you might think, by the age of 42, a person would be okay with being who they are.
that she might be unafraid to tell people that her Waldorf-school kid spent the snow day playing video games and watching Teen Titans Go!
but sometimes, even a sparkly fairytale unicorn princess like me has trouble owning her power.
you see, there's a lot of people out there, expressing their opinions of what we should be. What we're allowed to like. What we should consume. Or not. What philosophies are okay. What snacks to give your kid. or your cat.
and I am as vulnerable as the next princess to the heavy expectations of others. I spent years and years molding myself into the form I thought they expected.
I can remember sobbing to my mother, "but I can't just do what I want, because they've already all decided what I'm allowed to be, and I have to be that for them..."
You would think that by 42, I'd be over all of it.
and if that's true, YAY!!! You are my role model.
But if maybe you have thought, "I'm too old to like Anne of Green Gables..."
"Everyone has moved on from liking Hamilton..."
"I should be reading more challenging/thought-provoking/disturbing books..."
"This outfit is for someone younger/prettier/thinner/more curvy/female..."
I am here for you. You are my people. And I have words of wisdom for you.
Today, what I like is science acapella videos.
What do you like? Tell people. Share your joy. Be uncool and silly and happy.

Burger King quits work experience scheme for jobless
Scheme has attracted criticism in recent weeks with opponents describing it as a form of slave labour

Burger King has announced it has pulled out of the government's controversial work experience scheme.
The fast food giant said it had decided to cease its involvement in the Get Britain Working programme because of recent concerns expressed by the public.
The scheme has attracted growing criticism in recent weeks with opponents describing it as a form of slave labour because young people worked for nothing, while keeping their benefits.
Burger King said it had registered for the programme six weeks ago intending to take on young people for work experience at its Slough headquarters, but had not recruited anyone.
"Given the recent concerns expressed by the public we have decided to no longer have any involvement in the programme," the company said in a statement.
The supermarket giant Tesco this week offered to pay people on the scheme and asked ministers to remove the threat of benefit sanctions against those not completing their work experience.
Retail giant Poundland has withdrawn from the scheme after reportedly voicing similar concerns about its mandatory element.
The employment minister Chris Grayling has defended the scheme, saying that half of those who joined it after the launch 11 weeks ago had now found a job, often with companies which offered them work experience.
He said that offering young people work experience, with the chance of a job at the end, was better than "simply leaving them" on benefits.
The politician claimed that firms reportedly pulling out of the programme, including the supermarket Sainsbury's, had never formally been involved in the government initiative because they ran their own scheme.
He said a lot of large companies were coming under pressure from right-to-work activists to withdraw from the scheme.
Ken McMeikan, chief executive of the bakery chain Greggs, has said he was not comfortable with young people potentially losing their benefits if they left the initiative.

iMessage Cup Pong: How to play, cheats, tips, tricks iPhone
by Tim Vickers
iMessage Cup Pong is an exciting multiplayer game in which players take turns throwing a ball into cups. The player that will be able to throw the ball in the highest number of cups wins the match.
Cup Pong is quite a fun game that would conventionally be played at parties. So how do you play cup pong on iMessage?
And how can you beat your friends in it? Well, it is actually simple. Cup Pong rules are similar to beer pong rules.
Read Also: How to play GamePigeon games on Mac
To play cup pong on iMessage, the players must start the game and take turns. The gameplay is straightforward. Here are the rules, gameplay, and tricks that you can use.
Gameplay and rules
1. When starting, always aim for the middle cups
2. Eliminate the easiest options first
3. Preview your shot alignment first
The game must have two players: A second player needs to join for the game to begin competitively. The player starting the game will take the first turn throwing the ball to the cups.
The players have to put the ball in a cup to earn a point: There is only one way to get points in cup pong, and that is by placing the ball inside a mug. If a ball hits the ball that is not counted as a score.
Each player has one attempt per turn: Every player will attempt to play the ball once. If they put in successfully, they then earn another consecutive attempt until the ball fails to fall in the cup.
Once a ball lands in a cup, the cup is removed: Every time a ball falls inside a cup, the cup is set aside until all cups are removed. On the restart, all the cups are returned and arranged in a pyramid shape.
The winner is the player who has put the ball in most of the cups: A tally is done, and the player who has successfully thrown the ball in as many cups wins the match.

These Cup pong iMessage tips will basically guide you on how to throw the ball and win the game. There are no easy cheats even if you play cup pong online.
You still have to pay attention to the finer details.
In the first round, the middle cups are always the easiest to get. This is because you do not need to struggle with angles.
The only thing you need is to shoot with enough power.
Since points are earned per the number of cups removed, try to get all the nearest and easy cups first.
This will give you an advantage over your opponent rather than trying to go for the fancy far cups.
Image: Twitter/cizzorz
Try and measure with a straight object the trajectory of your shot to correctly anticipate where it will fall. You can use a ruler to form the perfect line and use it as a guide for your shot.
There are no easy ways to play Cup Pong on iMessage since it is a challenging technical game.
However, with these tips and enough practice, the experience becomes enjoyable and comfortable with time and you'll enjoy one of the best games on iMessage.

