The media have a tendency to start to seek culprits if an event occurs that is of such significance that it does not drop off the news agenda within a few days.

A similar event occurs at the Friendship Festival, a joint celebration between Fort Erie, Ontario, and neighbouring Buffalo, New York, and towns and villages throughout Maine, New Brunswick, and Quebec come together to celebrate both anniversaries together.

* In real-time systems, some waiting tasks are guaranteed to be given the CPU when an external event occurs.

Recent research on the Event Related Potential also shows that conscious experience does not occur until the late phase of the potential ( P3 or later ) that occurs 300 milliseconds or more after the event.

An eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when an astronomical object is temporarily obscured, either by passing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it and the viewer.

This event is unique in EverQuest, as it only occurs once on each game server.

Calculating the frequency of a repeating event is accomplished by counting the number of times that event occurs within a specific time period, then dividing the count by the length of the time period.

After a situation which incites fear occurs, the amygdala and hippocampus record the event through synaptic plasticity.

For any given event, only one of two possibilities may hold: it occurs or it does not.

Today, the floor event occurs on a carpeted 12m × 12m square, usually consisting of hard foam over a layer of plywood, which is supported by springs or foam blocks generally called a " spring " floor.

What distinguishes these aspects within each tense is not ( necessarily ) when the event occurs, but how the time in which it occurs is viewed: as complete, ongoing, consequential, planned, etc.

Another variety, known as the retrospective gambler's fallacy, occurs when individuals judge that a seemingly rare event must come from a longer sequence than a more common event does.

* 1908 – The Tunguska event occurs in remote Siberia.

* 2011 – A rare tornado outbreak occurs in New England ; a strong EF3 tornado strikes Springfield, Massachusetts during the event, killing four people.

There are three general manifestations of such trauma-the typical knock out which results in a sustained loss of consciousness ( comparable to general anesthesia-where the recipient emerges and has lost memory of the event ), a " flash " knock out where a very transient ( less than three seconds ) loss of consciousness occurs ( where the recipient often maintains awareness and memory of the combat ), and lastly a " stunning " where consciousness is maintained despite extremely distorted proprioception, visual fields, and auditory processing.

Now, for distinct primes, these divisibility events are mutually independent because the candidate divisors are coprime ( a number is divisible by coprime divisors n and m if and only if it is divisible by nm, an event which occurs with probability 1 /( nm ).

This axis may be expressed in either mathematical terms ( event occurs once a year, once in ten years, once in 100 years etc.

The insurance policy simply provides that if an accident ( the event ) occurs involving the policy holder then some compensation may be payable to the policy holder that is commensurate to the suffering / damage.

Similarly, the Charter of Fundamental Rights, codified into law applicable to European Union countries by the passage civil lawsuit, is said to have accrued when the event beginning its time limitation occurs.

Unlike an ordinary statute of limitations, which begins running upon accrual of the claim, the period contained in a statute of repose begins when a specific event occurs, regardless of whether a cause of action has accrued or whether any injury has resulted.

In probability theory, to say that two events are independent intuitively means that the occurrence of one event makes it neither more nor less probable that the other occurs.

Thus if an event or its complement almost surely occurs, it is independent of itself.

The Cretaceous – Paleogene extinction event, often referred to as the Cretaceous – Tertiary extinction event, occurred approximately 65. 5 million years ago ( Ma ) at the end of the Maastrichtian age of the Cretaceous period.

Within cartilaginous fish, approximately 80 % of the sharks, rays, and skates families survived the extinction event, and more than 90 % of teleost fish ( bony fish ) families survived.

Pollen samples recovered near a fossilized hadrosaur femur recovered in the Ojo Alamo Sandstone at the San Juan River indicate that the animal lived during the Tertiary, approximately 64. 5 Ma ( about 1 million years after the K – Pg extinction event ).

The most recent, the Cretaceous – Paleogene extinction event, which occurred approximately 65. 5 million years ago ( Ma ), was a large-scale mass extinction of animal and plant species in a geologically short period of time.

The event will offer approximately 200 software-related sessions on application transformation, Converged Infrastructure, information optimization, mobile devices, webOS, global data centers, security, hybrid delivery and cloud computing.

HP anticipates approximately 10, 000 customers, partners and IT thought leaders will attend HP Discover 2011 in Las Vegas and approximately 5, 000 will attend the EMEA event.

Each year, most of the trackside fencing, pedestrian overpasses, grandstands and other motorsport infrastructure are erected approximately a month prior to the Grand Prix weekend and removed within 6 weeks after the event.

The javelin throw is a track and field athletics throwing event where the object to be thrown is the javelin, a spear approximately in length.

The lower ( Triassic ) boundary is set by the Permian-Triassic extinction event, during which approximately 90 % to 96 % of marine species and 70 % of terrestrial vertebrates became extinct.

The draining of Lake Bungunia approximately 0. 5 million years ago must have been a dramatic event.

The movement, which lasted from approximately 1916 to 1922, arose during World War I, an event that influenced the artists.

B is the sample space and A is an event. By the ratio of their areas, the probability of A is approximately 0. 4.

During February the wildebeest spend their time on the short grass plains of the south eastern part of the ecosystem, grazing and giving birth to approximately 500, 000 calves within a 2 to 3 week period: a remarkably synchronized event.

The gathering of approximately 30, 000 like-minded people made the Human Be-In the first event that confirmed there was a viable hippie scene.

The massive eruptive period was approximately coincident with the Permian – Triassic extinction event.

If an event occurs at sunrise the ascendant and sun sign will be the same ; other rising signs can then be estimated at approximately two hour intervals from there.

In 1969, Embrey was one of approximately 150 people who attended the first organized Manzanar Pilgrimage ( see Manzanar Pilgrimage section, below ) and was one of the founders of the annual event.

Most participants of any multi-sport event, with approximately twice as many competitors as the Summer Olympics.

Government officials did not particularly comment on the event, nor were there any consequences for the approximately 30 young men arrested in the riots.

Thus, all measured nakhlites give essentially identical CRE ages of approximately 11 Ma, which when combined with their possible identical formation ages indicates ejection of nakhlites into space from a single location on Mars by a single impact event.
