Cam Newton and Carolina are Not Scared of Richard Sherman
As a trash-talk connoisseur, I appreciate Richard Sherman. And as someone that can back up his talk, I appreciate him even more, but Carolina isn't intimidated by the self proclaimed best cornerback in the league and Cam Newton says he won't avoid throwing the ball to his side.
"If the play is called for me to read it to Richard's side, by all means I'm going to do it," Newton said Wednesday. "And I'm going to give each and every receiver an opportunity to make plays.
"I'm not going to force it. I'm not going to be an idiot. I'm going to do a great job of protecting the football and be aggressively patient in taking what the defense gives me."
"They have a very dominant secondary, physical secondary that does not hesitate to come downhill and play with reckless abandon and do bodily harm to the opposing team," Newton said. "As a fan of the game, you kind of like watching that from your TV.
"But when you're out there playing the game, you've got to make sure your chin strap is tightened up a little tighter and [you] understand executing the game plan is going to be at a premium this week more than any other week."
Rookie wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin, who will undoubtedly be lined up across from Sherman during times of the game, says that he will neutralize Sherman by matching his intensity.
"You can tell he loves the game," said Benjamin, whose 34 catches for 477 yards and five touchdowns lead all Carolina wide receivers. "He brings the passion to it. He has fun. He talks a lot of smack out there, but this is football.
"I'm just going to come out there and match his intensity, play fast and be sound in all my assignments."
While the "smack" might bother some receivers, Benjamin welcomes it.
"I might come off a little harder and block him a little harder, but that's on him — how much he talks," he said.
With both teams still reeling from disappointing losses last week and 3 games in the "L" column, this will be a critical week for Carolina and Seattle.
After uncharacteristic back to back losses and the unceremonious departure of Percy Havin, a loss to Carolina could lead to a complete downfall for this Seahawk team.
The Panthers, on the other hand, have always been able to rely on their stout defense, but this season it is one of the worst in the league. A win against the reigning Super Bowl champs could give the Panthers the confidence boost needed to continue to maintain the lead in this year's disappointing NFC South.
Sunday's game should be a good one.

This is a lighthearted, flirty scent with warmth and class. It is sweet but far from cloying; enticing and alluring, but never oppressive. Very feminine, free-spirited, and confident. Probably one of the sexiest scents of all time.
My favorite scent. I've used this brand for many years and always receive very nice comments.
Hadn't used this perfume in a while, but glad I ordered it ... getting a lot of compliments!
Has a classic French style fragrance.


More than 3.2 million learners are bullied yearly in South Africa.
When asked, 52% of learners characterised bullying as an act of verbal abuse and 22% explains it as physical abuse in the form of pushing, hitting and beating.
More than 67% of bully victims will not ask a teacher for help because they don't think it will change their situation.
90% of school bullying is carried out by learners.
8% of school bullying is carried out by teachers.
4% of learners know someone who is being bullied.
The Western Cape has the most reported cases of bullying with over 18.5% of learners reporting acts of abuse.
160 000 high school learners bunk school daily to avoid being bullied.
1 in 10 learners drop out of school to avoid being bullied.
16% of learners admit that they are victims of cyber-bullying.
The misconception that most have is that it is the teacher's responsibility to address bullying. You as parents have a responsibility too. Look for signs whether your child is happy at school or trying to avoid going at all costs. Communication is key! Try making it a daily activity where you discuss what happened at school and try to pick up on sudden mood changes. If you do suspect your child is the victim of bullying, contact the school and tell the principal or teacher.

Honoring Tissa David
Posted on October 23, 2012 by Art Babbitt
Today the New York animation community honored one of animation's finest artists: Tissa David, with a special screening of clips of her sequences, as well as words by speakers who knew her.
Tissa was a woman in a man's industry, and before passing away on August 21 at age 91, had cemented her spot in animation history.
She worked with Art Babbitt as a fellow master animator on Richard Williams' Raggedy Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure (1977). Tissa, who specialized in female characters, was a head animator for Raggedy Ann, while Art, who always specialized in toddling characters, was in charge of the Camel with Wrinkled Knees (original cel courtesy of Jackie and Red Auguston).
Below is Tissa and Art in 1990, at the last great gathering of classic animators: Grim Natwick's 100th Birthday (Courtesy of Michael Sporn). Tissa was Grim's animation assistant for many years, and Grim and Art's collaboration go back to 1930s at Disney and into UPA.
On a personal note, Tissa's was my very first interview in my professional writing career, for a 1000-word article in Animation Magazine about New York's women of the animation industry. On December 31, 2005, I had the privilege of sitting in Tissa's Westside apartment and hearing stories about her career. Although her thick Hungarian accent reminded me of the sweet matriarchs in my family, she was a no-nonsense lady with a youthful vigor about her. We spoke for 45 minutes, but here is her quotation that got me thinking "what if?" [and as an Art Babbitt fan, "what if" is a pretty common thought process]:
"You know, Disney never hired women. Never. All men. And it was a mistake. It was a mistake. Ollie Johnston once said [looking at female character animation], 'How do you do that?' I said, 'I used to be a young girl, at one time.' Because a man would never ever really animate a female character – a girl – the way a woman animator would. Their mean [villainous] women characters – they were all great. But not the girls. And mostly I thought that the girls in Peter Pan – oh, very terrible with the girls. As girls, not as animation; they were fabulous animators. But as girls…"

The good times are over! The days of extremely low volatility, with the VIX trading at 12 or 13 are now over. We may see an up day or a down day, but the volatility is now higher than it was before - perhaps permanently.


