Evolving implications from the OECD's Action 13 guidance are challenging businesses to find more efficient, centralized and integrated ways to plan and manage TP documentation processes. Tax audit activity is on the rise as authorities seek to widen tax bases. Increased desire for transparency is compelling businesses to adopt a centralized TP documentation approach and examine TP on a unified, consistent global/regional basis.
In today's evolving tax landscape, businesses are re-evaluating transfer pricing processes, resource models, and use of enabling technology. Deloitte TP Digital DoX is a web-based platform designed to facilitate and streamline the preparation of TP documentation reports with scoping capabilities.

Illusionism (art)
For the philosophical theory, see Illusionism (philosophy).
For the performing art of magic, see Magic (illusion).
Triumph of the Name of Jesus, by Giovanni Battista Gaulli, on the ceiling of the Church of the Gesu. The decorations of the vault over the nave date back to the 17th century. The fresco is the work of Giovanni Battista Gaulli, known as Baciccia. The stucco reliefs were executed by Ercole Antonio Raggi and Leonardo Reti, following the drawings of Baciccia who wanted to effect a real continuity between painting and sculpture.
Illusionism in art history means either the artistic tradition in which artists create a work of art that appears to share the physical space with the viewer[1] or more broadly the attempt to represent physical appearances precisely – also called mimesis. The term realist may be used in this sense, but that also has rather different meanings in art, as it is also used to cover the choice of ordinary everyday subject-matter, and avoiding idealizing subjects. Illusionism encompasses a long history, from the deceptions of Zeuxis and Parrhasius to the works of muralist Richard Haas in the twentieth century, that includes trompe-l'oeil, anamorphosis, Op art, Abstract Illusionism, and Illusionistic ceiling painting techniques such as di sotto in sù and quadratura.[1] Sculptural illusionism includes works, often painted, that appear real from a distance.[1] Other forms, such as the illusionistic tradition in the theatre, and Samuel van Hoogstraten's "peepshow"-boxes from the seventeenth century, combine illusionistic techniques and media.
Illusionistic realismEdit
Lord Leighton's Cimabue's Madonna Carried in Procession of 1853-55 is at the end of a long tradition of illusionism in painting, but is not Realist in the sense of Courbet's work of the same period.
The development of increasingly accurate representation of the visual appearances of things has a long history in art. It includes elements such as the accurate depiction of the anatomy of humans and beasts, of perspective and effects of distance, and of detailed effects of light and colour. The Art of the Upper Paleolithic in Europe achieved remarkably lifelike depictions of beasts, and Ancient Egyptian art developed conventions involving both stylization and idealization that nevertheless allowed very effective depictions to be produced very widely and consistently. Ancient Greek art is commonly recognised as having made great progress in the representation of anatomy, and has remained an influential model ever since. No original works on panels or walls by the great Greek painters survive, but from literary accounts, and the surviving corpus of derivative works (mostly Graeco-Roman works in mosaic) it is clear that illusionism was highly valued in painting. Pliny the Elder's famous story of birds pecking at grapes painted by Zeuxis in the 5th century BC may well be a legend, but indicates the aspiration of Greek painting. As well as accuracy in shape, light and colour, Roman paintings show an unscientific but effective knowledge of representing distant objects smaller than closer ones, and representing regular geometric forms such as the roof and walls of a room with perspective. This progress in illusionistic effects in no way meant a rejection of idealism; statues of Greek gods and heroes attempt to represent with accuracy idealized and beautiful forms, though other works, such as heads of the famously ugly Socrates, were allowed to fall below these ideal standards of beauty. Roman portraiture, when not under too much Greek influence, shows a greater commitment to a truthful depiction of its subjects.
Bas-de-page of the Baptism of Christ, "Hand G" (Jan van Eyck?), Turin-Milan Hours. An advanced illusionistic work for c 1425, with the dove of the Holy Ghost in the sky.
Andrea Mantegna's late-Quattrocento ceiling fresco in the Camera degli Sposi (commissioned by Ludovico III Gonzaga for Mantua's Ducal Palace) is an early example of illusionistic ceiling painting.
The art of Late Antiquity famously rejected illusionism for expressive force, a change already well underway by the time Christianity began to affect the art of the elite. In the West classical standards of illusionism did not begin to be reached again until the Late medieval or Early Renaissance period, and were helped by the development of new techniques of oil painting which allowed very subtle and precise effects of light to be painted using very small brushes and several layers of paint and glaze. Scientific methods of representing perspective were developed in Italy and gradually spread across Europe, and accuracy in anatomy rediscovered under the influence of classical art. As in classical times, idealism remained the norm.
The accurate depiction of landscape in painting had also been developing in Early Netherlandish and Renaissance painting, and was then brought to a very high level in 17th-century Dutch Golden Age painting, with very subtle techniques for depicting a range of weather conditions and degrees of natural light. After being another development of Early Netherlandish painting, by 1600 European portraiture could give a very good likeness in both painting and sculpture, though the subjects were often idealized by smoothing features or giving them an artificial pose. Still life paintings, and still life elements in other works, played a considerable role in developing illusionistic painting, though in the Netherlandish tradition of flower painting they long lacked "realism", in that flowers from all seasons were typically used, either from the habit of assembling compositions from individual drawings, or as a deliberate convention; the large displays of bouquets in vases, though close to modern displays of cut flowers that they have influenced, were entirely atypical of 17th-century habits, where flowers were displayed one at a time. Intriguingly, having led the development of illusionic painting, still life was to be equally significant in its abandonment in Cubism.
Donald JuddEdit
In his writings and art criticisms during the mid-1960s art critic/artist Donald Judd claimed that illusionism in painting undermined the artform itself. Judd implied that painting was dead, claiming painting was a lie because it depicted the illusion of three-dimensionality on a flat surface. Judd claimed that painting needed to recognize its objecthood in real space and reject illusion. Donald Judd wrote in "Specific Objects" in 1965:
Three dimensions are real space. That gets rid of the problem of illusionism and of literal space, space in and around marks of color… Actual space is intrinsically more powerful and specific than paint on a flat surface.[2]
Modern IllusionEdit
In the Webster Texas Holiday Inn, close to the Houston Space Center, there is a double illusion ceiling by muralist Frank Wilson, commissioned in honor of US astronauts. Other double illusion murals exist in rooms for officials as well as the dining room, depicting a night sky under darkness and illuminated by glowing minerals. Under normal light, clouds and birds are observed.

