In television and radio broadcasting, late-breaking refers to news stories that require immediate reporting in the form of a short break in regular programming or a special report (e.g., a news event or weather event). Such breaks are typically displayed as alert crawls or “cut-ins,” and may include a voiceover or a shortened version of the story’s title. These types of interruptions were rarely used before 24-hour news networks and their associated live anchors became commonplace, but are now frequently seen for severe weather or other urgent issues.
To qualify as a Late-Breaking Abstract, the research described must report data that became available for public dissemination after the regular abstract submission deadline, and must be of critical importance to the clinical/scientific community. It cannot be a revision of an abstract submitted prior to the deadline, and it should not have been previously presented or published.
Braking in a race car is all about timing – brake too early and you’ll be re-passed or hit on your noggin, brake too late and you will overcook the corner and slide wide. The trick is to find the right balance, a process that can be learned through practice and known as Late Braking. There are two ways to approach this – pick a point on the track and judge by distance, or learn to feel the Force of the vehicle as it accelerates and then brake with less pressure over a larger area.
