Comments Off on Schoolboy Kangaroos not up to scratch
North Melbourne coach Brad Scott says his players need to graduate from their schoolboy errors before they can call themselves a good side.
The Kangaroos were given a lesson in the art of skill and pressure in Saturday's 73-point loss to premiership favourites Fremantle in Perth.
The result leaves North Melbourne precariously placed at 4-4 heading into tough games against Collingwood, West Coast, Sydney, and GWS.
North Melbourne reached a preliminary final last year, and were expected to challenge for the premiership this season.
But Scott says his side are way off the mark at the moment.
"We just got killed in terms of errors," Scott said.
"Good sides don't give up. I think we conceded 13 goals from turnovers – really soft goals – and good sides don't do that.
"We're not in the good side category yet because we are not defending well enough and producing consistently enough.
"Just some schoolboy stuff at times."
Scott said the absence of prime movers Daniel Wells (Achilles tendon), Nick Dal Santo (hamstring), and Andrew Swallow (thumb) couldn't be used as an excuse for their poor display.
"I thought the effort for the most part was ok, but we left too much to too few," Scott said.
"We've got some guys that need to stand up and start playing an AFL brand of footy."
Forward Jarrad Waite is in some doubt for Sunday's clash with Collingwood at the MCG after hurting his foot early against the Dockers.
Waite was able to play out the match after receiving treatment, with Scott revealing the injury was a flare-up of a past complaint.
Fremantle (8-0) remain two wins clear on top of the table following their best ever start to an AFL season.
Nat Fyfe (37 disposals, 11 clearances) boosted his Brownlow medal chances with another best-on-ground display, while Michael Walters (four goals) produced his finest game of the season.
Skipper Matthew Pavlich was subbed off early in the last quarter as a precaution, but coach Ross Lyon expects the 33-year-old to play in Saturday night's clash with the Crows in Adelaide.
"He came in with a slightly tight abductor, and it was a greasy night," Lyon said.
"We were in the position to choose between Aaron Sandilands, Matthew Pavlich, David Mundy, Michael Johnson and Luke McPharlin (as the sub).
"Pavlich was the one tonight."
Fremantle have been able to keep the majority of their best 22 out on the park this season.
Lyon knows injuries will come at some point, and he's urging his charges to make the most of their good run while the sun is shining.
"It's a long hard year, it's a marathon," Lyon said.
"We're a third of the way through. Anything can happen from here."
Comments Off on Abbott focuses on passing budget
Small business and Australian jihadis will be on the federal government's mind as parliament returns for a fortnight-long sitting.
The opposition intends to highlight the "sneaky cuts" hidden in the federal budget.
Labor will pursue this theme both in the lower house where budget bills are up for debate and during estimates hearings when senators get the chance to quiz ministers and senior government officials.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott indicated on Sunday the government will put new counter-terrorism laws to parliament this week.
It's anticipated these will give the government the power to strip dual nationals of their Australian citizenship if they join terrorist organisations.
The government is also understood to be considering ways to restrict the rights of foreign fighters who only hold Australian citizenship.
But Mr Abbott said it wasn't his priority to get these new laws passed straight away.
"The priority this week is getting the budget bills through … unleashing the latent creativity of the small businesses of Australia," he told reporters in Brisbane.
The key measure he wants Labor's immediate support on is a $20,000 instant asset write-off for small business.
Immigration and national security issues will also come under scrutiny at legal and constitutional affairs committee hearings over the week.
Agriculture department officials are likely to face questions about their handling of the saga involving Hollywood star Johnny Depp's dogs.
Labor and the Greens will also ask how Barnaby Joyce's department is handling concerns about Australian cattle being mistreated in Vietnam.
Clive Palmer will introduce a private member's bill to the lower house aimed at preventing the disclosure by police or other agencies of information that could lead to the death penalty being imposed on Australians overseas.
On Wednesday, the parliament will receive a visit from New Zealand Governor-General Sir Jerry Mateparae.
Comments Off on Force must learn to covert chances: Foley
If they can get past their propensity to throw games away the Western Force might be able to upset the apple cart for other Australian Super Rugby franchises in the run to the playoffs.
Having again thrown away chances, this time against the Highlanders, the Force will take on the struggling Reds, the Brumbies and the Melbourne Rebels in the final rounds of the regular season.
After all, the Force have been able to defeat the Waratahs twice and were competitive in their previous losses to other Australian sides, positive thinking decrees wins could be just around the corner.
In losing to the Highlanders 23-3, the Force allowed the NZ team to climb above the Brumbies on the ladder, but coach Michael Foley was optimistic they learned a valuable lesson about what they need to do to convert their opportunities.
"It's not a new lesson but I think when we bring that great enthusiasm and aggression to our defence and create chances, you have to make the most of them," Foley said.
"Against really good sides you're not going to get a hell of a lot of chances and we saw that against the Waratahs as well when we only got a couple of chances. Against the Waratahs, we finished them off and this week we didn't quite do that.
"I thought there was enough there for us to potentially win that game if we take those chances early, but the couple of tries that we were probably a pass away from making we missed."
Now the Highlanders can move to second in the New Zealand conference and box seat for a finals appearance by beating the currently second placed Chiefs this Saturday in Invercargill.
Coach Jamie Joseph was proud of his team's efforts to beat the Force and is looking forward to getting home after three weeks in South Africa and one in Perth before preparing for the Chiefs.
"I take my hat off to the Force because they had to work really hard and they made us earn it, but our boys had a lot of incentive with our captain (Ben Smith) playing 100 games and one of their best mates (John Hardie) playing 50," Joseph said.
"We've got three matches to go and for us if we beat the Chiefs and get up against those guys we will slip ahead of them. That really boils down to being a massive match in Invercargill and we are really looking forward to that."