We live in an extremely polarised world in terms of languages. Currently, almost half of the global population communicates by the means of merely 10 different languages. The rest of the people use nearly 6000 different languages and dialects. This vast lingual diversity makes it very challenging for businesses to become ubiquitous despite the disappearing of other trade barriers, causing a large language service industry.
The Language Services industry is one of those few industries that achieved double digit growth rate even during the recession period. According to a report by Common Sense Advisory, the language services industry experienced a growth of 7.45% between the years 2009 and 2010. The global size of the language services industry was estimated to be US$26 billion in 2010, which definitely increased exponentially in last 3 years. Some analysts labelled this industry as the recession proof industry. According to a study, the fastest growing types of services include multimedia localisation, on-site interpreting, and video interpreting. Localisation is currently one of the most demanded language service, since it helps a business organisation to adapt their products, materials and organisational contents to a specific local market. Before engaging a local market, it is necessary to understand the context of the current world and decide on the basis of business potentials of the local market.
Asia is clearly emerging at an incredible pace. Also, the rise of Brazil and the sheer size and diversity of Africa made these two areas lucrative for business organisations. Let's take a closer look at these markets.
Asia currently is the new centre of gravity for consumerism. The shift from west to east is old news. By 2016, Asian consumers will use 25% of global consumer products and contribute to 37% of product market growth. Asian markets have become the engine of global consumer product retailers and companies, as noted in a report by Ernst and Young. According to the same report, it has been shown that 69% of senior executives of 276 top business organisations believe that emerging markets will be the main instrument for growth and profit for the next three years.
While China and India are the main leaders of Asia's emerge, other Asian nations such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Thailand are contributing to this staggering growth as well, which business organisations cannot afford to market. For example, Bangladesh is now a market of 160 million people and their economy has had a consistent GDP growth rate of over 6% for the last decade. Also, the local language Bengali is the 8th most common spoken language in the world with almost 210 million speakers. Businesses need to focus on these markets as well to get the full benefit of the growing consumerism in Asia. Effective Localisation is the key to proper implementation of business strategies and extension to local markets.
Africa is growing rapidly in business importance. Considering the high degree of lingual and cultural diversity in Africa, Localisation is critically important for establishment of business and profitable growth in this continent. From a study by Common Sense Advisory, it is revealed that 72.4% of the African consumers prefer to purchase products from businesses that communicate in their own language. Among 1 billion Africans, just 470 million speak English as their second language while less than 5% of African people speak English as their first language.
Hence, being capable of understanding the language and communicating with the audience in their own languages is key to creating a dominant presence in African local markets. In terms of area, Africa equals the size of China, America, India and Europe all taken together. Imagine the cultural and lingual diversity Africa fosters and then you can get an idea of the Localisation efforts needed to conquer the African markets.
The case of Arabic language shows the reluctance of business organisations towards the adaptation to localising practices in their marketing strategy. Arabic is the third most used official language in the world with more than 300 million speakers. For centuries, Arabic speaking countries played an important role in global politics. In this age of information technology, the Arabic language has reached another level of prominence. We will show the validity of this statement with the facts below.
In terms of online population, Arabic is spoken by more people than Russian, French or German. The economic importance of Arabic cannot be ignored, either. Research showed that the share of Arabic speakers in online gross domestic product is growing faster than that of the speakers of any other language. It has even surpassed the growth of Chinese during the period between 2011 and 2012. However, it is interesting that, despite this growth rate, companies are still lagging with localising their online content in Arabic. A report from CSA found that only four out of the top hundred brands on the Internet have localised their content in Arabic. Only 25 among Fortune 500 companies offer their websites in Arabic. Arabic is also growing at an incredible rate in the social media. For example, the number of Twitter users in the Arab countries jumped from 2 million to 3.7 million in last year.
While these facts clearly show that a business should not ignore the potential of Arabic, it is also true that Localisation in Arabic requires high degree of skills and attention to details due to the subtlety and nuance of the language, and the right to left scripting style. It is therefore important, when localising your content into Arabic, to be aware of the use of both the form and context.
The discussion so far shows why the language industry is growing so rapidly, and how Localisation became imperative for businesses to extend their activities to every corner of the world. However, companies are still not realising the changing dynamics of the world economy, and therefore not crafting their strategy according to these changes. Even when companies are localising, often they do not do it the right way. Vodacom and Nando's are among the front-runners who made Localisation their integral business practice. The executives of these two companies offered the following four tips for Business Managers to help them conquer local markets.
For Localisation, you actually need specialist help. Having a language services provider as a partner will greatly improve the speed of your project. However, before taking an LSP onboard, make sure that they meet your requirements and are capable of delivering what you are looking for.
Even a small mistake in translation can have disastrous consequences. While translating your business documents, contents and promotional materials, the local culture and context must be taken into consideration.
Service dominant (SD) logic is one of the fundamental philosophies of modern business practices. According to SD logic, every offering must be designed as service and consumers have to actively take part in the development and implementation phase. While you are extending your business to a local market, it is even more important to integrate the local audience into your services. The audience will show a more receptive attitude if they perceive their services as their own.
A foreign market is 'foreign' indeed, for your business. Despite preparing and maintaining all the requirements for effective Localisation, your effort might be futile and the market might reject your products. That is why it is safer to start small; based on the learning, you can then proceed to extend further. With the implementation of small projects, you are likely to have a steeper learning curve and eventually perform better than your competitors in localising your products.
Who will have the responsibility of responding to queries and calls coming from foreign markets?
Who is your target audience and what are the means of contact with them?
Who is going to check the quality of translation and Localisation projects and what method will be used to do that?
Are you fully aware of local customs and regulatory compliance laws?
Is there any component of your communication channel and material that might offend the local audience in any way?
Localisation is no longer luxury, but rather an inevitable method of expansion that almost every business in the world need to incorporate with their basic business functions to reach new markets in the changing context of the world. Vocabridge has a dedicated team to help your with your Localisation projects. For any queries, you can call us or reach us through our live chat. We are here to help you take all the benefits of emerging economies all over the world.

