An optimality-theoretic account of split-ergativity in Southern Quiznos
Hans Forz
Among linguists, split
"If the Romans had been obliged to learn Latin, they would never have found the time to conquer the world."
ergativity has long been recognized as one of the most pervasive impediments to human understanding. A particularly puzzling case is apparent in the language of Southern Quiznos, which has provoked several mutually contradicting analyses. For instance, Bloomfield (1924) suggests that split ergativity in Southern Quiznos is sensitive to animacy. Animate subjects are marked with the nominative, while inanimate subjects carry the ergative marker.
(1) a. Bob-o ham sub-by
Bob-NOM eat.PRS sandwich-ACC
'Bob eats the sandwich.'
b. Sub-br nja philly-ø
sandwich-ERG need.PRS cream cheese-ABS
'The sandwich needs more cream cheese.'
Bloomfield's observation is contradicted by the following data reported by Hockett (1946):
(2) Tja-br ham trsk-ø
Charles-ERG eat.PRS tomato-ABS
'Charles eats the tomato.'
Hockett proposes that split ergativity in Southern Quiznos does not follow distinctions on the basis of animacy, but on the basis of shape. While sandwiches are usually square in the cultural setting of Southern Quiznos, cheeses come in the traditional shape of small balls. Tomatoes have a similarly round shape.
"Grammar, which knows how to lord it over kings, and with high hands makes them obey its laws."
—Jean Baptiste Poquelin Moliere
Hockett's finding has been subsequently criticized by Mithun (1984), who tried to elicit the sentence 'The ketchup soaked the chocolate chip cookie', which to her surprise yielded the nominative-accusative pattern. This marking contradicts both Bloomfield's and Hockett's predictions.
The present paper argues that the seemingly unpredictable split-ergative pattern in Southern Quiznos falls out of three constraints that are ranked relative to each other. Based on these constraints, an optimal output is generated by the speakers of Southern Quiznos.
The first constraint is, quite in line with the proposal of Bloomfield (1924), that animate subject referents should be marked with the nominative case. This constraint will be called the ANIMACY constraint. As the data from Hockett (1946) and Mithun (1984) show, this constraint is violable. A seemingly obvious question that linguists have failed to ask is under what circumstances ANIMACY can be violated. Apparently, other constraints hold in Southern Quiznos that outrank the importance of marking animate subject referents with the nominative case, as shown in (2).
"I am the King of Rome, and above grammar."
A factor that has been overlooked in much linguistic research is the relevance of color in the case marking of objects. Sandwiches, which are usually brown on the outside, receive accusative case in Southern Quiznos. By contrast, tomatoes and cream cheese are marked with the absolutive case. This suggests that object marking in Southern Quiznos is sensitive to the color hierarchy proposed in Berlin and Kay (1969) which is shown in (3).
(3) black/white > red > green > yellow > blue > brown
Objects to the right of the color red are usually marked with the accusative case, while objects to the left are marked with the absolutive. The constraint that ensures this marking will be called the RED CROSS constraint, because the marking crosses over at the color red. RED CROSS predicts that black objects will receive absolutive marking, which is confirmed in sentences such as 'Bob hit the chimney-sweep.'
With RED CROSS outranking ANIMACY, many of the problematic data in the literature on Southern Quiznos can be explained, but unfortunately there are still problem cases such as (4), which have been brought up by Lucy (1991).
(4) Tja-o ham trsk-ky
Charles-NOM eat.PRS tomato-ACC
" 'Children, don't speak so coarsely,' said Mr. Webster, who had a vague notion that some supervision should be exercised over his daughters' speech, and that a line should be drawn, but never knew quite when to draw it. He had allowed his daughters to use his library without restraint, and nothing is more fatal to maidenly delicacy of speech than the run of a good library."
stands in direct contradiction to the present account, since ANIMACY appears to override RED CROSS. Is this perhaps a dialectal issue? A consultation of Lucy's original field notes shows that the pattern is consistent across speakers of different varieties. However, the consultation also shows that the same speakers resort to the regular marking shown in (2) on other occasions. After checking the dates of the field notes, it became apparent that speakers were using the nominative-accusative pattern on Saturdays and Sundays, while the ergative-absolutive pattern was used between 9am and 5pm on regular working days. During coffee breaks and on national holidays, some speakers show marginal usage of nominative-accusative marking even at those times. We thus propose a third constraint, which will be labeled the WEEKEND constraint, which outranks both other constraints and thus enforces nominative marking on animate subjects in the spare time of speakers of Southern Quiznos.
The proposed account shows that optimality theory can straighten out even the worst things that languages come up with.

SENIOR United Nations officials have accused Syrian forces of preventing aid deliveries to the besieged city of Aleppo.
Under a US-Russian ceasefire arrangement, all forces are supposed to have withdrawn from a main road leading into the city to allow free passage of supplies.
"The government, I repeat the government, was expected to provide permits, authorisations," United Nations Special Envoy for Syria Staffande Mistura said in Geneva. The ceasefire appeared to be holding yesterday, with no civilian deaths reported for 24 hours.

