If pure-bred means of unmixed descent then it can hardly be applied to our recognised breeds of dog, those registered as breeds by the Kennel Club. According to the KC's own Glossary of Terms, the words pure bred are defined as 'A dog whose sire and dam belong to the same breed, and are themselves of unmixed descent.' If the caveat 'for a minimum of five generations' had been added to this definition, it would have had greater validity. I would be interested to know of a recognised breed which is truly of unmixed descent. Such an event is as assailable as the statement that modern dog is descended from modern wolf, as so many lazily claim. But for a breed to come from mixed ancestry is for me a strength not a derogatory sly gibe. It is fair to state, I believe, that only show breeders rate purity of breeding ahead of the worthiness of the individual dog. To value a dog solely because it is a registered pure-bred dog and not mainly because of its mental and physical attributes is, to me, irrational and unwise.
Those who use dogs, sportsmen, hunters, shepherds and ranchers, demand dogs with ability. The hunting world both here and overseas has long sought field excellence ahead of any cosmetic value or respect for registries. The maintenance of a studbook has for them been important eugenistically not the dogmatic insistence on a closed gene-pool, come what may. Writing in Hounds magazine in 2004, Charles Fielding, an acknowledged expert on hound breeding, used these words: "Fortunately hounds are bred from in the winter when their working abilities are foremost in the mind, but woe betide anyone who tries to breed for looks alone." It is hard to imagine any breed registered with the KC following such a philosophy. Breed purity and cosmetic appeal has in so many breeds held sway over soundness, health, historic type and ability to fulfil the breed's original purpose.
It is strange that outcrossing to another breed either to restore type or improve the phenotype is considered an anathema by so many pure-bred dog devotees. The list of breeds improved or developed by such an outcross is already impressive: Foxhound blood in the Pointer, Greyhound blood in the Deerhound, Springer blood in the Field Spaniel, Tibetan Mastiff blood in the re-created Irish Wolfhound and the use by Millais of Bloodhound blood in his Basset Hound breeding plans, for example. Inspired breeders used selected breeds for the blend which produced the Dobermann, the Korthals Griffon, the Black Russian Terrier and the Dogo Argentino. The surreptitious use of Borzoi blood to change the shape of the Collie's head, of Wire-haired Fox Terrier blood in the Welsh Terrier and of Pug blood to change the jaw length of the Bulldog is rarely aired. The Mastiff was re-created here in the 19th century using the blood of the Tibetan Mastiff, the Great Dane and the Alpine Mastiff, but is still usually described as our 'ancient breed'.
Despite that background the fierce defence of pure-breeding is the norm in Britain, but not in the hunting field, where performance is all and the conformation to achieve that performance studied assiduously. The blood of the West Country Harrier can be found in most Foxhound pedigrees here and in over forty packs in America. The blood of the Welsh Hound similarly appears in the extended pedigrees in so many packs here. The pursuit of excellence and the desire to improve field performance takes precedence over mere dogma it seems. The French hunting packs soon swooped to obtain the blood of the world-famous Dumfriesshire Foxhounds, when the hunting ban imposed by the Scottish parliament took effect. The Foxhound is recognised by the KC and now appears at KC-licensed shows. I cannot see the blood of Welsh Hounds or Harriers being used to improve the breed's show ring specimens if needed, whatever the hunting mens' views. This blending of blood is how all sporting breeds were shaped and handed down to us; is breeding wisdom going to the dogs!
In spite of the craving for pure unsullied blood, invented breeds like the Kromfohrlander, the Chinook, the Eurasier and the Kyi-Leo, the first-named from an accidental mating between two breeds kenneled together, are now recognised as breeds abroad. Where is the logic in such recognition? It makes the insistence on closed gene-pools look absurd. Of course crossing two breeds needlessly doesn't make sense, if necessary when the production of say a purpose-built lurcher is desired. But when cross-breeding improves a breed it should surely be welcomed; injudicious cross-breeding however without skilled advice and shrewdly-selected material should always be avoided. There are no magic answers in breeding, the selection of breeding stock based on diligent research is always the way forward.
But the choice of breeding material should be based surely on need, not dogma. In recent years I have seen two 'Mastiffs' which conformed to the type depicted in so many 17th, 18th and early 19th century portrayals. One was a Mastiff-Staffie cross and the other a Mastiff-Bullmastiff cross. The Mastiff of the show ring is for me a fawn Alpine Mastiff, lacking the anatomy of our famous native breed. That may not be surprising, bearing in mind the blend of breeds behind the Mastiff's re-shaping in the 19th century, but is it historically correct? Once, at an Irish Wolfhound ring, I watched a shaggy exhibit for a while and then remembered where I had seen that 'look' previously - in the depiction of an early importation of a Tibetan Mastiff. Capt Graham, re-creator of the Irish Wolfhound used a Tibetan Mastiff sire 'Wolf' on the wolfhound 'Tara' and their offspring appear in the pedigree of every modern Irish Wolfhound.
In all areas of livestock breeding the value of hybrid vigour is acknowledged, except in dogs. Some of the most impressive dogs I have seen in the last twenty years have been cross-bred dogs. These have mainly been working terriers and lurchers, but include too: a Springer-Clumber cross, a Dalmatian-Weimaraner cross, a Dogue de Bordeaux-Bulldog cross, a Dobermann-Deerhound cross, a Mastiff-Bullmastiff cross and a blend of Dobermann and Irish Setter. Some were accidental, some were planned with care and knowledge. Crosses between two retriever breeds have been favoured by the Guide Dogs for the Blind organisation. Our ancestors didn't worship the pedigree; sportsmen have kept faith with their predecessors in any number of countries. The best breeders know that you get the best results when you breed one outstanding dog to another, suitably matched. Breeders of packhounds and lurchers still rely on this ancient system.

