Verbs are used to describe actions, activities, or events. They are the central component of a sentence in Mi'gmaq and are made up of many different pieces of information. They contain enough information that they can represent a complete sentence, and are often the only element in a sentence. Some examples of English verbs include: am, seeing, happen, and gave. Some examples of Mi'gmaq verbs are eig 's/he is there, exists', amalgan 'you dance', and nemitu 'I see it'. Note that English verbs cannot form a sentence by themselves, while Mi'gmaq verbs can.
There are several characteristics that are found in both nouns and verbs, including Animacy, Obviation and Person and number marking, which are discussed in their respective articles. In general, a Mi'gmaq verb may contain the following elements, of which the ones in parentheses are optional.

[edit] Basic Verbs
[edit] (Preverbs)
For more detail, see Preverbs
A preverb is an element found at the left edge of a verb in Mi'gmaq that modifies the meaning of the root and any other preverbs to the right of it. Some of the meanings that are expressed in Mi'gmaq using preverbs are expressed in other languages such as English as adverbs (e.g. jaqal- "quickly, energetically"), prepositions (e.g. toqjuw- "up"), modal verbs (e.g. getu- "want (to)"), prefixes (e.g. minu- "re-"), other verbs (e.g. poqju- "begin (to)"), and other expressions (e.g. etl- "in the process of, be __ing"), although not all elements that belong to one of these categories in English are expressed as preverbs in Mi'gmaq, such as igtug "at, near (location)," which is found after nouns, not before verbs. Some examples of preverbs are found below.
poqju-wissugwatma-p
begin-cook.3sg.anim.3sg.inan-past
's/he is beginning to cook it '
newti-wissugwatma-p
one-cook.3sg.anim.3sg.inan-past
's/he cooks it alone (slot 2)'
getu-  poqju-  mamuni-     espi-   inn-ui-      sit
want-  start-  high,very-  level-  people-lang  -3sg
's/he wants to start to speak the people's language (Mi'gmaq) at a very high level'
(sample context: said of an enthusiastic student of Mi'gmaq)
[edit] Stems
For more detail, see Verb stems
Verbs in Mi'gmaq can describe events, comparable to verbs such as in English, and the qualities of nouns, comparable to adjectives in English. Verbs that describe events include nem- 'see' and gelus- 'speak' and verbs that describe nouns include maqtaw- 'black' and ewe'g'- 'loose'.
But verb roots cannot stand on their own. They minimally need to show information about the subject, and if relevant, the object.
[edit] Verb Class
Transitivity refers to how many people, things, or groups need to be involved in the action of the verb. If the verb only has a subject, we call it intransitive, and if it has both a subject and an object, we call it transitive.
Transitivity interacts with Animacy to form a 4 way classification of verbs: intransitive verbs with an animate subject [VAI], intransitive verbs with an inanimate subject [VII], transitive verbs with an animate subject and object [VTA], and transitive verbs with an animate subject and an inanimate object [VTI], each of which has their own page.
Algonquian verb classes
Intransitive
Transitive
VAI VTA
Inanimate
VII VTI
[edit] (Negation)
For more detail, see Negation
Affirmative sentences can be can be negated with the addition of a negative particle directly before the verb, usually mu. Verbs that are followed by this negative particle must have negative marking, -w or -u. We can see this contrast in the table below, where mu teluis-ig 'her/his name is...' is negated with the addition of the negative particle "mu" and the "-w" negative marker. In addition, the we can see the negated form of mu is ma when negating a sentence the future tense.
teluis- 'to be named' Indicative mode
teluis- 'name'
negated form
teluis-it 'her/his name is...' mu teluis-iwg 'her/his name isn't...'
tluis-itew 'her/his name will be...' ma tluis-iwg 'her/his name will not be...'
[edit] Person & number
This section is a description of how person and number are marked on verbs. For a description of what these categories are and how they function in general in Mi'gmaq, see Person and number
Person and number marking on the verb indicates characteristics of its subject and its object, if it has one. These markings change their appearance depending on what the final is.
[edit] (Tense)
For more detail, see Tense
A sentence can refer to a time period which is the same or different from the time when it was spoken. This is called tense and this is often marked on verbs as an ending (suffix). In Mi'gmaq, verbs can be expressed in present, past, and future. Aspect marking is similar to tense, i.e. imperfective, but is usually done with preverbs; for more detail see Aspect. Generally, present is the default and not marked. Past is often marked with -p, as shown in below, but this is not always the case. This -p(n) is also argued to mark evidentiality as well [come in Jenny!]. Future tense is often marked with a vowel reduction in the verb stem, as shown below.
teluis-it 'her/his name is...'
teluis-iss/-i(s)p 'her/his name was...'
tluis-itew 'her/his name will be...'
[edit] (Third Plural Marker)
[edit] (Obviative)
This section describes how the obviative is marked on the verb. For more detail on what the obviative is in general, see Obviation.
[edit] Mood
Also known as Mode. For more detail, see Mood
'Mode describes the speaker's attitude toward a situation, including the speaker's belief in its reality, or likelihood.' (Payne, 1997; 244) In each class, there are a variety of different mode's which can be expressed. Most can be expressed in different tenses and in the affirmative or the negative. Below is a table, based on Pacifique's grammar (as translated in Lesson 10 in Hewson & Francis (1990), although ), that summarizes these observations using the first conjugation of VAI (intransitive verb with animate subject) with third person subject agreement.
teluis-in 'you name'