Q: Is this the correct way to AND two signals? ARCHITECTURE
    SIGNAL in_adc_1 : unsigned(0 DOWNTO 0)  := (OTHERS => '0');
    SIGNAL in_adc_2 : unsigned(0 DOWNTO 0)  := (OTHERS => '0');

    BEGIN PROCESS -- counter_4_bit
        var count : in std_logic_vector(3 downto 0);
        IF (in_adc_1 = '1' and in_adc_2 ='1') THEN
            var_AddVoltage_ch16 <=  count + 1;
        END IF;
    END PROCESS;
END ARCHITECTURE rtl;

A: First of all, it is not clear to me why you are using unsigned type for one bit vectors. Nevertheless, your if statement will generate a compile-time error if you write it that way. The correct way of writing the same if statement using unsigned type will be,
IF (in_adc_1 = "1" and in_adc_2 = "1") THEN

The "1" (in double quotes) here represents a vector of only one bit.
The second if statement provided by you in the comments section reads IF (in_adc_1 and in_adc_2 := 1). Again this will have to be modified in the following way, for the statement to compile correctly.
IF ((in_adc_1 and in_adc_2) = "1") THEN

Both ways of AND-ing are correct as far as the compile tools are concerned.
However, you could use the types std_logic or bit to achieve the same functionality (as pointed out in the comments). In this case the above if statement should be re-written as,
IF (in_adc_1 = '1' and in_adc_2 = '1') THEN

or as
IF ((in_adc_1 and in_adc_2) = '1') THEN

The '1' (in single quote) is a single bit when the signal is of type std_logic or bit.
Note: In VHDL, := is used for variable assignments or for providing initial values

A: Without the process being clock driven the counter will probably not work as expected.
ARCHITECTURE
-- Change to std_logic here unless you really need it the other way for some reason
SIGNAL in_adc_1 : std_logic;
SIGNAL in_adc_2 : std_logic;

BEGIN PROCESS -- counter_4_bit
    var count : in std_logic_vector(3 downto 0);
    -- Synchronize your counter
    IF rising_edge(clk) THEN
        IF (in_adc_1 = '1' and in_adc_2 ='1') THEN
            var_AddVoltage_ch16 <=  count + 1;
        END IF;
    END IF;

Do You Like Kipling? Thoughts On Love, Writing, And Postcards
I knew nothing about postcards until I one day found myself writing slogans for a postcard company to support a family. Not that there's anything wrong with having a family. But as anyone who knows me will attest, I'm not exactly the "family type."
However, as anyone who has ever played the game of poker will also attest, a successful poker game largely depends on knowing when to fold. Therefore, meeting a strong woman who was willing to enlighten the darkest corners of my mind had to be properly weighed against the prospect of breaking the bank later in life due to overplaying my hand. So I chose to cash out.
There is an innate human need and desire to share affection that has proven remarkably resilient over the centuries. I know this, of course, because I have always felt wedged between my love for solitude and love for the stage. As a writer, I depend on solitude to out the devils from which I draw inspiration, conflict and resolution. Yet as a man, I largely rely on the cruelty of the stage—the centerpiece to every loving woman's heart—to correct any missed lines or bad acting on my part. After all, the root of love is not timid affirmation or critique, but rather unconditional trust and honesty.
Love is like writing. To achieve results, one must invest sufficient hours and labor. One must proactively seek and take advantage of opportunities that both arise or stowaway in the cabins of daily life. One must learn their strengths, acknowledge their weaknesses, and show a willingness to learn and grow. Once this has been realized, only then can the starry-eyed bride, the smitten bachelor, or the hopeless romantic achieve a position where true love can flourish. And even then, the work is still not done.
Postcards, on the other hand, are like love. They have solidified relationships and delivered heartbreak, encouraged perseverance and demanded surrender, rekindled old alliances and spawned new enemies. Indeed, if love is an inward journey through the soul, then postcards are the outward expression of the heart. The real question is whether one is ever truly prepared to experience either. I suspect most of us aren't. However, are any of us made worse as a result?
Such outward expressions are a powerful force. In this spirit, postcards have braved the frontlines of some of history's most infamous battles. Against all odds, they have traveled on the backs of animals, in the boxcars of locomotives, and on the deck of vessels. They have, as love always seems to do, found a way to reach their intended recipient—who, may or may not, reciprocate. Yet, despite the uncertainty we sometimes feel, still rarely are we capable of containing what certainly must be expressed.
Love is the art of balancing souls. But while love may manifest itself in many forms, few forms of love are more tangible and long lasting than the spontaneous burst of passion at a random interval with a passing spirit that reflects your own. Of course, not everyone in life will come to know or experience this feeling. Which is why those of us who do have a unique responsibility to make the most of what might be, preserve what is, and in moments of adversity, fight for what was.
"Deltiology," on the other hand, is the art of collecting postcards. It is the third largest hobby in the world, eclipsed only by coin and stamp collecting. Yet despite the immense popularity of postcards, still no postcard compares to the rush of emotion experienced when mutual feelings evolve into action. When two humans conclude they were meant to be together, and nothing in the world is going to stop them.
The most popular postcard of all time depicts a young man sitting next to a young woman under the shade of a tree while holding a Rudyard Kipling book. In the picture, the young man is looking at the woman and posing the question: "Do you like Kipling?" To which the young woman is responding, "I don't know, you naughty boy, I've never kippled."
It was a risky postcard for the time. For centuries, such innuendos were considered lewd or taboo. However, like most sweet tastes in life, it was also worth defying norms and pushing the boundaries for. After all, what is life without risk? Without spice? Without danger? Love is no exception. If anything, love is the standard. And when it comes to the most important things in life, love is usually the solution.
I still think about postcards. I think about how I used to sit at work, watching them come and go, rolling up and down the conveyor belt, not too unlike the loves that also came in and out of my life. But more than anything, I think about how fortunate I am to have found a woman who isn't afraid to correct any missed lines or bad acting on my part. A passing spirit who also likes Kipling.

