 Commerce Chain Management
Sequencing must be approached based on current portfolio assessment, industry-and company-specific supply chain drivers, and recognition that visibility of inventory and events across the supply chain is a fundamental element of supply chain intelligence.
By 2003, dominant enterprises will have crafted intelligent supply chains, with global pipeline-wide visibility to inventory and events, networkwide alert messaging systems, and event-driven architectures that provide high flexibility for responding to changes in both macro- and micro-level supply chain events.
Process level integration enables transportation planning and the WMS to “negotiate” to determine optimal cost trade-offs between the size of a pick wave and the optimal transportation loading plan.

This July sees the second "Summer on the Chain Bridge" ("Nyár a Lánchídon") series of events, when the most famous bridge in Budapest is closed off to traffic at weekends and devoted to fun, family events.
Hungary’s great 19th century reformer Count István Széchenyi commissioned the Chain Bridge (Széchenyi lánchíd), the first of the eight permanent road bridges in the city and an enduring, iconic symbol of the city.
The Széchenyi Chain Bridge serves as a kind of gateway to the World Heritage Listed Danube Panorama and points the way towards Andrássy út, which also features on the List.

 Birmingham Weekly: Gimme that new-time religion 7/22-7/29 2004
Its chain of events reaches further into the future than we can imagine, consequences as relentless as they are unforeseeable, but already stirring in us some primal memory of doom.
Of all the events large and small that were set into motion by the flaming collapse of New York City’s Twin Towers that morning, perhaps the least predictable has been the creation of a new religion, headquartered, of all places, in Birmingham.
But Vox sees the United Universists membership as a theological tent that’s inclusive enough to bring in atheists, agnostics, deists, transcendentalists and the 13.5 percent of Americans who describe themselves as "non-religious" but nonetheless have many unanswered questions about the nature and meaning of existence.

 TIME 100: Alexander Fleming
The improbable chain of events that led Alexander Fleming to discover penicillin in 1928 is the stuff of which scientific myths are made.
A spore that drifted into his lab and took root on a culture dish started a chain of events that altered forever the treatment of bacterial infections
Fleming, a young Scottish research scientist with a profitable side practice treating the syphilis infections of prominent London artists, was pursuing his pet theory — that his own nasal mucus had antibacterial effects — when he left a culture plate smeared with Staphylococcus bacteria on his lab bench while he went on a two-week holiday.

We see the constructors first (which we could further refactor to a factory that returned the chained objects from a organizational table in a database), and next we see how we set up the actual chain of approval events, passing in the consequent approvers to each class.
This article details a real world example of how to use a Chain of Responsibility pattern to help you deal with creating an object oriented chain of events from inline code.
We have no encapsulation of duties, and no way to chain the responsibility between the consecutive approvers.

I propose that the establishment of the New World Order constitutes a part of the events of Biblical Armageddon, including the rise of the Antichrist, and that the forces behind the NWO are also featured in the events described in Revelations and other apocalyptic books in the Bible.
This has to be the most complete theory of the NWO that I have ever seen.That does actually explain a lot and makes almost perfect sense.

 Butterfly
So say the proponents of chaos theory, who use 'the butterfly effect' to describe how small and apparently insignificant incidents can set in motion a chain of events with far reaching consequences.
Recently, in order to underscore his concerns, he published a twelve stage example of exactly how such a catastrophic sequence of events might run:
The butterfly effect has, until now, been cited only as an illustration, but Professor Jim Spanners of the Pennsylvania Institute for Making Stuff Up takes it seriously, and believes that butterflies are directly responsible for most of the world's major problems.

 Cunningham 2003
Due to the fact that the story consists of so many interrelated events involving many players this paper is more a recitation, a chronology, of those happenings rather than a full narrative which would have taken many times these pages and even more sorely tried the listeners and any possible readers.
While the story of the “Donut Hole” is far from complete and is probably decades from a last chapter, I believe the events recounted here are worthy of timely telling.

 Abstract for Bill Labov's talk
The geographic patterns of these complex events provide evidence on the causal sequences involved and help identify the “triggering event” responsible for the chain shift.
These chain shifts are all governed by principles of functional economy first laid out by Martinet, by which ranges of dispersion and margins of security are optimized for maximal contrast.
The rarity of allophonic chain shifting indicates that the segment, rather than the feature, is the central construct of phonological structure.

 Supply chain management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Supply chain event management (abbreviated as SCEM) is a consideration of all possible occurring events and factors that can cause a disruption in a supply chain.
Supply chain management (SCM) is the process of planning, implementing, and controlling the operations of the supply chain with the purpose to satisfy customer requirements as efficiently as possible.
According to the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP), a professional association that developed a definition in 2004, Supply Chain Management "encompasses the planning and management of all activities involved in sourcing and procurement, conversion, and all logistics management activities.

 Markov chain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Markov chains are related to Brownian motion and the ergodic hypothesis, two topics in physics which were important in the early years of the twentieth century, but Markov appears to have pursued this out of a mathematical motivation, namely the extension of the law of large numbers to dependent events.
"Extension of the limit theorems of probability theory to a sum of variables connected in a chain".
Then the average of a function f over samples of the Markov chain is equal to the average with respect to the stationary distribution,

 CERN Courier - Second postcard from the isl - IOP Publishing - article
The alpha-particle energies and the half-lives of the nuclei in the three decay chains, the first alpha decays and those detected after the accelerator was switched off are all consistent between each other within the limits of the detector energy resolution (60 keV) and the statistical fluctuations in the decay time of the events.
Taking this into account, the new decay chains had to be attributed to the decay of the neighbouring even-even isotope of element 114 with mass 288.
Thus it is reasonable to assign the observed decay to the nuclide 292/116, produced via the evaporation of four neutrons in the complete fusion reaction using curium-248.

 TOCCA - Making Common Sense Common Practice
Traditional project management identifies the longest chain of dependent events, from the beginning to the end of a project.
This chain, known as the critical path, looks at task dependencies only, and does not take into account resource contention – the fact that a resource may be needed in two or more places at any one time.
Critical Chain is applicable in both the single project environment (Critical Chain Single Project) and in the multiple or matrix-project environment (Critical Chain Multi-Project Management)

Technically the term Critical Chain refers to the longest chain of dependent events considering both task and resource dependency.
TOC Critical Chain is a body of knowledge and methodology for constructing and managing projects plans.
It requires that time is invested in thinking through the project plan, that effort is made trying to reduce the length of the chains to meet the goals of the project without sacrificing the safety essential to make the predictions in the plans reliable.

 CIRAS - Critical Chain Project Management
The Critical Chain of a project is defined as the longest chain of dependent events and takes into account both task dependencies and resource conflicts.
Feeding buffers are placed at the end of a chain of dependent tasks feeding into the Critical Chain and their durations are derived from the tasks in that chain.
Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) acknowledges that a large part of the variation existing in projects cannot be eliminated.
