"People have said 'When we watch the game, we feel like you want to be there,' and I do."
Mike Tirico has received high marks from critics for his work over the closing weeks of the NFL season, as well as his initial playoff game that saw the Bengals defeat the Baltimore Ravens in thrilling fashion. He told ESPN 1000's Waddle & Silvy he has been blessed with nice compliments.
"They're fun. They're why you do this. It's why you're sitting there on a Tuesday night at 10 o'clock asking 'Do I have to watch another game of Jacksonville's?' It pays off. People have been very kind. The nicest thing that I've received from people that has made me– to be brutally honest with you — feel good is that people have said 'When we watch the game, we feel like you want to be there,' and I do.
"Other than being at home with my family, there's no place I'd rather be. And every week, before I do the game, I take a little picture on my phone during the national anthem from our spot. It's just great to look back. You're sitting in the best spot, with all these cameras and all these TVs and all these stats. A 17-time Emmy Award winner in Cris Collinsworth right next to you. You are so lucky to do this, and I enjoy every second of it."
Tirico's excitement and enthusiasm were compared to his NBC cohort Al Michaels, who received heavy criticism for a perceived lack of enthusiasm as the Jacksonville Jaguars completed one of the largest comebacks in NFL history to defeat the Los Angeles Chargers in the Super Wild Card Round. Michaels dismissed the criticism as "internet compost".

"Maybe he doesn't want to broadcast, and that's a standing offer. It's not like he has to take it right now."
Tom Brady is 45 years old. His future will be a source of speculation every year at the end of the NFL season. The end of the current season is no different, but a 10-year, $375 million deal with FOX is an element that has not been in the mix before. Jordan Schultz says that could stretch out the timeline before we get any certainty from the GOAT.
"He wants to take a month or two to really evaluate everything he has," The Score's NFL insider told Pat McAfee on Friday. "That means on the field, off the field, I think there are a couple of really important things to consider."
Those things for Tom Brady are his family and his goals. Schultz pointed out that Brady has two kids living in Miami, which makes the Dolphins a realistic option for next season. He also has a son living in New York, so the Jets cannot be ruled out. The Las Vegas Raiders were also mentioned as a potential landing spot.
Schultz described Brady's deal with FOX as "the elephant in the room" right now. The dollar figure is making the decision hard, but it likely will not be the determining factor.
"The thing you miss the most is the guys and the camaraderie, maybe not the grind of football, but those guys and those experiences," Schultz said. "You don't get that in the booth, but you do get the money and the lack of stress."
Complicating the decision is the fact that Brady is not under a time crunch with FOX. The network doesn't appear to be taking the offer off the table if he is not in the booth alongside Kevin Burkhardt by a pre-determined date.
Jordan Schultz says that based on what he has heard, it is more likely that FOX will have to keep waiting. While it isn't clear exactly what Brady's goal for 2023 is, Schultz said he would be surprised to see Brady retire now.
"MLB Network has been the exclusive home of the annual Hall of Fame class announcement since 2009."
Sports fans will find out who is in the 2023 induction class for the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday. MLB Network is going to make sure that no other media outlet offers more in-depth coverage before and after the names are revealed.
At 9:00 AM on Tuesday, the network will begin nine hours of coverage devoted exclusively to the voting results. Hot Stove, High Heat, and MLB Now — which will originate from the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY from Monday through Wednesday — will all discuss who is most likely to hear their name called.
MLB Network will air a four-hour special to announce the names. Greg Amsinger, Brian Kenny, and Lauren Shehadi will anchor the proceedings. National Baseball Hall of Fame President Josh Rawitch will read the names of the newly elected live from Cooperstown on the show. Bob Costas, Harold Reynolds, ESPN baseball columnist Joon Lee, Jon Morosi, Joel Sherman, Tom Verducci, and Jayson Stark will be part of the coverage as well.
"It was a show. He would get up out of his seat, he would talk about his throwing motion, running plays with imaginary receivers."
For the last six years, Jim Nantz and Tony Romo have been the lead team for NFL coverage on CBS. Even when Romo was the Dallas Cowboy starting quarterback, Nantz knew that Romo was going to do big things based off of the production meetings.
On the latest episode of The Ryen Russillo Podcast, Nantz was a guest and told Russillo about how the production meetings with Romo were always filled with entertainment.
"Tony was the biggest show. That's what first kind of tipped me off that this was something that was going to be his calling. It was a show. He would get up out of his seat, he would talk about his throwing motion, running plays with imaginary receivers. He walked through everything and you couldn't help but think man if that guy could bring that to television, he would be extraordinary and he is."
Over the years, Romo has received criticism for his broadcasting style and while Romo doesn't predict as many plays as he did when he started, Nantz said that his partner wants to show he can do more in the booth and getting nitpicked by people comes with the exposure they get.
"It's year 6 for the two of us. It's now well over 100 games and it's a high exposure. We had 30 some odd million people watching our game last week. When you are in someone's living room that often, people can start to nitpick a little bit. I think the guy's a genius. He's one of my best friends and I love hanging out with him."

