The Avenging Conscience was also one of the first screen adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe. There had been about a dozen adaptations of Poe works since 1908 but all of these were short works and this was the first full-length adaptation. D.W. Griffith has concocted a plot that has wound together three different Poe works the short stories The Black Cat (1843) and The Tell-Tale Heart (1843) and the poem Annabel Lee (1849). Griffith also has the narrator read some of The Tell-Tale Heart and includes a picture of Poe himself at one point. This results in a somewhat ungainly work. Certainly, it never much resembles a traditional Poe film, especially when you compare it to the Roger Corman films of the 1960s see The House of Usher (1960) which identified Poe with a brooding Gothicism.
Griffith gives us a modern story at least modern by 1910s standards and there is little to it that we would recognise as a horror film (not that the horror film existed as a genre back in 1914). Indeed, you get the impression that Griffith has conceived The Avenging Conscience more as a Christian morality play the film, for instance, is not too subtly subtitled after one of the Ten Commandments thou shalt not kill. Griffith himself was a Methodist and themes of Christian morality feature in many of his films. Poes stories dealt with guilt and torment but you could never say they came from a Christian perspective and there is not, as far as I am aware, any Christian iconography or elements that play throughout any of them. However, what we get here is Poe served up as a rather dull drama about one man wracked by pangs of conscience. We see Henry B. Walthall having visions of Christ hanging on The Cross, God holding up stone tablets emblazoned thou shalt not kill, demonic figures with human bodies, animal hooves and heads dancing, the nephew tied to a chair and tormented by a skeleton, all of which seem a long stretch from Poe. Griffith was making his film before the era of The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1919), which introduced subjective depiction and surrealism to cinema and you suspect if The Avenging Conscience had been made a few years later it might have been a very different film. The film also climaxes on the it was all a dream ending that was popular in the era, well before such became a cliche.
Certainly, D.W. Griffith demonstrates a great deal of assurance and craftsmanship as a filmmaker. If you consider that only a decade earlier, cinema was dominated by Georges Melies and his simple trick effects and single-camera placement set-ups, Griffith has matured considerably beyond this in the space of a decade, discovering things such as editing and the use of actors. In other words, Griffith took cinema more towards what we know in the modern sense brought out storytelling, used the cinematic palette to evoke emotion and show actors performing. Characters, for instance, had little relevance in the films of Melies and his imitators indeed, before 1910, actors featured so little that the players in a film were not even credited on screen.
For all that, The Avenging Conscience plays out as rather slow and long-winded today. There are some mild horror elements the ghost of the murdered uncle appearing out of the fireplace to haunt Henry B. Walthall, the aforementioned dream sequences. The romance never much comes to life certainly, Blanche Sweet seems far too frumpy and giggly to be Poes melancholy apotheosis of impossible love.

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton successfully improved her standings in the polls following her party's convention, according to a new poll from CNN.
The poll shows that Clinton's support jumped seven points after the convention. Fifty two percent of registered voters in the poll now support the Clinton-Kaine ticket, up from 45 percent a week earlier.
Trump is beginning to fade after experiencing his own bounce in the polls after the Republican convention. The Trump-Pence ticket is polling at 43 percent — down from 48 percent in an earlier poll.
National polls do not predict the future of the election, but are useful in understanding whether a candidate's message is resonating with the American people. It appears that Clinton has gained ground after seizing the nomination and working to rally Democrats behind her.
Trump's unfavorable numbers have jumped nine points from a week ago, now at sixty one percent up from 52 percent.
Sixty-seven percent say Clinton has the experience to be president but 64 percent still believe that she is not honest and trustworthy.
But only 31 percent of voters believe that Trump has the right experience to be president while 64 percent believe Trump is not honest and trustworthy.
The poll shows that Clinton is now leading Trump on issues like the economy, immigration, foreign policy, the Supreme Court, trade, health care, race relations, ISIS, criminal justice, and violence against police officers.
Trump is tied with Clinton on who is best suited to handle terrorism and leads Clinton on the issue of guns.

President Barack Obama's foreign policy in the Middle East is a failure, but he is responsible for at least one accidental success: bringing Israel and Saudi Arabia, once implacable foes, together in opposition to his agenda. On Thursday, Israel's Dore Gold, the incoming director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, appeared in Washington, DC at the Council on Foreign Relations alongisde Anwar Majed Eshki, a former adviser to the Saudi ambassador to the U.S., and revealed secret Israeli-Saudi talks on Iran.
As Bloomberg's Eli Lake reported: "Since the beginning of 2014, representatives from Israel and Saudi Arabia have had five secret meetings to discuss a common foe, Iran….The five bilateral meetings over the last 17 months occurred in India, Italy and the Czech Republic." Both Israel and Saudi Arabia consider the rise of a nuclear Iran to be the most important strategic threat to the region. A poll released Thursday shows that Saudis consider Iran and ISIS to be greater enemies than Israel.
The Obama administration has not only ignored Israeli and Saudi protests against the direction of talks over Iran's nuclear program, but it has also sought to boost Iranian regional power in a "new equilibrium" that sets up the Tehran regime as a counterweight to Sunni powers and Israel. That has convinced Israel and Saudi Arabia to begin a quiet thaw, even though the two have no formal diplomatic relations, and Saudi Arabia officially refuses to recognize Israel's right to exist.
The enmity runs deep. In 2003, Lake notes, Gold himself wrote a book called Hatred's Kingdom: How Saudi Arabia Supports the New Global Terrorism. The book highlighted Saudi Arabia's support for Palestinian terror groups. Now the Saudis have more pressing concerns.
The unveiling of the Israeli-Saudi talks just weeks before the June 30 deadline for the Iran deal sends a clear signal to Obama that U.S. allies in the region are prepared to take matters into their own hands.

