December 2018 was the busiest and most successful month for residential department of Echo Investment, when 142 apartments was sold and 254 – handed over to clients. The full 2018 results are 950 apartments sold and 986 handed over, what will be reflected in financial results.
"We are one of the largest residential developers in the country and we look forward further strengthening our position. In 2019, we will add to our offer 1,500 premises in large and attractive projects, such as Ordona in Warsaw, Tymienieckiego in Łódź, Our Jeżyce in Poznań or Wita Stwosza in Krakow. Compared to 2018, we will expand our offer by over 50 percent. The new-applied sales strategy, according to which 20 percent of premises should still be on offer when a project ends, pays off with sustainable margins," says Nicklas Lindberg, CEO of Echo Investment.
At the end of 2018 the residential offer was extended by 650 units in Warsaw Brewery E and Reset II in Warsaw, Apartamenty Esencja in Poznań and Ogrody Graua in Wrocław. In January the first reservations are transforming into preliminary agreements. Looking ahead, Echo Investment continues buying new plots. Last year lands in Kraków, Wrocław and Poznań, where approximately 80,000 sqm of apartments can be developed, was bought or secured.
"Our land acquisition team ended up 2018 with preliminary agreement for great plot of land in Kraków, where over 550 units for sale and for rent will be developed. We plan to start construction of the first phase this year. In addition, the vast majority of lands that we are currently negotiating, also are dedicated to be residential," adds Nicklas Lindberg.
The attractiveness of apartments built by Echo Investment is a result of the fact that the company analysed widely social trends and responds to them quickly. The developer started the cooperation with suppliers of modern residential management solutions last year.
"Responding to clients' needs, we equip every premises with the heart of the system for remote management of access, temperature, lighting and other functions. We also answer to new social and mobility needs of city dwellers by implementing 'life-services' in our projects. Those are projects that are fully integrated with a city, equipped with service functions and urban infrastructure. Those services will also increase attractiveness of our rental platform Resi4Rent, which will get up to scale in 2019 in our multifunctional, 'destination' projects," says Waldemar Olbryk, Board Member of Echo Investment responsible for the residential sector.

On Friday 26th January Year 7 & 8 Scholars went to the incredible one and only: Imperial war museum. This visit was very educational and taught us a humongous amount of new information. Ms. Voisey showed us all around and took us to two different exhibits! The first exhibit was to do with the tragic events of the 9/11 attacks (On 11 September 2001, terrorists hijacked four aeroplanes and deliberately flew them into targets in the United States of America. These acts of terrorism killed almost 3,000 people and triggered the subsequent conflict in Afghanistan. http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/events/the_september_11th_terrorist_attacks). The exhibition showed us how it affected the people of the world and they showed the art that was expressed during the time of that terrible incident and after. Some of the citizens of the world were incredibly distraught because of these events and most of the paintings contained dark or dull colours i.e. grey, black, white, brown. We believe that this symbolises the depressive state that shocked the union. In the second
exhibition there were many sculptures and paintings and real-life artefacts that were on display- some being actual pieces of a tank that was used in WW2 and WW1 and it taught us a lot about all of the wars.

RecommendedJ & M Tile Renovation did an excellent job of renovating a 1989 bathroom by bringing it up-to-date. They were very competitive price-wise and did an excellent job on the tile work and other bits and bobs (installing new tub, glass doors, faucets etc.) The work was completed exactly as they promised - within one week. Bathroom looks like a show piece.

RecommendedI'm recommending this company with some reservations. The owner was super friendly, very prompt and responsive, etc. I had to change the work date a few times, so I appreciate his willingness to be flexible. The person in the office was also helpful in terms of dispatch, service updates, etc. However, the people who came to do the job, while friendly, were not the best. They left while I went to get the tiles for the job, and I didn't know why. I called the office, which told me they'd had to go help on another job and would be back later. I'd taken the day off for this and didn't want to hear that! They did come back. I hadn't understood that they'd be using different materials than I'd thought - miscommunication on both ends. They asked me if I had extra grout mix at one point...um, no, that's one of the things that was supposed to be included. So they left and came back with that. The tiles were cut in an odd way and so look a bit unfinished once set. The owner did come over to look at knocked the price down a bit for what he acknowledged were some issues. Admittedly, ours was a small job, but I wish we could get great service for even small projects! My advice - be VERY SPECIFIC about what you're having done, and stay home to watch the work.

My father has been working with a firm in Kuwait for more than 30 years, now he is planning to retire and leave Kuwait, but recently he heard a news that his company is only giving half of the indemnity at the time of resigning and the other half they will pay later.
All these years, he was counting on this money for a retirement life, this news is worrying him a lot. Is it legally valid to give half of indemnity while resigning and other half later? If that person is leaving Kuwait for good, how can he make sure that company is keeping its promise? Can he ask the company not to cancel his visa until they pay him full money? Please advise us.
Name withheld
Answer: Under the Kuwait law all your end of service entitlements must be paid to you before your final exit from Kuwait. This you must attest to, by signing a paper at the Immigration Department, that says that you have indeed received all your settlements from your employers.
Your employers will therefore be breaking the law if they elect to give you half of your indemnity now and settle the other half later. Indeed, a number of companies in Kuwait are guilty of not respecting the law on indemnity payment.
Your father therefore has two choices either to agree and take the partial payment now and leave Kuwait with a power of attorney left with you to collect the other half when it is due. On the other hand, your father can take on the company by filing a complaint with the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour through the Labour Department in his area which will help him claim his full benefits. It must be noted that while this case is being adjudicated your father's company will be obliged not to cancel his residence.
Kindly send your queries to email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com

