Visualization Software for Securities Litigation Simplifies Data-Intensive Evidence

Leave a comment


“The securities litigators we’ve already worked with on Evidence Replay have marveled at the tool, welcoming the cohesive story and timeline it elicits,” said Stuart Rosenthal, an expert witness and creator of Evidence Replay. “Evidence Replay fills a void in the litigation ecosystem by helping simplify and visualize vast sums of data pertinent to a matter,” said Rosenthal.

Evidence Replay has been used during mediations to advance settlement discussions, for testimony as demonstrative evidence, and to help triers of facts uncover the truth.

“Evidence Replay is like a time capsule, putting the viewer back in the moment to assess what happened and how according to the data,” said Robert Conner, a co-founding securities expert with Thornapple Associates since 1983. “Seasoned litigators are amazed to see their matters come to life, and the claims objectively supported or not by the facts assimilated by Evidence Replay.”

Evidence Replay aims to make complex cases more digestible and coherent by connecting the data and evidence into a dynamic and engaging visual tool that can be ‘paused’ for a more granular study. The software can be used to validate or refute claims with a holistic view of the assimilated facts.

“What Stu Rosenthal has created with Evidence Replay is unparalleled in our industry as securities expert witnesses,” said Bob Lawson, President and Managing Principal of Barrington Financial Consulting Group, Inc., a growing Minneapolis based securities and insurance litigation support consulting firm. “We partnered with Finamotion and Stu because we saw Evidence Replay infused with Stu’s brilliance and acumen as a unique complement to Barrington’s expanding roster of consulting and testifying experts.”

Applications of Evidence Replay include:

  • Case Assessment
  • Damages Analysis
  • Account Valuation
  • Trading Activity
  • Margin Liquidation
  • Liquidity Analysis
  • High Frequency Trading

Claims for which Evidence in Motion has been applied include fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, breach of contract, failure to supervise, and securities rule violations.

Evidence Replay is hosted in a secure cloud environment with access to a matter limited to the concerned litigators and experts. The documents and data involved in an Evidence Replay case are encrypted.

“We learned early on that Evidence Replay’s proprietary software was designed to quickly and accurately analyze large amounts of financial data. It has been highly instrumental in assisting triers of facts to get to the heart of a matter and better understand the complexities,” said Lawson. “Evidence Replay software is a game changer in the securities litigation space.”

Evidence Replay is available upon retainer with Finamotion or through one of its partner firms, including Thornapple and Barrington.

About Finamotion

Finamotion LLC is creator of web applications used in litigation and dispute resolution forums to present evidence, validate facts and simplify case narrative. Evidence Replay, its flagship offering, helps litigators clarify cases, expert witnesses formulate opinions, and triers of facts uncover the truth.

Christie RGB pure laser projectors illuminate the splendor of ancient Buddhist artifacts at Mogao Grottoes Digital Exhibition Center

Leave a comment


The four digital theatres, which have been operating for a decade, recently underwent a significant transformation. This overhaul included upgrading the projection systems to Christie’s state-of-the-art D4K40-RGB pure laser projectors that push the boundaries of brightness, color reproduction, image uniformity, installation versatility, and operational lifetime. The results are unparalleled onscreen visuals that significantly elevate the viewing experience with the most vibrant images and purest colors.

Christie’s trusted partner, Beijing Huayi Shengshi Technology, installed 14 D4K40-RGB projectors. Six projectors were meticulously installed in each dome theatre, which boasts an impressive 18-meter (59-foot) diameter and seating for 200 spectators. In addition, a D4K40-RGB projector had been strategically fitted in each of the giant-screen theatres, featuring a 14.7-meter (48-foot) screen length and towering 6.2-meter (20-foot) height.

“The Mogao Grottoes stand as an unparalleled repository of global Buddhist art, housing the world’s largest collection of such invaluable treasures,” said Hailong Wang, project manager of Huayi Shengshi Technology. “Dunhuang Research Academy’s efforts to showcase these precious artifacts through high-definition documentary films in these upgraded digital theatres are highly commendable. We are honored to have played a pivotal role in this transformative project, dedicated to enhancing the visitor experience and sharing these historical treasures with a global audience.”

The D4K40-RGB pure laser projectors were chosen for their remarkable features, such as high brightness, true-to-life colors, long-lasting RGB pure laser illumination, minimal consumables, and ease of long-term maintenance. The installation and commissioning of these projectors took five months due to complex aspects of the project, including secondary site modifications, demolition, and reconstruction. Supporting facilities were also upgraded to optimize projector performance.

“The projection results have exceeded our expectations, and the client is pleased with the exceptional image quality and overall performance of the D4K40-RGB projectors,” Wang remarked. “Upgrading to RGB pure laser projection has elevated the visual experience to a whole new level, validating the successful accomplishment of this major refurbishment project.”

April Qin, senior sales director for China, Enterprise, Christie, added, “This project exemplifies Christie’s commitment to providing advanced and reliable projection solutions that enhance audience experiences in culturally significant venues. The giant-screen and dome theatres at the Mogao Grottoes Digital Exhibition Center are integral to the conservation, management, and research of the Mogao Grottoes, and Christie takes pride in contributing to their continued significance.”