Der Flughafen Nizza Côte d'Azur (, IATA: NCE, ICAO: LFMN) ist ein internationaler Verkehrsflughafen sieben Kilometer westlich von Nizza an der Côte d'Azur. Er ist in Bezug auf die Anzahl der Flugbewegungen nach Paris-Charles de Gaulle und Paris-Orly der drittgrößte Flughafen Frankreichs. 2019 fertigte der Flughafen über 14 Millionen Passagiere ab, 2020 lediglich 4,57 Millionen Passagiere aufgrund der COVID-19-Pandemie.

Lage und Verkehrsanbindung
Der größte Teil des Geländes der südlicheren Landebahn wurde durch Landgewinnung und Erdaufschüttungen der vergleichsweise flachen Baie des Anges (Engelsbucht) abgewonnen. Der Fluss Var und dessen Mündung ins Mittelmeer befinden sich unmittelbar westlich vom Flughafengelände.

Bahn
Der dem Flughafen am nächsten liegende Bahnhof ist Nice-Saint-Augustin, der in weniger als 400 Meter Entfernung nördlich vom Terminal 1 an der Bahnstrecke Marseille–Ventimiglia liegt. Er befindet sich seit September 2022 an dieser Stelle, nach einer Verlegung um einige hundert Meter westwärts gegenüber dem ehemaligen Standort. Nahverkehrszüge des TER Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (TER PACA) in Richtung Nizza oder in Richtung Cannes fahren tagsüber im Taktabstand von höchstens 30 Minuten ab. Es besteht eine Verknüpfung von Bahn, Straßenbahn, Nah- und Fernverkehrsbuslinien.

Straßenbahn

Die Erschließung durch die Straßenbahnlinie 2 erfolgte im Dezember 2018. In Richtung Innenstadt endet diese am Hafen (Station Port Lympia). Die Benutzung ist auf dem Streckenabschnitt zwischen den Haltestellen Grand Arénas, Aéroport Terminal 1 und Aéroport Terminal 2 kostenlos.

Bus
Mehrere Stadt- und Regionalbuslinien verkehren an der Haltestelle Aéroport/Promenade, wenige Meter nördlich des Terminals 1, direkt an der berühmten Promenade des Anglais. Die Expressbuslinien 98 und 99 wurden im Zuge der Straßenbahnanbindung per Ende Juni 2019 eingestellt. Bei den Terminals 1 und 2 befinden sich jeweils Haltestellen für den Fernbusverkehr.

Straße
Mit dem Auto ist der Flughafen über die Autoroute A 8 (La Provençale) zu erreichen. Der Flughafen liegt einen Kilometer entfernt von der Anschlussstelle Nr. 50 Nice – Promenade des Anglais.

Helikopter
Der Flughafen verfügt über eine Hubschrauberverbindung. Die Flüge nach Cannes und Saint-Tropez werden mittels eines Hubschraubers angeboten. Regelmäßige Pendelflüge verbinden den Flughafen mit dem Héliport de Monaco.

Lärmschutz

Zur Vermeidung von Fluglärm gelten am Flughafen Nizza einige besondere Regelungen: Bei Abflügen dürfen Landflächen prinzipiell nicht in einer Höhe von weniger als 5000 ft AGL überflogen werden. Beim Start von der Bahn 04R oder 04L wird unmittelbar nach dem Abheben eine 90-Grad-Kurve auf das offene Meer hinaus eingeleitet, bei Starts von Bahn 22R oder 22L wird ebenfalls noch über dem Meer bald nach Süden abgedreht. Auch die Anflugverfahren sehen ein Überfliegen von Landflächen bei Sichtflugbedingungen nicht vor, die Flugrouten verlaufen deshalb entlang der Küstenlinie östlich vom Cap d'Antibes bzw. westlich vom Cap Ferrat und dem Mont Boron jeweils über dem Wasser. Der Endanflug erfolgt dann erst in einem Abstand von knapp 2 NM (gut 3 km) vor der Landebahnschwelle bei Anflug auf Bahn 22R/22L bzw. etwa 3 NM (fünfeinhalb km) beim Anflug auf Bahn 04R/04L. Ausnahme ist der ILS-Anflug in Betriebsrichtung 04, hier wird bei entsprechenden Bedingungen, die einen Sichtflug nicht erlauben, über Antibes hinweg auf direkter Achse die Landebahn angesteuert.

Abfertigungsgebäude
Der Flughafen verfügt über die beiden Terminals 1 und 2. Zwischen diesen verkehrt ein kostenloser Pendelbus, der auch dazwischen liegende Parkplätze bedient, sowie die ebenfalls kostenlos benutzbare Straßenbahnlinie 2.

Fluggesellschaften und Ziele
Der Flughafen Nizza ist mit zahlreichen französischen und europäischen Zielen verbunden. Darüber hinaus gibt es einige wenige Langstreckenverbindungen unter anderem nach New York und nach Dubai. Aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum wird Nizza unter anderem aus Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart, Berlin, München, Wien, Basel und Zürich angeflogen.

Ab dem 1. Juli 2017 wurde der Flughafen erstmals von einem Airbus A380 frequentiert.

