The Directness Requirement in Intentional Torts
The confusion surrounding the distinction between indirect and direct threats is most pertinent as to whether an assault is constituted by telephone communication. In Barton v Armstrong 5 , Taylor J held in the Supreme Court of New South Wales that threats made over the phone were capable of constituting an assault.

Mercury and digital thermometers are the most common types of household devices for measuring body temperature.
range of the water, which differs for various species. Thus, for example, the increase in temperature of river water by only a few degrees as a result of heat dischargedfrom power plants may kill most of the native fish. See Water Pollution. The properties of all materials are also markedly affected by temperature changes. At arctic temperatures, for example, steel becomes very brittle and breaks easily,and liquids either solidify or become very viscous, offering high frictional resistance to...

substances, with the properties only of mind.Like Malebranche's substances, Leibniz's monads cannot be causally affected by any other creatures. ‘Monads haveno windows, by which anything could come in or go out.' Because they have no parts, they cannot grow or decay:they can begin only by creation, and end only by annihilation. They can, however, change; indeed they changeconstantly; but they change from within. Since they have no physical properties to alter, their changes must bechanges of men...

Bakunin, Mikhail Aleksandrovich
often-expressed contempt for 'theorizers' was based on the Romantic theory of the regenerative power of primitive spontaneity. He interpreted the unrest among the peoples of the Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires in the 1840s as the expression of elemental forces which were destined to sweep away all the artificial systems and institutions that sought to suppress them. This spirit of instinctive revolt, 'the sole creative force in history' , was to be found at its purest in the most pri...