Featuring an all-in-one, compact design, the D4K40-RGB boasts a reliable light source with 20,000 hours of illumination performance for uninterrupted visuals. It also has an expanded color gamut that produces over 95% of Rec. 2020, offering rich, vibrant, true-to-life visuals. Additionally, the D4K40-RGB offers unparalleled installation flexibility with omnidirectional capabilities. Energy-efficient and equipped with Christie TruLife electronics, it’s at the forefront of high-brightness RGB pure laser projection technology.

Unimarket Releases New eGuide ‘Evaluating eProcurement Solutions’

Leave a comment



“Choosing the best procure-to-pay solution provider is a critical decision for organizations seeking to streamline their business processes and reduce their spend,” says Phillip Kenney, CEO of Unimarket. “With our new eGuide, they will have the confidence to ask the right questions, maximize the ROI of their eProcurement initiatives, and learn what potential pitfalls to avoid.”

“Selecting the best software platform requires a comprehensive understanding of an organization’s needs, the different ways an eProcurement solution can meet those needs, and what each solution provider can offer,” says Darren Blakely, President of Unimarket North America. “It’s about more than choosing the option with the most features.”

Unimarket’s latest eGuide helps organizations look beyond the marketing and sales pitches to the elements that have the most significant impact on the success of an eProcurement project. These include:

  • Usability: How easily can end users find and buy what they need while remaining compliant with their organization’s procurement policy?
  • Compatibility: How well does the solution integrate with other solutions to ensure maximum efficiency and visibility?
  • Support: What level of support and commitment does the solution provider deliver before, during and after the implementation?

“Identifying a software platform is vital, but it’s just one part of finding the right eProcurement solution provider,” says Dan Mackay, Unimarket’s Head of Operations, North America. “Look for a provider willing to work closely with you every step of the way, from implementation to ongoing process improvement and optimization. This is especially true for small and medium-sized organizations that either don’t have large procurement teams or don’t have significant eProcurement experience.”

To download the complete eGuide, visit Evaluating eProcurement: 11 Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Provider.

Comics go to college–RIT opens Kubert Comics Lounge and Gallery

Leave a comment


Comics fans have a super friend in Rochester Institute of Technology and a new place to pay homage to legendary DC Comics artist and educator Joe Kubert: The Kubert Lounge and Gallery opens to the public this fall in RIT’s university library.

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Sept. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Comics fans have a super friend in Rochester Institute of Technology and a new place to pay homage to legendary DC Comics artist and educator Joe Kubert. 
The Kubert Lounge and Gallery opens to the public this fall at the Cary Graphic Arts Collection in RIT’s university library. Marvel Comics artist and RIT alumnus Adam Kubert ’81 (medical illustration) donated his father’s archive to inspire young artists.
The grand opening of the Kubert Comics Lounge and Gallery—6-8 p.m. Sept. 21 on the RIT campus—celebrates the donation and ongoing collaboration with Adam Kubert.
A moderated conversation between Kubert and British writer Nikesh Shukla, two of the creators of Spider-Man India, will be held at 6 p.m. in RIT’s Ingle Auditorium. A signing and tour of the Kubert Lounge and Gallery will follow at Wallace Library. The event is free and open to the public; however, attendance is limited and registration is required.
The gallery in the Kubert Lounge will exhibit, “Spider-Man India: The Cover Art of Adam Kubert,” and feature his illustrations for the comic book series. The show will run from Sept. 21 to Dec. 15.

Kubert is known for illustrating Wolverine, X-Men, The Fantastic Four, the Incredible Hulk, and Spider-Man. He recently illustrated the five covers of the Spider-Man India series. The animated feature film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse introduced Pavitr Prabhakar/Spider-Man India to fans everywhere.
The Kubert Archive includes process work and finished art, and a singular piece of comics history—the drafting table where Joe Kubert drew Sgt. Roch, Hawkman, Tor, Tarzan, and the Green Beret, among other characters.
Adam Kubert donated his father’s archive to RIT’s Cary Graphic Arts Collection for students and scholars to learn about his craft in a hands-on educational setting.
“My Dad was part of the Golden Age of comics, which these days is fairly important,” Kubert said. “I want to make his things available so people can learn how he worked and the tools he used, and what better place than at RIT, where I went to school? I’m hoping the creativeness washes over as many people as possible.”
The personal effects on the drafting table on display at RIT are exactly where the late Joe Kubert left them. RIT archivists recreated Kubert’s work surface from photographs taken of his office at the Kubert School he founded in Dover, N.J.
“Joe Kubert’s drafting table is a tangible piece of comic books history,” said Steven Galbraith, curator of the RIT Cary Graphic Arts Collection. “It gives you a real sense of how he worked as an artist. Even his pencil shavings remain.”
The comic book originated in the United States in the early 20th century and is the focus of the relatively new academic field of comics studies. This discipline explores the art, narrative, technology, and social and cultural significance of the medium. An immersion offered at RIT in comics studies focuses on the history of cartooning, comics, sequential art, and visual storytelling, and the practice making comics and cartoon art.
