Queensland's auditor-general has questioned whether the state government got value for money from its CBD revamp.
No business case was developed for the William Street tower, a government agency hub to be built by the private sector opposite Parliament House.
Auditor-General Andrew Greaves says government policy wasn't followed and alternatives weren't investigated such as direct public sector ownership or leasing at other locations.
"While the costs associated with 1 William Street may represent value for money, it was not determined before the decision was taken, or subsequently, that it epitomises value for the state," the report said.
About 75,000 square metres of the tower will be leased back to the government for 15 years for $1.14 billion.
Once completed in 2016, some public servants will be moved over from neighbouring high rises, which were sold in May.
Mr Greaves criticised the government for not embarking on a traditional competitive sale process and instead offloading the high rises to government-owned Queensland Investment Corporation and the trust funds it manages.
The seven properties were bought for $527 million, $237 million, or 31 per cent less than the prior year's independent valuation, the report said.
Although the state obtained two independent valuations supporting the sale price, the market was not tested to determine if a higher or lower sale price would have been achieved.
Nor did it investigate whether it was better to sell the properties individually rather than as a portfolio.
"The absence of market competition, effectively means from the states perspective the transaction was not 'at arms length'," the report said.
"Without a competitive sale process and given the significant difference between the book value and the sale price achieved, prima facie it raises the issue of whether the state can demonstrate that it obtained best value for money for the assets it sold."
The opposition says Queensland taxpayers could be out of pocket $2.26 billion once rent for the sold properties, rent for William Street and the loss on sales is added up.
Deputy Leader Tim Mulherin said the fact a business case wasn't done showed the deal was quickly cobbled together.
"This deal was really a deal for the premier and his treasurer and the ministers around self-indulgence," he said.
Treasurer Tim Nicholls was unapologetic and is satisfied the state achieved value for money.
"There is no evidence to refute the calculations obtained by the state, nor is there any direct evidence presented ... that the state achieved less than market value through this transaction,."

Although the brilliant choice of games and convenience of online gaming has led to the likes of the Lucky Nugget site becoming household names in recent years, there is still something to be said for having a night out at an old-fashioned land-based dice-joint hall. Getting done up to the nines is certainly a big part of the attraction. These tips should enable you to dress right for the kind of night – and Keno – you have in mind.
For the men, if the gaming club you are visiting for your night out is one of the really flash ones in a big city, you will probably encounter a fairly strict code when it comes to dress. Some of these places expect you to wear the full tuxedo-style evening suit, but others will accept a normal suit and tie. If you are visiting a gaming club with a more open dress policy, and you want to make your outfit something special, you can go for the 'high roller' look with a money belt, complete with visible cash. Alternatively, if you love old gangster films, try a gangster-style fedora hat along with your suit.
Most women going for a night out at a gaming hall will want to dress up, whether they are going to one locally, or to a top one in London or Las Vegas, but there are various options for how to do so. You could consider going for a retro theme, with a 1920s-style flapper dress if the Sic Bo hall you are visiting will have décor to match this, or if you are going somewhere more modern, a short, but formal cocktail dress will always be a good option. Again you can top off your basic outfit with accessories like a fur stole or jewellery, but you should also bear in mind what sort of weather is likely – as the Las Vegas Strip can be a lot hotter than London or other European cities.
Of course if you can't decide what to wear for a night at the casino then you can always wear whatever you wish and relax at home, playing at JackpotCity.co.uk.


RegTech: ultimate solution to meet regulatory compliance requirements?
Is RegTech the ultimate solution to meet regulatory compliance requirements?
The banking and capital markets sector is being disrupted by ever-changing customer behaviour, technological innovations, new market entrants and over-regulation. But change is not necessarily bad news. To understand how disruptive technologies can represent an opportunity for Australia, let's take a look at current disruptive regulatory compliance technologies...introducing RegTech.
This blend word of 'regulatory technology' aims to regulate challenges in the financial services sector through forward thinking technology to help organisations comply with regulations in a more affordable and efficient way.
Technology is set to impact competition.
Technology is set to have a significant impact on competition within the industry over the next five years. Banking has the track record of being a complicated business where security is the primary concern with expectations being set that banking systems should also provide the same user-friendly online experience as retailers and tech companies. This presents banks with a major challenge as they have to keep up with technology changes while also meeting customer expectations.
Greater regulation to boost innovation.
Better regulation technology is essential to drive innovation and customer loyalty, while bringing costs down. Banks must start by building their workforce and focus on improving their technological capabilities to set them apart from their peers in future. A better application of technology by regulators is also required to drive a faster moving and more agile financial services market.
Use RegTech as competitive economic power.
According to specialists, the greater Australia becomes at understanding, developing and utilising RegTech products, the more competitive the economy will be.
RegTech represents an important driver of change due to the global demand for regulatory, compliance and governance software. It also provides new systems for automating compliance activity and innovative regulatory models.
It's predicted that using RegTech to its full potential will drive growth across the financial services sector making Australia a more attractive global marketplace.