Jeremy Scott's highly anticipated S/S 09 "Let Them Eat Gas" collection has finally been launched on Las Vegas' finest, FRUITION!
This is not the first time M.I.S.S.'s favourite Jeremy Scott has come together with FRUITION to launch his wild, fun and tongue-in-cheek collections! The last taste of Scott on FRUITION being his $15 pin badges made of scrap materials from previous collections (and a couple from this s/s 09 one!), which dropped in early March. If you go now you may still have a chance of catching some before they are all sold, click here!
Hit up FRUITION and prepare to salivate over all the Jeremy Scott "Let Them Eat Gas" goods, I sure did! Jeremy Scott has come through with his 'A' game once again with the S/S 09 collection. With inspirations deriving from the French Revolution fused with the flare of the 80s, this is most definitely a unique and jaw-dropping collection. My love of leggings and floral prints has made Scott's 'Floral Flights' leggings a personal favourite! A pretty special and aesthetically beautiful piece from the collection is the 'Hoody in Bloom' zip jacket, which is also available on FRUITION. The delicate 3-D pleats and curve details on the sleeves are used to resemble a blooming rose which makes this one hell of a stand out jacket!
You better start gathering all your pretty pennies together before you even hit the FRUITION site! I can guarantee that your fingers will be tempted to click "Buy Now" on the Jeremy Scott pieces before you can even say "Let Me Eat the Damn GAS!"

Our busy little monkey is getting closer to walking all the time, although she has to be SURE she can do something before she tries. I am learning this more and more about her personality, which is funny because both mine and Tom's parents said the same things about us as kids. I was extremely shy and self conscious as a child and Tom was cautious and a bit stubborn... some qualities we are learning might show up in Nora!
She will walk holding onto just one of our hands until she realizes it and then stops dead in her tracks screeching for the other hand. She is happy if we give it to her, and if not, she sits down. She does the same thing with her stroller walker. She will happily push it on her own with us near by until she realizes no one is helping and then she refuses to touch the thing!
However, she is pulling up and cruising on furniture like a maniac! She can even pull up to Nana's full sized piano, stand on her tippy toes and play a few keys!
She has also figured out the word "funny" and whenever anyone says it, she laughs with this fake little laugh. I'll be talking on the phone and telling someone "It was so funny when..." and then I look over and she is laughing. Or anytime I say to her "is that funny?!" she will do it.
|First time colouring!
She loves to "help" me in any way and she knows the words "help Mommy"-- when I say "come help Mommy," she scoots right over and waits for her instructions. She pretends to dump soap out of the bottle in the bath and then rubs herself as if she is washing. I give her a little bit of lotion after her bath and say "help rub it in!" and she rubs her hands all over her tummy and arms.
She has started one thing that is kind of frustrating, but probably more so for her. I know it is due to the fact that she wants to communicate so much more than she has the language for-- whenever she wants something or is trying to tell me something, she screeches at the top of her lungs repeatedly over and over! If I am the least bit impatient, or in the middle of something it can be annoying! But then I think about how annoying it is for her to want to tell me something and not be able to!
We went on a little whirlwind trip to my cousin's wedding in Saskatoon this weekend. Mr. Tweeds couldn't make it due to work, but Mama Tweedle, Nana Tweedle and Nora and I had a visit with some of our cousins and enjoyed a lovely wedding, too! As usual, Nora was a great little traveller and entertained the whole airport with her scooting!

Government launches inquiry over sexualised marketing to children(135 Posts)
We're pleased to hear today's news about the government launching an independent inquiry into the sexualised marketing of products to children, particularly because of our Let Girls Be Girls campaign. Here's the story.
I saw this on the news last night and felt very proud of Mumsnet (and slightly huffy that the woman interviewed was from Mothers Union) but we all want the same thing so WELL DONE MUMSNET!!
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Awesome news. Here's hoping it is successful.

Precocious is not simply in the mind of the male beholder. A 12 year-old girl (or boy for that matter) can develop early, both physically and mentally. Some 12 year-olds today can pass for 16 or 17 physically. Doesn't mean they are sexually mature.

The ambiguity of image & perception is the whole point of the Lolita story. It's also - to bring it back to the original subject of the thread - why we have to be very careful, as parents, how we dress and present our children to avoid making them more vulnerable.
I do wonder how far this will go, Juliet from Romeo and Juliet wasn't even 14, do we stop children reading the play at school?
This is fantastic news and long overdue. If only we could do something about the pop videos....
I'm sorry BadgersPaw, I don't understand how stopping manufacturers selling 'Future Porn Star' t-shirts is likely to lead to banning R&J. Can you explain your thinking?
I agree with you hellobob.
Dh's reaction to the news was, "Well it won't make much difference while ds [10] chooses to watch the Music channels on Freeview"
The videos on that are almost all highly sexualised, yet what are we as parents supposed to do? Tell our children that they are not supposed to be interested in the Music Charts?
We compormosie and try to have senisble discussions with him about how it is wrong to overly sexualise (in particular) women's bodies (not quite in those words ) - but it is very that we are having to have such heavy discussions with a pre-teen
My thinking is that I'm wondering how far any proposed law will go.
Don't get me wrong selling such T-Shirts to our young daughters is an awful thing. There is clearly a problem there, something's not right when that sort of thing goes on.
But when you start to hear talk about wider issues such as marketing and the influence of pop videos I wonder what else some pressure groups want to do.
We've already seen some of the loons come out of the woodwork over the recent calls for the Internet to be made 18+. So I wonder who else will push to be a part of this study and will want to twist it's objectives and results.