Leftovers by Aditi Ramesh
By Sharath Krishnaswami on 12/12/2019 at 10:52 pm
Leftovers Aditi Ramesh
Don't Be Rude
In an interview with Arul Kale in astray.in Aditi Ramesh says, "I was amazed; I didn't believe the kind of stuff I was writing, the kind of stuff I was playing live, the way I was able to articulate things. Now, with building a larger ensemble, you need to be able to communicate how you're feeling, what your ideas are to a lot more musicians and they need to be on the same page and everything needs to be cohesive." In pursuit of this cohesiveness, Aditi embarks on her second EP Leftovers after Autocorrect which released last year.
Leftovers begins with 'Origin', a possible ode to the evolution of her style of music. Fusion would be a loosely held term to identify her style, because it is a conglomeration of diverse genres, each running off in its own merit only to be drawn into the strength of her voice, which blends seamlessly from funk to Carnatic.
'Origins' breaks into Muthuswami Dikshitar's Natai raga accompanied by her band which comprises guitarist Anthony Cammarota, drummer Ishan Jadwani and bassist Bijit Bhattacharya. It would be safe to say, that the beginning of any pathbreaking genre is composed of experiments. This EP appears to be one such experiment.
'Folders' begins with Aditi on the keyboard. The first few notes seem jazzy until Aditi's crisp voice cuts into the calming tones on the guitar and a lazy percussion. It later escalates into a scramble of Carnatic and hip hop. However, turning around the Indie scene and making it question where it stands.
One other artist that I could draw an uneven parallel to was Bindu Subramaniam and her Thayir Sadam Project. But with a snippet of 'Dont Re Rude', Aditi eases into a relatable refrain, jazz forming the overwhelming component.
In the fourth song of her EP, Aditi falls back to her Carnatic roots. In a world where people rehash old music to make new, one can only hope that such music lasts the test of time.

Home News New coaching role for Latapy
New coaching role for Latapy
By Staff Reporter -
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, (CMC) – Russell Latapy is expected to accept a new coaching role in the development of the sport in Trinidad & Tobago.
Official sources have indicated that Latapy is likely to either understudy the new T&T men's national team coach, expected to be former Portugal and Real Madrid coach Carlos Queiroz, or take control of one of the national development sides. This decision follows a meeting last Friday between Latapy and senior officials of the T&T Football Federation, including Special Advisor Jack Warner and T&TFF President Oliver Camps.
Latapy's position of national coach came under review, following T&T's exit from the Digicel Caribbean Cup at the group stage of the Finals in Martinique late last year.
As a result, T&T have failed to qualify for the prestigious CONCACAF Gold Cup to be staged in the United States later this year.
Officials of the T&TFF have indicated that they would like the national team to start preparing as soon as possible for qualification for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, which begins next year.
Latapy served as national coach from January to December 2010, after he took over two years ago from Colombian Francisco Maturana midway through the final round of CONCACAF qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup.
As national coach, he had nine wins from 23 matches, with 11 defeats and three draws.

Join us for a conversation between artist Roey Victoria Heifetz and Yarden Stern, independent curator and PhD candidate in Performance Studies at NYU. Heifetz will speak about her new body of work, Third Body, recently presented at the Artist House Tel Aviv upon receiving the Ann and Ari Rosenblatt Prize for Visual Art in Israel in 2018. Third Body is a series of large scale drawings of Heifetz and a video installation created in collaboration with the filmmaker Zohar Melinek Ezra, that pose challenging questions about the "transgender body", and the body in general. Heifetz and Stern will discuss topics that emerge from the work, such as gender change, anxieties, old age, regret, femininity, motherhood, pain and fear – of herself and of society.
Roey Victoria Heifetz is an artist from Jerusalem who lives and works in Berlin. Heifetz has exhibited in numerous international group and solo exhibitions around the world, including solo exhibitions "The Teacher's Nap" at Künstlethaus Bethanien, Berlin; "Victoria" at The Israel Museum, Jerusalem; and "Third Body", the Ann and Ari Rosenblatt Prize winning exhibition, Tel Aviv. Heifetz has done residencies at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin; The Fountainhead Residency, Miami; and 18th Street Art Center, Los Angeles. Roey Victoria Heifetz is a grant and scholarship recipient from Lotto Stiftung, Berlin; Mifal Hapais Art Scholarship, Israel; Rudolf Augstein Stiftung, Germany; Künstlethaus Bethanien Artist Residency, Berlin; Artis, New York; Artist-Teacher Award, Culture Ministry, Government of Israel. Additionally, in 2018, Heifetz was awarded the Ann and Ari Rosenblatt Award for visual artists , and was nominated among the finalist for Marianne Werefkin Award for women artist. Heifetz studied at the Bezalel Academy for Arts and Design in Jerusalem (BFA, MFA) and at the School of the Museum of Fine Art in Boston, USA.
Yarden Stern is a PhD candidate at the department of Performance Studies at NYU and an independent curator. His work revolves around the politics of gender non-conformity and their intersection with discourses of nationalism. He focuses on performances of masculinity in Israel/Palestine and transgressive responses by local and diasporic subjects.