Students anticipate Chin's poetic passion

In her book Words in Your Face: A Guided Tour Through Twenty Years of the New York City Poetry Slam, Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz said of Staceyann Chin, "To watch Chin perform is to watch the very essence of poetry manifested: her performances are imperfect, volatile and beautiful. Chin's poetry is passionate and well-written, sure; but it's her ability to communicate that passion in performance that is unparalled. She becomes the poetry."
On Wednesday, April 15th, at 6 pm in Rocky 300, the Sexual Assault & Violence Prevention Program (SAVP) and CARES brings this renowned poet, performer and activist to Vassar for a Spoken Word event as a part of the two-week Sexual Assault Awareness Program. The event is also co-sponsored by the LGBTQ and Women's Centers.
Charlotte Strauss Swanson, the SAVP coordinator, said: "Our goal for Sexual Assault Awareness [Weeks] is to engage students in activism and dialogue to raise awareness around issues of sexual violence. In doing this work, it is important to us to highlight how diverse groups, such as LGBTQ communities and women of color, are disproportionately impacted by violence."
After looking into a number of spoken word artists and political activists, SAVP and CARES ultimately decided that Chin was an ideal choice to get the message across for Sexual Assault Awareness Weeks: "We are excited to bring Staceyann Chin because her poetry raises critical questions about violence against women, body empowerment, and the connectedness between multiple forms of oppression. As a lesbian woman of color who was born in Jamaica and later moved to the United States, Chin incorporates the intersectionalities of her identity into her poetry and feminist activism," said Swanson. "We also value spoken word as an art form that is expressive, empowering, and deeply political and are excited about the opportunity to engage the Vassar community with this type of performance!"
Susie Martinez, an SAVP intern and CARES listener, said: "I think that we don't often hear about the stories of queer women of color, especially when it comes to talking about sexual assault, and how different identities navigate such a traumatic experience. I think it's powerful to see yourself represented in areas such as creative art and spoken word, which is what makes bringing in Staceyann Chin feel right."
Born in Jamaica, Staceyann Chin is of Chinese-Jamaican and Afro-Jamaican descent, and has been vocal about her struggles due to her race and sexuality and how those two intersect: "I think now what I work hard to do is to articulate the identities that are still under the attack of racism and sexism. I represent the women of Jamaica who are unable to travel across borders to speak about their identities and their lives. I talk about people who are poor, and I suppose I represent people who might come to Sweden, who might find themselves invisible, or might find that they come up against larger things than what they are able to deal with," said Chin in a 2009 interview with Trikster.
She now lives in Brooklyn, New York, and in 2009 published a memoir, The Other Side of Paradise, which she describes in the same interview: "It talks about growing up in Jamaica, about what it was like living in such a gendered identity, about being a kid with a loud mouth, about being abandoned." When Chin first moved to New York, she associated the city with freedom: "I was lucky I came and found that thing I was looking for. I had no expectations. I only wanted to be alive, feel, and experience new things. When you feel as if you're trapped in a situation, I suppose freedom looks very good," says Chin in an interview with The Root. However, it wasn't everything she expected it to be: "What I'm learning to do these days is be present in the life that I have and make the life that I have better. I thought if I found James Baldwin's New York from Another Country, I would be so happy. I found that it isn't New York that has made it so, but me being conscious of the smaller things and to not expect too much of the bigger things. I never expected to be a writer or poet here, or for people to know my name. And I realized I would be equally happy if that never happened. I was looking for something outside of myself to save me, but what I really needed to do was plot a path, follow it, and leave myself open for detours, unexpected pleasures and moments of failure."
Today, Chin is confident in who she has become: "When I talk to my friends, they are not surprised that I became a writer or activist or loud-mouth talking about unspeakable things. In my heart of hearts, I was always a little girl born without a doctor in a one-room hut in rural Jamaica. I was always trying to shake that as a reality, lie about it, accept it and neutralize it. Today I know that it is a fact about me that is as irrevocable and unchanging as the color of my skin. I suppose what has surprised me most is that a country girl born with no doctor can become anybody."
She has also published other books such as Wildcat Woman and Stories Surrounding My Coming. Her poems have appeared in several anthologies, such as Black Cool: One Thousand Streams of Blackness, though she hasn't published a book of poems yet, claiming that, "I haven't put a published book of poems out because I think it takes a really long time to become a poet. And I don't think I'm quite there yet. I'm still working on the craft of writing poems and what they might be if they were good poems. I articulate my identity within the work that I do, but I feel like some of it is still very clumsy in the craft." Her work has also been published in The New York Times and the Washington Post. She is a winner of many awards and accolades, such as the 1999 Chicago People of Color Slam and the 1998 Lambda Poetry Slam. She performed in and co-wrote Russell Simmons Def Poetry Jam, which was based on the HBO spoken word poetry television series. It opened on Broadway and ran until May 2003, winning a Tony award. Chin was also featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show and 60 Minutes.
Of all her TV and radio appearances, Chin says, "To me, when I look behind me, it seems like I haven't been up to much. So when people say 'oh, you've been up to so much, and I saw you in this and that', it's kind of like I'm doing the same thing every day…I'm just plotting along and trying to do my part in a process of changing the world and making it better."
Aside from Spoken Word with Staceyann Chin, there are a number of other events coming up this month to raise awareness for sexual assault. Swanson said, "On April 22nd at 6:30pm in the Sander's Auditorium we are hosting a screening and discussion of the recently released documentary, 'The Hunting Ground.' The film exposes the impact of sexual assault for students on college campuses and the lack of institutional and administrative response to the issue. On April 29th we will also be co-sponsoring an acappella concert to raise awareness about violence against women. The proceeds will go to Family Services in Poughkeepsie. In collaboration with the Title IX office and the Office of Institutional Research we will also be launching 'The Vassar Sexual Assault Climate Survey' to better assess the needs of students on campus in regards to these issues." In addition, CARES will be having an Art Show from 5 – 7pm in the Aula on April 14th, and a Speakout in the Faculty Parlor from 5 – 7pm on April 16th.
The organizers of the month's events have high hopes for how they might contribute to sexual assault awareness: "We're hoping that the event will raise awareness about issues related to sexual violence through the use of a creative art form and encourage meaningful dialogue amongst the audience," said Swanson.
Susie Martinez added, "Overall, we hope that the programming for this month will continue to raise awareness about sexual assault on campuses, including at Vassar."

Q: Remove Weka Instances if one or more attributes have certain value I have a dataset with multiple numeric attributes and a nominal class, like
@relation Example

@attr_1 numeric
@attr_2 numeric
 ...
@attr_n numeric
@class {yes, no}

@data
2,4,...,10,yes
-1,-1,...,3,yes
2,3,...,-1,no
12,6,...,4,no

Usually values are bigger than zero, but it appears that one or more numeric attributes can have a negative value -1.
How can I remove the instances with at least one attribute having a negative value?
I already found this but I don't explicitly know in which attribute the negative value appears. So, does someone know another more fitting Filter to this problem?