Create Online Writing Success through Real Relationships
Writing online articles earns you money but it's more than that. This post will help you see why you need to build real relationships while working on the web.
Online article writers, bloggers, graphic artists, etc, have their own little world. They exist not individually but as groups. They engage. They help each other. They compare notes. They give and take. They share. In other words writers are real people. They need appreciation. They need support. They need mutual relationships. If your motivation is just to earn it won't actually work. Maybe it will for a while, but it won't last long. You need to build relationships. Here's how:
- Build a relationship with your articles. You will begin to see that earning doesn't satisfy the real writer. Money doesn't satisfy a writer's heart. Writing has to be of genuine connections. It has to be connected to your core. You write from the inside. You write for what you have already embraced otherwise you will feel something is lacking. Writing articles in a manner that is deeply connected with your being is effective online article writing.
- Build relationships even if you're just starting. You don't have to be big before you can connect with people. Most writers will appreciate being followed by a fellow writer. And the good thing is, when you follow them, they will more likely follow you.
- Build relationship with clients. Clients are usually looking for long-term working relationships and not just one-time projects. You want you to be always available to talk or chat online, open your mails when they send you something, communicate when you are having problems with your assignments. They post reviews on every freelance writer's project performance. Getting good reviews and recommendations means more repeat clients. When clients are satisfied, they are likely to send you more jobs.
- Connect with other online article writers so you could learn faster. It's like fuel to your inner engine. It is tough to start from scratch if you want to be an online writer. You need to know what real people are doing and what they have been through. This makes you feel you are not just on your own and you've got big support.Follow other writers' blog, connect with them and ask questions. See how they write, find out who dominates your niche, and get into their minds. Readers are not like writers. Sometimes they will appreciate you but many times they won't. Writers value their fellow writers. Well, there are some who don't but unless you start making friends and commenting on blogs, etc. you won't find out. Follow at least one writer every week, makes it easy for a start.
- If you're into blogging, post and communicate with your readers regularly. You have to have a relationship with target readers in order to know what's in their hearts and minds and speak directly to them. This will help you know and meet their needs. I have been repeatedly emphasizing this on my posts. Establishing a relationship with your readers is vital. You can do this by listening to them and being there for them. If you are doing blogs, post regularly, at least twice a week so that when your readers visit your site, you have something to offer them.
- Meet people through social media like Facebook and Twitter. Let them know what you're doing. You heard me right; you need to make your online presence known. You don't have to wait until you have the most perfect blog or piece of writing before you sell yourself. The writing practice is a journey. Your readers will see later that you never stop improving. Start sharing your written content now.
- Show yourself. Another important advice is you need to let people know you. Flaunt your photograph, don't hide your information. Clients are looking for somebody whom they can truly prove as a real and authentic person. If you don't get them the idea on who you are or how to contact you, chances are they won't. Hiding behind a pen name may work in some cases like on your school paper but writing online articles is different. Since business is done mainly on the internet, you better show yourself as an authentic freelance writer.

Are you hungry for a taste of the Scottish countryside? Lionel Edwards obliges in his 1929 work, Scottish Sketchbook. The compilation of many sporting (and sketching) trips to Scotland, the book is a lovely gem filled with impressions of Scottish country life in early 20th Century.
The sketches are as varied as the landscape of Scotland itself, and Edwards relates the collection to the variety and admixture of Scottish foods. There's a lot to dig into in the book, which is full of small vignettes and memories.
"These sketches – for they do not aspire to be anything higher – have now been collected, and are served up in the mixed form of a hash. Perhaps, to continue in gastronomical terms, "Scotch Collops" would be a more appropriate title, since with one exception they have not been previously published, and therefore resemble the latter dish in being composed entirely of fresh meat."
–– Lionel Edwards, Scottish Sketchbook, Introduction
"I hope I can claim the negative virtue of being not worse than my neighbours, but, if one can gauge the minds of others by one's own, one is bound to admit that the green-eyed monster at times mocks one's best endeavours. Although I cannot claim to be a real fisherman, even I have noticed that usually all the luck goes to 'the other boat'!"
Lionel Edwards (1878-1966) was a prolific sporting artist of the early 20th Century. Born in Wales, the fifth son of a doctor, Edwards learned to love the countryside and country sport at an early age. Much of his career was spent depicting country pursuits in their element, including foxhunting, fishing and shooting.
Hungry for more? This is one of over 100 books available to purchase through the NSLM Annual Auction. The Annual Auction, composed of duplicates from the Library collections, will continue until November 8. This year's Auction includes some lovely sporting art and is perfect for holiday shopping; contact John Connolly, the George L. Ohrstrom, Jr. Librarian for more information.

July 4, 2006 marked the seventh anniversary of large Sunday service increases across Melbourne's train and tram networks. The boost removed the need for passengers to meticulously plan their trips and slashed waiting times across the network.
Though timetable and service improvements such as this are often overshadowed by other things their importance cannot be over-stressed. The Sunday increase occurred a few years after off-peak weekday train services in the eastern and southern suburbs went from 20 to 15 minute headways. Both increases, which occurred under the Kennett government, did more than anything else to make public transport more practical for the complex travel needs of a seven-day city.

Thirty five years ago I had yet to be born, but artist Scott Weaver had already begun work on this insanely complex kinetic sculpture, Rolling through the Bay, that he continues to modify and expand even today. The elaborate sculpture is comprised of multiple "tours" that move pingpong balls through neighborhoods, historical locations, and iconic symbols of San Francisco, all recreated with a little glue, some toothpicks, and an incredible amount of ingenuity. He admits in the video that there are several toothpick sculptures even larger than his, but none has the unique kinetic components he's constructed. Via his website Weaver estimates he's spent over 3,000 hours on the project, and the toothpicks have been sourced from around the world:

