Wider and more stable are definitely both a big plus. The rail is on the wrong side, but it may just go away completely rather than going to all the work of moving it to the other side. It's not like the old steps had a railing, nor do most of the back porches in the park. If taking them off, cleaning them up and re-attaching them doesn't end up being a big deal, I may do it. Or not. I was born lazy.
I also talked to the contractor about replacing the back door with something that is a bit more weather-tight so wind and rain will quit blowing into our living space. He said they have a basic door with no window that will screw right into the same hole. I said, "Do it." Because the guys are already coming out here, there won't be any installation charge, just the cost of the door. Can't beat that with an ugly stick cut from a tree you can't see for the forest.
The guys were able to get a rough outline of the deck going before the rain came back and ran them off for the day. Naturally, the instant they got everything packed up and got into the truck, it stopped raining. The weather liars say it will be like this for the next several days. Anyone like to bet that this will be the one time they're right? Anyway, here's how it looks so far:
Originally, they were going to do the roof first, then build the deck, which I thought was a little backwards, But I assumed something to do with hurricane codes meant they needed to anchor the porch roof before the deck was in the way. Then this morning, the contractor called and said they decided to do the deck first, then build the roof to the deck. I'm completely indifferent as long as something is getting done. With all the preliminaries out of the way, like moving the old steps and getting the leveling jack off the trailer tongue, I expect things will go faster.
With some luck, I should be able to post updates every day or two. Unless that lazy thing kicks in.

SRBMiner Cryptonight AMD GPU Miner is a Windows software made for mining cryptocurrencies based on Cryptonight algorithm.
There are now a lot of different Cryptonight variations, and SRBMiner supports them all!
The native algo switching support can increase your profit even more! Read more about it here.
Supported algorithms
- CryptoNight V8
- CryptoNight V7
- CryptoNight Classic
- CryptoNight LiteV7
- CryptoNight Lite Classic
- CryptoNight Heavy
- CryptoNight BitTubeV2
- CryptoNight ArtoCash
- CryptoNight Alloy

- Cryptonight Red (Mox)
Nicehash, SSL/TLS connections are fully supported.
DevFee is very low, it's only ~ 0.85%
Lot of useful options included like :
- Native algo switching to always mine the most profitable coins
- Hashrate watchdog that restarts miner on GPU error
- System shutdown on too high GPU temperature
- Hashrate monitor that restarts miner if hashrate has dropped
- Temperature and fan speed setup and monitoring
- API for miner statistics
- Multiple pools with failover support
- Add new pools on the fly without restarting miner
- Difficulty monitor, reconnects to pool if difficulty is too high
- Job timeout monitor, reconnects to pool if no job received for a long time
- Switch your video cards to compute mode easily
- Benchmark your config offline
Everything you need to know is in the ReadMe.txt file in the miner directory.
Config files method
To get started there are 2 files you need to edit : algo config in Config directory and pools.txt
Here is an example :
"cryptonight_type" : "normalv8",
"intensity" : 0,
"double_threads" : true
Intensity if set to 0 will try to automatically find a good setting for your video card/s.
Afterwards you can tune your cards manually to get a higher hashrate.
The "double_threads" option if set to true can boost things and make the hashrate even higher.
"pools" :
{"pool" : "pool1:port", "wallet" : "your-wallet-address", "password" : "x"},
{"pool" : "pool2:port", "wallet" : "your-wallet-address", "password" : "x"}
This can't get easier, you need to input the address and port of your pool, insert your wallet and password if there is any.
Command line interface method
- --ccryptonighttype value (algo to use)
- --cgpuid value (gpu id, comma separated values, use --listdevices to see available)
- --cgpuintensity value (gpu intensity, comma separated values)
- --cgputhreads value (number of gpu threads, comma separated values)
- --cgpuworksize value (gpu worksize, comma separated values)
- --cgputargettemperature value (gpu temperature, comma separated values)
- --cgputargetfanspeed value (gpu fan speed in RPM, comma separated values)
- --cgpuadltype value (gpu adl to use (1 or 2), comma separated values)
- --cgpukernel value (gpu kernel to use (1 or 2), comma separated values)
Use 1 GPU with id 0 , intensity 120, 2 threads on algo cryptonight v7 on nanopool:
SRBMiner-CN.exe --sendallstales --ccryptonighttype normalv7 --cgpuid 0 --cgpuintensity 120 --cgputhreads 2 --cpool xmr-eu1.nanopool.org:14444 --cwallet your-wallet
Use 5 GPUS with id 0,1,2,3,4 , intensities 56,56,55,58,55, 2 threads for each GPU, on algo cryptonight v7 on nanopool:
SRBMiner-CN.exe --sendallstales --ccryptonighttype normalv7 --cgpuid 0,1,2,3,4 --cgpuintensity 56,56,55,58,55 --cgputhreads 2,2,2,2,2 --cpool xmr-eu1.nanopool.org:14444 --cwallet your-wallet

A blog about my experiences using foldables and interactive notebooks with my middle school math students.
Tuesday, July 24, 2012
Stocking Up for September
When I was in the store, I stopped by the "Dollar Bins" and was pleasantly surprised! Since I decided to use interactive notebooks this year, I realized that my students would need constant access to scissors, glue sticks, highlighters, and markers. While I do have a "Supply Center" set up in my class already, the idea of having every kid stop at the center to both borrow and return items every single day was quite overwhelming.
I did have a plan in my head. On the side of every desk in my classroom is a small vertical bar that is perfect for hanging something. I decided that I needed to find some sort of hanging container for each desk. And, I found exactly what I was looking for at Target this afternoon! Voila!
They are perfect! I can easily fit small scissors, a glue stick, some highlighters and whatever else is needed each day. And, they are also really cute. I love the black and white designs! Best part is that they were only $1.00 each! I got 28 containers for just $28.00! Amazing!
I also picked up 8 letter trays. Four of them are wooden and very "cool" colors. I plan on using one for each of my classes. Everyday when my students walk in, they will check their class' tray for any handouts that need to be added to their notebooks that day.
The other four are plastic and a bit larger. I think they will be fantastic holders for center activities each week!
Each letter tray was $2.50, so I spent a total of $20.00 on them all. Well worth it in my opinion! (I many even go back for some more tomorrow!)
If you have a Target near you, I recommend getting there ASAP!

