"By moving them vertically, a representative mean curve could be formed, and individual events were then characterized by individual logarithmic differences from the standard curve."

"I rope steers in team roping events. There's a header and a heeler on a roping team, and I'm the heeler."
"If I haven't made myself clear, this worrisome chain of events describes the game of the nineteenth century."
"The wonderful thing about television is the immediate impact of pictures of current events."
"And now the sequence of events in no particular order."
"By a museum, I assume you mean an institution dedicated to the events of Sept. 11 and the aftermath. If that is done with sensitivity, I think it would be most appropriate."
"The rise of the Dutch Republic must ever be regarded as one of the leading events of modern times."
"I am personally saddened and stunned by the tragic events that took place in Red Lake."
"To say it another way, thinking, however abstract, originates in an embodied subjectivity, at once overdetermined and permeable to contingent events."
"Big shows are more like events and small shows are more like traditional gigs."
"Essentially and most simply put, plot is what the characters do to deal with the situation they are in. It is a logical sequence of events that grow from an initial incident that alters the status quo of the characters."

"For example, some stars put out large amounts of energy in the infrared part of the spectrum, so that this can produce a different relative magnitude rating than using light energy from the middle of the spectrum."
"In every area of the world where there is earthquake risk, there are still many buildings of this type; it is very frustrating to try to get rid of them."
"I suggested that we might compare earthquakes in terms of the measured amplitudes recorded at these stations, with an appropriate correction for distance."
"What emerged, of course, was that the magnitude scale presupposed that all earthquakes were alike except for a constant scaling factor. And this proved to be closer to the truth than we expected."
"If the assumptions used in calculating energy are changed, then this seriously affects the final result, even though the same body of data might be used."
"I repeatedly have to correct this belief. In a sense, magnitude involves steps of 10 because every increase of one magnitude represents a tenfold amplification of the ground motion. But there is no 'scale of 10' in the sense of an upper limit."
"This is very similar to astronomy where different magnitudes are assigned to the brightness of an astronomical object, depending on the range of wavelengths being measured."
"My amateur interest in astronomy brought out the term 'magnitude,' which is used for the brightness of a star."
