Record 5 2013-06-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
CONT

The legislation relating to registration of title is directed to the manner in which the law and practice of conveyancing are to be adapted to the use of a centrally maintained register of title to land. As the use of the register has been extended, so the successive statutes mark the historical development of a system of conveyancing, commonly known as registered conveyancing, which approached maturity as part of the real property legislation of 1925. The result of that legislation, as respects registered land, is to produce on first registration a state insured, but nevertheless private, record of entitlement to legal estates in land, such record to be kept up to date in respect of subsequent transactions in accordance with the conveyancing technique for which the legislation provides.(26 Halsbury, 4th ed., p. 404).

OBS

Registered conveyancing must be distinguished from the system of registration of assurances practiced in parts of Yorkshire which merely records conveyances and devises in a public register. (Cheshire, 11th ed., 1972, p. 103)

Le Réseau de stations d'observation en altitude (GUAN) pour le (Système mondial d'observation du climat) SMOC, qui comprend environ 160 stations, et le réseau de stations d'observation en surface pour le SMOC (GSN) Global Surface Network), qui en comprend un millier, ont été conçus pour servir d'assise un réseau climatique mondial de qualité. En dépit d'accords nationaux d'exploitation, leur fonctionnement laisse cependant à désirer. Ainsi, plus de 35% des stations du GUAN n'ont pas fourni les observations requises au cours du dernier trimestre 1997.

Subject field(s)
  • Names of Events
  • National History
  • Labour and Employment
OBS

Canadians have worked in very diverse work-spaces throughout the 20th century. This photographic exhibition gives the viewer a closer look at these spaces and, more importantly, offers a perspective on the ordinary people who work within them. These people were not selected because of their fame or name, but for the ways in which they are representative of Canada and its economy, whether they are at work outdoors, underground, in a factory or in the home. These photographs were produced for many reasons : as a tool of communication; as a means for the government to promote and administer its programs; as a way for industry to advertise its achievements and thereby demonstrate corporate pride; to enable ordinary citizens to produce an historical and cultural record of a subject of personal importance to them.

OBS

Les Canadiens ont travaillé dans des lieux très diversifiés au cours du XXe siècle. Cette exposition de photographies permet de se familiariser avec ces lieux et, surtout, met en valeur les gens qui y ont travaillé. Ces gens n'ont pas été choisis en raison de leur célébrité, mais bien parce qu'ils sont représentatifs du Canada et de son économie, et ce, qu'ils travaillent en plein air, sous terre, en usine ou à la maison. Ces photographies ont été produites pour de nombreuses raisons : comme outil de communication; comme moyen pour le gouvernement de promouvoir et d'administrer ses programmes; comme façon pour l'industrie de mettre en valeur ses réalisations et d'afficher sa fierté; pour permettre aux citoyens de produire un document historique et culturel sur un sujet important à leurs yeux.

Record 11 2004-03-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Meteorological Forecasting, Data Measurement and Analysis
DEF

Forecast which contains a statement of the likelihood of a specific event ...

OBS

E.g. a shower, during a specific period at a particular place.

CONT

Probabilities or probabilistic forecasts [are] an attempt to convey the uncertainty in a forecast by expressing its likelihood of occurrence as a probability, or percentage. High probabilities do not guarantee an outcome-they merely indicate that that outcome is highly likely. Probabilities are usually based on the frequency of occurrence in the historical record. For instance, if the chance of receiving above-median rainfall in a particular climate scenario is 60%, then 60% of past years when that scenario occurred had above median rainfall, and 40% had below-median rainfall.

Key term(s)
  • probability prediction
  • probabilistic prediction