ABC Legal Analyst: 'Prosecutors Threw the Book at Alec Baldwin, Everything They Possibly Could'
David Hawkins January 20, 2023 - 11:55 am January 20, 2023 - 12:56 pm 8 Comments
ABC News chief legal analyst Dan Abrams has said that "prosecutors threw the book" at Hollywood star Alec Baldwin by criminally charging him with two counts of involuntary manslaughter.
The charges may see the actor sent to prison for five years if convicted.
Abrams said: "The prosecutors just threw the book at Alec Baldwin and Hannah Gutierrez Reed, they threw everything they possibly could at both of them.
"In particular, when you talk about these involuntary manslaughter charges, typically in the state of New Mexico, the maximum punishment for involuntary manslaughter is up to 18 months.
"Well, they have added an enhancement on one of the charges, a firearm enhancement, which adds a potential mandatory penalty because a firearm was involved.
"The firearm enhancement makes the crime punishable by a mandatory five years.
"Prosecutors have gone all out in determining that Alec Baldwin and Hannah Gutierrez Reed are criminally responsible.
"I'll give you one more quote from them.
"They say 'The evidence shows a pattern of disregard for safety on the Rust film set. In New Mexico, there's no room for sets that don't take our gun safety and public safety seriously.'
"Let me add one other point here, which is the next step in this proceeding will be a preliminary hearing, which will be a kind of mini-trial where a judge will determine, is there enough evidence to go to trial," he said.
https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/twpEPLic.mp4
"We still don't know all the evidence that the prosecution has," said Miguel Custodio, Los Angeles attorney and founder of Dubey LLP. "We're still operating on limited information."
"They were smart in these two charges, because if the jury is a little unconvinced on the serious one, then the lesser one is an option," Custodio added.
"A potential sentence should not be a factor, but we know that jurors will do their own research.
"This is one of those where it's everywhere in the media — I definitely think that there is going to be that star factor."
"That's a stretch," said Neama Rahmani, a trial lawyer, former federal prosecutor said of the "enhancement" that could see Alec locked up for five years.
"It's the most aggressive approach they could have taken with this case."

Q: How to combine outputs from different non-machine learning prediction models? I have a list of cancer mutations and I have run five different bioinformatics tools that predict whether a particular mutation will lead to a more aggressive form of cancer or not (0-neutral;1-aggressive). I also have a ground truth set of labels that can be used to judge the performance of the individual tools. So basically I have five lists of 1s and 0s and I want to learn the optimal weights to combine them in order to get the best ensemble model and compare that with the ground truth. Is there any way to accomplish this task in python?
P.S: I have read about stacking classifiers from python but I can't use them here because I am not using traditional classifiers to perform the classification task.

A: Another approach is create an ensemble learner where you essentially average or use a weighted-average approach to combine the individual predictions. If you have N models (n=5 in your case), then a quick weighted average (or unweighted if $w_i=1$) like the below can be used to average predictions.
$\text{Ensemble} = \frac{1}{n}\Sigma^n_{i} \hspace{1 mm}w_i(\text{model}_i)$
If the predictions are probabilities, then they're on the same scale, and the intepretations essentially do not change (80% is still 80%). If the predictions are hard decision (yes, no), then you can have a median rule or a majority-vote rule (like Random forests use), to decide your final decision.
I actually did something similar to you in the paper below, where my task was predicting differential gene expression. I had 5 or 6 techniques, and the proposed solution was to create an "ensemble learner" of differential expressed gene predictions. This wasn't combining ML models, but it was combining GLMs, which essentially are just another classifier (like an ML) with a prediction, so the framework can help provide guidance.

Hope this helps.

A: where the variables came from does not really matter, so you treat them as any other predictors and fit a model using all these variables that is predicting your outcome, for example, (regularized) logistic regression.