Abstract Thermal reduced graphene oxide (TRGO) was incorporated into polyimide (PI) matrix as two-dimensional nanofillers and TRGO/PI nanocomposite anticorrosive coatings were fabricated. Then AC impedance spectroscopy and dynamic potential polarization curves were adopted to evaluate the electrochemical corrosion behavior of the obtained coatings in simulated seawater (3.5wt% NaCl solution). The results show that the addition of TRGO significantly improves the coating resistance and corrosion protection efficiency compared with pure PI coating. Besides, the TRGO/PI composite coating with the addition of 0.3wt% TRGO shows the most excellent anticorrosive property, with the maximum coating resistance of 1.3176×106Ω and the highest corrosion protection efficiency of 99.65%. The enhanced anticorrosive property can be attributed to the physical barrier properties of the TRGO with lamellar structure. © 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

En 1876, Alfred B. Kempe a publié un article Sur une méthode générale de description des courbes planes du n-ième degré par Linkwork, (On a General Method of describing Plane Curves of the nth degree by Linkwork) qui a montré que pour une courbe plane algébrique arbitraire, une liaison peut être construite qui dessine la courbe. Cette connexion directe entre les liaisons et les courbes algébriques a été nommée théorème d'universalité de Kempe : tout sous-ensemble borné d'une courbe algébrique peut être tracé par le mouvement de l'une des articulations dans une liaison convenablement choisie. La preuve de Kempe était imparfaite et la première preuve complète a été fournie en 2002 sur la base de ses idées.
Le résultat de Kempe n'est pas effectif, il déclare à ce titreIl est à peine besoin d'ajouter que cette méthode ne serait d'aucune utilité pratique à cause de la complexité de l'enchaînement employé, conséquence nécessaire de la parfaite généralité de la démonstration.Il appelle alors « l'artiste mathématicien » à trouver des moyens plus simples pour arriver à ce résultat :La méthode a cependant un intérêt, car elle montre qu'il existe une manière de dessiner un cas donné ; et la variété des méthodes d'expression des fonctions particulières qui ont déjà été découvertes rend au plus haut degré probable que dans tous les cas une méthode plus simple puisse être trouvée. Il reste cependant un large champ ouvert à l'artiste mathématicien pour découvrir les liaisons les plus simples qui décriront des courbes particulières.Une série d'animations démontrant la liaison résultant du théorème d'universalité de Kempe est explicite pour la parabole, la cubique auto-sécante, la cubique elliptique lisse et les courbes du trifolium.

Simplification des liaisons
Plusieurs approches ont été adoptées pour simplifier les liaisons qui résultent du théorème d'universalité de Kempe. Une partie de la complexité provient des liaisons utilisées par Kempe pour effectuer l'addition et la soustraction de deux angles, la multiplication d'un angle par une constante et la traduction de la rotation d'une liaison à un endroit en une rotation d'un deuxième lien à un autre endroit. La liaison peut être simplifiée en utilisant des différentiels à engrenages coniques pour ajouter et soustraire des angles, des trains d'engrenages pour multiplier les angles et des entraînements par courroie ou par câble pour traduire les angles de rotation.La spécialisation des courbes à celles définies par des polynômes trigonométriques a fourni un autre moyen d'obtenir des liaisons de dessin plus simples. Les courbes de Bézier peuvent être écrites sous la forme de polynômes trigonométriques. Par conséquent, un système de liaison peut être conçu pour dessiner toute courbe approchée par une séquence de courbes de Bézier.

