Manchester City v Arsenal: Three players to watch out for
Manchester City welcome Arsenal to the Etihad Stadium in what would be the first Premier League game in more than two months due to COVID-19 pandemic. The Citizens, who are on the verge of qualifying for next season's Champions League competition, battle Arsenal who are struggling to qualify for Europa League competition as they sit in the ninth position.
It won't be out of place to predict an outright win for the Manchester club if both teams' form before the Coronavirus-enforced break is to be considered. However, this is football where anything is possible. As the Gunners faithful continue to hope that Mikel Arteta's side will record a surprise result against Manchester City, we make a quick rundown of three unlikely players who could help the team do the unthinkable.
1. Nicholas Pepe
Are you surprised to see his name in my list? You don't have to be shocked. The Ivory Coast international is obviously a good player who can easily score goals, but that hasn't been happening since he joined the team last summer.
Pepe has had too many underwhelming displays this season, especially against big teams, and it would be a huge surprise if his goal against Guardiola's men end up being the difference between both teams. He is no doubt one player who could win many matches for Arteta's men, but just like many other Arsenal fans – would be surprised to see him do that in this encounter.
2. Granit Xhaka
Granit Xhaka is another player who could surprisingly help the Gunners overcome City's pressure come July 17. Though the Swiss midfielder is yet to find the back of the net this campaign, his revitalization under Arteta has been wonderful. He could break his personal deadlock against City's goalkeeper Ederson in the much-anticipated encounter.
3. David Luiz
The last time David Luiz scored a goal was over eight months when he found the back of the net against Crystal Palace in a game that ended 2-2. The Brazilian is known for scoring from set-pieces and he could do the same for the Gunners at the Etihad Stadium.
Meanwhile, his contract saga might likely affect his performance on the pitch as he is heavily linked with a move out of the club this summer. This is why he makes my list of unlikely players whose goals might help Arteta record first victory over his former boss.

"…king of assists is back" – Some Arsenal fans react to Mesut Ozil and Saka's performance against Hammers
It was a tough London derby at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon as the Gunners battled West Ham United to the very end of the match. Mikel Arteta's men weren't very lively in the opening minutes of the encounter as they almost concede a quick goal in the opening two minutes of the game.
West Ham's Jarrod Bowen struck the woodwork in the early stages before Michail Antonio also wasted a glorious opportunity to break the deadlock.
However, the home side grew into the game and they piled much pressure on their visitors but it remained goalless throughout the first 45 minutes of the game.
The second half saw a better display from Arsenal who needed maximum points to boost their Champions League's qualifying hopes for the next season.
Nketiah, Sokratis and Granit Xhaka all have their chances to put the Gunners ahead but the ball couldn't find its way into Fabianski's net.
The Hammers also have some chances of their own at the other end of the pitch and one of them was Antonio's well-struck header that was saved by Bernd Leno's mighty hands.
After 78 minutes of actions and some controversies, the host eventually broke the deadlock via second-half substitute Alexandre Lacazette who replaced Eddie Nketiah.
The Frenchman converted from close range after a lovely pass from Mesut Ozil. The goal was initially ruled out for offside by the match officials, but the decision was turned down by VAR after a lengthy check.
With the result, Arsenal now occupy the 9th position on the League table with 40 points. They are five points behind fourth-place Chelsea who play host to Everton at the Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon, and they have a game at hand.
At full-time, some Arsenal fans took to social media networking site Twitter to express delight with Ozil and Saka's performance against Hammers. While there are some who believed Saka is very good, others cannot stop admitting the Premier League's "king of assists" is back.
Below are some of the best selected tweets:

I don't understand why I'm seeing Lacazette slander on my timeline. He came on after being dropped, played with intensity and purpose, set up Ozil with a ball before converting his only chance.

Burnley v Arsenal – Match preview, insights and predictions
Hello folks, I hope you lads and lasses are all up for another Sunday night action pack performances happening at the Turf Moor against Burnley?
Arsenal's business this transfer is arguably one of the best since a while. Taking over the reins of the club from his predecessor, Mikel Arteta seems to be on the right track as Arsenal manager in the long-run.
The signing of Pablo Mari and Cedric Soares to Arsenal on loan is one of the club's best winter windows business well done in recent memory with the potential option to buy, and also, they've loaned out six youngsters, including Emile Smith Rowe, Konstantinos Mavropanos and Tyreece John-Jules.
Considering how the winter transfer business at the club have panned out in the past, it can be said that the entire just concluded window is zero risks and incredibly high reward for the club at stake. That being said, Mikel Arteta's reign as the Gunners head-coach continues with a trip to Turf Moor this weekend as we take on Sean Dyche's Burnley, and the Spaniard looking to build on a mixed start since taking over at the Emirates last month.
Here are five insights you need to know about Sunday's clash…
The Clarets have lost their 11 matches against Arsenal in all outings, a poor run for Burnley dating as far back as 2010.We have won our last 10 Premier League games against Burnley with our last 11 wins in a row against an opponent in the Premier League between 1994 and 2004 against Manchester City.
Funny and odd as it sounds, the Clarets haven't led Arsenal for a single minute in 11 Premier League. And according to stats, the only team to have played more games against an opponent without ever leading is Championship side Portsmouth against Chelsea with a record of 14 Premier League games between these two sides.
Arsenal is favourites for three clear points heading into this fixture with none of Burnley's last 17 Premier League outings ending in a draw with any team. Sean Dyche's men have won seven and lost 10 league matches. However, the Lancashire side has won two matches in a row on three separate occasions in that, but they are yet to record three in a row win in the league since April 2019.
At the moment, we are unbeaten in our last six Premier League away games – winning one and drawn five matches. And should the odds be in our favour on Sunday night, we could hit a goldmine as the club has not drawn five consecutive away league games since August 1948.
Predicted Line ups:
Burnley Predicted Line ups: Pope; Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Hendrick, Westwood, Cork, McNeil; Rodriguez, Wood
Arsenal Predicted Line ups: Leno; Bellerin, Luiz, Holding, Saka; Torreira, Xhaka, Ozil; Pepe, Aubameyang, Lacazette
Who is the referee for the day?
Chris Kavanagh.
What time is kick-off?
14:00 BST.
Betting ddds?

Arsenal v Swansea- The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
A typical Jekyll and Hyde performance for the Arsenal resulting in a 2-2 draw away to Swansea and the prospect of a replay at the Emirates. After falling behind we managed to get the lead heading into the final minutes of normal time before Swansea managed to level things up. Lets get into the game.
We looked very good going forward in the second half. The passing was quite crisp and the movement from the front 3 was good. Poldi scored a very well taken goal after he came on for Rambo.
A really good performance from Gibbo going forward which was rewarded with a cracking volley after a 1-2 with Giroud put him in. reminiscent of Poldi's goal in the Champions League.
The effort of Jack Wilshere in the middle of the park was really good to see. The young lad really does get through an awful lot of work and seems to cover an unreal amount of distance. I'd love to see the stats in comparison to the other midfielders in the Premiership.
Szcz looked good in goal and dealt well with everything that was asked of him. Couldn't fault him for either goal in my opinion.
Sagna was poor for me today. He has looked slightly out of sorts in recent weeks and I wonder if Jenks would have played today had he been available for selection.
The entire first half was very uninspiring. The malaise that was present in the Southampton performance seemed to have carried over into todays game for the first 45 minutes.
Cazorla was MIA for much of the game. As against Southampton he didn't seem to be featuring very much as an attacking creative force. Most of his play seemed to be in the middle of the park with Arteta. Hasn't been at his best for the past month bar the Newcastle game.
Arsene Wenger – I thought the selection of the team to begin with was poor. I have time for Aaron Ramsey and thought he played quite decent today but he is never going to be a left winger. Surely we could have shifted Santi out with and played Rosicky from the start. We didn't see the Ox at any time today and the first substitution didn't happen until the 71st minute despite being the goal down.
Our defending is an insult to the most basic of Sunday league teams at times. Merte was too easily beaten by Michu(who else!!) for the first and Kozza was too far out of position to cover for him. The second came about from a set piece of course and our failure to clear the ball let Danny Graham finish at the back post.
The two goals apart, Swansea created numerous chances and just seemed to have far too much time on the ball. Surely the pressing game we saw deployed so effectively at times last season should be used against the Swans, it always seems to work for other teams against us.
The draw for the fourth round was made after the game and we have been drawn away to Brighton should we get through. Much like our Bradford quarter this a game we should win on paper. Lets manage to get past the Welsh club and have a real go at the FA Cup this season.
Come On You Gunners!!!

