Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized based on a three-level hierarchy. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Spencer Tunick is an internationally-recognized artist-photographer, best known for his large-scale installations of nudes. Dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of volunteers gather in striking public locations, strip, and arrange themselves as he directs. To my eye, his photographs have an anxiety-inducing, vibrating double meaning. On the one hand, they are dazzlingly conceived and beautifully composed. Without prejudice or judgment, they invite participants and viewers of all shapes and sizes into their community. They celebrate without restraint the fleshly quality of human life on Earth. And on the other hand, the vast scale of Mr. Tunick’s installations has a frightening, totalitarian edge. His distant camera and giant cast of characters liquefies his people, in a sense, into an amorphous human paste.

internationally), levels of consumer demand, adverse weather conditions and other factors that are beyond manufacturers’ control. Declines, sustained weakness and volatility in commodity prices over the course of 2015 and 2016, and the consequent reduction in capital expenditures by E&P operators on drilling and production activity, adversely affected the demand for OCTG. However, average crude oil prices during 2017 and the second quarter of 2018 have been substantially higher relative to the low commodity prices experienced in the first quarter of 2016. As a result, drilling and completion activity increased, which resulted in improved operational and financial performance of oil and gas producers.