Like I mentioned previously, I have a lot of issues to work out with my interactive notebooks - but supply organization isn't one of them! :) My dad hooked me up with a very cool tool for organizing necessary supplies. You'll have to check my supply caddies! :)ReplyDelete
Setting Sail in 7th GradeReplies
I saw your desk caddies and loved them! My students are seated in groups though; they are in pairs. I am definitely sharing your caddies with my sister though. She teaches Kindergarten. I think they would be perfect for her class!Delete
I've decided that I MUST make a trip to Target before school starts! Thanks for the inspiration!ReplyDelete
I bought 5 of those plastic trays in July for my classroom and I have regretted not buying twice as many ever since!ReplyDelete

California Bans Coyote Hunts for Prizes
California hunters can no longer earn rewards for their coyote killing prowess.
The California Fish and Game Commission has banned the rewarding of prizes for coyote hunting. A petition drawn up by the advocacy group Project Coyote brought the vote before the Commission. The ban passed with a 4-1 vote, becoming the first of its kind in the country.
Coyote hunting contests are popular across many Western states, with most ranchers and landowners seeing them as a helpful way to help curb the exploding coyote population.
High numbers of these predators can cause great financial loss to ranchers, as well as cause a rapid decline in numbers of prey species (like whitetail deer) that are popular with millions of hunters.
More from Wide Open Spaces:
Idaho Wolf Hunt Approved, Then Reversed, By BLM
50 of the Greatest Guns of All Time
Florida Youngsters Reels in Amazonian Catfish
It's been reported that California cattle ranchers lost $4 million dollars in 2010 alone due to predation, most of which was due to coyotes.
What coyote advocates fail to consider, however, is the effect that a burgeoning coyote population has on the rest of the ecosystem. While coyotes play a key role in maintaining a healthy biological system, a large number of coyotes in a given area is a threat to a large number of other species.

Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City
This page is a stub. You can help out by editing the page with more content.
- This article has been categorized under [[Category:Stubs]].
|Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City
|Rockstar North
|Rockstar Games
|Grand Theft Auto
|Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC
|Release date
|October 29th 2009 (Xbox 360)
April 13th 2010 (PS3 & PC)
|Single Player, online Multiplayer
Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City is a compilation game for the Xbox 360, PC and PS3. It contains the games Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned and Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony on one disc. This game will not need the original Grand Theft Auto IV disc to play, unlike the downloadable content, both of which do need it.
There is 500 total achievement points for this game. The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony have 250 points each. The trophies and PC achievements will presumably be the same.
[edit] Additional Content
[edit] Soundtrack
Fernando Martinez returned to host the radio station Vice City FM, making his first appearance in the GTA IV era. [1]
[edit] Missions
For the first time on a console version of Grand Theft Auto, missions will now be replayable [2] and The Ballad of Gay Tony missions will have a scoring system, as revealed by the achievements.
[edit] Differences to DLC
[edit] Soundtrack
One of the major differences between EfLC and the DLC is the inclusion of Vice City FM, RamJam FM and Self-Actualisation FM on disc. They are not available by download.
Of the existing stations, only the tracks from Episodes from Liberty City appear on that disc. None of the songs from GTA IV can be imported onto EfLC. The player can only import songs if the games are downloaded separately instead of purchased retail.
[edit] Lost and Damned
The disc version and DLC version of The Lost and Damned have some map differences, notably Tony Princes nightclubs on the disc version. Because of the differences, the downloaded games are only compatible with each other when playing online and is the same case with the EfLC copy of the game.

Three engines are available: 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8, and 6.2-liter V8.Four-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive are offered.
Sierra comes standard with vinyl upholstery, Sierra SLE upgrades to cloth.Sierra SLT is fitted with leather upholstery, Sierra Denali gets upgraded leather.
The tailgate is damped, so it doesn't slam down when opened, and a locking tailgate is available.A small step in the rear bumper makes it easy to look in the bed or pluck something out.LED lighting illuminates the bed.
The Sierra Denali Ultimate features running boards that swing to the rear for access to the bed, a handy feature.

The engines can use Regular unleaded gas.Under light engine loads, only four of the cylinders are activated, the others coast, for improved fuel economy.
Sierra 1500 2WD with 4.3-liter V6 is EPA-rated at 18/24 mpg City/Highway, or 20 mpg Combined.Ram with V6 is comparable.
The 5.3-liter V8 is rated 15/21 mpg with 8-speed automatic and four-wheel drive.The 6.2-liter V8 matches it with 15/21 mpg.

Wedding and bridesmaid dresses can be stressful. Bridesmaid dresses often have a one-and-done lifespan. Wedding-dress shopping can require designated shopping trips by appointment only. If only you could turn that horrific bridesmaid dress into a fashionable piece you could really wear again, or grab your dress during your Sunday grocery run.
Two new dress offerings hope to solve both those conundrums.

This new service from The Dessy Group lets women take one of fashion's most-maligned garments - the bridesmaid dress - and upgrade it for any closet's go-to piece: the little black...

These hold/by unconditional force, beyond all right, a throne/that runs reeking blood,/blood at the feet, blood at the head.../[Apollo] has spoiled his secret shrine's/hearth with the stain, driven and hallowed the action on./He made man's way cross the place of the ways of god/and blighted age-old distributions of power." Lines 162-172
Quote 7: "This house is no right place for such as you to cling/upon...by [your] judgment given, heads are lopped/and eyes are gouged out, throats cut, and by the spoil of sex/the glory of young boys is defeated, where mutilation/lives, and stoning, and the long moan of tortured men.../Listen/to how the gods spit out the manner of that feast/your love leans to."

Lines 458-467
Quote 14: "Here is dilemma. Whether I let them stay or drive/them off, it is hard course and will hurt. Then, since/the burden of the case is here, and rests on me,/I shall select judges of manslaughter, and swear/them in, establish a court into all time to come." Lines 480-484

Now/he smashes it on the reef of Right/and drowns, unwept and forgotten." Lines 558-565
Quote 17: "Let the stabbing voice of the Etruscan/trumpet, blown to the full with mortal wind, crash out/its high call to all the assembled populace./For in the filling of this senatorial ground/it is best for all the city to be silent and learn/the measures I have laid down into the rest of time."