A: Have a look on RemoveWithValues filter, specify the attribute index, and focus on last parameter - splitPoint. If the values are smaller than entered value, they would be removed. So your splitPoint value should be 0. Good luck

This contribution is an updated version of the Spanish language article Abrisketa Uriarte J (2012) Los problemas del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos para aplicar el Derecho Internacional Humanitario. Revista de Derecho Comunitario Europeo 43:875–899.
The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) is increasingly receiving applications relating to armed conflict or other types of situations of violence. In the past, the most notable cases concerned Northern Ireland or the conflict between Cyprus and Turkey that led to the issuing of several judgments during the 1980s and 1990s. At the moment, one of the most difficult issues for the Court is the involvement of troops belonging to member States of the Council of Europe in foreign countries. The problems stem mainly from the scenario left by the war in Former Yugoslavia and from the conflict in Iraq. A number of cases arising from Russia's disputes with Chechnya and Turkey's differences with the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) have also been examined by the Court recently. In order to deal with these cases, the Strasbourg Court relies almost exclusively on interpreting the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR) and it has therefore become the applicable legal instrument for those types of violent situation.
However, in cases where armed force has clearly been used, the Strasbourg Court could also turn to other sources of international law, such as international humanitarian law (IHL). Nevertheless, it hardly ever does, or at least not obertly. Rather than turning to IHL explicitly, the Court uses what some have called "its own approach" (Guellali 2007 , pp. 539–575; Forowicz 2010 , pp. 313–351). Namely, it examines armed conflicts in the light of the ECHR, on the understanding that this remains applicable, and so avoids having to deal directly with IHL, which remains lurking in the background to some of its rulings. While this approach is promising approach inasmuch as in that it provides case law on the conduct of hostilities, it does prompt the question: But However, why is the ECtHR resistant reluctant to interpreting IHL when there is no legal obstacle whatsoever to using it as a means of interpreting the provisions of the ECHR?
More specifically this article poses the following questions:
To what extent is the ECHR applicable in cases of armed conflicts and violence, and what techniques does the Strasbourg Court employ for interpreting it?
What are the constraints preventing the ECHR from being read in light of the standards relating to armed conflicts?
To answer these questions, it is necessary first of all to move away from the idea that IHL has the status of lex specialis with regard to international human rights law (IHRL) in armed conflict situations. That is not how the Court understands lex specialis. As will be seen, none of the variants put forward by the International Law Commission (ILC) (International Law Commission 2006 , pp. 37–72) on the relations between different applicable laws are clearly used in Strasbourg case law. Secondly, ECtHR case law must obviously be examined.
This study makes sense for a number of reasons. Firstly, because it incorporates an issue that the Strasbourg Court is yet to resolve, namely the relationship between different corpora iuris (in this case, IHL and IHRL). Two aspects in particular are highlighted in this analysis: the potential interpretative function of IHL, which would be used in line with the recommendations made by the ILC in its report on the Fragmentation of International Law; and the rare and subliminal use made of it by the Strasbourg Court.
Moreover, one of the concerns of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is precisely the fact that it is not yet equipped with any judicial mechanism for monitoring the implementation of IHL. It is bodies outside of the organisation itself (not only the Strasbourg Court but also the ad hoc Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, the International Criminal Court, and even domestic courts established in the context of peace processes1) that interpret IHL. In time this will lead to differences of opinion between the judicial bodies in question. In fact, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is trying to find a way of submitting the international obligations assumed under IHL to effective judicial review, but it has yet to establish its own adjudicatory system. It is therefore useful to examine the contribution that bodies outside of the ICRC make to IHL. When exercising its adjudicatory function, the Strasbourg Court becomes, albeit covertly, an interpreter of IHL.
In addition, the Strasbourg Court's function is to examine individual applications. However, given that the context in which the cases under examination are presented is one of armed conflict, the applications submitted may result in the Court having to contend with rendering judgment on mass human rights violations (Heintze 2002 , pp. 60–77). Indirectly, the Court is opened up to issues that go beyond delivering an individual judgment, such as the provision of compensation and reparation to war victims.2
Furthermore, the European Union (EU), which through the Lisbon Treaty established a duty to respect human rights both inside and outside of the organisation, and whose Common European Security Policy is structured around those rights, is not oblivious to the hermeneutic value of the verdicts of the Strasbourg Court. Any future peace missions designed by the EU will be legally framed around the principles and categories of both IHRL and IHL. It is clear that trends in the case law developed by this Court affect both the EU as an organisation and its Member States. The challenge is to uncover what the Strasbourg Court does not mention, namely, the IHL rules which it could use but does not, a task which is certainly more complicated than identifying what the Court does say.
This article therefore examines the scope of ECtHR case law when it has to address issues involving the use of armed force. To that end, the first part of the article provides a summary of the general characteristics of the complementarity between IHL and IHRL, which is generally accepted as being the most orthodox way of understanding the relationship between the two (Gioia 2011 , pp. 200–249). This is followed by an examination of that relationship, conducted through the prism of the case law developed by the Strasbourg Court. It focuses on a series of cases stemming from three types of situation: occupations; situations in which the State exercises effective control over part of a foreign territory in the context of an international mission; and, lastly, internal armed conflicts of varying severity. Categorising them in this way makes it possible to assess the different techniques the Court uses when dealing with settings involving armed violence.
11.3 The Complementarity Between International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Law
Prior to the adoption of the ECHR, the principle assumed by the international community was that in time of armed conflict only IHL would apply. Other norms of general international law would be set aside. With the idea of retaining that general approach, the ECHR of 1950 was drafted to be applied mainly in peacetime. However, Article 15 of the ECHR,3 with its system of allowing derogation from certain rights, brings what Draper calls "a new philosophy" of the relationship between the law of armed conflict and human rights, a philosophy which marked the beginning of their complementarity (Draper 1972 , pp. 326–338).
Article 15 demonstrates two features to the relationship between IHL and IHRL. The first is that IHL is incorporated by reference, when it refers to "other obligations under international law". Secondly, it stresses that, in the event of derogation, both IHRL and IHL are applicable simultaneously, thereby producing a material interaction between the two. If a State derogates from certain provisions of the ECHR, it must do so in a way that is consistent with the remaining norms of international law. That is where the two bodies of law coincide.
Furthermore, Article 15 (2) states that no derogation may be made from certain provisions of the ECHR. These derogation clauses, says Pérez González, are where IHL and IHRL converge, since the irreducible core of non-derogable rights corresponds to the minimum protection sought in Common Article 3 to the 1949 Geneva Conventions and Protocol I (Pérez González 2006 , pp. 13–35) of 1977. With regard to the right to life, in particular, derogation from Article 2 of the ECHR is only authorised in the case of deaths resulting from lawful acts of war. This is a way of saying that, given that the ECHR does not provide criteria for conflict situations, it will make use of those established by IHL in its capacity as lex specialis. In other words, in peacetime the general stipulations of human rights shall apply, and in wartime, when the right to life is concerned, IHL will be used as an interpretational source.
However, aside from the provisions of Article 15, interest in the relationship between IHRL and IHL emerged mainly during the 1970s (Cáceres Brun 2009 , pp. 953–969; Meron 2003 , pp. 157–178; Pérez González 1998 , pp. 315–393). Following a process of convergence extensively set out in legal doctrine and also reflected by various United Nations bodies and even in Protocol I of 1977, today the complementarity between the two bodies of laws is unquestionable. It is just worth noting that IHRL and IHL, though not exhaustive, are generally accepted as being complementary, in the sense that both can apply simultaneously in situations of internal and international armed conflict and each can be used to interpret the other (Sassòli 2007 , pp. 375–395; Orakhelashvili 2008 , pp. 161–182).
However, neither the intense doctrinal debate on the complementarity between IHL and IHRL nor the contributions made by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (Gardan 2001 , pp. 349–365; Burgorgue-Larsen and Úbeda de Torres 2011 , pp. 148–174) have been matched by a similar discussion at the level of Strasbourg case law, which has preferred to avoid making any explicit references to either complementarity or IHL itself.
11.4 Case Law from the European Court of Human Rights Related to Armed Conflict
