An evening with Unai experimented with the formation and gave our younger and squad players a good run out. An easy win in the end. Had our hosts managed to get a goal, particularly to get it back to 1-1 during a first half when they created plenty of half chances, it may have been different. The 60,000 Azeris were desperate to cheer on their side but Sokratis' very early opener rather punctured their ballon. The crowd got quieter and quieter. The chances Qarabag did create, or we provided with some dodgy defending, were wasted. When they hit the target Bernd pulled off 3-4 good saves. Not their night. Can I say however, to any Azeris reading the post today "Congratulations" on the pitch, its green surface put Wembley to shame.
I think for us the experiment with a back three did not show much promise and, understandably, at half time it was abandoned. Given the number of games Monreal has played recently I am not sure that emery intended to carry on for the full 90 on that formation even if it had been a revelation. I can understand why Unai might look at it as we are not particularly secure in defence. He may, in fact, look at it again as 45 minutes in Azerbaijan is hardly proof either way. I very much doubt however we shall see the three centre backs deployed at Craven Cottage, or any time in the next two or three games against domestic league opponents.
In contrast to the back three experiment the performance of the young players drafted in and relied on last night was far more pleasing. Smith Rowe demonstrated what we know is his excellent technique and did not flinch in the charged atmosphere. His goal was the cherry on the cake for the 18 year old. I heard last night from the commentator that Emile meant to "nutmeg" the keeper as he put the ball away. Yeah – right. Guendozi I also thought brought all the energy he has to control of midfield and again the 19 year old finished his evening with a goal. And my man of the match ? Alex Iwobi – did you see his bit of skill on the two Qarabag defenders. I shall drop in the film below. The young man is in a great rum of form at the moment and improving every week.
Of our other players good to see THE TANK back on the pitch after his injury break. He will need a few games to get his sharpness back but I sense he is player that Emery will want to work with and improve. And finally I was gratified to see that having brought Laca and Ozil 2,500miles to Baku the manager got them off the bench to run about a bit. Never having been a professional footballer I do not know what it would be like to travel all that way, in midweek, and sit on the bench for 90 minutes, and then go home with your kit all still clean. I imagine however it would be frustrating. If as a player you do get a chance to get on the pitch, kick the ball about even for 15-20 minutes, you can at least feel the trip has been worthwhile.
A day off I see for the players today after the long trip home and tomorrow preparing for the short trip to Putney for Fulham. A very different set of obstacles on the tight ground beside the Thames.
That was indeed a fantastic piece of passe passe from Alex, player of the month so far!
Defence has to be the focus. We are more or less on par with Liverpool Chelsea and Spurs in attack with only one goal separating us. But we have conceded more goals than the four above us.
It will be challenging to get the defence solid without impacting on attack and so far we don't seem to have great options. Kos is out, no cover for Monreal as Saed will take to time to get into form, Holding though improving in every game is relatively green, no established partnerships as Sokratis beds in, Mustafi is still an enigma. If we can keep pace and be in top 4 by Jan we will need to add a centre back, one with pace as well.
Iwobi seems nailed on for the wings and if Reece steps up we may not need to get another player in but I would love to see another Ox type player in the mix. Smith Rowe looks like he can be our next Ramsey.
If we just get the defence right I think we are nailed on for a top four.
I don't think it is a matter (necessarily) of the quality of our defensive players TFL. I see some far worse clubs with far worse defensive players putting up a battling, last ditch display to keep out better opposition. What kills us is the mistakes that we make, players out of position and seemingly not understanding what is required of them, players not concentrating, dithering on the ball when was is needed is a great big hoof.
Last night's game was quite enjoyable… we just have this way of of stringing together wins without playing at our fluent best. I'm starting to think that maybe all this chaos on the field is what Emeryball is all about. It open up the games by not allowing opposition to get into formation. I like it!
It's like there isn't a language to talk adequately about defending in its collective sense. That goes for the way that no individual defender could have prevented Isaac Success's chance last week. It was all about spacing, and Torreira being a little naive when Monreal was miles up the pitch. If the team is an organism, its growth plates haven't fused yet…or something.