Comments Off on Stosur emerges as French Open challenger
A year after almost quitting tennis in despair, a revitalised and resurgent Samantha Stosur has emerged from the darkness to be a French Open challenger once more.
Stosur is spearheading Australia's 12-strong singles assault in Paris as the country's top-ranked player for the sixth straight year.
But unlike last year when the fallen former grand slam champion arrived at Roland Garros fighting mental demons and a desperate urge to give the game away, Stosur "couldn't be happier" entering the claycourt major.
A reunion with former long-time coach David Taylor last month has yielded instant success.
In her first match in 20 months back under Taylor's wing, the 2010 French Open runner-up returned from a calf injury to snap the 11-match, two-title claycourt winning streak of German Angelique Kerber in Madrid.
Stosur was back in the game again and, a month on, the one-time US Open champion and world No.4 crowned her comeback on Saturday (Sunday AEST) with a first WTA title since last October.
"I couldn't be happier," Stosur told AAP following her Strasbourg International triumph.
"I'm doing all the things I want to be doing heading into a grand slam."
Stosur's positive mindset is a far cry from when she questioned her future in the sport following a demoralising first-round loss to Swiss qualifier Timea Bacsinszky at last year's Portugal Open.
Tired of blowing one-set leads and throwing matches away, the usually upbeat Queenslander had, had enough.
"In Portugal last year, it (retirement) was front and centre," Stosur said ahead of her first-round French Open clash with American Madison Brengle.
"I wasn't in a good place and I wasn't enjoying my tennis at all. All the way up to the French Open I struggled.
"There was still a long way to go before making that decision, but it wasn't fun being on court for a long time."
It's fun now, though, and Stosur credits Taylor with freshening up her game and restoring the optimism.
After unsuccessful stints with Andy Murray's former coach Miles Maclagan and Nick Kyrgios's ex-mentor Simon Rea, Stosur turned again to Taylor, just as she did after battling career-threatening Lyme disease in 2007.
During a six-year partnership, Taylor was in Stosur's corner not only for her charge to the 2010 final in Paris and her stunning victory over Serena Williams in the 2011 US Open final, but also for runs to the last four in Paris in 2009 and 2012.
"It's only been four or five weeks but it was a pretty easy transition. Dave knows my game and what to expect and it's kind of like it never stopped," Stosur said.
Reuniting with Taylor wasn't all straightforward.
He has two young daughters and has also been busy coaching Croatian-born Australian Ajla Tomljanovic since the end of 2013.
But after convincing him, Stosur and Tomljanovic joined Taylor at his Liechtenstein base after Australia's Fed Cup tie last month in the Netherlands.
"I had to make sure Ajla was okay with it and thankfully she was," Stosur said two days after edging Tomljanovic in a three-set quarter-final in Strasbourg.
"Obviously there's less time and if you're both on court at the same time, it can be difficult.
"Even for our match (last Thursday), he sat in the players' lounge and watched it on TV.
"Yeah, it's unique. But so far it's working."
Stosur, Tomljanovic and fellow Australians in the bottom quarter of the women's draw – Casey Dellacqua, Daria Gavrilova and Jarmila Gajdosova – all launch their Open campaigns on Monday.
Comments Off on Indonesia begins search for migrant boats
Indonesia has begun search and rescue operations for stranded migrant boats carrying Bangladeshis and ethnic Rohingya from Myanmar, after it dropped a hardline policy of refusing them sanctuary.
Jakarta sparked international outrage by turning away vessels filled with desperate migrants, among thousands stranded at sea since a Thai crackdown on human-trafficking in early May threw the illicit trade into chaos.
Along with neighbouring Malaysia, the government changed approach on Wednesday with an announcement that they would take in boat people provided they could be resettled or repatriated within a year.
While Indonesian fisherman have helped hundreds of stranded Rohingya and Bangladeshis to shore, so far there has been no official rescue effort from Jakarta.
But four naval ships, two pontoons and a patrol aircraft have now been deployed in a search which started Friday evening, Indonesian military spokesman Fuad Basya told AFP.
"We have officially received an order from President (Joko Widodo) to carry out search and rescue operations, whether in the Indonesian territory or international waters," he said.
"We will save the migrants and take them to shore," he said, adding that as of Saturday evening, no new boats had been sighted.
The Malaysian government announced on Thursday that its navy and coastguard would be mobilised for search operations but so far it has not reported any rescues either.
More than 3,500 migrants have swum to shore or been rescued off the coasts of Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Bangladesh since the crisis erupted earlier this month.
Boatloads of starving Rohingya and Bangladeshis have been abandoned by smuggling syndicates and left to fend for themselves.

Favorable Reviews of Backlot Cars
At this point, you may be wondering what Backlot Cars reviews have to say about the company's success in achieving its vision. Via the company's website, you'll find glowing testimonies from a handful of dealers.
One of these customers, Eric Baysinger at Fountain City Motors, notes that Backlot Cars allows him to buy vehicles in areas where he previously had no access. As a result, this dealer reports getting saved significant legwork.
Cody Reich of Metro Motors KC reports that Backlot Cars makes purchasing a cinch. He also appreciates the wide variety of cars available through the website. He notes the website's utility, particularly for dealership owners and managers who must wear more than a dozen different hats each day.
Mo Rasoli of Merriam Auto Sales has found that Backlot Cars' vehicle inspections offer more information than he received when attending live auctions. He also says the customer experience proved fantastic.
Complaints Filed Through the BBB
The Better Business Bureau (BBB) ranks Backlot Cars 77 out of 100 or a C+. The company is not BBB accredited, and it has had 12 total complaints over the last 12 months.