Q: Windows Service with Onion Architecture All the onion architecture examples I've seen are within the context of ASP.NET MVC apps. They tend to avoid a direct reference between the UI and the service implementations (infrastructure) by putting IoC setup in the infrastructure DLL and using some magic (HttpModule or WebActivator) to make IIS execute that setup code at the right time.
In my case, I'm working on a Windows (TopShelf) Service, and struggling with how to keep the service control project completely decoupled from the infrastructure project. There is no execution pipeline to hook into like in an IIS web app.
The best I can think of is to have the service project scan DLLs for IoC registry/module classes, but that still doesn't seem as clean.
Any ideas?

A: A Windows Service is by definition not a UI, so I'm not sure what this would achieve.
All the TopShelf project needs is a reference to the actual service class: your infrastructure project does not need a reference to TopShelf, as shown in the documentation.
If you don't have a reference to the infrastructure service from the TopShelf project, then configuring your service is going to be ugly.
You will need to use an ObjectFactory or ServiceResolver or some such to construct the service using IoC, but this will be the composition root anyway.

Metaverse coins fears new covid variant
By Michelle D. Madsen November 26, 2021 195
Bitcoin lost 8% Friday to touch its lowest level in two months, as cryptos fell across the board.
The discovery of a new, potentially vaccine-resistant COVID-19 variant drove investors to dump riskier assets.
Metaverse-linked coins plunged, reversing a recent rally, as sand dropped 4.2% and mana lost 10.8%.
Metaverse-linked coins, Bitcoin, ether, mana and sand were all knocked down in a broad-based crypto sell-off Friday. As worries about the impact of a new COVID-19 variant prompted investors to sell riskier assets.
According to CoinMarketCap data, the leading cryptocurrency bitcoin slid 7.5 percent in 24 hours to $54,079 at 08:50 a.m. ET. However, it was recouping losses from earlier this month, when it fell to $53,625 – its lowest level since October 10. The token is about to experience its greatest one-day loss in two months.

Scientists in South Africa detected a new COVID-19 variant
South African scientists announced on Thursday that they had discovered a novel COVID-19 variation, B.1.1.529. That could be more transmissible and resistant to current vaccinations. As a result, the United Kingdom has suspended flights from six southern African countries. Additionally the European Union has indicated that it is considering a similar flying restriction.
The World Health Organization is to host a special conference on the situation on Friday. After warning earlier in the week of an increase in global coronavirus cases.
Fears of increased anti-pandemic regulations and their impact on economic development arose as a result of the steps. Sending global stock markets tumbling as investors sought safety in less risky assets. Crypto markets reflected this tone, according to observers.
In an emailed message to Insider, Freddie Evans, sales trader at digital asset broker GlobalBlock, said, "Today's move illustrates that digital assets are sensitive to risk aversion affecting traditional markets."
"We've seen key global indexes and other risk assets take a hit as a result of concerns over the appearance of a new Covid version in South Africa," he added. "This has damaged bitcoin, leading $300 million to be sold in under an hour."
Meanwhile, the native token of ethereum, ether, fell 9.5 percent in 24 hours to $4,027.06, although was recovering from a larger loss. It had already fallen to $3,933, its lowest point since October 24.
On the last 24 hours, solana's sol was down 10.8 percent, polkadot was down 12.5 percent, and cardano's ada was down 9.6 percent. According to CoinMarketCap data, dogecoin is down 8.2 percent, while shiba inu is down 1.6 percent.
Metaverse-linked tokens also took a hit
Metaverse-related tokens have also taken a knock, reversing gains made earlier this week on the strength of encouraging news such as the sale of digital property for millions of dollars.
According to CoinMarketCap, the sand token of gaming platform Sandbox has declined 2%, while the mana token of virtual real estate company Decentraland has dropped 6.3 percent. Despite the widespread falls in cryptocurrency prices, not all market experts were pessimistic about the future.
"The fundamentals of the crypto sector have not altered for us at 21Shares. We can see that the rate of innovation is continuing to pick up speed "According to Eliézer Ndinga, the digital asset manager's research lead.