I do like us though. Normally in the good times you forget what the drought is like. But we're in the drought right now – a gang of irregulars shambling across the mesa.
I'd add Maitland-Niles and Nketiah to the list of 'likely lads' coming through to replace the old guard. Arguably they've already arrived and it's just injuries/high cost competition in certain spots that's stopping them from being in the team now.
I wasnt able to see the game, so much appreciated your report Anicoll5. Many thanks.
no problem Dave – it was an odd game to watch. Once we went 1-0 up so early I sort of switched off mentally. I expect Sporting Lisbon to put up a bit more of a challenge but fingers crossed, before we go to the Ukraine at the end of November we will have safely qualified. We have Spurs then ManYoo the following week after Poltova so I'd guess a very skeleton squad would take the field if progression to the next round is sorted out.
Thanks anicoll5, fine food for thought on your 11.41am.
for me the 3 at the back can not be judged on last nights 45 minutes, as we will have to see it with Mustafi in the 3 and Hector and Nacho as the wingbacks, and of course Torreira and Xhaka as the midfield two. As last night Lichtsteiner, Kolasinac, Eleney and Guendouzi all struggled. As did smith-rowe with the defensive side of his game, but like Guendouzi his goal covers a multitude of sins. EMS was good in one direction only.
Alex is indeed brilliant at times but he has a touch of the Alexis about him and I'm afraid his work rate is low. I certainly wouldn't want him in front of me if I was a defender. To be MotM or indeed Player of month you have to be judged on your all round game and not just moments of brilliance.
I love supporting players from Hale end and like Alex but he hasn't had a stand out game this month and certainly not yesterday. While I agree he had no right to get out of that situation (shown above) I'm sure the coaches will be having a word about times he failed to track midfield runners. Sometimes it's not all about what you do but also what you haven't done.
Now I've got that out of the way there once again was some very pleasing bits and some worrying bits. Sead looked suspect on his return although as it was his first game he can be forgiven.
As I mentioned the modern habit of takleing from the wrong side last week another modern phenomenon was in evidence last night. Getting close to wingers to stop crosses then defending the corner used to be the norm. Now however it seems players stand off allowing the cross or pull back to happen and try to deal with the initial danger. This however has me crapping my pants far more than setting up to defend a corner although maybe there's some stats somewhere that prove the new approach is less dangerous.
It is amazing that in our eight game run the oppossision has plenty of chances and we haven't controlled a single game but we keep racking up the wins and even when our forward line aren't linking at points in every game we have been clinical.
The longer the game went on last night the more I enjoyed it and it's strange to see Unai through on striker after striker, he is true to his word he does like goals.
If Matteo won the award last month, I can't see why Alex wouldn't deserve it this month. It's not about being perfect or no one would win. Alex has been effective going forward and contributed to a few goals. Winning the player of the month would be a boost to his confidence and encourage him to continue improving. I see that as a good thing.
Anicol@10:52 the mistakes are a worry. The fact that time and again we get exposed on eithet flank is frankly getting a bit ridiculous. It does show that there is no effective communication or organisation from the bark. We desperately.need.a.leader someone who can read the game and direct the defence.
I was impressed with Torreira and the way he read the game last night. But the number of times the full backs were left 2 on 1 or even 3 on 1 was worrying. Also the way the full backs got sacked in and moved into the centre (especially Saed) left gaps to be exploited.
It shouldn't be a surprise that a mix-and-match team looks a bit disjointed. I think winning despite this flaw is a good sign. Although I wasn't able to see yesterday's match, one thing I noticed during the Brentford game was that Elneny and Guendouzi both seemed to be trailing the play a lot. When one CM does this, a team can manage, but when both do it, the opposition can get at the back line and create chances.
Passenal, normally I agree with you on most things but this I just can't. I do agree you don't have to be perfect and a player showing consistent improvement should be up for the award however I think while he is undoubtedly skillful in places I don't think his played well for a full 90 minutes in any of this month's games.
He still losses the ball to often, he still makes the wrong decisions often and he is still let's midfielders run past him and doesn't go with them.