Quote 19: "The mother is no parent of that which is called/her child, but only nurse of the new-planted seed/that grows. The parent is he who mounts. A stranger she/preserves a stranger's seed, if no god interfere.../There can/be a father without any mother. There [Athena] stands,/the living witness, daughter of Olympian Zeus,/she who was never fostered in the dark womb/yet such a child as no goddess could bring to birth." Lines 658-666
Quote 20: "I shall make great your city and its populace./So I have brought this man to sit beside the hearth/of your house, to be your true friend for the rest of time,/so you shall win him, goddess, to fight by your side,/and among men to come this shall stand a strong bond/that his and your own people's children shall be friends." Lines 668-673
Quote 21: "Since you, a young god, would ride down my elder age,/I must stay here and listen to how the trial goes,/being yet uncertain to loose my anger on the state." Lines 731-733
Quote 22: "There is no mother anywhere who gave me birth,/and, but for marriage, I am always for the male/with all my heart, and strongly on my father's side./So, in a case where the wife has killed her husband, lord/of the house, her death shall not mean most to me." Lines 736-740
Quote 23: "Gods of the younger generation, you have ridden down/the laws of the elder time, torn them out of my hands./I, disinherited, suffering, heavy with anger/shall let loose on the land/the vindictive poison/dripping deadly out of my heart upon the ground;/this from itself shall breed/cancer.../What shall I do? Afflicted/I am mocked by these people." Lines 778-789
Quote 24: "In complete honesty I promise you a place/of your own, deep hidden underground that is yours by right/where you shall sit on shining chairs beneath the hearth/to accept devotions offered by your citizens." Lines 804-807
Quote 25: "The wind I breathe is fury and utter hate./Earth, ah, earth/what is this agony that crawls under my ribs?/Night, hear me, o Night,/mother. They have wiped me out/and the hard hands of the gods/and their treacheries have taken my old rights away." Lines 840-847
Quote 26: "No, let our wars rage outward hard against the man/who has fallen horribly in love with high renown./No true fighter I call the bird that fights at home./Such life I offer you, and it is yours to take./Do good, receive good, and be honored as the good/are honored. Share our country, the beloved of god." Lines 864-869
Quote 27: "A place free of all grief and pain. Take it for yours.../No household shall be prosperous without your will.../So we shall straighten the lives of all who worship us.../Stay here, then. You will win the hearts of others, too." Lines 893-901
Quote 28: "Let it come out of the ground, out of the sea's water,/and from the high air make the waft of gentle gales/wash over the country in full sunlight, and the seed/and stream of the soil's yield and of the grazing beasts/be strong and never fail our people as time goes,/and make the human seed be kept alive." Lines 904-909
Quote 29: "Let there blow no wind that wrecks the trees./I pronounce words of grace./Nor blaze of heat blind the blossoms of grown plants.../Let no barren deadly sickness creep and kill./Flocks fatten. Earth be kind/to them, with double fold of fruit/in time appointed for its yielding. Secret child/of earth, her hidden wealth, bestow/blessing and surprise of gods." Lines 938-948
Quote 30: "Go then. Sped by majestic sacrifice/from these, plunge beneath the ground. There hold/off what might hurt the land; pour in/the city's advantage, success in the end.../For good things given,/your hearts' desire be for good to return." Lines 1006-1013
Quote 31: "Gracious be, wish what the land wishes,/follow, grave goddesses, flushed in the flame sprung/torchlight gay on your journey./Singing all follow our footsteps./There shall be peace forever between these people/of [Athena] and their guests. Zeus the all seeing/met with Destiny to confirm it./Singing all follow our footsteps." Lines 1040-1047

PowerColor Radeon HD 6970 LCS Review
Temperature testing will be accomplished by loading the video card to 100% using MSI Kombuster, which is paired with MSI's Afterburner overclocking utility for temperature monitoring. I will be using the stability test set to a resolution of 1920x1200 using 8xAA. I will use a 15 minute time frame to run the test, ensuring that the maximum thermal threshold is reached. The fan speed will be left in the control of the driver package and video card's BIOS for the stock load test, with the fan moved to 100% to see the best possible cooling scenario for the overclocked load test. The idle test will be a 20 minute cool down with the fan speeds left on automatic in the stock speed testing and bumped up to 100% when running the overclocked idle and load testing. For load testing the GTX 580 and GTX 570, I will use Crysis Warhead run at 2560x1600 using the Gamer setting with 8xAA looping the Avalanche benchmark scenario, as I have found this to put a load close to that of Kombuster on a video card. This is needed as a way around the current limiting ability of the GTX 500 series when it detects programs that put an unrealistic load on the GPU, which Kombuster does.
- Monitoring with MSI Afterburner
- GPU Stability test in MSI Kombuster
- 15 minute load duration
- 20 minute idle duration
- Temperature measured in degrees Celsius
Lower = Better
One of the key benefits of a liquid cooled card is clearly evident in the maximum temperature reached under load. A maximum of 45 degrees Celsius is a 20+ degree reduction in load temperatures when overclocked with the fan running at 100% and a 47C reduction when the fan is automatically controlled in the stock testing.

Room with a phew! Seller sues estate agents who had sex in his house TEN TIMES
THESE two randy estate agents have been caught on camera after apparently having sex in a house they were supposed to be selling.
"The alleged misconduct at the home does not in any way represent how we conduct business"Hal Maxwell, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage
Robert Lindsay and Jeannemarie Phelan are accused of romping at least 10 times in the property, unaware their saucy moves were being captured on CCTV.
Owner Richard Wiener had asked the couple to show buyers round, but said he was shocked to see them kissing in the kitchen before undressing and having sex in his marital bed.
Now he is suing the pair for damages, claiming they committed the "ultimate breach of trust".
Mr Weiner found out about the liaisons after he spotted "intruders" with flashlights on a live video feed and called the police.
Officers who entered the home caught Lindsay with his trousers down.
According to court papers, "the police found Lindsay pulling up his pants. He lied to police by telling them that he was there to prepare the house for an open house. Instead, Lindsay and Phelan were at the house to have sex."
Mr Wiener alleges the agents overvalued his home in Denville, New Jersey, USA, to ensure it was not sold so they could use it for their affair.
Lindsay and Phelan issued a £600,000 counter-suit claiming Mr Wiener was trying to blackmail them, so he released the footage to US TV show Inside Edition.
He dismissed their allegations, saying: "We didn't ask them for a cent. We asked them for a meeting."
Phelan's lawyer Kal Geist said: "This is tantamount to extortion. I have never seen a more exaggerated claim."
Hal Maxwell, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in New Jersey, told Inside Edition: "The alleged misconduct at the home does not in any way represent how we conduct business."

