CONT

Researchers identify coercive controlling violence by the pattern of power and control in which it is embedded... The Power and Control Wheel... provides a useful graphical representation of the major forms of control that constitute coercive controlling violence : intimidation; emotional abuse; isolation; minimizing, denying, and blaming; use of children; asserting male privilege; economic abuse; and coercion and threats... Abusers do not necessarily use all of these tactics, but they do use a combination of the ones that they feel are most likely to work for them. Because these nonviolent control tactics may be effective without the use of violence(especially if there has been a history of violence in the past), coercive controlling violence does not necessarily manifest itself in high levels of violence.

OBS

The term dubiofossil is a portmanteau word used in geology and paleontology for a problematic structure that looks like a fossil, but whose biologic origin is uncertain.(From Latin dubius, + fossil). It has been mainly used for remains found in rocks dating from the early history of the Earth(Precambrian rocks), but is also applicable in other settings such as problematic microbe-like forms in meteorites.

OBS

A dubiofossil is an object that may or may not be of organic origin. A pseudofossil, on the other hand, is something that looks like a fossil but has been determined not to be of biogenic origin.

[History of Inuit Art :] Historical Overview of Epochs... People have been living in the Yukon region for almost 30 000 years and their history can be separated into several epochs : Pre-Dorset, Dorset, Thule, Historic and Contemporary.... The Historical Period[. ] This period is marked by several occurrences : the demise of Thule culture, a climatic change wherein weather was increasingly cold, the disappearance of the whales and the arrival of the white man in the 16th century. Around 1800, the various carvings, dolls, and toys were being traded with the whalers, sailors and explorers who were making increasingly frequent visits in the area. Trade art often was more detailed and exquisite than non-trade art of the time. By the early twentieth century, trade art had lost the magico-religious element and some areas even produced European objects such as Roman Catholic figurines, cigarette boxes, and cribbage boards. Increasingly, Inuit art forms were suited toward Europeans.

Le terme «histoire du paysagisme» nous a été proposé par le directeur de l'École d'architecture de l'Université de Montréal. Il est à noter que «paysagisme» n'est attesté dans les ouvrages généraux français que dans son sens artistique, c'est-à-dire de l'art pictural des paysages. Cependant nous croyons qu'il est justifié d'étendre son champ sémantique à celui de l'architecture paysagère. Ainsi, le terme «paysagiste» peut désigner le peintre de paysages ou l'architecte paysagiste. Le Grand Robert indique d'ailleurs le dérivé «paysagisme» à la fin de l'entrée "paysagiste".