Against a background in which both doctrine and case law have established the convergence between the two bodies of law, the fact that this has had so little influence on the case law of the Strasbourg Court is striking. There are several different reasons, some legal and some political, why the ECtHR has almost never explicitly referred to elements of complementarity between the ECHR and IHL. The first legal reason for not applying IHL stems from the differences between the two bodies of law and the fact that the Court may consider, stricto sensu, that it does not have subject-matter jurisdiction in the area of IHL because its reference and structural framework is exclusively the ECHR. The second reason is that the clause in Article 15 of the ECHR relating to the derogation of rights has hardly ever been used. If Article 15 is not invoked, then the Court applies the ECHR as a whole. Whether (or not) it is a case of armed conflict is not a matter of law for the Court. It does not engage (at least directly) in classifying situations. Ea res facti, non juris est. The Court therefore manages to elude IHL by not classifying situations. Both of these reasons are certainly correct, legally and formally speaking. However, if the State has not made use of the derogation clause but the context in which the events are taking place is one of armed conflict, could the Court decide motu propio that such a conflict exists and use IHL? I believe that there are grounds for saying that it could. Without losing sight of the mainstay of its reasoning, which has to be the ECHR, it may be useful for the Court to turn to other norms of international law such as IHL (it already, in fact, refers to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Convention against Torture and the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, among others).
The reasons why the Court refrains from applying IHL are mainly political. Applying IHL would mean recognising that a State is incapable of dealing with the armed violence taking place in its country. Expressly alluding to it would stigmatise and undermine the State concerned, causing the latter to show hostility to the Court's work. That being the case, the following question arises: Is there any kind of procedural technique, within the ECHR system, that could prevent the loss of IHL's remit?
As indicated in the introduction, the study focuses on three specific problems the Court faced: the first relating to classification of a situation as an occupation; the second relating to the exercise of overall and/or effective control over part of a foreign territory; and thirdly, cases of internal armed conflict. These three categories have been chosen because in each situation different problems arise, therefore also requiring different solutions.
11.4.1 Classification of a Situation as an Occupation
An occupation is defined as being a situation in which a hostile army exercises control over a territory.4 It is common knowledge that in international law an occupation is classed as an international armed conflict, thus giving rise to a particular regime: the occupying State has an obligation to comply with IHL, in particular, the Fourth Hague Convention of 1907 and the Geneva Conventions of 1949.
11.4.1.1 Loizidou v. Turkey5
In the case of Loizidou v. Turkey, the applicant claimed to have lost part of the land belonging to her in Northern Cyprus. Loizidou alleged that, as a consequence of the ongoing occupation of the territory by the Turkish Army and the control the latter exercised over it, it was impossible for her to enter plots of land, thus constituting a violation of both her right to private and family life and her right to peacefully enjoy her property.6 In its defence, the Turkish Government denied responsibility, claiming that the events had taken place in the independent State of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, a territory over which it did not exercise jurisdiction in the sense meant by Article 1 of the Convention.7 The Court referred to the non-recognition of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus but what is interesting to note for the purposes of this study is that it clearly emphasised that Article 1 of the ECHR is not limited to the national territory of States. It thus rejected Turkey's arguments relating to the territorial nature of the Convention and attributed responsibility to the Turkish State.8
The Court determined that the State is responsible when, as a consequence of military action, be it legitimate or illegitimate, it exercises effective control (including outside of national territory). This criterion sufficed to attribute the acts in question to Turkey and find it responsible for violating the rights alleged.9 The same criterion could have also been used to claim that the acts in question were associated with Turkey's occupation of Cyprus. If, as the Court said, Turkey was carrying out a military action and exercised control, why did it not call it an occupation expressis verbis? One might think that the Court evaded classifying Northern Cyprus as an "occupied territory" in order to avoid referring to IHL.10
11.4.1.2 Varnava v. Turkey11
Of the cases covered in this study, the judgment in Varnava v. Turkey is the one that comes closest to IHL since, for the first time, the Court expressly referred to IHL as being an instrument with which the ECHR could be interpreted. Being one of the most recent judgments (2009), it may indicate a slight change in the position of the Strasbourg Court.
The case concerned the disappearance of nine people after they had been arrested by the Turkish Army during the military operation in Northern Cyprus in 1974. The region was expressly described by the Court as being in "a time of international armed conflict".12 The Court also said that Article 2 of the ECHR should be interpreted in light of international law, especially IHL. Without spelling it out, it makes (subliminal) reference to the complementarity between IHL and the ECHR.13
In particular, the Court based its reasoning on Article 2 of the Convention and from there arrived at IHL, an approach which marks a step forward in bringing the ECHR and IHL closer together. The Varnava case therefore represents a turning point in the direction of the Court's case law insofar as in the judgment it attempts to capture and bring together IHL standards, on the one hand, and, on the other, those established by the ECtHR itself concerning the positive obligation to investigate disappearances in light of Article 2 of the ECHR. It could have adhered to a more restrictive normative framework but it did not do so, thus perhaps implying an attempt to start employing a new interpretative framework for the ECHR.
11.4.2 The Exercise of Effective Control Over Part of a Foreign Territory
The notion of "State jurisdiction" as used in Article 1 of the ECHR is one of the most complex in treaty law and also one of the cornerstones of the ECHR as a whole. Since the beginning of the twenty-first century in particular, Article 1 of the Convention has prompted substantive developments in cases where one or several States are operating on foreign territory as multinational forces. Below are three significant cases in which the Court was faced with the question of the extraterritorial applicability of the ECHR.
11.4.2.1 Banković v. Belgium and Others14
The Banković case stemmed from a complaint brought by six inhabitants of Belgrade (Serbia) against seventeen NATO member States who are also members of the ECHR. The applicants alleged that the aerial bombardment of the headquarters of Serbian radio and television by NATO forces in April 1999 constituted a violation of the rights to life (16 people died) and freedom of expression by the defendant States. The application was based on the argument that the States involved had "jurisdiction" over the victims as a result of the criterion of "effective control",15 as had been determined in the Loizidou judgment. However, the arguments contained in the application did not convince the Court and it unanimously declared it inadmissible ratione personae, since it considered that there was no jurisdictional link between the victims and the defendant States. In the words of the Court, the territory in which the bombing took place was not in the "legal space" of the member States insofar as NATO did not exercise "effective control" over the territory that was bombed.16 The Court thus stressed the essentially territorial nature of State jurisdiction, with extraterritorial applicability of the Convention being acceptable only in exceptional circumstances, something which it underlined emphatically.17
The Court adopted a restrictive interpretation of effective control, showing extreme caution when applying the ECHR to the actions of a State outside of its territory. In Banković it interprets the notion of jurisdiction as being inextricably tied to territoriality. The criticisms made of the decision stem from this extremely restrictive interpretation (Rüth and Trilsch 2003 , pp. 170–171). However, Banković also represented the starting point for a debate around the following questions posed by Judge Jean Paul Costa: Can effective control really be deemed to exist when State troops are acting outside of their national territory? How does this relate to the concept of occupation contained in the 1907 Hague rules and the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949? Does the Court have "jurisdiction" to examine crimes committed by State air forces that are participating in peace operations (Costa and O'Boyle 2011 , pp. 107–129)? Having chosen not to enter into these issues, the Court "territorialized" the Convention's jurisdiction (Cohen-Jonathan 2002 , p. 1073) and consequently declared the application inadmissible.18
The curious thing about the Banković judgment, as far as this study is concerned, is that, in its reasoning, the Court used the 1949 Geneva Conventions to argue that if the drafters of the ECHR had wanted to grant jurisdiction that was as far-reaching as that proposed by the applicants, then they could have adopted a wording that was the same or similar to Article 1 of the 1949 Geneva Conventions, which requires the Contracting Parties to respect and ensure respect for the conventions "in all circumstances".19 It is paradoxical that reference to the 1949 Geneva Conventions is made only to say that the ECHR is not the same as them, given that it is a case that could have been interpreted on the basis of the principles related to the prohibition of indiscriminate attacks and the principle of distinction between combatants and civilians, for which both the ECHR and IHL are relevant.