What comes first, the music or the words? A question often asked of songwriters. The answer is most definitely, the words. No, the music! Both at the same time? Really, it happens all of these ways. This is the story of a song I co-wrote in 2002 with my partner Pete Droge called, "Going Whichever Way the Wind Blows."
Our home, which doubles as our work space, has an open floor plan. The second floor is an open loft that houses the recording studio console where Pete writes, records and engineers. It hangs over our kitchen, dining & living rooms.
One day Pete was working on the score for the film, Tattoo: A Love Story. He thought it would be a cool to have the main character's theme turn into a song during the final scene and the closing credits. So he ruminated on the theme using what we call marble–mouth lyrics, which means no words, just sounds and syllables. Sometimes this approach helps us find a song's melody, but in this case, the lyrics jumped out.
I was in the kitchen cooking, listening to Pete marble–mouth as a backdrop to my clanging pans and running water. I knew what the film was about, I knew the music well, and I knew what Pete intended for this particular song's message. Plain as day I heard him sing what sounded like a killer lyric to me. I turned off the sink and called, "Pete, did you just say, 'going whichever way the wind blows?'"
And a co-write was born. This song has been licensed to a handful of TV shows and was featured in a 2008 Toyota commercial. It is also in the independent movie, Tattoo: A love Story and on the 2006 Pete Droge album, Under the Waves.

Q: Batch to copy fonts randomly from one directory to another I'm scratching my head for more than a week on that. Here is the question:
I have a directory with lots of fonts on my desktop and I want to copy random fonts automatically from the directory into my system windows fonts directory. Additionally, I would like to set some values "from" and "to" into the batch file on how many fonts will be copied, say from 50 to 100 as example. Moreover, some fonts into the directory on my desktop are already exists into windows system fonts directory, so these need to be automatically either overwritten or skipped.
An example:
@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
cd C:\1
set n=0
for %%f in (*.*) do (
   set /A n+=1
   set "file[!n!]=%%f"
)
set /A "rand=(n*%random%)/32768+1"
copy "!file[%rand%]!" C:\2

However this script will copy just one file randomly from directory "1" on C to directory "2". So need to set somehow a range of files (50-100) that need to be copied and solve this overwrite/skip problem if a font is exists into my windows fonts system directory.
After some hours of experiments, the script is able to copy random files from random directories inside some specific location to another one. However, the problem is....it's very slow to copy say 30 files. Maybe someone can help me at least to optimize it? ;)
@echo off
setlocal EnableExtensions EnableDelayedExpansion

:loop

pushd "C:\1"

:: Enumerate Files
set "xCount=0"
for /r %%A in (*.*) do if exist "%%~A" set /a "xCount+=1"

:: Select a Random File.
set /a "xIndex=%Random% %% %xCount%"

:: Find an Copy that File
set "xTally=0"
for /r %%A in (*.*) do if exist "%%~A" (
    if "!xTally!" EQU "%xIndex%" (
        xcopy "%%~fA" "C:\2" /Y
        goto End
    )
    set /a "xTally+=1"
)

:End
popd

set /a executecounter=%executecounter%+1
if "%executecounter%"=="30" goto done
goto loop
:done

endlocal

A: There are a couple points in your request that are not clear. First you said that you want to "copy random fonts"; then you specify that you want to set some "from" and "to" values (from 50 to 100 as example) that imply to copy 50 files (but not random ones?). Finally, you want to copy "30 files"!
The Batch file below select "numFiles" files (ie 30) randomly from the range of files that start at "from" (ie 50) and ends at "to" (ie 100), and try to copy them. If the file already exist, it is skipped because you have not specified what to do in this case ("either do or not do an action" is not a specification!).
@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

rem Set working values (you may get these values from Batch file parameters)
set numFiles=30
set from=50
set to=100

rem Load the files into an array
cd C:\1
set n=0
for %%f in (*.*) do (
   set /A n+=1
   set "file[!n!]=%%f"
)

rem Process "numFiles" files
for /L %%i in (1,1,%numFiles%) do (
   rem Create a random index between "from" and "to"
   set /A "rand=((to-from)*!random!)/32768+from"
   rem Pass the new value of "rand" into a FOR parameter
   for %%r in (!rand!) do (
      rem Copy this random file, if not exists
      if not exist "C:\2\!file[%%r]!" copy "!file[%rand%]!" C:\2
   )
)

MATTHEW MIDEA
Published by washgreenesportshall on June 30, 2020 June 30, 2020
2001 – WRESTLING
After guiding the wrestlers of Washington High School to a second WPIAL Class A championship in three years, Matt Midea retired from his position as a wrestling coach in 1998, following ten years as head coach and another eight as a Wash High assistant. in doing so, he left the sport at the top of his game.
Midea gave increased vitality to Wash High wrestling by hiring Frank Rotunda and Rich Burgdolt to work with the junior varsity squad, and later to move up as his assistants. Chris Tarr, a three-time PIAA medallist and two-time state runner-up from 1992-1995 helped Midea build on a rich little Prexie wrestling tradition. He coached Wash High's Aaron Gatten to state championships in 1995 and 1996, part of the 10 individual state medals won by Washington wrestlers during his tenure. The Little Prexies had at least one wrestler win a medal at state in seven straight seasons, and had a wrestler in the PIAA finals from 1993 through 1997.
Coach Midea was part of six of the school's nine WPIAL wrestling titles and the coaches and wrestlers from the 1999 team, which again won the WPIAL title, held in such esteem they presented Matt with a championship ring even though he had retired a year before.
Before coming to Washington Midea coached for three years at Wheeling Central in West Virginia, where his squads included the school's only state champion. He spent two years at Kenyon College.
A one-time football coach at McGuffey High, and previously at Newark, OH, Matt continues as an assistant coach of the Washington High football team, a spot he has held since 1981. He is now defensive coordinator.