Backlot Cars has addressed each of these complaints, generally with favorable results. Most complaints have involved miscommunications regarding the condition of specific vehicles.
Resolutions based on these complaints demonstrate the company's continued commitment to providing the best service possible. That said, the complaints attest to some of the inherent issues with purchasing cars sight unseen.
Backlot Cars continues to make strides when it comes to vehicle inspections and the information it provides. Nevertheless, the platform will need to continue upping its game to compete with other online auction sites.
Backlot Cars' Online Car Auction Process
What must you do to get started with Backlot Cars? Becoming a member of the platform is straightforward and convenient. You'll need to complete just four steps before you can start taking advantage of great deals.
These steps include:
Getting registered
Browsing and bidding
Transporting the vehicle
Let's take a closer look at each of these four steps and what you'll need to do before you can start bidding and selling automobiles.
Before anything else, you must register through Backlot Cars. Fortunately, the process proves simple. Head to the website and click on the "sign up" option to submit your personal information and credentials. Then, sit back and wait for your application to get approved.
The sign-up process is free, and you'll enjoy low fees on purchases. These fees range from $100 to $400, depending on the type of vehicle you buy and its final cost.
After you've registered via the platform and received an acceptance email, begin browsing the wide selection of cars for sale. Companies and dealers from across the nation place vehicles for sale. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the wide selection of merchandise.
What if you don't find what you're looking for? Rely on the search feature and its various filters to dig deeper. That way, you'll always locate the car your lot needs.
And when you find a suitable car? Bid on it as you would at a live auction. If you win the bidding war, purchase the vehicle.
After you've bid on and won a car, fill out the payment information via Backlot Car's secure checkout page. Voilà! You've completed the process.
From start to finish, the browsing, bidding, and buying process will take a few minutes. From there, you'll need to set up auto-shipping for your new inventory.
After you've bought a car, you must transport it safely to your dealership's location. While it's tempting to opt into Backlot Cars' transportation services, keep a few things in mind. For starters, Backlot Cars likely won't provide you with the best, most competitive deals.
They don't offer any discounts on multiple car shipping because they assume customers will choose them for convenience's sake alone. But this could leave your car dealership spending more money than needed.
What's more, you won't know which car shipping company you're dealing with. For most dealers, this lack of transparency won't do when it comes to expensive propositions like auto shipping.
What's your alternative? Work with a third-party car transport company. This approach will ensure you're dealing directly with your company of choice. You'll also have the chance to find a company that provides discounts on multiple car shipping.
Finding a Great Car Transport Company
What should you look for in an excellent car moving company? Don't settle for anything less than a reliable brand with years of experience in the market. This company should check out through the BBB, and it should offer insurance on all of the inventory shipped.
You should also vet the company through the United States Department of Transportation. Do this by asking for its USDOT number and looking it up online. You'll gain instant access to the company's safety records.
And don't forget to hop online to explore customer reviews via Google and Yelp. Look for reviews regarding vehicles similar to those you wish to ship. It's amazing the insights you can gain through a simple survey of what other customers have to say.
Online Car Auction Success With Backlot Cars
Backlot Cars is an online car auction company with an impressive history of success and much potential for future expansion. It boasts excellent reviews from a variety of customers, although its BBB rating could use some work.
The weakest link in the company's services relates to the car shipping it provides. Because the company doesn't disclose which shipper you'll work with, there's an overall lack of transparency that many dealers find off-putting. And don't expect deals on multiple car shipping with Backlot Cars.
Fortunately, you can easily avoid these issues by working with a third-party car shipping company such as Nexus Auto Transport. Get a free, no-obligation shipping quote now.

While attractively embroidered clothing and other objects have intrinsic and personal value to many, and embroidered sports uniforms are a major application of custom embroidery today - businesses also have much to gain by ordering custom embroidered work uniforms, promotional items, and more.
When everyone on a sports team wears the same uniform, that's a visible symbol of team unity and a tool to actually promote unity. It works the same way when you outfit your workers with custom-embroidered polos, hats, coats, ties, cloth badges, or other apparel.
The mere fact that management and all other employees alike are donning the same uniforms, with the same colors, materials, and embroidered logos and company name goes a long way toward creating that "team spirit" that, in turn, engenders a happier, more productive workforce.
Employees wearing standardized uniforms are quickly and easily recognized by customers seeking assistance. It also helps provide a sense of security for customers that are visited by employees on job sites or in their homes since recognizable logos help them to know that they're legitimate.
That's an extra contribution to building up good relations, and seeing staff are always on hand and marked by custom embroidered uniforms to identify them can make customers feel more comfortable and make them more likely to return.
Modern machine and computer assisted embroidery techniques yield highly professional looking results. Custom embroidery is exceptional at highlighting a logo or marketing message on clothing and other products and this quality level does not easily wear, tear, fade, stain, or shrink.
The specialty threads used in custom embroidery today can create image styles, shading, 3D images, complex stitching patterns that wear hard, and highly visible contrasts that can be seen clearly all the way across a room. This professional look of custom embroidered clothing opens up new possibilities in messaging, stands out loud and clear to customers, and lasts for years (thus protecting your investment).
Since you already need to outfit your staff with some sort form of uniform or another, embroidering your company's name, logo, and messaging onto employees' work attire is essentially free advertising.
Your staff become like walking billboards, and as they work hard to create a positive customer experience day in and day out, those advertising messages become associated with good customer service and quality products/services provided first-hand by your company.
So far we've focused on employee uniforms, but giving away high quality, embroidered promotional items to customers is also a very effective use of custom embroidery.
You can embroider hats, wristbands, shopping totes, backpacks, umbrellas, tablecloths, blankets, pillow cases, mittens, and more. Then, give these promotional products to frequent customers, new customers, or to everyone on special holidays or at trade shows.