Arbitration & ADR
Application and interpretation of Article IV of New York ConventionCyprus | 04 June 2020
In recent years there has been a substantial number of cases in which the courts have had to determine whether applicants seeking the recognition and enforcement of an arbitral award have complied with the requirements set out in Article IV of the New York Convention, which the Supreme Court has ruled must be strictly satisfied. The principles highlighted in this article should help to shed light on the courts' interpretation and application of Article IV.
District court examines scope of arbitration agreements and arbitrability of disputeCyprus | 27 February 2020
In a recent case before the Limassol District Court, the Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network applied for the recognition and enforcement of two arbitral awards which had been issued by the International Commercial Arbitration Court at the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The dispute concerned the breach of two film licensing agreements by the respondent, Trevano Pictures Limited.
Supreme Court confirms that inadequately justified arbitral award amounts to arbitrator misconductCyprus | 12 December 2019
In a recent Supreme Court case, the appellant appealed against a first-instance judgment in which he had sought to annul an arbitral award. The dispute related to the non-payment of a loan granted by the respondent to the appellant and a subsequent challenge of the amount owed. Arbitration had taken place in which the arbitrator had issued his decision in favour of the respondent.
District court reaffirms narrow scope of public policy argument against recognition of arbitral awardsCyprus | 05 September 2019
In a recent Limassol District Court case, the applicants applied for the recognition and enforcement of a London Court of International Arbitration award, which the respondents argued was contrary to Cypriot public policy pursuant to the New York Convention. This case serves as a useful reminder that the courts will rarely resort to public policy grounds to refuse the recognition of an arbitral award unless presented with cogent evidence.
Court clarifies application of Article VI of New York ConventionCyprus | 30 May 2019
In a recent Limassol District Court case, the applicants applied for the recognition and enforcement of an arbitral award issued by the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce. The case is one of the first examples of the judicial interpretation and application of Article VI of the New York Convention by the Cypriot courts and serves as a useful guide to the proper procedure to be followed by parties when invoking said article.
District court rejects public policy argument against recognition of arbitral awardCyprus | 04 April 2019
A recent Limassol District Court decision serves as a useful reminder that the courts will rarely resort to public policy grounds for refusing the recognition of arbitral awards unless presented with cogent evidence. In addition, the courts are prepared to demonstrate the necessary flexibility dictated by modern commercial practices in examining the imperative requirements of Article IV of the New York Convention in a manner which will not hamper the convention's underlying objectives.
Nature of foreign arbitral award not altered despite judicial recognition by another EU member stateCyprus | 07 February 2019
In a recent Limassol District Court case, the applicants applied to the court to set aside a Cypriot court order which had allowed the ex parte recognition and enforcement of a Dutch judgment pursuant to the EU Brussels Regulation or, alternatively, the recast EU Brussels Regulation. The applicants raised several arguments to support their application – in particular, the fact that the Netherlands judgment allowed for the registration and execution of the arbitral award only in the Netherlands.
Supreme Court dismisses appeal in Michaelides v Cooperative Bank of PegiaCyprus | 13 December 2018
The Supreme Court recently dismissed an appeal of a first-instance judgment which had applied the well-established principle that arbitral award registrations are a formality wherein district courts do not proceed to examine the merits or substance of the award. The Supreme Court rejected all of the appellant's arguments, dismissed the appeal in its entirety and endorsed the first-instance court's approach, which had been based on well-established case law.
Appellants partially succeed in challenging first-instance court judgmentCyprus | 04 October 2018
The Supreme Court recently ruled that only part of a court judgment that had upheld an arbitrator's decision would be set aside. The appellants had raised a number of objections in their appeal, including that the summons to recognise and enforce the arbitral award had been filed improperly as the hearing had not been conducted in the same manner as a lawsuit, the parties had not agreed to refer the dispute to an arbitrator and the arbitrator had not had the legal authority to issue a mortgage disposal order.
Supreme Court annuls arbitral award due to arbitrator's impartialityCyprus | 02 August 2018
In a recent Supreme Court case, the appellants appealed to the court to set aside or annul the first-instance court judgment which had upheld an arbitrator's decision. The Supreme Court agreed with the appellants' position on the matter and stated that the first-instance court had failed to deal with the examination of the legitimacy of the arbitration proceedings and the manner in which the arbitrator had conducted the proceedings.
Court finds real likelihood of bias and orders arbitrator's dismissalCyprus | 24 May 2018
In a recent Limassol District Court case, the applicants applied for the dismissal and replacement of an arbitrator. They argued that the relationship between the arbitrator and the respondents' main witness in the arbitration proceedings and his brother would lead a reasonable person to find that there was a real likelihood of bias. As a result, the applicants argued that the relationship between the parties constituted misconduct in arbitration proceedings.
From Russia with love? District court rejects application to enforce Russian arbitral awardCyprus | 12 April 2018
In a recent Limassol District Court case, the applicants requested the registration and enforcement in Cyprus of a Russian arbitral award. Τhe court found that the applicants had failed to provide evidence of whether Russia was a contracting state to the New York Convention and that the award's translation did not fulfil the convention's requirements. As a result, the application to register and enforce the arbitral award was rejected.
Only arbitrator has locus standi before court regarding extension of arbitration procedureCyprus | 15 February 2018
The Nicosia District Court recently issued an order which referred a dispute to arbitration. The order stipulated that the arbitrator should deliver a final decision within nine months. One of the parties applied to the court for an extension of the arbitration procedure. The court rejected the application on the ground that only the arbitrator had the right to apply for such an extension.
Court rules that pending appeal does not suspend arbitral awardCyprus | 30 November 2017
The Limassol District Court recently concluded that an appeal pending before the English courts does not suspend an order's enforcement or diminish the validity of an arbitral award. The applicants had applied for the recognition and enforcement of an arbitral award issued in May 2016. The court held that the order was final and that there had been no abuse of process; the respondents' request to set aside the award was therefore rejected.
Court applies res judicata in dismissing objection to recognition and enforcement of arbitral awardCyprus | 28 September 2017
In a recent Limassol District Court case, the applicants applied for the recognition and enforcement of an arbitral award issued by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The respondents had previously applied to the Cypriot courts to set aside and annul the arbitral award pursuant to the International Commercial Arbitration Law. In their objection to the application for the recognition of the award, the respondents advanced additional grounds to those raised in their earlier application to annul the award.
District Court of Limassol denies originating summons applicationCyprus | 17 August 2017
The District Court of Limassol recently issued a judgment in relation to an application filed by the Cooperative Bank of Limassol in 2016. The applicants had sought a court order to cross-examine the affiant on certain paragraphs of his affidavit, which supported a 2014 application for the registration and enforcement of an arbitral award in Cyprus.
Court considers scope of Article V(1)(c) of New York ConventionCyprus | 22 June 2017
The applicant in a recent case applied to the Limassol District Court for the registration and enforcement of an arbitral award which had been issued by the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA). This case sheds light on the interpretation and application of Article V(1)(c) of the New York Convention and clarifies that an arbitral award, including an award for costs, is registrable before the courts even in cases where the LCIA has no jurisdiction.
Supreme Court considers Article IV of New York Convention for registration of arbitral awardsCyprus | 11 May 2017
In a recent Supreme Court case, the appellants challenged a first-instance court judgment which had refused the registration and execution in Cyprus of a foreign arbitral award issued by the International Commercial Arbitration Court. The appellants claimed that the first-instance judge had erred in concluding that the requirement under Article IV(1)(a) of the New York Convention had not been fulfilled.
Court decides that conduct in previous proceedings had effect of abandonment of arbitration clauseCyprus | 16 February 2017
A recent Supreme Court decision concerned an application to set aside an admiralty action based on the arbitration clause in the guarantee agreement signed by the parties concerned. The court relied on the doctrine of abandonment and decided that the arbitration clause had been abandoned with the parties' consent. As a result, the defendants were estopped from claiming that they had not abandoned their right to activate the arbitration clause and their claim was dismissed.
Recognition and enforcement of London Court of International Arbitration awardCyprus | 01 December 2016
Lukoil Mid-East Limited filed an application with the Nicosia District Court for the recognition and enforcement in Cyprus of a London Court of International Arbitration award. Terra Seis Cyprus Limited objected on the grounds that the substantive and procedural prerequisites for the recognition and enforcement of the arbitral award in Cyprus had not been met. The court thus considered whether the requirements under Section IV of the New York Convention had been satisfied.
