Rebuilding of the eastbound tunnel started again in July 2008.
During this rebuilding of the eastbound tunnel, the westbound tunnel was only closed overnight for rebuilding.
New guard rails, fire sprinklers, and security cameras were added.
The whole tunnel was also cleaned very well.
Workers put a new road surface in the tunnel.
A German tile maker replaced the tiles.

was a old province of Japan in the area of Osaka Prefecture on the island of Honshū.
Kawachi province was established in the 7th century.
In the 8th century, Izumi was separated from the older province during the reign of Empress Genshō.
Maps of Japan and Kawachi Province were reformed in the 1870s.
Hiraoka jinja was the chief Shinto shrine (ichinomiya) of Kawachi.
The shrine is located in Higashiōsaka.
Karl Friedrich Schinkel (13 March 1781 – 9 October 1841) was a Prussian architect, city planner, and painter.
He also designed furniture and stage sets.
Schinkel was one of the most importat architects of Germany and designed both neoclassical and neogothic buildings.
Schinkel was born in Neuruppin, Brandenburg.
When he was six, his father died in Neuruppin's disastrous fire.
He became a student of architect Friedrich Gilly (1772–1800) (the two became close friends) and his father, David Gilly, in Berlin.
He made a trip to Italy in 1805.
Then he started to earn his living as a painter.
He worked for the stage and created in 1816 a star-spangled backdrop for the appearance of the "Königin der Nacht" in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera The Magic Flute.
When he saw Caspar David Friedrich's painting Wanderer above the Sea of Fog at the 1810 Berlin art exhibition he decided that he would never reach such mastery of painting and turned to architecture.
After Napoleon's defeat, Schinkel worked at the Prussian Building Commission.
In this position, he was not only responsible for reshaping the city of Berlin into a representative capital for Prussia, but also had to work projects in the expanded Prussian territories from the Rhineland in the west to Königsberg in the east.
From 1808 to 1817 Schinkel renovated and reconstructed Schloss Rosenau, Coburg, in the Gothic Revival style.
Schinkel's style was more influenced by Greek than by than Imperial Roman architecture.
His most famous buildings are found in and around Berlin.
These include Neue Wache (1816–1818), the Schauspielhaus (1819–1821) at the Gendarmenmarkt, which replaced the earlier theater that was destroyed by fire in 1817, and the Altes Museum (old museum, see photo) on Museum Island (1823–1830).
Schinkel, however, is famous as well for his theoretical work and his architectural drafts.
Some of his merits are best shown in his unexecuted plans for the transformation of the Athenian Acropolis into a royal palace for the new Kingdom of Greece and for the erection of the Orianda Palace in the Crimea.
These and other designs may be studied in his Sammlung architektonischer Entwürfe (1820–1837) and his Werke der höheren Baukunst (1840–1842; 1845–1846).
He also designed the famed Iron Cross medal of Prussia, and later Germany.