Creative use of custom embroidered promotional products and employee uniforms can help your business in the areas of marketing, customer relations, and staff unity. To learn more, or to customize an order, contact Sportsanity Custom today in Volusia County & all of Central Florida!

PlayStation VR reportedly outdoing HTC Vive and Oculus Rift
Danial Arshad Khan
After almost two years of wait, between when it was first announced in 2014 under the code name Project Morpheus and now in 2016, the PlayStation VR has finally arrived. Due to PS4's massive global userbase, it has already gained a heads up on its two major competitors, Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. Sony's virtual reality headset works with the PS4 console while the other two require hardcore gaming PC setups.
In July 2016, a couple of months after the Vive's launch, the sales figures reported an install base of about 100,000. The Oculus Rift was said to have sold even fewer units than the Vive although the Oculus CEO Palmer Luckey brushed it off saying that the figures were not accurate. However, a rough estimate seems to indicate that the PSVR has overtaken them both.
While official sales figures haven't been dropped yet, Sony's president and chief executive Jim Ryan hinted at increasing production for the PSVR due to early figures of the pre-order data that indicate a higher estimate as compared to the launches of the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.
This is exciting news for the users of PlayStation VR who see the peripheral going far if the launch is to be a major success.

Additional parklets to be provided in Cork city
Fergus Sommers of Bench Space, Siobhan Keogh Architect, Justine Looney Chair of Douglas Street Business Association and Cork Flower Studio and Erin O'Brien, Cork City Centre Coordinator, to celebrate the first anniversary of the 'People's Parklet' on Douglas Street which was brought to life following a funding application by the Cork Transport and Mobility Forum (CTMF) to Cork City Council's City Centre Placemaking Fund. Picture: Clare Keogh

FOLLOWING the success of other parklets in the city and as part of the 'Reimagining Cork' programme, Cork City Council is looking to provide up to six new parklets in the greater metropolitan area.
The council will soon be seeking applications from prospective 'parklet partners' who will maintain these new amenities.
Parklets convert a few on-street parking spaces into public open space and are a cost-effective way to create more vibrant streets, promote economic vitality, and provide an inviting green space for residents and passers-by to sit, relax, and interact.
Areas eligible and particularly encouraged to apply include all suburbs of Cork city and the RAPID designated areas of the city.
Business owners, institutions, neighbourhood organisations, and other community-based groups are eligible to apply to be a parklet partner.
The first parklet in the city was opened on Douglas Street in the summer of 2019.
Cork City Council has said the new parklets will be similar to the current parklets on Douglas Street and South Mall and will incorporate seating and pollinator planting.
The council will fund and install the new parklets but the parklet partner will be responsible for the day-to-day upkeep of the parklet and planting.
The parklet can be used by customers if it is associated with a business, but it must be available for public use.
Parklets will initially be in place for one year.
After a year, they will be evaluated to consider whether they should be kept in place for another year, replaced with more permanent seating, or moved to a new location.
Those interested in applying to become a parklet partner are asked to complete and submit the parklet partner application, which will be available on www.corkcity.ie by 5pm on Friday June 4, 2021.

Route 19 is the best as it has Arbok and weepinbell (2Atk Evs each), but it's often raining there. Alternatively you can use route 14 which has ekans and bellsprout(1Atk ev each). Or if both r raining at the same time (rarely happens).
The Route depends on the Pokémon's type. If its Grass, head for caves. If its Fire, head for fields with Grass Types and Etc. Though I recommend training EV Pokémon 15 through 40 in Coastal Kalos.

A$AP Rocky Claims Rap Hasn't Been As 'Mature' Since Soulja Boy
Published on: Jun 14, 2022, 3:36 PM PDT
by Michael Saponara
2022 has been a life-changing year for A$AP Rocky. The Mob leader welcomed his first child with Rihanna and he's readying an album set to arrive in the coming months.
Rocky caught up with comic Jerrod Carmichael for an Interview Magazine chat, where he voiced his frustrations with the immaturity of rap thanks to the internet's prominence as he's become a veteran with over a decade spent in the music industry.
"Rap is in its adolescence and it's been stuck here since Soulja Boy," he said. "Before, everybody looked 35 and up. When Lil Wayne and JAY-Z and T.I. and Jeezy and [Rick] Ross was on, rappers looked old. Like, we had Lil Bow Wow and that was it.
"That all changed with the internet and self-releasing. Now, rap is stuck in this braggadocious, adolescent space. It's not as mature."

— DailyRapFacts (@DailyRapFacts) February 1, 2019
In the past, Rocky has credited Soulja Boy for playing a role in his space to exist as an artist in the Hip Hop landscape in the early 2010s.
"If it wasn't for Soulja Boy, A$AP Rocky probably wouldn't be around," Rocky told L.A.'s 92.3 radio station. "He kinda made a formula. He was the first to do it and it work for him and since then I think that kind of became a basis of a standard way to make it."
A$AP Rocky Shares Wishes For His Son, Virgil Abloh Inspiration & Update On 'All Smiles' Album
A$AP Rocky also revealed that he's putting the finishing touches on his as-yet-untitled Testing follow-up. He's locked in a couple of weeks to work exclusively with Tyler, The Creator on the solo LP.
"I've been working with [Tyler, The Creator] a lot, man," he explained. "We blocked out the last two weeks and have been working on a lot of music, but I'm wrapping up this album right now, about to direct a few of these videos.
"And I can tell you, just from doing a couple of music videos, it's so much energy and preparation and curation. And music videos are only three to four minutes long."