Kids "Shop with the Rush" for holiday presents for siblings and parents
Mackenzie Dahlberg,
RAPID CITY, S.D. – Rapid City Rush players and coaches went on a shopping trip with kids during the first Shop with the Rush event at the Fleet Farm store.
Kids of all ages were there, as well as, everyone from the Rapid City Rush.
What was Shop with the Rush?
It was a chance for kids in low-income families to pick out some holiday presents for either themselves, friends or family.
After picking out a few items and checking out, kids were able to enjoy some pizza, wrap presents and talk with players and staff.
Who was there?
There were 17 kids that got the chance to shop with the Rapid City Rush.
For the team, everyone was there. Coaches were there, all the players and even Nugget wandered through the aisles.
Photos of the Rapid City Rush shopping with kids:

Adam Carlson, goalie for the Rapid City Rush, says that they know them all by name.
"We got our name tags, but we can throw them in the garbage and the kids would still know exactly who we are," he said. "It's a very cool feeling. There's nothing better than to give back to kids, especially the kids that want to buy for their brothers and sisters. It just shows how big hearts people still have in this world."
How did they enjoy their time?
"It's been fun walking around here, checking out what they've got in their shopping car. I know some of them came with some lists; they were armed and ready. They knew what they wanted," Valerie Webster, vice president of business development for the Rapid City Rush, said. "One kid, I know he got the last kind of truck in the store that he was looking for. So definitely some really excited kids and I think we just hope that we can make Christmas a little bit brighter for them."
Why is this event important?
"Just being able to give back, one is cool for us, but I mean making an impact in the community. But I think it makes a bigger impact in the homes and be able to shop around with one of the Rush players I think is a pretty cool experience as a kid," Carlson said. "We're not NHLers, but we do get paid to play the game. So, I guess we're kind of cool. But it's a pretty cool experience to be able to give back to the community, at least for us. This is the stuff that we want to do, like this is the really special, feel good stuff. So we really appreciate this and the opportunity and then I'm sure the kids do as well."

Enbridge Line 3 Replacement Completed, Online in October
Eight-year project to replace key Canada-to-US crude oil pipeline completed.
By Blake Wright
The $4-billion US portion of the Line 3 Replacement Program replaced 34-in. pipe with 36-in. pipe.
SOURCE: Enbridge
Enbridge has completed substantially the Line 3 Replacement Project and will bring the new pipeline in service on 1 October, despite years of opposition by environmentalists and others who argued the project would worsen climate change and risk spills in waters vital to regional farm land.
The milestone marks the full replacement of the entire 1,097-mile-long pipeline from Edmonton, Alberta, to Superior, Wisconsin. The new 337-mile Minnesota segment of Line 3, which follows other segments already placed into service in Canada, North Dakota, and Wisconsin, restores the full pipeline capacity of 760,000 B/D to meet the energy needs of refineries in the Midwest. The new line should be filled to capacity sometime in mid-October.
"After more than 8 years of many people working together, extensive community engagement, and thorough environmental, regulatory, and legal review, we are pleased that Line 3 is complete and will soon deliver the low-cost and reliable energy that people depend on every day," said Al Monaco, Enbridge president and chief executive. "Line 3 was developed and executed with the most state-of-the-art approach to design, construction, and environmental management."
In Minnesota, the Line 3 replacement was the most studied pipeline project in state history, with input gathered from 71 public comment regulatory meetings and more than 3,500 community engagement meetings. Scientific review exceeding legal and regulatory requirements resulted in support and project approvals from federal, state, and local agencies, and Native American tribes.
More than 1,500 Indigenous people worked on replacing the line in the US and Canada, according to Enbridge. Specifically, in Minnesota, where Native Americans made up 7% of the Line 3 workforce, over $300 million went directly to Native-owned contractors, tribal community investments, and training and hiring Native individuals.
Line 3 originally entered service in 1968. The replacement program was the largest project in Enbridge history. The $4-billion US portion of the program consisted of replacing existing 34-in. pipe with new 36-in. pipe for 13 miles in North Dakota, 337 miles in Minnesota, and 14 miles in Wisconsin.

John "Mad Jack" Mytton (30 September 1796 –  29 March 1834) was a British eccentric and rake of the Regency period who was briefly a Tory Member of Parliament.

Early life

John Mytton was born on 30 September 1796, the son of John Mytton and Sarah Harriet. His family were Shropshire squires with a lineage that stretched back some 500 years. His father died at the age of 30, when Jack was two years old, and he inherited the family seat of Halston Hall, Whittington, near Oswestry, which was worth £60,000 (£4.3 million as of 2006), as well as an annual income of £10,000 (more than £716,000 as of 2006) from rental and agricultural assets generated by estates of more than  at Dinas Mawddwy and in Shropshire.

Mytton was sent to Westminster School, but was expelled after one year for fighting a master. He was then sent to Harrow School, from which he was also expelled after three terms. He was then educated by a disparate series of private tutors whom he tormented with practical jokes that included leaving a horse in one tutor's bedroom.

Despite having achieved very little academically, Mytton was granted entry to Trinity College, Cambridge. He matriculated in January 1816 but, according to Alumni Cantabrigienses, it is doubtful that he took up his place, although there are claims that he took 2,000 bottles of port to sustain himself during his studies. He certainly was not awarded a degree, having found university life boring, and embarked on a Grand Tour.

Military service
Mytton saw both part-time and full-time military service.  In 1812, when he was 16, he was commissioned as captain in a local yeomanry regiment, the Oswestry Rangers. In 1814 it was merged into the North Shropshire Yeomanry Cavalry, into which Mytton transferred.