Zwischenfälle
 Am 9. April 1949 überrollte eine Sud-Est SE.161/P7 Languedoc der Air France (Luftfahrzeugkennzeichen F-BATU) bei der Landung auf dem Flughafen Nizza das Landebahnende und kollidierte mit einer Begrenzungsmauer. Das Flugzeug wurde irreparabel beschädigt. Alle 35 Insassen, fünf Besatzungsmitglieder und 30 Passagiere, überlebten den Unfall.

 Am 3. März 1952 kurvte eine Sud-Est SE.161/P7 Languedoc (F-BCUM) der Air France gleich nach dem Start vom Flughafen Nizza nach links und nahm eine immer größer werdende Schräglage ein. Schließlich drehte sie sich auf den Rücken und stürzte etwa 1 Kilometer nördlich des Flughafens ab. Als Ursache wurde ein blockiertes Querruder ermittelt, welches durch eine abgesprungene Steuerkette an der Steuersäule des Kapitäns verursacht worden war. Dieser Aufbau der Steuerung wurde als Konstruktionsfehler festgestellt. Bei diesem schwersten Unfall einer Languedoc wurden alle 4 Besatzungsmitglieder und 34 Passagiere getötet.

cussion of this question with a brief quotation from the opinion in that case. In classifying the cases which are exempt from the rule that a complete written contract cannot be modified or contradicted by parol evidence, Judge Vann says: "The second class embraces those cases which recognize the written instrument as existing and valid, but regard it as incomplete either obviously, or at least possibly, and admit parol evidence, not to contradict or vary, but to complete the entire agreement of which the writing was only a part.
* Two things, however, are essential to bring a case within this class: (1) The writing must not appear upon inspection to be a complete contract, embracing all the particulars necessary to make a perfect agreement and designed to express the whole arrangement between the parties, for in such a case it is conclusively presumed to embrace the entire contract. (2) The parol contract must be consistent with and not contradictory of the written instrument." This extract we regard as a compendium of the law applicable to this case, and it follows that the defendant should have been allowed to make proof, if he could, of the express oral warranty alleged in his answer.
The judgment herein should be reversed, and a new trial granted, with costs to abide the event.

This action was brought to recover damages for injuries sustained by the plaintiff in a collision with one of defendant's trains at what is known as the "Eighty-Fourth Street Station" of that branch of its railroad which runs southerly from the city of Brooklyn to Ulmer Park. The Eighty-Fourth Street Station is in the Bath Beach section of the city of Brooklyn. The accident happened shortly before 11 o'clock on the morning of November 22, 1901. The plaintiff, a married woman, was on that date about 41 years of age, and, with her husband, had resided within a few blocks of the station mentioned for a number of years, so that she was familiar with the locality, and with the times of the running of trains on defendant's road. At Eighty-Fourth street the railroad consists of double tracks running generally north and south. The trains are propelled from an overhead trolley system. At that point the right of way is a private one derived from a steam railroad which had formerly been operated there. On each side of the tracks to the south of Eighty-Fourth street, which crosses the tracks from east to west, are concrete platforms 120 feet in length that serve as stations for persons intending to take passage on defendant's trains. The northbound trains run to Brooklyn and pass in front of the easterly platform, while the south-bound trains going to Ulmer Park pass in front of the westerly platform. At about 20 minutes to 11 on the morning of the accident the plaintiff, in company with her husband, left her home intending to take a train to Brooklyn which was scheduled to leave Eighty-Fourth street at 10:53. They approached the tracks from the west by a diagonal foot path across a vacant lot. When they had crossed this vacant lot, and had reached Eighteenth avenue, which is adjacent to the defendant's right of way on the west, they saw a train approaching from the south and then about 700 or 800 feet distant. They supposed that it was the 10:53 train to Brooklyn which they intended to take. Continuing towards the tracks and expecting to cross them to the opposite platform ahead of the approaching train their progress was interrupted by a train from Brooklyn which came in on the south-bound track in front of them, crossed Eighty-Fourth street and stopped at the platform on the westerly side. The rear end of the last car of this south-bound train stopped at about the northerly end of the platform on the westerly side, which is about 6 feet south of the Eighty-Fourth street crossing. As they crossed behind the rear car. of this train and emerged from behind it into the space between the two tracks, the plaintiff looked to the south and saw the oncoming north-bound train at the southerly end of the concrete platform about 120 feet

A pedestrian, intending to take passage on a train at a station, was struck by a train, which did not stop there. No warning was given that the train would not stop. Trains customarily stopped at the station which fact was known to the pedestrian. The pedestrian first saw the train about 700 or 800 feet from the station. She next saw it about 120 feet from her and instead of attempting to cross there, she walked a distance of 35 or 40 feet to a place at or near the center of a street and without looking for the approaching train she stepped on the track, and was injured. While walking the distance of 35 or 40 feet she was in a place of safety and could, at every instant, have commanded a full view of the approaching train.

The plaintiff and to sustain the conclusion that the plaintiff her husband acted upon the assumption that was free from contributory negligence. But this train was the one due to leave for there is something more. The plaintiff testified Brooklyn at 10:53, and that it would stop as that from the time when she and her husband usual in front of the Eighty-Fourth street reached Eighteenth avenue and first saw the platform in such a position that the first car north-bound train at a distance of 700 or 800 would not pass beyond the northerly end of feet south of the station, she did not see it the platform. It transpired, however, that it again until she looked around the rear end was not a regular train, and was not scheduled of the south-bound train which had stopped to stop at that station.