The European Arbitration Review 2022
Alexander Vaneev, Maxim Kuzmin and Nikita Sinitsin
BGP Litigation
Following last year's edition, this article provides a brief overview and updates to the Russian arbitration law and recent significant cases. It aims to familiarise the reader with the general framework of the Russian arbitration law as amended in 2015–2016 with the aim of making Russia a neutral and arbitration-friendly jurisdiction, as well as how it is interpreted by the Russian courts. While the reform has introduced certain positive features to the Russian arbitration law, it still raises concerns in the arbitration community given the licensing requirements of the arbitration institutions.

Bankruptcy and arbitration in Russia
Ad hoc arbitration in view of the Russian courts
In last year's edition, we described the continuing reforms within the arbitration community in the Russian Federation.
From a general standpoint, the provisions on international and domestic arbitration in Russia remain the same. Russia succeeded the USSR as a member state of the New York Convention of 1958. Upon ratifying the New York Convention of 1958, the USSR declared that it would apply the provisions of the Convention in respect of awards made in the territories of non-contracting states only to the extent to that they grant reciprocal treatment. This declaration remains in effect. Russia is also a party to the European Convention on International Commercial Arbitration of 1961 and the Moscow Convention on the Settlement by Arbitration of Civil Law Disputes Arising from Relations of Economic, Scientific, and Technical Cooperation of 1972.
Two primary statutes on arbitration are the Russian Federation Law 'On International Commercial Arbitration' (ICAL RF), which governs international arbitrations seated in Russia (even though several provisions apply to arbitrations seated abroad), and the Federal Law 'On Arbitration (Arbitration Proceedings) in the Russian Federation' (AL RF), which governs domestic arbitrations. Both laws were substantially influenced by the UNCITRAL Model Law, as well as by international principles and guidelines.
Arbitral institutions and the figures
One of the main peculiarities of Russian arbitration law is the introduction of the system of licensing for permanent arbitration institutions by the government of the Russian Federation.
There are currently seven domestic arbitral institutions in Russia (as opposed to more than 1,000 in the pre-reform years):
the International Commercial Arbitration Court (ICAC);
the Maritime Arbitration Commission at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation;
the Arbitration Centre at the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (AC RUIE);
the Russian Arbitration Centre at the Russian Institute of Modern Arbitration (RIMA);
the Sports Arbitration Chamber, licensed in April 2019;
the Arbitration Institution at the All-Russian Industrial Association of Employers 'Union of Russian Machine Builders', recently licensed in April 2021; and
the Arbitration Centre at the autonomous non-profit organisation the 'National Institute for the Development of Arbitration in the Fuel and Energy Complex', recently licensed in August 2021.
In addition, in 2018 and 2019, the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre and the Vienna International Arbitration Centre, respectively, also obtained government permission to administer arbitrations seated in Russia. The past year has brought two more international arbitration institutions to Russia. First, the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce announced that it has been granted the status of a permanent arbitration institution.[1] Second, the Singapore International Arbitration Centre similarly received the status of a permanent arbitration institution.[2]
The available statistics from the permanent arbitration institutions record the following figures in 2020:
ICAC had 621 cases;[3]
AC RUIE had 435 registered claims, including 41 claims registered in regional branches of the Arbitration Centre;[4] and
RIMA had 394 cases.[5]
However, while the arbitration reform achieved the goal of cleaning from Russia partial and 'pocket' arbitral institutions, there are still serious concerns in the Russian arbitration community due to the licensing requirements, following which only seven Russian arbitration institutions remain. In particular, the new rules caused doubts as to the transparency of the licensing process and led to several studies in this respect.[6] Also, while the number of disputes is generally growing in the Russian arbitration institutions, it was noted that the number of international disputes is still relatively small.[7]
Brief roadmap into the main issues of arbitration in Russia
ICAL RF and AL RF set out a mandatory provision as to the written form of the arbitration agreement. Exchange of letters, faxes, emails and other means also qualify as evidence of a written arbitration agreement. Both ICAL RF and AL RF establish a general presumption in favour of survivability of an arbitration agreement[8] and recognise the principle of separability.[9]
The decisive factor is that the agreement must be valid, meaning that nothing should override the party's authority or will. Defects in arbitration agreements are often used as grounds for challenging arbitral awards in the state courts. Among the most frequently used arguments are: incorrect or incomplete name of an arbitration institution and absence of references to the exact set of procedural rules of an institution.
As a general rule, neither ICAL RF nor AL RF establish any rules or provisions regarding third parties that are willing to join the arbitration proceedings. Some institutional arbitration rules may provide for the regulation of a joinder for a non-party to the arbitration.
Interim measures
The arbitral tribunal has the power to order interim measures (unless otherwise agreed by the parties).[10] Both ICAL RF and AL RF clarify that it is not prohibited for a party to request a state court (at any stage of the proceedings) to order interim measures of protection, or for a court to grant such measures.[11] The court will decide in accordance with the general principles of Russian procedural law whether to grant interim measures in support of an arbitration claim.
Recognition and enforcement
A winning party must receive a writ of execution in a state court in order to enforce an arbitral award. The application for the issuance of the writ of execution is made with a court of general jurisdiction (for non-commercial matters) or commercial court.
The application for recognition and enforcement of a foreign commercial arbitral award can be filed within three years of the date on which the award became effective. The ruling of a first-instance court on the issuance of, or refusal to issue, a writ of execution can be appealed to the cassation court within one month of its rendering (within three months for non-commercial matters). A resolution of the cassation court can be further appealed to the Supreme Court of Russia (second cassation) within two months of its rendering (within three months for non-commercial matters). Supervisory review by the Supreme Court is available within three months from the date of entry into force of the judgment of the second cassation instance (for both commercial and non-commercial matters). There is no express provision against enforcing only part of an arbitral award. A court can refuse to enforce a part of an award.