After Mytton's return from the Grand Tour, he was commissioned in the regular Army and joined the 7th Hussars. As a cornet, he spent a year with the regiment in France as part of the army of occupation after the defeat of Napoleon I, spending his time gambling and drinking before resigning his commission. He rejoined the North Shropshire Yeomanry after his subsequent return to England and was promoted to major in 1822. He had attempted in vain to lobby its colonel for an even higher rank in the place of an uncle, William Owen, who had left the regiment. Despite his later periods abroad and imprisonment, he was still on the regimental strength at the time of his death twelve years later.

Life as a squire

Mytton later returned to his country seat and took up the duties of a squire in preparation for coming into his full inheritance when he became 21.

In 1819 he entertained ambitions of standing for Parliament, as a Tory, following family tradition. He secured his seat by offering voters £10 notes, spending a total of £10,000 (more than £750,000 as of 2006)). He thus became MP for Shrewsbury. He spent just 30 minutes in the House of Commons in June 1819, but found the debates boring and difficult to follow because of his incipient deafness. When Parliament was dissolved in 1820 he declined to stand at the next election.

However, he attempted to re-enter Parliament in 1831, this time for one of the two Shropshire seats and as a Whig candidate.  He withdrew on the fifth day of the poll and came bottom with 376 votes.  He then issued an address stating that he would contest the next parliamentary election, but by the time of that election, in 1832, he had gone into exile to escape his creditors.

He instead served as High Sheriff of Merionethshire for 1821–22, High Sheriff of Shropshire for 1823–24; Mayor of Oswestry for 1824–25 and as treasurer of the Salop Infirmary at Shrewsbury in 1822.

Meanwhile, he indulged his enjoyment of horseracing and gambling, and enjoyed some success at both. He bought a horse named Euphrates, which was already a consistent winner, and entered it in the Gold Cup at Lichfield in 1825, and it duly won. Its portrait, commissioned by Mytton from the painter William Webb, was exhibited at the Royal Academy the same year. Mytton also became a well-known character at Oswestry Race Course, an increasingly disreputable local racetrack.

It is said that in 1826, in order to win a bet, he rode a horse into the Bedford Hotel opposite the Town Hall in Leamington Spa, up the grand staircase and onto the balcony, from which he jumped, still seated on his horse, over the diners in the restaurant below, and out through the window onto the Parade.

He also held contests for local children at Dinas Mawddwy, giving sums ranging from half a crown to half a guinea to those who rolled all the way down the hill Moel Dinas.

Field sports

Mytton had hunted foxes with his own pack of hounds from the age of ten and went hunting in any kind of weather. His usual winter gear was a light jacket, thin shoes, linen trousers and silk stockings, but in the thrill of the chase he sometimes stripped off and continued the hunt naked, even through snow drifts and rivers in full spate. He also continued hunting despite being unseated and sustaining broken ribs -"unmurmuring when every jar was an agony", and sometimes led his stable boys on rat hunts, each stable boy being equipped with ice skates. He had a wardrobe consisting of 150 pairs of hunting breeches, 700 pairs of handmade hunting boots, 1,000 hats and some 3,000 shirts.

Mytton kept numerous pets, including some 2,000 dogs. His favourites among them were fed on steak and champagne. His favourite horse, Baronet, had free range inside Halston Hall and lay in front of the fire with Mytton.

It was said of "Mad Jack" that "not only did he not mind accidents, he positively liked them". Mytton drove his gig at high speed and once decided to discover if a horse pulling a carriage could jump over a tollgate (it could not). On another occasion he asked his passenger whether he had ever been upset in a gig. The man said he had not and Mytton responded, "What!! What a damn slow fellow you must have been all your life!" He promptly drove the gig up a sloping bank at full speed, tipping himself and his passenger out.

Decline and death

Mytton was an extravagant spendthrift. Visitors to his estates sometimes found banknotes secreted around the grounds, whether left on purpose or simply lost. Over the course of fifteen years he managed to spend his inheritance and then fell into deep debt. His agent had calculated that if he could but reduce his expenditure to £6,000 a year for six years his estate would not have to be sold, but Mytton declared that "I wouldn't give a damn to live on £6,000 a year!" In 1831 he sold his estate at Dinas Mawddwy to John Bird, and fled to Calais to avoid his creditors. He had met an attractive 20-year-old woman named Susan on Westminster Bridge and offered her £500 a year to be his companion. She accompanied him to France and stayed with him until his death.

During his stay in Calais he tried to cure his hiccups by setting his shirt on fire. Charles James Apperley, who wrote under the pseudonym of "Nimrod", was present at this event: "'Damn this hiccup!!' said Mytton as he stood undressed on the floor, apparently in the act of getting into bed 'but I'll frighten it away'; so seizing a lighted candle applied it to the tail of his shirt – it being a cotton one – he was instantly enveloped in flames.  A fellow guest and Mytton's servant beat out the flames: 'The hiccup is gone, by God!', said he and reeled, naked, into bed."

In 1833, Mytton returned to England, where, still unable to pay his debts, he ended up in the King's Bench Prison in Southwark. He died there in 1834, a "round-shouldered, tottering, old-young man bloated by drink, worn out by too much foolishness, too much wretchedness and too much brandy". The cause of death was delirium tremens. He was buried in the vault of the private chapel at Halston on 9 April.

