Physical and mental effort at work is as normal as it is at rest and at play. Man will control and direct himself in order to reach shared objectives, meaning that external control and threats are not the only way of ensuring effort. Commitment to objectives goes hand in hand with the rewards obtained upon reaching them. The average person can learn not only to accept, but also to seek greater responsibility. The capacity for imagination and creativity is widely spread within the population. In the modern industrial world, the intellectual potential of the average person is only partially used.

It is then "the habit, and in my view the duty, of the court, so far as it lawfully can, to clothe the fact with right".

  • Trademarks (Law)
  • Commercial Law
  • Trade
DEF

A trademark that suggests rather than describes the particular characteristics of a product, thus requiring a consumer to use imagination to draw a conclusion about the nature of the product.

CONT

A suggestive trademark suggests some quality or character of the associated good and indirectly describes the product or service that they identify.

OBS

The general term "mark" is often used in texts as an elliptical variant of "trademark."

OBS

... Trademarks that describe the ingredients, qualities, features, purpose or characteristics of a product or service. These marks are not inherently distinctive, and thus do not receive trademark protection unless they acquire distinctiveness through secondary meaning.

History and imagination are just a part of this book, though, as he and his wife, Barbara, share their adventures hiking, canoeing, parachuting, skijaking, caving, white-water tubing, and scuba diving.

OBS

Anyone who missed out on the windsurfing craze has a chance to be among the first to try a new sport called skijak (pronounced skeeyak) when Villa Bellevue brings this kooky watersport to Lac Ouimet this summer. Skijakers fasten kayak-like skis to their feet and shuffle across the surface of the water, propelling themselves with elongated kayak paddles.

Kiner, 41, already saunters across lakes, rivers and even his backyard pool in Slingerlands, N.Y., with nary a hint of divine intervention.

  • Clinical Psychology
DEF

A form of exposure therapy in which individuals confront feared objects and situations in imagination only.

CONT

In imaginal exposure the client repeatedly recounts trauma experiences over the course of several sessions until the emotions generated by the retelling habituate (lessen) over time. The client retells his/her experiences using the present tense as if the experience were happening all over again. In this study, discussion of the meaning of the traumatic event was not part of the imaginal exposure treatment to distinguish it from cognitive therapy.

CONT

Twenty-three patients who had experienced a major stressful event were given a debriefing session followed by eight weekly sessions of imaginal exposure and in vivo exposure.

PHR

Taped imaginal exposure.

The International Ocean Institute has the honour to announce the "Arvid Pardo Award" for Research on the Concept of the Common Heritage". This Award was created by the Institute in 1992 and first awarded in 1997. Through this award the International Ocean Institute wishes to pay tribute to Arvid Pardo, the father of the contemporary Law of the Sea, the inspirer of the pacem in Maribus Conferences and the International Ocean Institute. It was the global vision, knowledge and intellectual integrity of Arvid Pardo, together with his lucid presentation of the proposals in 1967, that convinced the United Nations General Assembly to convene the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea. Special tribute must be paid to Arvid Pardo for his imagination and clear justification of the principle of the Common Heritage of Mankind in his presentations to the General Assembly and subsequently during the initial considerations thereof.

The Thematic Apperception Test and the Rorschach Ink Block Test are only two widely used examples of the use of art and imagery in standardized diagnotic testing. These tests use a combination of colors, designs, and pictures as a method of getting people to project meaning of the images.