In general, the provisions of ICAL RF are silent on the matter that makes the unsuccessful party obliged to pay successful party's costs. However, tribunals usually allocate arbitration costs according to the relevant success of the parties.
As for the AL RF, the arbitral tribunals allocate costs in relation to arbitration proceedings in accordance with the agreement of the parties and where there is no such agreement, in proportion to the granted or dismissed claims.[12] Upon a winning party's application the tribunal may make an award that the costs of its legal representatives be paid by the other party.
Recent decisions and cases
Russian case law
Russian Supreme Court against an injunction on SCC arbitration
The Russian Supreme Court has refused to restrain a Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC) arbitration on the basis of recent legislation providing for the exclusive jurisdiction of Russia's courts over disputes involving sanctioned Russian parties.[13]
JSC Uraltransmash brought an appeal against the decision of lower courts denying a stay of an SCC arbitration. JSC Uraltransmash relied on June 2020 amendments to Russia's Commercial Procedure Code, which provide for the exclusive jurisdiction of the country's commercial courts over certain disputes involving sanctioned Russian individuals and entities and foreign entities controlled by them.[14] The amendments empower the courts to issue injunctions to restrain the foreign proceedings and to order a non-complying party to pay compensation up to the amount at stake in the foreign proceedings, plus costs.
The courts assumed that the appellant was fully exercising its right to judicial relief at the SCC by taking active steps in the arbitration for over two years. Furthermore, they found that the sanctions introduced against the appellant did not entail any limitations preventing performance of the relevant agreement, consideration of the dispute arising from it, or provision of legal services in view of such a dispute.
The Russian Supreme Court endorsed the lower courts' reasoning, refusing to refer the appeal to the Judicial Chamber on Economic Disputes for further review. However, on 21 September 2021, the Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Court, Ms Irina Podnosova reconsidered the matter and ruled to transfer the appeal for consideration in the Judicial Chamber of the Supreme Court. This will be obviously a precedential case, in which the Supreme Court will set its position regarding the use of anti-suit injunctions in the disputes involving the sanctioned persons.
Russian court lost in translation with German arbitration clause
In the case at hand (No. A40-222805/2019), the lawsuit was filed against several defendants. A contract and a supplementary agreement were entered into with one of the defendants. The contract provided for disputes to be heard by Schiedsgericht Stuttgart (German version) and the Arbitration Court of Stuttgart (Russian version).
The court of the first instance considered that the arbitration clause referred specifically to an arbitral tribunal and not to a state commercial court, but since there was no such arbitral tribunal in Stuttgart, in view of the Russian commercial court the arbitration clause was not enforceable. Accordingly, the court allowed the case on the merits.
The court of appeal upheld the decision of the court of first the instance, stating that:
there is no arbitral tribunal with the mentioned name in the city of Stuttgart;
there is no mechanism for the parties to use this arbitration clause;
it is impossible to determine which arbitral institution is authorised to arbitrate the dispute between the parties; and
the parties failed to specify the arbitration or mediation rules and the governing law to the dispute.
Public policy and the prohibition on reconsideration of identical claims in arbitration
After issuing the award on the merits to recover the principal debt and a penalty under the contract, and following an application of the claimant, the arbitral tribunal issued a supplementary award that increased the amounts originally awarded. The state court then overturned this award, finding that it violated Russian public policy.[15]
Later, the arbitral tribunal again considered the dispute and satisfied the claimant's claims, after which both parties, disagreeing with the arbitral award, applied to the state court for annulment. The state court satisfied the application to set aside the award, since the initial award had been annulled earlier as contrary to Russian public policy, which precluded the parties from resorting to the arbitration again.
According to the commercial court, the parties should have instead applied to the commercial court to resolve their dispute (Russian Commercial Procedure Code, article 234(4)) and the arbitral tribunal could not have reconsidered the case on the merits under such circumstances.
The Russian Supreme Court sends a bankrupt to arbitration
On 13 May 2021, a ruling was rendered refusing to refer an insolvent party's appeal against the decisions of lower instance courts to the Judicial Chamber of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation for Economic Disputes. The debtor is contesting the judgments due to the fact that its claims were left without consideration, reasoning that the claimant's insolvency did not rule out arbitration.[16]
When justifying why the dispute could not be arbitrated, the claimant relied on judgments in Case No. A40-16719/19, whereby an arbitration clause with another creditor was declared unenforceable in the same insolvency proceedings. The courts had refused to follow this practice, ruling that the facts of the disputes were different.
Thus, in Case No. A40-16719/19, the claimant sought a deferral of payment of the arbitration fee, which was denied, while the respondent failed to prove that the debtor had funds to cover the arbitration. At the same time in Case No. A40-31546/2020, having been declared bankrupt, the claimant nonetheless did not apply for a deferral of payment of the arbitration fee, and the respondent provided evidence of the claimant's being in possession of sufficient funds, and filed a guarantee letter, confirming its willingness to cover all of the arbitration costs itself.
The role of a court-appointed receiver in these two disputes is also worth considering. In the first dispute, the appellate court remanded the case for re-examination, since the claimant was undergoing bankruptcy supervision. The court was of the opinion that the provisional administrator should have been brought into the arbitral proceedings as a third party, which was not permitted by the ICC Arbitration Rules. At the same time, the dispute in Case No. A40-31546/2020 coincided with the latest stage of insolvency proceedings (receivership), and, therefore, the court-appointed receiver was fully authorised to represent the insolvent claimant, hence the issue of third-party joinder was not relevant.