Ryan Haney Knows College Football Is The Fabric of JOX 94.5


So I read about the Tentacle Man, the Red Man, the Grey Lady and the Purple Man, and tried to find a picture of the much missed Bath Blue Man, but couldn't find one. Anyone care to share?
His gimmick was to paint himself blue and stand immobile in an alcove next to the Roman Baths waiting for tourists to fling coins in his general direction. I actually preferred to see him idling in-between bouts of standing, still when he'd be enjoying a crafty roll-up. Many pretenders have tried to take his place (and his space come to think of it), but without success.
I did find this Local Heroes in Bath list though, which made me chuckle, especially entries like "Rolf Harris visits a bit". I'm slightly dubious about the assertion that Michael Jackson lives in Bath though. I may have to trot into town at the weekend to see if I can see Cheggers on the High Street, Lionel Blair in Boots, or maybe Seal in Sainsburys.
…as I did once see Anthony Stuart Head on the train. He had a brace of teenager girls travelling with him who I could only assume were "Slayers in Training".
Come to think of it, if you're a Bath resident you're perhaps more likely to spend your time tripping over tourists and forging a path through a sea of backpacks than looking for tourists.
1000 points to the first person to spot Rolf Harris on a bus tour, 500 points for any other celebrity, excluding Peter Gabriel who apparently "has been known to drive through town in his sports car" instead.

It is always great to give back. It is Friday, and I am linking to Kelly's Korner for her weekly Show Us Your Life series: Favorite Charities.
My Me-Me (my mom's mother) suffered from Alzheimer's disease for over 15 years. I saw first hand what it did to her and would never wish the disease on anyone. I always assumed the disease affected only the elderly but have learned that diagnosis of the disease has been found in younger patients.
"In 2006, American traveler Blake Mycoskie befriended children in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS Shoes, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One. Blake returned to Argentina with a group of family, friends and staff later that year with 10,000 pairs of shoes made possible by TOMS customers.
I have a couple pairs of TOMS, and personally I LOVE charities that allow the consumer to buy an item and money or product goes to helping others.

Survey: Manufacturers Behind the IIoT Curve
By Software AG Press Release
Reston, Va. – Software AG (Frankfurt, MDAX: SOW) announced an original survey of over 125 North American manufacturers in the heavy industry and automotive sectors that revealed they are unable to scale their Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) investments across their enterprises, and therefore are losing millions of dollars in potential profits while falling behind competitors that have invested in enabling technologies that support IIoT across the enterprise.
The survey also revealed that the vast majority of manufacturers queried report that their IIoT investments are limited – locked in one small department or sector of their company – preventing these organizations from sharing the power of IIoT across their enterprises. This has caused these manufacturers to lose millions of dollars in potential profits as they fall behind more forward-thinking competitors that have invested in predictive analytics and innovative integration strategies that scale IIoT across the enterprise.
Other key findings include:
80% of all survey respondents agree that processes around IIoT platforms need to be optimized or they will face a competitive disadvantage but very few are doing this.
IT-OT (Information Technology and Operations Technology) integration is considered one of the most difficult tasks – with 57% of automotive manufacturers stating that this has prevented them from realizing full ROI from their IIoT investments.
84% of automotive and heavy industry manufacturers agree that the most important area of IIoT is "monetization of product-as-a-service-revenue." However, optimizing production is still important with 58% of heavy industry and 50% of automotive manufacturers agreeing with that statement.
Curiously, defining threshold-based rules is considered almost as difficult as leveraging predictive analytics to scale IIoT. More than 60% of respondents stated that defining threshold-based rules was as difficult as integrating IT systems and IoT sensors into existing control systems.
"Manufacturers place a high value on IIoT, but they are encountering serious difficulties in unlocking the complete intended value and unleash their innovation across their organizations," said Sean T. Riley, Global Industry Director, Manufacturing and Transportation, Software AG. "Fortunately, there is a way for them to quickly and easily resolve this problem. "Fortunately, there is a way for them to quickly and easily resolve this problem. By investing in the right IT-OT integration strategy that leverages sensors, predictive analytics, machine learning, control applications and product quality control, manufacturers can fix this problem in less than 6-12 months while realizing other key benefits, namely extended equipment lifetime, reduced equipment maintenance costs and accessing more accurate data for production-quality improvements."
Riley outlined five best practices for manufacturers to follow when looking to scale their IIoT investments across their enterprises and realize immediate profits and competitive advantage. Those best practices are:
Ensure clear collaboration between IT and the business by leveraging a step by leveraging a step by step approach that starts focused and has clear near term and long term objectives to scale.
Create a transparent roll out process and don't let other plants or departments move ahead outside of it.
Give IT the ability to connect at speed with a digital production platform that is proven to be successful.
Leverage a GUI driven, consistent platform to enable an ecosystem of IT associates, business users and partners around the platform.
Enable the plant or field service workers to work autonomously without continual support from IT through GUI driven analytics, centralized management and easy, batch device connectivity and management.
The Software AG IIoT Implementation survey was completed in Q2 2019 by Software AG and an independent third-party research house. The survey queried nearly 200 respondents at large manufacturing companies across automotive, heavy industry, high-technology, electronics, pharmaceutical and medical device industries. The respondents were primarily senior executives leading Manufacturing or Information Technology with the breakdown of 50% Managers, 38% Directors and 13% Vice Presidents or higher.

