Misadventures In France
An accident is an unintended, normally unwanted event that was not deliberately caused by humans. The term ''accident'' implies that the event may have been caused by unrecognized or unaddressed risks. Many researchers, insurers and attorneys who specialize in unintentional injury prefer to avoid using the term ''accident'', and focus on conditions that increase risk of severe injury or that reduce injury incidence and severity. For example, when a tree falls down during a wind storm, its fall may not have been directly caused by human error, but the tree's type, size, health, location, or improper maintenance may have contributed to the result. Most car crashes are the result of dangerous behavior and not purely ''accidents''; however, English speakers started using that word in the mid-20th century as a result of media manipulation by the US automobile industry. Accidental deaths were much less frequent before high-powered machinery began to spread with the Industrial Revolutio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cheer For You!
Cheering involves the uttering or making of sounds and may be used to encourage, excite to action, indicate approval or welcome.

''Cara'' is used by the 6th-century poet Flavius Cresconius Corippus, ''Postquam venere verendam Caesilris ante caram'' (''In Laud em Justini Minoris'').