Today marks the end of the second week of my visiting fellowship at Indiana University Bloomington, attached to the Lilly Library. With another two weeks to go, I thought it was about time for a blog post.
In my time here on the (incredibly hot) IU Bloomington campus, I have been finishing up the first full draft of my first chapter–more on that another time no doubt–and also exploring the holdings of the Lilly Library and the Kinsey Institute library. I have been amazingly lucky not just to have this opportunity, but also in the things that I've found in support of my upcoming second chapter on various publications from the British and American Underground Press. Back in the last months of my undergrad, I was tipped off by a supervisor about the existence of Ed Sanders' Fuck You: A Magazine of the Arts. I quickly became preoccupied with ideas of the underground press and mimeo revolution, and I had planned to fit it in to my MA program somewhere, but unfortunately that didn't happen.
When it came to applying for my PhD, though, a chapter on the Underground Press was the one most clear in my mind. While it hasn't been the first I've written about, I am really looking forward to getting to grips with the huge range of material I have so far been able to collect from the Lilly and Kinsey Institute libraries. Current count is around 600 pictures.
When it comes to luck, it is not just the full collection of Fuck You that I was able to get access to at the Lilly, but also copies of a Gay Liberation Front-associated journal held at the Kinsey: Gay Flames. Unfortunately, the Kinsey Institute, especially the library, was subject to quite serious flooding last year. This means that appointments to access the materials the Kinsey library holds is by appointment only. After sending my request email, I was informed that the majority of the Kinsey's Gay Flames holdings were water damaged and inaccessible, but that I was welcome to come and do some work with those few issues that weren't damaged. My luck was confirmed when I found the below in one of the four undamaged issues. Exactly what I was looking for:
"Third World Gay Manifesto". Gay Flames issue 12, March 1971
I discovered Gay Flames when reading José Muñoz's excellent Cruising Utopia, where he referred to this very manifesto. Decided I needed to read it for myself, I was very glad to find it had survived the flooding, and an analysis of it will form the jumping off point for my Underground Press chapter.
For the remaining two weeks I'm here, I will be holed up almost every day in the main campus library, the Herman B. Wells, working with microfilm for the first time. The Wells has an Underground Press Syndicate microfilm collection, which includes (among its over 700 holdings), Women's libeRATion, which is another key text for my chapter, and the publication it grew out of, RAT: Subterranean News, along with a (seemingly) complete collection of The Black Panther, Urban Underground (from New York), Black Circles (an openly anarchist publication), Peace News and International Times from London, and Momma from L.A. I fear I'm going to come back to Manchester with far too much material, but it will at least allow me to be discerning. Once I'm back, I'm planning a trip down to the UCL Little Magazine collection to fill in some gaps with London publications, and then it will be hard at work writing until January when I plan to have a full draft complete.
Well, with that, I will sign off. I hope to get another blog post up just after I'm back with my findings from the UPS collection.
From Bloomington,

In this IIoT Talks Dialogue series, Echelon CEO and Chairman Ron Sege builds on questions and answers covered during Echelon's IIoT Talks with industry luminaries, providing his own commentary, insight, advice, and other thoughts.
Patrick Moorhead and Paul Teich, Moor Insights & Strategy: Customers want to know the answer to one major question: If I invest now in IIoT solutions, will my investment still be good in 10 years?
Ron Sege responds: A corollary question we hear often from customers is about how soon they will see a return on their IIoT investment. We see the potential for the IIoT to improve productivity and quality of life at least as much as the Internet of computers has done, if not more. But I think it's important to understand what it will take to unlock the ROI inherent in the IIoT.
The fact is, many commercial and industrial environments have a large installed base of pre-IP networked devices, running a multitude of incompatible protocols. These range from LonWorks and BACnet networks controlling HVAC systems, to DALI lighting controllers, to SCADA systems on the electrical grid. These long-lived assets need to be either integrated into the IIoT as they are, or replaced with versions running IP-based protocols.
In addition, networks of mission-critical devices have different requirements for reliability, scale, and security than the networks of computers now on the Internet. The IIoT industry is working diligently on standards and technologies to meet these requirements; however, this work will take time. Plus, many new entrants to the IIoT market will need to be educated on the different demands and use cases between the Internet of Computers and the Internet of Things.
At Echelon, we're focused on accelerating the time-to-ROI for commercial and industrial customers. We are doing this both by enabling pre-IP devices to be integrated into the IIoT, and by building a highly reliable, scalable, and secure multiprotocol platform that we are calling the IzoT™ platform. By helping our customers avoid rip-and-replace upgrades, and by meeting the unique needs of commercial and industrial applications, we help customers take advantage of the promise of the IIoT most quickly.

Hello my kitties! Damn, I've got so many outfits I wanna show you guys, along with a new garment I made aaaaaages ago. But first I'll show you a little sumthin' sumthin' I put together a few days ago.
I just love this dress so much! I love the shape, the pattern, the colours, the collar. It's just, ugh! LOVE IT! I found it at the markets for $5!!!!! I know right? CA. RAY. ZAY! Another reason I forced my dad to buy me this dress is because I've seen Arabelle wear a dress very similar (AND LOOKED TOTALLY RAD!), and Rookie used a dress similar for this amazing "Secret Style Icon: Weetzie Bat" post. Now can you see why I just couldn't resist?
This cardigan is another thing I'm quite in love with. Another terrific op-shop find I have to say, hehe :)
Make up is just great. I'm so in love with my black Lime Crime lippy, especially with this outfit! And I feel as if the orange eye shadow worked well because of the orange in my dress :)
I also believe my eyebrow game is going quite strong, don't you think? Yep, I'm still getting up earlier in the mornings to work on them, totally worth it though!
What I wore:
- Cardigan: Thrifted.
- Dress: Market thrifted.
- Lydia Deetz necklace: Handmade.
- Virgin Mary socks: Dangerfield.
- Platforms: Mum's wardrobe clean-out.