Do online participation processes result in measurable changes in the political attitudes of those citizens who took part?
Do the political attitudes of participants differ from the ones held by those who did not participate?
Which factors influence the effects of online participation on a local level?
To investigate these questions this project required a unique comparative research effort in which three almost identical instances of online consultations were implemented in three different German municipalities and subsequently systematically evaluated. Specifically, in 2017 the three map-based online consultations were conducted in close collaboration with the city councils of the three municipalities of Bonn, Moers and Ehrenfeld (district of Cologne). In each of these cities the local councils invited their citizens to make proposals on how to improve the situation for cyclists. Over the course of five weeks, citizens made about 3.200 suggestions along with 2.200 comments. These citizen contributions are currently being discussed by the respective political planning committees in order to determine specific measures to be implemented over the next years.
The research project aims to assess how these participatory processes may or may not have impacted on the legitimacy beliefs of the public. Specifically, three different levels of legitimacy beliefs are analyzed: i) the citizens' assessment of the particular local policy discussed in the online consultation, ii) their attitude towards the stakeholders responsible for it as well as iii) their overall satisfaction with the way democracy works in their city and their country.
In contrast to previous evaluations, this research can compare three basically identical instances of political participation online in comparable contexts instead of single case studies or comparisons of different processes. What is more, instead of just focusing on those who actually take part in such online processes, this research can due to the representative surveys compare active participants with those who have not taken part or did not even know about the processes. Finally, due to the panel design of these surveys it is possible to track the development of public legitimacy beliefs over time, e.g. before and after the participation process.
This pilot study is being funded by the Strategic Research Fund of Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf for a duration of two years (October 2016 – September 2018) and is supposed to form the foundation for a more extensive follow-on research project.


Although I'll be the first person to admit that I love nothing more than curling up with a book of poetry, there is something very special about hearing the words on a page come alive through a writer's voice. The way in which poets play with language becomes evident upon listening to the manner in which they read their work. The speed and volume at which poets read allows us to better understand the tone of a piece. Punctuation and rhythm come alive.
Keeping with poetry's oral traditions, here are a few videos and recordings of poets reading their work.


This is a case report and literature review. The objectives of the study are to describe minimally invasive treatment of pedicle fractures, to show contralateral pedicle changes with pedicle fracture treatment, and to review literature on incidence and mechanism of neural arch fractures. After conservative therapy, there are several options for the treatment of pedicle fractures including pediculoplasty, osteosynthesis, or fusion. As patients' age increases, the incidence of pedicle fracture may rise and minimally invasive pedicle screw treatment represents a good motion-preserving option to stabilize without fusion. We report a patient with spontaneous pedicle fractures above a degenerative spondylolisthesis and evidence of contralateral pedicle changes at L2 and L3. After minimally invasive pedicle screw placement, postoperative imaging demonstrated trabeculation across both L2 and L3 fractures with a resolution of contralateral pedicle sclerotic changes and healing of incompletely fracture contralateral pedicle at L2. Pedicle fractures lead to contralateral pedicle sclerotic changes and potential fracture and may cause significant back pain. Stabilization and healing of the neural arch can be achieved with minimally invasive placement of pedicle screws without need for fusion.
Pedicle fractures have been noted to occur in several different populations of patients including young athletes, sedentary office workers, a 12-year-old patient, middle-age females, and an elderly patient during a massage. Pedicle fracture has also been noted in postoperative laminectomy and lumbar fusion., Often times, a unilateral pedicle fracture is associated with spondylolysis on the contralateral side, or even rarer bilateral spondylolysis., This report identifies a two-level pedicle fracture above a degenerative spondylolisthesis which underwent successful treatment.
A 79-year-old female presented as an outpatient with a 10-year history of severe neurogenic claudication and severe back pain. She also complained of difficulty with walking up stairs. Motor strength in the lower extremities was 4+/5 proximally and distally with no sensory changes and preserved reflexes. Physical therapy, epidural steroids, and oral medications were attempted initially. Computed tomography (CT) workup of the patient revealed L3–4 Grade 1 and L4–5 Grade 1 spondylolisthesis, unilateral complete pedicle fractures at L2 and L3 on the left, and incomplete pedicle fracture of L2 on the right and slight rotatory scoliosis [Figure 1] and [Figure 2]. At the L3 level, there was visible sclerosis on the right pedicle [Figure 2]. Flexion extension views of the lumbar spine revealed no dynamic instability. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings revealed spinal stenosis at L4–5 with severe bilateral neuroforaminal stenosis.
The patient underwent L4–5 minimally invasive decompression and fusion. The indication for surgery was bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy with foraminal and central canal stenosis as well as low back pain.
After the surgery, the patient continued to have a significant back pain. It was felt that the unilateral pedicle fractures needed to be braced due to the L4–5 fusion causing additional stress at the adjacent levels with pedicle fractures.
L2 and L3 unilateral pedicle screws were placed using biplanar fluoroscopy. The L2 and L3 left pedicles were cannulated with Jamshidi needles and K-wires. The K-wire tracks were not tapped or drilled, and a Medtronic 5.5 mm × 50 mm screw was inserted at L2 and L3.
The patient had a subjective relief of back pain and claudication following the two surgeries at her 3 months follow-up visit.
At 3 months postoperatively, CT showed bony trabeculation across the bilateral L2 fractures and left L3 fractures [Figure 3]. Nine-month postoperative CT revealed complete fusion of all pedicle fractures with clear cortical borders visible with resolution of sclerosis in the right L3 pedicle [Figure 4] and [Figure 5]. Four years after initial screw placement, MRI shows no evidence of marrow changes or edema within the pedicles.
Treatment of pedicle fractures ranges from instrumented fusion, pediculoplasty, lumbar osteosynthesis, and percutaneous compression screws. In this report, the continued back pain led to treatment of the L2 and 3 fractures. The fractures were compressed by slightly sinking the polyaxial heads into the pedicles while being careful not to further the pedicle fracture. Johnson and Wang noted overtapping the dorsal elements to attempt lag compression across the fracture. We decided to insert the screw without taping to provide as much rigid fixation of the pedicle as possible within the body as well as the dorsal pedicle.
Postoperatively, there was trabeculation across the fractures, including fusion of the incompletely fractured right L2 pedicle. The stabilization of the fractures by a pedicle screw led to a favorable stable environment for bony healing, without the morbidity of an additional fusion. The pedicle screw at L2 and L3 allowed healing of the right L2 pedicle and resolution of sclerosis in the right L3 pedicle. Four years postoperatively, MRI demonstrates no marrow changes within the pedicles or arch of L2 or L3.
These findings lead to the conclusion that fixation of one side of the neural arch has a direct relationship to the stability of the entire arch. Treatment with a percutaneous screw is a safe and effective way to brace a pedicle fracture, stabilize the neural arch, and promote bony healing. Further randomized study will be needed to evaluate the superiority of this procedure over other treatment options.

