Abstract
While there has been discussion of the computer manipulability of classification notations from a theoretical viewpoint, there has been little, if any on practical filing. A practical filing rubric, with explanation of machine filing concepts, is presented here. Some observations on the suitability of Library of Congress and Dewey Decimal notations for computer search follow.

Abstract
The 1980s and 1990s constituted a boom period for foreign direct investment. The opening of dozens of new nations to foreign direct investment and the associated confidence in these countries' long-term growth potential led more multinational firms from more countries to undertake investment of greater magnitude in more countries than in any previous historical period. In his 1983 Harvard Business Review article “The Globalization of Markets,” Theodore Levitt (1983) famously advised companies that if they wished to survive, they should expand quickly to global scale. More recently, Thomas Friedman (2005) reinforced Levitt's conclusion in his book “The World Is Flat: Distance is dead. Markets have now converged.” Governments were helpless in the face of the power of global finance. The question posed to managers of multinational corporations was not where to invest globally but rather how fast. During this period, the United Nations reports that the magnitude of global foreign direct investment surged in real terms from $89 billion to $471 billion (constant 2,000 USD) or from 0.5% to 4.4% of global output. The percentage of those flows destined for developing and transition economies soared from 13.9% to a peak of 41.4%.

Abstract
Athletes have leveraged their social platform and reach to advocate for a variety of social causes. Most recently, given the persistent impacts of climate change on sport, the sport sector has been leveraged to engage and educate fans, sport participants, and athletes to promote climate action while consuming sport and in their everyday lives. This chapter conceptualizes the term sport eco-activism and presents a rich history of the early stages of this form of activism and its interaction with sport. Specifically, we provide historical context and examples of how athletes and activist sport organizations (e.g., Surfers Against Sewage, Protect Our Winters) have drawn attention to the impacts of climate change on sport. We also highlight how these entities encourage spectators and participants to change their behaviors and further advocate for collective climate action. In addition, we offer insights on future directions of eco-activism within sport and how such activists can best resonate with their target audiences to create positive change through sport.

Abstract
Investigates the differences in protocols between arbitral tribunals and courts, with particular emphasis on US, Greek and English law. Gives examples of each country and its way of using the law in specific circumstances, and shows the variations therein. Sums up that arbitration is much the better way to gok as it avoids delays and expenses, plus the vexation/frustration of normal litigation. Concludes that the US and Greek constitutions and common law tradition in England appear to allow involved parties to choose their own judge, who can thus be an arbitrator. Discusses e‐commerce and speculates on this for the future.
