Even the most tenuous cloud passing in front of a telescope could be misinterpreted as a transit phenomenon. However, observations are being done non-continuously using Earth- based observatories. At the time of writing, no signs of any transit have yet been detected from these observations. During a transit the amount of the light that reaches us from the star is slightly diminished while the planet is blocking out a small part of it.

176-187 Virey commented that "It is thus plausible that, thanks to such evolution, nature has arisen from the most tenuous mould to the majestic cedar, to the gigantic pine, just as it has advanced from microscopic animals up to man, king and dominator of all beings." Virey also sketched an early version of the recapitulation theory. He was a polygenist minimalist, proposing two human species (the "White" and "Black"), divided into six chromatic races.Stocking, George W. (1988).

With the original objective yet to be achieved, the priority for the Allies was to link up all the Normandy beachheads.

If the 30 or so winning entries in the first stage accurately reflect the proportion of original works to completions of Schubert, it would seem that about 20 per cent, i.e., something over 100 different "finishings" of the Unfinished, were submitted.

He not only intended to counter the Japanese efforts to dislodge them, he intended to secure the island. Above all else, he wanted to regain the initiative and take the fight to the Japanese. It was two days after Halsey had taken command in October 1942 that he gave an order that all naval officers in the South Pacific would dispense with wearing neckties with their tropical uniforms. As Richard Frank commented in his account of the Battle for Guadalcanal: Halsey led the South Pacific command through what was for the U.S. Navy the most tenuous phase of the war.

And despite investment to enhance pipelines and storage of imported natural gas (mostly from Norway) there is a reluctance to allow too great a reliance on Russia and its gas exports for energy needs. By 2021, North Sea oil and natural gas production is predicted to slip 75 percent from 2005 levels to less than one million barrels per year. Oil and coal reserves for all of Europe are among the most tenuous in the developed world: for example, Europe's reserves to annual consumption ratio stands at 3.0, perilously low by world standards. A new "dash for gas" was announced by energy secretary Amber Rudd in November 2015.

Cricket was first introduced to Albania in August 2001 through European Cricket Council coach and Englishman Tim Dellor.

The Conference implemented the Principle of Effective Occupation in Africa which allowed European states with even the most tenuous connection to an African region to claim dominion over its land, resources, and people. In effect, it allowed for the arbitrary construction of sovereign borders in a territory where they had never previously existed. Jeffrey Herbst has written extensively on the impact of state organization in Africa. He notes, because the borders were artificially created, they generally do not conform to “typical demographic, ethnographic, and topographic boundaries.” Instead, they were manufactured by colonialists to advance their political goals. This led to large scale issues, like the division of ethnic groups; and small scale issues, such as families’ homes being separated from their farms.

Mai-Mai fighters surrendering their weapons to United Nations personnel in Northern Katanga, 2006 The term Mayi-Mayi or Mai-Mai refers to any kind of community-based militia group active in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) that is formed to defend local territory against other armed groups. Most were formed to resist the invasion of Rwandan forces and Rwanda- affiliated Congolese rebel groups, but some may have formed to exploit the war to their own advantage by looting, cattle rustling or banditry. Groups that fall under the umbrella term "Mai-Mai" include armed forces led by warlords, traditional tribal elders, village heads and politically motivated resistance fighters. Because Mai Mai have only the most tenuous internal cohesion, different Mai-Mai groups allied themselves with a variety of domestic and foreign government and guerrilla groups at different times.
