(CNN) -- An underground train overran its stop in Hoboken, New Jersey, colliding with the bumper block at the station on Sunday morning, officials said.

At least 20 passengers suffered minor injuries, according to Port Authority spokesman John Kelly.

There was no derailment, he added.

Several people were transferred to Hoboken University Medical Center for treatment.

Bumper blocks stop trains that pass their stops, absorbing the impact.

A similar incident occurred in 2009 at the 33rd Street Station near Herald Square in Manhattan, when a train crashed into a barricade.

Authorities say they are investigating Sunday's incident.

One is always on a strange road, watching strange scenery and listening to strange music. Then one day, you will find that the things you try hard to forget are already gone.

《飞屋环游记》
  Happiness is not about being immortal nor having food or rights in one's hand. It’s about having each tiny wish come true, or having something to eat when you are hungry or having someone's love when you need love.

《当哈利遇见莎莉》
  Love is a lamp, while friendship is the shadow. When the lamp is off,you will find the shadow everywhere. Friend is who can give you strength at last.

  I love you not for who you are, but for who I am with you.

  Love makes man grow up or sink down.

  If you can hold something up and put it down, it is called weight-lifting; if you can hold something up but can never put it down,it's called burden-bearing. Pitifully, most of people are be

Language ideology refers specifically to the perceptions held by people about language and, more importantly, how those perceptions are projected onto speakers. University of Michigan Professor of Anthropology Judith Irvine defines a language ideology as 'the cultural system of ideas about social and linguistic relationships, together with their loading of moral and political interests' (1989). Walt Wolfram and Natalie Schilling-Estes define language ideolog

Jenkins, Jennifer (2003) World englishes Routledge

P 34: One of the cultural shocks of September 11 is, overwhelmingly, that English is simply not enough. We cannot understand the world in English, much less search out intelligence, build ever larger coalitions of friends, and heal some of the longstanding wounds of the past. We need to be ware as never before of foreign languages and of the ways in which languages identify and represent their cultures.

by Hilary Footitt, Chair of the University Council of Modern Languages

(Guadian Education, 23 October 2001, p. 15)

Having a common language helps us to see ourselves as human beings who live on the same planet, and to that extent can be said to form one community. The value of knowing English lies not only in the ability to access material things, but also in the possibility it offers for creating acceptacne of, and respect for, the World's diversity. English allows us to advance toward global exc

Noah Webster (1758–1843) - Webster's Innovations, Perfecting the Spelling Book for Reading Instruction, Other Works

the following is from the website: http://education.stateuniversity.com/pages/2544/Webster-Noah-1758-1843.html

The first person to write a dictionary of American English and permanently alter the spelling of American English, Noah Webster through his spelling book taught millions of American children to read for the first half-century of the republic and millions more to spell for the following half-century.

Born a farmer's son in what is now West Hartford, Connecticut, Webster attended Yale College from 1774 to 1778, during the Revolutionary War. After graduating, he taught at Connecticut district schools before studying for the bar. The dismal conditions of these schools, combined with

Escape the Crowds in the Grasslands

 

Spend a little time traveling in China, and you'd be forgiven for thinking the country is an unending series of jam-packed metropolises. From the megacities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen to the third-tier regional centers few outside the mainland have heard of, China is not short on crammed buildings and bustling crowds — an unavoidable consequence of having a population of 1.3 billion. But because so much of the population is concentrated along the coastal and central regions, the north and west have some wonderful open spaces. Just a two-hour flight out of Beijing, near the Inner Mongolian city of Hailar, is the Jinzhan