Reviews | Written by Julian White 15/10/2012
DVD Review: THE NIGHT CHILD
Review: The Night Child / Cert: 18 / Director: Massimo Dallamano / Screenplay: Massimo Dallamano / Starring: Richard Johnson, Joanna Cassidy, Ida Galli, Nicoletta Elmi / Release Date: October 29th
In the '70s, the phenomenal success of The Exorcist spawned a legion of imitations, many of them cranked out by the Italian exploitation industry, which in those days was still in overdrive. Among these pasta-possession flicks was The Night Child. Directed by Massimo Dallamano – best-known for his spicy S&M movie Venus in Furs – it mixes an Omen-style demon kid with an ancient curse, and plays the whole thing out against some gorgeously crumbly scenery. It's not The Exorcist, but it's still pretty buono.
The bambina in question is Emily (Italo-horror child star Nicoletta Elmi, and very scary she is too). Daughter of TV art historian Michael Williams (Johnson), Emily is deeply troubled following her mother's accidental (yeah, right) death in a fire. Concerned, Michael decides to take her with him to Italy, where he's making a documentary. There, he becomes fascinated by a mysterious painting whose imagery seems to echo what happened to his wife. Not so fascinated, though, that he doesn't find time to hop into bed with his very comely producer, Joanna (Cassidy). Emily resents Joanna, and before you know it weighty objects are toppling off shelves and at least one person goes hurtling off a cliff.
To be frank, the movie could do with a meatier pay-off and better-developed set-pieces, and for this reason gorehounds might well find it a disappointment. But it still has a lot going for it. Dallamano stirs some tasty ingredients into the pot – Freudian subtexts, reincarnation, an evil amulet, and a splendidly gloomy Contessa (Kedrova) who's good for tarot readings, murky exposition and dire warnings. The adult leads (one of those only-in-B-movies pairings) add to the charm with a surprisingly bubbly chemistry, with Cassidy (at this stage of her career somewhat like a slightly butch Sharon Stone) looking a treat in form-fitting pant suits and knee-high boots.
But then everything looks a treat. Dallamano started off as a cinematographer, and the film has some very distinctive visuals which show up nicely on this DVD release. An autumnal melancholy infuses all of the exterior scenes, shot on location in Umbria, and the interiors are just as good, especially the derelict castello which houses the satanic artwork – a place of weird, monumental furnishings half-hidden under rotting dust sheets. And for once in a horror film, the painting that all the fuss is about manages to appear reasonably authentic, too, a cut above the usual props department daub.
If you're after masses of sex and violence you've come to the wrong villa, but if you fancy checking out the work of one of the period's more thoughtful and technically adept Italian directors, then The Night Child should provide a decent evening's entertainment.
Extras: Exorcism Italian-Style, Original Italian trailer, Collector's booklet featuring new writing on the film by author and critic Calum Waddell, Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Graham Humphreys

Boat builder Nimbus, based in Sweden, is laying claim to being the first to offer an electrically powered boat for the commercial market. While we can't verify this claim, we can say the maker's new Nimbus 27 E-power 27-foot long cruiser is one nice looking ship which will soon be cruising the waters of your local waterway.
The Nimbus 27 E-power reportedly will have a cruising speed of around 22 knots and a top speed of 27 knots. The range of this all-electric boat is said to be up to around 20 nautical miles before needing a recharge. Charging time will take around four hours for a full charge, with an estimated lifetime on the battery to sustain for around 3,000 charges, or roughly 10 years of usage.
"Nimbus shall be the best in the world in the environment segment, " said Nimbus Boats managing director Magnus Andersson in a statement. "The electrically powered boat establishes our lead. We are now showing the way in the development of pro-environmental boats, without losing any comfort or performance."

3rd Island Dynamics Conference
with Performing Island Identities
15‒18 May 2013, Gazimağusa (Famagusta), North Cyprus
3rd Island Dynamics Conference Programme & Abstracts
At the 3rd Island Dynamics Conference, representatives from academia, government, business, and the third sector will explore island issues, past and present, worldwide. Although the conference will include talks on all aspects of maritime and island studies, this year's conference theme is islands of culture and practice. The conference is hosted by Eastern Mediterranean University's Center for Cyprus Studies.
Islands are often home to unique artistic, social, economic, and political traditions. They both preserve traditions that have been lost on the mainland and function as meeting places for traditions, the mingling of which result in new traditional forms. We can even speak of archipelagos of culture and practice, where traditions flourish in dispersed geographical areas. How do traditions develop in such circumstances, and what can island and mainland communities tell us about one another?
Alan Jabbour, Owe Ronström, Stephen A. Royle, and Adam Grydehøj will act as keynote speakers.
Call for papers.
The deadline for abstracts has now passed. However, abstracts will still be accepted

Your Public Library - The Neighborhood Jewel
While passing by the library as a teenager, the thought "Why would you want to go in there?" popped up in my head. After all, we are classically conditioned that the library is the place you would go to if you needed to do a research paper. Now as a mature adult, the library has become a favorite hang out for me and my family.
The services the library offers is incredible. if you are a person on an entertainment budget, this is the place for you. What is the first place you think of when you want to rent a movie, Blockbuster or Netflix? Most libraries offer movies on both DVD and VHS. You can find both classics and recent releases in their collection. They are free to take out for a week (late charges will apply. Trust me, I found out the hard way).
Are you frustrated with many of today's CD's? Are you looking to preview it before deciding to buy it? Are you looking to try out music from a different genre? Why not check your local library. Once I found out that libraries have music CD's for borrowing, I was hooked. Let me give you an idea of the variety of music that I have gotten over the years. I've found a Nina Simone remix album, the Wiz soundtrack, Eric Clapton and B.B. King - "Riding with the King," multiple Tito Puente albums, Michael Jackson's 25th Anniversary Thriller album, Blind Boys of Alabama, and No Doubt just to name a few. If you are looking for a specific artist or CD, the library makes it easy for you. Most libraries have automated online systems. You can search the catalogue to see if and where the CD/DVD/book is being held. The Pinellas County Library System (where I live) is awesome. Not only can you request the item, but you can request them to send it to your nearest library for you to pick up.
Library Usage
What other resources have you used from your public library?
The Many Things You Can Do At the Library
Audiobooks, Video Games, MP3 CDs
Today's society offers newer technology. The library has stepped up to the plate to meet these demands. Paperbacks have and will continue to be the standard for storing and selling information. However, the increasing demand to accomodate IPODs, ZUNEs, etc. have led to the increase of audiobooks in different formats. Many of your favorite dramas, romance novels, and self-help books can be found on MP3 CD's.They can be uploaded onto you computer and then transferred to your MP3 player (takes up less space than other formatted files, ie. WMA). For the person who may not have an MP3 player, yet is looking for the digital format, PLAYAWAY players are ideal for you. They are very small compact players that allow you to listen to a pre-loaded audiobook. This technology is becoming more and more widespread. Finally, for the old-school generation, audio cd's are available for most books so you can play them in car while you drive.
If you would like to play a certain video game before making the decision to go and buy it, why not borrow the title from the library first? You can find a host of Playstation, XBOX, and Nintendo Wii games for your playing pleasure. There are titles for young kids as well as the more advanced popular third person games.
There are many families in today's society that cannot afford the internet in their home. Well, no problem. Most libraries have computers available for one hour increments. Your son or daughter can type up their research paper. You can check your email. Your fantasy sports stats can be searched on the internet.
Different Events Happening at a Local Library
The library holds many great events to entertain your toddler and school-aged child. My daughter has been able to enjoy events such as weekly storytime. Puppet shows are held there from time to time. A traveling production company even stopped through and put on a spectacular production. During Halloween, kids were invited to stop by trick-or-treating stations after storytime and other fun activities.
My wife is a poet and poetry is found in a library. So, what better place is there to meet and have poetry readings.This a can be a great place to network with other talented writers. Many times these reading are fused into the various cultural events that are held.
So when you have time, go to your local library see the wonderful things that they have to offer. These services are economical, and both educational and entertaining at the same time. I promise if you open your mind, you will lose yourself in there for hours.