At that moment she saw the the plaintiff attempted to cross was shown, north-bound train coming into the southerly by the plaintiff's evidence, to be considerably end of the station at a distance of at least 120 to the north of the usual stopping place of feet south of the point from which she took trains at this station.

stoppage of the train that was in her mind when she concluded to make the "detour" of 35 or 40 feet to the north. In doing so she turned her back to the oncoming train and never looked again to see where it was, or whether it had stopped or not, although a simple turn of her head would have sufficed to gain for her this all-important information. Without a look, she put her foot upon the north-bound track. Before she could move forward, she was struck by the train which was then moving at the rate of 12 miles an hour. Without any attempt to exercise her senses of sight or hearing she stepped from the zone of absolute safety into a place of probable danger, and this at the very time when the exercise of her faculties was imperative, if her previous precautions were to be of any practical benefit. If such conduct does not properly support the legal inference of contributory negligence, then there can be no case in which the speculative finding of a jury upon that question may not be substituted for legal rules of evidence. It may be admitted, for the argument, that the custom of stopping all north-bound trains at this station and the failure of the defendant to give any signal or warning of its intention not to stop this particular train, might have lulled the plaintiff into a feeling of security such as described in the case of Parsons v. N. Y. C. & H. R. R. R. Co., 113 N. Y. 355, 363, 21 N. E. 145, 3 L. R. A. 683, 10 Am. St. Rep. 450. The obvious answer to that suggestion is that the plaintiff's own conduct, considered in the light of the surrounding circumstances, was utterly inconsistent with that theory. When the plaintiff and her husband reached the northerly end of the stationary south-bound train the
, according to the undisputed testimony, barely escaped collision with the oncoming train, Had the plaintiff attempted to follow even a moment later, an accident would have been inevitable. It was this emergency that must have suggested to the plaintiff the propriety of going to the north to a point beyond which the then moving train would be sure not to extend if it were going to stop at that station. Having done so much, how could the plaintiff be said to have exercised reasonable care and caution without even taking another look before stepping from her position of safety literally against the motor car which was then directly in front of her.
We do not deem it necessary to go into an extended discussion of the decided cases for, in the last analysis, the question of contributory negligence depends upon the application of well-settled legal rules to the special facts of each given case. As a gen. eral rule the question whether a person colliding with a railroad train has been guilty of contributory negligence is one of fact for a jury (Parsons v. N. Y. C. & H. R. R. R. Co., supra), and, as applied to the specific facts of this case, that rule is to be consider
ed in the light of another rule to the effect that a person who intends to take passage upon a railroad train and crosses the railroad tracks at a highway crossing commonly used for that purpose, is not held to the same strict exercise of care and caution that is required of the ordinary wayfarer along the highway. Terry V. Jewett, 78 N. Y. 338; Brassell v. N. Y. C. & H. R. R. R. Co., 84 N. Y. 241. Both of these rules might be successfully invoked in support of plaintiff's contention that her alleged contributory neg. ligence presented a question of fact for the jury, if it were not for the conclusive character of the evidence showing that plaintiff, although fully cognizant of the threatened danger, disregarded the most simple and obvious precautions for her safety that common prudence and ordinary intelligence could sug. gest. Having gone out of her way to avoid the train, she neglected to look for it at a time when every instinct of self-preservation and every dictate of common prudence demanded such action. Instead of attempting to cross at the usual place, relying upon the customary stoppage of the train, she had witnessed the dangerous, albeit successful, experiment of her husband, and concluded to defer her crossing to another time and place. Assuming that the plaintiff walked at the rate of four miles an hour, it would have taken her between 5 and 6 seconds to make her "detour" of 35 feet, while it would have taken the train, running at the rate of 12 miles an hour, between 8 and 9 seconds to reach the place where she attempted to cross; that point being 155 feet north of the southerly entrance to the station. Thus, although this was a matter of seconds, the plaintiff still had an appreciable period of time in which to look for the train, after she had arrived at the place where she attempted to cross and before that point had been reached by the train. These are the facts which differentiate this case from Palmer v. N. Y. C. & H. R. R. R. Co., 112 N. Y. 234, 19 N. E. 678; Beecher v. Long Island R. R. Co., 161 N. Y. 222, 55 N. E. 899, and the other cases relied upon by the plaintiff. In all of those cases there were circumstances from which it was reasonable to draw the inference, either that such care had been exercised as was required in the circumstances, or that the necessity for such care had been obviated by conditions well calculated to lull a reasonably prudent person into a sense of security. In the case at bar the plaintiff's own testimony affirmatively establishes, not only her failure to exercise necessary care. but her evident understanding and appreciation of the conditions which attended her attempt to cross the tracks.

band ran, took greater care than he, and relying, as she had the right to, on the absence of signals and the uniform custom of the defendant, met with injury owing to its negligence. The strict rule governing travelers at a highway crossing does not apply to one who is compelled to cross tracks in order to reach a railway station, which, when a train is due, is a constant invitation to come and take it. It was the duty of the defendant to so arrange its trains that a person intending to take passage could get on one without being injured by another. The plaintiff had the right to assume, in the absence of any warning, that the north-bound train would stop where such trains always had stopped. She may have erred in judgment in believing that the defendant would do its duty and warn her if a train passed by without stopping, but since she took care to walk far around instead of following her husband straight across, she should not be turned out of court on the ground that she took no care whatever. While she did not take all the care possible, since she took some, it was for the jury to say whether she took enough, and we should not hold that she was negligent as matter of law. Strict rules are required to protect passengers and those about to enter a station intending to become passengers, and every decision which tends to undermine their safety is a misfortune to the traveling public. I vote to affirm.

