Both the defense and the prosecution used an HIID Overseas Assignment time sheet filled out and signed by Shleifer as evidence to bolster their arguments...
Visualizations were projected on a white sheet by the second laptop and featured mostly pastels along with some strange meta/avant-garde text snippets and occasional movies. It would have been interesting if RPL had sampled in/performed some Jim Morrison-esque poetry or spoken word over their samples to create a new musical and lyrical dimension but unfortunately we were left with the visualizations and oft-repeated clips.

...that's not why we're here--not at the IMAX installation, anyway. We're here for the train. Or, more particularly, it's vertiginous journey.

But as early as 1993, Parmalat allegedly began to invent financial transactions to pad its balance sheet. Investigators in Milan and Parma agree: if it hadn't cooked the books, Parmalat would have posted losses every year from 1990 to the end. Instead, it posted profits, masking its problems with a mixture of fictitious transactions and aggressive acquisition; starting in 1992, the group began snapping up dairy...