Arsenal v City Postmortem- Mertesacker to leave(according to the mirror)
Are we all happy with yesterday?
The Boss sprung a surprise with his team selection, deciding to play Yoshi perhaps to counter the effect of Mario playing up front for Citeh. We dominated the game from start to finish, the only disappointing aspect of the game was the fact we didn't score more goals. Vermaelen decided he didn't want RVP to score so cleared off the Citeh line with his back. In the second half he thought he would miss from 3 yards before watching in disbelief as Yoshi managed to miss from 3 millimeters.Van Persie hit the post with a header to continue his goal scoring drought(not exactly Torres is he, fucking media) and Walcott also managed to draw a top class save from Hart.
After watching everybody contrive to not score Mikel and his G.I Joe hair decided he had seen enough. In the 87th minute he robbed Pizarro of the ball in midfield before striding on and smashing one in from 25 yards. It was no more than he and the rest of the team deserved for their efforts.
Now for Mario. For those who havent seen the tackle here is a snapshot from the Mail Website. The man is a walking lunatic. After trying to break Song's kneecap he then proceeded to try his best to kick Bacary for the rest of game. He finally got his marching order in the last few minutes of the game for a second bookable offence. Whether the FA further punish him remains to be seen but severe fines need to handed out for these kinds of tackles.
I don't tend to like to discuss transfer gossip (at least not until we are certain it's no longer gossip) but I had to talk about this piece courtesy of the Mirror Online. Apparently we are all set to sell our £10 million pound BFG according to a 'report'. We are all used to various anonymous sources proclaiming this and that about transfers involving our club but this is just lazy. I could type something here about us signing Neymar & Gotze but it doesn't make it printable as a reliable report in a newspaper. At least put a bit of effort into the piece before publishing.
Finally its good to see the reason for Na$ri's move has come to fruition, Citeh now stand on the verge of Prem glory, oh wait they don't. He will win the same amount of trophies at the other shower as Arsenal. At least he has his true love to console him, shedloads of Sheikh cash. Petite Pute indeed.
Late Update – The Spuds have lost today, we now play 3 league games before the next so we have an excellent chance to cement third place

Arsenal 3 – Villa 0: our winning form continues…
Arsenal secured a seventh consecutive victory yesterday with a 3-0 result against Aston Villa, and by doing so gained a three point cushion over fourth place Sp**s who were unable to score against the nouveau riche Chavs at the Bridge. It was a scoreline predicted by Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player just before kick off, and it turned out that his optimism was fully justified. Koscielny was unable to start having woken up on Saturday morning with a knee problem and he was replaced by Johan Djourou, who found himself at the receiving end of a non-malicious elbow from Emile Heskey moments after the game kicked off.
Thereafter Arsenal started to apply the pressure, and the first half was characterised by the sort of focus and urgency displayed by the team in the first twenty minutes against Everton in mid-week. Gervinho started in place of Ramsey and put in a very good performance, supporting Kieran Gibbs and tracking back to defend effectively whenever the left back made forward runs. It was such forward movement from Gibbs that brought him his first Premier League goal, as he surged between statuesque Villa defenders and fired off a shot from close range. It was an effort that Given should probably have stopped, but Gibbs couldn't have cared less.
Arsenal's second was tucked away expertly by Walcott, who showed superb control after Alex Song's magnificent lofted pass picked him out behind the Villa defence. A powerful effort by Arteta from twenty yards might have put us up by three, and RVP was unlucky to have a close range chance denied by an excellent instinctive goalline header by Warnock.
Villa offered very little in reply; Albrighton looked to counter attack on a couple of occasions but was unable to keep a cool head when it mattered. Emile Heskey confined himself to giving Djourou a hard time, harassing him at every opportunity, which proved ultimately fruitless.
The second half saw us apply some of Arsene's infamous handbrake. Concentration levels dropped and possession was conceded by a few soft passes and an annoying tendency to over-elaborate. Such were Villa's limitations, however, that they failed to punish us. Heskey was replaced by Weimann, and the energetic young Austrian proved tricky in and around our penalty area. When Villa did work the ball into dangerous positions, however, no-one was able to get into position to make the seize the opportunity and in the main we defended with focus and efficiency.
The Ox came on for Walcott on the right hand side and demonstrated his searing pace by absolutely skinning the opposition defence with a couple of runs. Ramsey replaced Gervinho and got into shooting positions around the edge of their area, and Andre Santos returned to first team action, only to give the ball away with his first touch – if Villa had been clinical in attack they would have punished us immediately.
Stephen Ireland should have counted himself very lucky to have remained on the pitch – a two footed lunge at Song should have resulted in a straight red, and if referee Dowd had seen it from a different angle he may have acted appropriately. Only a few minutes later, Ireland tripped Rosicky (if I remember correctly) outside the Villa box, and if Dowd had already cautioned him, it would have earned him a yellow. But he's an odd performer, Ireland, capable of rank stupidity and at other times great skill, and he then went on to make a superb tackle on the Ox in his own penalty area which drew loud appeals for a penalty, which Phil Dowd wisely ignored.
The final significant act of the game came in injury time, following a foul on Song about 25 yards out. Arteta lined up the free kick, and just to confound the expectations of all those Twittering Gooners who were bemoaning his previous effort, he smashed a perfect strike past Given into the corner of the net. It was a superb strike, but it almost seemed too good for the match situation, two goals to the good in injury time against limited opponents; it would have been sweeter if it had been a match winner against Stoke or City, but I'm being churlish. Arteta certainly deserved the goal, and the scoreline was a fair reflection of the game.
We're off to Loftus Road next weekend, while Sp**s face Swansea at the Lane. On their current form, Twitcher's side might find that fixture a real struggle. We should be looking at another three points against Rangers, but as they showed against Liverpool the other night, we cannot afford to take anything for granted. We were greatly superior to Villa yesterday, but a more dangerous opponent might have taken advantage of our lack of focus and intensity in the second half.
In the meantime, however, I'm off to enjoy that free kick again…enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Arsenal 0 – Liverpool 2: Frimpong's red mist
The opening home fixture of the new season ended in defeat as a ten-man Arsenal side failed to hold out and conceded two late goals. The result did nothing to reassure those Arsenal fans who are convinced that the manager has long passed his 'best by' date. The manager's position has not been helped by an injury to Koscielny, who had to be helped off in the first half with a back spasm. Ignasi Miquel – who is still listed on the club website as a reserve team player – came on to replace him and make his first team debut. He did pretty well even though it was his attempted clearance that cannoned off Ramsey's chest for the OG.
Given the number of injuries that are depleting the team at the moment, and the loss of a certain spaniard who shall remain nameless, the team played reasonably well for a lot of the game. Frimpong, another Premier League debutant, had a very good first half, but he got himself 'needlessly' booked and this turned out to be critical in the second half (when does anyone 'need' to incur a booking?). Unusually, our opponents shaded possession for the first half, and as against Newcastle last week, we failed to make the most of the possession we had. Nasri started the game and behaved professionally; there was no significant negative reaction to his appearance and he played reasonably well. But neither he, Ramsey or Arshavin seemed able to take control and provide a useful supply to van Persie. Arshavin in particular continues to disappoint – he seems to play with his head down for much of the time, and finds himself crowded off the ball. I felt he might have stayed wide on the left and targeted Liverpool's inexperienced full-back Kelly, but that didn't seem to be part of the game plan.
Liverpool started with Andy 'Porn Star' Carroll up front, and although Szczesny was forced to make one very good save from a header, he didn't trouble our defence as much as he or his manager would have expected. However, once Frimpong was sent off for a dangerous tackle with twenty minutes remaining, Dalglish swapped Carroll for Suarez. Not long after that the scousers went in front from an unlucky Ramsey own goal (Suarez had clearly been offside). We were unable to respond and Suarez made it 0-2 on 90 minutes.
Frimpong will be a disappointed man this morning and rightly so. He played well, and showed no sign of nervousness despite having less than half an hour of first team football under his belt. His inexperience got him sent off and he'll have to learn to pick his battles more intelligently. It's all very well wanting to fight for your place and give everything on the pitch, but you can't do that when you're sat behind the substitutes in your civvies. Now he faces suspension and we are left with even fewer options in midfield.
There is even more pressure on AW to make some signings, but the clock is ticking. The performance of the team has been disappointing but hardly surprising. The manager's frustration was readily apparent on the touchline yesterday, and the pressure is mounting upon him. I hope – for his and the team's sake – that we have some good news over the next few days. Will this be the month that defines our season? If we fail to get past Udinese on Wednesday it probably will be. If we do, events seem to be conspiring against us – so perhaps this is the season that defines AW's term in office.

