Christie's auction house is one of the most famous and respected organizers of auctions in the world.
Only Sotheby's can compare with it, and together they occupy about 90% of the world market of auction sales of antiques and art objects.

The elite auction house began its history in the distant 1766, when James Christie organized the first auction.
And from the very beginning of the existence of Christie was focused specifically on elitism and world leadership.
The clients of the auction house were titled persons who were willing to pay huge sums of money for art and antiques.
Even the royal family sent their collections here, and even the values ​​of the British national heritage, as well as the canvases of most of the great European artists: Impressionists, Modernists, Cubists, were often exhibited as lots.

The most successful times for Christie were XVIII And XIX century.
It was then that the largest world transactions that are spoken about today were committed.
For example, Catherine the Great purchased Sir Robert Worpole's collection at the auction, which later became the basis for the Hermitage exposition.

As in past centuries, today Christie's auction house works only with elite goods.
Paintings and other art objects exhibited at the auction, decorate the exposition of many museums around the world.
Since the auction house has an impeccable reputation, the most eminent clients address its services without fear.
In addition to art, they buy cars, rare books, cigars, collection wines and other valuables here.

Speaking of Christie, you can not fail to mention the most high-profile transactions made at his auctions.

• 1940, Matisse's painting "Persian dress" sold for $17 million, initial cost less than $12 million.
  
• 1990, Vincent van Gogh's picture "Portrait of Dr. Gachet" sold for $80 million (The most expensive card at auctions).
• In 2001, Pablo Picasso's painting from the series of the "blue period" - "Woman with the Crossed Hands" sold for $55 million, twice the starting price.

OCIMF was formed in April 1970 in response to the growing public concern about marine pollution, particularly by oil, after the Torrey Canyon incident in 1967.

In the early 1970s, a variety of anti-pollution initiatives were starting to emerge nationally, regionally and internationally, but with little coordination. Through OCIMF, the oil industry was able to play a stronger, coordinating role in response to these initiatives, making its professional expertise widely available through cooperation with governments and intergovernmental bodies.

OCIMF was granted consultative status at the IMO in 1971 and continues to present oil industry views at IMO meetings. Since then, its role has broadened to take account the changing maritime activities of its membership. Its remit now covers safety, health, security and the environment pertaining to tankers, barges, offshore vessels and terminal interfaces.

The current membership of OCIMF comprises well over 100 companies worldwide.

Today, OCIMF is widely recognised as the voice of the oil industry providing expertise in the safe and environmentally responsible transport and handling of hydrocarbons in ships and terminals and setting standards for continuous improvement. Membership is extensive and includes every oil major in the world along with the majority of National Oil Companies.

OCIMF has much to be proud of. Not only has it contributed to a substantial quantity of regulation at the IMO aimed at improving the safety of tankers and protecting the environment, but it has introduced important new guidance on pressing current issues such as piracy and Arctic shipping. With the process of introducing new Internationally-accepted regulation necessarily slow as it crosses many individual countries and jurisdictions, OCIMF is in the unique position of being able to leverage the expertise of its membership to press ahead with much needed guidance on important industry issues. This provides the means to improve practices in the membership and in the wider industry, and serves as a valuable reference for developing regulation.

In addition to its extensive publications library, OCIMF has a rich portfolio of tools including its Ship Inspection Report (SIRE) programme and Tanker Management and Self Assessment tool (TMSA), both of which have gained worldwide recognition and acceptance. It continues to develop new tools, with OVID the latest to be launched in January 2010, and a new Terminals inspection tool in development.

It remembers what you are listening to (and what you do not want to listen to), and toss new songs based on the choice of other users with similar tastes. If you put a small nozzle on the player, Last.fm will also start to take into account the music you are listening at home.

At the moment, participants Last. Fm listened to and appreciated almost 3 billion tracks, so there's nothing to rely on.
The best way to find out any new artists on Internet is not yet figured out (except for competitors from Pandora.com and LAUNCHcast).

It is believed that Last.fm really should become the 'last radio': the world of FM radio stations will change irrepressibly, but the big Their part will quietly wither away.
It will happen when the majors give Last.fm to use their bottomless archives and the newest Revenues, and this is all going to. Source: Big City

Sotheby's auction house was founded in 1744 by Samuel Baker, and today it is one of the oldest and most famous auction houses in the world.
Together with Christie's, Sotheby's takes about 90% of the world market of antiques auction sales And art objects.

Initially Sotheby's was created as a "club for aristocrats". Moreover, aristocratic origin was required not only from buyers (which is natural, because in those days only aristocrats could afford to buy antiques and art for fabulous money), but also from those wishing to work in the auction house.

Until the middle of the twentieth century Sotheby's lived quite a quiet life, its rapid development began in 1955, when the department was opened in New York. Later, branches also opened in Paris, Los Angeles, Zurich, Toronto, Edinburgh, Johannesburg, Houston, Florence, Melbourne and Munich.

In the times of industrial crisis of the 80s, the auction house almost went bankrupt. In these difficult times, the main competitor, Sotheby's Christie, poured oil on the fire. His leadership in the desire to drive out the competitor lowered his rates, after which Sotheby's revenue fell by more than 50%. In the early nineties, the management of both auction houses decided to go to each other's meeting and agreed on fixing tariffs for services. However, it turned out that fixing rates is considered a crime in USA, where Sotheby's received most of its revenue. Because of this collusion, a scandal broke out, which resulted in the then CEO Sotheby's being sentenced to a year in prison.

Today's affairs in Sotheby's are pretty good. In 2007, one of the world's leading auction houses opened a branch in Moscow, where a number of successful transactions for the sale of Russian art objects were made.