Home Beyond ONW How Marijuana Component Helps Olathe Family
Beyond ONWFeatured on HomeFeatures
Marijuana has been a hot topic all across the U.S. for years. In some states, it's fully legal for recreational use, some states allow it for medical use, and in others marijuana is banned completely. In Kansas, it's not that cut and dry.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a drug made from hemp, a strain of the marijuana plant with lower levels of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the part of marijuana that makes you high. This CBD is the part of the plant that is currently legal in Kansas.
At the end of April last year, the Kansas Legislature voted to remove CBD without THC from their definition of marijuana, making CBD legal to both sell and possess in Kansas. This has been a very welcome change for many people around Kansas. The laws surrounding CBD used to be very vague and difficult to decipher. Now, citizens feel reassured that they know they can legally use CBD to help their families.
Tammy McCalla is a mother of three living in Olathe. Her son, Eli, suffers from epilepsy and frequent seizures. Three years ago, McCalla discovered CBD oil. The family had heard about a girl in Colorado who, like Eli, suffered from epilepsy. They began following her story and learned that CBD oil helped reduce the frequency and severity of her seizures.
The McCallas decided that it would be worth giving a try for their son. They discussed it with his neurologist, but she couldn't prescribe CBD oil due to current Kansas law. However, they were able to purchase and try it out on their own, and they quickly noticed a big difference. "He's been seizure free for the last few years," McCalla said. "He's been able to lower his other medications, and he's just more personable and calmer."
Despite all of the positive changes they have seen, there are still obstacles McCalla would like to see overcome when it comes to Kansas laws surrounding CBD and medical marijuana. "We would love for his neurologist to be able to prescribe it for him… but at this point, because of how the laws are set, up that's not a possibility," McCalla said.
However, McCalla does have hope that doctors will soon be able to prescribe CBD. "I think there's some changes that are coming about that are making that more possible," McCalla said.
Right now, one of the most important ways to advance laws and views around medical marijuana and its components is simply by talking about it and becoming informed. "There's a lot of misconception with it because it is a felony to use marijuana, but there are a lot of benefits to the CBD portion of it," McCalla said. "There's a lot of misconceptions with medical marijuana and with the different components of the marijuana plant. It's important for high school students to understand the legalities of that… and just making sure they're researching what's going into their bodies."
McCalla loves being able to use CBD to help her son, but she believes there could be many more benefits for other families if medical marijuana were to be legalized in Kansas. "There have been some studies looking into children with autism and there's already a lot of evidence with children with severe epilepsy. I think there's potentially a lot of benefits for lots of different neurological conditions and disorders," McCalla said.
Multiple current Kansas politicians agree that there could be numerous benefits to legalizing medical marijuana. New governor Laura Kelly is an open supporter of the legalization of marijuana for medicinal purposes.
There are also two bills currently being drafted to legalize medical marijuana. One is more conservative while the other allows for more options. Either way, this would be a large step forward for Kansas and would be faced with a mix of support and opposition from all sides.

Arthur's Garden (Hardcover)
Up the Garden Path, Down Memory Lane
By Pam Rhodes
Lion Books, 9780745980447, 208pp.
"As I stand at my kitchen sink and look across at what we optimistically call our herb garden, to one side I see an old wooden sign on which are carved the words 'Arthur's Garden'. Arthur doesn't live here. My wonderful great-uncle died nearly thirty years ago having spent most of his long life in the Victorian terraced house in which his mother had brought up eleven children. The sign had stood in the garden there for decades, a gift to the man who'd always cherished that small patch of Kent, creating a riot of glorious colour which lit up the row of long, narrow strips that tumbled down to a line of back gates from which you could look across the lane to the local coal yard below." In Arthur's Garden, Pam Rhodes collates a heart-warming collection of songs and poems, advice and tit bits about the glorious, very ordinary, English garden - told through the life of her Uncle Arthur. This is a gardening book, with a story.
Pam Rhodes is known around the world as the presenter of BBC Television's Songs of Praise and her popular Hearts and Hymns programme on Premier Christian Radio. She describes herself as an 'anorak' in her fascination for hymns old and new, and her books on hymn-writers, like Love So Amazing, Then Sings My Soul and Hear My Song are essentials in many a church vestry! A natural storyteller with 25 varied books under her belt, Pam is perhaps best known for her novels packed with down-to-earth characters and situations that inspire and entertain.


