English As a Global Language

    […] In reflecting on these observations, it is important to note that there are several ways in which a language can be official. It may be the sole official language of a country, or it may share this status with other languages. And it may have a semi-official status, being used only in certain domains, or taking second place to other languages while still performing certain official roles. Many countries formally acknowledge a language's status in their constitution (e.g. India); some make no special mention of it (e.g. Britain). In certain countries, the question of whether the special status should be legally recognized is a source of considerable controversy – notably, in the USA. Similarly, there is great variation in the reasons for choosing a particular language as a favoured foreign language: they include historical tradition, political expediency, and the desire for commercial, cultural or technological contact. Also, even when chosen, the presence of the language can vary greatly, depending on the extent to which a government or foreign-aid agency is prepared to give adequate financial support to a language-teaching policy. In a wellsupported environment, resources will be devoted to helping people have access to the language and learn it, through the media, libraries, schools, and institutes of higher education. There will be an increase in the number and quality of teachers able to teach the language. Books, tapes, computers, telecommunication systems and all kinds of teaching materials will be increasingly available. In many countries, however, lack of government support, or a shortage of foreign aid, has hindered the achievement of language-teaching goals. […]

A man stepped onto the overnight train and told the conductor, “I need you to wake me up  in Philadelphia. I'm a  deep sleeper and can be angry when I get up, but no matter what, I want you to help me make that stop. Here's $100 to  make sure". 

The conductor agreed. The man  fell asleep, and when he awoke he heard  the announcement  that  the  train was  approaching New York, which meant they had passed Philadelphia a long time ago.  Furious, he ran to the conductor. “I gave you $100 to make sure I got off in Philadelphia, you idiot!"  “Wow," another passenger said to his traveling companion. “Is that guy mad!"  “Yeah," his companion replied. “But not half as mad as that guy they forced off the train in Philadelphia."

Vehicle primary suspensions

Primary suspension is the term used for suspension components connecting the wheel assemblies of a vehicle to the frame of the vehicle. This is in contrast to the suspension components connecting the frame and body of the vehicle, or those components located directly at the vehicle’s seat, commonly called the secondary suspension. Usually a vehicle contains both primary and secondary suspension system but primary suspension is chosen for control. There are two basic types of elements in conventional suspension systems. These elements are springs and dampers. The role of the spring in a vehicle’s suspension system is to support the static weight of the vehicle. The role of the damper is to dissipate vibrational energy and control the input from the road that is transmitted to the vehicle.