TORONTO - The Toronto Maple Leafs are near the end of yet another cloudy season, but there was a silver lining in the play of a pair of promising rookies in Saturday night's game against the visiting Montreal Canadiens.
Defenceman Anton Stralman, 21, and left winger Jiri Tlusty, 20, scored two goals apiece to provide all the offence in a 4-2 victory for the Leafs, who will miss the playoffs for a third consecutive season.
Stralman scored twice in just over two minutes in the middle of the second period to put Toronto on the board, while Tlusty notched a pair of goals, both on redirections, in the third.
"You hope to see that (flash) from your young players," said Leafs coach Paul Maurice. "They both have a lot of growing to do and strength to gain, but you like to see the mind and hands working like that."
For Stralman, a native of Tibro, Sweden, and playing his first season in North America, the two-goal effort gives him three markers in his past five games after he failed to score in his first 41 NHL contests.
Stralman has also played 21 games this season with the Leafs' American Hockey League affiliate, the Toronto Marlies, racking up 11 assists but no goals.
Overall, he has three goals and eight points in 47 NHL games.
"It's a good chance to show what I have for next year," said Stralman of his performance against the Habs. He was named the game's first star for his efforts.
Tlusty's first goal of the night, the game-winner at 3:17 of the third period, was initially credited to right winger Nikolai Antropov, but was later changed after video replay showed the puck went in off Tlusty.
Antropov also set up Tlusty's second marker, at 15:17 of the final frame, feeding the 6-foot, 209-pounder in the slot and watching as Tlusty deflected it past Habs goalie Jaroslav Halak.
"It's always nice to see the young guys step up and get the job done," said Antropov, who picked up three assists on a line with Tlusty and Leafs captain Mats Sundin.
"It's a great opportunity for me to be playing with the best two guys on the team, Mats and Antropov, to show what I can do," added Tlusty, the game's second star.
Tlusty, with 10 goals on the season, has five goals in his past seven outings after needing 48 games to record his first five markers. The native of Slany, Czech Republic, began the 2007-08 season with the Marlies, but was recalled in late October. His one and only other two-goal game occurred in his first NHL appearance, a 5-2 win over Pittsburgh on Oct. 25.
Tlusty, who also collected an assist against Montreal, has 16 points in 55 NHL games this season.
While the two Leafs rookies share an offensive flair and a knack with the puck, their draft pedigrees are markedly different. Tlusty was the 13th overall pick in 2006, while Stralman, listed at 6-1 and 180 pounds, didn't get selected until No. 216 in 2005.
Stralman's first goal, at 7:25 of the middle frame, opened the scoring and was a seeing-eye wrist shot from the blueline that picked the top right corner behind Halak, who was being screened by Sundin and Habs defenceman Josh Gorges. Montreal's Mathieu Dandenault tied the game less than a minute later, but Stralman re-ignited the home crowd just 70 seconds after that with a coast-to-coast rush and a low wrist shot past Halak at 9:33.
"Regardless of the goal, you like to see Stralman take the puck up the ice with speed," Maurice said, "and to see Tlusty finish off a couple of plays."

Q: Conformal mapping from a tetrahedron to a spherical sector I have been trying to find a way to do a conformal mapping from tetrahedron, specifically a trirectangular tetrahedron, to a spherical sector, but being an engineer with no training in this subject it seems to be a few notches too advanced for me. This  is an attempt to illustrate the two geometries and how they are placed wrt. eachother.
Most of what I find on conformal mappings is in 2D and formulated in the complex plane, which naturally does not cover my problem. I have found that the mapping must consist of only similarity transformations and inversions, but inversions seem to be mostly applied to spherical shells (e.g stereographic projections) and not to "solid spheres."
I also need the analogous mapping in 2d, i.e. a right isosceles triangle to a disk sector where the base and one leg coincides with the sector rays, but here I assume I can use the mapping from a disc to a square using only a quarter of the disc/square. Is this correct, and when I only need this part is there a formula not involving complex numbers?
Edit:
Also, the mapping must be the identity mapping at the centre of the sphere (disk in 2d), so that the (iso-) surfaces of constant radii in the sphere are gradually changing from spherical to planar in the tetrahedron as the radial coordinate increases.

A: Any map that sends the top "corner" of the "ball sector" in your picture to the top vertex of the tetrahedron in particular sends a right angle to an acute angle, and so cannot be conformal, so there is no map meeting your criteria.
Like Will Jagy says, in 2 dimensions any simply connected domain (other than $\mathbb{C}$) is analytically and hence conformally equivalent to a disc. In short there are lots of conformal maps, and in fact we can make more precise the statement that there is an infinite-dimensional space of conformal maps.
But, the 2-dimensional setting is wholly misleading about conformal geometry in higher dimensions, which is much more rigid, and where there is only a finite-dimensional space of conformal maps.

