Within a new agile working environment there are likely to be many different zones, and the newest is the touchdown area. This is a space which is designed to be used for short bursts of time only, usually no more than around an hour. For that reason, the touchdown area is mostly used by remote and flexible workers who are calling into the office to catch up or hand in work. It can also be used for meeting debriefs or quick catch ups, as well as checking emails.

The only reason this project deals with the law of security interests in investment securities is that the settlement rules have created a unique new form of property : the security entitlement. Consequently, full implementation of the proposed reforms will require conforming amendments to provincial PPSAs, and perhaps other provincial chattel security legislation, to deal with security interests in such property.

He who, after his ancestor dies intestate, has a right to all lands, tenements, and hereditaments which belonged to him or of which he was seised. The same as "heir general" ... [Black’s, 5th ed., 1979, p. 854].

CONT

The feudal rules of succession applied to find the heir were based on the succession of males in preference to females, on primogeniture among males, and on representation, whereby a descendant of a pre-deceased heir, e.g. a grandson, took in preference to a collateral of the deceased, e.g. a brother. An heir general or heir at law is such an heir. [The "Oxford Companion to Law," 1980, p. 559].

CONT

The reason why words of procreation were required was that "heirs, "extended to all the "heirs general, "including relatives other than descendants of the grantee, such as his brothers, uncles or cousins. An entail, however, was an interest which could pass only to lineal descendants of the original grantee(heirs special) and so "heirs" had to be restricted by the addition of words of procreation. [Megarry and Wade, p. 57].

Subject field(s)
  • Racquet Sports
DEF

Any stroke that for some reason is replayed without penalty. In an average game, only two types of let are encountered : 1) when called solely in respect of a service that one service only shall be replayed; 2) when called under any other circumstance, the point shall be replayed. For instance, a serve that nicks the top of the net, then bounces in the proper service court is to be replayed. By extension, also a call made by the umpire or by one of the players to indicate that a point should be replayed because of a stray ball rolling across the court. Sometimes the term "let" is mistakenly referred to as a "net serve". A "let" is also played if, for instance, the receiver of a service is not ready to start; if one player involuntarily hinders his opponent; or if a player is hindered in playing by an external agency.

CONT

Service lets. If, during t he serving process a let is called because the ball served touched the top of the net and fell in the service area, that serve, and that serve only is taken over again.

OBS

Caution: If the ball touches the net on a service, the net judge will call "net", or sometimes "filet"(French Open). The umpire, however, will call "let", since "let" is the official call he must make. This distinction is not always upheld in social play, where informally one hears the following expressions: "two", "take two", or "play two", i.e. take two serves since the first one touched the net (and landed in), "play one", "take one", "second serve", i.e. first serve touched the net and landed out. Moreover, for precision, the term "let" is sometimes qualified: service let.

PHR

To call, claim, play a let.

PHR

Service let.

PHR

Let call.

Coup ou service à rejouer.

CONT

Le let au service. Si la balle de service touche le filet et retombe en jeu, on ne rejoue que ce service. Dans tous les autres cas, le let implique la reprise du point.

CONT

[...] l'arbitre de chaise [...] est assisté de dix personnes, sans compter le juge de faute de pied et celui au filet chargé d'annoncer les balles let ou celles passant à travers ou sous le filet.

OBS

[...] l'arbitre [...] ordonne de rejouer le point quand un joueur a été gêné dans l'exécution d'un coup pour une raison indépendante de sa volonté; [... ou quand une] balle d'engagement, tombée dans la surface après avoir touché le filet, est à rejouer. [...]

OBS

«Let» : mot anglais prononcé par l'arbitre pour indiquer qu'un point est à rejouer, parce que la balle a touché le filet ou pour toute autre raison.

OBS

On ne dit «net» qu'à propos d'une balle de service qui touche la bande du filet. Mais le fait de rejouer le point est appelé un «let». Normalement, c'est le juge de filet qui dit «filet» ou «net» et l'arbitre ordonne un «let». S'il n'y a pas de juge de filet, l'arbitre devrait annoncer «net-let». Habituellement, il se contente de dire «let». Dans tous les cas autres que le service où il faut rejouer un point, la balle est annoncée «let». Voir aussi «net», «filet», ou «balle net».

DEF

[A test] in which treponemal antigens or intact cells are used to detect specific anti-treponemal antibodies which occur in the serum of patients suffering from syphilis (or pinta or yaws).

CONT

Treponema-specific tests... are used primarily to confirm the diagnosis of syphilis in patients with a reactive non-treponemal test.... Unlike non-treponemal tests, which show a decline in titers or become nonreactive with effective treatment, most treponema-specific tests usually remain reactive for life. Because of the persistence of reactivity, possibly for the life of the patient, treponemal tests are of no value to the clinician in determining relapse, reinfection, or treatment efficacy. Therefore, a reactive treponemal test result only indicates exposure to T. [Treponema] pallidum at some time during a person's life. It does not indicate that the person currently has an active syphilis infection. For this reason, a positive treponemal test result should be confirmed with a non-treponemal test.

Cantonese Style(Southern Region)... The Cantonese style is the most widely recognizable style in Chinese cuisine. Another reason for the Cantonese style's popularity is because the first emigrants to China landed on Canton and feasted on its meals, thereby solidifying Western ideas of Chinese food with Cantonese style cooking. As it is seen as the "only" type of Chinese food among Westerner's, to them it is considered to be the most diserable. Among actual Chinese, however, it is also considered to be the best and most diserable food available. Because of Canton's vast array of fresh products, Cantonese food is known as having a taste that is setting and pleasing to the pallet; Cantonese food is neither too hot nor too sour, but, rather, the perfect blend.