Newcastle 0 – Arsenal 0: picking up where we left off?
As I'm sure you're aware, the season began today with a no-score draw at St James Park, an unsatisfying result from a game that appeared to follow a very familiar pattern. We dominated possession and passed the ball a great deal, but failed to create a lot of scoring opportunities. The opposition tried to keep their shape and close us down; when they did have possession they looked fairly impotent. It's going to be a long, long season for Toon supporters, but that's their problem.
There were some positives. Gervinho started and became the focus of much of our attacking play. He caused Newcastle problems on both flanks, and when he develops a better understanding with his teammates I should think he'll get plenty of assists. Of course the first thing he'll have to understand is that when he gets the ball into good wide positions he's going to have find Van Persie, because there's not likely to be many other attacking teammates in the box to aim at.
The downside – apart from our inability to score – was obviously Gervinho's red card. If there was any clearer demonstration why Joey Barton should not be an Arsenal player, this was it. Having reacted aggressively to Gervinho's fall in the Newcastle area (by picking him up off the deck by his shirt), he then dropped as if he'd been shot when Gervinho stupidly slapped his cheek, and told the ref he'd been punched. I'm not defending Gervinho – if you put your hand into another players' face you're likely to be dismissed. But Barton showed the football world once again why he fully deserves his reputation as a cunt and I do not understand why anyone would to see him in an Arsenal shirt. Song was lucky to stay on the pitch after he deliberately trod on Barton's ankle in the first half. Was this why Barton contrived to get Gervinho sent off in the second? I wouldn't be at all surprised. Anyhow, Gervinho gets an automatic ban for a straight red. Ironically Newcastle didn't look any more likely to score with the man advantage.
Defensively we looked pretty good, I felt – but as mentioned above, Newcastle didn't create and didn't really pressure us. But Chesney dealt with things pretty decisively – he didn't get flustered and looked confident. Vermaelen and Koscielny played well as the preferred options at centre-half. Frimmers made his debut as a late sub and was fine. Arshavin was, I felt, largely ineffective and gave away possession too often, though he did provide an excellent chip to put RvP through on goal. Rosicky was industrious without being incisive. Song was both solid and lucky, as mentioned above. RvP didn't get much to work with.
The other notable point from the game was the behaviour of the away fans. "Spend our fucking money" was the clear message from the travelling Gooners, and rightly so. AW is quoted on the club website as saying:
"Everybody looks for centre backs in the whole world…People with unlimited resources look for a centre back… We have specialised people to work everywhere but we are not in a supermarket where you go to a shelf and you ask where are the centre backs or the strikers."
These are not the sort of observations that are likely to appease those Gooners who are already deeply frustrated by the club's inability to address the weaknesses in our squad. He goes on to say:
"If a player is interesting the top clubs, he has a fantastic value. If there is no interest from these clubs he is £3-7million…The same player can be worth £30-50million and £3-7million. There is no logic in the market any more. In football it is very difficult to set the price for the players."
It sounds to me as though he is addressing the Cesc issue indirectly here, by attempting to justify to supporters why Fabregas is being sold to Barca for less than his market value. I believe he's also offering an explanation as to why he is seemingly unable to countenance buying a centre-half, being unable to match the valuations of the selling club/s. It's worth noting, perhaps, that Gary Cahill scored for Bolton today, which will certainly not do anything to weaken Bolton's bargaining position should Arsenal bid for him. Which we won't, I daresay.
Not to worry, it's only Udinese next in a crucial CL tie…

Different Trials, Different Results
How to Explain Them?
A Word to the Wise...
Different Types of Research Studies
To better understand news reports of medical findings, you need to learn about the different types of studies. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. Which type of study researchers will use depends on many factors.
Case Control Study — A type of observational study. Researchers identify a group with a particular disease or condition, then look at another group without the condition for comparison to figure out what differences between the two groups might be causing the disease.
Cohort Study — Another type of observational study. Researchers select participants based on their exposure status (to a particular pollutant, for example) and then try to find a similar group of people who haven't been exposed. They compare the two groups to see whether the factor in question is causing any health problems.
Intervention Study — In intervention studies, researchers decide who gets a particular treatment or exposure to something. The best-known type of intervention study, the randomized clinical trial, is considered the gold standard of clinical research studies. In randomized clinical trials, people are assigned to two or more study groups by chance (randomly). One of the groups, the control group, receives a preparation such as a pill that looks just like the treatment or drug being tested, but actually does nothing (called a placebo). Comparing treatment groups to control groups is the best way to see if a treatment is really effective.
News reports about medical studies can get confusing. Have you ever thought that something was supposed to be good for your health, but then suddenly heard it was bad for you? How in the world can medical studies come to such different conclusions about the same thing?
Dr. Julie Buring, an epidemiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, recently gave some insight when she spoke at a cancer research symposium at the National Institutes of Health. Her keynote address explained why there are often discrepancies between the two major types of medical studies you often hear about, observational studies and randomized trials.
To understand why these two types of research studies can come up with different answers, you first need to understand what they are. In observational studies, researchers simply observe people, grouping them according to whether or not they have chosen to take a particular drug, live a particular lifestyle, or have been exposed to something of interest. The researchers then compare these groups of people to see their subsequent risk of disease.
In contrast, exposures in intervention studies are controlled by investigators, who assign people to two or more study groups and then control what treatment or exposure to something of interest each group receives. The best-known type of intervention study is the randomized clinical trial, considered to be the gold standard of clinical research studies. (See the side box for more details.)
Dr. Buring gave some examples that have been widely reported in the news to illustrate how observational studies and randomized clinical trials can have different outcomes. One example involves the discovery of a surprising relationship between beta-carotene and heightened lung cancer risk.
"In animal laboratory studies," she explained, "beta-carotene could block the carcinogenic process and inhibit specific tumor growth." There was also, she said, a large body of evidence associating the consumption of fruits and vegetables with a lower risk of cancer. Many researchers believed that these pieces of evidence, taken together, showed that beta-carotene helped people ward off cancer.
But in randomized clinical trials, beta-carotene showed no benefit in preventing cancer and actually increased the risk of lung cancer among heavy smokers.
There are many possible explanations for this discrepancy, Dr. Buring said. People may have made an incorrect leap to one specific factor. It could have been something besides beta-carotene, or there might have been other nutrients in the diet that worked with beta-carotene to prevent cancer.
"Many people prefer taking a pill to changing their diet," Dr. Buring said. But those consuming high levels of beta-carotene in the observational studies had also been eating lots of fruits and vegetables, and were likely unique in other ways — eating more fiber, exercising more, and perhaps differing in other habits researchers haven't even thought of.
Maybe the clinical trial simply lasted for too short a time to see an effect, Dr. Buring offered as another explanation. Or it might have been that the actual blood levels of beta-carotene in the clinical trial patients differed significantly from those in the observational studies.
As for the smokers, researchers have since been able to explain why their risk of lung cancer increased. It turns out that, when combined with changes inside the body brought about by smoking, high doses of beta-carotene actually create harmful compounds.
Dr. Buring also recounted the recent findings from the Women's Health Initiative studies on hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Many doctors had been giving their patients HRT based on their own observations, she explained, and some thought it was actually unethical to conduct a randomized trial, which would require denying the benefits of these hormones to control groups.
But it turned out that randomized clinical trials had to be stopped early because the risks of using HRT for extended periods outweighed their benefits.
There were many possible reasons for these unexpected results. One likely explanation is that women taking HRT in the observational studies may have been living healthier lifestyles and seeing their doctors more often.
This explanation highlights an inherent limitation in observational studies, Dr. Buring said: "People who select one way to live also select others." Unforeseen or "confounding factors" in an observational study can lead to a clinical trial that returns unexpected results.
Asking Different Questions
Many people get frustrated with these discrepancies, Dr. Buring acknowledged, particularly when the media hypes contradictory conclusions. But she argued that these discrepancies aren't necessarily a sign of bad studies. "Discrepancies may mean the system is working," she said. "This is exactly why we do trials. Apparent discrepancies are not necessarily contradictory or wrong; they may be looking at different questions."
So why do observational studies at all, if randomized clinical trials are the best way to answer a question? "Sometimes, an observational study is the only feasible or ethical approach," Dr. Buring explained. For instance, researchers cannot ethically expose people to a suspected carcinogen to find out whether or not they develop cancer.
Dr. Buring concluded that "Neither a reliance on randomized clinical trials nor observational studies is appropriate." Both are needed to answer a medical question.
So if you find yourself wondering how seriously to take the latest research report, ask yourself what kind of study it was. Is this really the final word on the topic, or do researchers need to explore the topic further? Those "contradictory" research results, once you put them in perspective, may suddenly not be as baffling as they seemed.u