Q: What was the name of this horror/science fiction story involving orcas/killer whales? I'm looking for a horror/science fiction story involving orcas/killer whales. It was written by someone who was either a marine biologist or someone who used to work with cetaceans, and in their author notes they actually interviewed people who used to work with orcas at Seaworld in order to get an idea of what orcas were like.
The plot of the story was that humanity finally cracks the communications barrier between humans and orcas, but to our horror instead of being a peaceloving society who was interested in sharing culture and knowledge between species, the orcas were a barbaric species rules by cruel matriarchs that practiced slavery. Even worse, rather than being horrified at how humans treated orcas in marine parks, the orca matriarchs applauded such behavior to humanity's collective horror, and even worked out an agreement where they sold enslaved baby orcas that they captured as prisoners of war (based on what the author noted is an IRL phenomenon where baby orcas have a tendency to mysteriously disappear and marine biologists don't know why). There was a subplot in the story where a human paid a marine park money in order to shoot a baby orca (who was shown from their point of view to be a child or have the mind of one).
Part of the reason the orca matriarchs did this was that humans had destroyed the populations of marine mammals they depended on for food, and the orcas sold baby orcas in exchange for the humans allowing them to eat those tasty, tasty PETA protesters and similar people. There was a part where members of a PETA-esque group and several New Agers or environmentalists were shipped out to a platform believing they were on an orca-viewing cruise, only for the platform to be dropped into the water and it was strongly implied the orcas ate them all. The overall horror element of the story was the subversion of the expectation that if we ever crack the species communication barrier other animals would be friendly and welcoming, when it could be that by our standards other species hold practices that we consider barbaric and cruel.
I remember this story was online somewhere. However, I can't find this story anywhere. When I look up orcas in horror and science-fiction I either get links to Blackfish or the 1977 horror movie Orca.

A: This sounds like "Bulk Food", a short story by Peter Watts and Laurie Channer, first published in On Spec in 1999. Watts indeed has a PhD in zoology, and worked at UBC's Marine Mammal Unit. The story is set in a near-future world in which humans have learned to communicate with killer whales, an event called "The Breakthrough".
The problem is that

Well, no one expected the whales to be such assholes... These days it's   kind  of   hard  to   rail  against  the  enslavement of orcas when every schoolkid knows that all orca society, Resident or Transient,is  based  on  slavery. Always  has   been. The matriarchs  aren't kindly nurturing  feminist  grandmas, they're   eight-ton black-and-white Mommie Dearests with really big teeth.

As the OP noted, this is not a story that is pleasant for PETA-members to read. It is available to read here under a Creative Commons License.

                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@gebaudeid", DBNull.Value);

            if (!StringExtensions.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(REGION_ID))
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Region_ID", REGION_ID);
            else
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Region_ID", DBNull.Value);

            using (SqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
            {
                while (rdr.Read())
                {
                    if (rdr["BEZEICHNUNG"] != DBNull.Value && rdr["ID"] != DBNull.Value)
                    {
                        strasseObject.Add(new RAUM()
                        {
                            RaumName = rdr["BEZEICHNUNG"].ToString(),
                            RaumID = rdr["ID"].ToString()

                        });
                    }
                }
            }

        }
    }
    return strasseObject;
}

A: If you already have the IDs in a comma-separated string (called IDstring) then you can just do  something like this:
sqlQuery = "SELECT Columns FROM table WHERE ID IN (" + IDstring + ")";

In your specific case, don't split the original string (GEBAEUDE_ID) but use it as it is:
   // Don't use a foreach loop any more
   string gebaudeIdSection = " AND GEBAEUDE_ID IN (" + GEBAEUDE_ID + ") ";
   if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(GEBAUDE_ID)) { gebaudeIdSection = ""; } // if there are no ids, let's remove that part of the query completely.
   using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=Localhost\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=BOOK-IT-V2;Integrated Security=true;"))
   using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(@"SELECT r.BEZEICHNUNG AS BEZEICHNUNG, r.ID AS ID FROM RAUM r WHERE RAUMKLASSE_ID = ISNULL(@Raumklasse_ID, RAUMKLASSE_ID) AND STADT_ID = ISNULL(@Stadt_ID, STADT_ID)" + gebaudeIdSection + " AND REGION_ID = ISNULL(@Region_ID, REGION_ID)", con))
   { // The rest of the code is the same as before...