CULLEN, C. J. The action is brought by the plaintiff, a Virginia corporation, as the assignee of the Safety Fund Insurance Society, a New York corporation, to foreclose a mortgage executed by the two appellants, husband and wife, to said lastnamed corporation to secure the payment of a joint and several bond executed and delivered to the same party at the same time. The defendants pleaded as a defense and set-off a claim held by the defendant Joseph Damon against the plaintiff's assignor on two participation certificates issued by that corporation, the nature of which certificates is not material to this discussion. On the trial it appeared that the plaintiff's assignor and its assignee had entered into what is called "a consolidation agreement," by which the plaintiff was to acquire all the assets of its assignor and to administer those assets in discharge of its assignor's obligation, but the debts of the assignor were in no degree to be assumed by the plaintiff. The Special Term found the maturity of the participation certificates before the assignment of the mortgage in suit to the plaintiff and the liability thereon of the plaintiff's assignor to the defendant Joseph. It made a decree in favor of the defendants canceling the bond and mortgage and awarding them judgment against the plaintiff or the excess of the amount due on the certificates over that due on the bond and mortgage. The Appellate Division reversed this judgment, and ordered a new trial. The unanimous order entered upon this decision reversed the judgment on questions of law only, and affirmatively declared in the body of the order that the facts had been examined and no error found therein. From the order of the Appellate Division the defendants have appealed to this court, giving the requisite stipulation.
Under the form of the order of the Appellate Division the facts found by the trial court are conclusive on this court. The only question before us is whether those facts justified or required a reversal of the judgment rendered thereon by the Special Term. That the plaintiff, under its agreement with its assignor, was not liable personally for the debts of the latter corporation is entirely clear. Therefore, the Appellate Division was doubtless correct in reversing so much of the judgment as award

In an action by the assignee of a mortgage to foreclose such mortgage where a claim held by defendant against plaintiff's assignor exceeding the amount due on the obligation secured by the mortgage is pleaded as a "defense and set-off," and such set-off and defense are sustained, plaintiff is not liable for the excess of the sum due on defendant's claim over that due on the mortgage obligation, though he failed to serve a reply to defendant's answer, as such answer did not distinctly plead defendant's claim as a "counterclaim."

Every new student hears about the hauntings on campus when they arrive at Castleton University, like the infamous unexplained noises in Ellis Hall and the stories surrounding Old Chapel and the Art House.
But have you heard of the haunting in the Fine Arts Center?
At first, it was all second-hand stories of feelings and encounters that piqued my interest, but it wasn't until my first encounter that I knew for certain there was something there.
It was one of those nights in the spring where there was a cool breeze that swept across campus. I was in the Green Room with a few friends at around 11-12 p.m. discussing the stories I had heard about the FAC. I was with Katy Albert, who has since graduated, when I asked her about her experiences in the building. I had heard from a mutual friend of ours that she had some strange things happen to her and I had to ask.
During her first weekend at Castleton, she was helping a friend in the Black Box Theater. At that point, she hadn't heard any of the stories surrounding the building, so when she saw someone walk down the stairs into the little theater, she assumed it was her friend.
She kept looking at the man she saw and suddenly realized it wasn't her friend at all; it was a man in a suit and top hat.
She watched him walk across the stage and into a corner where he then looked at her. She blinked to adjust her eyes and get a better look, but suddenly, he was gone.
This, however, was not her only encounter with the ghost.
On a different occasion, she was in the green room at around 2 a.m. working on a project with a friend. Throughout the night they kept hearing noises and seeing shadows moving around the room. All of the activity was centered around the furniture closet in the back corner when all of a sudden, she saw a shadow move from the closet into the women's dressing room and then vanish.
During the conversation, I suddenly got overwhelmed with chills.
I couldn't help but keep looking over her shoulder to the back corner where the furniture closet was located. I had this overwhelming feeling that someone was there watching us, but every time I looked over, there was no one there.
Feeling this disembodied energy in the exact area she had previously seen it only solidified what had happened to her.
It was the first time I felt him, but definitely not the last.
During the performance of one of the student-directed Black Box shows, I was sitting stage left by the door waiting for my entrance, when I felt there was something in the back of the house. There wasn't a light on, and there was just a sliver of light coming from the cracks in the doors. Suddenly, I saw a shadow in the back of the house and I immediately was overwhelmed with a sense of fear.
Recently, I had that same feeling. I was in the house of the theatre after a rehearsal for "Catch Me If You Can" and I was talking to some of my cast mates about the ghost.
They admitted that they had never heard of him.
As soon as I started talking about him, I got chills that ran through my entire body. In that moment, I knew he was there, however, this time I couldn't pinpoint an exact location.
It felt as though I was enveloped in his energy. No matter where I turned or walked it felt like he was coming at me from every direction. I started to tell my friends we have to get out.
Tears were welling in my eyes and I was rushing for the door. They all looked at me like I was crazy, but they followed me to the lobby. As soon as I stepped out of those doors, it felt as though 30 pounds had been lifted off of my chest.
I told my good friend Jess Nguyen about what happened, and she told me that recently she had been working on homework in the FAC when she walked to the bathroom. When she walked by the theater, the doors were open and she felt as though she was being watched. She had a feeling as though someone was standing in the middle of the stage looking out through the doors and watching her. On her way back by, she felt the same thing and wanted to look but was afraid to for fear she would see someone standing there.
Other students report having seen something out of the corner of their eye, but when they turn to look there is nothing there.
Harry McEnerny, chair of the Theatre department, said he hasn't see the ghost, but put me into contact with alumnus Staci Jedlick. The experiences she shared with me took a darker turn. One night she and a small group of students were in the FAC at night. She decided to bring out a Ouija board just to see what would happen. She said they started out with "the dumb questions to see what would happen." After a while, some of the students she was with decided to start asking about one of their friends from home who had passed away.
She admits that after that point things started to get really weird. Three of the students including Jedlick had no idea who this person was, whereas the other two were becoming more and more freaked out by the answers they were getting. The two eventually became so frightened they started crying and said we need to leave.
After they calmed down, they explained to the others that the reason they were so freaked out was because all of the answers were so spot on. While the two were explaining what had happened, one of the other students noticed that she had scratches on her arms that were not there before.
Although there is no clear connection to the man in the top hat in this scenario, she described other occurrences that fall in line with the encounters described by other students.
She said that there were many nights where she and other students were in the building late at night working on various projects when they would hear someone walking across the stage from the green room. When they would walk up the stairs to check it out they would find that there was no one around. It was especially eerie because the building was locked at the time so no one could get in.
For some, this may seem unsurprising because historically speaking, theater buildings are some of the most haunted places around. And while McEnerny hasn't seen the FAC ghost, he has had experiences in other theaters.
The experiences occurred, he said, when he was feeling a strong emotion or feeling. One time he was very angry and a shadow appeared before him, whereas another time he was laughing and having a good time when a man in a brown suit appeared and then vanished.
Hauntings in theaters are so prevalent that most use ghost lights to appease the spirits and to prevent them from interfering with the set and other potentially hazardous fixtures.
Here at Castleton, we too have a ghost light.
After the encounters that I, and those around me have had, it is wise that we actively use one because we may never know who this man is, but he will make sure we know he's here.


