Formula 1 On Board lap in Monaco. Absolutely mental : videos. Formula 1™ - The Official F1™ Website. Formula One drivers have no spare concentration for operating fiddly controls, or trying to look at small, hidden gauges.
Hence the controls and instrumentation for modern Formula One cars have almost entirely migrated to the steering wheel itself - the critical interface between the driver and the car. Early Formula One cars used steering wheels taken directly from road cars. Where do People Drop the "T"s in the Following words? (pronounce, about) - Page 3. Quote: Did you notice how every one of those words has an N before the T?
Did you also notice how the stress is on the first syllable in each of these words, and the last syllable seems as though it's almost been swallowed? The reason the T "disappears" is because 1) the stress pattern puts the focus on the first syllable, including the N sound, and 2) the N and T are pronounced in the same part of the mouth (the alveolar ridge, which is the hard part of the roof of your mouth behind the upper teeth). The changes between N and T are relatively minor. T-glottalization. T-glottalisation is a process that occurs for many English speakers, that causes the phoneme /t/ to be pronounced as the glottal stop [ʔ] in certain positions.
This is an instance of the more general phonetic phenomenon (also found in other, unrelated languages throughout the world) called glottalisation. Apparently, glottal reinforcement, which is quite common in English, is a stage preceding full replacement of the stop, and indeed, reinforcement and replacement can be in free variation. In GA, /t/ may be fully replaced by a glottal stop ([ʔ]) before a syllabic nasal, especially when also preceded by a nasal: Glottal stop. The glottal stop is a type of consonantal sound used in many spoken languages, produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract or, more precisely, the glottis.
The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is 〈ʔ〉. In English, the glottal stop is represented, for example, by the hyphen in uh-oh!. For most English speakers, a glottal stop is used as an allophone of /t/ between a vowel and a syllabic "n", as in button or mountain, except when talking slowly.

By Rick Nauert PhD Senior News Editor Reviewed by John M.
Grohol, Psy.D. on August 26, 2008 Scientists report new findings that will improve the understanding of why some people may be more prone to depression than others. Dr Roland Zahn, a clinical neuroscientist in The University of Manchester’s School of Psychological Sciences, and his colleagues have identified how the brain links knowledge about social behavior with moral sentiments, such as pride and guilt. The study, carried out at the National Institutes of Neurological Disorders and Stroke in the US with Dr Jordan Grafman, chief of the Cognitive Neuroscience Section, and Dr Jorge Moll, now at the LABS-D’Or Center for Neuroscience in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to scan the brains of 29 healthy individuals while they considered certain social behaviors.

Frances Kathleen Oldham Kelsey, Ph.D., M.D., (born 24 July 1914) is a pharmacologist, most famous as the reviewer for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) who refused to authorize thalidomide for market because she had concerns about the drug's safety. Her concerns proved to be justified when it was proven that thalidomide caused serious birth defects. Kelsey's career intersected with the passage of laws strengthening the FDA's oversight of pharmaceuticals.

Governments pose greatest threat to internet, says Google's Eric Schmidt : technology. Governments pose greatest threat to internet, says Google's Eric Schmidt. Nations that carry out cybercrimes and wreak online havoc pose the greatest threat to the future of the internet, the chairman of Google has warned. In a speech delivered at London's Science Museum on Wednesday, Eric Schmidt said the internet would be vulnerable for at least 10 years, and that every node of the public web needed upgrading to protect against crime. Fixing the problem was a "huge task" as the internet was built "without criminals in mind" he said.
"While threats come from individuals and even groups of people, the biggest problem will be activities stemming from nations that seek to do harm. It is very difficult to identify the source of cyber-criminality and stop it," he said. The Google chairman raised a series of fears in a speech that announced a new initiative to send teachers into UK schools to teach computer science, and called for more people to enter science and engineering to drive industry.

Operations and history[edit] Alexa Internet was founded in 1996 by American web entrepreneurs Brewster Kahle and Bruce Gilliat.[4] The company's name was chosen in homage to the Library of Alexandria,[5] drawing a parallel between the largest repository of knowledge in the ancient world and the potential of the Internet to become a similar store of knowledge. YouTube. YouTube is a video-sharing website, created by three former PayPal employees in February 2005 and owned by Google since late 2006, on which users can upload, view and share videos.[4] The company is based in San Bruno, California, and uses Adobe Flash Video and HTML5 technology to display a wide variety of user-generated and corporate media video content, including video clips, TV clips, and music videos, and amateur content such as video blogging, short original videos, and educational videos.
Most of the content on YouTube has been uploaded by individuals, but media corporations including CBS, the BBC, Vevo, Hulu, and other organizations offer some of their material via YouTube, as part of the YouTube partnership program.[5] Unregistered users can watch videos, and registered users can upload an unlimited number of videos.

Comparative literature (sometimes abbreviated "Comp. lit. ," or referred to as Global or World Literature) is an academic field dealing with the literature of two or more different linguistic, cultural or nation groups. While most frequently practiced with works of different languages, comparative literature may also be performed on works of the same language if the works originate from different nations or cultures among which that language is spoken.
Also included in the range of inquiry are comparisons of different types of art; for example, a relationship of film to literature. Additionally, the characteristically intercultural and transnational field of comparative literature concerns itself with the relation between literature, broadly defined, and other spheres of human activity, including history, politics, philosophy, and science.