A: try this:
if (!StringExtensions.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(gebaudeid))
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@gebaudeid", Convert.ToInt32(gebaudeid));

you should also pass the right parameter to your AddWithValue statement. You are iterating over the list of your ID's, that list being allegebaude. So you have to pass the gebaudeid parameter to your statement, instead of what you're doing now.

A: First of all I think you have to correct:
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@gebaudeid", GEBAEUDE_ID);

with:
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@gebaudeid", gebaudeid);

Then, try to convert the ids into integers ( for example, using Convert.ToInt32(gebaudeid) ) and not to pass them as strings in AddWithValue method.

A: You can't implicitly treat a comma separated list of values; instead you'll need to create a table values function to split the list of values into a table structure and then use this structure as you would normally.
Have a look at this question: INSERT INTO TABLE from comma separated varchar-list for a sample function.


Should I Eat Peanut Butter On A Raw Food Diet?
. In your opinion, is it okay to have a small portion occasionally?
The main problem with commercial peanut butter is that it's heated, and unhealthy additives like salt, processed sugar, oil, and various preservatives are almost always included.
If you want to eat healthy raw peanut butter, you're either going to have to find a place, like some health food stores, which makes its own locally, or you can make it yourself by simply dumping raw peanuts into a food processor and grinding up a batch.

The seller is confident that the car will prove to be a very competitive and rewarding Formula Junior exceeding the expectations of anyone who is interested in this class of historic motor racing.


Laser hair removal is a highly popular treatment for both men and women alike. After all, who wouldn't want to say goodbye to unwanted hair without ever shopping for a razor, scheduling a painful waxing appointment, or dealing with messy creams? If you're looking for a long-term solution for bothersome hair on the face or body, it may be time to think about laser hair removal.
Laser hair removal is a simple, non-surgical procedure that's done in-office in as little as 15-20 minutes. The virtually pain-free procedure typically has a high patient satisfaction rate thanks to the minimal downtime and long-lasting results.
Your certified practitioner will use a handheld device to deliver pulses of highly focused light directly to the hair follicle. The thermal energy targets and damages the pigmentation within the base of the follicle while leaving surrounding tissue completely unharmed. The follicle dies, and future hair regrowth is inhibited. You can begin to see hair fall out in approximately 1-3 weeks post-treatment.
Laser hair removal can only damage hair that is in its active growth stage. Although hair will appear thinner and less noticeable with just one treatment, you'll need to return for multiple follow-up appointments to see optimal results. In most cases, treatments are scheduled 4-6 weeks apart based on your hair's natural growth phase.
Absolutely Excellent!!! Dr Harris is the best I've ever used and his technique is so much better than anything I've had done in the past. No pain or discomfort at all, love his staff. I will be driving from Chattanooga to see him. Results are AMAZING!
Depending on your skin tone, hair color, and the area being treated you may require anywhere from 5 to 10 laser treatments to completely remove hair. In clinical trials, patients were able to get rid of approximately 80% of hair with a series of 6 laser hair removal sessions.
Image Surgical Arts offers various laser solutions for all skin tones and complexions. During your in-person consultation, your specialist will help assess the number of treatments you'll need to achieve your desired results. Treatment plans are customized based on your individual needs and goals.

Indoor air quality (IAQ) can have a major impact on your home or business, but many home and business owners are unfamiliar with what "IAQ" really means. IAQ can affect everything from the state of your health to the state of your home. Here is a quick guide to IAQ and how to improve it in your Auburn, Alabama home.
Indoor air quality is a way to look at the condition that your home's air is in. It can be affected by anything from pet dander to pollen to biological growth. Even if you pride yourself in keeping a clean home, you may find yourself dealing with indoor air quality issues from time to time. Your HVAC system is your strongest defense against poor indoor air quality but it can't do everything, especially if the system itself is facing issues.
Poor indoor air quality is most easily marked by allergy-like symptoms. If you have a family member with sensitive lungs, they may have difficulty breathing within the home or notice that their lung issues kick up more regularly than usual. You can also tell that there may be something wrong if your home feels stagnant, if there are high levels of humidity, or if there's debris built up around your vents. Very poor IAQ is typically easy to spot because of these common symptoms.
Ventilation is a good place to start when trying to fix your IAQ levels. Ventilation can help remove stagnant air from your home and replace it with fresh air, which helps reduce the amount of debris or allergens built up in your air, as well as helping to reduce humidity levels. If your air is still humid, even with proper ventilation, a dehumidifier can help further improve your indoor air quality.
Ventilation systems should be run in any room that is regularly exposed to humidity, like bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens. This can keep humidity levels in check as well as prevent buildup from occurring.
While a normal cleaning is often enough to keep indoor air quality high, if you have pets or if it's a particularly strong pollen season, a regular deep clean can help you keep your IAQ at a good level. Consider washing fabric items like curtains or pillows that are often overlooked. Tops of cabinets and other hard-to-reach places should be cleaned out. Besides just vacuuming, you should mop hard floors to help pick up any residual dust. If you have carpet, you may want to consider using a steam cleaner to really get into the fibers and remove any irritants.
After cleaning, air purifiers can help keep the dust and debris levels down and help prevent that build up from occurring again. Air purifiers help trap particles, removing them from the air before they can settle on your furniture.
Ductwork is how your air gets to your home and if your ducts are filled with dust and dirt, your air quality will suffer accordingly. Having your ducts cleaned by a professional can lead to better air quality as well as improved HVAC functionality, as the system doesn't have work to push the air through the debris. You'll notice dust around your vents if your ductworks really need to be cleaned.
Keeping your HVAC system in good shape is vital for good indoor air quality. Some maintenance can be done by yourself, and doing so may provide an easy fix to improving air quality as well as HVAC functionality. For example, the filter for your system needs to be changed out regularly, at least every few months. These filters can get clogged with debris which can lead to particles escaping through into your air flow as well as put extra strain on your HVAC system.
The entire system should be regularly checked out by an HVAC professional to check on wear and tear, which can similarly affect your indoor air quality. They can also assess to see if you need your ductwork cleaned.
If you're concerned about your home's indoor air quality, the experts at Indoor Solutions can help. Give us a call at 706-225-8241 to set up a consultation today!


