[00:01]transform
[00:02]Bullet trains are already expanding the definition of a
[00:06]day trip and could help transform isolated backwaters
[00:10]like the inland city of Xian into booming heartland hubs.
[00:17]transmit
[00:18]In the past year, however, software companies have
[00:21]developed tools that allow companies to "push" information

[00:34]transport
[00:36]Additional social stresses may also occur because of

[00:49]nowadays by modern means of transport.
[00:54]deliver
[00:55]It's not our job to say where data might be useful; it's
[00:59]our job to unleash it and allow businesses and independent
[01:02]developers to build innovative services which they can then
[01:07]deliver to users.

[01:23]There are lots of talented, experienced people across the

[01:31]as a figure of national standing to help the President convey his
[01:35]agenda to the public.
[01:39]diagram
[01:41]Then the class creates a diagram showing the
[01:43]connections between and among these people and
[01:46]institutions, each one represented by a photograph, icon
[01:51]or other image, along with key facts, quotations and
[01:56]statements.
[01:59]portrait
[02:00]A relative of Zhong Jianqin, one of the eight Chinese
[02:03]peacekeepers who died in the recent Haiti earthquake,
[02:07]holds his portrait as she waits outside a morgue in
[02:10]Beijing, China.