Hardwood is wood from deciduous trees and broad-leaf evergreen trees.
All hardwoods are angiosperms (flowering plants), the largest group of land plants.
Hardwood is contrasted to softwood, which comes from conifers, cone bearing seed plants.
Hardwoods are not always harder than softwoods, balsa wood being an example of this.
Hardwood trees are more varied than softwoods and there are about 100 times more species of hardwood than there are softwoods.
Hardwoods usually have broad leaves.
Hardwoods all have enclosed nuts or seeds, where softwoods are gymnosperms, naked seed plants.leis
Each species of hardwood has its own set of properties, however they have some properties in common.
Hardwoods normally have broad leaves and come from deciduous or broad-leafed evergreen trees.
Hardwoods grow slower than softwoods.
Evergreen softwoods grow faster than deciduous hardwoods, and can grow to a larger size.
Some hardwoods are excellent for carving.
One of the hardest hardwoods is black ironwood which is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the heaviest wood.
Ironwoods are so dense that they sink in water rather than float as other woods do.
The properties of the wood are caused by its structure.
Hardwoods have a denser structure, which is the reason they are usually harder and heavier.
Hardwood has xylem vessels which are used to transport water.
Their cell walls are strongly lignified: lignin is a hard material used to support plants above the surface.
The quantity of lignin is probably the main factor in their hardness.
Softwoods have a vascular structure which looks similar to a bunch of drinking straws held together.
They also have lignin, but of a slightly different type, and less of it than most hardwoods.
Species of hardwood
Common species of hardwood found in the USA, and Europe.
Many species are also found in other areas of the world.
This is not a complete list of all hardwood trees.
Uses of hardwood
The use of hardwood is much reduced in the modern world.
The destruction of tropical and temperate forests has made it expensive and scarce.
Many things once made of hardwood are now made of ceramics, plastic or softwood.
Hardwoods are often used to make items that get used a lot because of their density.
These items include furniture, flooring, and utensils.
They are also used in construction.
Hardwoods are also less likely to decay or rot than softwoods.
Furniture made by hardwood joinery is more expensive than that made from softwoods.
Utensils for use in preparing food can include things such as the vessel in the gallery below used by the Ede people to grind corn and grains for food.
Other utensils include: spoons, chopsticks, bowls, plates and cups.
Because of the dense nature of the wood used such a vessel can be used for many years without breaking.
Other examples include the handle of the Luzon knife seen in the gallery.
Because of the nature of sound transmission provide a good wood for musical instruments such as violins, guitars, pianos and hand drums such as the Djembe drum pictured in the gallery below.
Flooring is often made of hardwood because it can stand up to years of people walking on it with their shoes.
An example is the flooring made from tiger-wood seen in the gallery below.
Hardwoods are also used to make wood veneers to glue over other, cheaper woods, making them less expensive than solid hardwood while still giving them the appearance of a particular species of wood.
This has become a common way of using tropical hardwoods that have a limited supply of trees due to deforestation occurring in many tropical countries.
In Europe, hardwoods account for 29% and softwoods 71% of wood consumption.
Hardwood has very short fibers about 1mm in length and is so also used to make fine paper such as writing paper, tissue, and printing paper.
Paper with longer fibers such as paper bags, cardboard and shipping containers is made of softwoods.

HM Prison Pentridge was an Australian prison built in 1850 in Coburg, Victoria.
The first prisoners arrived in 1851.
The prison was closed on 1 May 1997.
Pentridge was often known by the nicknames "The Bluestone College", "Coburg College" or the "College of Knowledge".
Since closing, much of the prison has been pulled down to make way for a housing development.
Large buildings have been built and a 16 floor modern apartment block is being planned.
The northern section of the prison being developed by Valad Property Group and the other areas by Pentridge Village.
The National Trust does not like the development plans approved by Heritage Victoria.
These plans include taking down sections of the outside walls and building apartments between the historic prison buildings.

Jika Jika, opened in 1980 at a cost of AU$7 million.
It was a 'gaol within a gaol', designed to hold Victoria's toughest and longest serving prisoners.
It was awarded the 'Excellence in Concrete Award' by the Concrete Institute of Australia.
It was closed after the deaths of five prisoners in 1987.
Jika Jika had six separate units each at the end of radiating spines.
It had electronic doors, closed-circuit television and remote locking.
This meant it could use less staff but still have maximum security.
The furnishings were sparse and prisoners exercised in escape proof yards.
In 1983 four prisoners escaped from ‘escape proof’ Jika Jika.
When two prison officers were disciplined in relation to the Jika Jika escape a week-long strike occurred.
1987 Jika Jika prison fire
Inmates Robert Wright, Jimmy Loughnan, Arthur Gallagher, David McGauley and Ricky Morris - from one side of the unit - and Craig 'Slim' Minogue and three other inmates on the other side sealed off their section doors with a tennis net.
Mattresses and other bedding were then stacked against the doors and set on fire.
They covered windows in the day room with paper so the prison officers could not see which prisoners caused the damage.
Prisoners Robert Wright, Jimmy Loughnan, Arthur Gallagher, David McGauley and Ricky Morris died in the fire.
Convicted Russell Street bomber Craig Minogue and three other inmates survived as they were evacuated when the fire started.
Grave sites
The graves of executed prisoners were unmarked in a corner of the prison.
In 1929, 32 bodies were moved from the Melbourne Gaol during the building of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology.
These graves were found in 2008.
The skeleton of bushranger Ned Kelly was among those discovered.
There were 11 executions at Pentridge.