Watson: Redesigned fund to invest in Tennessee students
December 31st, 2019 | by Bo Watson
For all those who clamor for more financial investment in K-12 public education, there is a perfect investment opportunity for you — the Volunteer Public Education Trust.
Imagine an endowment for K-12 public education that generates millions of dollars in investment earnings for use by local school systems to enhance their educational opportunities. Imagine being able to make a personal contribution to an endowment dedicated to K-12 public education. Such a contribution would represent your individual support and commitment to K-12 education, similar to the endowments at the University of Tennessee, Vanderbilt University or University of Memphis.
An endowment like this can exist. And it could be transformational.
In 1985, the Tennessee Legislature created two education endowment funds: The State of Tennessee Volunteer Public Education Trust for supplemental funding of K-12 education and The Tennessee Chairs of Excellence Trust for higher education.
Nearly 35 years later the two funds find themselves in dramatically different financial positions. The Volunteer Public Education Trust has earned $85,944 through investments from contributions totaling $123,699. In contrast, there have been contributions totaling $104 million to the Chairs of Excellence Trust, and it has earned more than $444.1 million through investments. The Chairs of Excellence Trust has also been able to provide more than $212 million in funding to enhance higher education in Tennessee.
Ror more informationm, go to https://tinyurl.com/whyq6q2 or contact the Tennessee Treasurer's Office at (615) 532-8091.
This staggering difference led Rep. Esther Helton, R-East Ridge, and I to redesign the Tennessee Volunteer Public Education Trust. The goal of the redesign was to make the trust fund more attractive to investors interested in endowing supplemental funding for Tennessee's K-12 public education system.
Few people or businesses are even aware of it of this trust.
Over the nearly 35 years, Tennessee has appropriated $45.9 million for the Chairs of Excellence Trust, but it has given zero dollars, yes, zero, to the Volunteer Public Education Trust.
I think the state can do better. Not only by better prioritizing state investment in the Volunteer Public Education Trust, but it can improve public awareness of the fund.
The new law Rep. Helton and I sponsored to redesign the fund is the first step.
Under the new structure, the responsibility for the management of the Volunteer Public Education Trust is given to the Tennessee Treasurer's office, which has an outstanding investment record with funds such as the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System, the Tennessee Promise Endowment Trust and other investment instruments.
Additionally, the measure seeks to attract more donors by creating subaccounts where money can be earmarked so donors can give to a specific school or project. Earmarking funds for specific projects is one of the main reasons the Chairs of Excellence Fund has been highly successful. And finally, the new law expands the pool of donors and creates an endowment where the interest can be used to assist with improvements or projects outside a school's normal funding stream.
These enhancements give donors more control over their contributions and improve the management of the fund.
The Volunteer Public Education Trust is now ready for contributions from individuals, businesses and corporations that will transform the way we fund public education in Tennessee.
If you're an individual looking to make a charitable contribution or you're a business or corporation considering investing in Tennessee's public education system, I suggest The Volunteer Public Education Trust.