Now Labor can work with residents
In the fallout from the state poll we hope that Labor politicians remember that they have been elected to represent people.
Both major parties disappointed the electorate by failing to articulate any policies to help residents in strata communities - all 1.6 million of us whose voices have not been and are not being heard.
Neither the Labor nor Liberal pre-election platforms made any mention of residents.
A flyer letter-boxed in Melbourne district from Premier Andrews contained nothing about issues affecting inner city living.
Mr Andrews also turned down an invitation to the We Live Here "meet the candidates" forum. The Premier previously declined an invitation to attend our launch and has refused numerous other requests to engage with us over the past three years.
The Premier's victory speech similarly did not mention inner-city residents.
The sole Labor candidate at our pre-election forum, Jennifer Kanis, stated her support of We Live Here and a willingness to work with us if elected. At the time of writing, the electoral fate of Jennifer Kanis was still in the balance. Either way, without the official backing of Labor we are afraid that her sentiments may not count for much.
The Greens through Ellen Sandell and Samantha Ratnam along with Fiona Patten of the Reason Party have all been supportive of We Live Here and the regulation of the short-stay industry. But with reduced clout in parliament, the Greens and independents will not be able to achieve much.
So now Mr Andrews, it is time for Labor to take positive action and implement significant changes to support inner-city residents.
Work with council
Whatever the outcome of the next few weeks of political change, we hope the state government can learn to work collaboratively with the City of Melbourne.
The two tiers of government must work closely on issues around short-stays as well as other issues affecting residents including cladding, traffic congestion, planning, and the tram bridge.
Buildings fight back
Owners' corporation (OC) committees are becoming stronger and more united and are taking matters into their own hands – dispelling the fake news that OCs are dysfunctional or apathetic.
Many OC committees have expressed to We Live Here that they are prepared to risk VCAT action to ensure that their long-term residents – owner-occupiers and tenants – can enjoy the amenity of their Class Two residential building not designed for ersatz hotel-style accommodation.
To do this, short-stay operators and those who book short-term accommodation via on-line booking platforms – Airbnb, Stayz, etc – are forced to comply with in-house rules. However, this comes at a huge cost to the OC in terms of increased surveillance, security and maintenance which is paid for out of levies.
There must surely be some government MPs, old and new, who are aware of the short-stay issue overseas and mindful of what cities such as Paris, London, Barcelona, Berlin, Amsterdam, New York and San Francisco have been doing to regulate the short-stay industry.
A recent report released by the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute stated that short-term letting helps to "reinforce the increasingly inequitable housing landscape in Australia's largest cities", contradicting a report commissioned by Airbnb, and that a more comprehensive approach is needed to monitor and regulate the industry.
With its increased majority, this government must stop burying its head in the sand and take some action, allowing residents a seat at the table to ensure there is a level playing field for all so that the government is not seen to be kowtowing to multi-nationals like Airbnb.
We congratulate Daniel Andrews on his big win and invite him, as a matter of priority, to convene a meeting with representatives of We Live Here early in the term of his new government.
We Live Here calls on the Andrews government to:
1. AMEND the Owners Corporation Act 2006 to regulate the short-stay industry – far beyond the scope of the woefully inadequate pro-Airbnb "party" bill that was shamefully passed just before the election. The Airbnb "party" bill made it even harder for OCs to recoup costs of damage and it completely ignored issues of security, amenity and community development;
2. RESTORE POWERS to OCs to make decisions about use of a lot, lost in Justice Riordan's Supreme Court decision in July 2017;
3. GIVE POWERS to OCs to determine if short-stays should be permitted;
4. REVISE the proposed scheme for individual owners to take out a bank loan to remediate flammable cladding and repay the loan via their council rates – which would be unworkable; and
5. ENGAGE with We Live Here. Talk to us – we represent more than 200 buildings throughout Melbourne and Victoria. We can help you understand how to look after strata communities.

As a not-for-profit organisation, donations from individuals and buildings keep our campaigns going. To register as a supporter of We Live Here or to make a donation please visit our website at welivehere.net

Q: Missing required field "grant_type" in dropbox API I'm trying to use dropbox api to show main list folder, and I have a lot of problems when I try to have an access token from an authorized user.
My code is very simple, I get the code from giving permissions to my app. And the request to retrieve the token is this.
$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();

try{
//    $response = $client->get("https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=". $client_id . "&response_type=code");

    $response = $client->post("https://api.dropboxapi.com/oauth2/token",
        array(
            'json'  => array(
                'grant_type'    => 'authorization_code',
                'code' => '********ZJtDI'
            ),
            'auth'      => array(
                $client_id,
                $client_secret
            ),
        ));

    echo $response->getBody();

}catch ( \Exception $e ){
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

Client error: `POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/oauth2/token` resulted in a `400 Bad Request` response:
{"error_description": "missing required field \"grant_type\"", "error": "invalid_request"}

A: Your POST request must contain application/x-www-form-urlencoded encoded POST data, not a JSON string. See https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/docs#oa2-token. And read http://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/stable/quickstart.html#post-form-requests for sending a POST request with normal form fields.

A: As Progman said, you have to use usual form type (application/x-www-form-urlencoded) instead of JSON.
With Guzzle it's simple:
$response = $client->post("https://api.dropboxapi.com/oauth2/token",
    array(
        'form_params' => array(
            'grant_type' => 'authorization_code',
            'code' => '********ZJtDI',
            'client_id' => $client_id,
            'client_secret' => $client_secret,
        ),
    )
);

New Look At Classic Horror Movie Posters. Beware!
When I read about Tattoo Bob, I came across this contest that had run in Omaha and people did some pretty frigging awesome art work on these old movies. I thought you might like to see them too! Enjoy.
Omaha designers offer their spins on classic horror movie posters – Omaha.com.

Here's another Zooey Deschanel film to look forward to. She's becoming the go-to quirky leading lady and that's fine by me. It also stars Paul Dano from Little Miss Sunshine. Wasn't he great in that movie?
What was that other film, Dano was in not so long ago? It was a creepy role.
I absolutely adore Zooey. I thought she was a great Dorothy in "Tin Man."
Although I'd love to see her in some roles, like those that Juliette was doing back in the 90's.
LOL on Juliette Lewis. I was never a huge fan of hers but she did a great job in The Other Sister and What's Eating Gilbert Grape.


Los Angeles – Much to the excitement of guitar players and musicians worldwide, John Jorgenson will release Divertuoso, a limited edition, 3-CD box set of three separate, all-new full-length albums featuring three of Jorgenson's band configurations (gypsy jazz, bluegrass and electric) via Cleopatra Records on October 16, 2015.
Jorgenson's career has been wide-ranging, including playing lead guitar in Elton John's band for seven years; being a co-founder of both the groundbreaking The Hellecasters and The Desert Rose Band; being widely known as the U.S. Ambassador of Gypsy Jazz; and portraying Django Reinhardt in the Hollywood feature film Head In The Clouds. Jorgenson has recorded or toured with the likes of Bonnie Raitt, Luciano Pavarotti, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, The Byrds, Johnny Cash, Bob Seger, Willie Nelson and many others. Jorgenson is a GRAMMY Award-winner and has won many other awards, including being three-time Academy of Country Music (ACM) Guitarist of the Year.
Totaling 40 tracks in all, Divertuoso showcases Jorgenson's incredible virtuosity as both a musician and songwriter in a variety of styles. Considered a master of the electric and acoustic guitar, and many other instruments, Jorgenson plays 12 instruments on the box set (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, mandolin, bouzouki, clarinet, mandocello, soprano sax, bass, hammond organ, bassoon, keyboards, percussion), as well as vocals, and he composed a majority of the material. This release is a singular accomplishment not only for Jorgenson, but also for the guitar community as a whole. His mastery of these three disparate styles (gypsy jazz, bluegrass and rock) is on full display throughout these recordings.
The 15-track From The Crow's Nest by bluegrass supergroup J2B2 (John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band featuring Herb Pedersen, Jon Randall & Mark Fain) was recorded at Sheryl Crow's home barn studio in Nashville over the course of three days. Pedersen (The Dillards and Old And In The Way) is a legendary vocal arranger and musician who also co-founded The Desert Rose Band with Jorgenson. Hit songwriter Randall, a former member of Emmylou Harris' Nash Ramblers, has toured with Earl Scruggs and Sam Bush. Fain is the long-time bassist for Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder. The record includes lead and harmony vocals by Jorgenson, Randall and Pedersen, and when the three sing together, a magical 60's/70's folk air transforms the typical bluegrass "high lonesome harmonies" into an entirely different dimension. In addition to his vocal work, Jorgenson plays mandolin and acoustic guitar. Songwriters contributing to the record include Jorgenson, Pedersen, Randall (co-writer of the CMA Song of the Year, "Whiskey Lullaby," with Bill Anderson, included in this set), Rodney Crowell, Guy Clark, JD Souther, Mitchell Jayne and Rodney Dillard (members of The Dillards) and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Member Chris Hillman (The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers).