A super simple weeknight dinner, these Pineapple-Lime Broiled Chicken Drumsticks are basted with an easy pineapple lime sauce that takes only minutes to throw together.
If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I am living the life in the Caribbean on a cruise this week. It has been a dream – a vacation that I needed more than ever.
But it didn't start off so great. We had a 7am flight out, that turned into a 2pm flight that almost didn't happen. Luckily, everything turned out just fine. But we got to spend some extra time at the airport that day.
One thing I love about the airport is all of the people watching. As I was sitting, I heard a conversation behind me. The man told his wife that they should go get in line to board the plane. She responded that they should probably wait for the kids to come back. And then I got a good chuckle when he said "well, they are in their 50s – they should be able to navigate the airport by now." I didn't see them because I didn't want to turn around and make it apparent that I was listening to their conversation, so I didn't realize they were older. But I almost laughed out loud. Because I could totally see me and my husband in that situation. I can see me being the one still wanting to baby our kids, even when they are grown with kids of their own. And my husband reminding me that they are capable of doing things on their own!!
It's a good thing my kids are still young so I can keep on babying them for the time being!!
While I don't always cook just what I know they will eat – we would be eating chicken nuggets and peanut butter sandwiches for dinner every night – I do like to find things that I know that they will love that mom and dad will love, too. My daughter really loves to be "grown up" when we have meat on the bone, and never wants hers cut off. So if we have wings, she wants the whole thing. She started calling anything with bones "eating chicken bones", and it's kind of stuck with all of the kids. It's turned into quite the novelty.
I knew they would all love eating chicken drumsticks for dinner, and sure enough, they all got excited about "chicken bones" for dinner that night!!
This recipe for chicken drumsticks is super simple – perfect for a night when you need a super easy and budget friendly meal. Chicken drumsticks are basted with a sweet and salty sauce and then broiled to perfection. I love that there are only a few ingredients and that it's a meal that is done in 30 minutes. And when the kids love it, too – it's definitely a bonus!!
Place an oven rack 6 inches from the broiler and turn on the broiler. Line a large baking sheet with foil, and spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, combine the pineapple preserves, lime juice, teriyaki sauce and cayenne pepper. Take about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and place it in another small bowl and set aside.
Sprinkle the drumsticks with salt and pepper. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Baste the chicken with the mixture from the first bowl. Place the pan in the oven and cook until the drumsticks are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes, turning the chicken and brushing with the mixture every 5 minutes.
Clean the basting brush (or use a new, clean brush). Baste the chicken with the reserved 2 tablespoons of the pineapple mixture just before serving.
Love the pineapple lime flavors! Perfect weeknight dinner!
the meat so well. Yum!

"Pick up where you left last X" by not committing last changes, good branches and pseudocode.
When programming, you often need to carry a single task on to the next day, or till "after the meeting" and such. I experimented and found a good method, to pick up where I left. Working the GTD way, well documented code, a good software architecutre all help keeping a project in line, up to speed and manageble. But it does not solve one thing, though: "picking up where you left". I have many clients, did many projects and have lots of strings attached. Hence I get disturbed very often. Even when you can focus entirely on one single programming task (lucky you!) five o'clock is the end of the day (or, in my case, 18:30). Going on for another half hour or so is perfectly fine, but most often I cannot finish a single task and need to carry it on to the next day. Or till after that meeting. Getting back in the flow then, requires quite some effort. What I do, is twofolded: work with pseudocode and don't commit the last run.
First, I outline my project in the usual diagrams, documents and such. Then, when working on a more micro-level (the methods), I first write out the inner workings in comments. Steve McConnell, in Code Complete, calls this Pseudo Programming Process. When finished, I will commit this. When not finished, see below. You often see some meeting, break, or end-of-day coming closer, while working in several Classes, on several routines, or in the database, documenation and code all at once. You are in a certain flow, but really need to halt, because people are waiting, kids need to be picked up at school or your girlfriend needs attention. Valid enough to stop working for now. Most people I know, finish up hastily, and commit the work. I call these five o'clock commits not only are they horrible from a revisioncontrol point (a commit should always describe a complete change) but they offer an opportunity for you: to keep in the flow. Do not commit this. Leave it as it is. Even if you have your work in a commitable state, leave it! After your break, or next day, you open the code, and when you left it commitable, the first thing you must do, is commit the work.
This forces you to read through the diff, describe the changes and then commit. I found this exercise more then enough to get me right into the flow, to pick up where I left. If you left it in an uncommitable state, then somewhat the same applies. You can read through the diff, describe what was going on and pick up the work right away.
When combined with good branching practice this "reading through the diff" takes less then ten minutes. And, as is my experience, even helps when picking up work after a few days other work, or a long weekend or any other situation where simply the diff does not ring a bell anymore. In fact, after finishing this blogpost, I am going to pick up where I left friday (six days ago) and I am confident that the commented pseudocode, good branchnames and the diff leave me more then enough hints to be on track in less then ten minutes.

"As long as we have Deaf people on Earth, we will have signs...
our beautiful Sign Language is the noblest gift God has given to
Deaf people."

