Book excerpt: At age ten, Peter Mutabazi ran away from home. For five years he survived on the streets of Kampala, Uganda, a city of 1.5 million, until one man saw potential in him. This man not only supported Peter through school but also altered Peter's outlook in every possible way. Since then, Peter has served as a relief coordinator during the Rwandan genocide, worked for the International Committee of the Red Cross during the Sudan conflict, emigrated to the United States, fostered countless children, and become a single adoptive parent. He speaks seven languages and has traveled to more than one hundred countries as an international advocate for vulnerable children. Now I Am Known is Peter's inspiring true story. In it he reveals the transformational power of taking risks, learning to forgive, overcoming self-doubt, breaking negative patterns, and believing in a better future marked by hope and purpose. *** "God met Peter Mutabazi in the midst of his agony, and he will meet you in yours too."--Kyle Idleman, bestselling author of Not a Fan and One at a Time "Peter's astounding and unlikely true story proves that if you remain committed and give it your all, great things will happen."--Sanya Richards-Ross, Olympic gold medalist and founder of MommiNation "A must-read for anyone wondering whether they can actually make a difference in this world."--Kelly Slater, American pro surfer and world champion "One of the most redemptive stories you'll ever read."--Jedd Medefind, president of Christian Alliance for Orphans

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In arbitration, procedure is crucial to ensure acceptance of the process. This book is about the importance of getting the procedure right. It begins with the first-ever request to be an arbitrator and takes the reader through all the stages of an arbitration. It points out some of the pitfalls and contains useful checklists. It gives advice on how to deal with conflicts, conduct hearings, deal with document requests, deal with experts, deal with challenges, agree on fees, draft procedural orders and awards, and how not to take on too much. Written by two experienced and highly respected international arbitrators, the book provides immeasurably valuable guidance on such details of the arbitral process as the following: terms of appointment; appointment of a tribunal secretary; steps to be taken before Procedural Order No. 1; written submissions; witnesses; third-party funding and contingency issues; keeping track of the money; interim measures; and expedited proceedings and early determination. Links to important documents are provided, and nineteen appendices include model forms for documents, agendas, orders, declarations, schedules, and protocols. Providing a veritable treasure trove of invaluable suggestions and hints which would only normally be known to arbitrators of many years’ standing, this eminently practical book will greatly enhance the ability of both new and experienced arbitrators to nip problems in the bud. It will also be of interest to counsel who appear in arbitrations and who may benefit from seeing things from the tribunal’s point of view. As this book will evolve into a ‘living’ book on the Kluwer website, the authors will continue to keep pace with developments in the field of international arbitration.

Download or read book Now Do You Know Where You Are written by Dana Levin and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2022-07-05 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Levin’s luminous latest reckons with the disorientation of contemporary America. . . . Through the fog of doubt, Levin summons ferocious intellect and musters hard-won clairvoyance.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review Dana Levin’s fifth collection is a brave and perceptive companion, walking with the reader through the disorientations of personal and collective transformation. Now Do You Know Where You Are investigates how great change calls the soul out of the old lyric, “to be a messenger―to record whatever wanted to stream through.” Levin works in a variety of forms, calling on beloveds and ancestors, great thinkers and religions―convened by Levin’s own spun-of-light wisdom and intellectual hospitality―balancing clear-eyed forensics of the past with vatic knowledge of the future. “So many bodies a soul has to press through: personal, familial, regional, national, global, planetary, cosmic― // ‘Now do you know where you are?’” “Dana Levin is the modern-day master of the em-dash.”—New York Times Magazine "The book weaves in and out of prose, and it’s no wonder that the haibun is the generative form in these pages. A form invented by Basho so that he could move from the prose of his travelogues to the quick intensities of haiku, back and forth. Emily Dickinson does the same thing in her letters. And because this is a poet of the western United States—born outside of Los Angeles and raised in the Mojave, then two decades in Santa Fe, now in middle America, St. Louis—maybe it’s right to think of her work in terms of storm clouds: if the prose is an anvil cloud, the flash of poetry at the end is lightning.”—Jesse Nathan, McSweeney’s