"BP, you can't worry about extremes"
I think that you have to.
If some law comes in banning the sale of "Sexualised Products" to children then who decides what falls into that category. Sometimes it's so obvious that you wonder what was going through the heads of those who came up with the idea, such as you say about marketing Playboy. However what about other things that might be less clear?
The whole Internet thing showed an MP, Claire Perry, who was happy to boost her career while working with people who think that sex education is a bad thing.
So I think it is right to worry that what is a good idea is going to be hijacked by those who have an agenda of their own.
<high 5>
@LeninGrad... Lolita is a controversial fictional novel with plenty of ambiguity and confusion set within the themes of forbidden sexual desire. It's not a case study on paedophilia. Whilst fault is always with abusers, if we don't think wearing certain clothes or early sexualisation messages increase the vulnerability of children, why do we find the trend so disturbing?
Having said that, I am against the banning of products for similar reasons to BadgersPaws. I think there is a huge range of what is regarded as acceptable, too many grey areas, and we should be very wary that we are not bullied into narrow definitions and blanket bans. I remember reading on MN a thread about a pair of children's boots that were castigated as being 'Like a hooker would wear!!!!' Expecting to see something totally outrageous the photo-link showed something 'dressy' but quite modest.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Sex sells and that is the problem. I was shocked when I looked at my 14 year olds facebook page and the she had a page of 'likes' she was looking at and I would say 70% of them were of a sexual nature, positions etc,. She has the freeview video music channel on most of the time and I do make comments to her about the women on there and their lack of clothing (I try to make a joke of it!)but it is rammed down their throats 24/7. It drives me mad. I don't let her wear provocative clothing and thankfully she is not into looking like Jordan or that other one, Jodie Marsh, thank god!
This really is a non idea. If you do not like the clothes, do not buy them, they will not stock clothes that do not sell.
This has taken a long time to come around. I thought they were doing this when those dreadful dolls Bratz first came out. More like slutz, I thought and would never think about getting them for a relatives children on principal.
Same with the dreadful videos. If you want your children to watch videos that are more like soft porn than a promotion of music and most are just plain degrading to women, then more fool you.
Well, I have banned the music channels. Refusing to have them on and explaining why sends the best message of all, imo.
don't like the clothes don't buy them is great! would be wonderful if there weren't parents out there who think it's ok - nah, really really cool innit - to dress their baby daughter in playboy bunny logoed clothes and tshirts that say future porn star, or a tshirt with nipple tassles on (yes, really)
I'm a tits man
I'm living proof my mum is easy
little pink knickers with the words "dive in" on them
padded bras for 5 yr olds
shall I continue?
I'm with BadgerPaws: campaigns like this are very vulnerable to hijacking by awful people woman-hating arseholes, superstition-peddlers and pro-abstinence campaigners. NONE of whom are good influences on DC.
Sex is, don't forget, nice. It's not inherently something to flee from or be scared of.
I'm not wild about 'porn star' t-shirts for todlers myself, but opposition to such things (which are not, after all, bought by many people to actually dress DC in, except for the occasional wind-up) is attractive to the dysfunctional nuts who would rather see women covered from head to foot and all mention of sex prohibited.
It is nice - I think. Not sure I can remember that far back
It's also not for children to be thrown into the middle of.
Teach them about it, explain about relationships, yes. Don't make them ashamed, of course. Discuss it all at age and understanding appropriate levels. That's all vital.
But it's just not right to sexualise them. And it's important, I think, to let people know that's what it is.
I don't think that parents dress their girls like hookers thinking that they are sexualising them, but that's what they're doing. So a campaign to get people thinking is good, surely? To make people pause before buying that tshirt with the nipple tassles, or the knickers with "dive in" on them?
I mean <judgypants alert> I have to wonder why you wouldn't think all by yourself. But clearly that's the case. So a little -erm, have you thought of it this way - is no bad thing, imo.

Employment-New York Court Of Appeals Rules That A Promised Bonus Constitutes "Wages" For Purposes Of NYS Labor Law § 190, So The Employer Cannot Withhold Payment
In Ryan v. Kellogg Partners Institutional Services, 2012 NY Slip Op 02248 (Court of Appeals of NY 2012), the plaintiff, Daniel Ryan ("Ryan"), received a job offer of floor broker from the defendant, Kellogg Partners Institutional Services ("Kellogg"), in early 2003. This job offer included a guarantee to pay Ryan a non-discretionary bonus of $175,000 in late 2003 or early 2004 in order to attract him from an established securities firm to Kellogg, a start-up venture at the time. Ryan accepted the job offer. In early 2004, the managing partner of Kellogg asked for and received Ryan's consent to delay this bonus payment for a year until late 2004 or early 2005 on the understanding that Ryan would remain at Kellogg through 2004.Kellogg fired Ryan in 2005. The question, among others, for the Court: does the bonus constitute "wages" for purposes of NYS Labor Law § 190 (1)?
The Court found that Ryan's bonus was expressly linked to his labor or services personally rendered, namely, his work as a floor broker for Kellogg. Further, Ryan's bonus had been earned and was vested before he was terminated by Kellogg. Its payment was guaranteed and non-discretionary as a term and condition of his employment. The bonus was not discretionary additional remuneration, as, for example, a share in a reward to all employees for the success of the employer's business. As such, the Court ruled that Ryan's bonus constitutes "wages" within the meaning of Labor Law § 190 (1). Consequently, under Labor Law § 193, Kellogg may not withhold payment of the bonus. Further, under Labor Law § 198 (1-a), Ryan is entitle to an award of attorney's fees for prevailing in this suit for a wage claim.

