Implied pot odds, or simply implied odds, are calculated the same way as pot odds, but take into consideration estimated future betting.

CONT

Implied pot odds are similar to regular pot odds in the mathematical sense, with the exception that you add another variable in the formula. This new variable is the amount of bets you expect to win from your opponents. In other words, implied pot odds include what's in the pot and what you bet right now, plus any future amounts that you think could be added following your action.

The Court also distinguished between the legal right of redemption in foreclosure proceedings and a borrower's contractual right to reinstate a defaulted loan. By law, a defaulting borrower in foreclosure is entitled to redeem his or her property by paying the entire principal and interest due before confirmation of the sheriff's sale. When that happens, the lender has a legal duty to dismiss the foreclosure proceedings and may not condition that dismissal on payment of attorney fees. This differs from a contractual right to reinstate a loan. In that instance, the borrower typically pays only the amounts needed to make the loan current and continues all future payments on the previously agreed-upon schedule.

Extinguishment. The term has, in the law, no fixed, uniform and universal meaning, but varies with the subject matter to which it is applied; but usually it connotes the end of a thing, precluding the existence of future life therein, and has been defined generally as meaning a complete wiping out, destruction, or annihilation, and not a mere suspension; the destruction or cancellation of a right, power, contract, or estate; a discharge by operation of law; a termination; and, more specifically, as the annihilation or extinction of a right by its being consolidated with a greater or more extensive right; the extinction of a charge or equity by its passing into the hands of the owner of the lands charged; and it has been sometimes used in the sense of payment.("Corpus Juris Secundum", Vol. 35, p. 352)

OBS

(extinguishment; extinction:) Both words are nouns corresponding to the verb "to extinguish". If there is differentiation, it is that extinguishment refers to the process, and extinction to the resultant state.

A lease may be defined as a grant of the right to possession of the leased premises for a specified period of time commencing either immediately or at some ascertainable date in the future and ending at some point thereafter. A transaction is characterized as a lease rather than a grant when the owner or the grantor of the interest retains a "reversionary interest". In other words, possession of the leased premises reverts to the lessor on the termination of the lease. In order for the transaction to be characterized as a lease rather than a licence, the lessee's possession of the leased premises must be exclusive. If ultimate possession and control remain with the lessor, a licence rather than a lease will exist....("Real Estate and Landlord and Tenant", 1983-1984, p. 334)

A future interest is an interest in property in which the right to possession or enjoyment of the property is postponed to a future time. Nevertheless, it is a presently existing interest in the property and it is thus part of the total ownership of the property. The fact that a future interest is a presently existing interest implies that it confers present, as well as future, rights and obligations.(Anger & Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 335)

CONT

A doctrine of estates which measured interests in land in terms of duration and recognized that interests could arise successively as segments of an ultimate estate in fee simple invited the working out of a law of future interests. "A future interest may be described as an interest in land or other things in which the privilege of possession or of enjoyment is future and not present. It should be emphasized that the interest is an existing interest from the time of its creation, and is looked upon as a part of the total ownership of land or other thing which is its subject matter."

It was a way of life. It was the backbone of a society. And then the cod fishery off the east coast of Newfoundland collapsed. Taking stock traces the history leading up to the crisis and the calling for a moratorium of the northwest Atlantic cod fishery. It presents the key players in this complex and tragic story, focusing on those who are now trying to come to grips with an uncertain future. How did the calamity happen? What signals did we ignore? Did we chose the right model in setting up an industry? Ultimately, Taking Stock holds a message for the Canadian as well as the global community : In trying to attain economic success, we must recognize that there are limits to how far we can exploit nature's delicate ecosystems. Film produced in 1994 by the National Film Board of Canada.

Pension rights give rise to special difficulties in questions of spousal support. Under the Ontario Family Law Act, R. S. O. 1990, c. F. 3, a pension right must be valued as a capital asset that is an entitlement to a future income stream. After retirement, the pension changes from a capital asset into an income asset. When the pension is in pay, in a sense, the pension asset is being liquidated.

Des droits de pension de retraite soulèvent des problèmes particuliers dans le cas de la pension alimentaire. Aux termes de la Loi sur le droit de la famille, L.R.O. 1990, ch. F.3, un droit de pension de retraite doit être considéré comme un bien en capital qui représente un droit à un flux de revenu éventuel. À la retraite, la pension de retraite passe d’un bien en capital à un bien en revenu. Quand la pension de retraite est versée, dans un certain sens, les avoirs de retraite sont liquidés.

CONT

Pour se prémunir contre les risques financiers, les intervenants sur les marchés pétroliers (ou «traders» en pétrole) ont recours à des opérations sur les marchés à terme [...] Elles consistent à passer des ordres d'achats ou de ventes de quantités de pétrole «papier» dont très peu (environ 5 %) se solderont par une livraison effective de cargaison. Le principe est de compenser une opération réelle par une opération «baril-papier» inverse, aux mêmes conditions : un négociateur achète une cargaison de pétrole et, dans le même temps, vend l'équivalent de «barils-papier» sur le marché à terme. Ainsi, si le prix du brut a chuté et que le négociateur perd de l'argent à la revente du pétrole physique, il rachète le pétrole «papier» moins cher qu'il ne l'a vendu et réalise donc un bénéfice qui compense la perte subie sur le marché réel.

Possible, but not assured; doubtful or uncertain; conditioned upon the occurrence of some future event which is itself uncertain, or questionable.... this term, when applied to a use, remainder, devise, bequest, or other legal right or interest, implies that no present interest exists, and that whether such interest or right ever will exist depends upon a future uncertain event.(Black's, 5th ed. 1979, p. 290)

CONT

An interest may thus be said to be vested if, (a) it is limited to a person who is in existence, (b) it is limited to a person who is ascertained, and (c), it is limited to a person who is ascertained, and (c), it is not subject to a condition precedent. An interest is contingent or executory if it does not satisfy one of these three criteria, for in that case it is not presently capable of falling into possession upon the natural determination of all preceding interests.

Perhaps the best definition of a "sphere of influence" is that of Hall :... an understanding which enables a State to reserve to itself a right of excluding other European powers from territories that are of importance to it politically as affording means of future expansion to its existing dominions or protectorates, or strategically as preventing civilised neighbours from occupying a dominant military position".

CONT

From a doctrinal point of view a special place must be allotted to what has been called "zones of influence" or "spheres of interest". This name was given in the imperialist era to those territories which a State unilaterally proclaimed to be an area which it intended to bring under its sovereignty by gradually appropriating it through actual occupation, or which two (or more) States delimited inter se with the same purpose.

OBS

A "sphere of interest" differs only in direction of emphasis from a "sphere of influence". A State asserts a sphere of interest in a particular region when it claims to possess in that region exclusive economic or financial concessions or exclusive rights of exploitation, which it will not allow other Powers to exercise.

French

OBS

Des auteurs ont enseigné qu'entre le terme "sphère d'influence" et le terme "sphère d'intérêt" existent des nuances faibles sans doute mais cependant perceptibles : la sphère d'influence ferait songer plutôt à quelque but politique; la sphère d'intérêt, à quelque but économique ou commercial [...]