Curaçao is an island country in the Caribbean Sea.
It is one of the ABC islands and is just a short distance north of the Venezuelan Paraguaná Peninsula, and it forms a part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
The largest ethnic group belongs to the Afro-Caribbean group with about 85% of the entire population (also includes mulattos).
The remaining 15% are people of mainly European (mainly Dutch) descent, but there are also Indonesians, Colombians, Venezuelans, and others.
Papiamentu, Dutch, and English are the three official languages of Curaçao.
Papiamentu is by far the most spoken language while sizable minorities speak the other two official languages.
Curaçao has a tropical climate.
The temperatures are usually constant.
The trade winds bring cool breeze during the day and the same trade winds bring warmth during the night.
The coolest month is January with an average of 26°C in temperature and the warmest month is September with an average temperature of 28.9 °C (84 °F).
The year's average maximum temperature is 31°C.
The year's average minimum temperature is about 25°C.
The island broke off from the Netherlands Antilles in 2010.
It has a very long history set all the way back to the 1800s.
Ox Mountain () is a story by the Chinese philosopher Mencius.
In his time this mountain was in very bad shape, and everybody knew how it looked.
Here is the story:
Mencius said, "The woods on Ox Mountain were once beautiful!
On account of its being on the edge of a large country, it had been attacked with axes and hatchets, and then how could it remain beautiful?
The refreshing breezes of day and night, and the moisture provided by rain and fog, did not fail to give rise to sprouts of vegetation.
But cows and sheep have been repeatedly pastured there, and for that reason it has remained desolate.
People observe its denuded state and assume that it never had any good resources.
But how could this state be the true nature of this mountain?" —
Mencius, 6A:8
Mencius argued that "bad" human natures were produced just as the bad condition of Ox Mountain had been produced, so the answer to "bad" humans was to protect and nurture them from birth.
He also thought that punishment does not do much good.
It does not cure the root of the problem.
A human zoo was an exhibition that showed people from other cultures.
Very often, this was done in similar ways than animals are shown in zoological gardens today.
Most such exhibitions were done between 1870 and 1940.
Human zoos attracted many people in Europe.
They were often based on the idea of unilinealism, scientific racism and social Darwinism.
Unilinealism or unilineal evolution is the idea that evolution happens only in one direction; some animal will be "at the peak" of evolution.
Because of these ideas, some human zoos placed indigenous people (particularly Africans) in a continuum somewhere between the great apes and humans of European descent.
Ethnographic zoos have since been criticized as highly degrading and racist.
Rye Beach is a community in the U.S. state of New Hampshire.
It used to be called Pannaway.

It is along New Hampshire Route 1A, near the south of a town named "Rye".
In the community, there is a hostel.
It is called the "Ocean house" and it was built in 1884.
When it was built, it was small, but over time, it reached 4 stories and it had room for 250 guests.
It was called the Philbrick Hotel when it was first built, but an Admiral called David Farragut visited the hotel, so it sometimes was called "Farragut House".

Daniel Clive Wheldon (22 June 1978 – 16 October 2011) was a British motor racing driver.
He was the 2005 Indy Racing League IndyCar Series champion.