And Now He's Officially Retired: Sean Sherk Faces Reality After Years of Injury Struggles
The last time we saw Sean Sherk on the Octagon, he was getting his hand raised following a questionable decision victory against Evan Dunham at UFC 119. In the three years since then, Sherk has been busy rehabbing old injuries and waiting for his next move. That next move never came, and the former lightweight champion steadily faded out of relevance while the lightweight division he helped revive continued to grow deeper and more prominent.
It's possible that you assumed Sean Sherk — who turned 40 last month — was already retired, but "The Muscle Shark" (man, that nickname) didn't make it official until yesterday, when he announced his departure from the sport on The MMA Hour. A press release on TrainingMask.com adds that "Sherk plans to maintain his involvement at Training Mask while coaching MMA, and teaching seminars. Sherk is also continuing a successful career in real estate investment."
Sherk leaves behind a career-record of 36-4-1 dating back to 1999, including wins over Nick Diaz, Kenny Florian, Tyson Griffin, Hermes Franca, and Karo Parisyan, and a UFC lightweight title reign that lasted from October 2006 to December 2007. His only losses came against long-reigning UFC champions: Matt Hughes, Georges St. Pierre, BJ Penn, and Frankie Edgar.
But despite his accomplishments, Sean Sherk was never a fan favorite. Much of that could be blamed on his methodical, slow-grind wrestling approach to fighting — a style that crowds can't help booing, and which Sherk never really evolved beyond. And unfortunately, his stint as a UFC champion was also the most controversial period of his career.Read More DIGG THIS

