SHEN SIYUAN/COURTESY THE ARTIST AND DAVID ZWIRNER
Artist Liu Ye will now be represented by David Zwirner gallery, which has locations in New York, London, and Hong Kong.
Liu, who has shown with Sperone Westwater gallery in New York and Vitamin Creative Space in Guangzhou and Beijing, will have his first show with Zwirner at one of its New York locations in 2020; the gallery is also planning to show his work at Art Basel Hong Kong later this month.
Liu is widely known in Asia for his paintings of disproportionate figures in stark, nondescript settings. Inspired by fairy tales and European modernism in equal measure, Liu has recently begun a series that focuses on the covers of splayed-open books.
The Beijing-based artist joins a roster that has historically focused on artists from Europe and the United States, including Neo Rauch, Christopher Williams, Lisa Yuskavage, Wolfgang Tillmans, and others. Last year, Zwirner opened a space in Hong Kong, a year after it began showing the work of the late Korean artist Yun Hyong-keun. It also shows Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama.
"Seamlessly integrating Western and Eastern influences into his dynamic canvases, from old master traditions to minimalism, Liu's multifaceted works are as equally engaged in a dialogue with art history as they are with contemporary painting and sculpture," David Zwirner, the gallery's founder, said in a statement. "His visual acuity and depth is paired with his technical mastery of the medium, making him one of the most exciting painters working today."

Gun ownership and gun control are heated debate subjects on the news regularly. Although everyone has a different opinion and a unique approach to solving the problem of gun violence, everyone wants the same thing; a country that is safe for us all.
It might surprise you to learn that Americans own more than half the world's civilian guns. Accordingly, gun violence in the United States is way out of proportion to other countries and claims the lives of thousands of people each year.
The figures are quite startling in that even as far back as 2007; the ratio was almost one gun owned per American. Since then that figure has risen considerably.
To put perspective on that figure, America is equal to about 5% of the total world population, and yet Americans own about 42% of all the guns in the world.
Compared to other nations, gun-related murders are 25% more prevalent in America than other high-income countries. America incurs six times more homicides than Canada, sixteen times as many gun-related deaths as Germany and seven times the murders than Sweden.
Most of the gun violence that takes place in the U.S. occurs in low-income, cities, and areas where gangs exist. Young males are the majority of the perpetrators of gun violence. Although mass shootings also weigh into the equation, they are a small fraction of the problem and account for less than 2% of the gun-related deaths in America.
96 Americans are killed each day by guns.
Each day 222 people are shot and injured but survive.
An average of 13,000 homicides takes place in America each year.
Each month in America about 50 women are shot by their domestic partner.
62% of gun-related deaths in America are suicides.
Background checks have prevented the sale of 3 million guns to people not fit to own them.
African American males are 13 times more likely to be killed with a gun than white men.
46 kids and teens are shot every day in murders, suicides, assaults, police interventions and accidental shootings.
On average seven children or teens are killed each day by gun violence, four from homicide and three more from suicide.
40 children per day are shot and injured.
Two more people are injured by gun-violence for every one person killed.
If there is a gun in the household, a woman is five times more likely to be shot and killed.
1,624 mass shooting incidents have occurred in the past 1,870 days. This figure equates to a shooting happening 9 out of every ten days.
California has had 23 shooter incidents, more than any other state.
1,081 people have been killed in America in mass shooter incidents, 176 were children and teens.
154 total shooters - although most mass shooters are male adults, some have been young adults, and only three were women. 88 of the shooters died at the scene.
293 guns were used in mass shooting incidents, one shooter, in particular, used 24 guns.
167 of the guns used were obtained legally.
50 of the weapons used were obtained illegally.
It is unclear how the other 76 were obtained.
The oldest victim of a mass shooting was 98, and the youngest was eight months old.
Most mass shooter incidents take place in retail businesses, restaurants or offices.
The impact of gun violence on children and teenagers is alarming. There is an argument that having access to a firearm significantly increased the risk of homicide or suicide in America.
On average 47 children in America are shot every single day. 2700 of them die in gun-related violence, and another 14,000 are injured but survive. Gun violence in America is a dangerous and unique problem for the children growing up here.
Gun-related death is the 3rd leading cause of death for kids and teens in America.
American children, age 5-14 are 14 times more likely to be killed by gun violence than in other countries.
Children ages 15-24 are 23% more likely to die from gun-related violence.
60% of these deaths are due to homicide (more than 1,600/year). Most are due to domestic violence in the home.
The other 35% are suicides, which total about 900 a year. 80% of the guns used in these suicides belong to a parent or relative.
Black youths are four times as likely to be affected by gun violence than white kids.
An average of 3 million kids and teens witness shootings a year.
Exposure to gun violence affects children and teens dramatically and often leads to depression, drug abuse, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental illness. Children who are affected do poorly in school and sometimes have criminal records themselves. To learn more about gun-related facts and statistics in the US check out this infographic.
America's gun laws are spread throughout federal statutes to monitor and control the possession, sale, transfer, transportation, manufacture, record keeping, trade and destruction of firearms. Each state may have its own additional laws related to guns beyond what the federal government mandates.
Confusing the issue is the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States that guarantees every American the right to keep and bear arms. This promise combined with the laws to keep Americans safe generates a lot of heated debate with strong opinions that cross political and demographic lines.
Gun violence accounts for a large percentage of the crimes committed in America. 68% of all murders in the U.S. were gun-related, 41% of all robberies included an armed heaped, and 21% of aggravated assault charges include guns.
In households with domestic violence, if there are guns present in the home, a woman is five times as likely to be killed. American women are 16 more times likely to be killed with a gun than any other high-income country. The average per day is 50 women who are shot by their domestic partners. An alarming 4.5 million women have been threatened with a gun by their intimate partners.
Another unsettling statistic is that with mass shootings 54% of the time the shooter also kills their domestic partner and sometimes other family members.
The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act was created in 1993 after Jim Brady was shot and paralyzed by John Hinckley Jr. The Brady Act requires federal background checks to be performed by gun dealerships before selling firearms to civilians. The legislation also imposed a five-day waiting period for purchase but since the NICS system was put into place, that waiting period is no longer required.
More than 3 million purchases of firearms have been blocked since the Brady Act was enacted. Not only are felons prohibited from purchasing firearms but also domestic abusers, mentally ill people, and other dangerous individuals.
The Brady Act has had a significant effect on gun-related crimes.
38% fewer deaths in domestic partner situations.
A reduction of 17% fewer aggravated assault charges.
Homicides are down 32% since the Brady Act.
42% fewer robberies with a loaded weapon.