Why target date funds are disliked by financial advisors
While some financial advisors endorse target date funds to manage investment risk, retirement experts think that buying such products is not a smart move because of its drawbacks, according to an article from Mainstreet.com. Target date funds charge higher fees and don't perform well during a financial crisis. As passively-managed funds, these investment options put investments at higher risk, while the one-size-fits-all method behind these products is proven to be ineffective. DailyFinance
Retirees can save considerably by taking advantage of senior discounts available to them, according to this article on Kiplinger. Seniors can go to college without paying any tuition at about 60% of accredited, degree-granting schools across the country. Also retirees can get freebies at pharmacies and receive tax counseling for free from programs funded by the Internal Revenue Service. Kiplinger
An audacious retirement goal: Upsize your home
Many retirees opt to upsize instead of downsizing their homes to give more room to family members when visiting them and meet special age-dependent housing requirements, such as wider hallways, according to this article on The Motley Fool. They also relocate to expensive locations, such as beaches and skiing communities, to attract loved ones and friends to visit them more often. However, clients are advised to weigh their options before relocating as they may move into a bigger house but no family member will come to visit them. The Motley Fool
Financial strategies to cover an early or unexpected retirement
Although studies show that people are worried about their retirement prospects, many clients are forced to retire early because of health problems and other major life events, according to this article on Los Angeles Times. Those who need to retire earlier than planned are advised to estimate their cash flow including current expenses and portfolio returns and to tap home equity if necessary, says Michael Goodman, president of New York-based Wealthstream Advisors. They may also look into converting some IRA assets to Roth accounts since they stand to gain from it because of a decline in income, Goodman adds. Los Angeles Times
Social Security Q&A: Can't I repay multiple years of benefits before 70?
Clients have only one year to return all the monthly retirement benefits they received after filing for benefits to start anew and get an annual increase, according to this article on Forbes. This strategy is recommended if clients want to get a loan on a year's benefits without paying an interest. Clients also have the option to apply for their retirement benefit and suspend it until they turn 70, a move that will enable them to get all their suspended benefits any time before 70 if they need cash.

Question about Hotpoint REM25SJ Microwave Oven
Greetings, When I turn on the microwave oven it will shut off without completing. The shutoff is generally preceded by flickering in the display panel. Sometimes it will operate to completion, quite bizarre. When I turn off the turntable it still works erradically. I have changed the outlet the unit is plugged in to but that has not made any difference. Does anyone have any suggestions? Greetings, It seems that I have exactly the same problem. The microwave is out of warranty for 1 month and 15 days! Calling GE service they ask for a price which will not justify the repair. I opened it hoping to see something obvious. Not easy to spot the problem. I purchased it because the space I had was small, under a cabinet. Also the price was reasonable. The question I have is: should I buy the same model? Or this is model is really a lemon?
Posted by virgil100 on
Maybe the microwave oven is come to an end. However may you can try fixing that by a series of a test unsing the tester device. Maybe there is a automatic sensor that eradically not function properly.
In this case; i would suggest you to open the circuit and test some part that is not working properly.
Hope this help, melnavz
Posted on Feb 23, 2008
First try moving the power cord around. If you notice any change in behavior, most assuredly you have a problem with the cord itself or where it is connected in the microwave.
If not that, unplug it and open it to see if there are any loose connections, wire etc. inside.
Because these simptoms are erratic, there seems to be a short/loose connection that causes changes in the way the unit operates with movement/vibration.

Kentucky RB Boom Williams to miss UGA game with injury
In losing its rivalry game against Tennessee on Saturday, Kentucky also lost one of its most crucial offensive weapons for the immediate future.
The Wildcats released their depth chart Monday morning in anticipation of Saturday's UGA game — and not on it was Boom Williams, the star sophomore running back.
"Boom will be out. Boom has an elbow injury," Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said in his Monday press conference. "It will be week to week but he is out right now."
Williams had to leave the Tennessee game a few minutes before halftime when he injured the elbow on a big hit. A few minutes before the elbow issues surfaced, Williams hurt his arm, but he felt good enough to re-enter the game.
The depth chart now lists Mikel Horton as the top running back, followed by Jojo Kemp and Sihiem King. Williams has three rushing touchdowns and averages 80.4 yards per game on the ground. Horton also has three touchdowns, but he averages just 26.8 rushing yards per game.
Stoops also said wide receiver Joey Herrick won't be available to play Saturday and that offensive lineman George Asafo-Adjei will be monitored throughout the week. The good news on the injury front is that backup quarterback Drew Barker should be ready to play in the event that anything happens to starter Patrick Towles. Barker was out against Tennessee with a lingering shoulder injury.
"Joey, he's got a bone bruise," Stoops said. "So we were glad it was not a more significant knee injury."
Asked if the Wildcats needed to change their strategy in the run game with Williams unavailable, Stoops indicated that wasn't fully the case in Saturday's 52-21 loss to the Vols.
"Not much, not much — no," he said. "Certain things we do to create space for Boom and use his skill set, but the run game in general I thought wasn't bad … I wish we had just gone to some of our power running game earlier because we did have some success against them."