Another project that has finally moved into its second phase is a "radio" drama I write and produce with Jan-Erik Åberg and Stefan Ingstrand (read Stefans blog at Tumblr if you are into superheroes). It's a sf/fantasy story in 18 episodes (season 1, that is) about … Ah, I'll save that for a different post. We will soon start recording and the result will be podcast. I promise to post the link here.
But I'll try to write here occasionally, as well. I really should share my thoughts with you about what it means when people talk about "the new Tolkien".
It's good to have you back. Your posts always make interesting reading.

Q: Play several sound effects simultaneously using OpenSL ES Android I'm using OpenSL ES for playing music and sounds in my project. I've used native-audio sample as start and it's fine for reproduce background music and a single sound but when I try to reproduce two or more sounds at same time the sounds aren't reproduced simultaneously because the sound buffers are enqueued for playback when all previous buffers are played.
Then, after a little research, I've found two ways to fix it, in short:

*

*Use several audio players (and therefore buffer queues) for reproduce the sounds.

*Mix the sound effects buffers together into a single buffer and then enqueue.

My questions are:
What do you think is the best approach? There's a better way that I've ignored?
Thanks in advance.

A: I'm working with OpenSL ES as well. Little bit complicated ay the beginning...
Anyway you can create as much ObjectPlayer you want, always remember that the maximum ammount of objects is 32.
So, ideally, if you want to play 4 sounds at the same time, you need 4 PlayerObject and 1 OutputMixObject
Hope you can find usefull

A: Here's a completely different approach: I'm using SoundPool to do this: It's very simple and it works perfectly.

Non Profit Grants
How can nonprofit grants help you? Well, because of the current economic crises, many people from most countries around the globe are experiencing severe financial difficulty. The employment sector is one of the most affected areas because companies have been forced to trim their employee headcount in order to stay operational. That is the only way they can continue to churn a profit. What do these people who have been laid off have left to do? One option is to start their own small business. That's where nonprofit grants from the government and other private organizations can be beneficial.
Women are among the major beneficiaries of nonprofit grants. After the massive layoffs from a number of big companies filing for bankruptcy, a number of women who are single mothers, divorced or widowed are left without any means for a decent income. The government has made it possible for these women to successfully apply for nonprofit grants. High school students may also receive these grants, especially if they are the offspring of people who recently been laid off. These kids are granted some of the free money so that they can carry on with their studies, finish school and find their own means of income. Usually, these grants are offered to graduating students so that they can continue to college and obtain the tools to build bright future.
Non profit grants range from $500 to $100,000. Specifically, student grants starts from $500 to $12,000 while higher amounts such as $50,000 to $100,000 are granted for higher purposes, including starting a small business. The government is the most stable institution that awards nonprofit grants, but you can also find private organizations and individuals who are providing assistance to deserving individuals in the form of nonprofit grants. These grants may not be as high, but they are no less helpful in the pursuit of an educational goal.
You can choose to apply for a grant from the government and from these organizations depending on your needs. They all have the same basic procedure and requirements, although the requirements from private resources may be stricter than what the government is asking for. However, either of these two can provide you with the necessary funds to tap your potential and complete your education. All you have to do is Apply Now!