We have many teachers in our lives, and often the most influential (and most overlooked) are our parents.
He also just published a book (Shooting in the Wild: An Insider's Account of Making Movies in the Animal Kingdom) about the yogic principle of ahimsa (non-violence), though he doesn't use that word. He writes about how through the process of educating people on important environmental issues, we can unintentionally tread a path of abuse, harm, and unethical behavior. And of course, this is not unique to his industry of environmental filmmaking – many industries cause harm in the hopes of creating benefit (i.e. food industry, pharmaceutical industry).
1. Who are your greatest mentors on non-violence and why?
Gandhi because he was extraordinarily fearless in confronting violence with non-violence. And Congressman John Lewis because again he was incredibly brave when it come to facing down the vicious and violent tactics of the racist police departments in the segregated south.
2. What are 3 things people can do right now to minimize the harm we cause the environment?
Stop eating meat. Buy organic fruits and vegetables. Live modestly and without ostentation.
3. What are some of your daily habits and routines that help keep you focused on your goals and purpose?
I assiduously follow my Personal Mission Statement. I exercise daily for at least an hour, including standing on my hands for one or two minutes. I plan my day meticulously and always work on paper (not in my head). I never drink alcohol and like to live ascetically, simply, and with intentionality. My diet is vegetarian with lots of fruit and vegetables. I virtually never watch television. I love smiling, laughing, being funny, and greeting everyone I meet with great warmth.
4. What is the key to achieving happiness, success and fulfillment?
Devote your life to helping solve one of society's great problems (for example, environmental degradation, poverty, child abuse, and prejudice against women) so that your life has purpose, direction, and meaning.
5. What are some things you do to stay healthy while traveling?
I exercise daily when travelling (including swimming if the hotel has a pool), never waste time in the plane watching movies (instead I read), avoid any foods that might upset my stomach (including coffee), eat black or white bean soup whenever I can get it, stay closely connected with my wife and three daughters by phone and e-mail, and keep careful track of my commitments so I build a deep trust with my colleagues and friends.
My biggest fear is failing to achieve my goals as described in my Personal Mission Statement, and thereby dying with remorse, regrets, and disappointments.
7. If you could tell a room of 10,000 young adults one piece of advice, what would it be?
Work hard, avoid indolence and idleness, be both serene and ambitious, avoid duplicity at all costs, and devote your professional lives to a cause that will improve society and help others.
Wow! What a wonderful father you have. And what a profound mission statement. It is so inspiring! It makes me want to do one for myself. What a wonderful idea and way to remind ourselves what we aspire to in life. Do you have one as well?
What a lovely thing you gave each other with this interview. You are both very lucky. Congratulations.
JodiB and fivefootwo, thank you both so much for your nice comments!
I know, his mission statement is pretty inspiring! It's such a good way to remind ourselves of who we want to be and where we want to go.
I don't have one but it's something I plan to work on at some point. I guess in some ways I have a "mini" mission statement (1 page) that I keep in the back of my planner/organizer. When I feel off-track (which happens pretty often), I turn to it and try to refocus on my main goals and projects.
Are we feeding our own cancer cells?
"Take care of your body with steadfast fidelity"

NFL Injury Report: Giants Secondary Suffers More Setbacks

Share All sharing options for: NFL Injury Report: Giants Secondary Suffers More Setbacks
The New York Giants were shorthanded all over the field prior to Thursday night's 36-7 victory over the Carolina Panthers, and the undermanned secondary unit received a few more bumps and bruises in the contest.
Cornerback Corey Webster broke his right hand in the first half but expects to play in Week 4 at the Philadelphia Eagles, according to a report by Jenny Vrentas of The Star-Ledger.
Fellow corner Jayron Hosley picked off quarterback Cam Newton in the second quarter but left the game in the fourth after pulling a hamstring, according to the report, and safety Antrel Rolle was carted off the field after colliding with camera equipment on the sidelines. X-rays on Rolle were negative and head coach Tom Coughlin said in the article that he didn't believe the injury to be very serious.
Although the Giants were able to get secondary help in the form of Prince Amukamara, who played his first snaps of the season, and the return of linebacker Keith Rivers, they were without cornerback Michael Coe due to a lingering hamstring ailment.
Offensive tackle David Diehl didn't play in Thursday's action, joining Domenik Hixon, Hakeem Nicks and Ahmad Bradshaw as members of New York's offensive starters listed as out.

While the news outlets and magazines are still brimming with stories of the challenges women face in the modern business world, and there are still many questions of equality being debated, we have finally reached a time when female entrepreneurship is truly celebrated and empowered. If you are eager to join these feminine, powerful ranks, you can rest assured that you'll be welcomed by many wonderful, successful ladies, prepared to share their two cents in order to help your success flourish.
From many business women to another one: take these tips to heart when you decide it's time to start your own professional journey. It may be a growing, opportune environment, but it's still one riddled with setbacks and obstacles, waiting to be tackled by another courageous entrepreneur. Without further ado, let's take a look at the five key lessons you can use to fuel your entrepreneurial dream!
While you're still at the beginning of your journey, it may seem too far in the future to consider embracing the role of a teacher. However, the skills and knowledge you intend to turn into a business will inevitably grow and advance, and at a certain point, you will indeed have so much to offer to other women in the entrepreneurial world. On that note: always preserve and nurture your learning mindset. The same one that has given you the means to start your business today.
Use it to help others embrace their own potential. The skills you are about to obtain through starting your own company are invaluable, from the soft skills such as negotiation and crisis management, all the way to mastering a new language or, who knows, accounting! Whatever you learn and pick up along the way should become a part of your teaching mindset, as well. Opportunities to pass on what you know, to others waiting to follow in your footsteps, will come, and as much as they are wonderful for raising more awareness about your business, they are equally priceless for those who are eager to learn from you.
It's absolutely true that no new business can succeed without passion. If you're not madly in love with the art of baking, you'll soon find yourself miserable in a business of making cupcakes. However, sheer passion will not be enough to combat the many complex issues of running a business, from filing tax returns, hiring talented candidates, all the way to approaching your audience through marketing.
First and foremost, you need to choose a business model that you can manage successfully with your skills and know-how, as well as your love and persistence. Whether you're wondering how to start a cleaning business or run your own gym, you should start looking into various options, such as franchising an existing brand, or partnering up with someone equally passionate about your industry. Chances are, learning more about your opportunities and options will help you carve out a roadmap and discover the best way to move forward with your dream profession.
Being an entrepreneur in this day and age means you are the ruler of your own little professional kingdom and the owner of your time. The freedom that comes with entrepreneurship is truly invaluable. However, that doesn't mean that you need to take on every single task, from negotiating a client to setting your weekly schedule. This is where proper time management becomes essential so that you can retain any balance in life and build healthy relationships.
With today's resources, you can easily look for a virtual assistant to handle the non-essential segments of your day-to-day work. Then again, you can work with a creative soul to carve out a detailed marketing plan for your brand, or a bookkeeper to handle the invoices and other red tape. Asking for help and support when you need it is far from a sign of weakness – it takes maturity and it will better your ability to deliver excellent work for your clients instead of experiencing permanent burnout.
As a business woman, a brand, and a professional, it is up to you to define your values and your priorities in your life. What you believe in will shape your business, the people who choose to work with you, and your stance in society. Starting your own business takes moxie and determination, so don't be afraid to show your true face to the world – simply standing up for what you believe in will get you the reputation you deserve and more brand awareness.
As a woman in this community, you know best how difficult this journey can be. In order to inspire more women to follow your lead, be a role-model and an example. Use your business to empower others to follow their dreams and to do so wisely. This simple act of kindness and courage will make your job all the more rewarding, and only then will you start fully appreciating your impact in the world.
We may not live in a perfect society, but as you move forward with your business goals, you are one step closer to making it better. Use these bits of advice, and, with your entrepreneurial adventures, you will empower yourself and others to succeed!