Painting a fuller image of ways antibiotics act
Posted byGrady Vasquez May 12, 2019 Leave a comment on Painting a fuller image of ways antibiotics act
In November 2011, a small Renaissance painting is known as the Salvator Mundi ("Saviour of the World") went on show on the National Gallery. It was a compelling, moody, particularly strange image: a half-period discern of Christ with ringlets of auburn hair, keeping a transparent crystal orb. Even more compelling turned into the label, describing it as a newly found work through Leonardo da Vinci.
This attribution, at the top end of the artwork global's Richter scale, become arguably for numerous reasons, no longer least due to the fact – contrary to National Gallery policy – it radically superior the market cost of a privately owned artwork. Its proprietors have been at this factor mysterious: an American "consortium" became stated. They have been, in truth, mid-deck New York dealers, Robert Simon, and Alex Parish, who had sold it in 2005 on an intuitive whim, closely overpainted and in bad condition, from a small auction residence in New Orleans. They paid $1, a hundred seventy-five. Cleaned, stripped and painstakingly restored through Dianne Modestini, authenticated by outstanding Leonardo professionals inclusive of Martin Kemp and David A Brown, and launched with the imprimatur of the National Gallery, the Salvator Mundi had arrived. After 5 centuries of obscurity it becomes a global movie star, a fairytale frog became a prince of artwork.
In 2013 Simon and Parish bought the image for $80m to a Swiss intermediary, who directly resold it to a Russian oligarch, Dmitry Rybolovlev, for $127.5m. These have been non-public income, however, when Rybolovlev, in turn, decided to sell, it changed into in the full theatrical highlight of a public sale on the Christie's New York saleroom inside the Rockefeller Center. On the evening of 15 November 2017, the auctioneer opened the bidding on Lot 9b, which he billed as "the masterpiece by way of Leonardo of Christ the Saviour". After a couple of minutes, it reached $180m, breaking the previous document for a portray bought at auction, set in 2015 by way of Picasso's Women of Algiers. For some time there were 5 bidders in the sport – all nameless, although all doubtless classifiable, within the unlovely terminology of excessive-cease art-dealing, as UHNWIs (extremely-excessive-net-really worth individuals) – however, for the remaining 10 minutes, there had been simply two slugging it out. The very last rate tag turned into $450m, which included Christie's commission of $50m. The purchaser changed into a minor Saudi royal, Prince Badr bin Abdullah al Saud. He is extensively rumored to have been a proxy for Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, though the on the spot beneficiary turned into the brand new Louvre Abu Dhabi, for whom (consistent with legitimate Saudi sources) he changed into acting as a "middleman client" of the portray.
The tale of the arena's maximum highly-priced painting is narrated with exceptional gusto and formidably researched detail in Ben Lewis's e-book. He has talked to pretty much all of us involved, even the publicity-shy Rybolovlev, whom he describes as a "textbook oligarch" with the "clean air" of the billionaire. The book is timed nicely, as celebrations equipment up for the five hundredth anniversary of Leonardo's dying on 2 May. Lewis has a heritage in arts journalism and documentary films: snappy reportage of mega-greenback deals is his element. But to his credit score, a whole lot of the ebook is in a rather specific mode of affected person ancient research. He examines the chequered profession of the portrays from its inception – in all likelihood in Milan, someday round 1507-10 – which leads him into areas wherein lurk many more questions than solutions.
His investigation of the provenance of the Salvator Mundi casts considerable doubt on claims that it becomes as soon as inside the series of Charles I, and that it is listed in a stock of 1650 as "a piece [picture] of Christ accomplished with the aid of Leonard". This concept was advanced in the National Gallery and Christie's catalogs to signify that the portray changed into traditionally recognized and valued as a Leonardo. The query of provenance is complex by the life of numerous other paintings with the Salvator iconography, some very plausibly attributed to scholars and imitators of Leonardo. One of those, in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, became virtually within the royal series, as it bears the stamp CR (Carolus Rex) on the again of the panel. This painting, attributed to Giampietrino, can be the "piece" itemized in 1650.
The first sure sighting of the Salvator Mundi is not until 1900 when it changed into bought through a wealthy textile manufacturer, Sir Francis Cook. It hung within the Cook family residence in Richmond until 1958 and was then bought at Sotheby's to an American businessman, Warren Kuntz, for £45, "a sum so low, it indicates he become the handiest bidder". Kuntz and his wife Minnie lived in New Orleans, that is wherein the portray was later spotted on a sale room internet site by using the speculative eye of Alex Parish.
Lewis's probings of the Salvator's backstory enhance questions about its historical popularity and visibility, and those lead in flip to the fundamental question of whether or not the painting is simply an autograph work with the aid of Leonardo. Eight years after its look at the National Gallery, the consensus amongst Leonardo students might be weighted against the attribution, although the problem is not one amenable to an instantly sure or no answer. The operating practice of a Renaissance Italian studio changed into the collective. The maestro turned into its critical determine, but others – assistants, apprentices, experts – collaborated in its products. Some customers stipulated the volume of the maestro's contribution to painting: they were prepared to pay extra for his brushwork. Others with a smaller budget just wanted the Leonardo "look" and were satisfied with a properly-accomplished copy. A tourist to his studio in 1501 reviews: "Two of his assistants make copies, and he every now and then adds a few touches to them."