Now I do like him I have since he broke into the U21s but I just don't get the all those saying he's playing well. I believe he can play alot better and I believe he will.
If seven or eight wins on the bounce and three clean sheets in a row represents a drought then I am drowning!
This run reminds me of the runs of 2014-16, parsimonious, efficient, as some wrote at the time almost Mourinhio-esque (yikes!) football. No wonder the Billy big blaggers had to write a story that didn't match what was happening of the football pitch, otherwise at at this time there'd have no memes to churn out as click bait. See that old nag over there, that's right, the poor beast is getting a flogging. Same as the Cech Leno gibberish, Unai's method and manner was easy to predict and appreciate, he simply did the same as all good managers would do. But when you need to churn out the content I suppose something has gotta give eh! Lucky us.
A return to some decent form for the team after the replacements for Gabriel and Coquelin had settled and re-strengthened the squad was almost as predictable as the Barca players easing off at the start of the second half and letting in one or two goals midweek when 2-0 up they observed that Messi could score at will. Alas it wasn't to be my favorite scoreline when the plundits favourite team are playing.
Still not sure about Mustafi though! Sorry Passenal. Hopefully he'll prove me wrong, he'll rightfully get the chance to do so. With only three main CBs he'll be getting plenty of minutes, at least till the new year.
The big difference I forgot to clarify between this season and the runs of 201416 (two golden gloves, consecutive clean sheet record etc. etc. etc.!) is of course the big big as in BIG chances being offered up to the opponent on a slightly higher frequency.
However as I don't know what I am talking about I wouldn't want to make an Arsenal of myself by critiquing some mysterious unseen nebulous entity vaguely and blissfully described as "Defensive Coaching".
The new gaffer will be feeling pretty good about those three clean sheets in a row.
A max. of 45 in the GA in the league is feasible, I hope. And it would be a great signal of an improved away form. Which is why Sunday's match is just or yet another huuuuuuuuge contest for this squad.
England will have a strong Arsenal contingent in their youth teams over the international break, with the squads having been announced on Friday.
Reiss Nelson, currently on loan at Hoffenheim, has received a call-up for the top England youth side. The 18-year-old has never played at this level before, so it's a great opportunity to make the step up permanently. The u21s face Andorra on 11th October and Scotland on the 16th October.
Eddie Nketiah and Joe Willock haven't quite made the same jump up to the u21 squad yet, despite their good form for the Arsenal academy. There are no spaces opening up in the top team for a striker and central midfielder just yet. Those two are instead part of the u20 squad to face Italy on 11th October.
Like Nelson, Emile Smith Rowe could be making a first appearance in a higher age group over the break. Fresh from his first goal in senior football, the young Arsenal star will be part of the squad to face Portugal on 11th October and Macedonia on 16th October.
Unsurprisingly, there are a large number of Arsenal players called up for the England u18s, as the Gunners are very strong at that level right now.
Arthur Okonkwo, Vontae Daley-Campbell, Bukayo Saka, Folarin Balogun and Tyreece John-Jules make up more than a quarter of the entire England u18 squad to face Sweden on 11th October and the Czech Republic on 15th October.
Miguel Azeez, Yunus Musah and summer signing Sam Greenwood are all part of the u17 squad taking part in a four nations tournament from 12th-16th October. Brazil u17s, USA u17s and Russia u18s will all take part in the mini-competition.
Danny Welbeck has been named in Gareth Southgate's squad for England's Uefa Nations League games against Croatia on Friday, October 12 and Spain on Monday, October 15.
Aaron Ramsey has been called up by Ryan Giggs for Wales' international friendly against Thursday, October 11 and Nations League game against Republic of Ireland on Tuesday, October 16.
Sokratis will also be in Nations League action when Greece host Hungary on Friday, October 12, before travelling to Finland on Monday, October 15.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been named in the Gabon squad for their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against South Sudan on Friday, October 12 and Tuesday, October 16.