OBS

The Charlottetown Accord was a package of constitutional amendments, proposed by the Canadian federal and provincial governments in 1992. It was submitted to a public referendum on October 26 of that year, and was defeated. Unlike the Meech Lake Accord, the Charlottetown Accord's ratification process provided for a national referendum. Three provinces--British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec--had recently passed legislation requiring that constitutional amendments be submitted to a public referendum. As well, Quebec premier Robert Bourassa had pledged, contingent on the results of the Charlottetown negotiations, to hold a referendum that year on either Quebec independence or a new constitutional agreement. British Columbia and Alberta agreed to participate in the federal referendum, but Quebec opted to conduct its own separate vote.(For that reason, Quebeckers "temporarily" living outside the province could have two votes, since they were enumerated to the voters’ list based on federal rules, but people relatively new to Quebec could not vote at all because they had not established residency.) The Accord had to be approved not only by a majority of voters nationally, but also by a majority of voters in each province. If it failed in just one province, the accord would not pass.

L'Accord de Charlottetown était un projet de réforme constitutionnelle proposé par le gouvernement fédéral canadien et les gouvernements provinciaux en 1992. Le projet a été rejeté par les Canadiens par voie de référendum le 26 octobre 1992. Contrairement à l'Accord du lac Meech, le processus de l'Accord de Charlottetown était un référendum national. Trois provinces, la Colombie-Britannique, l'Alberta et le Québec, avaient récemment adopté des lois obligeant tous les amendements constitutionnels à être soumis par référendum. De plus, suite aux négociations de Charlottetown, le premier ministre du Québec d'alors, Robert Bourassa, a affirmé qu'il tiendra un référendum soit sur un nouvel accord constitutionnel ou soit sur un Québec indépendant. La Colombie-Britannique et l'Alberta ont accepté de participer au référendum fédéral, mais le Québec a choisi de faire son propre vote séparé. (Pour cette raison, les Québécois vivant temporairement à l'extérieur du Québec avaient la possibilité de voter deux fois et ce légalement.) L'accord ne devait pas seulement être approuvé par une majorité de citoyens, mais aussi par la majorité de voteurs de chaque province. Si une seule province n'obtenait pas le fameux «50 % + 1 vote» pour Charlottetown, l'accord ne serait pas adopté.

Generally, the law has considered itself fully extended by affording compensation only to persons immediately injured, such as the accident victim himself, without going to the length of compensating also third persons who, in consequence, incur expenses or lose their livelihood, support or expected benefits from their association with him. The reason for this is not so much that these claims are for pecuniary detriment as that the burden of compensating anyone besides the actual casualty is feared to be unduly oppressive because most accidents are bound to entail repercussions, great or small; upon all with whom he had family, business or other valuable relations.

  • Types of Aircraft
CONT

The orbital aircraft has the capability to fly suborbital missions without propellant transfer, to distances of 3, 000 to 6, 000 nautical miles, depending on the aerodynamic configuration This capability exists because the airframe is capable of independent takeoff and landing. This offers a transcontinental range for a number of alternate missions that are difficult to imagine for an air launch concept. For the same reason, the tanker and orbital aircraft may be based at different locations, and interfaced only in flight. This offers more basing flexibility and removes the requirements for specialized facilities and ground support equipment such as that needed to mate the Shuttle orbiter to its carrier aircraft.

The result of dividing "Total Payments" by "Total Injuries". Although this statistic provides some indication of the relationship between the number of workers’ compensation claims and the total amount paid, caution should be used in attempting to interpret "Compensation Quotient" as a variation on "Payment per Claim". The reason is that the compensation totals shown cover all claims in that year, regardless of the accident or entry year, while the number of injuries relate only to newly-reported claims in that year.

CONT

Condenser discharge exploders. Built-in hand-cranked A. C. generators are used to charge the condensers; the generated voltage is doubled by appropriate circuitry and converted to D. C. The machines are provided with safety devices to ensure that only the full condenser charge can be applied to the terminals and firing circuit. If owing to a mistake or a defect the machine is not fully charged, the terminals of the machine cannot be placed under tension, even when the firing switch is operated. If the machine is charged but then for some reason cannot be fired, the condenser will be automatically discharged internally over a built-in-high-ohm resistor. All precautions have been taken to prevent any danger to the operator. The terminals of all condenser discharge machines are coloured red.

Domaine(s)
  • Travail aux explosifs (Exploitation minière)
CONT

Aujourd'hui, avec la diffusion des détonateurs haute intensité et les grandes séries, on utilise aussi des exploseurs à condensateurs. Le principe est celui de la décharge d'un condensateur à tension élevée en quelques millisecondes. La charge du condensateur s'effectue préalablement par un accumulateur interne pendant un temps variable selon les modèles. Lorsque la tension de charge est atteinte, selon un signal lumineux, on peut déclencher l'envoi d'un courant dans la ligne de tir. Lorsque la charge s'effectue par une magnéto, la décharge peut être automatique.

Effective variance analysis requires not only the determination of variances but also a knowledgeable interpretation of these variances; in other words : it is not enough for management to know that a variance exists, the reason for the variance must be known in order to take appropriate action. Analysis of variances enables management to isolate the causes, to concentrate their attention on specific areas which have affected the profitability of the business and to assign responsibility for correction to the person or persons responsible.

OBS

cost variance: The difference between a budgeted cost or standard cost and comparable actual cost incurred during a period.
