From the Editor

I hope this issue finds you and your families all safe and well during this pandemic. I am very honored with the appointment to editor of the Business Valuation Review. I would like to thank Ken Pia and the Business Valuation Committee for this opportunity. I would also like to thank Victor Jarosiewicz, Roger Grabowski, and Jay Fishman, all past editors, who have coached me and without whom this issue would not be possible. Thanks to Allyson King as well for continuing as Managing Editor and providing so much support through the last few months. My thanks would not be complete without a proper thank you to the editorial review board members and the reviewers that you see on the inside cover of this journal. Before taking on this role, I did not fully appreciate the extent of the Business Valuation Review's double-blind review process and the detail to which our reviewers vet submitted manuscripts. Our reviewers are some of the best and brightest in the profession and reviews are completed in a thorough and professional manner. Our reviewers provide insightful comments to authors based on their own training, research and experiences and provide the comments and insights that lead to an outstanding final product. This issue continues a much-heated debate over total beta and the size premium. I thank Keith Butler, Roger Grabowski, and Anas Aboulamer for their insightful perspectives on the topics. Also, thanks to Joseph Thompson and David Neuzil who provide a framework for testing terminal values which can lead to significant valuation errors.The last several months have brought us extraordinary change, some good, some bad. My condolences go out to all those who have lost friends or family or have otherwise been affected by Covid-19. The current pandemic has changed so much… I live in New Jersey and performed a management interview on March 16. My children's schools were already closed, and they were being instructed remotely. All NJ bars and restaurants were closed effective 8 pm that evening, and I have not performed an on-site management interview since then. By Monday, March 23, the S&P 500 index dropped to a low, down over 30% from December 31, 2019. Many were under mandatory stay at home orders by the end of March. We saw unemployment spike to its highest levels since the Depression, while many local businesses were shuttered. We have seen a resurgence in the stock market indices, but not all businesses have recovered the same way. Zoom (ticker ZM), which has been an amazing tool throughout this pandemic for meetings, interviews, depositions and trials, has seen its stock price soar over 500%, while local restaurants and gyms in my area remained closed and have just opened for inside services in the last few weeks. The pandemic has clearly affected all businesses, but not the same way.I recently saw a meme that read, “the first rule of 2021 is… you don't talk about 2020,” a reference to the 1999 film Fight Club. It may be nice to forget much of what has happened over the last six months, but regardless of our feelings, Covid-19 has had and is going to continue to have a significant impact on the way businesses operate, and in turn, the way we value them. So many factors will affect our valuations, like capacity limitations, state, local and federal regulations, the Payroll Protection Act and the impact of loan forgiveness, any further economic stimulus, and perhaps the risk of additional waves. Our objective at the Business Valuation Review is to:So much has changed in our world in such a short period of time. Much of this change will affect the way we as a profession work and do our work. I would like to make a call out to all the authors and would-be authors reading this to share their thoughts, theories and industry-specific case studies that may be of interest to us all and would contribute to our body of knowledge as a profession. When I started in this business, I read Shannon Pratt's Valuing a Business and the like, which provided a fantastic framework for valuing any business. However, I found myself turning to the Business Valuation Review when I had a novel type of business or perhaps a special situation where art or experience was required to compensate when science fell short. The current economic environment is full of such areas, and I would love to publish articles in these areas in future issues of the Business Valuation Review. Please enjoy the articles in this issue and consider submitting articles that may contribute to the practice of business valuation.Be well,Kyle Garcia

Thomas Jefferson’s Lives: Biographers and the Battle for History. Edited by Robert M. S. McDonald (Charlottesville, University of Virginia Press, 2019) 311 pp. $35.00 cloth and e-book