Alex Iwobi could also be in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying action, as Nigeria face Libya on Friday, October 12 and Monday, October 15, while Mohamed Elneny completes our African continent, having been called up for Egypt's qualifiers against Swaziland on Friday, October 12 and Tuesday, October 16.
Lucas Torreira has been included in Uruguay's squad for their international friendlies against Korea Republic on Friday, October 12 and Japan on Tuesday, October 16.
Takuma Asano is likely to feature in that game too, after Japan's friendly against Panama on Friday, October 12, while David Ospina has been named in Colombia's squad for their games against the United States on Friday, October 12 and Costa Rica on Monday, October 15.
Granit Xhaka, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Henrikh Mkhitaryan could still be called up, with Switzerland and Armenia yet to confirm their Nations League squads for this month's fixtures.
With the benefit of hindsight I feel even more strongly that the handling of the two keepers has been as good as could have been hoped for from the new gaffer. He's encouraged great form from both players.
Clearly such a smart inspiring coach would want as strong a squad as possible.
Although it is highly unlikely I still hope to see a CM of Ramsey & Torreira at some point, during the Xmas crunch etc. And to see Ramsey re-sign. I'm more optimist about seeing Maitland-Niles fit and ready to play in the last few group games of the EL when perhaps more opportunities to start will be available for the younger players.
I am out of my depth here but I do wonder if the new gaffer will try a 433 similar to Germany in 2014 or Chelsea today with Özil up and roaming from the left, to be fair I did wonder if the old gaffer would ever copy that Germany team too.
We did see a 343 which Young Pep found interesting, though I can't remember exactly when he said that, probably in the aftermath of City's defeat in the FA Cup SF and the comprehensive performance against the champions in the final. In the 343 Özil would be 'right' and Sanchez 'left'?
Özil has been on the right in the current 4231, swapping with the centre player, sometimes with the opposite player. These variations are encouraging to me, there could indeed be a lot more to come from the attack. I wonder if we'll see Özil start from the left? The rebuild at the top was impressing last season and looks even better with a fit and firing Lacazette free from his injury niggles last autumn and winter.
But as always for me CM is the key, who will be this new team's general? The new senior CM is my front runner, though I guess he his relatively inexperienced and also new to the league.
< encouraged great form from the circumstances of Cech approaching the end of a legendary career and the new arrival Leno hoping to follow in his rival's footsteps.
Two Arsenal keepers kept a clean sheet in Europe this week. Heh.
"while he is undoubtedly skillful in places I don't think his played well for a full 90 minutes in any of this month's games.
I still feel he is held to a higher standard than other players when I have seen the same from quite a few in our team so far this season. For example Lichtsteiner's best performance has come at left-back, so far as a right back he has been patchy and when he can't keep up with his opponent he fouls them, risking a yellow card and putting pressure on the team. Guendouzi has been patchy, but everyone is raving about him. Torriera looks promising but he is not a significant upgrade on Xhaka. It just feels like the new boys are given a free pass on the basis that anything new is good, while the old boys are unfairly scrutinised. Iwobi is still a young player and it is only recently that he is getting a consistent run in the side. I accept that he is not there yet, but there are definite signs of improvement, which should be celebrated.
I don't get this negative view of Mustafi, yes he has made a few high profile errors, but he has also had many solid games. He needs to play alongside a more experienced defender but due to injuries he has had to take the lead when he is not quite ready. I found it interesting at the last home game that Rob Holding made several poor passes, but the guy next to me thought it was Mustafi and was berating the latter for it, despite me pointing out that it was actually Holding not Mustafi. He was delighted when Mustafi then made an error to reinforce his negative stereotype. It seems that once people have decided what they think of a player they only notice the things that support their view and are unwilling to give the benefit of the doubt and allow the player to grow and improve. Donkey Adams would not have made it in the current climate.
There is nothing that aggravates me more than giving away a needless free kick. Mustafi does it all to regularly. He's not a bad player, but he is a stupid player.
The opinions on Mustafi sums him up. A good defender who is prone to inexplicably amateurish gaffs. He has had some really brilliant games which only goes to mistify why he hasn't addressed the errors of judgement (which I think is what annoys most) that have often proved costly.