It arrived!!! Yeah! My brand new big shot has just shown up on my doorstep!! I am so excited, I just had to share! I have been shopping around for a die-cut machine for the past month or so. I wanted one to use with my scrapbooking (in the hope that it would help me get caught up a little faster, we will see how that goes :-) ). I have been doing research on which brand I wanted to buy. So you can imagine my excitement when SU! announced that we were going to begin selling the Big Shot. I love it when I get to buy "toys" and than get to write it off as a business expense. This baby will be well used I am sure! ;-)
Anyway...Here is a picture of my new toy and the box of goodies that came along with it!
I dragged out some cardstock I had on hand (not the best color choices) and started playing. I didn't get to do much before the baby woke up and the other two were demanding dinner (isn't that how it always works?). But here are a few things I managed to make before I was interrupted,
I will be playing with it this weekend and will try to post more pictures later!
It's HERE!! Where's My Paper?

National Technical Univeristy of Athens
The National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) is the oldest and most prestigious institution in Greece in the field of Technology education. It has constantly contributed to the scientific, technical and economic development of the country since its foundation in 1836.
Its history is closely intertwined with the struggle for independence, democracy and social progress of the Greek people. In Greece NTUA is also known as "Ethnicon Metsovion Polytechnion" (National Metsovion Polytechnic) to honour its first founders. Nikolaos Stournaris, Eleni Tositsa, Michail Tositsas and Georgios Averof, all from Metsovo, a small town in the region of Epirus, made significant donations in the second half of the 19th century.
The Polytechnic has gained an important experience in the field of research and development community projects.
For the APC project it will be in charge of entering current procedures and current information flows, of identifying the main need of port systems and of the subsequent planning and development activities necessary to the project's success.

Entick v Carrington
"If it is the law, it will be found in our books. If it is not to be found there, it is not law" meaning
the power claimed by the officers is not supported by a single citation from any law book.
Entick v Carrington
is the only authority on point, does the tort of trespass to land require a showing of damage?
No, trespass to land does not require a showing of damage. Trespass is actionable per se (in itself) whether or not the plaintiff has suffered any damage.
No man can set his foot upon my ground without my licence, but he is liable to an action, though the damage be nothing"
Entick v Carrington
Why is
"Every invasion of private property be it ever so minute.. a trepass"
? Would it make more sense for the law to require the defendant's trespass to have caused some kind of damage?
The value of protection of property is very important in common law.
Protection of property is the reason why we entered into a society.
If we cannot use the law to protect ourselves from invasion, then we would have to get into fights to keep people off our land.
There is a traditional link between the tort of trespass and preventing breaches of the peace.
Entick v Carrington
What does Lord Camden CJ mean by "
The great end, for which the men entered into society, was to secure their property".
What kind of security for property would exist if people had not "entered into society"?
The reason why we have society is to protect our property. Otherwise the only way to protect our property would be to fight it out. Thus the reason why we entered into society is to use the law to protect property instead of fighitng it out.
Entick v Carrington
Why is the
right to property "preserved sacred...in all instances"
(where it has not been taken away or abridged by some public law for the good of the whole)?
Tort law is a legal vehicle that facililates market activity. If we cannot use the law to protect our property than people would not bother buying anything, they would just try to go on to someone else's land and take whatever they need.
Entick v Carrington
I-Pad question
Camden CJ noted
"[one's] papers are...[one's] dearest property and are so far from enduring a seizure, that they will hardly bare inspection"
. But are Mike actions tortious?
No because Camden CJ says "the eye cannot by the laws of England be guilty of a trespass".
Entick v Carrington
Is the 'sacred principle' confined to land?
No discussion of chattels (papers) shows that the sacred principle of property extends to chattels.
Standing to Sue- Trespass to Land
Trespass to land (and goods) is concerned principally with interference with the rights to possession of property.
Owners usually have the immediate right to possession (but not if the property is leased).
Tenants can sue for trespass to land to prevent interference with their possessory rights.
Owners out of possession can sue for trespass on a showing of damage to land.
Why is tort law concerned to protect possessory rights againts interference?
Due to the traditional link between tort and preventing breaches of the peace.
Tort law provides an alternative to retaliation (revenge)
The person in possession is most likely to retaliate.
What is a Strike Out Decision?
The Court has been invited by the defendant to determine that even if the plaintiffs claims are true, the plaintiff would not be able to succeed at law.
What is a Summary Judgement?
Plaintiffs make summary judgement applications when they believe that the defendant has no possible defence to a claim.
What are damages?
An award of money given in response to the "damage" which the plaintiff has suffered
Two types of damages
: easily expressed in dollar (e.g. medical expenses)
: not easily expressed in dollar (e.g. pain and suffering)
Two types of injunction
Final injunction
: permanent injunction issued on completion of a trial
Interim injunction
: temporary injunction made by a court during a trial until the case is decided
Bernstein v Skyviews
Skyviews took aerial photos of homes and tried to sell them to the owners.
The owner of the house sued them for trespassing in the airspace over his land.
Bernstein v Skyviews
Griffiths J refered to cases such as Kelsen v Imperial Tobacco Co which recognized that......
This meant that.....
a trespass could occur when a sign overhangs the plaintiff's land.
There can be a trespass even though the object does not touch the surface of the land.
Trespass can occur in airspace.
Berstein v Skyviews
limits the....
Cujus est solum principle
Bernstein v Skyviews
Trespass zone
The trespass zone did not extend to infinity but rather to that area necessary for the ordinary use and enjoyment of the land.
"above that height he has no greater rights in the airspace than any other member of the public"
Bernstein v Skyviews
Is Griffiths J's holding consistent with Camden CJ's analysis in Entick v Carrington?
The two can be distinguished because Camden CJ is simply sayig that our land will be strictly protected by the tort of trespass.
Griffiths J is saying that airspace over land can be trespassed but the trespass zone does not extend to infinity but rather to that area necessary for the ordinary use and enjoyment of the land.
The impact of
s 97(2) Civil Aviation Act 1990
Berstein v Skyviews
This provision limits Griffith's "ordinary use and enjoyment" analysis because it says that merely flying across is not a trespass.
Immunizes airlines
This section would be unnecessary if rights in airspace did not extend to at least a reasonable flying height.
The phrase 'by reason only' indicates that the statutory immunity does not apply to cases where the defendant has done more than simply fly at a reasonable height.
This section conditions immunity on compliance with the Civil Aviation Act 1990 and rules made under it.
Davies v Bennison
The defendant shot and killed the plaintiff's cat, which was located on a roof of a shed in plaintiff's backyard.
Because the bullet remained embedded in the deceased cat, it never touched the ground.
Davies v Bennison
The defendant argued that there is no trespass because the bullet never touched the ground.
One can engage in trespass through things such as rubbish.
We have seen in Bernstein v Skyviews that contact with the surface of the plaintiff's land is not a requirement of the tort of trespass to land because trespass can occur in airspace (provided that it is within the area necessary for the ordinary use and enjoyment of the land).
Property Developer Ltd (PDL) wants to build a building next door to you. The boom of the PDL's crane anchored to PDL's land, frequently need to swing above your land.
Property developer's argument
Bernstein replaced the "cujus est solum" principle with "ordinary use and enjoyment" principle.
The crane boom is beyond the area that is necessary for the ordinary use and enjoyment.
PDL continued
The landowner's argument:
Cujus est solum principle applies where the object is fixed (not transient)
Bernstein does not speak to the situation of fixed objects.
Even if it does the crane boom is too law and it is within the area that is necessary for the ordinary use and enjoyment.
s 320 of the Property Law Act
you can apply to get permission to trespass.
it is an expensive process
if the parties want to settle, this would reduce the price of settlement down to less than the court fees that would be paid to secure one of these orders.