The bloody truth about reproductive rights in America
Hannah Figueroa-Velazquez, Editor-in-Chief
Reproductive rights: such a timely topic as we now join Texas in solidarity for their fight against the unjust abortion ban placed upon its people.
A movement largely headed by feminists since the late 1900s, the push for the right to have an abortion is a crucial aspect of feminist history. People often overlook, however, the racist and bloody past of the reproductive rights movement.
In 1973, abortion was officially declared legal in the Roe vs Wade court case. Unfortunately, many of the women heading this movement were white, wealthy women, meaning a necessary part of the reproductive rights discussion was commonly left out- accessibility. Though abortion was made a constitutional right at the federal level, the 1977 Hyde amendment was passed by Congress and effectively withdrew federal funding of abortions. As a result, a large demographic of Latina, Black and Native American women found themselves unable to afford birth control or abortions.
At the same time that a growing movement for "voluntary motherhood" began to gain traction among white feminists, women of color were more focused on the economic injustices that left them out of this conversation. In the late 19th century, hysterical talks of "race suicide" began, as the white birthrate was dropping rapidly. Although this was due to the disparity between the number of white women and women of color who were able to afford methods of birth control, many began to grow fearful. The president at the time, Theodore Roosevelt, even claimed that "race purity must be maintained." The hysteria of the white race slowly diminishing and other ethnic populations growing triggered a rise in eugenics propaganda. Because Black and Brown women disproportionately were unable to afford abortions, the government pushed for another effective and completely free birth control method: sterilization.
Pushing the agenda that low-income families shouldn't have children while at the same time imposing laws upon people of color that prevented them from moving up economically resulted in a mass decline in populations of color. Pamphlets and pictures were spread across poor Black and Brown neighborhoods, all sending a simple yet horrifying message: if you are low income, the responsible thing to do is to get sterilized. In 1919, The American Eugenics Society confirmed their racist tactic as they claimed birth control was a weapon to "prevent the American people from being replaced by alien stock."
Eventually, the practice of advertising sterilization to communities of color was addressed nationally and, for the most part, made unconstitutional. However, the results were devastating. By 1976, about 24 percent of Native American women at child-bearing age had been sterilized.
Now, as we once again push back on government officials for dictating the right to choose what happens to our bodies, we must do better. As we know, we can't move forward as a community until we've faced our past. The reproductive rights movement is inarguably an important cause, but one that cannot afford to be exclusive in who we're getting justice for. This means not only fighting to legalize abortions everywhere, but also pushing for affordable and accessible forms of birth control. This means making sure that abortions aren't a luxury or something to be earned through the accumulation of wealth, but rather ensuring that abortions are what they should be: a human right.

Cal Opens Pac-10 Play at Home vs. No. 21 Arizona, ASU
BERKELEY -
Up Next:      Radio: KALX (90.7 FM) and on Calbears.com	TV: noneFri.	Dec. 27	vs. Arizona	        Berkeley, CA	7:00 p.m.Sun.	Dec. 29	vs. Arizona State	Berkeley, CA	2:00 p.m.
A LOOK AT THE GOLDEN BEARS
California (3-4) opens the Pac-10 season at home against No. 21 Arizona (6-2) Friday, Dec. 27 at 7 p.m. at Haas Pavilion. The Golden Bears then entertain Arizona State (8-1) Sunday, Dec. 29 at 2 p.m. At both games, Cal women's basketball trading cards will be distributed to all fans. This weekend, parking is free for fans at the Bancroft/Fulton lot on campus. The Bears look to break a streak of seven consecutive losses in Pac-10 openers dating back to an 87-83 home triumph over Washington State on Jan. 5, 1995. This week's games close out Cal's stretch of nine straight games in the Bay Area. Next week, the Bears begin a four-game road swing, starting with a Jan. 2 tilt vs. Mercer in Macon, Ga.
Depth should be an asset for Cal in both games this week, as 11 players average at least 11 minutes and only two starters average as much as 29 minutes. For Arizona, one starter averages 29 minutes, while the others average 32 or 33 minutes per outing. For ASU, every starter averages at least 28 minutes.
Cal is coming off a 71-64 road setback to Saint Mary's on Dec. 21. After battling back from a 13-point second half deficit and grabbing the lead three times, the Gaels secured the victory in the closing minutes from the free throw line. Guard Nihan Anaz paced the Bears with a season-high 12 points, all coming in the second half. Forwards Leigh Gregory and Jacqueline Sanchez each added 10 points.
Center Timea Ivanyi paces Cal at 10.3 ppg and is second in rebounding at 4.3 rpg. Three other starters hover close to double-figure points - point guard Kristin Iwanaga (9.9), Gregory (9.6, 4.6 rpg) and Anaz (9.5).
Improving the offense has been a focal point for the Bears this season. It's going to take some time for the newcomers to click with the veterans, but there are some signs of improvement. After averaging 56.8 ppg last season, Cal is averaging 59.7 ppg this year.
While the team works on its offense, the defense remains one of the best in the Pac-10. Cal ranks third in the conference for scoring defense at 59.3 ppg after ranking in the top four in that category the last four years.
The Bears' top performers off their deep bench include forward Kiki Williams (5.4 ppg, 3.6 rpg), forward Renee Wright (4.2 ppg, 3.3 rpg) and guard LaTasha O'Keith (3.1 ppg, 1.9 rpg). Point guard Sarah Pool leads the team in assists with 20 (2.9 pg).

