Gary Born, Howard Rosen, Mrinal JainSecretariatSecretariat welcomes SIAC President Gary Born to discuss trends in Investment Treaty Arbitration as part of webinar series launching the firm’s Economic Damages and Valuation Practice in India with Mrinal Jain. Secretariat Managing Director Howard Rosen joins Gary in the discussion.The webinar is available for viewing on-demand https://vimeo.com/568576255 Gary says, “India is developing rapidly, both in terms of an international arbitration destination and in terms of economic prowess and prosperity. It has been an era in which Singapore has played an increasingly important part in resolving disputes related to India. India is often the largest user of SIAC arbitrations. Indian counsels and law firms are very active in SIAC arbitration and Singapore-seated arbitrations.” Gary adds, “I think the need for expert, even-handed, enforceable dispute resolution is greater today than ever before. And that will continue to be the case. I think Secretariat's offering of an India-related practice is very timely”. Howard notes, “When we look back 10 or 20 years, the way tribunals typically dealt with discounted cash flows was based on a rule of thumb. If there wasn't a business that employed DCF or had a history of cash flows profitably for at least…

Brandon Jordan tells KSAT that Texas is only state he’d consider moving toYouTube diver Brandon Jordan found lost treasures while diving in the Comal and San Marcos Rivers while on a recent trip to Texas. (Jiggin' With Jordan)SAN ANTONIO – The New Braunfels tube chute on the Comal River is well known for being a great spot for fun in the sun, but it’s also well known for its sunken treasures. Tubers have sunglasses, water bottles, phones and other possessions when slipping, sliding and inevitably flipping over in the river.That’s why treasure diver Brandon Jordan picked the spot to feature on his popular “Jiggin’ With Jordan” YouTube channel. And it didn’t disappoint. He dredged up quite a few items — some just minutes after tubers lost them, reuniting several people with things like water bottles and sunglasses.But the discovery that Jordan was most excited about, probably brought the most dread for the person who lost it. He found what appears to be a man’s diamond-encrusted wedding band that had settled into some rocks below the torrents.“I was holding onto a rock for my life and I just happened to see it glimmering down there. I couldn’t tell it was a…

Photo by Farhan Monir Hussain/EyeEmIf I’m being honest with myself, I realised that I was queer when I was very young. Or I realised that I like girls when I was very young. The first utterance of “I’m bisexual” came at 17, drunk on cider in a dodgy pub in rural Hertfordshire, but it was a watershed moment nonetheless. Seventeen is supposed to be the time for a person’s archetypal coming-of-age moments. Judaism celebrates the coming of age through a bar or bat mitzvah, South American culture through the quinceañera and Catholicism through the confirmation. For a non-religious person like me, however, these moments included first dates, first kisses and first sexual encounters.Significant though it is, the coming-of-age trope is heavily romanticised. One simple definition labels it “the age or occasion when one formally becomes an adult” but when I was a teenager, it felt much more significant. I grew up during the heyday of Tumblr: GIFs of Emma Watson in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, riding in the back of a pick-up truck with her arms to the sky, dominated my timeline. I spent years chasing that teenage euphoria, wishing I could come into my own as everyone else…

Details of 700 million LinkedIn Users were hacked and put for online sale. Two months before, LinkedIn suffered a government inquiry after the data of 500 million users were sourced and posted online. Now it’s occurred again. This time as large as 700 million users were affected. RaidForums users have put the data of 700 million people for sale late last week. It was found by the news site PrivacySharks, which communicated LinkedIn after examining a million record examples offered by the seller. So where did this entire data come from? Was it collected during the violation? Did someone find a misconfigured database and retain all 700 million records public for someone who unexpectedly discovered and downloaded the database? LinkedIn circulated an official statement in which it was reported that this data breach is not the corporation’s offense, and an internal study denoted that no private LinkedIn user data was hacked or shared. Data from approximately 500 million LinkedIn users was shared in a similar way in April. LinkedIn claimed that all the data was public and possibly the effect of scouring the data and editing the information from different websites. Regardless of how the data was transferred to the…

The perils of misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines have been well-documented, but that doesn’t mean that fake news has stopped spreading. For his part, Ron Klain, who operates as the White House chief of staff, thinks Facebook needs to step their game up when it comes to halting the spread of misinformation on their platform. Speaking with Kara Swisher for a Thursday (July 1) episode of The New York Times’ Sway podcast, Klain points to social media as a set of platforms that need to improve the way they deal with misleading posts about the vaccines. “Look, I think the platforms need to do better. I think particularly Facebook needs to do better,” Klain says. “And I need to give them some credit in the sense that there’s a lot of accurate information on Facebook. I think Facebook itself has built a number of tools to help people find vaccines and so on and so forth. But I’ve told Mark Zuckerberg directly that when we gather groups of people who are not vaccinated and we ask them,  » Read More

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JUNE 23: Aroldis Chapman #54 of the New York Yankees adjusts his hat during the ninth inning against the Kansas City Royals at Yankee Stadium on June 23, 2021 in the Bronx borough of New York City. (Photo by Tim Nwachukwu/Getty Images) The New York Yankees offense finally showed up the past two nights. But have you been watching this team in 2021? Something else was bound to make it all come crashing down.Tuesday night went fairly swimmingly. A convincing 11-5 win that was made possible because of relentless offense as well as the Los Angeles Angels shooting themselves in the foot.Wednesday started off great! The Yankees knocked Shohei Ohtani out of the first inning and tagged him for seven earned runs before he could record three outs. The Yankees led 7-2 after that point. Seems like a relatively easy win, right?Think again!Domingo German was bad and failed to go past three innings. The offense bungled a multitude of opportunities to further put their knee on the Angels’ neck. And there were two rain delays! You know that’s NEVER a recipe for a coast-to-coast win, especially with the Yankees.But it sure felt like it for…