Commanding defender joins Stags
mansfieldtown.net, 26th May 2016
We are delighted to announce the signing of former Burton Albion defender George Taft on a free transfer.
The 22-year-old is primarily a centre-half but can also be deployed at left-back and he becomes the second signing in as many days after Bury striker Danny Rose put pen-to-paper at One Call Stadium yesterday.
The 6ft 5in Leicester City Academy product previously won promotion from League 2 with the Brewers in the 2014/15 season, during which he made 30 appearances.
A former England schoolboy, Taft represented his country at under 18 level where he scored his only international goal against Poland in 2010, before appearing five times for the under 19s.
The defender most recently spent time on loan at Cambridge United in the first half of the 2015/16 campaign, but his season was cut short due to a tear to his anterior cruciate ligament.
"This is an important move for me," said Taft. "After missing a lot of football last year for six months, I have to work even harder now and want to impress here.
Read more at http://www.mansfieldtown.net/news/article/commanding-defender-joins-stags-3126930.aspx#S7xkq88pLHHm7jaz.99
"The mindset and the belief which the gaffer (Adam Murray) has shown and what he believes the season can hold were factors which persuaded me to sign. I know a few of the lads here also and they have said how good the set-up is."
The defender's contract will begin on 01 July 2016. The deal is subject to Football League approval
Taft praises Murray influence after signing
mansfieldtown.net, 26th May 2016
Central defender George Taft says manager Adam Murray was a vital part of his decision to join the Stags.
The former Burton Albion man put pen-to-paper on a deal at One Call Stadium earlier today after manager Murray swooped to bring him to the club following his release from the Pirelli Stadium.
And Taft, who won promotion from League 2 with the Brewers two season ago, says the manager's vision was a key element in his decision to sign.
"It's obviously a big stadium, I like the look of everything and everything that's going on at the minute, the work that's getting put in, it's looking good," Taft said.
Read more at http://www.mansfieldtown.net/news/article/taft-praises-murray-influence-after-signing-3127359.aspx#l6q8Rwhtr6sYDorM.99
"The mindset and the belief in what the gaffer's shown in what he reckons the season can hold [was a big reason in my decision to sign].
"I know a few of the lads down here and they've said how good the set up and stuff [is], so it's drawn my attention to the club."
Prior to signing with Adam Murray's men, the 22-year-old spoke with friend and former team-mate Adi Yussuf who 'twisted his arm' to join the Stags.
"We played together for a couple of years and I'm good mates with him anyway. He's just said about last season; I saw a few games last season and obviously looked at the results [and] they did well and he wants to push on from there, the gaffer and the chairman, everyone [wants to push on], and Adi's given me that confidence in the team.
"[He] was the first person I spoke to. I asked him the logistics, training, facilities, what the gaffer's like, the lads and he's given me a positive outlook."
After seeing Leicester and Burton enjoy incredible success last season, Taft says the triumphs of his two former clubs spurs him on to create more memorable moments of his own.
"Watching Burton winning and getting promotion and being around that team, that's really spurred me on. I'm a Leicester fan so watching that, everything just makes you believe and think that anything can happen so I just want to get on the pitch now," Taft said.
"It was a good experience, obviously going up as champions was good and obviously I want to feel that again and this could be the club to do it, hopefully."
The 6ft 5in defender suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury whilst on loan at Cambridge United last season and is now looking forward to 'making up for lost time'.
"I was out on loan at Cambridge and ruptured my ACL (anterior cruciate ligament); it obviously happens and I've just got to bounce back and now I'm just looking to work hard, get my fitness there and get my games back.
"With an injury like this, you kind of spend more time on your body and you know more about yourself so it can only benefit me."

