as his second wife Joan Beaufort, half-sister of Henry of Lancaster, afterwards Henry IV., whom he joined on his landing in Yorkshire in 1399. He already held the castles of Brancepeth, Raby, Middleham and Sheriff Hutton when he received from Henry IV. the honour and lordship of Richmond for life. The only rivals of the Nevilles in the north were the Percies, whose power was broken at Shrewsbury in 1403. Both marches had been in their hands, but the wardenship of the west marches was now assigned to Westmorland, whose influence was also paramount in the east, which was under the nominal wardenship of the young Prince John, afterwards duke of Bedford. Westmorland had prevented Northumberland from marching to reinforce Hotspur in 1403, and before embarking on a new revolt he sought to secure his enemy, surrounding, but too late, one of Sir Ralph Eure's castles where the earl had been staying. In May the Percies were in revolt, with Thomas Mowbray, earl marshal, and Archbishop Scrope. Westmorland met them on Shipton Moor, near York, on the 29th of May 1405, and suggested a parley between the leaders. By pretending accord with the archbishop, the earl induced him to allow his followers to disperse. Scrope and Mowbray were then seized and handed over to Henry at Pontefract on the 3rd of January. The improbabilities of this narrative have led some writers to think, in face of contemporary authorities, that Scrope and Mowbray must have surrendered voluntarily. If Westmorland betrayed them he at least had no share in their execution. Thenceforward he was busily engaged in negotiating with the Scots and keeping the peace on the borders. He did not play the part assigned to him by Shakespeare in Henry V., for during Henry's absence he remained in charge of the north, and was a member of Bedford's council. He consolidated the strength of his family by marriage alliances. His daughter Catherine married in 1412 John Mowbray, second duke of Norfolk, brother and heir of the earl marshal, who had been executed after Shipton Moor; Anne married Humphrey, first duke of Buckingham; Eleanor married, after the death of her first husband Richard le Despenser, Henry Percy, 2nd earl of Northumberland; Cicely married Richard, duke of York, and was the mother of Edward IV. and Richard III. The sons by his second marriage were Richard Neville, earl of Salisbury, William, Baron Fauconberg, George, Baron Latimer, Robert, bishop of Salisbury and then of Durham, and Edward, Baron Abergavenny. The earl died on the 21st of October 1425, and a fine alabaster tomb was erected to his memory in Staindrop church close by Raby Castle.
See J. H. Wylie, History of England under Henry IV. (4 vols., 1884-1898).
Ralph, 2nd earl of Westmorland (c. 1404-1484), the son of John, Lord Neville (d. 1423), succeeded his grandfather in 1425, and married as his first wife Elizabeth Clifford, daughter of Sir Henry Percy (Hotspur), thus forming further bonds with the Percies. The 3rd earl, Ralph Neville (1456-1499), was his nephew, and the son of John Neville, Lord Neville, who was slain at Towton. His grandson Ralph, 4th earl of Westmorland (1499-1550), was an energetic border warrior, who remained faithful to the royal cause when the other great northern lords joined the Pilgrimage of Grace. He was succeeded by his son Henry, 5th earl (c. 1525–1563).
Charles, 6th earl (1543–1601), eldest son of the 5th earl by his first wife Jane, daughter of Thomas Manners, 1st earl of Rutland, was brought up a Roman Catholic, and was further attached to the Catholic party by his marriage with Jane, daughter of Henry Howard, earl of Surrey. He was a member of the council of the north in 1569 when he joined Thomas Percy, 7th earl of Northumberland, and his uncle Christopher Neville, in the Catholic rising of the north, which had as its object the liberation of Mary, queen of Scots. On the collapse of the ill-organized insurrection Westmorland fled with his brother earl over the borders, and eventually to the Spanish Netherlands, where he lived in receipt of a pension from Philip II of Spain, until his death on the 16th of November 1601. He left no sons, and his honours were forfeited by his formal attainder in 1571. Raby Castle remained in the hands of the crown until 1645.
The title was revived in 1624 in favour of Sir Francis Fane (c. 1574–1629), whose mother, Mary Neville, was a descendant of a younger son of the first earl. He was created baron of Burghersh and earl of Westmorland in 1624, and became Lord le Despenser on his mother's death in 1626. His son Mildmay Fane, 2nd or 8th earl of Westmorland (c. 1602–1666), at first sided with the king's party, but was afterwards reconciled with the parliament. John Fane, 7th or 13th earl of Westmorland (1682?–1762), served under Marlborough, and was made in 1739 lieutenant-general of the British armies.
John Fane, 11th or 17th earl (1784–1859), only son of John, 10th earl, was known as Lord Burghersh until he succeeded to the earldom in 1841. He entered the army in 1803, and in 1805 took part in the Hanoverian campaign as aide-de-camp to General Sir George Don. He was assistant adjutant-general in Sicily and Egypt (1806–1807), served in the Peninsular War from 1808 to 1813, was British military commissioner to the allied armies under Schwarzenberg, and marched with the allies to Paris in 1814. He was subsequently promoted major-general (1825), lieutenant-general (1838) and general (1854), although the latter half of his life was given to the diplomatic service. He was British resident at Florence from 1814 to 1830, and British ambassador at Berlin from 1841 to 1851, when he was transferred to Vienna. In Berlin he had mediated in the Schleswig-Holstein question, and in Vienna he was one of the British plenipotentiaries at the congress of 1855. He retired in 1855, and died at Apthorpe House, Northamptonshire, on the 16th of October 1859. Himself a musician of considerable reputation and the composer of several operas, he took a keen interest in the cause of music in England, and in 1822 made proposals which led to the foundation in the next year of the Royal Academy of Music. His wife Priscilla Anne (1793–1879), daughter of William Wellesley-Pole, 3rd earl of Mornington, was a distinguished artist.
His published works include Memoirs of the Early Campaigns of the Duke of Wellington in Portugal and Spain (1820), and Memoir of the Operations of the Allied Armies under Prince Schwarzenberg and Marshal Blucher (1822).
Francis William Henry, 12th or 18th earl (1825–1891), fourth son of the preceding, was also a distinguished soldier. He entered the army in 1843 and served through the Punjab campaign of 1846; was made aide-de-camp to the governor-general in 1848, and distinguished himself at Gujrat on the 21st of February 1849. He went to the Crimea as aide-de-camp to Lord Raglan, and was promoted lieutenant-colonel in 1855. On his return to England he became aide-de-camp to the duke of Cambridge, and received the Crimean medal. The death of his elder brother in 1851 gave him the style of Lord Burghersh, and after his accession to the earldom in 1859 he retired from the service with the rank of colonel. He died in August 1891 and was succeeded by his son, Anthony Mildmay Julian Fane (b. 1859), as 13th earl.