Court examines whether arbitral award is contrary to public policyCyprus | 18 August 2016
In a recent district court case the applicants applied to register and enforce an arbitral decision issued by the Russian International Commercial Arbitration Court. The respondents argued that recognition of the award was contrary to public policy, but this was rejected by the court. Practitioners should consider how rarely the public policy defence is used and ensure that they can prove the existence of exceptional circumstances which warrant court intervention and protection.
Court enforces foreign arbitration awardCyprus | 16 June 2016
In a recent Nicosia District Court case the applicants applied to register and enforce a Russian International Commercial Arbitration Court arbitral award. The court examined whether the applicants had complied with the requirements of Article IV of the New York Convention. It decided that there was no ground for refusing enforcement and allowed the application for recognition and enforcement of the award in Cyprus.
Court examines whether res judicata principle applies to arbitral awardCyprus | 28 April 2016
In a recent district court case the applicants applied to register and enforce an arbitral award issued in their favour by the London Court of International Arbitration. The respondents objected to the registration and enforcement of the award, arguing that the principle of res judicata was applicable, as the same arbitral award had not been recognised and enforced in an earlier case before the Cypriot courts.
Arbitral awards set aside due to arbitrator misconductCyprus | 03 March 2016
The Nicosia District Court recently set aside two arbitral awards after it found that the arbitrator had misconducted himself in the proceedings. While instances of arbitrator misconduct are limited, the obvious disregard for procedure which restricts the fair treatment of parties will always be upheld by the courts. Practitioners should therefore endeavour to assist arbitrators to ensure that due procedure is followed.
Court rejects application to recognise enforcement of foreign arbitration awardsCyprus | 17 December 2015
In a recent case the applicant applied for the registration in Cyprus of two arbitral awards issued against the respondents. The respondents challenged the application on the grounds that the relevant documents had not been translated by an official, sworn translator, as required by law. The court agreed and rejected the application. Practitioners must ensure compliance with the provisions for the translation of arbitral awards during the application stage.
Recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awardsCyprus | 29 October 2015
An arbitration award may be enforced under the International Commercial Arbitration Law, which covers all matters related to international commercial arbitration. Under the law an arbitral award is recognised as binding, irrespective of the country in which it was issued. The party seeking execution must file an application at court with an original copy of the arbitral award and the arbitration agreement.
Tips for drafting an effective arbitration agreementCyprus | 27 August 2015
The Cypriot courts have adopted a pro-arbitration approach and usually give effect to arbitration agreements. However, there are instances in which one party may be allowed to circumvent an arbitration agreement and take advantage of the court's jurisdiction. An effective arbitration clause or agreement should be in writing, be broad in scope and be as clear and unambiguous as possible.
Court confirms pro-arbitration approach following stay of proceedings requestCyprus | 02 July 2015
The Supreme Court recently confirmed its pro-arbitration approach regarding applications for a stay of proceedings in a decision concerning a loan agreement with an arbitration clause stating that disputes between the parties would be resolved by the Norwegian Arbitration Court. The court rejected the claimant's argument that the arbitration clause was void due to uncertainty.
Supreme Court rejects claim of arbitrator misconductCyprus | 23 April 2015
In a recent judgment, the Supreme Court held that the legal scope of the term 'arbitrator misconduct' does not cover the legal interpretation of documents. According to Article 20(2) of the Arbitration Law, an arbitration award may be set aside where an arbitrator has misconducted himself or herself or the proceedings, or when the award has been improperly procured.
Supreme Court issues certiorari decree to repeal overseas arbitration judgmentCyprus | 12 February 2015
The Supreme Court recently issued a certiorari decree to repeal an arbitration judgment from a Korean court. The applicant argued that a civil court decree which enforced the Korean ruling was unlawful, as a decision from a foreign court is recognised only when at least one of the parties stays within the territory of the civil court. The parties in question were registered in China and Korea.
Unregistered award not enforceableCyprus | 11 December 2014
In Uralmetprom v Besuno Ltd, the Supreme Court held that an application based on an arbitration award which had not been registered or recognised in Cyprus was destined to fail, since the award was not enforceable. The case concerned the filing of an application to wind up a company on behalf of a creditor whose capacity as such was based on an arbitration ruling which was not registered or recognised in Cyprus.
Injunctive relief against non-parties to arbitrationCyprus | 02 October 2014
In a recent case the applicant requested an interlocutory order preventing the first respondents from disposing of assets of the second respondent's company until a full hearing before arbitration forums in Stockholm and London. The first respondents disputed the Cypriot court's jurisdiction to grant such orders as the applicants sought orders against respondents that were not parties to the arbitrations under consideration.
Court rules on execution of arbitral awardCyprus | 12 June 2014
According to Supreme Court case law, registration of an arbitral judgment in order to be executed is procedural in nature. Therefore, the court is limited to examining the procedural requirements for registration and cannot address any substantive issues related to the correctness of the arbitral award.
Court considers registration of arbitral decisionCyprus | 20 February 2014
In a recent case before the Nicosia District Court, the applicant requested a court order for the registration of an earlier arbitral decision for execution purposes. During the application hearing, the court noted that the Arbitration Act provides for the possibility of registering an arbitral decision, and determines the registration process after permission is granted by the court.
Court rejects application to enforce Russian arbitral decisionCyprus | 28 November 2013
In a recent application before the Nicosia District Court, the applicant sought recognition and enforcement of a decision issued by the International Commercial Arbitration Court (ICAC) at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation in December 2011. The respondent filed an objection arguing that an original or true copy of the decision issued by the ICAC had not been submitted together with the application.
Recognising and enforcing arbitral awards: principles for courtsCyprus | 19 September 2013
The Nicosia District Court recently outlined certain principles related to the institution of arbitration and mentioned various cases that determine the philosophy, spirit, level and manner of approach which the courts should apply when dealing with the identification, registration and execution of arbitration decisions, and also with decisions of international arbitration courts.
Procedure for enforcing foreign arbitral decisionsCyprus | 04 July 2013
Arbitral decisions or awards that have been granted in foreign countries can be enforced in Cyprus by virtue of the International Commercial Arbitration Law, which covers all matters pertaining to international commercial arbitration. An order may be issued by the court in relation to the execution of any foreign arbitral decision once a written application to this effect has been filed by any of the parties.
Are freezing orders granted by EU arbitral tribunals recognised in Cyprus?Cyprus | 18 April 2013
As a member of the European Community, Cyprus is bound by the Regulation on Jurisdiction and the Recognition and Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters. Therefore, a worldwide freezing order or other order issued by an arbitral tribunal of any EU member state will be recognised by the courts of Cyprus without the need for special procedures, subject to certain limitations.
Defining commercial arbitration: are shareholders' agreements covered?Cyprus | 31 January 2013
The definition of 'commercial arbitration' under international law was the focus of a recent Nicosia District Court decision. Although the definition is very wide and encompasses a multitude of relationships, including professional cooperation, it is not exhaustive. The court therefore had to consider whether a shareholders' agreement was covered by the definition, despite not being explicitly mentioned in the relevant law.
Impact of arbitral tribunal order on Cypriot court judgmentCyprus | 01 November 2012
In a recent judgment, the Nicosia District Court clarified important aspects of the International Commercial Arbitration Law and its application. The law provides a mechanism through which the Cypriot courts are given wide powers to issue interim mandatory, prohibitive and/or freezing orders in aid of international commercial arbitration that has been commenced or is about to commence.
Employment & Immigration
Supreme Court declares legislation extending paternity leave and benefits to unmarried fathers unconstitutionalCyprus | 06 March 2019
In late 2018 the House of Representatives introduced amendments which granted paternity leave and benefits to unmarried working fathers. However, the government referred the amending laws to the Supreme Court, claiming that they would add unbudgeted costs to its budget and therefore violate the Constitution. The Supreme Court recently accepted the government's position and declared the amendments unconstitutional.
Real Estate
Supreme Court rejects administrative recourse challenging compulsory acquisition noticeCyprus | 02 August 2019
The Supreme Court recently rejected a first-instance rejection of a property owner's request for the return of land that had been compulsorily acquired by the state in 1977. The applicant claimed that the land was not being used for one of the acquisition's original purposes. However, the court found that as the applicant had taken no measures against the initial acquisition, he could not call it into question after 35 years by relying on the broadness of the stated purposes.