Thomas Jefferson’s Lives is the best single volume available today for historians to get a handle on how Jefferson studies has evolved. Starting with Jefferson himself, the volume moves forward in time, offering astute, original analyses of Jefferson’s major biographers.In her introduction to the volume, Barbara Oberg, the past General Editor of the Papers of Thomas Jefferson, acknowledges that Jefferson scholarship cannot evade Americans’ expectations of the man: “Each age creates its own Thomas Jefferson and adopts its own mythology about the ‘founding of the nation’” (3). Oberg’s introduction outlines how changing historical contexts inspired biographers from Jefferson’s time to ours to rethink his place in the American pantheon.The volume’s spirit is generous yet critical. The book’s first section, “Memory,” focuses on Jefferson’s nineteenth-century biographers. J. Jefferson Looney opens the volume with an examination of how Jefferson curated his papers to shape his legacy. In the second section, “Rivalry,” we learn from Nancy Isenberg and Joanne Freeman how biographers of Jefferson’s rivals Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton used Jefferson as their foil, much in the way that both are used by Jefferson’s biographers. The final section, “History,” traces the development of an academic understanding of Jefferson’s life, including insightful chapters about Dumas Malone and Merrill Peterson, Jefferson’s two most prominent twentieth-century biographers.1One of the valuable tensions in this volume is how to approach Jefferson. It is hard not to read this volume without admiring past biographers’ close readings of Jefferson’s words. In turn, the volume’s contributors demonstrate the rewards of reading Jefferson’s biographers closely. Yet textuality is always in tension with Jefferson as spirit, a person who, in Brian Steele’s words, “transcends time and place” (193).A related tension is between Jefferson’s image and the historical Jefferson. Peterson began his career with a dissertation written under Perry Miller, published as The Jeffersonian Image in the American Mind (New York, 1960), before undertaking his biography. Because Peterson denied Jefferson’s relationship with his enslaved mistress Sally Hemings, Francis Cogliano argues, Peterson’s own image has suffered. As a result, we overlook Peterson’s critique of Jefferson’s racism. An advocate of equality, Peterson offered a Jefferson that could speak for the civil-rights era.Another tension is balancing Jefferson’s public and private life. Since James Callender’s first published accusations about Jefferson and Hemings in the Richmond Recorder in 1802, Jefferson’s defenders have sought to downplay them. One approach was to ignore Jefferson’s private life, but Jefferson’s descendants sought to counter what they considered stains on his character by portraying a loving father and grandfather. Yet all families are complicated, Jan Lewis reminds us, in her discussion of Jefferson’s great-granddaughter Sarah N. Randolph’s romanticized biography.2 Reading Jefferson’s family’s words seriously, Lewis finds a father who was tough and demanding, and whose daughters craved attention and praise.We often imagine Jefferson’s domestic life from his retirement at Monticello as one in which he doted on his grandchildren, as Annette Gordon-Reed reminds us in her chapter about Fawn Brodie. Yet Jefferson the grandfather ignores Jefferson the father of a black and white family. That’s what made Brodie’s 1974 biography of Jefferson so important.3 Brodie ensured that Jefferson’s private life was not the property of his white heirs. Brodie, Gordon-Reed writes, was the first to take seriously evidence from Jefferson’s black descendants. Gordon-Reed laments that Brodie, dismissed by Malone and Peterson, did not live to see her conclusions vindicated.The volume concludes with Gordon Wood’s appraisal of Peter Onuf’s work. Having recently retired as the third Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation Professor at the University of Virginia (Malone and Peterson preceded him), Onuf, Wood writes, did not seek to build up nor to tear down Jefferson but instead used him as a lens into American political history. This approach is what made Onuf’s intellectual biography of Jefferson, Most Blessed of the Patriarchs: Thomas Jefferson and the Empire of the Imagination (New York, 2017), co-authored with Gordon-Reed, so important. If Gordon-Reed’s Pulitzer Prize-winning The Hemingses of Monticello (New York, 2008) illuminated Jefferson’s domestic world, Onuf understood Jefferson’s political world. Together, they demonstrated that the relationship between public and private, so long a tension in Jefferson studies, was essential to understanding Jefferson’s political theory.Because the contributors to Jefferson’s Lives are among today’s most influential Jefferson scholars, their chapters shed light not just on Jefferson studies past but also, when read attentively, on how today’s scholars situate themselves in a long conversation.