He was killed at the age of 33, in a 15-car crash at the IZOD IndyCar World Championship.
Early life and start of career
Wheldon was born in Emberton, near Olney, Buckinghamshire, England.
He started go-kart racing at the age of four.
At the beginning of his career in open wheel racing, he had a rivalry with Jenson Button before he left the United Kingdom to start racing in the United States.
He moved to the U.S. because he thought the chance for success there were greater than in the UK.
He moved to the United States in 1999.
He spent many years racing in lower open-wheeled circuits like the U.S. F2000 Championship Series, the Toyota Atlantic series and the Indy Lights series before moving to a higher series.
IRL IndyCar Series
In 2002, Wheldon moved up to the IRL IndyCar Series for two races.
He drove for Panther Racing with his teammate Sam Hornish Jr. In 2003, he joined Andretti Green Racing, winning the Rookie of the Year award.
In 2004, he won his first IRL race at Twin Ring Motegi in Japan.
He finished the 2004 season second in points with three wins.
In 2005, Wheldon won the Indianapolis 500.
He finished the season first in points winning the IndyCar Series championship.

He went on to drive for Chip Ganassi Racing in the 24 Hours of Daytona, winning the race with Ganassi teammates Scott Dixon and Ganassi NASCAR driver Casey Mears.
Wheldon began the 2006 IndyCar season by winning the race at Homestead–Miami Speedway.
This was a sombre race, as Paul Dana had died earlier while practising for the race.
At the end of the 2006 IndyCar season, he and Sam Hornish Jr. were tied for the lead in the points.
They both had 475 points.
Hornish had four wins for the 2006 season, and Wheldon only had two.
Because Hornish had more wins than Wheldon, he was made the 2006 Indy Car Champion.
The BMW Sauber Formula One team gave Wheldon the chance to drive for them, but he turned down their offer.
They could not give him a ride for the whole season, so he decided to continue to focus on Indy.
On 22 June 2008, Wheldon won his 15th IndyCar Series race in the Iowa Corn Indy 250.
He donated all of the money he won to help the victims of the tornadoes and flooding which had just happened in Iowa.
On 2 September 2008, Wheldon left Chip Ganassi Racing.
He was replaced by Dario Franchitti.
He had chosen to return to Panther Racing.
He finished second in the 2009 Indianapolis 500.
However, Wheldon did not finish in the top 10 in seven of the last eight races of the year.
The next year, he ran well again at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, finishing second.
He finished the 2009 season 9th in the series points.
He ran well with Panther racing in 2009 but he did not win a race during his time with the team.
Panther Racing decided to replace Wheldon with J. R. Hildebrand.
He raced in the 2011 Indianapolis 500 with Bryan Herta Autosport, winning the race after J. R. Hildebrand crashed going into the final turn.
He was very emotional after winning the race.
He did not have a ride for the rest of the season.
He was also worried about his mother who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
He dedicated his win to his mother.
It was his first series win in three seasons.
On 16 October 2011, Wheldon was part of a 15-car wreck on lap 11 of the IZOD IndyCar World Championship at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
His car went into the air and hit the catch fence.
He was taken by helicopter to the hospital.
When he was taken to the hospital, he was declared dead from blunt force trauma to the head.
He was 33.
He is buried at the Calvary Catholic Cemetery in Clearwater, Florida.
Wheldon was a guest star in the voice cast for the TV series Hot Wheels Battle Force 5.