Fans will give the newbies like Sokratis an easy ride but Mustafi has been established enough that the jury is no longer out.
Passenal, new lads should be given a free pass to a certain extent as they are bedding in. As far as fans going mad over Matteo etc I think it's the potential they see that gets them excited rather than a current critic about them.
Remember Alex has already had this excitement about him as he has shown his potential in spades. He is now being judged on continuous improvement rather than raw talent.
I already know he can run at players and go past them for fun however if he is getting tackled he needs to pass the ball early before again trying to take players on again otherwise he just becomes another Alexis Brilliant one minute and a liability the next.
Another thing that really grates me is a player standing and watching an opposing player run past them without the ball and not covering the run. This sometimes goes unnoticed as you tend to watch the ball. In the next couple of games watch Alex if he stops doing this then I'll vote for him myself as like I say I do like him and want him to do well. I do believe he will improve and also think he will start to score on a regular basis but to become a natural first team starter he needs to work on his all round game.
On Mustafi I agree with George great defender, really great likeable personality but scares me to death.
FT. Arsenal 2 (Balogun, Flaherty) West Ham 1 (Alese).
Arsenal U18 v West Ham: Okonkwo; Daley-Campbell, McGuiness, Spencer-Adams, Lopez; M. Smith, Clarke; Greenwood, Coyle, Musah; Balogun. Subs: Hein, Swanson, Cottrell, Alebiousu, Flaherty.
No sign of it anywhere Ian.
Its alright George it's the comment just above where I said I'd lost it. Maybe it didn't come up straight away or maybe I'm just going mad.
Booger. One of those daft free kicks talked of earlier let them back in as well.
If you're thinking clearly, surely you'd never make that foul, especially when opposition's open play finishing has been ropey.
Unless it's already a done thing, may still be a possibility for Mou to save himself if it clicks with him after today he'd be better going on the attack.
It looked very on right from start of second half with all the attackers out there and the gamble/necessity to go nearly all out.
Maybe Newc tired, maybe doubts set in with them or they were caught in that weird zone of not knowing whether to push on or try protect. Also they had one great chance and a couple more opportunities. Hurt them having very little on bench as well. Atsu was atrocious.
Thankfully, I'm not sure he can change his spots at all.
Can't believe it if it's the case that we were 45 mins from being free of the Mou scourge, possibly forever, and now he may still have a chance.
Interesting to see Shearer on MOTD actually coming out & justifiably criticising Anthony Taylor for his inept performance yesterday. Especially so, as my understanding (from a Positively lite blog) was that the BBC had been instructed by the PL not to do so.
Perhaps with the advent of VAR attitudes are changing.

The Payne effect is a particular feature of the stress–strain behaviour of rubber, especially rubber compounds containing fillers such as carbon black. It is named after the British rubber scientist A. R. Payne, who made extensive studies of the effect (e.g., Payne 1962). The effect is sometimes also known as the Fletcher-Gent effect, after the authors of the first study of the phenomenon (Fletcher & Gent 1953).

The effect is observed under cyclic loading conditions with small strain amplitudes, and is manifest as a dependence of the viscoelastic storage modulus on the amplitude of the applied strain. Above approximately 0.1% strain amplitude, the storage modulus decreases rapidly with increasing amplitude. At sufficiently large strain amplitudes (roughly 20%), the storage modulus approaches a lower bound. In that region where the storage modulus decreases the loss modulus shows a maximum. The Payne effect depends on the filler content of the material and vanishes for unfilled elastomers.

Physically, the Payne effect can be attributed to deformation-induced changes in the material's microstructure, i.e., to breakage and recovery of weak physical bonds linking adjacent filler clusters. Since the Payne effect is essential for the frequency and amplitude-dependent dynamic stiffness and damping behaviour of rubber bushings, automotive tires and other products, constitutive models to represent it have been developed in the past (e.g., Lion et al. 2003). Similar to the Payne effect under small deformations is the Mullins effect that is observed under large deformations.