Last week, I shared a bit of my dining experience while I was in Dublin. I am excited to continue the series with an unexpected find, quite close to my AirBnB place.
I was sad, though, that I only got to discover it during my last day in the city. Had I known about this place much earlier, I would probably have dined here every single day.
The service was not bad, and they also serve tap water, which is a blessing.
I was on my way to the airport an hour after my meal, and I needed all the energy I could muster to lug my suitcase heavy with so many books I bought while in the city. Here's my fairly heavy brunch.
I naturally ordered the Irish Breakfast Crepe (€9.95) consisting of bacon, black pudding, egg, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes.
A close up of just the meal without the book.
My coffee, which is sadly, not refillable, if I remember correctly.
Naturally, I had to order dessert! But of course. This is their homemade chocolate sauce and banana (€5.95). And it was heavenly.
Another photo without the book. If you want to know my thoughts about In The Woods by Tana French, here is my review. If you are in Dublin, make sure you go to this place. It is not unreasonably expensive, the food is divine, it is truly value for money, and one of the unpretentious, economical restaurants I've been to while I was there.


Local governments establish rules and zoning regulations in about how land in their jurisdiction can be used. Most people are aware that there are limits such as what can be built in a residential area versus what can be built in a commercial area. However, there are many other zoning factors you should consider before buying vacant land.
If you are buying a large parcel, and are thinking about sub-dividing and selling the lots individually for a profit, there are a few things you should know. There are additional rules that typically apply in these situations and we strongly suggest you work with the county closely and consult a land professional such as Fast Deal For My House before you purchase with the intent to divide the land. This is a strategy used by land investors who have a good grasp on the market, they can see the value in the individual lots before the area becomes developed.

It's been a good weekend for jackpot winners, with the latest big win coming on Playtech's Age of The Gods slot for a total of $771,603 (€630,750 or £559,988). This latest take down of an enormous jackpot follows yesterday's report of a huge $3.6m win on Microgaming's Mega Moolah.
The Ancient Greek-themed slot Age of Gods has a very active progressive jackpot, paying out $628,621 every 6-7 weeks. This makes it very popular amongst jackpot hunters who are keen to experience the thrill of hitting a massive jackpot.
The Age of Gods series were introduced to replace the Marvel series, which were removed after the license for the comic-themed slots was withdrawn by owners Disney. Fortunately for Playtech they used well built game engines for the Marvel series, which meant the re-skinning of the games to form slot titles like Age of The Gods Prince of Olympus and Age of The Gods – God of Storms was a big success. Players have warmed to the Age of The Gods series, which means the progressive jackpots grow very quickly.
The Age of The Gods slot has been reseeded at $100,000 and looks to grow very quickly. As well as the 'Ultimate Power' jackpot, which is the biggest one, it also has a Power Jackpot, Extra Power Jackpot and a Super Power Jackpot that payout on a daily and weekly basis.

How late night adjusted – and became weirder and more creative – after a pandemic year
"We've tried things that we're not sure are audience pleasers but are funny to us," says one late night show writer
By Melanie McFarland
Published March 28, 2021 12:00PM (EDT)