Ferdinand VI (Fernando; 23 September 1713 – 10 August 1759) was a King of Spain July 1746 until his death in 1759 aged 49 He was the fourth son of the previous monarch Philip V and his first wife Maria Luisa of Savoy.
The third Bourbon to rule Spain, he died childless and his half brother Charles became king.
Born at the Royal Alcazar (Royal Palace) of Madrid, he was the youngest son of Philip V of Spain and his wife Queen Maria Luisa.
His parents enjoyed a loving relationship, Ferdinand being their fourth child.
However, his mother died in 1714 and the king married again, this time to Elisabeth Farnese, a niece of the Duke of Parma.
Queen Elisabeth was a domineering woman who ruled her husband.
As such, the new queen would have a further seven children including Ferdinand's own successor Charles III.
Ferdinand was by temperament melancholy, shy and distrustful of his own abilities.
When complimented on his shooting, he replied, "It would be hard if there were not something I could do."
Shooting and music were his only pleasures, and he was the generous patron of the famous singer Farinelli, whose voice soothed his melancholy.
As the younger son, his brother Louis, Prince of Asturias was heir to the throne.
However, Louis died aged sixteen in 1724 having reigned for a mere eight months.
As such Ferdinand became Prince of Asturias and heir to the throne.
On 20 January 1729, Ferdinand married Barbara of Portugal, daughter of John V of Portugal and Maria Anna of Austria.
This marriage further cemented a union with Portugal who had engaged Barbara's brother to Ferdinand's half sister.
The very homely looks of his wife were thought by observers to cause the prince a visible shock when he was first presented to her.
Yet he became deeply attached to his wife, and proved in fact nearly as adoring of her as his father was of Queen Maria Luisa.
When he came to the throne, Spain found itself in the War of the Austrian Succession which ended without any benefit to Spain.
He started his reign by getting rid of the influence of the widow Queen Elisabeth and her Italian courtiers.
As king he followed a firm policy of neutrality in the war between France and Britain, and refused to be tempted to join the war by the offers of either.
The most important tasks during the reign of Ferdinand VI were carried out by the Marquis of Ensenada, the Secretary of the Treasury, Navy and Indies.
He suggested that the state help modernise the country.
To him, this was necessary to maintain a position of outward strength so that France and Great Britain would consider Spain as an ally without supposing Spain's renunciation of its claim to Gibraltar.
Plans for modernising Spain included a new Treasury; the stimulation of commerce in the Americas; modernising the Navy; improving relations with the church and ensuring cultural progress.
The death of his wife Barbara, who had been devoted to him, and who carefully abstained from political intrigue, broke his heart.
Between the date of her death in August 1758 and his own in August 1759, he fell into a state of prostration in which he would not even dress, but wandered unshaven, unwashed and in a nightgown around his park.
He was buried at the Convent of the Salesas Reales, Spain.
23 September 1713 – 31 August 1724 His Royal Highness The Infante Don Fernando of Spain
31 August 1724 – 9 July 1746 His Royal Highness The Prince of Asturias
9 July 1746 – 10 August 1759 His Majesty The King of Spain
The Neue Wache () is a building in central Berlin, the capital of Germany.
It is located on the north side of the Unter den Linden.
The Neue Wache was designed by the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel, was built in 1816 and is a leading example of German neoclassicism.
Originally it was built as a guardhouse for the troops of the Crown Prince of Prussia, the building has been used as a war memorial since 1931.
King Frederick William III of Prussia ordered the construction of the Neue Wache as a guard house for the nearby Palace of the Crown Prince, to replace the old Artillery Guard House.
He commissioned Schinkel, the leading exponent of neoclassicism in architecture, to design the building: this was Schinkel's first major commission in Berlin.
"The National Memorial to the Victims of War and Tyranny: From Conflict To Consensus", lecture with handout and bibliography by Harold Marcuse, covers history since 1816.