The education of Deaf children is complex and has been controversial throughout history. Try to imagine what it would be like to never have heard a spoken word! How could you possibly learn a language? Children who are deaf need two languages - a signed language and a spoken/written form of a hearing language in order to develop and function in a hearing world. That being said, mastering the English Language with its complex structure, grammar and idioms is very difficult for deaf children. They cannot learn words based on phonetic sounds. The spelling every word has to be committed to memory rather than "sounded out" as hearing children learn to do. Deaf children cannot learn a spoken language through hearing. Their first and most important means of communication is sign language. American Sign Language (ASL) is recognized as the official language of deaf people in Canada and the USA. It has its own complex grammar and structure that are not derived from the English language.
The majority of deaf children are born to hearing parents and arrive at school without a language. Primarily, their hearing parents communicate with them through home-made signs, pointing and gesturing. In the children's prime years of learning, they miss out on fairy tales, story book reading, the language structure of their parent's language and of their own language. Due to the parents' inability to communicate with them, these deaf children get no explanations of why they can and cannot do things. More importantly, they miss out on incidental learning and language development that take place daily in conversations around them or through information that would normally be gleaned from playmates, radio, television, and other sources. This lack of background knowledge and information puts them at a major disadvantage compared to hearing children starting school at the same age. Research on the reading abilities of Deaf children reveals that they have difficulty learning how to read in English because of the missing background information and because of their lack of knowledge of English language structure. The lack of exposure to information within their environment means that they cannot put new information in perspective. Deaf children of Deaf parents do better because they have a language base which enables them to make sense of the signs they receive. They have access to incidental information and can converse freely with their Deaf parents. They star school with linguistic knowledge in ASL upon which there are two different languages and they have some idea of how they both work. This background information gives these Deaf children a huge advantage over their peers with hearing parents, who for the most part only begin to learn signs when starting school.
Educating Deaf children presents unique challenges that do not have to be considered for children with disabilities who can hear. Hearing children with disabilities share the same language (English) as other sttttudens in the school. Deaf children's native language is sign language. Sadly, most children who are born deaf are not given the opportunity to discover the world of language early in life. According to Meadow (1980) for children born with a profound congenital hearing loss, the fundamental deprivation is not that of sound, but of language. For education of Deaf children to succeed, it is imperative that they be taught ASL at a very young age. The language of instruction in school must be received by the Deaf students in ASL.
Many hearing people have the misconception that American Sign Language is spoken English expressed on the hands. In fact, American Sign Language (ASL), as stated earlier, has a complex grammar that is very different from the English language. ASL has its own rules of word and sentence formation. ASL uses the hands, the face and the body in the production of language. A sign in ASL represents not an English word, but a concept. ASL is as complex and expressive as spoken language. For hearing parents, learning ASL means learning a foreign language, and one that is difficult for many English speakers because it is so different from English, not only in mode of expression but in form and structure. (Likewise, Chinese, which is very different from English in form and structure, is more difficult for English speakers to hear than say, French.)
With the closure of the Newfoundland School for the Deaf, the NLAD and members of the Deaf community have a number of concerns regarding the education of the Deaf children. Some of these concerns are:
Who will be teaching pre-school children sign language?
Who will be monitoring the progress of Deaf children in inclusive education? This monitoring must include academics, social and extra-curricular activities as well as child satisfaction with placement.
Quality of interpreters
Quality of teachers of the Deaf
Quality of student assistants
Deaf role models
NLAD is aware of one child in this province who is mainstreamed with no teacher of the Deaf, no interpreter and no supports. The child misses a lot of school because of this placement. NLAD has concerns that there may be other children throughout the province in similar situations.
NLAD needs the assurance of the provincial government that the deaf children throughout the province of Newfoundland and Labrador will have access to all supports that are needed for their education in an inclusive environment and that these supports will be put in place.

Q: Questions about PO category I'm very new to category theory. And I have some basic questions:
Let $(X, \leq)$ be a preordered set ($\leq$ is reflexive and transitive).
Define a category $PO(X, \leq)$ by

*

*The objects of $PO(X, \leq)$ is the set $X$.

*The morphisms are defined to be $Hom(x,y) = \emptyset$ if $x \not\leq y$ and $Hom(x,y)= \{u_{x,y}\}$ if $x \leq y$.

*Composition is defined by $u_{y,z} \circ u_{x,y} = u_{x,z}$
Questions:
(1) Are the $u_{x,y}$ just formal symbols? What exactly are they?
(2) It looks like we only defined the composition map $\circ$ for the case
$$\circ: Hom(x,y) \times Hom(y,z) \to Hom(x,z)$$
where $x \leq y$ and $y \leq z$.
Do we implicitely define the composition maps to be $\emptyset$ in all other cases?

A:
(1) Are the $u_{x,y}$ just formal symbols? What exactly are they?

Yes, that's exactly what they are: just stand-ins. The situation is similar to when I tell you we are dealing with the group $C_4$; it doesn't matter whether this is the numbers $\{0, 1, 2, 3\}$, or equivalence classes of integers, or formal symbols $e, g, g^2, g^3$; you understand what to do with them.

(2) (...) Do we implicitely define the composition maps to be $\emptyset$ in all other cases?

Indeed, in all other cases the domain of the composition function is empty, so the only possible mapping is the empty map.

A: (1) Yes, $u_{x,y}$ is just the name given to the unique morphism $x \to y$ when $x \le y$.
(2) If $x \not\le y$ or $y \not\le z$, then the domain of $\circ : \mathrm{Hom}(x,y) \times \mathrm{Hom}(y,z) \to \mathrm{Hom}(x,z)$ is empty, so the only possible way that it can be defined is as the trivial map $\varnothing \to \mathrm{Hom}(x,z)$.
Put another way, the composition map $\circ$ on a category $\mathcal{C}$ can be specified by defining what value is taken by $g \circ f$ on all pairs $(f,g)$ of composable morphisms in $\mathcal{C}$. In this case, the only pairs composable morphisms are those of the form $(u_{x,y}, u_{y,z})$ for $x \le y \le z$, so it suffices to only define what $u_{y,z} \circ u_{x,y}$ is for $x \le y \le z$.

Yes, Mills will rue the day he clowned around with a rugby ball. Seems he is unable to capture his stellar form since.