L'onada de fred a Europa de 2009-2010 va ser una fredorada que va començar el 17 de desembre del 2009 i va continuar durant els primers dies de l'any 2010. Va ser causat per un estancament persistent de la situació meteorològica que va portar aire fred i humit des del nord originant la ciclogènesi des de les tempestes d'Amèrica del Nord desplaçant-se a través de l'Oceà Atlàntic i arribant a Europa, on produïren grans nevades i temperatures molt inferiors a la mitjana de l'època. Les conseqüències van ser 192 morts (fins al 8 de gener del 2010), problemes estesos arreu d'Europa en el transport aeri, terrestre i marítim, ajornament d'esdeveniments esportius i danys en l'agricultura, entre d'altres.

A Dinamarca (Thisted) hi va haver un rècord de 83 cm de neu acumulada el dia 6 de gener del 2010. A Noruega la mínima es va situar en -45.6 °C.

Als Països Catalans la temperatura més baixa va ser -17,7 °C, enregistrada el dia 9 de gener de 2010 al Port de la Bonaigua a 2200 m d'altitud.

Q: CDN for your entire site - when the origin server equals the supername I am using a static site generator for my site, that means my entire site is static. All my resources and HTML files are referenced with the domain name prefixed, so that the CDN could be used.
But due to SEO concerns I disabled non-www access and redirect those to the www.domain.com variant. But now I cannot use a CDN apparently, because the origin server needs to be different from the supername.
Can a CDN be used for HTML files?
How can I deliver content through www.domain.com and use a CDN?
Can I give the CDN access to static.domain.com an an origin server, but deny access to other clients? Seems clumsy!
Any ideas?
Using Apache2.2 trying to use Level 3 CDN through my hosting company's site

A: depending what you are able to set on the CDN via your hosting company, the best way would be to override the host header on the CDN settings.
So, first let's look at your DNS settings:

*

*www should point to the CDN

*origin should point to your web server.

Now, on the CDN you set your origin to origin.yourdomain.com and add (I can't tell you if this is possible in your setup) a "http host header override" to www.yourdomain.com. In some cases it's implemented the other way around, so you would "force IP-Host" to origin.yourdomain.com.
In both cases, what you want to achieve is this:

*

*when an end user requests www.yourdomain.com , it is resolved to the CDN

*The CDN needs to fetch the content from your server, so it establishes a session on port 80 (assuming HTTP) to origin.yourdomain.com

*Once the port is open, the CDN sends (amongst others) a HTTP Host-Header with www.yourdomain.com (this is the name based virtual host APache is seeing and evaluating).

That way you can set up your web server in exactly the same way as you would without a CDN.


*EM-5E without ignition coil, coil driver, coil bracket. You must have one of the popular ignition boxes, such as MSD Streetfire, MSD5, old MSD6 (not digital6), Crane, Mallory hifire6a, etc.and a coil.
S.D.S. controls igniton timing by triggering the points wire.
**EM-5 4F version is available without coils. Intended to drive OE coil packs. Price $1504US.
EM-5 4F version is also available to drive MSD DIS-2 box. DIS-2 not included. Price $1394US.

Chicago Dance Crash at the Ruth Page Center for the Arts: With several full-length productions under its belt, Crash has pretty much mastered the narrative format. And "Lil Pine Nut," modeled after the story of Pinocchio, gave us some of the year's greatest choreographic ingenuity, cool designs, and a fun sampling of hip-hop with heart. Lauren Warneike Chicago Tribune Best in Dance 2019

The lights come up and Marilyn Manson's Beautiful People smacks us in the face. The performer begins a rage-fueled aerialist piece The only outlet for this rage that the performer has is climbing the silks as quickly as possible, tying herself into and out of knot after knot of fabric and dropping herself over ten feet with death-defying agility. In this writer's view, if you've ever felt judged by your outward appearance, you might especially relate to this performance.-Heather Sparling Picture This Post
As a festival veteran, James Morrow—b-boy and choreographer who began his career by stumbling in on a modern dance class at Northeastern Illinois University— is excited to return to HCCDF to celebrate such a big milestone. "What I love about the festival is that it is very eclectic, because there are so many different styles and genres represented. The fact that Melissa and Nicole are able to curate such a diverse show with national and international artists is such an important part of the Chicago dance scene that's been missing," said Morrow in an interview.
Morrow will be showing "We Don't Dig Holes to Bury Ourselves," a solo that "explores the cringeworthy justifications of war." The piece comes from Morrow's personal and visceral memory of 9/11 and its aftermath, the way the tragic event is permeated into the bodies of those who were alive to witness it, and the relationship that today's generation has with the event. "The first time I performed this piece was after 9/11…and I remember how surreal it felt watching the second tower go down. I teach at a university and many of the students don't really have a reference to it except for Google. There's a part of me that felt the need to bring it back," Morrow explained. As someone who was first introduced to dance at 10 years old through b-boying and Chicago's house scene, Morrow's work explores house dance and modern/contemporary techniques in his work as a spiritual experience. Morrow goes on, "Street dance doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Watching [artists like] Ron K. Brown's 'Grace' in New York…gave me permission, it empowered me, to use the vernacular that I grew up doing, and put it on the concert stage."-Brianna Alexis Heath seechicagodance.com
As highly animated as the show might be, this is no Disney-style version of a universally popular story. Rather, the choreographic contributions of KC Bevis, Dionna Pridgeon, Jessica Deahr, Jim Morrow and an ensemble of fearlessly acrobatic dancers turn break dance and hip-hop moves into a highly expressive language. And the story itself has been given just enough of an imaginative twist away from the original tale of a puppet boy whose penchant for lying results in an ever-elongated nose. Here, there is more of a suggestion of real-life consequences for rebellious behavior. In addition, the show demonstrates how the hip-hop movement vocabulary can be used to create a clear narrative, distinctive characters and formidable emotional punch.- Hedy Weiss WTTW NEWS
just before they all live happily ever after comes Morrow's piece: an extraordinary duet for Geppetto and Lil Pine Nut set to a gorgeous Sigur Ros track. It starts on the "upper stage," a smaller surface above the main performance area, the two cradled in the belly of a whale with rib bones positioned around them. It's a sweet moment between father and son, a reminder that it's OK to fail and make mistakes. It's also really good dancing.- Lauren Warnecke Chicago Tribune
The most meaningful movement happens inside the whale, where Lil Pine Nut breaks free of his physical and metaphorical bonds to instead support to his father, resulting in a series of mystifying lifts--including one where Geppetto rests vertically, his shoulder in the crook of Lil Pine Nut's, feet suspended into the air. - Jordan Kunkel seechicagodance.com
James Morrow created Neither Lost Nor Found for Cleveland's Dancing Wheels from an examination of texts by Martin Niemöller, a German theologian most known for his vocal dissent of the Nazi regime. I've admired Morrow's work as a solo artist for a few years, which is a thoughtful hybrid of hip-hop and contemporary dance, but had yet to see a group work. And this one is a gem in the repertory of this nearly 40 year old mixed-ability company, which has often been part of the bill at Spring to Dance. Morrow's strong use of gesture and seamless partnerships between the seated and standing dancers in the company offer a deeper comment on Niemöller's words in the 1930s about speaking out for those who face persecution and injustice, even when doing so doesn't directly impact or apply to you.- Lauren Warnecke ArtIntercept.com

After being fed up with harsh Northeast winters, Chicago native James Morrow, assistant professor of dance at Old Dominion University, decided it was time to move to a warmer climate. When he was ready to move, ODU made him an offer that he was thrilled to take.- Emma Hummer, Odu.edu
from_dancer_to_dance_professor_«_news.pdf
The program tone is generally subdued, but can be quite thought provoking, profound even. This was particularly true in the evening's second half, with an excerpt of James Morrow's solo called "//" and a duet for Erin Kilmurray and Mikey Rioux choreographed by Kate Corby of Madison, WI. Morrow adds a bit of an ellipse to the end of "//," too. He blends breakdancing with references to Christianity through a recorded recitation of the Lord's Prayer (by Michael Wall), and gestures inspired by those performed in a Catholic mass. This performance, for me, brings up memories of Morrow's 2015 Harvest Festival performance (http://www.artintercepts.org/2015/09/21/at-the-harvest- fest-less-is-more-review/), a solo he dedicated to the late dancer/choreographer Paul Christiano, although this is clearly more directed at his own internal battles. In the final moments, Morrow repeats a common breakdancing move, dipping one knee to the floor as a foot extends to the side, then bouncing up and doing it again and again, until the music fades out and all we hear is exhausted, heavy breathing. Depending on the nature of your own personal narrative, you could easily picture the scene as the "last call," when you're on a near empty dance floor, music thumping just for you, until "you don't gotta go home, but you can't stay here." Or, "//" might bring up countless Sundays of practiced genuflects, or innate crossings of the forehead, lips, and chest. For Morrow it's clearly both; either way, "//" seems to be about the near abandonment of consciousness that comes with any embodied cultural ritual.- Lauren Warnecke SeeChicagoDance.com

