Eventually

Eventually is the second solo album that Paul Westerberg released after the breakup of The Replacements.

The album started out in Atlanta with producer Brendan O'Brien. Although those sessions produced good results—the leadoff single, "Love Untold", among them—Westerberg and O'Brien parted ways. O'Brien was pressed for time, and Westerberg needed more time to write enough songs to fill out a full album. Westerberg regrouped with Lou Giordano.

The song "Good Day" was written for late Replacements guitarist Bob Stinson. It references "Hold My Life", a track from the album Tim.

Eventually (mathematics)

In the mathematical areas of number theory and analysis, an infinite sequence (a_n) is said to eventually have a certain property if the sequence always has that property after a finite number of terms. This can be extended to the class of properties P that apply to elements of any ordered set (sequences and subsets of R are ordered, for example).

Motivation and definition

Often, when looking at infinite sequences, it doesn't matter too much what behaviour the sequence exhibits early on. What matters is what the sequence does in the long term. The idea of having a property "eventually" rigorizes this viewpoint.

For example, the definition of a sequence of real numbers (a_n) converging to some limit a is: for all ε > 0 there exists N > 0 such that, for all n > N, |a_n − a| < ε. The phrase eventually is used as shorthand for the fact that "there exists N > 0 such that, for all n > N..." So the convergence definition can be restated as: for all ε > 0, eventually |a_n − a| < ε. In this setting it is also synonymous with the expression "for all but a finite number of terms" – not to be confused with "for almost all terms" which generally allows for infinitely many exceptions.

Nat Wolff

Nathaniel Marvin "Nat" Wolff (born December 17, 1994) is an American actor and musician. Wolff gained recognition for starring in and composing the music for the Nickelodeon musical comedy series The Naked Brothers Band (2007–09) which was created and produced by his actress mother Polly Draper. Wolff's jazz pianist father, Michael Wolff, co-produced the series' two soundtrack albums, the self-titled album The Naked Brothers Band (2007) which ranked #23 on Billboard 200, and the follow-up I Don't Want to Go to School (2008).

Wolff and his younger brother Alex Wolff also formed the music duo Nat & Alex Wolff, and released the album Black Sheep in 2011. Wolff had a supporting role in the theatrical film The Fault in Our Stars (2014). In 2015, he played the lead role in the comedy-drama Paper Towns.

Personal life

Wolff was born in Los Angeles, California, to jazz pianist Michael Wolff and actress Polly Draper. He is the older brother of actor/musician and singer-songwriter Alex Wolff. His maternal grandfather is venture capitalist and civic leader William Henry Draper III, and he is also the nephew of venture capitalist Tim Draper, cousin of actress Jesse Draper, and the great-grandson of banker and diplomat William Henry Draper, Jr. His father is Jewish, while his mother is of Christian background; Wolff was brought up "culturally Jewish."

Kayla

Kayla is one of the names of the Beta Israel community among their neighbours, after which the Kayla language is named.Yona Bogale claimed that the name stems from the Tigrinya word for artisans, and on the broader sense excommunicated people (as Yeshaq I of Ethiopia has denied the right of inheritance of all non-Christians). Speakers of Agaw languages, such as Qemant citizens, told researchers that Kayla means "one who has not crossed the stream" or "he or they that have not crossed". This refers to the observance of Shabbat rules among Ethiopian Jews, necessitating the avoidance of activities prohibited on Shabbat.

Kayla dialect

Kayla, or Kayliñña (Ge'ez: ካይላ kāylā, for the people, Ge'ez: ካይልኛ kāylññā, Kayla, Amharic, and Tigrinya for the Kayla language) is one of two Agaw dialects formerly spoken by a subgroup of the Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jews). It is a dialect of Qimant. The name Kayla is sometimes also used as a cover term for both Beta Israel dialects. It is known only from unpublished notes by Faïtlovich written in the Ge'ez alphabet, recently studied by Appleyard. It is preserved by the Beta Israel today.