Kristen Bartlett vividly remembers early March of 2020, when "Full Frontal with Samantha Bee" became one the first topical variety shows to film without a studio audience. Back then nobody was sure how quickly the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 would spread, but cases were popping up in the city and across the country.
Then and quite suddenly, the situation switched from concerning to dire. "Our offices were one of the places in New York that had a cluster of COVID cases, which is crazy," the "Full Frontal" co-head writer said. The show's offices were ordered to be evacuated while they were in rewrites for that week's show, so they raced to shoot one final episode in-studio, grabbed all the equipment they could and headed home.
Rob Crabbe, an executive producer for "The Late Late Show with James Corden," remembers the tipping point being the NBA shutting down and a quiet, anxious text chain between the showrunners with various late night shows trying to figure out how their networks would respond.
In that nervous stretch of time, which coincided with a day of back-to-back tapings, he remembers appreciating what he describes as the "slight luxury in being the 12:30 show in Los Angeles," since the three-hour window between the West Coast and East Coast would give his production time to see how New York shows would react.
Initially he thought "Late Late" would simply stay on the air without an audience, as "Full Frontal" and other shows had done. "And then it all happened so immediately," Crabbe said. Corden, bandleader Reggie Watts and the rest of the crew got through that day knowing they wouldn't see an audience again for some time.
"I don't think we fully appreciated that we wouldn't be back together again for six months," he said.
In the earliest days of the pandemic, "The Late Late Show" came to viewers from a set-up in Corden's garage as that show and every other figured out how they would navigate the uncharted territory of live late night comedy without soundstages or sets.
One year later the COVID-19 pandemic still holds the world in its clutches, but CBS' "The Late Late Show" and TBS' "Full Frontal" have returned to their respective studios, as have NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" and "Late Night with Seth Meyers," and ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Their moods are lively but the hosts, correspondents and guest actors are playing to empty seats.
Meanwhile Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah" and Showtime's "Desus & Mero" went home and remain sheltered in place. Noah's series altered its title to embrace our collective lot – it's been "The Daily Social Distancing Show" since last spring.
Each program has settled into rhythms that are familiar to their viewers by now. Many follow the classic late night format. Opening with a welcome before diving into a monologue, barreling through gags before interviewing guests whether in person – six feet or more apart – or via video conference.
But the sensation that they're playing to empty theater seats, or none at all, is palpable. Prior to the pandemic we all took the live studio audience for granted. Now that they're gone, perhaps we have a new appreciation of the live crowd's role as a character in these shows. Circumstances forced that character to go on hiatus, changing the tenor of the late night and talk variety landscape.
"It is very different to tell a joke to a live audience than it is to tell a joke with no audience," said "Daily Show" supervising producer Zhubin Parang. "Telling jokes to an audience requires a different rhythm because you have to wait for laughter. It's slower paced. It's the difference between, like, theater and a movie."
This is not a fresh revelation, mind you. The call and response between performers and live audiences is comedy's fuel, driving hosts and writers alike. A live crowd's laughter bridges the distance between the studio production and viewers at home. Without that, nearly every show has transformed into a new creature – not a fundamentally disparate from what was but certainly changed.
Noah's writers met the challenge of a socially distant production by taking more risks than they might with an live audience looking on, explains "Daily Show" executive producer and showrunner Jen Flanz. "Trevor will ad-lib a bunch more and try things, because it's just us watching him on Zoom at a shoot, and then it's us in our edit. It's such a controlled environment, whereas when you're in front of the studio audience, you pretty much need to know which jokes are going to work."
"Full Frontal" co-head writer Mike Drucker echoes this, pointing out that the lack of an audience has given writers the opportunity to be a bit weirder. "We've tried things that we're not sure are audience pleasers but are funny to us," he said, "and we also cut back on things that might be like moments where the audience applauds. We try to just make it straight through now."
This explains the appearances of odd characters that made the leap from writers room in-jokes to broadcast, like Bee's fictional attraction to a mailman or a weird character Bartlett named "Very Pregnant Grandma."
"If it makes Sam laugh, and that's good enough for us," she said.
Other hosts and writers close the gap left by the audience's absence with satire. On "Late Night" Meyers speaks to the crowd as he always has except when he asks how they – we – are doing, he longer pauses for hooting and applause that isn't there. He slip and slides right past his hello and into the monologue with a "How-is-everybody-doing-tonight-that-is-great-to-hear-let's-get-to-the-news."
Quarantine-era "Conan" has kitted out Los Angeles' The Largo Theater with cut-outs of people as Conan O'Brien deadpans his way through each show on a lonesome stage with Andy Richter situated nearby.
Stephen Colbert and John Oliver, hosts of "The Late Show" and "Last Week Tonight," respectively, aren't even pretending to address empty rows. They're staring straight through the fourth wall and into our living rooms.
In contrast, the eponymous hosts of "Desus & Mero" mainly speak to each other, even back when they were in-studio. This made head writer and executive producer Mike Pielocik more worried that the move to remote would throw off the chemistry between hosts Desus Nice and The Kid Mero than he was concerned about losing the audience.
"We were all pleasantly surprised that it didn't; the dynamic between the guys didn't feel different at all," he said, partly crediting the fact that their studio audience has always been small relative to other shows.
"Our show has always had a weird relationship with the studio audience," he added. "We loved having them there, and I really miss that kind of feedback, and everything. But I don't think it was ever critical to our show's success or even like working really."
Pielocik quickly added that when "Desus & Mero" can have a live audience, they will. "It's not that they're gone forever. But it's been really funny to see how much of our show in particular works almost just as well without a live audience in the studio."
From a viewer's perspective the same might be said of "The Daily Social Distancing Show" and "Full Frontal." Each responded to the loss of their audiences by changing their shows' pacing, experimenting with format or taking more chances with their humor.
"Full Frontal" returned to the air on March 25, 2020 with a show filmed in Bee's woodsy backyard. In the months that followed the producers played with animated segments, invited on music guests and broke their usual format in ways they hadn't before.
Since "The Late Late Show" has returned to the studio in August – and the audience still has not – Crabbe said that the writing had to become much more conversational. "Our show was always a 360-degree show where we were always using the audience," he said. "But now our crew and our band are our audience. They're the ones there with James to give reactions."
Crabbe adds that this has changed the writing style to leave opportunities for James and Reggie to engage with the writers and the crew. "We're all in there, six feet apart, wearing masks, but engaged," he said. "And so it's really been a nice way to involve the crew, and they've leaned into it as well."
With vaccination drives haphazardly rolling out across the country we may be heading towards a time in the not-too-distant future when the public will be welcomed back into each show's theater. But among the writers interviewed here there's a sense that some aspects of these distanced productions will remain part of that new normal.
Crabbe, for instance, foresees "The Late Late Show" retaining the conversational tone it has developed over the past year: "I don't think we'll ever go back to doing the sort of traditional style of monologue, because we've kind of grown into this," he said.
Drucker and Bartlett predict "Full Frontal" will continue to embrace the flexibility the current version of the show has opened up for them. Pielocik foresees incorporating more adventurous animations into "Desus & Mero" and getting the hosts outdoors a lot more. Parang and Flanz believe we'll be seeing Noah continue his one-man show asides where he plays various characters within the same segment. It will require more editing on the back end, they said, but they don't want to lose that gag.
All agree that nothing can replace the satisfying uplift a live audience provides. "It's such a different energy, the upbeat feeling of in the studio of, 'We did it, the audience is happy, they're laughing.' You hear them on the way out and it's awesome . . . just feeling like you made something together."
Parang seconded that. "The audience is who we're doing this for."