Meeting on 23 March 2010
Adopts the following:
Decision on admissibility
1. The original author of the communication was Edith Loth, a German national, who died on 16 March 2008. The author's heirs, who are her three children, Ms. Suzanne Loth, Ms. Ingrid Loth and Mr. Andreas Loth, decided to pursue the communication before the Committee, since the alleged violation directly affects them. The authors claim to be victims of a violation by Germany1 of article 26 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. They are represented by counsel.
Facts as presented by the author
2.1 In 1946, the deceased's uncle received a plot of land under the land reform scheme initiated by the former German Democratic Republic (GDR). According to the 1945 Land Reform Decrees, the disposal of land acquired under this scheme could only be passed on to the new owner's heirs if they continued to use the land for agricultural purposes. Otherwise, the land was to be allocated to third parties or returned to the pool of State-owned land by the GDR authorities. On 29 March 1986, the deceased inherited the plot of land. During the period of the GDR and afterwards, the deceased's land has not been used for agricultural purposes but as a recreational facility by a community of interests with whom the deceased had signed a contract.
2.2 On 6 March 1990, the GDR Parliament passed a law on the rights of owners of land redistributed under the land reform scheme, which entered into force on 16 March 1990. The law removed all restrictions on the disposal of land acquired pursuant to the 1945 land reform. On 3 October 1990, upon German reunification, the Law of 6 March 1990 became an integral part of the law of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). On the same date, a new article 233, section 2, paragraph 1, of the Introductory Act to the Civil Code came into effect, confirming the status of ownership of land under the land reform scheme at that time.
2.3 On 14 July 1992, the FRG Parliament enacted a further amendment to the same Act. New article 233, section 12, paragraph 3, provides that the only persons who may inherit land acquired under the land reform scheme are those who on 15 March 1990 carried on agricultural activities, or worked in the forestry or food-industry sectors of the GDR, or had carried on an activity in one of the above sectors during the previous ten years. If this was not the case, title to the land in question was to revert without compensation to the tax authorities of the German region ('ÄúLander'Ä?) in which the land was situated. The idea of the FRG authorities was to 'Äúreestablish'Ä? the situation as 'Äúit should have been'Ä? if the GDR authorities had not failed to implement their own law prior to 15 March 1990.
2.4 On the basis of the amended Introductory Act to the Civil Code, on 28 July 1995, referring to the fact that the deceased had not used the land for agricultural purposes, the authorities requested the deceased to transfer the property without compensation. On 16 July 1997, the District Court of Frankfurt/Oder ordered the deceased to reassign her property. On 10 June 1998, the Brandenburg Court of Appeal dismissed the deceased's appeal against the decision of 16 July 1997. On 15 July 1999, the Federal Supreme Court dismissed her appeal against the decision of 10 June 1998. Finally, on 25 October 2000, the Federal Constitutional Court dismissed the deceased's appeal on the ground that there had been no breach of her fundamental rights.
2.5 The deceased brought the case to the European Court of Human Rights, claiming that the obligation to reassign her land to the tax authorities without compensation infringed her rights to the peaceful enjoyment of her possessions, guaranteed by article 1, of Protocol No.1, of the European Convention on the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (European Convention), as well as her rights not to be discriminated against, under article 14 of the European Convention, taken in conjunction with article 1, of the Protocol No. 1.
2.6 The deceased argued, in particular, that she had been discriminated against in comparison with three categories of persons: owners of land acquired under the land reform who had acquired their property as new farmers and were still alive on 15 March 1990; owners of land who had acquired it inter vivos before 15 March 1990; and, lastly, persons who had inherited the land between 16 March 1990 and 2 October 1990.
2.7 On 22 January 2004, the European Court delivered a judgment in which it held unanimously that there had been a violation of article 1 of Protocol No. 1 and that it was not necessary to examine the applicants' complaint under article 14 of the Convention taken in conjunction with article 1 of the Protocol No.1.2
2.8 On 14 June 2004, following the request by the German Government and in accordance with article 43 of the Convention and rule 73 of the Court, the case was referred to the Grand Chamber. On 30 June 2005, the Grand Chamber held that there had not been a breach of article 1 of Protocol No. 1, or of article 14 of the Convention taken in conjunction with article 1 of Protocol No.1. The Court concluded that in the unique context of German reunification, having taken into account both the uncertainty of the legal position of heirs in the Law of 6 March 1990, and the grounds of social justice relied on by the German authorities, the lack of any compensation did not upset the 'Äúfair balance'Ä?, which had to be struck between the protection of property and the requirements of the general interest.
The complaint
3.1 The authors allege a violation of the deceased'Äôs rights under article 26 of the Covenant, because along with 70,000 other persons, the so-called 'Äúnew settlers'Äô inheritors'Ä?, her property was confiscated without any compensation by the State party. They claim that the deceased, as one of these 'Äúnew settlers'Äô inheritors'Ä?, was discriminated against in comparison to persons belonging to a similar group, the so-called 'ÄúModrow purchasers'Ä?.3 They argue that while the deceased was forced to surrender her property without compensation, the 'ÄúModrow purchasers'Äô'Ä? right to their property was comprehensively protected by the various laws enacted during the same period of time. They base the comparability of the two groups of persons, the 'Äúnew settlers inheritors'Ä? and the 'ÄúModrow purchasers'Ä? on the fact that the laws affecting these two groups regarding their property rights were passed within one day of the other i.e. 6 and 7 March 1990, respectively.
3.2 The authors claim that the German reservation to article 5 paragraph 2 (a) of the Optional Protocol does not apply in the present case, as the European Court of Human Rights, in its decision of 30 June 2005, did not examine the 'Äúsame matter'Ä? within the meaning of the State party'Äôs reservation. They argue that the main focus of the case brought to the European Court was the violation of the deceased'Äôs right to property, in accordance with article 1, of Protocol No.1. In addition, the deceased claimed to have been discriminated against, under article 14 of the Convention, in conjunction with article 1, of Protocol No.1, compared with three categories of new settlers inheritors mentioned in the Section 233 (12) of the Introductory Act to the Civil Code. However, in the present complaint to the Committee, the authors stress that they are not asserting a violation of the deceased'Äôs property rights but a breach of her right under article 26 of the Covenant. Unlike article 14 of the European Convention, article 26 is a free-standing provision, which can be invoked independently of the other Covenant rights and offers a broader scope of protection than article 14 of the European Convention. The authors argue that the European Court only examined the deceased'Äôs alleged discriminatory treatment against other 'Äúnew settlers inheritors'Ä?, and not the claim of discrimination compared with the 'ÄúModrow purchasers'Ä?.
3.3 The authors also claim that the reservation made by Germany under article 5, paragraph 2 (a), regarding the Committee'Äôs competence ratione temporis is irrelevant, as the pertinent events occurred after 25 November 1993, date of the entry into force of the Optional Protocol for the State party. These events are the legal provisions contained in the Split Property Settlement Act of 21 September 1994 and the Law Preserving the Modernisation of Living Spaces of 23 June 1997, which are the basis of the preferential treatment granted to the 'ÄúModrow purchasers'Ä?.
3.4 The authors further claim that the German reservation regarding article 26 of the Covenant, is invalid as it is particularly extensive and limits the scope of the Committee to a disproportionate extent. This reservation is incompatible with the object and purpose of the Optional Protocol, if not the Covenant itself, as it seeks to limit the State party's obligations under article 26 in a manner inconsistent with the Committee's interpretation of that provision as a free-standing right. They argue that no reservation can be made to a substantive obligation under the Covenant through the vehicle of the Optional Protocol4. They recall that the Committee had expressed regrets about the State party's reservation in its concluding observations on the fourth periodic report of Germany. Further, they state that the State party has no legitimate interest in upholding its reservation, after having signed Protocol No. 12 to the European Convention, 5 which contains a general prohibition of discrimination. The authors conclude that the reservation being invalid, the Committee is not precluded from examining their claim under article 26.
State party's observations on admissibility
4.1 On 27 March 2008, the State party submitted its observations on the admissibility of the communication, arguing that, on the basis of the German reservation, it is inadmissible ratione materiae because of the prior consideration of the 'Äúsame matter'Ä? by the European Court of Human Rights.
4.2 The State party notes that the European Court has considered the 'Äúsame matter'Ä?, as it concerned the same claim based on similar facts. As in the present communication, the deceased requested the European Court to find that she had been a victim of discrimination because the group of persons to which she belongs was dispossessed of their property without compensation and for no objective reasons, unlike other groups of owners. It notes that the deceased'Äôs claim was thoroughly and comprehensively examined by the European Court. It recalls the Court'Äôs conclusion that no discrimination occurred as the provisions of the law in question were in fact properly and reasonably based. The State party argued that the examination by the Committee under article 26 of the Covenant would lead to the same conclusion as on the basis of the German reservation, the extent of protection of article 26 goes no further than the protection under article 14 of the European Convention. In this regard, the State party referring to the inadmissibility decision in Rogl v. Germany,6 observes that the authors failed to substantiate their claim on the difference of the scope of protection between article 26 of the Covenant and article 14 of the Convention.
4.3 The State party submits that the German reservation aims to prevent duplication of international control procedures, conflicting decisions under such procedures and 'Äúforum shopping'Ä? by complainants.
4.4 It observes that the new comparison group of the 'ÄúModrow purchasers'Ä? referred to by the authors in the present claim has never been mentioned before. As the authors failed to litigate this argument at the national level, the State party considers that the submission is thus also inadmissible on the ground of non-exhaustion of domestic remedies. .
4.5 The State party submits that the claim is inadmissible ratione temporis in accordance with its reservation under article 5, para. 2 (a) of the Optional protocol. The origin of the alleged violation is the Law of 14 July 1992, which introduced the new article 233, section 12, paragraph 3, to the Introductory Act to Civil Code of 1992. It argues that the authors' claim that discrimination resulted from the laws of 1994 and 1997 is ill founded and only serves the purpose of circumventing the reservation.
4.6 Lastly, the State party observes that its reservation regarding article 26 is valid and must be observed under international law, and the Human Rights Committee recognized it as such.7 Thus, the Committee is precluded from considering this claim, as it is based solely on article 26.
Comments by the author
5.1 On 14 May 2008, the authors reiterate their previous claims.
5.2 On the issue of the 'Äúsame matter'Ä? having been examined by the European Court, the authors argue that the scope of protection between article 14 of the European Convention and article 26 of the Covenant are different, as is their jurisprudence. They emphasize that their free-standing claim of discrimination has not been, and could not have been, considered by the European Court, in accordance with the established case law of the Committee.8 Therefore, the Committee is not precluded from examining these claims on the basis of the State party'Äôs reservation.
5.3 The authors argue that the issue of discrimination was brought before the domestic legal authorities, and thus remedies have been exhausted. The deceased'Äôs constitutional complaint included the allegation of a violation of article 14 (protection of property) and of article 3 (basic right to equality/non discrimination) of the Constitution of the State party, including with regard to the comparison group of the 'ÄúModrow purchasers'Ä?.
5.4 Regarding the State party's argument that the origin of the alleged violation is the 1992 law, the authors argue that infringements of rights do not come into being until the general legal basis is substantiated and individualized for a person by an administrative or judicial legal act. They argue that it was only with the 1995 claim against the deceased, the subsequent court decisions and other legal acts forming the basis of the discriminatory treatment (1994 and 1997 laws) that their rights were infringed.
Issues and proceedings before the Committee
6.1 Before considering any claim contained in a communication, the Human Rights Committee must, in accordance with rule 93 of its rules of procedure, decide whether or not the communication is admissible under the Optional Protocol to the Covenant.
6.2 The Committee notes that the State party has invoked its reservation to article 5, paragraph 2 (a) of the Optional Protocol, precluding the Committee from examining communications, 'Äúwhich have already been considered under another procedure of international investigation or settlement.'Ä? The Committee has to assess whether the 'Äúsame matter'Ä? has indeed been considered during the proceedings before the European Court.
6.3 The Committee recalls its jurisprudence that the 'Äúsame matter'Ä? within the meaning of article 5, paragraph 2 (a), must be understood as relating to the same author, the same facts and the same substantive rights.9 It observes that Application no. 72552/01 was submitted to the European Court by the same author, was based on the same facts and related to the right of non-discrimination on the same grounds.
6.4 The Committee also recalls that the independent right to equality and non-discrimination in article 26 of the Covenant provides greater protection than the accessory right to non-discrimination contained in article 14 of the European Convention,10 which has to be claimed in conjunction with another right protected under the Convention or its relevant Protocols. However the Committee notes that the authors are claiming to have been broadly discriminated against on the basis of the deceased'Äôs property title. It also notes that the European Court has examined whether the deceased was discriminated against in connection with the enjoyment of her property. To do so, the Court examined and assessed the treatment made by the legislator with respect to her property title and compared it with treatment of other categories of 'Äúnew settlers'Äô inheritors'Ä?. The fact that the Court did not consider whether the deceased was discriminated against in comparison to an entirely separate category of property owners, 'Äúthe Modrow purchasers'Ä?, who bore no relationship to the deceased, does not detract from the fact that the same substantive issue was considered by the Court. Consequently, the Committee concludes that the 'Äúsame matter'Ä? has been considered by the European Court, within the meaning of the State party'Äôs reservation. It follows that the Committee is precluded by the State party'Äôs reservation to article 5, paragraph 2 (a), of the Optional Protocol from examining the present communication.
6.5 Under these circumstances the Committee does not need to address the permissibility and applicability of the other dispositions contained in the State party's reservation to the Optional Protocol.
7. The Human Rights Committee therefore decides:
(a) That the communication is inadmissible under article 5, paragraph 2 (a) of the Optional Protocol;
(b) That this decision shall be communicated to the State party and to the author.