Howbeit, if you deprivation the most select efficacy to fee ratio consequently you'd have to air at the inventory of the cheapest offers. Different insurers may have inconsequential differences for comparable policies. It's sapient to ask the cause what's integrated and what's excluded.


I have a consultancy Ltd company that operates in an uncertain industry, and profit fluctuates. Last year profit £120k, prev year £70k, prev year £30k loss.
The director is in his 60's and wants to retire, and pass the goodwill of the company to his employee for nothing. I'm not sure if that's do-able so they may mutally agree to say £50k. The Net Assets are £200k bank balance. He just wants out and for the employee to continue his legacy.
I'm conscious of Employment Related Securities. Is the 'normal' situation here simply to get the business valued, and shares sold to employee at MV? I've suggested employee sets up a newco, and that company purchases the shares, so at least he'll have a DLA to draw down on. The Net Asset proportion could be structured as a dividend up to newco, then paid out to exiting shareholder. So the employee would need to raise funds for the goodwill element only. Would that work?
Other option is MVL, and employee's newco purchases the goodwill from liquidator at an agreed valuation. This probably seems the cleanest option to me providing exiting guy is conscious of TAAR. Problem is if exiting guy wants to continue as a freelancer or held a non-exec position etc.
I've tried asking for help from my tax advice line, but they're no help. Anyone know the best way of doing this, and if there is any help out there? How would you structure it?
Who are you advising? The company, the owner or the employee?
I don't know what your professional body says on the subject but I can't see how that doesn't give you a massive conflict of interests. As "the employee wishes to use me going forwards" you could be accused of favouring his interests over your (soon to be) former client.
I agree in principle, but in the real world ... if you make a stance at the get-go and say you'll be unbiased and factual, then (hopefully) both parties will respect that.
Give them (separately) their relevant facts but stay neutral. It's not your job to do the negotiations.
When I've done something similar in the past, to each party I've given the advice "X is best for you as the seller/buyer. FYI, in general, Y is best for a buyer/seller". Just make sure the Y is a generic Y, not tailored to your knowledge of the other party. Then stand back and let them agree something.
It's a fine line and you may need to be strong to stay on the fence.
Then stand back and let them agree something.
I suspect they would both be better to have proper independent professional advice as you are always going to be in the wrong if one of them isn't happy.
I agree with the above. Act for one party only, and ensure that whichever party you act for gets sound legal advice on whatever happens with the deal. There are too many ways that this can go sour, however informal and friendly it initially seems to be.
Presumably TAAR restrictions wont apply if A sells shares to B Limited as there is no winding up. But does TIS then come into play?
Let me get this straight. A client has said he wants to sell shares at net asset value to an employee to keep the company going. You've suggested instead that they liquidate the company.
Are you speaking the same language as them? Sit down with them- together and individually - to find out what each wants. Then think about whether you are conflicted. Then (and only then) think about the tax - but base it on the objectives, not some random alternatives you've come up with.
How much does he want for the company and does the employee have the money to pay? They need to set out the commercial terms first, whether asset sale or share sale and then you advise on the tax, but there would only be income tax under ERS if the amount paid for the shares is below market value.


This is our "milder" Buffalo Wing popcorn. "Milder" because it packs less of a kick than our X X Buffalo Wing, but it still kicks!! Order a bag of our Blue Cheese popcorn to cut the heat.
This is one of my favorites, as well as my husband's and father's. Great flavor, just the right amount of salt, and the perfect amount of kick. I've wanted to eat a whole small bag in a sitting but the spice is JUST enough to stop me.