A document named as an arbitral award
On 16 November 2020, a judge of the Commercial Court of the Kaluga Region delivered a ruling refusing to issue a writ of execution for the enforcement of an award of the ad hoc arbitrator, A A Galich, 'who called himself an arbitral tribunal acting as a sole arbitrator' and who rendered, in the opinion of the state court, 'a document named an arbitral award.'[17]
In dismissing the request for a writ of execution filed by Scientific and Production Enterprise Foton LLC against Synergia LLC, the commercial court stressed, in particular, that A A Galich effectively performed administration of arbitration in the absence of the government permission to the arbitration institution, which is a violation of the procedure set forth by the federal law.
Furthermore, according to the court, the tribunal was an ad hoc tribunal constituted for resolving a specific dispute only formally, while in reality it demonstrated the characteristics inherent to institutional arbitration, as confirmed by the website, containing the information on the work of the tribunal, links to case law, an association of arbitrators – the Kaluga Regional Chamber of Arbitrators and Judges – that has not obtained the right to function as a permanent arbitration institution after 1 November 2017.
The court then qualified the conduct of the parties to the dispute as a form of unlawful use of arbitration, pointing out the bad faith and abuse of rights by the parties and the arbitrator, which created the appearance of a private law dispute.
Russian courts agreed with an ad hoc award issued with respect to non-signatories of the arbitration agreement
On 3 November 2020, the Commercial Court for the Moscow District upheld the ruling of the court of first instance that refused to set aside the arbitral award in question. In support of their arguments, the applicants submitted that the arbitration agreement had been signed by only one of the seven respondents.
Yet, the Moscow Commercial Court and later the Commercial Court for the Moscow District both confirmed that the arbitration clause extended not only to its signatory, but also to the affiliates of the latter. In this regard, the Moscow Commercial Court cited the arbitral award in its ruling: 'Para. 8.2 of the Settlement Agreement stipulates that all parties thereto are responsible for the recognition by their affiliates of the final nature of that Agreement. Therefore, if the affiliates – here, meaning also any legal entities – face claims under the said agreements or in view of their termination, the arbitration clause must apply as well.'[18]
The Court also noted that the respondents never contested the arbitral tribunal's jurisdiction during the arbitration and were actively participating in the proceedings in the case.
International investment cases with a Russian twist
Prosecutors take the driving seat in arbitration and international courts
The State Duma (lower house of the Russian parliament) passed in the third (final) reading the presidential bill on empowering the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation instead of the Russian Ministry of Justice to represent the interests of the Russian Federation in international and foreign courts. The explanatory note to the draft law indicates that the transfer to the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation of the functions of representing and protecting the interests of the Russian Federation in interstate bodies, foreign and international courts and before international arbitral tribunals will increase the overall effectiveness.[19]
Originally, in March 2021 Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to delegate to the Prosecutor General's Office the authority to represent Russia at the European Court of Human Rights and other international courts. Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov justified it based on the constant pressure on Russia from Ukrainian legal claims, 'legal aggression' against Russia unleashed by Russian and foreign businessmen (Sergei Pugachev, Mikhail Khodorkovsky and others), as well as the delicate situation with the World Anti-Doping Agency. In his view, the situation required urgent actions and the Prosecutor's Office has all the tools to most effectively ensure the protection of the state.
Yukos saga continues
The Yukos narrative continues to be one of the most vividly discussed topics in the sphere of international arbitration. On 5 February 2021, the Supreme Court of the Netherlands held an in-person hearing on the appeal of the Russian Federation against the ruling of the Court of Appeal of The Hague of 18 February 2020, which upheld the arbitral awards issued in 2014 in the Yukos case.[20]
The counsel of the Russian Federation presented several arguments about serious flaws in the arbitral awards that were ignored by the appellate court. First, the Russian Federation could not be considered bound by the arbitration clause contained in the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) as this international treaty had never been ratified by the state. Only the Russian parliament could, by its decision on ratification, extend the jurisdiction of international arbitration (arbitral tribunal) to relations between the Russian state and investors. Moreover, the ECT cannot protect the so-called circular 'investments', which in fact were the siphoning off assets from the Russian Federation for the purpose of money laundering and tax evasion.
Further, the Russian counsel emphasised that the issues of the proper interpretation of the ECT should be referred to the Court of Justice of the European Union, as they relate to the interpretation of EU law. The Russian Federation shares the concern at the level of many EU countries that the modern investor–state dispute settlement system, instead of protecting genuinely foreign investments, is often being used for resolution of in fact domestic tax and administrative disputes, and arbitral tribunals regularly overstep their established competence. One might also take a closer look at the final remarks of the Russian Deputy Minister of Justice concerning the case.[21]
At the same time, on 23 April 2021, an adviser to the Supreme Court of the Netherlands has recommended that Russia's appeal to overturn the US$50 billion award won by the former majority shareholders in Yukos should be dismissed.[22] In its non-binding opinion, the court's advocate general Paul Vlas advised that all grounds that Russia has raised in its set-aside application should be rejected.[23]
The decision of the Supreme Court of the Netherlands on the appeal of the Russian Federation is awaited before the end of 2021.
Notably, on 14 April 2021, the High Court in London refused to lift a stay on enforcing the Yukos award. Although originally the stay was put in place before the judgment of the Court of Appeal of The Hague, on 14 April 2021, Mr Justice Henshaw of the High Court ruled to maintain it until the Supreme Court of the Netherlands makes its final decision. Mr Justice Henshaw reasoned that in his view Russia's appeal before the Supreme Court of the Netherlands stands a chance of success and is not aimed solely at delaying the procedure any further. The Court also dismissed the Yukos shareholders' request to order that Russia provide security in the form of US$7 billion. The High Court judge noted that, although Russia was opposing enforcement, there was no evidence of the state's intention to hide assets.[24]
In parallel, Russia received a new decision in the Yukos case. The Yukos Foundation reported that a Geneva-seated tribunal issued the award, ordering Russia to pay US$5 billion to a former affiliate of Yukos, in one of the second wave of treaty claims filed over the oil company's collapse.[25] The Yukos Foundation stated that 'The Tribunal found that Russia illegally expropriated Yukos Capital's loans to its former parent company Yukos Oil and denied it justice in the Russian courts in what represented the very opposite of due process of law.'[26]
As was expected, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation stated that it would appeal this decision.[27] Apparently, the Yukos case is far from being finished, and there is a lot of room for further action.
