  • Transboundary Damage in International Law
    This page intentionally left blank Transboundary Damage in International Law The Chernobyl disaster, the Amoco Cadiz oil spill and the Colorado River dispute are examples of an activity conducted by one State which has serious adverse effects in the territory of another, or in global common areas. This book details the international rules and compensation procedures, and is intended for use by governmental officials, international lawyers and jurists. It discusses existing laws on international liability and considers the underlying legal issues that require further development. It is one of the few books on the subject written from the perspective of a developing country with rapid economic and social development. xue hanqin is Director-General of the Law and Treaty Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • Lenin, (Just) Wars of National Liberation, and the Soviet Doctrine on the Use of Force
    Journal of the history of International Law 19 (2017) 219–245 JHIL brill.com/jhil Lenin, (Just) Wars of National Liberation, and the Soviet Doctrine on the Use of Force Johannes Socher* Research Associate, German Research Institute for Public Administration Berlin, Germany [email protected] Abstract Today, the prohibition of the use of force is universally accepted as a norm of custom- ary international law. Nevertheless, several exceptions are discussed in international law scholarship. One of them, wars of national liberation, originates in Lenin’s socialist war theory and was subsequently maintained by the former Soviet doctrine of inter- national law. Little known in western academia, this Soviet argument of national lib- eration struggles to be ‘just wars’ is still alive in Russian international law scholarship today, and, therefore, a lasting legacy of Lenin’s theory of wars of national liberation in international legal discourse as developed around the time of the Russian Revolution (even if sometimes ignored) may be conceded. Keywords Lenin – wars of national liberation – Soviet doctrine of international law – use of force, prohibition of – just war theory * Where English translations of Russian works were not available, German translations are cited instead and used as intermediates. These, as well as all ‘direct’ translations from German and Russian into English are the author’s. I would like to thank Bill Bowring, Lauri Mälksoo, and Marija Peran for providing equally helpful comments. My gratitude also goes to Bruno Simma for discussing the topic with me and reading an earlier draft of this article. Any mistakes or inaccuracies are, of course, solely my own.

  • Sadness with a Dash of Beats: an Interview with Emika
    Sadness With A Dash Of Beats: An Interview With Emika In a world which celebrates uniformity and mediocrity it is refreshing to find someone actively striving to create something interesting and new. In art, moulds are meant to be broken and stereotypes cast to the ground. One artist who understands this is Berlin resident Emika. Born Ema Jolly, and raised in Milton Keynes, Emika has utilized her classical training in piano and composition to form the foundation for a body of work which has taken in pop, classical, electronica, ambient and more. Never one to settle for the status quo, her music could resemble the gothic pop of Fever Ray one minute, the futuristic electro of Drexciya the next. By JOHN BITTLES Sadness With A Dash Of Beats: An Interview With Emika I first came across Emika’s music back in 2011 with her wonderful self-titled debut LP which evoked a post- everything world of noir pop and fractured R&B. Since then the artist has gone on to furrow her own singular, yet eclectic path. Amongst a succession of stirring releases, we have had the hazy techno pop brilliance of DVA, gorgeous piano ballads (Klavirni), 80s style synth pop (Drei), orchestra led melancholy (Melanfonie) and lots more. Late last year saw the release of Falling In Love With Sadness, an honest, revelatory record which spoke as much to the brain as the heart. Released on World Mental Health Day the album was full of moments of sonic wonder and was one of 2018’s overlooked gems. Last month Emika led a project to revisit the songs from Falling In Love With Sadness with a thoughtful and accomplished remixes EP.

Rein Müllerson. Dawn of a New Order: Geopolitics and the Clash of Ideologies. London: I.B. Tauris, 2017. Pp. 277. ISBN 978-1-78453-972-6. Abstract In this review essay, two recent books, one analysing the question of the Russian annexa- tion of Crimea in 2014 directly and the other in the context of changing geopolitics and world order, are discussed. Parallels with war pamphlets in the 18th century, authored by Olaus Hermelin and Petr Shafirov in the context of the Great Nordic War, are drawn. Rein Müllerson’s suggestion that the world should return to balance-of-power politics in the con- text of international law is rejected. 1 Introduction In March 2019, it was five years since the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, probably the most challenging event for the foundations of interna- tional law in the last decade. On some level, the legal position is relatively simple and straightforward: the majority of the international community has called upon states not to recognize changes in the status of the Crimea region.

  • WORD! CONFERENCE the WIRELESS Hifi SYSTEM FILL YOUR HOME with MUSIC
    DAS PROGRAMM / THE PROGRAM WORD! CONFERENCE WORD! THE WIRELESS HiFi SYSTEM FILL YOUR HOME WITH MUSIC EDITORIAL BERLIN MUSIC WEEK BERLIN MUSIC WEEK, 3.–7. SEPT. 2014 Dear guests, Welcome to the 5th Berlin Music Week! We’re looking forward to sharing with you this new and constantly evolving event, which has become an indispensable part of the Berlin music scene. We would like to thank you for wanting to be part of it and for taking an interest in our work, which has been made possible by our fantastic team within Germany and abroad. We can guarantee that you won’t just have a huge amount of fun, you’re sure to also take away lasting impressions and inspiration for your future work. In the true spirit of this city, we’ve taken the soundtrack of the movie “everything was better in the old days” and tossed it in the bin. Instead, we set out to look for – forgive the megalomania, it’s part of it all – the future of music. We found what we were looking for in the hundreds of artists who applied for the Berlin Music Week. They will be hitting our stages at the award shows, the showcase festival First We Take Berlin, and the Berlin Fes- tival, as well as on trucks, rooftops or in the streets for the new First We Take the Streets. We also found the future of music in another kind of band –the startup companies that are bringing change and innovation to the music industry, opening up new possibilities.

  • BRANDT BRAUER FRICK Foxtel Festival Hub
    Germany // Music Australian Premiere BRANDT BRAUER FRICK Foxtel Festival Hub Expertly programmed, sumptuously arranged and performed with virtuosity, the genre-bending sonic perfection of Brandt Brauer Frick will be heard live in Australia for the very first time at this year’s Foxtel Festival Hub. “Groups of clever Germans in suits are sadly lacking For most of its history, dance music has been dedicated to replacing in today's pop climate. Step forward BBFE…” – The the acoustic with the electronic—but Germany’s Brandt Brauer Guardian, UK Frick turn the formula on its head. This classically trained trio take the rolling grooves of Chicago house Foxtel Festival HuB and minimal techno and transform them into jazz influenced synth- and-string rhythmic assaults that hover somewhere between Berlin Saturday 17 OctoBer nightclub, chamber ensemble and the subcutaneous atmospherics Doors at 11pm of a John Carpenter film. $45 Transaction fees may apply Academy grad Daniel Brandt got started in electronic music after playing the drums in several jazz, rock and pop bands, as well as www.festival.melbourne classical orchestras. With his close friend Jan Brauer, he started the Ticketmaster 136 100 duo Scott, who made it look easy to produce deep jazz-influenced club tunes for forward-thinking dancefloors. But it was when they #melbfest met modern classical composer Paul Frick that really sparked their imagination, and in 2008 the three of them started the exploratory trio. Building on a basis of live acoustic instruments and electronic sounds, they create their own kind of acoustic techno. Prepared piano, vibraphone, synths, rhodes, drum kits and bass guitars are all mixed to walk the fine line between club and concert hall.