MILAN WORKING ON SEVERAL TRANSFERS AND RENEWALS
Posted on June 23, 2021 in Blog
AC Milan, one of the biggest household names in football history, and one of the top best teams in the Italian Serie A have qualified for the UEFA Champions League group stages next season and this will be the first time they will be achieving this feat in as long as eight years, having last done so back in 2013. Since then, they have been ensuring disappointing seasons in the Serie A that have seen them either miss out on European football or only make it to the group stages of the UEFA Europa League.

However, following their confirmed status as one of the contenders for the UCL title next season, their next plan will now be to try and complete their transfer businesses on time in a bid to strengthen and bolster their squad till its capable of competing against other top teams across the top 5 leagues in Europe.

FORMER MILAN MIDFIELDER IN LINE FOR JUVE JOB
It is currently almost certain that Juventus manager Andrea Pirlo may not be at the club ahead of next season, according to multiple reports from Italy and abroad. Pirlo was appointed as the club's new manager following the departure of former head coach Maurizio Sarri some months ago. Following Pirlo's appointment, the club have not reaped the amount of success they were hoping to enjoy under the former Italy international manager and they could well be lining up his replacement as soon as possible.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D7o3OR-WkAYz534.jpg
Pirlo, a Juventus legend, was deemed fit for the managerial role after Sarri left the club but he has not been able to justify his appointment, with the club not only missing out on the league title after losing it to Inter Milan but also close to missing out on Champions League football as well.

MILAN EYE UNITED MIDFIELDER AS TRANSFER TARGET
Posted on June 2, 2021 in Blog
Italian Serie A giants AC Milan are looking to raid the English Premier League for possible player signings in the summer transfer window, according to reports. After outlining their interest toward the idea of signing Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori permanently, they now want to make it a double raid on the Premier League as they have sighted Manchester United midfielder, Juan Mata, as a possible transfer target.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DQ9uUCgVAAA6o-k.jpg
Mata is currently playing in the last year of his United contract but has been largely restricted to only a few games since the start of the season. He has been largely used in the UEFA Europa League competition this campaign but he's also not been playing enough games. His last appearance came in the 6-2 thrashing of AS Roma in the Europa League on Thursday and it was only a cameo appearance he made.

I have studied a wide range of technologies and applications of distributed ledger technology.
Mr. Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of Binance, warns Craig Wright, who has received a lot of attention over the Hodlonaut accusation issue, that if it causes any more problems, it will delist the Bitcoin cash SV .
Wright is a group representative of Bitcoin Satoshi version (BSV) , which was hard-forked from Bitcoin cash (ABC) at the end of last year.
He claims that he is the founder of Bitcoin's "Satoshi Nakamoto" and is called "Scammer" etc. by Mr. Vitalic Buterin of Ethereum and Hodlonaut.
According to proponents, Wright has announced that he is preparing to sue anyone who denies that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, including the Hodlonaut, which is causing a stir in the community.
Hodlonaut has deleted this Twitter account from Wright's warning.