This solo performance is raw. The Lord's prayer is being recited as Morrow moves across the stage. He is exploring his relationship with both his Christian upbringing and the Chicago House community in a truly emotional fashion. - Quinn Delaney PlaylistHQ

Today we'd like to introduce you to James Morrow.
Every artist has a unique story. Can you briefly walk us through yours?
Born in Chicago IL. I started b-boying at a park across the street from my grandparents' house when I was ten years old. I later got introduced to house and was also heavily involved in the rave and club scene in Chicago during my high school and college years. I went to college on a baseball scholarship and began taking dance classes to help improve my agility behind the plate. During my junior year I dropped my baseball scholarship and took a dance talent waiver and began to truly invest in my dancing. It was a huge shock to everyone around me. I was very scared but I felt it was the right choice.
Because of my dancing, I've traveled all around the world. I'm currently writing this from the city of Kerch which is now part of Russia, formerly the Ukraine. My dancing has allowed me to meet people from all walks of life and I'm grateful for that. I'm imprinted by all these individuals and experiences. Dance has shaped much of how I see the world and I enjoy sharing those experiences with my family and friends and especially my students when in the classroom. Meet James Morrow BostonVoyager.com

the dance choreography (James Morrow) were rousing and taut... The dance scenes filled the role of Greek chorus, somewhat, stepping back from the discord to give warnings or add insights. The dance music mashed techno/house/beat with Lully/Rameau/Couperin without hesitation, the dancers doing the same, in a marvelous flurry of movement and sound.-Keith Powers, Wicked Local Saugus
The Salem State University Theatre Department does not mess around. Its production of "A Free Man of Color," running through April 29 at the Sophia Gordon Center for Creative and Performing Arts, has it all. The romping satire features dramatic fight scenes, a chase montage, hip-hop dance interludes and a wardrobe Louis XVI would envy, to name only a few of its charms.
One of Sampieri's boldest additions to the show is that of dance interludes to modern music such as Kendrick Lamar's "LOYALTY" and Syl Johnson's 1969 "Is It Because I'm Black." In many scenes, a crowd will be dancing in traditional 19th-century style to instrumental music when suddenly a hip-hop beat takes over and the twerking begins. These inserts aren't merely for entertainment; Sampieri says they provide a respite for the audience and allows them to keep an analytical, emotional distance from the drama. Celina Colby- The Bay State Manner
Notable mention goes deservedly to James Morrow and Victoria Derenzo. In James Morrow's piece he gave a gripping account of a lonely
figure, perhaps who is now only a shadow of a man, isolated and trapped in a world that is terrifying. Morrow's use of overt repetition to
the point of portraying insanity was not lost on this piece's subtle context. - Heather Anne Chamberlain, Stage Buddy
I met the soul walking along the path, by james morrow/THE MOVEMENT, wasn't as pretentious as its title or the notation attached to a performance of it on Vimeo. In fact, despite its more or less contemporary costume (an artfully torn jacket and jeans with a T-shirt) and its
pop song accompaniment, the dance seemed to hark back to early modern dance solos where the performer is acting out some inner dialogue with an unseen adversary. Morrow used an ambiguous gesture language that could have signified a religious conversion and a return of doubt. Or it could have signified something else entirely. Morrow, a sturdy, balding man, didn't look like a sleek, toned contemporary dancer, but he could do lightning fast pivots, heel spins, and a long-held shoulder stand with his legs slowly twisting in the air. Mostly he carried on a riveting if mysterious monologue. - By Marcia B. Siegel, The Art Fuse

queer mades push against normative gestural expression, even as they push against themselves. "11" (2011) created by james morrow, and included in "theoryography 4.5," cast a queer contemporary dancer/ b-boy into a series of elusive gestures reminiscent of catholic church practice, intercut with odd, loving manipulations of prop chairs. morrow dances away from the audience for much of this work, often exploring dramatic physical ideas without revealing his facial expression; sudden shifts in movement style signal a moody, always-fragmentary mode of queer production. at time, morrow's gestures fail and he repeats them, violently; but the dance as a whole fails to offer a coherent movement vocabulary or approach to its own contents. by the time morrow removes his shirt to retrieve a razor and shave his chest, revealing a prominent OBEY tattoo along his arm, his audience imagines an assemblage of experience that combine via their proximity within this performance. morrow's body engages these varied modes of moving; the work offers queer assemblage that ends with a full-color projection of a beating heart on the performer's exposed skin. b-boy movement, religious ritual gesture, neo-african dance, intimate personal grooming, and odd media projection collide in the performer's execution; queerly disagreeing with each as they each assert their presence in the dance. the queer-made of "11" emerges from the fizzy and mysterious montage of method that constitutes its whole. morrow makes a queer world in his dance, where his ostensibly straight b-boy can collide with his selves as a contemporary dancer, former catholic alter boy, and shepard fairey-admiring activist in a dance of unlikely affiliation. - Thomas DeFrantz, page 174-175 of QUEER DANCE-Meanings and Makings edited by Clare Croft