Through long-term, collaborative development, we are working to meet global challenges with sustainable solutions and help deep transformation take place in rural communities.
On April 25, 2015, the 7.8 magnitude "Gorkha Earthquake" destroyed 99% of the homes in Takure and the surrounding communities. Overnight, families were left without homes, Our primary goal has always been to support the home reconstruction effort. With that aim, we focus in three main areas of impact: introduction to natural building techniques, local production of natural building materials, and distribution of these same materials.
The people of Nepal are farmers. Our goal is to engage farmers of all ages in more profitable farming through the active reforestation of their land and climate change mitigation. We focus on cash crop trees, most notably coffee, but also citrus and moringa. This last year, Conscious Impact distributed more than 3,000 trees, bringing our total to 11,500 trees distributed to local farmers in the last 3 years. Our hope is to reach 25,000 trees within 5 years.
Our Youth Outreach Program's goal is to provide extracurricular support to nearby schools at the primary and secondary level. The two main forms of support are environmental education and youth empowerment. Conscious Impact has chosen to support young people to feel more deeply connected to the natural world, and to help cultivate positive, self-confident, and healthy mindsets about themselves and one another.
OUR MISSION IS TO CONNECT PEOPLE TO THEMSELVES, EACH OTHER AND THE EARTH THROUGH COMMUNITY SERVICE WORK AROUND THE WORLD.
We believe that change takes time, and that only through long-term partnership can deep transformation take place. For this reason, we strive to develop relationships of depth with rural communities around the world. Currently, Conscious Impact is partnered with only one community, Takure, a small village in rural Nepal. In the last three years, we have begun to foster dialogue, trust, respect and understanding. We partner with the local community to ensure that our programs are truly helpful, relevant and driven by local leadership from within the community. From this foundation, we are building programs and projects that are inclusive, respectful, conscious and effective. We invite international volunteers of all backgrounds to join our project to offer skilled or unskilled labor, financial donations, and compassionate service to the local community.

(Zitat aus dem Bericht - um den vollständigen Bericht zu lesen, siehe den Link unten)
Ho Chi Minh :
Comrades, I only wish to put forward some suggestions about Comrade Manuilsky's criticisms of our policy on the colonial question.
it is not an exaggeration to say that so long as the French and British Communist Parties have not brought out a really progressive policy with regard to the colonies, have not come into contact with the colonial peoples, their programme as a whole is and will be ineffective because it goes counter to Leninism. I will explain myself more clearly. In his speech on Lenin and the national question Comrade Stalin said that the reformists and leaders of the Second International dared not align the white people of the colonies with their coloured counterparts. Lenin also refused to recognize this division and pushed aside the obstacle separating the civilized slaves of imperialism from the uncivilized slaves.
According to Lenin, the victory of the revolution in Western Europe depended on its close contact with the liberation movement against imperialism in enslaved colonies and with the national question, both of which form a part of the common problem of the proletarian revolution and dictatorship.
Later, Comrade Stalin spoke of the viewpoint which held that the European proletarians can achieve success without a direct alliance with the liberation movement in the colonies. And he considered this a counter-revolutionary viewpoint. But if we judge from practice to make our theoretical examination, we are entitled to say that our big Parties, excepting the Soviet Communist Party, still hold the above-mentioned viewpoint because they are inactive in this matter.
What have the bourgeois class in the colonialist countries done towards oppressing so many people enslaved by them? They have done everything. Using the means given them by the State administrative machine, they have carried out an intense propaganda. They have crammed the heads. of the people of the mother countries with speeches, films, newspapers, exhibitions and every other means, so that they have a colonialist outlook; they have displayed before their eyes pictures of the easy, honourable and rich life which seems to await them in the colonies.
As for our Communist Parties in Great Britain, Holland, Belgium and other countries - what have they done to cope with the colonial invasions perpetrated by the bourgeois. class of their countries? What have they done from the day they accepted Lenin's political programme to educate the working class of their countries in the spirit of just internationalism, and that of close contact with the working. masses in the colonies? What our Parties have done in this domain is almost worthless. As for me, I was born in a French colony, and am a member of the French Communist Party, and I am very sorry to say that our Communist Party has done hardly anything for the colonies.
It is the task of the communist newspapers to introduce the colonial question to our militants to awaken the working masses in the colonies, win them over to the cause of Communism, but what have our newspapers done? Nothing at all.
If we compare the number of columns devoted to the colonial question in the bourgeois newspapers such as The Times, Figaro, Evre or in those of different opinions such as Le Populaire, or Liberty, with those devoted to the same question in l´Humanite, the central organ of our Party, we are bound to say that this comparison will not be favourable to us.
When the Ministry of Colonies worked out a plan for transforming many African regions into large private plantations, and turning the people of these regions into veritable slaves attached to the new employers' land, our newspapers still remained silent. In the French West African colonies, forcible measures for enlistment unknown for centuries were carried out, and yet our newspapers maintained a close silence. The colonialist authorities in Indo-China turned themselves into slave traders, and sold the inhabitants of north Viet Nam to planters in the Pacific islands; they lengthened the natives' military service from two to four years; they sold the greater part of the colonial land to financier sharks; they increased taxes by a further 30 per cent in spite of the natives' inability to pay the old ones. And all this was done while the natives were being driven to bankruptcy and dying of hunger through flood. However, our newspapers still maintained silence. Thus, it is no wonder that the natives are inclined to side with organizations for democracy and freedom such as the Society for the Rights of Man and the Citizen together with other similar organizations which take care of them or pretend to take care of them.
If we go even further, we shall see incredible things, making everybody think that our Party has a disregard for all that concerns the colonies. For instance: I'Humanite did not publish the International Peasants' Appeal to the people of the colonies issued by the Communist International.
Prior to the Lyons conference, the items listed for debate covered all political programmes except that on the colonial question. L'Humanite carried many articles on the Senegal boxer Siki's success, but did not raise its voice when the dockers at Dakar port, Siki's brothers, were arrested in the middle of their work, tied hand and foot, hauled on to lorries and taken to jail. Later they were sent to the garrisons to be turned into 'defenders of civilization', that is to say, into soldiers. The central organ of our Party daily informed our readers of the feats of the pilot Uadi, who flew from Paris to Indo-China. But when the colonial administration pillaged the people of 'Dai Nam', robbed them of their fields to give them to the French profiteers, sent out bombers with orders to the pilots to teach reason to the pitiful and despoiled local people, the organ of our Party did not find it necessary to bring this news to the knowledge of its readers.
Comrades, the press of the French bourgeoisie has realized that the national question cannot be separated from the colonial question. In my opinion, our Party has not thoroughly understood this. The lessons of the Ruhr, when the native troops who were sent out 'to comfort' the starving German workers, encircled the suspected French regiments; the example of the Eastern troops, in which the native forces were given machine-guns 'to mobilize the spirit' of the French troops worn out by the hard and protracted war; the events which occurred in 1917 at places where Russian troops were stationed in France; the lesson of the strike of agricultural workers in the Pyrenees where native troops were forced to play the shameful part of saboteurs; and finally the presence of 207,000 colonial troops in France itself - all these have not made our Party think, have not made our Party find it necessary to lay down a clear and firm policy on colonial questions. The Party has missed many good opportunities for propaganda. The new leading organs of the Party have acknowledged that the Party is in a corner over this question. This is a good sign, because once the leaders of the Party have realized and recognized this weak point in the Party's policy, there is hope that the Party will do its utmost to rectify its errors.
What are these practical deeds? To work out long political programmes and pass high-sounding resolutions which are, after the Congress, sent to the museum as has always been done in the past, is not enough. We must adopt concrete measures.