A print of a portrait of John Mytton by Rudolph Ackermann was published in 1847, 13 years after their deaths. These were marked "JOHN MYTTON ESQ. HALSTON SALOP ~ from an original picture in the possession of John Bishton Minor Esq. Astley House Pradoe, guardian of J. F. G. Mytton, this engraving of his ward's late father" When the print was published John jnr would have been 24 years old and would have inherited what was left of the estate. There is also a portrait of Mytton on horseback, by William Webb, and numerous illustrations, by Henry Thomas Alken and T. J. Rawlins, appear in Nimrod's Life of John Mytton.

Personal life
In 1818, he married for the first time to Harriet Emma Jones, a daughter of Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt Jones, in London, but she died in Cliffden, Somerset, on 2 July 1820. His second marriage was to Caroline Mallet Giffard from Chillington Hall in October 1821 at Brewood, Staffordshire. She ran away in 1830 and lived the rest of his life estranged.

Mytton left a number of children. Harriet Emma Charlotte was born on 23 April 1819 to his first wife. His second wife, Caroline, had a daughter and four sons: Barbara Augusta (b. 9 August 1822), John Fox Fitz-Giffard (b. 20 November 1823), Charles Orville January (9 January 1825), Euphrates Henry (b. 10 April 1826) and William Harper (b. 30 April 1827). Euphrates and Charles both died within months after their father and were also buried at Halston, as was Caroline upon her death in 1841. His two other sons and both daughters survived him. Barbara Augusta in 1847 married Colonel Poulett George Henry Somerset, son of Lord Charles Henry Somerset, a younger brother of the 6th Duke of Beaufort.

Legacy
Mytton appears prominently in Dame Edith Sitwell's 1933 book English Eccentrics, which draws largely on the Nimrod account.
The Jack Mytton Way, a long-distance bridleway for riders, mountain bikers and walkers, runs for  through South and Mid-Shropshire
There is a public house named after Mytton in the canalside village of Hindford near Halston Hall
 A hotel, the Mytton and Mermaid Hotel, on the River Severn at Atcham, near Shrewsbury, and has a bar called Mad Jack's Bar. His funeral cortege halted there on its way to the chapel at Halston
 The Jack Mytton Run, an annual event by students, was held on the University of Minnesota campus in Minneapolis, Minnesota across Northrup Mall on the first class day following spring break. It is reported to have begun in 1999. The event was discontinued in 2009 when campus police deterred it
 He is mentioned in the book The French Lieutenant's Woman by John Fowles, beside Casanova
 Jack Wenlock, the lead character in The Case of the 'Hail Mary' Celeste by Malcolm Pryce is revealed as being named after John Mytton.
 There is a race horse named after him
He is the earliest known person to use the phrase "easy come, easy go" in an earlier form as "light come, light go".

Andy Mulumba has a new NFL home.
The former Green Bay Packers outside linebacker signed a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday following a visit with the team, according to his agent Tom Tafelski. That deal included a small signing bonus.
Mulumba, 26, spent his first three seasons with the Packers after first making the 53-man roster as an undrafted free agent in 2013. The 6-foot-3, 265-pound outside linebacker hit the open market earlier this month when the Packers opted against tendering him a contract as a restricted free agent.
Mulumba, a Canadian citizen who resides in Quebec, can return to the United States with a deal now in place. He was forced to leave the country at the end of February when the Packers chose not to re-sign him. Mulumba, who was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, will continue working toward gaining U.S. citizenship now that he has signed with the Chiefs.
The Packers were high on Mulumba as a developmental rusher out of Eastern Michigan. Mulumba saw his most action as a rookie when he had 30 tackles with one sack in 14 games (three starts) in 2013, but missed most of his second NFL season after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in Week 2.
Mulumba returned in time to participate in the offseason program and regained his spot on the active roster on the heels of a strong camp. However, depth at outside linebacker limited his on-field opportunities once the regular season began. In fact, Mulumba was active in only seven of 18 games (including playoffs), finishing with five tackles.
The Packers showed little interest in retaining him this offseason despite keeping him around all season. Now, Mulumba becomes the third former undrafted outside linebacker to make the move from Green Bay to Kansas City, joining Frank Zombo and Dezman Moses.
Mulumba's signing won't count toward the compensatory equation because the Packers forfeited his rights when they non-tendered him.

Center Stage: Russian ballet dazzles with 'Sleeping Beauty'
Marsha Wagner
Direct from Moscow, the Russian National Ballet dazzled the Fort Myers Community Concerts audience last week with its beautiful performance of the full-length version of "Sleeping Beauty." This classical ballet, created by Marius Petipa with music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, ranks at the top of the list along with "Swan Lake," "Giselle" and "The Nutcracker."
Most ballet companies that tour the world rarely do more than excerpts from these full-length ballets, the notable exceptions are The Royal Ballet from England, The Bolshoi from Russia and now the Russian National Ballet. They require a massive number of dancers – the Russian National Ballet had 50 – plus multiple sets and costumes, making the cost of touring almost prohibitive. So, Community Concerts was very fortunate to be able to present this fabulous production.
The Russian National Ballet has been bringing these ballet classics to the United States since 1999, under the artistic directorship of its founder, former Bolshoi ballerina Elena Radchenko. Radchenko's focus is primarily to uphold the grand national tradition of the major ballet's repertoire, develop new talent throughout Russia using the classical ballets to enlighten, inspire and entertain audiences across the continent.
All I can say after viewing the Russian National Ballet's version of "Sleeping Beauty" is: mission accomplished! This crowning jewel from Petipa's choreographic cannon – along with Tchaikovsky's grandiose specially-created ballet score – and the spectacular dancing from the company, made for a perfect evening of classical ballet for the enthusiastic audience at Community Concerts. All that this former New York City Ballet dancer can say is, "Thank you, Mary Lee Mann and Community Concerts."
Oh, before I forget, all of you season ticket-holders for Community Concerts: the replacement concert for the canceled Siberian Symphony on Jan. 27 will be the award-winning Siberian Virtuosi on March 19. Just bring your Jan. 27 tickets and they will be honored at the March 19 concert. See ya'll there!

