On the seabed off the west coast of the island rests a block of rock 22 km long and 11 km wide, which appears to have slid off the island largely intact at some point in prehistory, similar to the predicted future collapse of Cumbre Vieja, a geological fault on the neighboring island, La Palma.

A fault is a serve that falls long or wide of the service box, or does not clear the net.

Hot Creek is part of a stream that follows part of a fault line and is well known for its hydrothermal pools and for the contrast swimmers experience between the cold stream water and either the occasional plume of very hot water ( which can scald swimmers ' feet and can on rare occasions cause more serious injury ) or even long and very strong upwellings of hot water when enough water is in the hydrothermal system.

Under the 1966 Social Security Act, newly unemployed individuals were no longer denied assistance during their first month of unemployment, while men who had had their unemployment benefit disallowed for six weeks ( on the grounds that they had been at fault for losing their job ) were no longer subjected to a harsh rule applied by the National Assistance confining their payments to below “ benefit rate .” Instead, a policy was adopted of paying these individuals their full entitlement less 15 shillings. T he Act also introduced a long term addition of 9 shillings for all pensioners receiving supplementary benefit and for others ( with the exception of those required register for employment ) receiving supplementary benefits for two years.

The parties might also agree to an uncontested divorce as long as one of the parties is willing to allege one of the fault based grounds or has the requisite separation agreement or judgment.

Northwest of Frazier Park, the fault runs through the Carrizo Plain, a long, treeless plain within which much of the fault is plainly visible.

There is another kind of vibrato-linked fault that can afflict the voices of operatic artists, especially aging ones — namely the slow, often irregular wobble produced when the singer's vibrato has loosened from the effects of forcing, over-parting, or the sheer wear and tear on the body caused by the stresses of a long stage career.

In a depressurization fault, a gas-cooled reactor loses gas pressure within the core, reducing heat transfer efficiency and posing a challenge to the cooling of fuel ; however, as long as at least one gas circulator is available, the fuel will be kept cool.

The pediment was also not faithfully restored, but this is not the fault of the restorers, since in the 19th century it had long been gone and its original appearance was unknown.

Since fault coverage is important in stability testing, the tests are often run for long periods of time, hours or even days.

* The Sturmey Archer and Fichtel & Sachs ' Torpedo ' systems defaulted to top gear at slack-cable, which could make the bicycle usable for long distance travel in flat terrain even if a fault developed in the change mechanism ( rather like a derailleur system, which can be manually set to a high gear in case of a similar fault ).

Not long afterwards he became, through no fault of his own, deeply involved in debt owing to the failure of Putnam's Magazine ; and his sense of honour compelled him to spend the greater part of his earnings for many years on discharging the obligations for which he had become responsible, and from which he might have freed himself by legal process.

The problems with the engines, failures of production priorities and Hitler's meddling are well known, but the long delay between operational testing, tactical and doctrinal development and training were largely Galland's fault.

Denali National Park and Preserve is located in an area of intense tectonic activity: the Pacific Plate is subducting under the North American plate, creating the Denali fault system, which is a right-lateral strike-slip fault over 720 miles long.

Dun Mountain is separated from its sister massif, Red Mountain, at the southern end of South Island, New Zealand, by the Alpine Fault, an approximately 600 km long right lateral strike slip fault similar to the San Andreas fault in California, USA.

He would shoot one direction, with all the equipment behind the view of the camera, and then he'd want to shoot in the other direction right away and we'd have to move and he'd get angry that we took too long ... and it was always everybody else's fault, never his ".

Fine-grain multithreading — such as in a barrel processor -- issues instructions for different threads after every cycle, while coarse-grain multithreading only switches to issue instructions from another thread when the current executing thread causes some long latency events ( like page fault etc .).

The lack of apparent land movement along the New Madrid fault system has long puzzled scientists.

Chief ’ s Island, the largest island in the delta, was formed by a fault line which uplifted an area over 70 km long and 15 km wide.

Before this date the Japanese governmental Earthquake Research Committee and Japan Atomic Power had calculated that the Urasoko fault under the plant, combined with other faults connected to it, was around 25 km long.

Computer-simulations calculating the length of a fault based on its displacement, showed the Urasoko fault to be 39 km long, a result close to the length estimated by the sonic survey data, and the fault could cause some 5 meter displacement when activated together with other faults.

Durkheim noted long ago that religion as `` a unified system of beliefs and practices relative to sacred things unites into one single moral community all those who adhere to them ''.

Political interference in Africa and Asia and even in Latin America ( though limited in Latin America by the special interest of the United States as expressed in the Monroe Doctrine, itself from the outset related to European politics and long dependent upon the `` balance of power '' system in Europe ) was necessary in order to preserve both common economic values and the European `` balance '' itself.

This leveling system will hold the platform on-level, automatically, as long as the system is actuated.

In the earliest Indian astronomy texts, the year was believed to be 360 days long, similar to that of Babylonian astrology, but the rest of the early astrological system bears little resemblance.

The Gaussian theory, however, is only true so long as the angles made by all rays with the optical axis ( the symmetrical axis of the system ) are infinitely small, i. e. with infinitesimal objects, images and lenses ; in practice these conditions are not realized, and the images projected by uncorrected systems are, in general, ill defined and often completely blurred, if the aperture or field of view exceeds certain limits.

Minsk has a digital metropolitan network ; waiting lists for telephones are long ; fixed line penetration is improving although rural areas continue to be undeserved ; intercity-Belarus has developed fibre-optic backbone system presently serving at least 13 major cities ( 1998 ); Belarus's fibre optics form synchronous digital hierarchy rings through other countries ' systems ; an inadequate analogue system remains operational.

Scotland is often said to use the civil law system but it has a unique system that combines elements of an uncodified civil law dating back to the Corpus Juris Civilis with an element of common law long predating the Treaty of Union with England in 1707 ( see Legal institutions of Scotland in the High Middle Ages ).

Some of these elements, notably thorium ( atomic number 90 ) and uranium ( atomic number 92 ), have one or more isotopes with half-lives long enough to survive as remnants of the explosive stellar nucleosynthesis that produced the heavy elements before the formation of our solar system.

* Cyc, a long running project with the aim to create a knowledge-based system that provides a huge amount of common sense knowledge

Examples include an commuter system in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area, the long Supervia in Rio de Janeiro, and the Metrotrén in Santiago, Chile.

Several countries have used a system which is known as short form / long form.

However, a tall building brings a lot of difficulties to structural and building services design, for example, excessive system static pressure for water systems, high line voltage drop and long distance of vertical transportation.

For example, for a long period it was assumed that Imperial China had no system of civil law because the law codes did not have explicit provisions for civil lawsuits.

Russia has had a long history of caste system.

Ryzhkov, in retrospect, claimed that the Soviet system had " created, nursed and formed " Gorbachev, but that " long ago Gorbachev had internally rebelled against the native System.

Chesterton, the Christian apologist, claimed: ".. the medieval system began to be broken to pieces intellectually, long before it showed the slightest hint of falling to pieces morally.

Many cacti have a short growing season and a long dormancy and are able to react quickly to any rainfall, helped by an extensive but relatively shallow root system.

The long outgrowths on immune system dendritic cells are also called dendrites.

The second point cannot in any reasonable way be combined with the first point, as long as the axiom system is genuinely finitary.

The Hepburn romanization system uses a macron to mark long vowels, and the Kunrei-shiki and Nihon-shiki systems use a circumflex.

* The DOS operating system was the primary operating system for the Apple Computer's Apple II family of computers, from 1979 with the introduction of the floppy disk drive, until 1983 with the introduction of ProDOS ; many people continued using it long after that date.