VEB.RF looking to recover damages from Ukraine in the Prominvestbank dispute
VEB.RF is a Russian state development corporation that provides financing for large-scale projects to develop the country's infrastructure, including the banking sphere.
In September 2018, the Kiev Court of Appeal seized the shares of Ukrainian 'subsidiaries' of the Russian state banks, including Prominvestbank. At the beginning of March 2020, it became known that the Ukrainian authorities sold the shares in Prominvestbank at an auction, but there was no information about the buyer. VEB.RF considers the auction illegal and intends to compensate for its losses at the expense of the Ukrainian assets on the territory of foreign jurisdictions.[28] According to the UNCTAD, the Russian state corporation's claims amount to US$200 million.[29]
On 31 January 2021, the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce tribunal issued an interim award recognising VEB.RF as an investor within the meaning of the Russia–Ukraine BIT. The arbitrators also confirmed that VEB.RF discharged its duty to try to settle the dispute.
The Paris Court of Appeal reverses the Russia v JSC Oschadbank award
The arbitral award ordering Russia to pay US$1.1 billion worth of compensation to Oschadbank has been set aside in France on jurisdictional grounds. The reason for the reversal was that the bank's Crimean division had been functioning since 1991. The French court therefore ruled that the bank's assets were not covered by the Russia–Ukraine BIT that guaranteed investment protection only from 1992. The Court also dismissed the bank's objections to the effect that those arguments had not been raised during the arbitration.[30]
Ukrainian company Energoatom demands compensation for lost assets
The Ukrainian company Energoatom has announced on its website that it has sent a notice of dispute to the competent authorities of the Russian Federation under article 9(1) of the 1999 Agreement between the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1302 on Promotion and Mutual Protection of Investments.[31]
The dispute refers to assets lost by the company in Crimea, in particular, the Donuzlavska Wind Power Plant, which is currently located in the territory held by the Russian Federation.

Most boilers will last between 10 and 15 years as long as they are properly maintained throughout their lifetime. At Stang Plumbing & Heating, we recommend that you have your Gaithersburg boiler inspected by a professional on a yearly basis. Doing so can help uncover potential issues that will cost much less to repair if you catch them early. However, you may end up needing repair work whether you get a regular inspection or not.
If you think there's something wrong with your boiler, don't put off scheduling a boiler repair as the problem will only grow worse and become more expensive.
If you're in need of boiler repair in Gaithersburg, contact us at Stang Plumbing & Heating or call 301-926-1462 for prompt and professional service!
Your boiler is making strange sounds – Most boilers make some kind of noise when they are operating, but it shouldn't stand out. If you suddenly hear loud, strange sounds that you don't normally hear, then there's something wrong with the boiler.
Your energy costs are going up – Although there are a number of reasons why your energy costs are going up, one of those reasons could be because your boiler has become less efficient. Speak with your energy supplier first to see if there was a raise in prices or whether your usage rate has gone up. If everything has stayed the same, then it's most likely a problem with your boiler. We will thoroughly inspect your boiler in order to identify what that problem is so that we can repair it.
Your boiler is emitting a strange odor – If your boiler isn't burning the way it's supposed to, then it could end up emitting a slight odor. Although it may be faint, it's a good indicator that something's not right and could be the result of a carbon monoxide leak. Check around the boiler's casing for any dark spots. If you see any, contact us right away for a professional inspection.
Your boiler is taking longer to heat up – If it's taking longer for your home to heat up, then your boiler may be growing less effective. Regular maintenance can help prevent this from happening, but once it begins growing older, it may need repair work to keep it working as effectively and efficiently as possible.
The boiler's flame is yellow – A yellow flame is a sign that there's a problem with your boiler's combustion process. The flame should normally be blue. If it's yellow, it means that it's producing too much carbon monoxide, which is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that can be potentially deadly if produced in large amounts. You'll want this looked at immediately since this is indicative of a safety issue.
To schedule a boiler repair service in Gaithersburg, be sure to contact us at Stang Plumbing & Heating today!

While the earth has the biotic diversity with defining interactions, little evidence exists to show possible existence of life in the other planets. This induces uncertainty and prompts need for research amidst theories that people have help about the universe. Efforts by astronomers, into developed knowledge about each planet of the solar system has however developed awareness of each planet's potential and helped to dispel wrong perspectives that people had developed, and held on, about the planets (Trimble 19).
Information exist that demonstrate order in the universe, an arrangement whose existence is known but whose origin and history remains a mystery that only scientific research can unlock. The course has however, and through different approaches, been helpful in developing knowledge on the solar system. Its content that covers much information about the solar system has been informative, and independent research on emerging issues and concerns on existing theories on the solar system has improved my understanding of the system. One of the lessons that I have learnt about the universe is its long-term existence, dating back to more than 38 million years ago. I have also developed insights into forces around the universe that hat has sustained it (Trimble 37). In addition, I have developed great insights from the course with the need to preserve the universe as an important responsibility that human beings have. In understanding the role of the earth in the universe, the course has informed me of the need for human beings to be effectively involved in ensuring sustainability of the universe. Even though natural mechanisms exist, initiated and facilitated by different elements of the solar system, which ensures sustainability of the solar system, humans must play an active role in the sustainability through controlling
