Technology has transformed our professional and personal lives. In the future, the integration of tech, business, and life will become even more seamless. With so much rapid change, how can leaders adapt their decision making for success? In Time is Now, Raj Verma takes readers on a journey to demystify AI and the future of decision making. Through both personal and professional reflections, Verma shows the power of Now as a convergence of Information, Context, and Choice: Information is data, the collection of memory which shapes our identity. Context is the analysis of all information in the present. Choice is focused on the future, approached with courage and conscience. From these three pillars of Now, we write our future--for better or worse. How can we leverage artificial intelligence to amplify our own intelligence? By demystifying AI, can we demystify ourselves? The pages inside provide the first steps to answer these important questions.

The effects of US secondary sanctions are broad and are often designed to cripple the target country’s economy and currency. Some states have sought to circumvent these sanctions by setting up a special purpose vehicle to facilitate trade and financial transactions with the sanctioned country on humanitarian grounds. Although the nature of these special purpose vehicles is new and experimental, they are little understood, not least how they operate and function in international law. This volume addresses this gap by identifying and examining some of the legal issues that a special purpose vehicle such as the Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges (INSTEX) generates. The collection brings together leading legal academics, sanctions practitioners and policy experts to provide an assessment of the special purpose vehicle in the context of secondary sanctions in international law. It will be of interest to researchers and academics in International law, Security law, Economic law and Comparative law.