Two Maasai Warriors Came To My Rescue At An African Safari Camp
Julie Zeveloff
Maasai warriors (but not the ones who came to my aid)

With nightly rates upwards of $1,500 and out-of-this-world accommodations, luxury safaris are some of the best vacations out there.But that doesn't mean that everything about them is luxurious.
During a recent press trip to Tanzania where I spent six nights in four different safari lodges — all of them lovely, unique, and with first-rate service — I quickly learned that safaris are not for everyone. Especially for people who like the convenience of a hotel.
In a hotel, reaching the front desk is as simple as picking up the telephone. In the bush, it's a little more elaborate.
The following story is slightly embarrassing, but it illustrates what I mean.
After returning from an evening game drive, I returned to my room — really a private lodge a dozen yards from my next-door neighbour —and realised that the bag containing my passport, wallet, and mobile phone was missing. Since we were at a tiny camp more than a hundred miles from any other people, I hadn't bothered to lock it in the safe (lesson learned!)
There was no phone to call the front desk — or a front desk at all, for that matter. It was after dark, and like all of the safari camps I'd stayed at, I couldn't leave my room without a security escort.
It was an hour and a half before I would be picked up for dinner. I was completely alone, and I totally panicked.
Bug spray, check. Hair dryer, check. Air horn, check.

Not knowing what else to do, I picked up the air horn I was told to use in case of an emergency — presumably, some sort of animal encounter — and blew it.
Within a minute, two Maasai warriors with spears tucked into their traditional red robes were sprinting to my door. I later learned that many safari camps and even businesses in cities like Dar es Salaam hire them as security guards.
Since there were no phones, one of the guards left to find a manager, while the other stood silently and watched as I paced the room and fought back tears. Thankfully, he didn't laugh too hard when a bat flew into the room and I shrieked.
Eventually, the first guard returned with the manager, who promised to sort the matter out and left to talk to the head housekeeper. In the meantime, I found my passport bag in a cabinet — the housekeeper must have put it there for safekeeping, and it was the one place I hadn't bothered to check.
But since I couldn't get in touch with the manager after he left, I had to wait 15 minutes for him to return to my room so I could let him know I'd worried him for nothing. He had a good sense of humour about it, but I was pretty mortified.
For what it's worth, it was the low point of an incredible adventure, and something I was able to laugh about by the time I got to dinner.
It was also a good reminder that many of the best safari camps are truly remote and off the grid. And that's what travellers love about them.
But if you like being able to reach the hotel switchboard on speed dial at any hour, you may want to stick with a Caribbean cruise.

Wonder Woman is quickly overwhelmed after she travels to another dimension to battle the sorceress Circe. But after Wonder Woman thinks back to when she first left her homeland, she remembers that courage is key in tough situations.

Last month, Zomato go of under 10% of our global team as part of a restructuring and a shift in focus to what works from a business standpoint.
MUMBAI: "I love this guy, India's chief startup hater!" tweeted Deepinder Goyal founder & CEO of Zomato a few weeks bacl in response to a similar sarcastic tweet from Mahesh Murthy founder CEO of Seedfund. Murthy had tweeted, " Zomato saying they are profitable in some regions but not the head office or overall, Flipkart will announce next that they are profitable in Lakshadweep".
Amidst growing concerns about funds drying up for foodtech companies,Zomato had recently announced that it has reached operational profitability in six markets, including India. Zomato has been on an overdrive for the past 6-10 months, aggressively cutting down spends and fine-tuning the business model with an eye on profits.
But Mahesh Murthy is unconvinced that there is any business margin in foodtech. "Money is in food, not foodtech" he says. I don't distrust startups. I have invested of them so Mr Goyal is entitled to his views. My issue is with the business model. The biggest margin is in the making of foods, converting raw material to edible stuff. The delivery model here is just not feasible. Once the company offers discounts to woo customers and the restaurant cuts their percentage further, the margin left is miniscule. And it gets worse when you get scale up. Zomato is an advertising business so where is the money here?
Foodtech companies are now getting edgy as investors run out of patience to tighten funding for now. Deepinder Goyal, founder and CEO of restaurant search portal Zomato in a candid blog post called 2015, "truly our year of learning." It had to cut 10% of its workforce with other startups such as Dazo and Spoonjoy reportedly shutting operations. Foodpanda and Tinyowl are also reportedly tackling troubled times. In April 2015, the amount of funding was a whopping USD 74 million on a total of seven deals while in August, this dipped to USD 19 million with a total five deals, in September this number further dropped to a total of two deals, ccording to startup specialist Yourstory research estimates.
In food-tech, technology is as much about creating efficiencies in the supply chain as it is about making ordering and order management easy for consumers. It's predominantly food business and as a product, food is one of the basic necessities so there's no dearth of demand. It's about fulfilment and how well or innovatively one company can do it.
According to Saurabh Saxena founder and CEO of Holachef which boasts of investors such as Ratan Tata, the differentiation amongst these companies would be the ownership of the supply chain. "The next five years will see consolidation and lots of robust new players entering the market. Ordering in phenomena will increase and going out phenomena will stay as it is / there won't be any increase. Hence, the focus of all the new players will also be on making available ordering-in services to the customers.
Murthy also criticises what he calls momentum investors fuelling a me-too syndrome. "You invest in a company to own it forever. Most of them are doing something because others are doing so. Zomato announce dits profitable in 7 of its associate companies, there is no transparency in that.."
Harshvardhan founder of Tinyowl has been off the grid lately and was unreachable. Sasha Mirchandani ?Founder & Managing Director at Kae Capital - ?Kae Capital an early seed stage fund said investors have tightened belts and expects a lot of consolidation in the foodtech space in the next six months. "If any company truly stands a chance in this space, its Zomato. They have an outstanding team and yes, they could have certainly done better. But I think they are approaching the market in a mature way, cutting costs and keeping an eye on revenue and profits. It is not an easy task and for too many of the players, monetisation is not easy" he said.
Zomato got its eight ound of funding of $60 million in September 2015, led by Temasek, with participation from existing investor Vy Capital total funding ~USD 225 million with nine acquisitions in 2014 and 2015.
Saxena says all noteworthy food tech companies in India put together must be currently doing less than 60-65k orders a day, including the restaurant aggregation companies and full stack companies like Holachef. "It simply means that the space is wide open for companies to make a mark.As a food company, what you are serving is absolutely the most important aspect. Technology is an enabler. Hospitality industry on the whole is about quality of food and service. Customer isn't bothered about the technology being used in the backend. All the technology, processes and systems need to come together to give a robust quality of food and service for the customers to open their wallets" he says.
"Entrepreneurs have started tackling this space from different perspectives. It will take some hits and some misses, some assumptions, a lot of innovation and even more technology to organize this large space and bring in unprecedented level of efficiencies in the entire food-space" says Saxena.
"we have grown significantly as an organisation and have crossed major milestones together. In terms of online ordering, over the last 3 months we are at 300,000+ orders a month and growing at a healthy 30-40% month on month." said Pramod Rao VP marketing .
Zomato recently rolled out Zomato Book – a table reservations and management system – across markets, to enable restaurants to easily manage their tables and accept reservations through Zomato and other online channels.