Tomato pie with a biscuit crust.
I was given a bunch of tomatoes and finally was able to try a tomato pie. This may sound weird to some of you but I have never had one. I have been missing out, but no longer and here is the recipe I found with a little tweaking. It was a hit. And I am going to make another one to put into the freezer for this winter. I will let you know how that turns out.
Original recipe from www.Yummly.com the name they have is Tomato Pie with Jalapeños and Bacon. We ate most of the pie before I remembered to take a picture.
Meanwhile, to make the crust, stir together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pepper. Cut into the flour the chilled butter, until the flour has a crumbly, pea-like texture. Stir in the buttermilk and mix until well combined. On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and roll it out into it's about an 11-inch circle.
To fill the pie, ( I put a light layer of mustard on the bottom then) sprinkle half of the cheese along the bottom of the crust. Layer in the tomatoes, garlic, jalapeño slices and bacon, topping with the remaining cheese.
Glad you enjoyed the tomatoes. I still have lots coming so we are going to give your recipe a try.

American Monotheisms in Crisis
Protest and Resistance in the Trump Era
by Kwok Pui Lan, Emory University
I was in Greece when Donald Trump was elected president on November 8, 2016. I was there on a research trip and had just visited the Acropolis, the Agora, and several magnificent museums several days before that date. The fact that I was in Athens, the cradle of Western democracy, prompted me to think about the relationship between the struggle for democracy and empire. As a postcolonial theologian deeply interested in the relationship between religion, power, and empire, Trump's election and his administration's policies on border security—particularly the Muslim ban—and on healthcare, DACA, and tax reform demand serious theological reflection and acts of resistance.
For some, especially those in the Chinese media, the election of Trump showcases the dysfunction of democracy and the unreliability of populism. But seeing Trump's election as an aberration is to miss the signs of our time. His slogan "Make America Great Again" appeals to the imperial impulse of many American people, especially working-class white men who perceive that they have lost much power. Trump enjoys the support of the Christian Right. Eighty percent of white evangelicals voted for him. Many of us might think that the Christian Right misinterprets the Gospel of Jesus Christ, who was himself a political prisoner under the Roman Empire. But we cannot forget the church's historical complicity with empire and the lingering impact of Constantinian Christianity that has justified violence, colonialism, racism, war, and genocide in the past and in the present.
In Trump's era of alt-truth and alt-reality, the vocation of an intellectual and a theologian is to speak truth to power. Inspired by the example of the Barmen Declaration during the rise of Nazism, a group of theologians issued the Boston Declaration, calling upon Christians to follow the Jesus way and condemn the false ideologies of empire building, as well as the myths of racism, Islamophobia, and American exceptionalism. It exhorts us to dismantle the legacy of white supremacy and to stand in solidarity with the vulnerable among us.
In mid-November of 2017, the College of the Holy Cross hosted a conference titled "Religion, Protest, and Social Upheaval," which brought together a diverse group of scholars from across national and religious divides to examine the impact of religion on social and political movements. Organized around six themes—nationalism, immigration, race, gender, ecology, and economics—the conference aimed to illuminate the complex dynamics of religion in protest and social upheaval. The discussion at the conference had important insights for teaching and research for resistance in the Trump era. I would like to share some of the highlights. First, we have to engage in theological malpractice. In medicine, malpractice means that medical professionals may not have followed established protocols, and their negligence and failure to care for the patient lead to personal injury or wrongful deaths, but J. Kameron Carter gives malpractice a twist and a totally new definition. He discusses black malpractice in the context of anti-slavery movements and the civil rights movement. Malpractice means the refusal to follow established procedures and orders of things. Theological malpractice means the refusal to follow traditional ways of teaching theology, which separate doctrine from context, theory from practice, and the theological from the political. Malpractice implies "other" practices of teaching theology, practices that question and subvert the status quo and decolonize the mind. In this way, malpractice is internally generative and always points to the theological surplus or excess that cannot be contained or policed by traditional ways of conceptualizing and teaching theology. In the case of black malpractice, theologians must disengage from theologies that support white supremacy and teach black sacred practices.
Second, we have to double our effort to research and teach counter-mythologies. Empires always want to imagine that they are omnipotent, constantly expanding, and totalizing. In fact, empires are full of internal contradictions and are threatened by external competition. Our neoliberal economy proclaims that it has no centers and no borders and that there is no alternative. Adam Smith calls the market the invisible hand of God. But Devin Singh points out that these pretentious claims, in fact, are simply attempts to mask the fragility and contradictions of the unstable system. Theologians must unmask, debunk, and demystify mythologies that have been generated to support the unsustainable system. In his 2017 presidential address at the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Religion, Eddie Glaude asked us to reflect on how and for what purposes "frames of acceptance" and "symbols of authority" have been maintained.
In our era, we have to pay serious attention to how imperial power has been associated with divine power in our theologies, religious practices, and liturgies, both in the past and in the present. Learning from Foucault, we need to ask, "Is there something in Christianity that is productive and contributive to the discourse of imperial power?" When we say in the Lord's Prayer, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done" and when we sing "King of Kings and Lord of Lords" in the Hallelujah Chorus of Handel's Messiah, what kind of images do we have for God? What if the Christian ethos inculcates a certain attitude toward authority and power? We must criticize the association of God with images of the sovereign in our political theology. This anti-democratic theopolitical imaginary has shaped political philosophy and theological doctrines, and it has provided justification for hierarchical practices of the church. But it is not enough to critique imperial and colonial mythologies without providing alternative imaginaries of the sacred. Such imaginaries often come from protest movements and what J. Kameron Carter calls "deviant sociality." For example, during the Occupy Movement, protesters occupied public spaces and practiced direct democracy in decision-making. The movement generated images and slogans that denounced corporate greed and anticipated alternative forms of community. It pointed to the immanence of sacred power that was in us and among us.
Third, we have to be vigilant of how Trumpian ideology is reshaping the world. The Muslim ban, the withdrawal of the United States from trade treaties and from the Paris Climate Agreement, and the escalating tension with North Korea have global consequences. Trump visited Asia in his first foreign trip as president and wanted to influence the realignment of power in that region. As a theologian of Chinese descent, I am keenly aware that the relationship between China and United States will determine the politics of the twenty-first century. We need to pay attention to how President Xi Jinping's "China Dream" is competing with Trump's desire to "make America great again." Thus, we need a new political theology that goes beyond its Eurocentric roots to address the political and economic rise of the Asia Pacific, and especially the emergence of China as a global power. To this end, we cannot simply focus on European and American empires, without paying attention to the formation and logics of other empires. Books such as Empires of the Silk Road and Legacies of Empire: Imperial Roots of the Contemporary Global Order are invaluable resources. Within the fields of theology and philosophy, Enrique Dussel's Politics of Liberation: A Critical World History provide an alternative periodization and history of the world, which does not place Europe at the center.
Fourth, we have to attend to the ways in which protest and resistance create and form political beings. During the conference at College of the Holy Cross, we discussed the protests that brought the downfall of South Korean President Park Geun-hye. Leading up to her impeachment, thousands of Korean protesters took to the streets in Seoul every weekend for several months. They organized rituals, sang songs, shouted slogans, and broadcast videos to create a protest culture. These political performances shaped the political views and formed new coalitions among protesters. For example, a group of queer protesters got to know some of the masculinist union leaders and began sharing protest strategies and tactics with one another. Protest and prophetic witness for justice require training and a cultural and religious ethos that encourages people to do so. As theological educators, we need to reflect on whether the rituals in churches, our pedagogies in the classroom, contextual education, and community activities form a habitus for producing docile political subjects or for stimulating a culture of resistance and the formation of new political beings.
The challenges to theological education include not only financial shortfall, but also declining enrollment of students. Mainline churches have failed to capture the imagination of the "nones," especially millennials who are committed to social justice but not interested in organized religion. For many of them, the church is outdated and conservative. How can theological education contribute to the formation of a new ecclesial culture, provide a space for critical inquiry for the "nones," and form new political beings?
If 2040 will be a time when there will not be a racial majority in the nation, we need to begin thinking about building infrastructures so that racial and ethnic minorities will share increasing leadership in the church and society. We have to facilitate dialogue across differences of race, class, gender, sexuality, and culture. Increasingly, I see my role as a theological educator to be teaching students how to build inclusive communities and coalitions so that they will be prepared for a changing America, and prepared to serve as global leaders in the future. We are teaching in a challenging time, but it is also an exciting time, with open possibilities of new visions and practices.