Transitivity in grammar is about whether a verb has an object or not.
A transitive verb has an object; an intransitive verb does not.p1051 Examples:
Transitive:
We really enjoyed the trip.
She read the book.
What did you throw?
Intransitive:
A transitive verb is an action verb.
It expresses something doable (something possible to do).
The direct object is something or someone who is the receiver of the action (verb).
In the first two examples above, the 'trip' and the 'book' are the direct objects. '
Enjoyed' and 'read' are the transitive verbs.
Audio description is an additional track of narration.
It is targeted at visually impaired or blind consumers of television, dance, opera, movies or other visual art.
In these tracks, a narrator talks through presentation and makes a description about what's happening during natural pauses in audio.
Descriptive video service (DVS) is used for the DVDs of certain movies as part of the audio description.
Teak is the common name for the tropical hardwood tree Tectona grandis and its wood products.
Tectona grandis is native to south and southeast Asia and grows in many countries.
It has been introduced to Africa and the Caribbean.
Burma produces nearly one third of the world's total teak.
The word teak comes from the Malayalam word theka or tekka.
This tree is mentioned in the seventh-century literature of the Tamil language known as the Tevaram.
Tectona grandis is a large deciduous tree that is dominant in mixed hardwood forests.
It has small, fragrant white flowers and papery leaves that are often hairy on the lower surface.
Reel-to-reel tape recorders (often called R2R, Open reel decks, etc.)
were used during the 20th century, mostly in professional studios from the 1940s and quickly spread into people’s homes in the 1950s and 1960s.
The biggest popularity was in the 1970s, probably because people needed higher quality recordings.
This technology was like a revolution, because everyone could record any kind of sound (vinyl records, radio broadcast, voice and music), then play it many times without the quality getting worse, and they could overwrite it many times.
This technology has some weak points though: size of reels, sensibility, durability; but still, it has certain advantages over today’s “digital media formats.”
Also, some famous bands and artists used reel to reel technology as a musical instrument  or even as a separate band.
These reel to reel decks are usually analogue sound devices using a magnetic tape of ¼ inch (i.e. 6.25 cm) width.
This plastic tape is covered by a special magnetic substance which is being made into magnetic domains when it is being recorded.
The tape recorder must have a record, playback and an erase head which transfer the signal onto the tape.
The more expensive tape decks have three or six separate heads.
Tape recorders combine knowledge both on mechanics and electronics.
There must be very precise motors and moving parts, but also a complicated circuit board.
It has to contain transistors, amplifiers etc.
Playback (play)
Tape speed
The tape speed  is one of the things that finds out the playback time.
This table gives information on tape speed and the playback time with an 18 cm reel.
Major producers
There were many producers during the era of tape recorders, such as Sony, Akai, Revox, Teac, Pioneer, Technics, Tesla and many others.
These producers usually had several product series', which were different in price and functions.
The best ones had digital programmable counters, reverse mechanic, electronic buttons, they could use big reels (such as 26.5 cm).
There was also a big selection of tape producers – Maxell, Basf (Emtec), Quantegy, Agfa, etc.
Reel-to-reel tape recorders in Czechoslovakia
There were only a few producers of tape recorders in Czechoslovakia.
The most important was Tesla, n.p.
The main development was realized in Tesla Pardubice, but the mass production was held in Tesla Přelouč.
Product numbers were in thousands pieces and tens of model lines.
One of the most popular decks was monophonic Tesla Sonet Duo (1959).
It was compact, portable and reliable.
The collectors of Tesla decks agree that probably the most progressive model was Tesla B73 Hi-Fi Stereo (1978) which provided the principles to the later models.
The supreme models were Tesla B115, B116 (1981) and Tesla CM130, CM160  (1986) which were able to compete with similar models made by world’s producers.
Still, there were (political) restrictions, so the best ideas and solutions could not be realized.
The manufacture finished in 1990 as this technology turned out to be out-of-date.
Comparing with computer
Tape recorders were one of the ways that you could store digital data.
Those with TTL control interface could be handled by special devices and data could be recorded as a sequence of tones of certain frequency.
Nowadays, this method is not very good, because the capacity of a reel is usually low.
Gym Class Heroes are an American hip hop band from Geneva, New York.
They are associated with other musicians, including but not limited to Patrick Stump and Adam Levine of Maroon 5.
On their album As Cruel as School Children is the song Cupid's Chokehold, which samples Breakfast in America by Supertramp.
The band's lead singer is Travie McCoy.
Artificial cranial deformation, also known as head flattening or head binding is when the skull of a human is changed forever, and on purpose.
It is done by changing how a child's skull grows by putting force on the skull.
Flat shapes, long shapes and round shapes can be used to do this.
It is done on young children.
This is because the skull is easier to shape at this time.
Usually, the shape that will be used to change the skull is attached about a month after the baby is born.
It stays on for around six months after this.
The practice has been most often used in native societies in the Americas, but there are examples from Asia and Europe.
The Toulouse deformation was caused by wrapping the head of the newborn, possible to protect it from damage.
In pre-modern societies the practice was surprisingly common.
Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination is an international treaty (agreement between countries) against racism and racial segregation as one of the series of international human rights law.
The United Nations adopted the convention on 21 December 1965 in response to the apartheid policy of South Africa at that time.
It came into effect on 4 January 1969.
As of April 2019, 88 countries agreed to follow the rules of the Convention, and 190 countries agree in principle.
The Convention defines what racial discrimination is, so that every country in the treaty can agree on how to define discrimination.
In Article 1 (the first agreement in the treaty) that racial discrimination is:  "any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying [getting rid of] or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life."
Article 4 of the Convention forbids encouraging any type of racism including hate speech and discrimination.
If a country agrees to the Convention, they must make hate speech and participation in hate groups illegal.
To make sure that countries follow this rule, the Convention also introduced Article 14, which allows complaints of discrimination to be heard by a committee.
Article 14 gives a person, or group of people, from any country who have suffered any discrimination against them because of their race, the right to submit a claim to a committee of the United Nations.
These complaints can influence the law in the countries of the people making complaints.
Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination
The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is a body of human rights experts who monitor the implementation of the Convention.
Eighteen independent human rights experts are members.
They are elected for four-year terms, with half the members elected every two years.
Nations that joined the treaty elect members by secret ballot.
Each nation is allowed to nominate someone from its nation to run for election to the Committee.
Nations that have joined the treaty must submit regular reports to the Committee telling the legislative [legal], judicial [court-based], policy and other measures they have taken to give effect to the Convention.
The first report is due within a year of the Convention being used in a country; afterwards, reports are due every two years or whenever the Committee requests.
The Committee carefully reads each report and discusses its concerns and recommendations to the nation in the form of "concluding observations."