Ize-Iyamu Vs Obaseki: The Wheel Comes Full Circle By Tony Ademiluyi
Elwin Mandowa
In 2016, political pundits opined that the successor to Comrade Adams Oshiomhole would be Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu. The Redeemed Christian Church of God Area pastor had come a long way in the game called politics. He started it long before Oshiomhole dreamt of becoming the governor of the state fondly known as the 'Heartbeat of the nation.'
As far back as the 1980's, he was the personal assistant to Chief Lucky Nosakhare Igbinedion while the latter was the Chairman of Oredo Local Government when the country operated a zero party political structure. He later became the Chief of Staff and Secretary to the State Government between 1999 and 2007 when Igbinedion held sway at the Dennis Osadebay Avenue.
He formed the Grace Group in 2007 as a vehicle to succeed his boss but the fact that he was from Edo South – the same senatorial district as his boss made it impossible to immediately succeed him. He later used the group as a bargaining chip when he defected to the then Action Congress of Nigeria to throw his weight behind the ambition of Oshiomhole as nobody from Edo North where he hailed from had never been the Governor of the State. Despite the fact that he initially lost the election to Professor Oserhimen Osunbor in 2007, the court was able to give him victory the following year.
Ize-Iyamu then became the National Vice Chairman of the ACN South-South with his political clout soaring. He was the Director-General of the second term campaign team in 2012 for the Comrade governor and he was viewed by party faithful as the 'governor-in-waiting' due to his relationship with Oshiomhole. He was so influential that he ensured that Oshiomhole won the entire eighteen local governments in the state by a landslide.
Oshiomhole shocked his followers by throwing his weight behind Godwin Obaseki who was in charge of his economic management team. The latter was a political neophyte who had made a name for himself in Lagos as a technocrat of note and was the founder of Afrinvest – a boutique non bank financial services firm.
Obaseki rarely talked during the ferocious campaign that got the garrulous Ize-Iyamu who defected to the Peoples Democratic Party to ask whether he was deaf and dumb. Oshiomhole who has the gift of the garb did all the talking while his then protégé followed him meekly like a lamb.
In the end Obaseki won and the embittered Ize-Iyamu went to court where he lost at all levels.
No sooner than Obaseki got sworn in that he began to assert himself as the state's chief executive who should not just be in office but also in power. Before long, he clashed seriously with Oshiomhole as he wanted to put a stop to his perceived 'overbearing' nature.
The state House of Assembly couldn't be inaugurated as most of the members were Oshiomhole's loyalists and were seen as threats. There was an order that Oshiomhole had to seek Obaseki's permission before visiting the state. Oshiomhole was suspended by his ward as a member of the All Progressives Congress . The House of Assembly was sworn in with minority members said to be loyal to the governor with a Speaker emerging to the chagrin of democracy lovers.
Political analysts contend that Obaseki failed to make himself available for all the reconciliation efforts that the stakeholders wanted to make to resolve the crisis including the intervention of Africa's wealthiest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote.
The second term ambition of Obaseki led to serious cracks within the APC as Ize-Iyamu, his arch nemesis defected to the party ostensibly with the blessings of the erstwhile Boss of the Nigerian Labour Congress, Oshiomhole who had apparently 'forgiven' him of his numerous 'sins.'
The APC Screening Committee screened Obaseki out of the race on grounds of certificate discrepancy from the University of Ibadan where he studied Classics and graduated in 1979. He then saw the handwriting on the wall when he resigned his membership of the APC and then moved into the PDP a few days later.
Not surprisingly, Ize-Iyamu won the APC ticket after the former deputy governor, Pius Odubu and Osaze Obazee stepped down at the 11th hour. Obaseki also got the ticket after his main rival, Kenneth Imasuagbon a.k.a The rice man stepped down at the last minute.
Political 'Seers' were right when they predicted the swap of parties between Ize-Iyamu and Obaseki in 2016 and 2020.
Who will carry the day on September 19, 2020? It promises to be a battle royale as both men are equally formidable.
Obaseki has the advantage of the power of incumbency and the empathy of many Edolites who see him as a liberator from the stranglehold of Oshiomhole's alleged godfatherism. He has the propaganda machinery at his beck and call which can swing public opinion in his favour.
Ize-Iyamu has the edge of being an old political warhorse who has fought and won many political battles. He has the edge of being a grassroots mobilize as well as the fact that the APC controls the federal government and their desire to increase the number of states that they control.
The APC can take the alleged certificate scandal of Obaseki to the next level by ensuring that he gets a disqualification as a way of blocking his chances of coming back for a second term while the PDP can throw up the card of Ize-Iyamu's alleged 700 million naira fraud case with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to also get him disqualified from the race.
The duo hail from Edo South which is the largest voting bloc in the state and the state is traditionally almost equally divided between the APC and PDP. It will be a fight to finish as both men have a lot at stake. Obaseki would love to return for a second term so as to spite Oshiomhole his friend turned adversary while it will be Ize-Iyamu's final chance to become the governor since power will leave the south and go to either the north or central as a gentleman's agreement exists among the stakeholders on power rotation. By the time it will return to the south, he will be 74 and too old to contest for the state's top seat.
Will Obaseki emerge two time lucky with the latter being on his own terms? Will Ize-Iyamu upset the apple cart and humble Obaseki? Will the people come out in large numbers to vote despite the corona virus pandemic?
September 19 will surely come to pass.

Is it possible to photograph Africa clearly, without sentimentality or prejudice? To frame beautiful images without compromising the dignity of individual subjects who, in many cases, are in a state of severe distress, but without patronising them either? In a slice of the world where everyone is familiar with pictures of Aids and famine victims from newspapers, it's a pertinent question that Swiss photographer Didier Ruef tries earnestly to answer.
Despite the book's title, he does not conflate the countries he travels through: there are pictures of the Nhiao's traditional women's day dance, and images of Ethiopian women with lower lips hugely elongated by plates inserted in them. Perhaps he could have included more of this kind of picture (I certainly felt the lack of any writing by Ruef to explain why he did or did not include anything; Professor Joseph Ki-Zerbo's well-intentioned but banal preface, in French, is no substitute), but misery is prevalent and celebration localised and so this book is filled with beautiful monochrome representations of fortitude, suffering and despair.
Through nine countries, he observes ancient traditions and modern plagues, the former faltering while the latter gain in strength and viciousness. He gives us what we expect: Aids sufferers; amputees; gun-toting infants – but with verve and guts. Leg amputees pictured from the chest down present the faceless fallout from interminable violence. In another image, a long thin stick both supports and eerily resembles a shockingly malnourished Sudanese child.
Ruef probes the sutures between old Africa and the new, Western-influenced world. A roll of paper money thrust through a traditionally enlarged ear piercing, which also supports a Lobb key, inverts the Western notion of accessories: this Ethiopian man has made himself into a handbag, while our essentials have become his decoration. Also in Ethiopia, a girl so young her bare breasts are buds, carries – with equal nonchalance – rocks on her head and a rifle over her shoulder.
Wry juxtapositions occur in the section on Guinea, an unpopulated photo of abandoned playing cards seems innocuous, even dull, until you glance across to the facing page where a man without hands sits. Photographed from the waist down, he casts a limbless metaphorical shadow on the neighbouring picture. A card game he cannot play without help would probably not seem so banal to him.
Similarly, in Cameroon, the puzzled attention of young men as the correct application of a condom is demonstrated (on a wooden phallus) is given weight and depth by the beautiful, formally dressed woman in the opposite picture who appears to regard the condom with quiet longing. As well she might: she is HIV positive.
It's as though Ruef attaches as much significance to the space between photographs as to the photos themselves. And this practical mastery is enhanced by an appreciation of the mystical; Ruef is not afraid to photograph the invisible, as the footprints on the cover demonstrate. After all, he is obliged to photograph vanished limbs – do vanished people not deserve as much?
Perhaps he's right to avoid elaborate explanations. These pictures – heavily indebted to Sebastiao Salgado, yet remaining untroubled by that debt – can explain themselves, reinforcing one another in much the same way that a left and right eye together permit clear, three-dimensional vision. Photographs need not stand in isolation any more than the people they portray.