Europiella artemisiae ist eine Wanzenart aus der Familie der Weichwanzen (Miridae).

Merkmale
Die Wanzen werden 2,7 bis 3,4 Millimeter lang. Die Arten der Gattung Europiella sind kleine, blass braun-grau gefärbte und mit blassen Haaren versehene Weichwanzen. Die Basis des Cuneus der Hemielytren ist blass und die Sporne der Schienen (Tibien) entspringen aus schwarzen Punkten. Man kann sie von den ähnlichen Arten der Gattung Psallus durch ihr schwarzes erstes Fühlerglied unterscheiden. Man kann die Art von Europiella decolor morphologisch nicht sicher abgrenzen, diese ähnliche Art ist jedoch in der Regel blasser gefärbt als Europiella artemisiae. Die Grundfarbe der Tiere variiert von grau-weiß bis nahezu schwarz.

Vorkommen und Lebensraum
Die Art ist fast in der gesamten Paläarktis von Europa bis Japan und auch in Nordamerika verbreitet. In Deutschland und Österreich ist sie weit verbreitet und häufig und kann stellenweise sogar sehr häufig sein. Besiedelt werden trockene bis leicht feuchte, offene Lebensräume.

Lebensweise
Die Wanzen leben an Artemisia-Arten, insbesondere auf Beifuß (Artemisia vulgaris), Feld-Beifuß (Artemisia campestris), Wermutkraut (Artemisia absinthium) und Strand-Beifuß (Artemisia maritima). Sie saugen sowohl an den unreifen Reproduktionsorganen, als auch an den vegetativen Teilen der Pflanzen. Pro Jahr treten zwei Generationen auf. Die Adulten der ersten treten ab Anfang Juni, die der zweiten von Ende Juli bis Anfang August auf und können bis in den Oktober beobachtet werden.

Fleet operators have voted BMW Manufacturer of the Year for the sixth time in a row - and when you consider that the brand offers cost-effective fleet favourites including the 1-series hatchback, the evergreen 3-series range, and the 5-series saloon, Gran Turismo and estate to name just a few, it's hardly surprising.
Where the German company differs from its rivals is in how it offers not only economical petrol, diesel and now several plug-in hybrid models, but also has a dedicated electric car in the shape of the i3, which manages to be highly desirable in its own right while boasting green credentials and low running costs.
However, BMW hasn't rested on its laurels over the past year: it has updated the 1-series with more efficient engines and sleeker styling; it has facelifted the best-selling 3-series and introduced frugal 320d ED models that sneak below the 100g/km mark in automatic form to ensure benefit-in-kind rates as low as 17%; and it has introduced the new X1, now available in fleet-friendly 18d sDrive form, with economy of 68.9mpg and CO2 emissions as low as 109g/km.
Another addition is the seven-seater 2-series Gran Tourer. It joins the five-seat Active Tourer in being a more family-friendly BMW offering. The manufacturer has launched a new, more efficient 7-series luxury saloon too, which boasts economy as high as 60.1mpg - an impressive feat for a car of this size (there's also a plug-in hybrid that emits 49g/km).
All this in addition to making satnav standard across the range in 2015. BMW has also kept tabs on customer satisfaction with its Five Star programme that seeks feedback from customers after every dealer interaction. It asks users to rate their experience out of five, logging the resulting ratings on retailers' websites. With the BMW Group chalking up record sales in 2015, the next 12 months look set to be equally productive.

Spotify Acquires Podcasting Platform Whooshkaa
Spotify has bought Whooshkaa, an Australian podcasting platform that helps creators to host, distribute and monetize podcasts.
Spotify may already be the world's most popular audio streaming service, but recently, the company has been making moves to expand beyond music streaming and venture further into podcast-style content.
In November, Spotify acquired Megaphone, a leading podcast advertising and publishing platform. Currently, nearly one in five Spotify advertisers participate in the podcasting marketplace, the company said in its announcement.
Using Whooshkaa, Spotify says that broadcasters will have a simple way to turn their existing audio content into podcast content. The company plans to integrate Whooshkaa into Megaphone to provide publishers worldwide with new technology to grow their podcasts.
"If you think over the next 10 years for certain, what's now radio is going to collapse and move from a linear space to an on-demand space," Spotify CEO Daniel Ek told The Verge earlier this year while discussing the company's podcast strategy.
"That's where I think we're in this race to try to get as many people as possible to convert into streaming on demand and hopefully choose Spotify as their preferred platform."