Transitions

I am writing this introduction in Manila, the Philippines—a country that has imposed one of the longest and strictest lockdowns in the world. COVID-19 has drastically affected my country in so many ways and this pandemic is the most difficult “stress-test” for governments in Asia and around the world. Scholars and policymakers are faced with the challenges of the multiple transitions to a post-pandemic world that will hopefully survive and thrive. A transition is also happening within Asian Politics & Policy. This is my maiden issue as the journal’s new Editor-in-Chief. I assume this position as an academic with two decades of experience as a comparative political scientist focusing on topics such as democratization, civil-military relations, electoral politics, strategic studies, and foreign policy. Having been with APP for the past 6 years as Senior Editor, it is a distinct honor and privilege to take over a journal that was well-maintained by its past editor, Professor Aileen Baviera. Under her stewardship, the journal acquired a credible and excellent reputation of publishing cutting-edge scholarship from “Asianists” around the world. What I observed is APP’s distinct orientation of providing space for the research outputs of the next generation of Asian scholars. I believe this was Professor Baviera’s personal vision for a journal she led for almost a decade. Her vision is my vision as well. In the next few issues, I plan to introduce new members to the APP Editorial Team. There will also be a new and more diverse Advisory Board for the journal that comprises established scholars as well as the most prolific and dynamic young academics in the field of political science, international relations, and policy studies from all around the world. They will guide the journal in maintaining the highest standards of academic publishing but also ensure that it contains research informed by the latest theoretical approaches, methodological innovations, and policy debates. I also plan to enhance the Praxis: Review of Policy Practice section of the journal to become an outlet for more policy-oriented research. Given that they will undergo a similar rigorous review process as original research articles, manuscripts published in Praxis will be given proper recognition as refereed publications but more focused on the evaluation, formulation, and examination of public policies in Asia. I am also launching a special series within Praxis, entitled: “Covid-19: Policy Responses from Asia.” This will feature policy-oriented papers that deal with how governments, markets, and societies in Asia have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic. To launch this series, Wei-ting Yen’s brilliant essay on Taiwan’s early effective management of the pandemic can hopefully stir debate and perhaps provide policy guidance to other countries in Asia and elsewhere. For this issue, APP has a varied array of research articles dealing on themes such as soft power, alliances, labor migration, ethnic politics, and anti-corruption reforms. China figures prominently in three of the six articles. Carminati examines how Thailand navigates the soft power projection of China compared to Japan while Fulton investigates how Saudi Arabia manages its participation in China’s Belt and Road Initiative with its alliance with the United States. This similar difficult balancing act between these rival superpowers is the topic of Kil’s paper on South Korea. The remaining papers deal with the role of ethnic identity politics in the evolution of Taiwan’s developmental state (He), the struggles faced by Indonesia’s anti-corruption agency against powerful interests (Umam & Head), and labor negotiations for Filipino migrant nurses (Cabanda). Together with the book and media reviews, I do hope APP readers will find this issue of great interest.

SETTING THE TONE FOR 2020

AbstractHappy New Year, and welcome to the first 2020 issue of ID. I sincerely hope that all of you found time to be with family and recharge yourselves over the holiday period. In past editorials, I've spoken about the value of taking downtime or scheduling time off for personal endeavors.

Sul fr. 49 Dg. (= 40 W.) di Ipponatte

[On fr. 49 Dg. (= 40 W.) by Hipponax] In the past many editors have emended the text of Hipponax’s fr. 49 Dg. (= 40 W.) with the aim of solving the problems it raises, also from a syntactical point of view. The present study, on the contrary, not only tries to prove that the text as given by Tzetzes’s manuscripts can be preserved, but also argues that the syntax is absolutely regular or rather elaborate so as to provide a comic effect together with the words used by the poet.

Series Introduction

Series Introduction Beth Buggenhagen, series editor This issue marks the debut of a new feature of Africa Today through which we highlight the work of our long-serving past editors who have recently retired from the journal and from their academic positions at Indiana University. Here, we reflect on their contributions to shaping the journal since it came to Indiana University Press in 1999. Editing a journal is often a labor of love, a service to the discipline in which time is borrowed from one's own scholarly work to edit, publish, and promote the work of colleagues moving the discipline forward in new directions. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of editors over the years, Africa Today has been a long-running journal in African studies; it was founded in 1954. We are thus publishing these interviews as we head into the seventieth anniversary of Africa Today, in 2024. An anniversary presents an opportunity to take stock and consider new initiatives. In this feature, we begin by acknowledging the clarity, rigor, and breadth that these former editors brought to the pages of the journal through their energetic and thoughtful editorial hand. In 1999, when Africa Today moved to from Lynne Rienner Publishers to Indiana University Press, a multidisciplinary team took up its editorship. The editors consisted of York Bradshaw, a sociologist, Gracia Clark, an anthropologist, John Hanson, a historian, and Ruth Stone, an ethnomusicologist. Their first volume arrived with a new cover, featuring the continent in vibrant hues of purple and gold, and a new heft, which came with additional pages reflecting an expanded focus, reshaping Africa Today as a venue for scholarly work from a broad range of disciplines in African Studies. From their first issue, the editorial practices of this group of scholars transformed Africa Today into a journal that would reflect the breadth of African studies by extending its reach beyond the social sciences to the arts and humanities. Throughout the years, the journal captured contemporary debates and offered fresh insights. Importantly, the editors enhanced Africa Today's status as an international journal that attracted and reflected the scholarship of intellectuals based on the continent and in the diasporas and elsewhere. In part, this scope can be attributed to the scholarly reach of each of these editors, enmeshed in academic collaborations on and off the African continent throughout their careers. In this issue, we recognize the editorship of Gracia Clark, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology. Dr. Clark edited Africa Today from 1999 [End Page 96] until 2007. Under her supervision, Africa Today published original, timely, thought-provoking research articles. Dr. Clark is interviewed by Dr. Sarah Monson, a linguistic anthropologist with a PhD in anthropology from Indiana University and a former student of Dr. Clark's. Dr. Monson researches Asante women's business strategies in Ghana's Kumasi Central Market. These interviews offer a window into intergenerational conversations about developments in African studies. They also offer a window into the individual careers of the editors and their impact on the field through their students. In subsequent issues, we shall feature interviews with Dr. Ruth Stone, who joined Africa Today as an editor in 1999, Dr. Maria Grosz-Ngaté, who joined Africa Today as an editor in 2002, and Drs. Eileen Julien and Patrick McNaughton, who joined Africa Today as editors in 2008. [End Page 97] Copyright © 2020 The Trustees of Indiana University

