Abstract As drivers age, their risk of being involved in a car collision decreases. The present study investigated if this trend is due, in part, to some risky drivers having a collision early in their driving lives and subsequently reducing their risky driving after that negative experience. Accelerometers and video cameras were installed in the vehicles of 16- to 17-year-old drivers (N= 254), allowing coders to measure the number of g-force events (i.e., events in which a threshold acceleration

The typical horror story in the current century is the idea of the dead, coming alive. Yet in the status quo, the zombie era is truly coming to life, and it is easy to figure out where this idea originated. The historic book Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley describes a man who creates a creature out of dead body parts of humans.

And in 1940 he explained Z2 to the experts of German Research Institute for Aviation. And it helped him to convince them to finance the development of Z3, Z3 became operational in 1941, it was built with the same logic of Z1 but it uses electric telephony relays. In 1940 he makes S1 and S2 computing machines.S2 was