Between Gavin Newsom, Jim Cooper & Nav Gil it's like we are living on Orwell's 'Animal Farm'
Government & Politics, Opinion, Regional News
http://www.elkgrovenews.net/2020/11/between-gavin-newsom-jim-cooper-nav-gil.html
Geroge Orwell's best-known work is "1984," which told the tale of a dystopian government that thrived on propaganda and controlling people's lives. The events of this week involving California Governor Gavin Newsom, California Assemblymember Jim Cooper, and some of his colleagues, and Sacramento County Executive Nav Gill made it seem like we are living on a version of Orwell's other famous fable, "Animal Farm."
People following the news undoubtedly heard about Newson's trip to the fancy and high-priced French Laundry restaurant for a high-paid lobbyist's 50th birthday party. While Newsom has been urging the use of masks to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus and to limit gatherings, he did not wear a mask as he attended what has been described as a boisterous $350 a plate dinner party in direct defiance of his health dictates.
For Assemblymember Jim Cooper, he decided to leave the state and travel to Hawaii for a five-day junket at a luxury Maui resort. Cooper decided it was more important to travel out of state while thousands of his constituents in California's 9th Assembly District are diligently following protocols that include avoiding only essential out-of-state travel to lessen the risk of spreading the virus whose death toll in the United States is quickly approaching 250,000 souls.
For Gil, his transgressions - as it relates to COVID-19 include holding staff meetings without proper PPE and, on top of that, demeaning behavior toward women in the workplace. Oh, and let's not forget Gill's shenanigans with using federal COVID-19 funds to pay sheriff department salaries and not the intended purpose of addressing the health effects of the pandemic.
Which brings us to Orwell's "Animal Farm" - a tale of an uprising of the animals on the Manor Farm against the tyrannical, incompetent master. In their fight to control their destiny, the rebels follow the creed, "all animals are equal."
Eventually, one group of the animals, the pigs, came to lead the rest of the animals, made alliances with other human farm owners, and set their own rules that put them at a significant advantage over the other creatures on the farm. Over time, the "all aminals are equal" eroded bit by bit until it eventually became "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
The hypocritical action displayed by these three men - two elected and one appointed - show a cavalier attitude toward those who pay their salaries and they are supposed to represent. The actions and behaviors of these three men are reprehensible and should not be forgotten.
The more significant damage of these actions, especially from Newson and Cooper and his fellow legislators, are they effectively give credence to many people who have eschewed scientific evidence and refuse to wear masks and follow COVID-19 health protocols like not traveling out of state for pleasure and not having large gatherings. Now these non-mask users and party-goers can almost rightfully say if Newsom and Cooper don't follow the rules, why should we?
To paraphrase the saying on "Animal Farm" as it relates to following COVID-19 advisories and the different set of rules for regular folk and powerful people is "all people must comply with the rules, but the exclusives don't have to."

It appears, by the allegations, that Nav Gill and his wife, former Elk Grove City Manager, Laura Gill, have the same management style. City staff, getting no help from within in filing allegations of a hostile work environment, had to reach out for help to the community members, as reported on Elk Grove News (the only Elk Grove media outlet to do so).
After pressure to do so from the community, the Elk Grove City Council investigated a hostile work environment. As reported by then Mayor Pat Hume, changes were made.
If you have ever worked in a hostile work environment, you can relate to how debilitating it can be. No one should work in fear and especially not on the taxpayers' money.


A lot has marked the world of travel and tourism this year. President Donald trump Travel ban particularly made headlines. Four African countries were affected: Libya, Sudan, Somalia and Chad.
Sudan's ban was lifted then Chad was added to the list. This move steered mixed reactions on the continent. Well, it's not all gloom and doom, quite a number of positive things happened in Africa.
One of them is the Eritrean city, the first to be classed as a UNESCO heritage site.
The city in question is Asmara, the capital of Eritrea, the country has long been associated with repression but in July this year it acquired a more positive image by becoming the world's first modernist city designated in its entirety as a Unesco World Heritage site.
The Eritrean city of 800,000 people became an artistic playground in the 1930s for Italian futurists who were able to play out their architectural fantasies in the Italian colony in the Horn of Africa.
Construction of the airport started in 2007. that means it took a decade to complete the project.
The cost of the project is put at $600m. It was started by a Saudi firm but later completed by a Turkish company after a dispute with the Saudis.
It is located in the town of Diass, some 29 miles from the Senegalese capital of Dakar. It has a capacity for three million passengers per year as compared to the current travel traffic of 1.9 million passengers per annum.
The Blaise Diagne International Airport is named after the first African to be elected a lawmaker in France, as far back as 1914.
Within the past one year , there have been some positive changes in travel as one third of African countries loosened their visa policies. 13 countries now offer electronic visas, up from 9 last year.
Ghana made the most progress: In 2016 the government announced that it would provide visas on arrival for citizens of every AU member state, while offering entirely visa-free travel to 17 African countries, including the 14 other members of the Economic Community of West African States ECOWAS.
The top ten of the countries leading in visa openness are Seychelles , Uganda, Togo , Guinea Bissau, Cape Verde, Ghana, Mauritania, Mozambique, Mauritius and Rwanda. According to the AFDB index on visa openness, the least open countries in Africa are Cameroon,South ,Sudan,Gabon,Ethiopia,Eritrea,Sudan,Angola,Libya,Equatorial Guinea, and Western Sahara. With Western Sahara and Equatorial Guinea proving to be the most difficult, requiring visas from all member countries on the continent.
Kenya's capital Nairobi was named king of domestic air travel in Africa. Travel data company Forward Keys revealed that Nairobi's domestic air travel has recorded some significant growth this year.
It reported that Nairobi is the only major African city where domestic air travel is outpacing international traffic as long-haul international flights to Nairobi grew by 8%.
The growth in Kenya's domestic air travel has been facilitated by a number of factors, like the improvement of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
After a fire gutted the international arrivals terminal in 2013, a multimillion dollar expansion plan was set in place expected to boost its capacity threefold from 2.5 million to 7.5 million passengers annually.
Morocco earlier tested Africa's first high-speed railway with trains reaching 320 kilometres per hour that's about 200 miles stretch. Morocco's TGV, which gets its name from the French abbreviation for high-speed trains, is set to enter service in mid 2018.
One train reached 275 kilometers per hour on Monday along a track between the northern cities of Kenitra and Tangiers.


