The leaves out side stir slightly as a cool light breeze touches them. The sunlight is untainted. The sky is perfectly blue. Last night, as storm blew through and now a young lady sits in front of me. Her straight hair is dark, and flows past her shoulders, and her eyelashes follow her sleepy blue eyes as they gaze over her computer. For her, in that moment, she is unreconciled with her own fate.Hellen Frisk's journey started several months...more

The recent move by two groups of Queen's Counsel from London to set up shop in Singapore is a testimony to the city states standing as a global arbitration hub. It has been reported that the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) has so far handled close to 150 cases this year involving claims over $1.4 billion, compared to 86 cases involving some $310 million in 2007. The fact that two thirds of arbitrations conducted in Singapore only involve foreign parties proves that Singapore is a destination of choice when it comes to arbitrations.A 2007 report published by the ICC International Court of Arbitration ranked Singapore as the top city in Asia for ICC arbitrations and one of the five most popular arbitration venues since 2000, alongside Paris, London, Geneva and Zurich. The entry of the two groups gives further boost to the reputation of Singapore as an arbitration hub.Singapore is a party to the 1958 New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards.

When you have to ship internationally, there is a great deal of paperwork in addition to the regular documentation that will accompany a domestic shipment. Trucking services can usually give you a great deal of guidance in these matters, but it can be useful to do some preliminary research. If you're shipping especially large loads of cargo, you might want to talk to an international shipping specialist or broker. If you're just sending a single package up to a client, there are usually less restrictions and regulations to contend with. Be sure to always tell your trucking company exactly what you are shipping, and they should be able to tell you immediately what the requirements are going to be to get your shipment across the border. There aren't usually to many extreme requirements for cross border shipping, but the most complicated ones come if you require either an export license of any kind, or a certificate that shows your license to export under the terms of any international trade agreement. For instance, if you are shipping any goods which are covered under NAFTA, you will need a NAFTA certificate. If you haven't obtained or completed this type of paperwork before, this is...more