PEVerify tool allows to check assemblies to determine whether MSIL code and associated metadata meet type safety requirements. .NET verification has the special meaning in security constrained environments such as Windows Phone, WinRT and Silverlight, where running the unverifiable code can produce unexpected results, sometimes rendering the application unworkable.
Eazfuscator.NET modifies metadata and MSIL assembly code during obfuscation. So it may be profitable to ensure that the output assembly still meets type safety requirements.
PEVerify.exe is distributed as a part of .NET SDK which is installed together with Microsoft Visual Studio and can be invoked manually.

Q: Why is the frame bundle of $S^1$ homeomorphic to $S^1$? I'm trying to understand why there are only 2 spin structures on the circle $S^1$. From my understanding, in dimension 1 at least, a spin structure on a manifold $M$ is just a double cover of the frame tangent bundle.
According to this MathOverflow post, the frame bundle of $S^1$ is homeomorphic to $S^1$ - then, since the circle only has 2 distinct double covers, the result would follow.
But I don't see why the frame bundle of the circle is homeomorphic to $S^1$ - Isn't the frame bundle a principal GL$(1,\mathbb{R})$ bundle in this case, meaning that each fiber has dimension 1? How could the whole bundle also have dimension 1?

A: On any manifold $M$ we can pick a Riemannian metric, which allows us to deformation retract the frame bundle onto the orthonormal frame bundle; if $M$ is an $n$-manifold this is a principal $O(n)$-bundle, compared to the frame bundle itself which is a principal $GL_n(\mathbb{R})$-bundle. If $M$ is oriented then we can similarly deformation retract the oriented frame bundle onto the oriented orthonormal frame bundle (as Andrew says in the comments, this is presumably what the linked post is really referring to by "frame bundle"). This is a principal $SO(n)$-bundle, so for $n = 1$ it's a principal $SO(1)$-bundle.
Since $SO(1)$ is trivial, the fibers of this bundle are trivial (this says that at each tangent space to $S^1$ there is a unique unit tangent vector compatible with a given choice of orientation), so the oriented orthonormal frame bundle of $S^1$ is $S^1$ again.


As intimate and cosy as it is hair-raising, this trio of delightfully thrilling ghost stories – set to the haunting sounds of the violin – is a riveting and creepy storytelling experience.
The Book of Darkness & Light contains within it some of the most chilling tales ever told. Supernatural mysteries stir from its pages. You feel a prickle on your neck. Your blood stills. A monstrous thing creeps in the shadows. Is it all in your mind? Tricks of the light? Or something far more sinister?

Representative Casten knows that families in Illinois's 6th District want and deserve a strong economy that provides jobs of the future for our children and grandchildren. He is fighting for job creation, economic opportunity for all, and fair and responsible ways to reduce the deficit.
Unfortunately, for too long, too little of our Federal budget has been devoted to investing in our own economy – to building the basic infrastructure that serves as a foundation for private-sector growth.
Contrary to some political schools of thought that have long promoted cutting funding for the sake of claiming small government fiscal constraint, Representative Casten believes that funding infrastructure is one of the best investments we can make, because the jobs that result cannot be outsourced.
Building safer more modern roads and bridges, expanding transit systems, enhancing our waterways, promoting research and development – these are all infrastructure investments that give our businesses tools to grow and create jobs for our citizens. These are all the kinds of investments that Representative Casten is working to advance in Congress.
Not only does Representative Casten recognize that our nation needs to invest in itself, but he also knows that long-lasting economic security requires government policies don't discourage the private sector from investing in itself and our collective future. That is why he is also working to advance policies that encourage American businesses to flex their muscles and to be innovative, while also being good citizens, stewards, and neighbors.