Stags boss Murray excited by quality signings
chad.co.uk, John Lomas
Mansfield Town boss Adam Murray said he was excited this week after signing two quality players that have already both tasted promotion from League Two.
The arrival of Bury striker Danny Rose was followed by the signing of 6ft 5ins centre half George Taft from Burton Albion, a move made to cover the likely loss of player of the season Ryan Tafazolli, probably to Peterborough United.
"The big thing about these two signings is they are both winners," said Murray.

"They are both young guys, both 22, with an unbelievable hunger to not only be successful for Mansfield Town and the team they are coming into, but also to be successful in their own career and push on again.
"Both can play at a much higher level than League Two and both have a fantastic drive to achieve that, and to do it with Mansfield Town.
"It's great to have two young guys in who have already got promoted from this league - to have that focus and that vision, that know-how of how to win.
"We spoke about it last season. You need to know how to win. For some individuals that's just ingrained in you from when you are a whippersnapper in nappies. I believe these two guys we've brought in are winners.
On the arrival of Taft, he said: "With the way the situation with Ryan was unfolding as the season was going on, we needed to have some plans in place.
"We feel that George is potentially one of the best left-sided defenders around. He is only 22, has already won League Two, and comes from a great pedigree.
"I watched him a lot at Leicester in their U21s. Then he went to Burton and had a great time. So we had our targets set early doors
"Obviously things take time to come to the point where you get to dotting the i's and crossing the t's, but we've finally got it done.
"He has a bit of an injury last season, so we had to make sure everything was okay on that front. Then we've come to a deal that we feel is right for the player and right for the club.
"Now we can't wait to get going. He brings a massive presence to us."
Murray added: "He is 6ft 5ins so we've gained an inch on Ryan.
"He has a superb left foot and his ability to play out from the back and his distribution forward are of a very high quality.
"He is very intelligent, has decent pace, reads the game well and commands his back four and 18 yard box. So we are chuffed to bits to get this signing done. I am really, really excited by this one and can't wait to work with him."
Despite his height, Taft is equally at home at left back.
"When Jimmy (Hasselbaink) first put him at left back at Burton in the promotion season I watched him play there a few times, as he had a good few appearances there, and he was outstanding.
"It was surprising to have someone so big playing a full back position. "It's not very often seen, but he was fantastic in that position and I think the ability to play in multi-positions, as we saw with our squad last season, is vitally important. It allows you to play different shapes.
"But I have brought him in to fight for a place at centre half and to be in that role. Because of the transfer windows next season, if we do need to shuffle things around, we have got that ability to do that.
"We've got people like Lee Collins who can play left, right, centre or centre of the park. Tafty can play centre half and left back, so defensively it gives us good cover."

GEORGE Taft has joined Mansfield Town on a free transfer.
The former-Leicester City defender joined Burton Albion in May 2014 on a two-year deal which meant his contract would expire this summer.
Brewers manager Nigel Clough invited Taft to join the Brewers during pre-season in order to prove his fitness after missing most of the 2015/16 campaign through injury.
Taft made over 30 appearances for Burton and scored a memorable goal against Shrewsbury Town at the Pirelli Stadium.
Nigel Clough said: "We gave George the option to come and train with is during pre-season as he was out of contract but he had the chance to prove his fitness.

"We're pleased that George has got himself fixed up with a club so quickly and we wish him all the best."
Taft said: "I've loved my time at Burton and especially being involved with back-to-back promotions.
"I need a new challenge now and I need to play games."
Burton Albion transfer news: George Taft leaves Brewers to sign for League Two side Mansfield Town
Burton Mail, May 26, 2016, By Ashley Wilkinson
BURTON Albion defender George Taft has joined League Two side Mansfield Town on a free transfer. Taft's contract expires this summer but having suffered an ACL injury earlier in the season, was invited by manager Nigel Clough to join the Brewers in pre-season.
But the former Leicester City defender, who joined the Brewers in May 2014 on a two-year deal, has opted to move to the League Two Stags at the end of his contract. Taft made 34 appearances for Albion and scored a memorable goal against Shrewsbury Town at the Pirelli Stadium.
Taft spent part of last season on loan at Cambridge United until the injury to his knee cut his spell at the Abbey Stadium short.
"We gave George the option to come and train with is during pre-season as he was out of contract but he had the chance to prove his fitness," said Clough. "We're pleased that George has got himself fixed up with a club so quickly and we wish him all the best."

Taft insists that the opportunity for first team football is what persuaded him to join Adam Murray's side. "I've loved my time at Burton and especially being involved with back-to-back promotions," said Taft in a statement. "I need a new challenge now and I need to play games."

