To constitute a legal possession there must be not only a corporeal detention, or that quasi detention which, according to the nature of the right, is equivalent to it, but there must also be the intention to act as owner. Thus, no legal possession is acquired by a man walking across the land of his friend, or using a private way thinking it to be a public one....(Anger & Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 935).  1, record 2, English, - legal%20possession

The 12-hour clock is a time conversion convention in which the 24 hours of the day are divided into two periods called “ante meridiem”(“a. m., ” English :"before mid day") and “post meridiem”(“p. m., ” English :"after mid day"). Each period consists of 12 hours numbered : 12(acting as zero), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11. … Confusion at noon and midnight.... The National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, states : To avoid confusion, the correct designation for twelve o’clock is 12 noon or 12 midnight. Alternatively, the twenty-four-hour-clock system may be used. … In the United States, noon is often called "12 : 00 p. m. "and midnight "12 : 00 a. m. "With this convention, thinking of "12" as "0" makes the system logical. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language(Fourth Edition, 2000) has a similar usage note on this topic :"Strictly speaking, 12 a. m. denotes midnight, and 12 p. m. denotes noon, but there is sufficient confusion over these uses to make it advisable to use 12 noon and 12 midnight where clarity is required. "Many U. S. style guides(including the NIST website) recommend that it is clearest if one refers to "noon" or "12 : 00 noon" and "midnight" or "12 : 00 midnight"(rather than to "12 : 00 p. m. "and "12 : 00 a. m. ", respectively). … The use of "12 : 00 midnight" or "midnight" is still problematic because it does not distinguish between the midnight at the start of a particular day and the midnight at its end. To avoid confusion and error, some U. S. style guides recommend either clarifying "midnight" with other context clues, or not referring to midnight at all. For an example of the latter method, "midnight" is replaced with "11 : 59 p. m. "for the end of a day or "12 : 01 a. m. "for the start of the next day. That has become common in the United States in legal contracts and for airplane, bus, or train schedules, though some schedules use other conventions. The 24-hour clock notation avoids all of those ambiguities by using 00 : 00 for midnight at the start of the day and 12 : 00 for noon. From 23 : 59 : 59 the time shifts(one second later) to 00 : 00 : 00, the beginning of the next day. Some variants of 24-hour notation(including the world standard ISO 8601) use 24 : 00 when referring to a midnight at the end of a day.  3, record 3, English, - midnight

Our recommendation is to use the 24-hour clock system (ISO 8601). For midnight (begin of day): Use “00:00.” For midnight (end of day): Use “24:00.” You will use “12:00” to designate noon.  5, record 3, English, - midnight

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 OBS

If you use the 12-hour clock system: For midnight (begin of day): Use “midnight”, “12:00 midnight” or, better, “12:01 a.m.” (in legal contracts and for transportation schedules). For midnight (end of day): Use “midnight,” “12:00 midnight” or, better, “11:59 p.m." (in legal contracts and for transportation schedules). In both cases, avoid “12:00 a.m.,” which is confusing.  5, record 3, English, - midnight

Natural law(or law of nature). The belief in natural law and natural law theories has been one of the most ancient and persistent themes in philosophy, and in legal history and theory. In general, it denotes belief in a system of right or justice common to all men prescribed by the supreme controlling force in the universe and distinct from positive law, law laid down by any particular state or other human organization. The starting points of all natural law thinking have been "reason" and "the nature of man". But there have always been disagreements about the meaning of natural law and its relation to positive law.  4, record 7, English, - natural%20law

Le droit des gens peut être conçu, soit comme étant l'expression de la justice appliquée aux rapports internationaux, soit comme étant l'ensemble des règles qui, à un moment donné, sont effectivement en vigueur entre des États donnés. Dans le premier cas on est en présence du droit naturel, que l'on appelle aussi droit idéal, nécessaire, rationnel, primitif ou objectif. Dans le second cas on est en présence du droit positif, effectif ou établi. Cette distinction, qui n'est pas propre au droit international, y a une importance particulière pour des raisons d'ordre historique et technique : l'effort doctrinal des théologiens d'une part, l'absence de législateur superétatique d'autre part, expliquent l'attitude fréquemment adoptée par les auteurs du droit international, volontiers enclins à faire appel aux principes du droit naturel pour compléter, amender ou interpréter les données du droit positif.  2, record 7, French, - droit%20naturel

Record number: 8, Textual support number: 1 OBS

This term was coined by mental health specialists Bravt and Tisza, to avoid the limitations inherent in the use of the term "sexual abuse", and there by create a more appropriate term from a mental health perspective. The legal term, "sexual abuse", tends to imply adult "abusers" and child victims. However, sexual abuse is usually a manifestation of family pathology, and several family members as well as the child are usually active in perpetrating the "abuse". The less pejorative term, "sexual misuse", dissuades one from thinking only in terms of victims and abusers, but rather in terms of a family dysfunction in which all to some extent suffer.  1, record 8, English, - sexual%20misuse

Record number: 8, Textual support number: 2 OBS

The specialists who developed this notion used the appearance of physical or behavioural symptoms in the child and evidence of family dysfunction as criteria for determining the inappropriateness of the stimulation, and they recognized that that which is "inappropriate" may vary according to the family and ethnic or sociocultural context.  1, record 8, English, - sexual%20misuse