Casten Votes to Restore State and Local Tax Deduction
Washington, D.C – Today, U.S. Representative Sean Casten (IL-06) released the following statement after he voted to pass H.R. 5377, the Restoring Tax Fairness for State and Localities Act, fulfilling a promise he made to his constituents to repeal the disastrous state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap implemented in the 2017 Republican Tax Bill.
House Votes to Repeal SALT Cap—But GOP-led Senate Looms
December 20, 2019 In The News
(Bloomberg)—Democrats from high-tax states scored a symbolic victory Thursday as the House voted to repeal a politically fraught portion of President Donald Trump's tax law: the cap on state and local tax, or SALT, deductions.
The legislation would repeal the $10,000 cap in 2020 and 2021, and raises it to $20,000 for married couples for 2019. The measure is offset by raising the top individual tax rate to 39.6 percent from 37 percent.
House Votes to Temporarily Repeal Trump SALT Deduction Cap
The House on Thursday voted to temporarily repeal much of the GOP tax law's cap on the state and local tax (SALT) deduction, a key priority for many Democrats.
The bill passed on a near party line vote of 218-206.
Republicans, though, got their own victory in the process when Democrats agreed to adopt their motion to amend, bringing changes to the legislation.
Casten Statement on His Vote to Approve the USMCA Trade Agreement
Washington, D.C – Today, U.S. Representative Sean Casten (IL-06) released the following statement after he voted in support of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which will replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) as the agreement that regulates trade between the three countries.
Casten, Underwood Cheer as House Panel Moves to Repeal SALT Cap
With a big push from two suburban Democrats, the House Ways & Means Committee late Wednesday voted to dump the tax clause that many Illinoisans have come to detest: the $10,000 a year cap on deducting state and local taxes on your federal income tax return.
Underwood on Trump Impeachment: In Illinois, Folks Are 'Familiar with Political Corruption. It's Not A Foreign Concept'
WASHINGTON — House Democrats unveiled two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump on Tuesday and then handed him a major legislative win — a pending deal on a new U.S.–Canada-Mexico trade pact.
The coincidental byproduct of locking in the deal now is that endangered House Democrats can go home for the holidays and have bipartisan landmark legislation to talk about — as well as impeachment.
House Democrats Unveil Plan for Temporary Repeal of State-Deduction Cap
WASHINGTON—The cap on state and local tax deductions would be repealed for two years under a new Democratic proposal that almost certainly won't become law while Republicans control the Senate and White House.
The bill, slated for a House Ways and Means Committee vote Wednesday, signals the Democrats' position on a provision of the 2017 tax law particularly unpopular with residents of high-tax states such as New York, New Jersey and California.
Casten, Foster, Merkley Lead Bicameral Investor Choice Act
December 9, 2019 Press Release
Washington, DC – Today, U.S. Representatives Sean Casten (D-IL), Bill Foster (D-IL), and U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) introduced the Investor Choice Act, which would prohibit pre-dispute mandatory (or "forced") arbitration agreements and ban prohibitions on class action lawsuits in customer contracts that investors often must enter into in order to receive services from broker-dealers or investment advisers.
House Democrats to Move on Temporary 'SALT' Cap Increase

A: By saying

I'm trying to find and delete all records that contain a certain string in a database...

Do you need to delete some records in a table, if a data element in a column contains a certain string ?
if so you can use :
Delete from yourTable where relevantField like '%YourSearchText%'

or you want to check all the columns of all the tables and delete any record (the whole row) satisfying that condition, you may have to use the one you posted and modify it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Replace
DECLARE @Results TABLE (ColumnName nvarchar(370), ColumnValue nvarchar(3630))

With
DECLARE @Results TABLE (TableName nvarchar(370), ColumnName nvarchar(370))

Replace
INSERT INTO @Results
Exec ...

With
INSERT INTO @Results
Select @TableName as TableName, @ColumnName as ColumnName

Replace
SELECT ColumnName, ColumnValue FROM @Results

With
Select @execSQL =
'Delete from [' + TableName + '] where [' + ColumnName + '] like ''%' + @s + '%'''  from @Results Group by TableName, ColumnName
Exec (@execSQL)

In the declaration - declare the variable @execSQL, as
Declare @execSQL nvarchar(max)

Treeslod_23 is a simple mod that improves the look of trees and and soil at long distances.
If you're looking at a forest from a distance you might notice a lack of detail. Trees and the land look, well, generic. This mod fixes that.
With this mod installed the imposter trees look richer and more detailed. Same goes for the soil that's beneath them. Forests and other areas look a lot more convincing and it adds to the immersion.
Fortunately, this comes without a cost to performance. You shouldn't notice a dip to your frame rate with this mod on board.
This mod is only available for Xbox One.