more thoughts & a Mir quote
after thinking on it a bit, I believe that Lesnar's "antics" come from a pretty deep-set sense of inadequacy. I wonder if he has a really teeny-weeny. Like a dickie-doo. We'll (hopefully) never know. For all of Lesnar's talk of "loving" the boos, you know it hurts. part of his journey from scripted circus clown to mixed martial arts is a quest for legitimacy, for the people to love him as an athlete. They don't. He's a jackoff, which he proved at his most emotional moment.
Frank Mir speaks up to the press, closing with
"Hopefully next time, I'll show him how somebody is supposed to act in victory."
While the interview has plenty of cockiness (bordering on seemingly self-delusional, but athletes always seem that way), it also has plenty of humility and congratulations for Lesnar. Mir is just not a jackoff like Lesnar.
So, hopefully Mir wins two or three in a row and we see Lesnar-Mir III. I'd pay for it.

I was looking for a desktop to do video editing and some light gaming so I went for AMD Ryzen build. As it is my first time assembling by myself I faced quite a few challenges.
Including having a hard time pulling the psu cable from the motherboard header. Also, because the ram I ordered was a bit too tall I could not install one of the AIO fan onto the radiator, so I had to buy a noctua slim fan to fit into the space, and then moved the original aio fan to the back of the case.
Overall quite happy with the parts and the end result. The overclocked results aren't the best but I'm satisfied with them. And definitely enjoying the RGB lighting =)
Part Reviews
At $345 cdn I have no complaints. Good enough for games and rendering is quite fast.
CPU Cooler
5 Stars! The fans are quiet, the rgb lights are pretty and works well with motherboard light syncing program. Keeps my Ryzen 7 2700x cpu at around 69C under load. Nothing to complain!
Good motherboard, does everything I need it to be. Do be careful with the ram height. With the placement of the ram sticks I was not able to install one of my AIO water cooler's fan. Overclock runs pretty smooth, with temperature of around 67C.
The ram works well and I was able to get it to 3000 hz. Only thing is that it does NOT sync with the motherboard. It does a rainbow light up but not in sync with the motherboard lightning and you cannot change it. On the website I believe it says it's compatible with mystic light. But No, it doesn't.
Got a deal on these. The test result: read speed 3426mb/s, write 2780mb/s
Video Card
absolutely beautiful graphics card. got them on a deal. Runs really quite and performs well. Did not go above 70C with stress test. The default curve actually prevents the gpu fan from spinning below 60C, but I changed it. Original boost is 1830, I was able to put another 110 on top in afterburner.
So many places to route your cables. The psu compartment, however, is very small. You have to plug in all your cables first before you install the psu onto the case. And making any changes are a pain. Beautiful lights though. The 3 front case fans create a bit high pitched whine but its not very loud. A guest would probably not notice that the PC is turned on if they didn't pay attention.
Power Supply
Modular and works. Got rated highly from reviewers.

Choosing Between Radial Lift and Vertical Lift GEHL Skid Loaders
GEHL skid loader models and lift configurations are better suited to certain tasks than others. Depending on your work load and task, radial lifts and vertical lifts are suited for a particular type of job.
You can spot the difference in lift capabilities in the swing arc geometry of the skid loader from about 3 feet off the ground to full height. Once it begins to raise, the radial-lift skid loader swings out in an arc before reaching its peak height. The vertical-lift skid loader arm raises straight up.
Radial vs Vertical Lifts
The major difference between the radial-lift and vertical-lift skid steer is the geometry of each lift arm. The choice between radial lift or vertical lift systems really boils down to your application. A GEHL radial-lift skid loader will perform the same job as a GEHL vertical-lift skid loader, but there are certain tasks that each loader preforms better than the other.
Radial Lift
A radial lift skid loader keeps the maximum reach at the middle of its lift height. This is highly beneficial for loading flatbed trucks and back-filling.
GEHL radial-arm skid steers are best used for:
- excavating
- grading and site prep
- digging below grade
- loading and unloading flatbeds
- breaking and prying applications
If strength, stability, and durability are your focal points, a radial lift arm loader may be for you.
Vertical Lift
A vertical lift skid loader keeps the load closer to the machine through much of the lift cycle and it offers a greater overall lift height. If you are loading a lot of dirt into a dump truck, the vertical-lift skid steer is the machine for the job.
GEHL vertical-arm skid steers best used for:
- material handling
- landscaping
- pallet fork work
- load and carry applications
If you are uncertain what your job may throw at you, the versatility of a vertical lift arm loader may be the ideal choice.
Choosing the right Skid Loader
Gehl skid loaders are used across all industries, but some skid loaders are better suited for certain jobs. Before making any decisions, make sure that you are choosing the option that is most suitable for your needs. Talk to a Norris Sales representative and they can assist you in picking out the right GEHL skid loaders with the specific lift capabilities for your project.
Norris Sales is a certified GEHL dealer. Buy or rent GEHL products and parts from both our PA and NJ locations. Contact a knowledgeable representative today »

Rider Falls Off Kymco Vitality Within 2 Seconds
Kymco used to be a Honda division that split and started producing two-wheel products on its own. Kymco Vitality is one of its best selling scooters, especially around Europe. The scooter is known for being very stable, but it also has a sporty appearance. The sporty profile of this scooter is also defined in this short video. Practically, it has a bit too much power for a newbie. As he rides away and starts moving on, the rider falls within the first couple of seconds only. Obviously, a little experience is highly recommended, even when the scooter is not the most powerful one in the world.