JFAR Editor's Message

As the new editor of the Journal of Forensic Accounting Research (JFAR), I will continue prior efforts set by the past editor, Professor Charles D. Bailey, to expand the journal's scope while simultaneously improving the quality and increasing the number of submissions to get ranking—the Impact Factor—for the JFAR. To accomplish this goal, I have commissioned several special issues on “fraud,” “non-fraud,” “behavioral,” and “digital forensics.” Calls for papers for these special topics for the JFAR's consideration and publication are posted on the websites of the American Accounting Association (AAA) and the Forensic Accounting Section (FAS). We are reaching out to our global colleagues to consider submitting to this fast-track review for special topics of the JFAR. Please contact the issues' editors for more detailed information about special issues with your suggestions, comments, and proposals. Below is a synopsis of the call for these special topics:I have attended several conferences nationally and internationally this year in promoting the JFAR including:As of now, this year we have two accepted manuscripts in production, several revised and resubmitted for regular submission, and eight submissions for the Special Forum in “Non-Fraud Forensic Accounting.” We plan to publish at least 15 articles in the Spring of 2020 issue of the JFAR.I truly appreciate the cooperation and efforts of the leadership of the FAS, past editor, associate editors of the JFAR, and the staff of AAA in making our journal one of the premier AAA journals. When we are successful with our initiatives, we will be able to build a case for inclusion in the indexes. I suggest considering the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) to get the Impact Factor soon. To take the journal international, we need to get ranking in international and regional databases including SSRN, Web of Science, Scopus, CABS (U.K.), ABDC (Australia), CNRS (France), and VHB (Germany), among others. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any suggestions for maintaining the sustainability of the JFAR. I am counting on your support!Best regards and Happy Holidays,—Zabihollah RezaeeEditor

Mathematics Teacher Educator: Looking Back and Looking Forward

In this editorial, I look back at what the Mathematics Teacher Educator journal has accomplished during its short existence. In particular, I examine how past editors and panelists have worked to clearly establish the unique identity of the journal. This clearly articulated vision has assisted in attracting well-aligned, high-quality manuscript submissions. It also provides educative scaffolds for authors, reviewers, and editors that have led to the publication of articles relevant to mathematics teacher educators. I then look forward to consider how we can harness the power of the internet to enrich readers' experiences with the journal. Many ways exist for an online journal to capitalize on technology to communicate, interact, and connect.

Message From the Incoming Editor-in-Chief

It is a great honor to follow Dr. Jan Craninckx, the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits (JSSC). I have had the privilege of serving on the JSSC Editorial Board for his entire tenure as the Editor-in-Chief and witnessed firsthand the outstanding job he has done managing the journal. His commitment to excellence, fairness, and efficacy was self-evident and was crucial not only in maintaining the high quality that is expected in the journal but also in taking it to new heights. Dr. Craninckx, like his illustrious predecessors, worked very hard to make sure JSSC not only remained the top journal in its field but also one of the best-managed ones. For that, we owe a great debt of gratitude to Dr. Craninckx and all the other past editors.