Festival first-timer James Morrow of Salem, Mass., is one of five artists bringing work from out of state. Morrow first learned of the fest over a year ago when he performed at Sam Houston State University. In his solo work, "I met the soul walking along my path," he explores the "different ways patriarchal culture keeps men from knowing themselves" through a style that combines modern dance with B-boying, or break dancing. "Patriarchal culture continues to tell the male population that what is most valuable about them is their strength, aggression and ability to dominate their environment," Morrow said. "Through moments of violence and vulnerability I'm pushing through these levels of conditioning in order to find modes of expression. Being introduced to dance and B-boying really helped me find ways to say things that I couldn't with words. Articulating my feelings is a practice for me, just like heading into the studio to work on movement." Why bring this work in particular to Austin? "I believe it's a good representation of my artistic oeuvre. … It feels accessible to many and revolves around a topic that is personal but perhaps reaches out beyond me." This sentiment gets exactly at what Hamrick hopes the festival will accomplish — to make modern dance accessible to a larger community in Austin, and to unify the city's artists around a single event.- Claire Christine Spera, THE STATESMAN, TX
The pièce de résistance was truly the finale dedicated to the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando entitled "Stakes is High." The dance consisted of three parts. The first told the story of two characters moving with constriction, experiencing insecurity and anger within themselves and with each other. The tension dispels and the characters find strength in the community of a large group of high energy dancers who move freely and without inhibition. Dancers begin to fall and the music shifts. They begin to move with more synchronization making gestures of prayer and confusion. Their despair is apparent but their solidarity is unshaken. The piece earned the most enthusiastic ovation of the night.
This production, led by Levy and supremely supported by Katie McCaughan, Tiffany S. Santerio, Emily Cargill, Bliss Kohlmyer, James Morrow, and Mikey Rioux, has continued the great modern dance tradition of not merely reflecting our culture but allowing us to engage more deeply though the physical symbolism that dance allows. It facilitates a deeper way to process the Orlando tragedy that only "Stakes is High" choreographer James Morrow and the Jacksonville Dance Theatre can consistently deliver. - Katherine Hobbs EU Jacksonville
Third in Saturday's program was 'Eleven Years After' from Joel Hall Dancers. Both costumed and choreographed by James Morrow, the piece comprised of five female dancers in loose dark pants, shirtless tops that looked like they had stiff buttons- like those on a straight jacket- up the middle, barefoot, with swinging ponytails on the top of their heads. Based on the concepts of perfection and perdition, the stage was dark with pools of overhead spotlight. It looked like the performers were deep underground, in a well or sewer. There was something unsettling about the relationships between both the interacting couple during the old timey and effectively creepy 'Do it again' piece of music, and the trio of women in increasingly fast gesture, grasping the sides of their heads with the sounds of rain falling. There was an odd conclusion of three dancers executing peppy, basic hip-hop which felt like a falsely happy ending to an otherwise distorted piece. The dancers were very strong in movement that used groundwork and partnering but the musical selection was distracting and chaotic, going from Opera for a Small Room to DJ Kotchy and three other diverse sounds. It was moody and eye-catching, but without unifying factors of movement or music, the overall effect was an oversaturation of 'new and different' without satisfying resonance.
James Morrow, now teaching in Massachusetts, honors the memory of dancer Paul Christiano in the solo "I met my soul walking along the path." In an intense, peculiar, riveting performance set to Michael Wall's cover of Nick Lowe's "The Beast in Me" and Roberta Flack's "We May Never Meet Again," Morrow embodies both mourner and lost one, at times channeling Christiano's kinetic flashes. Directing his focus into the wings or up to the skies, he seemingly strains to connect with someone not quite visible to him or to us. - Laura Molzahn Chicago Tribune IL
James Morrow's I met my soul walking along the path premiered early in 2015 as a group piece for Chicago Dance Crash, reimagined for HCCDF as a solo and dedicated to the memory of Paul Christiano. The subtleties are what counted here: Morrow's sometimes pedestrian movement, the soft articulation of his fingers, a beat up blazer and an Atari shirt (perhaps a nod to Christiano's 2010 ADHDivas), and his gaze into the wings as the delicate score sang of a "tomorrow that may never come."Lauren Warnecke- ARTS INTERCEPT IL
"Chicago Dance Crash harkens back to their urban roots for their last formal show until December. Before the break though, they've brought in several choreographers and friends with styles as fresh as their own for a solid repertory send off.... Also premiering a new work is Chicago native James Morrow with "Stakes Is High." Morrow, who is now a professor at Salem State University, was also the creative inspiration for Crash more than a decade ago." -Michelle Meywes The Chicagoist IL
"A new work by James Morrow — mastermind of Chicago's Instruments of Movement in the mid-2000s, now a professor at Salem State University, just north of Boston — likewise pays homage to the company's roots. At one time or another, Deahr, producing director Mark Hackman and former artistic director Kyle Terry all danced with Instruments of Movement "Crash openly and admittedly tried to build off what Jim does," Deahr says.
Morrow describes his "Stakes Is High" as "blurring the lines between contemporary movement and urban aesthetics," adding that, though it references violence and the fragility of life, it's still "a feel-good piece, mostly about the dancers being present onstage with each other."
Asked about the Crash dancers these days, Morrow is momentarily speechless. Eventually he says, "Oh man! They're really incredibly versatile! They've grabbed onto that fusion idea and taken it to a really good place."- Laura Molzahn Chicago Tribune, IL
"Kitchen Sink, performed by Jacksonville Dance Theater and choreographed by Rebecca R. Levy, was dark and gentle, and full of heartache, ushered in by Patsy Cline. A couple, danced elegantly by Levy and James Morrow, got together and broke apart and got back together only to break up again. It was the break-up they were addicted to, the space between each other. They were activated by wanting each other and dysfunctional when they had each other."
- Lydia Hance The Dance Dish TX
"Schroeder, on the other hand, simply said to his friend and choreographer, "Hey, Jim (James Morrow), do you want to hang out in Minneapolis and do a piece for me?" Yet watching a video clip of Morrow and him dancing side by side, it is undeniable that while Schroeder's outer approach may be more casual, his art is just as "honest and beautiful and life-changing" as Ober's piece.." - Lianna Matt The Wake MN
"Paul Matteson's Take It OVER is a trio for him, James Morrow, and Jennifer Pollins with Phil Dupont on piano. A Bessie-awarded dancer from his time with David Dorfman and Lisa Race, he's sharpened his performance practice with Bill T. Jones in the past few years. Take It OVER digs into richly interpersonal textures while offering a highly satisfying blend of breathy release and vigorous partnering." - Maura Donohue CULTUREBOT NY
Kris, a wheelchair basketball and track athlete for many years, brings an athleticism and sense of fun to the floor. He performs one dance with various pieces and part of his wheelchair, balancing on the frame, spinning the wheels, spinning on top of the wheels.....creating a sense of freedom and flight and movement that is so far from the terminology of "confined to a wheelchair" and "wheelchair-bound" that it seems the perfect time to permanently erase them from our vocabulary.- Linda Mastandrea ChicagoNow.com IL
"Early in the piece, DeFrantz read out a card that commanded, "Disrobe." Most of the performers stripped off a layer. When DeFrantz again commanded "disrobe," James Morrow, the one man in the performance, went all the way. His nakedness was disarming and charming. Watching Morrow's penis flopping happily against his stomach, and watching him seem to feel liberated rather than embarrassed by his nakedness, was quite lovely. His naked presence also echoed Kohler dancing while wearing the harness and dildo from the evening before, and commented profitably on the construction of sex." - Jill Dolan The Feminist Spectator NJ
"Morrow, who performed his dance during the second half of the evening simultaneously with Trentham in Toronto, delivered a similarly transformative emotional journey. He lay down on a bed covered with dirt, which spilled onto the floor and eventually became its own sort of prop for Morrow's melancholic fancies. These eventually turned into something like Taravella's ebullience -- each dancer seemed to make a journey toward the other." - Colin Dabkowski The Buffalo News NY
"James Morrow explodes in 'Four Mad Humours' Four Mad Humours—running Thursday through Sunday at the Viaduct Theatre—is a bi-national, media-heavy piece created by Gerry Trentham of Toronto'sPounds Per Square Inch company." - Laura Molzahn WBEZ91.5
"The most riveting example, aside from the crows' individual gestures and movements, involves the sections where Jim Morrow's taut prisoner writhes, dodges and vibrates in agony in a cold interrogation room while the intolerable memories of his life unspool again and again." - Bryan Woods Indy Weekly, NC..
"The program also featured the debut of Chicago choreographer James Morrow's "Passing Me By," a hip-hop infused quartet. Morrow is on his own quest to marry hip-hop and modern concert dance. This piece fluidly joins sculpted balletic shapes with the crouching poses and tangled body language of breakdancing. Morrow and Benjamin Law demonstrate a deftness for smoothly merging the two in performance without resorting to easy visual
tricks." - Lucia Mauro Chicago Tribune, IL
"Morrow's Right as Rain--which features an "angel" in a black gown with book pages stapled to her hem--tells a story about what Morrow calls "the evolution of the community through the gift of knowledge." - Laura Molzahn Chicago Reader, IL.
"Jan Bartoszek of Hedwig Dances delves into the dark side of human nature as she brings to life Spanish artist Francisco Goya's etchings. A bawdy pantomime by three couples in Enlightenment-era satins and ruffles skipping around to Bach's music grows into a brutal seduction. The dancers wear masks by local puppeteer Blair Thomas, to grotesque, eerie effect. James Morrow's duet of conquest with Kirsty MacKellar flits between innocent flirtation and the looming threat of violence." -Lucia Mauro Chicago Tribune IL
"Morrow's ultimately disappointing "Right as Rain" is too deliberately unfathomable in its out-there imagery. But its stark drama of a New Age tribe overseen by a kind of matriarchal storyteller is fraught with haunting tableaux and is nicely executed, including its use of juvenile dancers." - Sid Smith Chicago Tribune, IL
"Beautiful dynamite" was what Fred Astaire called Cyd Charisse--and Instruments of Movement artistic director James Morrow borrowed the expression for this program, performed by his mostly female troupe and dominated by several pieces focused on women or gender relations." - Laura Molzahn Chicago Reader, IL.
"His Can You Dig It is a generation-spanning celebration of funk and social criticism using music by James Brown's JB's, and texts by KRS-One, Public Enemy, and Mos Def. There's an edge to this piece, which includes literal soapbox speeches and alludes to ongoing wars on poverty, drugs, and crime. But Morrow's fundamental optimism and the get-down dancing keep gloom and doom at a distance" - Laura Molzahn Chicago Reader, IL.
"Beginning lyrically enough to showcase a pas de deux, the electronic music soon slurred into the static of an LP rubbed the wrong way. Six female dancers executed center stage solos and reacted to the disharmony as though electric shocks were pulsating through their bodies. Grouping in pods of two or three around prone figures, they ebbed and flowed like an approaching and receding tide."- Susan Weinrebe ExploreDance.com, IL.