Making that connection — it's what we always want to do whether we are talking with friends and family, meeting with a client, or giving a presentation before a large group.
"The words communication and connection are entwined," says speech presentation coach Eileen Sinett. "But today communication has come to have the connotation of a one-way experience; we communicate through an E-mail or a report or a phone message. But to connect with someone is to interact with that other person; to both give and receive a message."
"Connect" is an important word in Sinett's vocabulary. Speaking That Connects, Sinett's company, based at 610 Plainsboro Road, also is the name her new book, which was published in August. And to help deliver her message on the importance of making connections (as opposed to just contacts), Sinett will host "Connecting With Clients" at her monthly networking breakfast on Friday, September 30, at 8:30 a.m.. Cost: $10. E-mail eileen@speakingthat connects.com.
The breakfast meeting is an open discussion, rather than a lecture. "I come up with the themes, but this is not me instructing the other people at the breakfast," Sinett says. "The value I see in our breakfasts is that we learn from each other — we connect. It is an innovative process where the discussion emerges in the moment."
Sinett has worked as a coach and consultant, a facilitator, and keynote speaker for more than 25 years. She first became interested in helping people with physical disabilities after watching a Jerry Lewis telethon in high school. "I'm probably one of the few people who can list Jerry Lewis as a career influence," she says. She first thought about physical therapy, but a counselor, after looking at her interests and strengths, suggested speech pathology instead.
She enrolled at Emerson College in Boston, which offered a wide variety of courses in every aspect of speech communications. "Everyone in speech pathology was also required to have a minor in communications arts," she says. "That meant that I took courses in interpersonal communications, debate, and oral interpretation as well as in speech pathology. We were required to perfect our own overall communications skills as well as learn about our particular area of study."
Sinett received her bachelor's degree in 1971 and earned a master's in speech correction from Kean University in 2002. Her first job was in a county hospital where she worked with children who had developmental problems and geriatric stroke patients. Her next position was with what is now the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
Sinett left the hospital in 1979 to strike out on her own. She now provides individual coaching and customized group programs for leaders, executives, and entrepreneurs. Her clients include large corporations, non-profit organizations, and individual professionals.
Sinett also has several unique presentations that she gives to groups, including Speaking That Connects workshops, ReHearsals, a practice, technique, and feedback forum for public speakers, and DEPTH (Delivering Exceptional Presentations That Heal), a professional speaking group. Through the Plainsboro Library she works with English as a Second Language students to help them to reduce their accents and become comfortable speaking English.
Her book focuses on the process for presenting with confidence and engaging your audience. On Friday, November 11, she will hold a talk and book signing at Plainsboro Public Library.
For Sinett, connection is about much more than just verbal communication. "It is how we communicate with each other through our body language, our relationships, our intentions, and our compassion," she says. "It is dynamic, not static."
Connection is particularly important in business. "Whether you are making a phone call, meeting someone at a networking group, or negotiating a contract, making a connection with the other person is an important part of supporting that relationship."
Connection is about listening to the other person's needs and becoming aware of how you can help them.
Sinett's book focuses on connection when speaking to groups. "Public speaking is the number one fear — even before death — in the Book of Lists," she says.
While we often think of the keynote speaker presenting to hundreds when we talk about public speaking, most of us at one time or another must speak before a group. Whether it is a 30-second "elevator speech" at a networking event or a presentation before a group of colleagues in a corporate setting, connecting with the audience is an important part of selling your ideas, she says.
"The subject matter isn't important," Sinett says. "Even if you are presenting a dry list of facts and figures at a budget meeting, the important thing is to connect with your audience so that they can better understand what you are presenting."
So many times after hearing a presentation the listeners walk away with a polite yawn and no real memory of what was said. "I want more people to have presentation excellence," she says. "I want their listeners walking away feeling a connection to the speaker, and thinking about the ideas they heard."
The easiest way to avoid leaving your listeners bored and strengthening their connection it to learn to be comfortable with yourself while standing in front of an audience. "Again, the connection between speaker and audience is about so much more than words," Sinett says. "It is about body language, facial expression, your message and your delivery – all of these are the things we use to express our ideas to other people."
Connection, she says, is about expressing the essence of who you are to the people who you are with. No matter what the situation, learning to make that connection will improve your communication.

Fairground Exhibition Closing Event – 11 Feb, 6-7.30pm
Waste Not Want Not
The Sidney Cooper Gallery, Canterbury
Saturday 11 February, 6-7.30pm
You are warmly invited to the closing event of Fairground – Waste Not Want Not, at the Sidney Cooper Gallery, Canterbury.
As part of the fairground of art, politics and ideas, this experimental live art intervention explores the communities and ideas that are left at the margins of today's economic exchange. It playfully challenges the representations of class and marginalisation in the contemporary moment, and subverts the nation's desire for the consumption of poverty
Live artist Kelly Green has worked with the young people from Astor College in Dover and Valleys Kids, Wales, in experimentally deconstructing common ideas of class, the (un)deserving poor, and challenging society's ideologies of "waste".
This event is programmed by Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU) and Valleys Kids, Tate Exchange Associates.
About Valleys Kids
Valleys Kids is a Community Development Organisation based in the South Wales Valleys, at its heart it is about changing lives for the better, working with some of the most marginalised communities in Europe. See: http://valleyskids.org/