Individual opinion of Committee members, Mr. Rafael Rivas Posada and Mr. Fabi√°n Omar Salvioli (dissenting)
Having examined the communication Loth v. Germany, the Committee decided that it was inadmissible under article 5, paragraph 2 (a), of the Optional Protocol. It justified this decision by what we deem to be a misinterpretation of this provision, insofar as it recalled its jurisprudence that grounds for declaring a communication inadmissible exist when another international body has examined the same matter and found the same complaint to be inadmissible. In the instant case, in order to seek the application of its reservation to article 5, paragraph 2 (a), of the Optional Protocol, to the effect that the Committee shall not be competent when the same matter has been considered by another international body, the State party argued that the European Court of Human Rights had examined the same case and had concluded as to its inadmissibility.
We are of the opinion that the letter and spirit of the above-mentioned paragraph clearly establishes that these grounds of inadmissibility exist solely when the matter is being examined by another international body at the time when the Committee embarks on its consideration thereof. This means that the matter is currently under examination by the international body other than the Committee and not that it has been decided in the past. The wording of the English and French versions of article 5, paragraph 2 (a), of the Optional Protocol is sufficiently clear as to leave no room for any doubt. The English text lays down as grounds for admissibility that 'Äúthe same matter is not being examined under another procedure of international investigation or settlement'Ä? (our underlining) and the French text states in this respect that 'Äú[l]a m√™me question n'Äôest pas d√©j√Ý en cours d'Äôexamen devant une autre instance internationale d'Äôenqu√™te ou de r√®glement'Ä? (our underlining). An error of translation certainly occurred in the Spanish version, since it speaks of admissibility when 'Äú[e]l mismo asunto no ha sido sometido ya a otro procedimiento ...internacional'Ä? (when the same matter has not been subject to another international procedure) thus opening up the possibility, of which some States have availed themselves, of interpreting grounds of inadmissibility as solely referring to the submission in the past of the same matter to another international body and not, as is correct, to its contemporaneous consideration by that body. In view of this error of translation, the Committee has repeatedly decided that the English and French versions must take precedence over the erroneous Spanish text, but in requiring [as grounds for inadmissibility] examination of the matter by the other international body, it has accepted that this examination may have taken place in the past, in contradiction of the unequivocal text of article 5, paragraph 2 (a), of the Optional Protocol.
For the above reasons, we are of the opinion that the Committee should have declared the communication Loth v. Germany to be admissible, without prejudice to a decision on the alleged violation of article 26 of the Covenant by the State party.

1 The Covenant and the Optional Protocol to the Covenant entered into force for Germany on 17 March 1974 and 25 November 1993, respectively. Upon ratification of the Optional Protocol, the State Party entered the following reservation: 'ÄúThe Federal Republic of Germany formulates a reservation concerning article 5 paragraph 2 lit. (a) to the effect that the competence of the Committee shall not apply to communications (a) which have already been considered under another procedure of international investigation or settlement, or (b) by means of which a violation of rights is reprimanded having its origin in events occurring prior to the entry into force of the Optional Protocol for the Federal Republic of Germany, or (c) by means of which a violation of article 26 of the [said Covenant] is reprimanded, if and insofar as the reprimanded violation refers to rights other than those guaranteed under the aforementioned Covenant.'Ä?

3 On 7 March 1990, the GDR parliament adopted the Law on the Sale of State-owned Buildings, which entered into force on 19 March 1990. The law allowed private persons, the 'ÄúModrow purchasers'Ä?, to purchase both state-owned buildings and parcels of land at very low prices. The deceased was not such a purchaser. On 21 September 1994, the FRG Parliament adopted the Split Property Settlement Act, which allowed the 'ÄúModrow purchasers'Ä?, to repurchase plots of land for half of their current market value, in the event that they had to retransfer them to the previous owners for various reasons.