Q: javascript countdown synchronize on different browsers I'm sorry if this question is a bit tricky but I have no other way of asking it and I am an absolute noob in javascript world.
I have this javascript counter that someone helped me to gather on stackoverflow and it works fine BUT
the countdown timer will start from the beginning on a different browsers.
i.e. when I look at it on Firefox, it will carry on counting down and it will keep working as it should. lets say the timer is set to countdown a day. on Firefox it will show 23:24 hours/minutes left but if I open a new browser (any browser), it will show the timer 23:59 hours/minutes left and it will start counting down from there... even though the countdown timer was already running on the same page!!
here is the code:
 <script type="text/javascript">
var EXPIRY = parseInt(new Date().getTime()/1000) + 24*60*60;
var counter = null;
var counter_interval = null;

function setCookie(name,value,days) {
    console.log("setting "+name+" "+value);
    var expires;
    if (days) {
        var date = new Date();
        date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
        expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();
    }
    else {
        expires = "";
    }
    document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/";
}

function getCookie(name) {
    var nameEQ = name + "=";
    var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
    for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++) {
        var c = ca[i];
        while (c.charAt(0) == ' ') {
            c = c.substring(1,c.length);
        }
        if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) === 0) {
            return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length);
        }
    }
    return null;
}

function deleteCookie(name) {
    setCookie(name,"",-1);
}

function resetCounter() {
    EXPIRY = parseInt(new Date().getTime()/1000) + 24*60*60;
}

function stopCounter() {
    window.clearInterval(counter_interval);
    deleteCookie('Expiry');
}

function updateCounter() {
    var msg = '';
    curTime = parseInt(new Date().getTime()/1000);
    if (curTime < EXPIRY) {
        msg = convertSecondsToDays(EXPIRY - curTime);
    }
    else {
        EXPIRY = parseInt(new Date().getTime()/1000) + 24*60*60;
    }
    var el = document.getElementById('counter');
    if (el) {
        el.innerHTML = msg
    }
}

function convertSecondsToDays(sec) {
  var days, hours,rem,mins,secs;
  days =  parseInt(sec/(24*3600));
  rem = sec - days*3600
  hours = parseInt(rem/3600);
  rem = rem - hours*3600;
  mins = parseInt(rem/60);
  secs = rem - mins*60;
  return days +":" + hours +":"+mins + ":"+ secs + "";
}

function startCounter() {
    stopCounter();
    setCookie('Expiry', EXPIRY, 1);
    counter_interval = window.setInterval(updateCounter, 1000);
}

function init() {
    EXPIRY = getCookie('Expiry');
    if (!EXPIRY) {
        console.log("unable to find cookie");
        resetCounter();
    }
    startCounter();
}

init();

you can view it on the fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/h2DEr/1/
how can i make it in a way that it will show the same time left on all the browsers as it will be displayed on the same page?
Thanks
Edit:
I found this code which works with mysql. it works fine but instead of counting down it will show how many days/hours/minutes the product/item was posted on the site. and this doesn't need any javascript as is...
This is sort of what I am looking for but instead of counting up it needs to countdown:
    <?php

//list fields and convert to seconds

$countdown['days']=(5) * 24 * 60 * 60;

$countdown['hours']=(3) * 60 * 60;

// etc, etc

$countsum=time() + $countdown['days'] + $countdown['hours']; //and so on

// the above would be the timestamp to enter into the table

##########

// 'dumbed down' query
include "config/connect_to_mysql.php";

$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tomProduct WHERE id='id';");

while ($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result))

    $time=$row['date_added'] - time(); //this field would be a PHP timestamp (time())

$count=getdate($time);

$x=getdate(); //todays information

$count['mday'] -= $x['mday'];

$count['hour'] -= $x['mday'];

$count['minutes'] -= $x['minutes'];

echo "$count[mday] Days $count[hour] Hours $count[minutes] Minutes"; //etc

// untested, but should work

?>

A: JavaScript is always running on the client. One instance of the timer has no knowledge of any other instance running elsewhere.
To synchronize time between different browsers, you would need server-side scripts.
Using expiration-time-stamps in a server-side script in conjunction with JavaScript timers should give you the synchronization you are looking for.

A: Cookies are not transferred from browser to browser. They are stored in the web browser.


Right now, I'm sitting in a bed with my just-days-away-from-being-two-years-old daughter lying next to me.
She is wearing footsie pajamas decorated with bunnies and hearts, and she's tucked beneath a slate green woven blanket and a pure white cotton comforter. Yet her gentle breathing and the feel of her relaxed hand on my leg are softer than anything man could manufacture.
If you follow me on Twitter, you know we escaped the clutches of the Midwest Christmas Blizzard last week and made it to Colorado, where my parents recently moved. It's been a FULL holiday season. We celebrated Christmas three times in three days -- on Christmas Eve with Corey's parents, on Christmas morning with our immediate family (read: the kids, Corey and me) and on Boxing Day in Colorado with my side of the family.
Not only have I eaten every form of holiday treat available in America, my kids also now own every toy in the world.
We are exceedingly, immeasurably blessed. It is very humbling.
I'm technically on vacation this week, so I've been trying to stay away from the computer and all things blog-Twitter-Facebook related. But I can't resist the temptation to share a few seasonal pictures with accompanying song title captions. Because this will only be funny for about another 48 hours. If that.
And after that last shot ... really, what more can I say? See you in 2010.
Ah, love those snapshots! So glad you guys made it out to CO for some family time.
So Teyla's birthday is coming up, huh? Bless those winter babies.
I love #3! The smiles are fabulous and cheesy! Perfection.
Love it, love it, love it! Immeasurably blessed, indeed. Appropriately humbled here as well, except without the white Christmas.

SURPRISE, SURPRISE: During EPL break, Fuchs visits his academy in Warwick
Feb 18, 2019 | Youth |
WARWICK, N.Y. – Participants in the Fox Soccer Academy got a big surprise when its owner, Christian Fuchs, was on hand Sunday to host a practice session.
Fuchs, a defender for Leicester City in the English Premier League, is the owner of Hudson Sports Complex here and the founder of Fox Soccer Academy.
"I was off for a few days with Leicester, so I came to New York to see my family and to visit Hudson Sports Complex," Fuchs said. "It was nice to meet so many of the parents and to spend time with the kids. My wife and I see this as a family business and it's very important for us to be an active part of the community."
Fuchs' visit was unannounced, so Academy participants were shocked to see him on the field and managing the practice.
"It was a real pleasure for my son, Leonardo, to be able to meet and train with Christian," said Frédéric Blic of Warwick. "He was thrilled to train with a Premier League player and was telling everyone about it all day. He left super proud of himself because he was able to score on a pro player."
Fox Soccer Academy is an elite youth development program that offers motivated young athletes a unique opportunity to learn directly from professional coaches and players using world class training techniques.
The Fuchs family also stuck around after practice to play foosball with some of the kids.
"Some of those kids were good. I was taking it easy until they started knocking balls past me," Fuchs said with a laugh. "I'll be back here soon to get my revenge."
The next tryout for the Warwick supplemental training program with Fox Soccer Academy for boys and girls ages 8 to 16 will be held at Hudson Sports Complex Wednesday, March 13 at 6 p.m.
Parents can register their children at https://www.foxsoccer.academy.

Trump Administration Delays Yet Another Food Rule: Revised Nutrition Facts Label Paused Indefinitely
On June 13, 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA or the Agency) delayed indefinitely the Nutrition Facts and Supplement Facts Label and Serving Size rules (the Rules), which were set to go live on July 26, 2018 for larger companies, and a year later for smaller companies. Beyond a number of formatting changes for packaged foods, including increasing the type size for "calories," "servings per container," and the "serving size" declaration, and bolding the number of calories and the serving size declaration, significantly, the Rules would require the inclusion of "added sugars" on the new label. The "added sugars" requirement has been particularly controversial, with some in industry arguing that it compels speech in violation of the First Amendment.
By way of background over the past few months, the Trump administration has delayed or relaxed a handful of Obama administration food rules, including those governing: restaurant and similar retail food establishment menu labeling (see our previous discussions here, here, here, here, and here); the amounts of whole grains and sodium in school lunches (see U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Perdue's Proclamation here); and animal welfare standards for organic foods (see here).
Interestingly, the Agency did not announce a timeline for how long it would be delaying the Rules, saying only on its website that it would issue guidance to help industry comply with the food labeling requirements and that FDA "will provide details of the extension through a Federal Register Notice at a later time."
The Agency's move to delay the Rules is not terribly surprising, given President Trump's pledge to cut broadly FDA's regulations, and Commissioner Scott Gottlieb's indication in his confirmation hearing that he would be open to delaying the Rules in order to align with USDA's GMO labeling rule (as we previously discussed here). The Agency's announcement was welcome news to the leading food and beverage groups that sent a letter to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Dr. Tom Price on March 14, 2017 requesting delay of the Rules from July 2018 until May 2021.
Others in the industry pushed back against FDA's delay, in light of the time and money already spent preparing to comply with the Rules, with some indicating that they are moving forward with revised labels in spite of the Agency's recent announcement. For example, Mars Inc., maker of several candy products and Uncle Ben's rice, noted that it will still be issuing compliant labels on certain products within the next several months, and will be fully compliant by next year.
Given the Trump administration's inclination to delay, relax, or roll back Obama administration regulations, one has to wonder what other FDA and USDA regulations could be targeted next. One such possibility could be the Agency's Deeming Rule, which subjects e-cigarettes, cigars, hookah tobacco, and pipe tobacco to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (see our previous discussion here).
We will continue to monitor this issue and provide further updates as more information becomes available.