This article in the Wall Street Journal by Holman Jenkins, about my friend Jon Haidt,is probably the most interesting take on the conservative/liberal political divide I have seen for a long time. Though as happens with articles, it doesn't really do justice to his book 'The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Differ on Politics and Religion' or to the depth of the research that emerged the Moral Foundations he talks about out of the data he collected world wide via his Moral Foundations Website.
Read this article, by a conservative interviewing Jon, with an open mind and it may help you think differently. Heck, when, as seems likely to me, the Democrats lose in the fall, it might be the start of the long postponed re-examination of why they lose.
(Personal Disclaimer: I read Jon's book in manuscript and contributed suggestions to its editing)
Conservative or liberal, our moral instincts are shaped by evolution to strengthen 'us' against 'them'. Jonathan Haidt, in an eye-opening and deceptively ambitious best seller, tells us why. The reason is evolution. Political attitudes are an extension of our moral reasoning; however much we like to tell ourselves otherwise, our moral responses are basically instinctual, despite attempts to gussy them up with ex-post rationalizations.
Our constellation of moral instincts arose because it helped us to cooperate. It helped us, in unprecedented speed and fashion, to dominate our planet. Yet the same moral reaction also means we exist in a state of perpetual, nasty political disagreement, talking past each other, calling each other names.
Zina Saunders
So Mr. Haidt explains in "The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion," undoubtedly one of the most talked-about books of the year. "The Righteous Mind" spent weeks on the hardcover best-seller list. Mr. Haidt considers himself mostly a liberal, but his book has been especially popular in the conservative blogosphere. Some right-leaning intellectuals are even calling it the most important book of the year.
It's full of ammunition that conservatives will love to throw out at cocktail parties. His research shows that conservatives are much better at understanding and anticipating liberal attitudes than liberals are at appreciating where conservatives are coming from. Case in point: Conservatives know that liberals are repelled by cruelty to animals, but liberals don't think (or prefer not to believe) that conservatives are repelled too.
Mr. Haidt, until recently a professor of moral psychology at the University of Virginia, says the surveys conducted by his research team show that liberals are strong on evolved values he defines as caring and fairness. Conservatives value caring and fairness too but tend to emphasize the more tribal values like loyalty, authority and sanctity.
Conservatives, Mr. Haidt says, have been more successful politically because they play to the full spectrum of sensibilities, and because the full spectrum is necessary for a healthy society. An admiring review in the New York Times sums up this element of his argument: "Liberals dissolve moral capital too recklessly. Welfare programs that substitute public aid for spousal and parental support undermine the ecology of the family. Education policies that let students sue teachers erode classroom authority. Multicultural education weakens the cultural glue of assimilation."
Such a book is bound to run into the charge of scientism—claiming scientific authority for a mix of common sense, exhortation or the author's own preferences. Let it be said that Mr. Haidt is sensitive to this complaint. If he erred, he says, it was on the side of being accessible, readable and, he hopes, influential.
As we sit in his new office at New York University, he professes an immodest aim: He wants liberals and conservatives to listen to each other more, hate each other less, and to understand that their differences are largely rooted in psychology, not open-minded consideration of the facts. "My big issue, the one I'm somewhat evangelical about, is civil disagreement," he says.
A shorthand he uses is "follow the sacred"—and not in a good way. "Follow the sacred and there you will find a circle of motivated ignorance." Today's political parties are most hysterical, he says, on the issues they "sacralize." For the right, it's taxes. For the left, the sacred issues were race and gender but are becoming global warming and gay marriage.
Yet between the lines of his book is an even more dramatic claim: The same moral psychology that makes our politics so nasty also underlies the amazing triumph of the human species. "We shouldn't be here at all," he tells me. "When I think about life on earth, there should not be a species like us. And if there was, we should be out in the jungle killing each other in small groups. That's what you should expect. The fact that we're here [in politics] arguing viciously and nastily with each other, and no guns, that itself is a miracle. And I think we can make [our politics] a little better. That's my favorite theme."
Who is Jon Haidt? A nice Jewish boy from central casting, he grew up in Scarsdale, N.Y. His father was a corporate lawyer. "When the economy opened out in the '50s and '60s and Jews could go everywhere, he was part of that generation. He and all his buddies from Brooklyn did very well."
His family was liberal in the FDR tradition. At Yale he studied philosophy and, in standard liberal fashion, "emerged pretty convinced that I was right about everything." It took a while for him to discover the limits of that stance. "I wouldn't say I was mugged by reality. I would say I was gradually introduced to it academically," he says today.
In India, where he performed field studies early in his professional career, he encountered a society in some ways patriarchal, sexist and illiberal. Yet it worked and the people were lovely. In Brazil, he paid attention to the experiences of street children and discovered the "most dangerous person in the world is mom's boyfriend. When women have a succession of men coming through, their daughters will get raped," he says. "The right is right to be sounding the alarm about the decline of marriage, and the left is wrong to say, 'Oh, any kind of family is OK.' It's not OK."
At age 41, he decided to try to understand what conservatives think. The quest was part of his effort to apply his understanding of moral psychology to politics. He especially sings the praises of Thomas Sowell's "Conflict of Visions," which he calls "an incredible book, a brilliant portrayal" of the argument between conservatives and liberals about the nature of man. "Again, as a moral psychologist, I had to say the constrained vision [of human nature] is correct."
That is, our moral instincts are tribal, adaptive, intuitive and shaped by evolution to strengthen "us" against "them." He notes that, in the 1970s, the left tended to be categorically hostile to evolutionary explanations of human behavior. Yet Mr. Haidt, the liberal and self-professed atheist, says he now finds the conservative vision speaks more insightfully to our evolved nature in ways that it would be self-defeating to discount.
"This is what I'm trying to argue for, and this is what I feel I've discovered from reading a lot of the sociology," he continues. "You need loyalty, authority and sanctity"—values that liberals are often suspicious of—"to run a decent society."
Mr. Haidt, a less chunky, lower-T version of Adam Sandler, has just landed a new position at the Stern School of Business at NYU. He arrived with his two children and wife, Jane, after a successful and happy 16-year run at the University of Virginia. An introvert by his own account, and never happier than when laboring in solitude, he nevertheless sought out the world's media capital to give wider currency to the ideas in the "The Righteous Mind."
Mr. Haidt's book, as he's the first to notice, has given comfort to conservatives. Its aim is to help liberals. Though he calls himself a centrist, he remains a strongly committed Democrat. He voted for one Republican in his life—in 2000 crossing party lines to cast a ballot for John McCain in the Virginia primary. "I wasn't trying to mess with the Republican primary," he adds. "I really liked McCain."
His disappointment with President Obama is quietly evident. Ronald Reagan understood that "politics is more like religion than like shopping," he says. Democrats, after a long string of candidates who flogged policy initiatives like items in a Wal-Mart circular, finally found one who could speak to higher values than self-interest. "Obama surely had a chance to remake the Democratic Party. But once he got in office, I think, he was consumed with the difficulty of governing within the Beltway."
The president has reverted to the formula of his party—bound up in what Mr. Haidt considers obsolete interest groups, battles and "sacred" issues about which Democrats cultivate an immunity to compromise.
Mr. Haidt lately has been speaking to Democratic groups and urging attachment to a new moral vision, albeit one borrowed from the Andrew Jackson campaign of 1828: "Equal opportunity for all, special privileges for none."
Racial quotas and reflexive support for public-sector unions would be out. His is a reformed vision of a class-based politics of affirmative opportunity for the economically disadvantaged. "I spoke to some Democrats about things in the book and they asked, how can we weaponize this? My message to them was: You're not ready. You don't know what you stand for yet. You don't have a clear moral vision."
Like many historians of modern conservatism, he cites the 1971 Powell Memo—written by the future Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell Jr.—which rallied Republicans to the defense of free enterprise and limited government. Democrats need their own version of the Powell Memo today to give the party a new and coherent moral vision of activist government in the good society. "The moral rot a [traditional] liberal welfare state creates over generations—I mean, the right is right about that," says Mr. Haidt, "and the left can't see it."
Yet one challenge becomes apparent in talking to Mr. Haidt: He's read his book and cheerfully acknowledges that he avoids criticizing too plainly the "sacralized" issues of his liberal friends.
In his book, for instance, is passing reference to Western Europe's creation of the world's "first atheistic societies," also "the least efficient societies ever known at turning resources (of which they have a lot) into offspring (of which they have very few)."
What does he actually mean? He means Islam: "Demographic curves are very hard to bend," he says. "Unless something changes in Europe in the next century, it will eventually be a Muslim continent. Let me say it diplomatically: Most religions are tribal to some degree. Islam, in its holy books, seems more so. Christianity has undergone a reformation and gotten some distance from its holy books to allow many different lives to flourish in Christian societies, and this has not happened in Islam."
Mr. Haidt is similarly tentative in spelling out his thoughts on global warming. The threat is real, he suspects, and perhaps serious. "But the left is now embracing this as their sacred issue, which guarantees that there will be frequent exaggerations and minor—I don't want to call it fudging of data—but there will be frequent mini-scandals. Because it's a moral crusade, the left is going to have difficulty thinking clearly about what to do."
Mr. Haidt, I observe, is noticeably less delicate when stepping on the right's toes. He reviles George W. Bush, whom he blames for running up America's debt and running down its reputation. He blames Newt Gingrich for perhaps understanding his book's arguments too well and importing an uncompromising moralistic language into the partisan politics of the 1990s.
Mr. Haidt also considers today's Republican Party a curse upon the land, even as he admires conservative ideas. He says its defense of lower taxes on capital income—mostly reported by the rich—is indefensible. He dismisses Mitt Romney as a "moral menial," a politician so cynical about the necessary cynicism of politics that he doesn't bother to hide his cynicism. (Some might call that a virtue.) He finds it all too typical that Republicans abandoned their support of the individual health-care mandate the moment Mr. Obama picked it up (though he also finds Chief Justice John Roberts's bend-over-backwards effort to preserve conservative constitutional principle while upholding ObamaCare "refreshing").
Why is his language so much less hedged when discussing Republicans? "Liberals are my friends, my colleagues, my social world," he concedes. Liberals also are the audience he hopes most to influence, helping Democrats to recalibrate their political appeal and their attachment to a faulty welfare state.
To which a visitor can only say, God speed. Even with his parsing out of deep psychological differences between conservatives and liberals, American politics still seem capable of a useful fluidity. To make progress we need both parties, and right now we could use some progress on taxes, incentives, growth and entitlement reform.