Brian Cute, CEO of Public Interest Registry, assumed this leadership position in 2011, bringing to the role more than 13 years of experience in the Internet and communications industry. As CEO, Brian oversees an $80M nonprofit organisation whose employees are devoted to providing people and organisations around the world with an online identity – through management of the .org and .ngo domains – and by supporting efforts to ensure the internet remains a resource for all. To help nonprofits and nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) communicate their stories to donors, Brian travels globally to meet with NGOs to understand how Public Interest Registry can support them in terms of technology infrastructure and online communications strategy.

Q: Function which returns a symbolic jump between two ordinates, e.g. $[f(a,b,c)]^+_- = f(a^+,b^+,c^+)-f(a^-,b^-,c^-)$ I want to create a function in Mathematica which accomplishes the following:
$$[f(a,b,c)]^+_- = f(a^+,b^+,c^+)-f(a^-,b^-,c^-)$$
where $f$ is any function (has 3 arguments above but this need not be the case) and $a,b,c$ are arguments (though there may be more). I am dealing with some boundary conditions across interfaces which require me to evaluate "jumps" in discontinuous quantities.
What I would like to do is something that accomplishes the following, returning symbolic variables which can be used later:

*

*$[\mu]^+_-=\mu^+-\mu^-$

*$\left[\frac{1}{\mu}\right]^+_-=\frac{1}{\mu^+}-\frac{1}{\mu_-}$

*$\left[\frac{ab^2}{\sqrt{c}}\right]^+_-=\frac{a^+{b^+}^2}{\sqrt{c^+}}-\frac{a^-{b^-}^2}{\sqrt{c^-}}$
I want to be able to input any expression inside the brackets (although in this case the expression will be called as an argument to a function) and this expression needs to have an arbitrary number of variables. It would also be highly desirable this could be done entry-wise to a vector whose entries are expressions (themselves each of an arbitrary number of variables).
A bit of research tells me that the Map function might do what I want, but I'm not yet skilled enough in Mathematica to implement it properly. Could somebody point me into the right direction?

I have found something which does what I want but I am having trouble converting it into a function. Think of the subscript $v^+$ and $l$ as taking place of the $+$ and $-$ as above.

Two more things I want to accomplish:

*

*How can I write this as a function which takes any algebraic expression and returns an analogous result?

*How can I make sure that it is the variable that is subscripted rather than the expression in each case (e.g. I want $\frac{1}{\sqrt{c_{v^+}}}$ not $\frac{1}{\sqrt{c}}_{v^+}$).

A: Does this do what you want?  Are you looking for additional formatting of input or output?
Attributes[jump] = HoldFirst;
jump[fn_[args__]] := fn[args] - fn @@ -{args}

jump[f[a, b, c]]

-f[-a, -b, -c] + f[a, b, c]

Following your update please try this and report its utility.  Parameters f and g can be changed to whatever symbol modifier you please.
ClearAll[jump]
jump[f_, g_][expr_] :=
 Subtract @@ (expr /. {{v : # :> f@v}, {v : # :> g@v}}) &[
  Alternatives @@ Variables[expr]]

jump[Subscript[#, v] &, Subscript[#, l] &][a b^2/Sqrt[c]]

Output as $LaTeX$:
$\frac{a_v b_v^2}{\sqrt{c_v}}-\frac{a_l b_l^2}{\sqrt{c_l}}$

A: Interpreting your $a^+$ and $a^-$ as limits from above and below, (and in one dimension), this function takes the limit from above and from below and then takes the difference:
jump[q_, x_, val_] := Limit[q[x], x -> val, Direction -> "FromAbove"] -
                      Limit[q[x], x -> val, Direction -> "FromBelow"]

So for example, say we have a discontinuous function:
q[x_] := Piecewise[{{x^2, x < 0}, {x + 1, x > 0}}];
Plot[q[x], {x, -2, 2}]

Then we can evaluate at points of continuity and get zero, or evaluate at points of discontinuity, and get the size of the jump:
{jump[q, x, -1], jump[q, x, 0], jump[q, x, 1]}
{0, 1, 0}

A: I've found a solution which does what I want.
VLJump [expr_] :=
 ReplaceAll[expr,
   Map[# -> Subscript[#, SuperPlus[v]] &, Variables[expr]]] -
  ReplaceAll[expr, Map[# -> Subscript[#, l] &, Variables[expr]]]