Man sneaks into gay club, fills lubricant dispenser with acid
http://www.africaeagle.com/2016/08/man-sneaks-into-gay-club-fills.html
A 62-year-old man has been arrested after sneaking into a gay club to replace lubricant in its dispenser with hydrochloric acid.
The man was arrested on Saturday, August 27 after he snuck into one of the rooms at the Aarows Club located in Rydalmere, north-west Sydney, Australia, to carry out the sickening attack.
The security at the venue is said to have detained the man after he tripped an alarm.
The police have revealed that this is not the first time the club has been targeted, with different items in the room alarmed to alert security of tampering.
The man now faces charges of administering a poison with intent to injure or cause distress or pain, entering a building with intent, malicious damage and driving while suspended.
The suspect has been granted conditional bail and would be arraigned before the Parramatta Local Court on September 20.

Well, long before Harry Potter films nearly every fairy tale started with the Prince or Princess, and all of them lived in castles, right? So even as an adult when you see a castle, a real one, it still carry some feel of a fairy tale, at least for me. So visiting castles is... is something special.
Caernarfon Castle is one of the famous castles in Wales. Built by king Edward I, now it collects £4.95 from each visitor (and you must add the parking fee as well) so not much different from Edward's time - castle is costly thing for a taxpayer. But even then you simply can't resist. When it is not overcrowded by tourists, there are mere moments when you can get the feel - stomping of heavy feet, horses neighing and occasional bucket of dirty water being poured over the walls... You can look over the sea from the tops of the towers and just imagine standing there hundreds of years ago, watching the horizon and dreaming of an odd sip of whisky in that harsh, deadly wind.
Well, today it looks not so worn off and it is huge. HUGE. If you want, you can spent all day climbing up and down each stears then and there, and simply enjoy the feel. If not, there is about an hour to look around, and visit two small museums - one is for Welsh regiments, the other - of course, for the Princes of Wales. If you are into Royals, you will love there. Not really for me, but still interesting, esppecially seeing Charles so young in the film there. But the most is castle itself.

Posted on Dec 11, 2014 in Investigations | Comments Off on Washington Federal Court Emphasizes Privilege Logs Must Describe Nature Of The Documents Withheld
The issuer of a commercial property insurance policy refused to indemnify its insured for losses resulting from the failure of a methane purification system at a landfill gas processing facility in the State of Washington. The insured filed suit and then sought to compel production of the insurer's entire claim file or have the court agree to an in camera review of the relevant portion of the claim file the insurer was attempting to withhold on grounds of privilege. The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington determined that neither party's request for a state's choice of law was accurate. The insurer wanted to apply Virginia law (where the insured was located) and the insured wanted to apply Washington law. The court concluded that neither Virginia nor Washington law should apply given that the insurer was located in Pennsylvania, communicated with an agent located in New York, New Jersey, or British Columbia, and with an attorney located in Illinois. To the extent Washington courts apply the communicative privilege law of a state other than Washington, they follow Section 139 of the Restatement (Second) of Conflict of Laws and apply the law of the state with the "most significant relationship" with a communication. Even though the court could not ascertain which state had the "most significant relationship" to the communications at issue (other than to know it was not Washington or Virginia), the court determined that the right state's law would conflict with Washington's given that Washington was the only state to its knowledge that declared the attorney-client privilege presumptively inapplicable in a bad faith claim from a first-party insured. Under Washington state law, an insurer can overcome that presumption if it can show that its attorney was not engaged in the quasi-fiduciary tasks of investigating and evaluating or processing the claim but instead was providing the insurer counsel as to its own potential liability. The Washington state court is mandated to conduct an in camera review in this situation. The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, however, concluded that federal courts exercise discretion in deciding whether in camera review is appropriate.
Here, the court ultimately determined that the insurer must re-submit its privilege log after bolstering it to describe the nature of the documents it was withholding, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5). That rule provides that a party asserting privilege must "describe the nature of the documents, communications, or tangible things not produced or disclosed — and to do so in a manner that, without revealing information itself privileged or protected, will enable other parties to assess the claim." Merely listing the number of pages in the document, the date of the document, who sent and received the document, and noting whether the document is an email, letter, or some other type of document is not enough.