ST. IGNATIUS – Young poets gathered at Mission Elementary School on Friday to share their creative lines.
The poetry reading was the finale after a nine-week workshop with writer-in-residence Rachel Mindell. The Missoula Writing Collaborative and Indian Education Council brought Mindell to the school to help fourth and fifth grade students develop their poetic skills.
Caramia Never Miss A Shot, third grader, learned to appreciate poetry during the workshops. She shared her thoughts before the reading.
"I learned to like poetry by listening to Miss Mindell," she said. "She taught us that you don't have to write about your feelings. You can write about what you like or important things like family and your life."
Dimitry Glessner, fourth grade, wrote about a broken leg.
"You can write about many, many different things," he said.
The students took turns reading their best poems to a packed house in the multi-purpose room. Before the students got started, Caroline Patterson, MWC Executive Director, welcomed students and audience to the event.
Poet Heather Cahoon read from her collection "Horsefly Dress." She also helped students with their poems during a workshop. She is a graduate of Mission High School and has several awards including the 2015 Montana Arts Council Artist Innovation Award, the 2000 Richard Hugo Memorial Scholarship, and the 2005 Merriam-Frontier Award.
Aspen Smith translated student Ameah Hunt's poem about nature and water from English to Salish, giving the students the opportunity to hear poetry in another language.
Mindell thanked the school for allowing her to teach the kids and the Indian Education Council for supporting the project. She also thanked teachers Tim Krantz, Pam Rodeghiero, Chris Eichert, and Lloyd Phillips.
Mission Elementary School is one of five schools on the Flathead Reservation receiving support from the National Endowment for the Arts grant to help bring a writer-in-residence into the school. Mission, Arlee, Dixon, Ronan, and Pablo divided the $30,000 NEA Art Works Grant awarded to the Missoula Writing Collaborative on Aug. 17, 2015.
The NEA Art Works program began in 2014 and placed four Missoula Writing Collaborative writers in schools across the reservation including Alex Alviar, Emily Freeman, Caroline Keys, and Rachel Mindell to teach literary competence, critical thinking, cultural awareness, and artistic joy.

It used to work perfectly until a few days a go, so I don't know if something has changed and this is a bug or if the problem is in my mobile. Anyone experiencing the same?

WATCH: Beer pours into street after tank burst at brewery
A "river of beer" flowed through Manchester this week, as JW Lees' Greengate Brewery sprang a leak.
According to The Drink Business, the incident was caused by malfunctioning keg at the brewery, which overflowed and send torrents of wort - the sugary liquid extracted from the mashing process during the brewing of beer – spilling from the sky.
A spokesman for J.W. Lees said it was not a major incident and that no one was hurt and added that many of the brewery's employees were not even aware the incident happened, reported the website.
In the video the waterfall of beer can be seen that it began at one of the highest points of the building, capturing complete attention for motorists and pedestrians alike. What also looks like smoke can also be seen rising into the air but understood to be steam.
Passersby are also seen stopping and astonished by the beer waterfall.