Additional Quotes: USA U19 Women 89, Argentina 39
Vidnoje, Russia
USA U19 head coach Dawn Staley (South Carolina)
Were you pleased with the way the USA team set the tone early against Argentina?
I was really pleased. Any time we've asked this team to make some type of adjustment or correct some things, they've done a tremendous job at doing just that.
Our starters got us off to a great start on both sides of the ball and then there was a trickle-down effect when people came into the game, with the next group keeping up that energy.
What were you working on during the game?
As we continue to move through the tournament, the competition is going to get a lot stiffer, and we have one more day to prep. Once we got out to a big lead, we wanted to work on some things that we need to fine tune, like our three-quarter court press, our two-three zone, just in case we need to fall back on a different adjustment throughout the tournament. I thought we did a really good job at being aggressive and seeing different people in different positions in our press.
On the USA's guard play:
Tonight was a prime example of us continuing to get better on both sides of the ball. Our ability to share the basketball, make the extra pass, something that we expressed to our team a game or two ago, we finally saw them move the ball and get players easier shots out there on the floor. Anytime we are open and taking practice shots, we are pretty accurate with it. We have a little difficulty when we try to make things happen and force things to happen. But, tonight was a night in which we shared the ball, and that's why we had five or six players in double figures. That's indicative of our ball movement. We had 24 assists, and I think that was the largest amount of assists that we've had all tournament long. It's a good place for us to be, going into the most crucial part of the tournament.
On playing Canada in the quarterfinals:
First and foremost, we have to get our players to realize that we're not going to skate through this tournament. We're going to be challenged somewhere down the line. So, we can't led our guard down. We have to make sure that we're focused. We've done a tremendous job of putting things in place for our team to be successful. Whether that's (imposing a) curfew, whether that's taking their phones (at night), making sure they get their rest and they're hydrated. That's first and foremost. Then you have to turn the page and look at how Canada has gotten better and better since the first time we played them in Spain. They're going to play 40 minutes of hard-nosed, tough basketball. For us, we have to continue to do what we've done throughout the tournament and that's use our bigs, keep sharing the basketball and our three-quarter court press has been tremendous for us. Hopefully we can continue to fine tune that, disrupt on both sides of the ball, and do what we do best, which is sharing the basketball and get the ball to our bigs.
Kristine Anigwe (Desert Vista H.S./Phoenix, Ariz.)
On tonight's game:
We were playing inside, and I felt that the starters came out and pushed the pace of the game. We just started building onto that.
Do you see your team improving every game?
Yes. I feel that as we go on, our chemistry really builds, and we start to get comfortable around each other and know how to pass the ball to each other, and know where everyone wants to get the ball.
What are this team's strengths?
Our inside game. When we kick it out and our shooters are making all their shots and being consistent, I feel like that's when we really start to get in the groove. Then when our defense flows into our offense, that's when we really start picking up speed.
They go hard. They're not going to take us easy. They're going to go hard in the paint. They're going to double, maybe triple A'ja (Wilson) and Z (Azurá Stevens). They're going to work hard to try to make us play on their pace.
How fun is it playing with this group of players?
It's really fun. I really enjoy playing with them, learning with them. They're making me a better player and I'm so grateful for being on this team.
Chatrice White (Illinois/Shelby, Neb.)
Was there something the team was working on today once you pulled away?
In the games where we are winning by a lot, coach says that these are the best types of practices for us. We really worked on some more of our presses and into our two-three zone, so we can match-up against different teams, give them a different look. We just wanted to work on our game, making the extra pass, finding the best shot, not necessarily the best shot for ourselves, but the best shot for our team.
After a few slow starts, was the team focused on getting off to a strong start to today's game?
Yeah, we talked about it. Obviously we didn't come out with that great of intensity at the very start of the game. Sometimes that happens, but we picked it up later and took off.
On the play of the USA's guards:
When the guards are knocking down shots, it makes it so much easier for us to post up inside and gives us more looks. Because their players aren't sagging down inside, and when they are, we can kick it back out to our guards. It's a really good inside-out action. We have really good guards.
On facing Canada and her future University of Illinois teammate Jaylyne Kirkpatrick in the quarterfinals:
Their point guard, Jaylyne Kirkpatrick, is actually coming to Illinois next year, so she and I have a little bit of a rivalry going over this game on Friday. I'm really excited to play them again. I think they're really going to step it up a lot from the last time we played them (in Spain on July 13). North American rivalry, it's going to be interesting, but we're ready for them.
Do you two have a friendly wager going?
Oh, no, nothing like that. No, it's just bragging rights. I really don't want to hear her talking about it the rest of the season!
A'ja Wilson (South Carolina/Hopkins, S.C.)
What was the team's game plan today?
It was to mainly focus on us and understand that we are going for something big. Now we're in the part of the tournament where we can't lose. We're going for a medal and our biggest thing was trying to get a better start. We didn't do as good a job of that as we wanted, but I see that we are improving. Offensively, it's something we need on this team. So, for us to score quickly will be great and help us move forward to better start.
Today our focus was really on starting off better and I think we did a pretty good job on that. We did a very, very good job, the job that coach Staley wanted us to get done. We're going to have to focus on that for these upcoming games.
How much does playing seven games in nine days factor into this team's game plan?
That plays a huge factor. I think that's something that I'm very glad that we have -- our depth. Any time you can sit the starters down and a second group can go in and sometimes even a third wave can go in and you don't skip a beat, that's something very special. I think we're the only team in the tournament that really has that depth and we use it to our advantage very well. The other group coming in behind the starters really get it done for us.
I think it's going to be a good match-up. I'm not going to look at how we played against them in the tournament in Spain (on July 13). I think they're going to be coming out to play. We both know that this game determines whether you play for a medal and anytime you play any team that's going into (the medal round), they're going to have a different mind-set that they have to give 100 percent.
Teams already play us harder because we're the USA. We always get their best. So, we have to play even harder. They're going to come out and give it their all and I know that we're going to come out and give it our all, so it should be a good game. It's interesting, because Canada's the kind of team that plays a similar style of basketball as we do, so it's going to be a good match-up for us.

Term:spoof
To spoof something is to falsify or otherwise fake information.
The most common use of the term of late is with respect to email. Specifically, the sender of an email – the information that appears in the "From:" line – is easily (and therefore frequently) falsified by spammers. This is known as "From: spoofing".
As a result, an email's "From:" line can be:
Correct: the email is from the source indicated
Intentionally misleading: in an attempt to fool the recipient into opening the email or acting on its contents, the "From:" line may be spoofed to make it appear that the email came from a contact or other trusted source, when in fact it did not.
Intentionally random: in an attempt to hide the true source of the email, the "From:" line may indicate a random source that, in fact, had nothing to do with the email.
Spoofing is, of course, not limited to email, or email "From:" information. Various aspects of almost any information can be spoofed for various reasons and with varying degrees of success.
spoof (Wikipedia)
Look up spoof in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Spoof, spoofs, spoofer, or spoofing may refer to:
Forgery of goods or documents
Semen, in Australian slang
Spoof (game), a guessing game
Spoofing (finance), a disruptive algorithmic-trading tactic designed to manipulate markets