CHESTER AIKIDO CLUB
Ryusuikan Dojo
ABOUT AIKIDO
CLASS STRUCTURE
The Aikikai Foundation
Founded in 1948 for spreading the teachings of the Founder throughout the world, the Aikikai Foundation, with its headquarters at the Hombu Dojo in Tokyo, is the guiding body of orthodox Aikido. It is represented in more than fifty countries. The Director of the foundation is Moriteru Ueshiba, the grandson of the founder. He is referred to as Doshu (Master of the Way).
The British Aikido Federation
In 1968, the Aikikai of Great Britain was founded under the direction of Kazuo Chiba Shihan who had been assigned to Britain by the Aikikai Foundation, Tokyo, with the responsibility of developing Aikido in this country. In 1976 (until 2019) Minoru Kanetsuka Shihan became the Technical Director of the organisation which had been renamed the British Aikido Federation. With its student wing, the British Universities Aikido Federation, the BAF is composed of affiliated clubs or dojos from all over England and Wales (in 1978 the Scottish clubs previously affiliated to the BAF formed an independent Scottish Aikido Federation which maintains the closest links with the BAF). It is one of a very small number of associations in England and Wales with 'Full Recognition' from the Aikido World Quarters (the Hombu Dojo, Tokyo) and membership of the International and European Aikido Federations.
The British Aikido Federation remains closely linked with Aikido World Headquarters. All dan grades (black belt holders) within the BAF are recognised by the Hombu Dojo and registered with the Intentional Aikido Federation and receive certificates issued by the Head of the World Aikido Movement, the Doshu Moriteru Ueshiba.
The structure of the BAF Teaching Syllabus is closely based on that of the Hombu Dojo and not only proficiency of technique but also the correctness of manner and attitude is greatly emphasised. Many national courses are held each year at local centres all over the UK. Two major national courses, the Spring Course and the week-long Chester Summer School attract many Aikido students from abroad too.
Joint Aikido Council
All members of the BAF enjoy the benefits of both Public Liability Insurance and Personal Accident Insurance, and all BAF Instructors have Professional Indemnity Insurance and basic first aid qualifications. The BAF is a member of the Joint Aikido Council. The JAC is an umbrella organisation that represents, in the UK, all seven groups that are recognised, affiliated to and supported by the Aikikai Foundation (Hombu Dojo) the World headquarters of Ueshiba Aikido.
Thanks to its wide international connections the BAF stands very much in the mainstream of Aikido development, and by virtue of its close ties with the Hombu Dojo, it maintains a wholly orthodox direction in its teaching and development.

Paul Hollister Jordan, Jr.
Paul Hollister Jordan, Jr., 88, of Kingston, N.Y. passed away on Friday, June 22, 2018 at Health Alliance Hospital - Broadway Campus in Kingston, peacefully, surrounded by his family.
He was born on May 20, 1930 in Syracuse, N.Y. and was the son of the late Paul and Muriel Bradley Jordan, Sr. He grew up in Watertown, N.Y. Paul was a graduate of Deerfield Academy, Deerfield, MA. and Yale University, New Haven, CT. He proudly served in the United States Navy during the Korean War.
His first job was working alongside his father in their family business- Bradley Hardware in Watertown, N.Y. In 1955, he arrived in Kingston, N.Y. to work for Herzog's Supply Company. This transition was intended to be a one-year position; however, 63 years later Paul retired as Executive Vice President of Herzog's Home & Paint Centers. Paul worked well into his eighties because of the joy he received working with his family and long time co-workers.
As a community minded person, Paul served as an officer of the Rotary Club of Kingston, TIDA Investment Club and Callabar Club. He was also a supporter of St. Joseph's RC Church.
In 1980 he married college sweetheart, Julie (Lee) Jordan of Litchfield, C.T. Together they enjoyed playing tennis, earning membership in the 3500 Hiking Club, frequent trips to New York City to enjoy Broadway shows and travelling the world for over 20 years. Throughout his life he cherished summer family vacations on Lake Chaumont in upstate New York while spending several weeks during the winter in Key West, Florida.
When asked by his grandchildren what he considered his greatest accomplishment in life, Paul responded, "raising my four children to be considerate adults with strong family values". He will be remembered as a true gentleman who was always friendly and kind. Every important decision he made in his life was dictated by the happiness of his family. His greatest joy was the pride he had in the accomplishments of his 13 grandchildren whether academically, athletically or personally.
He is survived by his four children; Elizabeth Jordan (Betsy), her husband Tom Polk and children Paul and Louise; David Jordan, his wife Claudia and children Thomas and Antonia; Bradley Jordan his wife Patricia and children Taylor and Bradley, Jr.; Todd Jordan his wife Julie and children Brent, Cole, Reid and Bailey. He is further survived by his sister Sarah Philips and husband Alfred, first wife Susan Herzog Jordan and three step-children Joyce Poole, Robert Poole and Virginia Poole, and their respective spouses Petter Granli, Gina Poole and John Rentzepis and three step-grandchildren. He is pre-deceased by his wife Julie (Lee) and sister Judith Minor and her husband William.
Paul H. Jordan will be cremated and a ceremony for immediate family will be held. There are no calling hours. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Rotary Club of Kingston or a charity of your choice.

Welcome to IGN's Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate Guide. This page contains information on the Monster - Rathalos.
Like other monsters that spend a majority of the fight in the air, be prepared to know your weapon's methods of attacking the airborne when you can. If there are no ledges, attack the tail first. It will be the part of the body closest to the ground and with enough damage will be chopped off for a quick carve as well. Do your best to hit his wings and head when landed, as you won't have access to these parts of him when he's in the air. Keep an eye out for his fireball attacks as well as the more devastating airborne claw attack that also deals poison damage. Keep bludgeoning his legs and face when he is knocked down and he'll be toast in no time and don't forget to bring flash pods to knock him out of the air as well if timed properly.

Q: Server side includes on app engine ()? I have been trying to figure this out a while. I would like to make my app engine website use basic html and shtml whenever in order to avoid the slow warm-up phase of jsp apps on app engine. This is so that my landing pages load instantly.
Basically, I am trying to include an html file into my main html file (index.html - I tried index.shtml). This is the command I try:
<!-- include virtual="header.html" -->

However it does not work. The server side includes to not seem to get executed in app engine. Do I need to enable these commands somewhere first - or does app engine simply not allow them?

A: SSI is a web-server-specific feature that GAE appears not to support.
(This per Nick Johnson, who's quite active on this site.)