The other is to prohibit the death penalty.
There are countries which ignore, or do not agree with, the optional protocols.
International Covenant on Civil and political Rights
economic, social and cultural rights are affirmed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
It is one of the most important treaties on the international human rights law.
This Covenant was adopted in 1966 together with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and entered into force in 1976.
Right to enjoy all human rights in this Covenant without any discrimination
Article 5~7.
Right to work with decent conditions and to equal payment for equal work.
Right to join a trade union and to strike action for decent conditions, including fair payment and holiday leave.

Right to the best possible standard of health.
Right to education; free primary education for all and equal access to secondary and higher education, which should also be as free as possible.
Education should aim to allow everyone to develop their personality as much as possible, and respect for human rights, tolerance and peace.
Right to enjoy culture and science.
International Convenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
Economic, social and cultural rights are a part of human rights.
In an important United Nations treaty called The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the countries in the United Nations agreed that every person in the world should have these rights.
Some examples of these rights include:
The right to education (school)
The right to work, with good pay, in a good, safe place to work
The right to strike (when workers strike, they decide together that they will not work any more until their bosses make things at work better - like giving them enough pay to live on, or making the work safer)
The right to housing
The right to Social Security
The right to be healthy
The right to an adequate standard of living (meaning a person has everything they need to survive, including water, food, clothing, enough money to pay for what they need, and somewhere safe to live).
These rights were already listed in the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
However, they were included again in the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights to make sure that giving people these rights would be the law all across the world.
A separate Covenant specifically on economic, social, and cultural rights was done for a reason.
These rights were not included in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
These two Covenants were kept separate because civil rights are thought to be protected strongly than economic, social and cultural rights.
A separate Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights was done to make it clear how important these rights are.
The Vickers machine gun (also known as the Vickers gun) was a machine gun that was used by the British Army from 1912 to 1968.
It was made by Vickers Limited.
The gun was very reliable.
It was one of the most commonly used weapons in the first world war.
The Albanian team did not take part in the next games between 1976 and 1988.
They returned for the 1992 games in Barcelona.