5 Rules for Surviving the Next 4 Years
Follow these 5 guidelines and watch your portfolio thrive in a Trump or Clinton White House
By the time you read this, the 2016 Election Season will finally, mercifully, be coming to a close. The season is reminiscent of the old farmer/racoon story where the farmer trees a coon behind his barn and can't seem to bring it out of the tree. So he puts down his shotgun and climbs up into the tree to fell the animal by hand. Upon his arrival, he discovers, much to his dismay, that the "coon" is actually a bobcat. A horrible ruckus ensues. The farmer's sons, hearing the commotion, race down to the tree with their shotguns in hand. Hearing both the wounded cries of the farmer and the cat, the young men are unsure where to shoot, fearing hitting their embattled father. Finally, they hear a command from above: "Just put your fire into the tree boys! One of us has got to get some relief!" (I stole that story from a WSJ article but cannot remember the author to credit.)
Whatever the outcome of this election, it will be a relief when it's over. Thus the suffering of anyone who has followed this brutal, bitter, no holds barred election cycle. Not the least of which has been YOU, the high net worth investor. Whichever way you lean politically, trying to guess how markets will react to victories by either candidate can keep an investor up at night.
Thus a favorite subject of financial media is how will a victory by Trump or Clinton affect the markets? Will a Clinton or Trump victory be "good" or "bad" for stocks?
A reporter called me just this week to ask if a Clinton victory would be "good" or "bad" for commodities.
Now there are two answers to this question. One is the short, easy, concise answer that the reporter wanted (which I did not give.) The other is the smart answer that makes money.
For this column, we'll give the latter.
No such thing as "Good" or "Bad" Markets
The good news is this: THERE ARE NO "GOOD" OR "BAD" markets – only how you position in them. Traditional investors think that "good" markets are bull markets and "bad" markets are bear markets. Option sellers, especially commodities option sellers, see only bull or bear. Either can be equally profitable and just as easily reaped.
A perfect example of this is revealed in Dr. Samir Elias's book: Generate Thousands in cash on your stocks before buying or selling them (a must read for any investor who sells, or is considering selling options.) Dr. Elias shows an enlightening example of how he made nearly $20,000 by selling calls on a collapsing Mckesson (MCK) stock, all the way to the bottom.
Most traditional investors would consider this precipitous fall in price a "bad" move for Mckesson.
It wasn't for Dr. Elias.
And it doesn't have to be for you. "Good" or "Bad" markets are a relative term. A stock market dive after the election might be "bad" for a traditional buy and hold investor. But it could be gold for an option seller – as Dr. Elias proved.
Sell Calls on the S&P?
Am I suggesting selling calls on the S&P ahead of the election?
Not necessarily. Then again, that chart looks pretty ominous.
However, I gave up trying to trade the stock market years ago. Price discovery in stocks has so many moving parts it simply makes no sense to me when or why it moves.
Ready to roll over? Maybe. But commodities may offer more logical reasons to buy or sell.
I prefer something that at least has some logic to it – which is why I chose commodities.
Back to the point, if you are the kind of investor who wishes to try to guess
- Who will win the election
- How "the market" will react to that outcome
…feel free to have at it. But that is not investing. "Good" or "bad" outcome, you're simply gambling.
It is possible that stocks will have already "priced in" a winner by the time of the actual election and thus see a muted reaction afterwards. But should stocks surge or purge, it will likely be a short lived "knee jerk" reaction.
Smart investors will be best served by planning for the next 4 years, not the next 4 weeks. This month, you'll learn our 5 rules for maximizing your asset growth over that time, regardless of who sits in the Oval Office.
Surviving and Thriving in the next 4 Years
"Good" or "Bad" markets the next four years, you can survive a Hillary (or Trump) presidency in style by targeting high returns in your portfolio. How? By employing these advanced and sometimes counter-intuitive investing rules:
5 Rules for Consistent Asset Growth in the Next 4 Years
- Seek Real Diversification: Not just more stocks or stock options. Get 5-45% of your investment assets into alternative, uncorrelated, non-traditional asset classes. Not doing this is the #1 mistake of high net worth investors and could dangerous to your net worth if stocks head south.
- Adopt Alternative Strategies: Diversify not just your asset class, but investment strategies. Adopt approaches that can excel in bull or bear markets. We're bound to see both over the next 48 months in stocks, bonds or commodities. Doing this can allow you to potentially generate returns whether the economy, interest rates or taxes move up, down or stay the same.
- Make sure it's a real "Asset." Robert Kiyosaki, author of the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" series of books, defines an asset as "something that puts cash in your pocket – not takes it out." Thus buying something for appreciation alone (like a stock or an option) would not qualify under Bob's definition. Real Estate with monthly cash flow, a stock that pays dividends, selling an option that pays premium up front – all would qualify under this definition.
- Look for NEW tax advantaged strategies and investments. As a "1% er," you are a tax target of the Federal government. And while one candidate is likely going to hit you harder than the other (you know who), minimizing your tax bite will be a paramount concern either way. Muni's are the traditional favorite. But there are alternatives out there that you may have never considered. Tax liability can have a huge impact on end of year net return.
Bringing in hired guns can be a smart move in unfamiliar asset classesConsider Hired Guns: In The Magnificent Seven (the 1960 original is much, much better than the remake – trust me) townspeople under siege hire a group of gunslingers to help them face down a brutal land baron. It works. The landscape of modern investing, especially alternative investing, can be like the Wild West. The next 4 years will likely make it more so. This is particularly true for high net worth investors who may desire the diversification and potentially higher returns of alternatives, but lack the time or expertise to trade themselves. Bringing in specialized expertise to handle these can add percentage points to your end of year asset growth. But screen carefully. For every Yul Brynner, there are 5 Don Knotts seeking to join your posse. Screening to separate wheat from chaff is time consuming. At the end of the next 1, 5 or 10 years, it will be well worth the few hours of interview screenings.