Florian Janistyn (born 22 April 1988) is an Austrian swimmer, who specializes in long-distance freestyle events. He is a two-time Austrian national record holder in both 800 and 1500 m freestyle, and also, a current member of SG Wiener Neustadt, under his personal coach Erich Neulinger.

Janistyn made his first Austrian team at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, swimming in both long-distance freestyle and freestyle relay team events. He swam on the second leg of the men's 4 × 200 m freestyle relay, posting a split time of 1:50.48. Janistyn and his teammates Dominik Koll, Markus Rogan, and David Brandl finished heat two in fifth place and ninth overall, with a total time of 7:11.45. Three days later, Janistyn won the first heat of his only individual event, the 1500 m freestyle, by sixteen seconds ahead of Bulgarian swimmer and three-time Olympian Petar Stoychev, with a new Austrian record time of 15:12.46. Janistyn, however, failed to advance into the final, as he placed twenty-first out of 37 swimmers in the evening's preliminaries.

Four years after competing in his first Olympics, Janistyn only qualified for the men's 4 × 200 m freestyle relay at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Swimming the anchor leg, Janistyn recorded a split time of 1:51.37, and the Austrian team (composed of Rogan, Brandl, and Christian Scherübl) went on to finish in eighth place and sixteenth overall, for a total time of 7:17.94.

Australia's Carbon Tax: A Sheep in Wolf's Clothing?

Lo, Alex
The Australian Government has produced a CO2-equivalent tax proposal with a difference: it is a short prelude to an emission trading scheme that will allow the increasing rate of emissions to continue, while being a net cost to the Treasury. That cost extends to allowing major emitters to make guaranteed windfall profits from pollution permits. The emission trading scheme suffers numerous problems, but the issues raised in this article show that taxes can also be watered down and made ineffectual through concessions.

Taxpayers will get no assets from the billions of dollars to be spent buying-off the coal generators or other polluters. The scheme seeks to stimulate private investors to create an additional 12 per cent in renewable electricity generation by 2020. A really serious emissions reducing alternative would need to create a nationalised electricity sector with 100 per cent renewable energy within a decade. We explore the limitations of Australia's carbon tax plan which has now passed into law.
