Download or read book Enlivening the Chakra of the Heart written by Florin Lowndes and published by Rudolf Steiner Press. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seer and teacher Rudolf Steiner advised that specific 'accompanying' or 'fundamental' spiritual exercises should always be carried out in conjunction with meditation. While meditation is the foundation of any spiritual path of development, it can pose dangers to normal consciousness. These exercises offer a protection, by helping to develop inner certainty and strength. This is achieved, for example, through the first exercise by concentrating and intensifying the powers of thinking, through the second by developing the control of the will, through the third by mastering the outer expressions of the life of feeling, and so on. Florin Lowndes describes the fundamental exercises in thorough detail, giving suggestions as to how they may be carried out. He also relates an important and hidden aspect - that the exercises embody the means for developing and strengthening organic and 'living' thinking, which is intimately related to the enlivening of a new organ of perception: the heart chakra or lotus. Lowndes casts new light on many aspects of this question, and offers encouragement and stimulus to those seeking a modern path of spiritual development. FLORIN LOWNDES was born in Romania in 1938 and had an international career in architectural art and design. In 1970 he emigrated to the United States, where he taught at college level and in Steiner Waldorf schools. Since 1971 he has been engaged in the study of anthroposophy, and has written many articles for journals on related questions. He co-authored The Human Life, and founded the Center of Heart-Thinking in Boston. At present he leads training seminars in the United States and throughout Europe.

Download or read book General average legal basis and applicable law written by Jolien Kruit and published by Paris Legal Publishers Uitgeverij Paris. This book was released on 2017-02-16 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General average is considered to be one of the most uniformly regulated topics of maritime law. This study concludes that this perception is flawed. The invariably applicable York-Antwerp Rules do not provide a full regime, whereas their applicability is generally contractual only. As a result, questions arise as to which law applies to general average obligations, how the applicable national law is to be determined (taking into consideration the impact of the European Rome I and II Regulations), and what is provided in the national regimes. In addition, questions arise as to what the influence is of contractual provisions set out in contracts for the carriage of goods by sea and general average security forms, and how the various sources interact. This study contains an in depth assessment of these questions.

Download or read book The Law of Wreck written by Nicholas Gaskell and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 1024 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers wreck law as an integrated whole, going beyond the question of "removal" to include issues such as the ownership of wreck and how the law deals with the many commercial law problems arising after ships have been wrecked during the maritime commercial adventure. The book offers authoritative guidance on the genesis and meaning of the Nairobi Wreck Removal Convention 2007, and the interpretation of its often-complex provisions as they apply both to States trying to use its powers and to shipowners and liability insurers faced by its obligations. The authors explain the increasingly complex inter-relationship between linked areas of maritime law, including salvage, intervention and the overlapping international regimes which deal with pollution from oil, bunkers or hazardous and noxious substances. The book examines how a salvage operation transitions to wreck removal and links the liability provisions with the standard form international commercial contracts actually used by the industry to remove wrecks, eg BIMCO’s Wreckstage 2010, Wreckhire 2010 and Wreckfixed 2010. It also covers the complex requirements concerning the disposal of wrecks, including the latest recycling regulations applicable in 2019. The Law of Wreck will be of value to shipping industry professionals, insurers and legal practitioners, as well as academics and students of maritime law.

Download or read book Commercial Disputes written by Barış Soyer and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-12-16 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remedies are vital in commercial litigation. Additionally, in commercial law, parties are usually free to choose the forum and law that will govern their disputes. This book aims to shine the spotlight on these issues and look to several new trends and developments emerging on procedural matters relating to dispute resolution. The discussions range freely over national, international, and EU legal dimensions, and the book also comes at an opportune time, with the post-Brexit jurisdiction landscape becoming more definable. This edited volume presents contributions from highly expert and experienced academics and practitioners, collectively examining a broad range of areas relating to the complex and time-consuming issues of resolution and jurisdiction of commercial disputes. The book is divided into three parts: arbitration and ADR, jurisdiction and procedure, and choice of law. Key topics featured include summary procedures in London Maritime Arbitration, reformation of the Arbitration Act, challenges to jurisdiction, stay of proceedings, anti-suit injunctions, the EU-UK judicial space post-Brexit, the application of AI to commercial disputes, and choice of law agreements. Written for lawyers and administrators not only in England and Wales but worldwide - especially Germany, Switzerland, Greece, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and India – the book is also valuable for specialist law libraries in Europe and the US, some specialist maritime law firms in the US, and some university libraries where maritime and shipping law are taught as specialist subjects.

Download or read book Foreign Currency written by Michael Howard and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currency fluctuation, currency wars and even potential currency collapse (the Euro, the Bitcoin) are all risks that commercial parties must consider and guard against. This book gathers together in one volume all the information and advice practitioners are likely to need when advising on, advancing or defending claims involving a foreign currency element. The determination of the proper currency (or currencies) of a claim often has a dramatic effect on the level of a court judgment or arbitration award that is ultimately obtained. It is, therefore, vital for practitioners to accurately assess claims which involve a foreign currency element. The authors guide the reader through the legal principles governing how foreign currency claims are treated in English law. The book covers both the treatment of foreign currency in substantive law as well as such procedural matters as how to claim interest correctly on a foreign currency claim and how to plead, prove or disprove the applicability of a particular currency. This book is an invaluable and essential resource for all lawyers involved in international commerce, but will be of particular interest to those engaged in international finance, commodity transactions, international shipping and transport, and the insurance of assets and liabilities abroad. "Those who practise in this country need guidance in navigating the tricky waters that The Despina R unleashed. This excellent book provides that guidance." The authors "have been uniquely well placed to meet the challenge of analysing what is a perplexing body of jurisprudence, and to suggest principled answers to currency issues that have not yet been the subject of judicial decision. They consider not merely claims in contract and tort, but every type of claim that might raise an issue in relation to a foreign currency." The Rt Hon. The Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers, KG, PC, President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, 2009-2012