The first form creates a buffered character stream using a default buffer size. In the second, the size of the buffer is passed in bufSize. As is the case with the byte-oriented stream, buffering an input character stream also provides the foundation required to support moving backward in the stream within the available buffer. To support this, BufferedReader implements the mark() and reset() methods, and BufferedReader.markSupported( ) returns true.
The following example reworks the BufferedInputStream example, shown earlier, so that it uses a BufferedReader character stream rather than a buffered byte stream. As before, it uses mark( ) and reset( ) methods to parse a stream for the HTML entity reference for the copyright symbol. Such a reference begins with an ampersand (&) and ends with a semicolon (;) without any intervening whitespace. The sample input has two ampersands, to show the case where the reset( ) happens and where it does not. Output is the same as that shown earlier.
9. How to read an array using BufferedReader?
10. I want more example of bufferedReader.

I'm always impressed by my mother's capability to befriend anyone she meets, and the friendliness of full strangers to simply accept that and let us into their world. While talking with them, we mentioned politics and music and life, and I felt immersed in on a regular basis life, rather than the same old 'outdoors-wanting-in' feeling of a tourist. There were some language boundaries to communication for me, which encourages me to further enhance my Chinese language! Also, it burdened the significance of observe and sustaining a minimum of one showpiece" for an instrument… I did not have a complete song memorized to show for my yr of erhu lessons.

From the ferry into Nelson, BC. Nice town, obviously targeted toward attracting tourists (not a bad factor). I ended at a mall (anchor store was WalMart. Actually?) to find an ATM so I may get some Canadian cash and take part fully. One other nice lady in the car parking zone directed me to an ATM; memorable because once I thanked her she mentioned Of course! It's vital that you've money while you're visiting Nelson!". She was so not kidding. Of the $60 CDN I took out, I believe I spent $5. Oh nicely.

Welcome to Summer Intern Ryan Welle
By Lindsay Hiltunen
Ryan Welle, our Friends of the Michigan Tech Library Intern for summer 2016, is already at home in the stacks. Ryan will be working with us on various projects and research support services until mid-August.
On behalf of the Michigan Technological University Archives and Copper Country Historical Collections, in partnership with the Friends of the Michigan Tech Library, we hope you will help us welcome our new intern for summer 2016. Ryan Welle was selected as the Friends of the Michigan Tech Library Intern after a competitive national call for applicants. While in Houghton, Ryan will be assisting with research support services and behind-the-scenes tours in the Michigan Tech Archives, particularly during the busy summer season. He will also be responsible for arrangement and description of a recent manuscript acquisition to the Michigan Tech Archives. We are very excited to have Ryan on board. Below, please take a moment to get to know Ryan as he introduces himself in his own words.
My name is Ryan Welle, and I am very grateful to have been selected as the Friends of the Michigan Tech Library Intern for the summer of 2016. A little about myself, coming from Minnesota I have always felt a connection to the Great Lakes region. I decided to pursue a life-long passion for history by graduating with a BA in History and Philosophy from Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall, MN. While deciding what I wanted to do with that degree, I spent some time serving with AmeriCorps tutoring children in early literacy skills. I found that I also had a passion for helping others, and a close friend of mine suggested that I look into working for historical societies or museums. I decided to take them up on the offer and enrolled in the School of Library and Information Studies at the University of Wisconsin – Madison, where I recently graduated with a focus in archives and records management.
I am hoping that my time at Michigan Tech will allow me the opportunity to learn more of the history related to the Great Lakes, specifically the mining industry that established the Keweenaw Peninsula. I am also excited to gain valuable experience working in an archive while I am here. When I am not working, I can often be found on a hiking trail, on the lake, or touring historic landmarks. The landscape and natural beauty of the area is wonderful for all these activities and I hope to enjoy all that I can this summer. Feel free to stop by to say hello, and also use any of the wonderful collections that are housed at the Michigan Tech Archives.
For more information on the Friends of the Michigan Tech Library Internship Program or to set up a time to say hello to our new intern, please call Lindsay Hiltunen at (906) 487-2505 or e-mail us at copper@mtu.edu. The Michigan Tech Archives can also be found on Twitter: @mtuarchives.