Pick Your Menu: We went for an oyster bar sampler, pasta course and clam bake. If you don't have access to a pit, not to worry, you can create the "bake" over the grill or stove-top. There's so many ways to personalize this summer favorite – switch up the butters, swap in different seafood. We went for Little Neck Clams + Fresh Main Lobster + Whole Shrimp + Scallops on the half Shell + Andouille Sausage + White Summer Corn + Red Creamer Potatoes with a trio of drawn butters of lemon and saffron, fresh herb, and plain salter.
But if you prefer mussels over clams? Want some extra corn? The world is your oyster!
Get Messy: Don't forget that this is a traditionally-messy dish! Shell buckets, bibs, and an endless supply of napkins will be much needed.
Dress Your Table: We draped the table with a retired fishing net and mussel shell garlands were so fun and the perfect blue tones complimented the soft sunset toned floral arrangements. We decided to use an extra long dining table and benches instead of chairs for a warm, family style feel.
Create a Fun Place Setting: Ditch a fancy napkin fold and tie the napkins in a loose knot instead, it feels a little more casual but looks so fabulous. Personal crab-crackers at each plate encouraged guests to "get crackin'" and dig in. Copper flatware and blue water goblets were perfect for adding color and a little sparkle to the seaside hued tabletop.
Keep It Going: After dinner offer your guests a cozy place to enjoy dessert and talk the night away. A soft lounge accented with fishing nets and oversized oyster shells is perfect. Just add a few throw blankets and you're set!

Prof. Debbie Christel developed fat fashion pedagogy upon "critical feminist and narrative pedagogies," and seeks to fight fat stigma by "promoting activism to erode the thin-centric orientation" among students.
After conducting market research and reading articles about issues like "weight bias, thin privilege, and fat studies," students researched and designed a series of "plus-size swimsuits for active swimmers."
A professor at Washington State University recently pioneered a "fat fashion pedagogy" intervention in her classes to fight "structural inequality" in swimsuit design.
"Students...produced plus-size swimwear for their fat female clientele."
Fat fashion pedagogy, Christel explains, is a teaching method she developed based upon "critical feminist and narrative pedagogies," which seek to fight fat stigma by "promoting activism to erode the thin-centric orientation" among students.
To design these swimsuits, students conducted interviews with fat women, researched the swimsuit market, designed prototypes, and then presented these "fat fashion" prototypes to the executive board of a local fashion company.
During the progression of the class, students also read 10 articles about issues like "weight bias, thin privilege, and fat studies," and learned about portrayals of obese people in the media.
After Christel's course, she reports that not only did students successfully create plus-sized swimsuits, but that they also became less judgmental and biased towards fat women.
"The outcomes indicate that, through [fat fashion pedagogy], students were successful in challenging and reducing their biases towards fat people and, in the process, produced plus-size swimwear for their fat female clientele," Christel remarks.
Further, some even became interested in the field of fat fashion, and Christel says two of her students even went on to create plus-sized fashion collections for their senior capstone class.
Notably, while Christel's research involved undergraduate college students, there is no mention of whether she received Institutional Review Board approval (IRB) before conducting her experiment, which is typically required for research on students.
The Washington State University IRB, which is "responsible for the review and approval of all research activities involving human subjects" did not respond for a request for comment on whether Christel's research was approved. Neither did WSU, or Christel herself.

VirnetX Prevails at Federal Appeals Court as Apple's Requests for Rehearings are Denied
En Banc and Panel Rehearing Requests Denied
ZEPHYR COVE, Nev., Feb. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- VirnetX™ Holding Corporation (NYSE AMERICAN: VHC), an Internet security software and technology company, announced today that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the "Federal Circuit") issued an order denying Apple's petition for panel and en banc rehearing of the decision issued in Appeal No. 2019-1050. Previously, in the appeal, the Federal Circuit affirmed-in-part and reversed-in-part a judgment issued against Apple by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
In its opinion in this case, the Federal Circuit affirmed the district court's ruling that Apple was precluded from challenging the validity of the asserted patents. Apple, the Court held, had unsuccessfully litigated the same issues in a previous case, and was barred from reprising those challenges. The Federal Circuit also affirmed the jury's finding that Apple's VPN-on-Demand feature infringes U.S. Patent Nos. 6,502,135 and 7,490,151. The Federal Circuit reversed, however, the finding that Apple's FaceTime feature infringes U.S. Patent Nos. 7,418,504 and 7,921,211.
The Federal Circuit's opinion remanded the case to the district court for an assessment of whether a new trial was required on damages, given the reversal of the infringement finding as to FaceTime. The Court noted, however, that Apple had sold about 418 million units, including "over 384 million units having both FaceTime and VPN on Demand," and "34 million units having only FaceTime."
"We are extremely pleased with the Federal Court's decision to deny Apple's requests for an en banc and panel rehearing," said Kendall Larsen, VirnetX CEO and President.