Jose "Shorty" Torres has been a Brave fighter for less than a week but is already on his first mission for his new home. He will be in attendance during Brave 21, set for December 28th, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The Flyweight and Bantamweight contender will also travel to coach his teammate Rami Hamed but says he's excited to attend his first event officially as a Brave fighter.
Torres has been a color commentator in different occasions for the promotion, including back in September of 2016, for Brave 1, but admits Brave 21 will be a different experience for him.
"It definitely isn't my first Brave event but it is my first event as a signed Brave fighter. And it is awesome to be taken care of even before being signed with the company, so imagine the amount of respect now. Attending a new event in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a new country for Brave, I'm sure it's gonna be an amazing experience", says Jose.
The American star is keen to enjoy good fights while in Saudi Arabia and has highlighted the main and co-main events as the bouts he's most looking forward to. He's a former teammate of Marat Magomedov, who takes on Jeremy Kennedy, and has also trained with Gadzhimusa Gaziev, who meets Jose's friend, Rami Hamed.
"I'm excited to be there and coach my fighter but also to check out some amazing fights. I have a couple of teammates and former teammates on the card that I'm definitely looking forward to seeing in action. Marat trained with me at KHK MMA, he is an amazing fighter. I really want to reunite with him, to see him and witness how much he improved since we last trained together. And, of course, Rami Hamed, he's grown so fast and I'll be honored to coach him. Funny thing is that he'll be fighting another former teammate, Gadzhimusa Gaziev, who's also an amazing athlete. I'm sure this fight is gonna be a war and I can't wait to see them putting on a show for the fans in Saudi".
Brave 21 marks the first time the fastest-growing promotion in the world will land in Saudi Arabia. The groundbreaking event will crown an unforgettable year for Brave as the organization traveled to 12 different countries in 12 shows throughout 2018.

Herbal folk remedies of Dhenkanal district, Odisha, India
Author(s): Nibedita Mohanty, Taranisen Panda, Shantilata Sahoo, Siba Prasad Rath
Abstract: An ethnobotanical investigation was carried out to collect, identify and document information on the medicinal plants traditionally used by local inhabitants of Dhenkanal district, Odisha, India. Data were collected from 140 informants of various ages in different villages of the district by using structured questionnaires, complemented by free interviews and informal conversations. Samples of plants that were reported to have medicinal value were collected and identified by botanical classification. One hundred and nine plant species belonging to 53 families were recorded in the interviews and enquiries.The most cited medicininal plant families were Fabaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Caesalpiniaceae, Mimosaceae, Asclepiadaceae and Rutaceae. Out of 109 plant species, 34 plant species were used for gastro intestinal ailments (constipation, diarrheas, dysentery, gastric & stomach-ache), 30 for fever, bronchitis, asthma, cough & cold, 20 for anti-inflammatory & skin diseases, 13 for rheumatism, 10 for diabetic, 11 for cardiovascular ailments and 7 plant species for diuretics. The plant parts that were more commonly utilized for the preparation of ethno medicines were the leaves (28.7%), roots (17.4%), bark (13.5%), seeds (10.1%) and fruit (7.3%). The present study contributed to the construction of an inventory of Dhenkanal district ethno medicinal plants, which might be the basis for future scientific validation studies.

^^ coming in as jpg as opposed to a gif, which is what you intended probably.
I was checking if IMGUR would change my old fall mp4 to gif but doesn't seem to work.
Pretty cool! What's that open area behind the tree supposed to be?
Part of it is actually a pond .
The tree again after the snow has substantially melted. No woodpecker to be seen now though.

by Robert Henri
Robert Henri was born Robert Henry Cozad in Cincinnati, Ohio. When Henri was ten years old, his father, a gambler and real estate promoter, shot someone in self defense. The family feared for their safety, moved to Atlantic City, New Jersey, changed their name and passed their two sons off as adopted children. Robert Henri chose a variation on his middle name as his surname and attended boarding school in New York City. He received his art training at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and then attended the Academy Julian in Paris. After spending several years in Europe, Henri taught at the Chase School of Art and the New York School of Art where he led a fight against Academic views. In 1909, Henri established his own school and organized "The Eight," a group of artists that rejected the restraints from the National Academy of Design. The Eight favored a style that portrayed contemporary everyday life. Five members of this group, including Henri, became known as the Ashcan School because of their depictions of the seedy side of life. Henri favored portraits of ordinary people, while the remainder of the group focused primarily on everyday street scenes.
In the winter of 1917-1918, Henri began studying the complicated principles of Dynamic Symmetry which were being advocated by Jay Hambidge who thought he had discovered the arrangement of organic structure, "the inner law by which things grow in proportion." For Henri, this discovery was a challenging exercise, which resulted in very view portraits. One of these forays into Dynamic Symmetry resulted in Henri's portrait of Helen who background is influenced by this theory.