After being sold the idea of travelling to the Dominican Republic to work as a teacher at a particular school in the summer of 2017, Alwyn Allen jumped on the opportunity.
He told The Gleaner recently that he did an interview at that country's embassy in St Andrew and was given the green light to travel there. However, after spending roughly eight months in that country teaching English without a permit, Allen is back in Jamaica to warn fellow countrymen to beware of such opportunities.
"I went with two ladies from Jamaica. Before we went, the people from the school said they would take care of permits, insurance, apartments, and so on," Allen recounted. "They had us working without identification cards and permits for months. I was told one day that immigration was taking away Haitians. I didn't want them to mistake me for a Haitian and throw me into Haiti. So, I went to the principal to complain, and we got ID's and insurance, but no permits. They asked me to teach other subjects, so I ended up teaching science for them."
He continued: "I was being paid US$500, and they were to pay me extra for the science, but they never paid me. I complained that it was not fair, and the principal threw me out of the apartment on March 20, 2018, and said I had to go home. I am worried somebody may check my file at other embassies and, in their mind, conclude that I stayed overtime in a country without a permit. But it was not my fault," he insisted.
The Gleaner spoke to Thomas Marley, Jamaican ambassador to the Dominican Republic, who said that Allen visited the embassy after he ran into difficulties. For protection, he implored Jamaicans heading to the Dominican Republic for work to ensure that they register with the embassy when they arrive in that country.
He disclosed that the laws in the Dominican Republic allow for a person to work for months without a permit. "You can come here as a visitor, get a job, and stay while your permit is being processed. Once your documents are filed, they don't trouble you." Marley explained.
"However, you should register with the (Jamaican) embassy so we can help you," he advised. "The Jamaican teachers working here were never registered. We had no prior knowledge [of Allen] until he had a problem. But, I will be following it up after the Easter holidays to make sure that the other Jamaicans are legal and not getting into trouble," he assured.


Need: Jerusalem is a city fraught with violence, segregation and inequalities. Challenging yet is that each of the three Jerusalem sectors live in separate, alternative realities, including separate political institutions, separate school-systems, separate newspapers, even speaking different languages.
Response: 0202: Points of View from Jerusalem is an online, grassroots, local news platform founded in March 2015 by a group of Jerusalem-based activists to provide a greatly needed service in Jerusalem – to allow the different sectors of Jerusalem—Haredi (ultra-Orthodox), East (Palestinian Arab), and West (secular/religious Jews) Jerusalem—to access humanizing news and information from, and about, one another. 0202 aims to bridge lingual, cultural and institutional gaps in the hopes of enhancing communication, promoting tolerance and fostering understanding between the various communities in Jerusalem. 0202 believes that access to differing perspectives and narratives is a key step in peace-building.
Method: We currently run a website and three Facebook Pages: 0202- A View from East Jerusalem and 0202 - A View from Haredi Jerusalem in Hebrew, as well as 0202 – Points of View from Jerusalem in English. Each page provides insight into one of Jerusalem's three distinct communities, providing readers with access to translated updates from its leaders, public organizations, and media outlets, without commentary. 0202 seeks to enable all residents to receive equal representation in media, utilizing social media to strengthen and amplify marginal voices, and to give voice to all perspectives and viewpoints.
Staff: Our organization in run by nearly 30 students-volunteers and activists, coming from all across the political and religious spectrum—Israeli, Palestinian, right and left wing, British, American, Haredi, religious and secular Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and Druze.
"0202 in the Community" is a collaborative events program that aims to partner with other Jerusalem organizations to create, run and host culturally-competent event, educational opportunities, and tours available and accessible to all Jerusalem residents.
0202 seeks to engage readers not only through social media platforms, but beyond the computer screen, in cross-cultural events that allow residents to encounter "the other". The mission of 0202 in the Community is to enable residents in Jerusalem to see and experience the life and culture of others in the city in lectures, panels, courses, and guided tours, and to generate new partnerships with international and local Jerusalemite cultural institutions and organizations that promote our offline work.
Our offline programming - events, tours, and educational activities - allow our readers to get first-hand exposure to the topics that come up in our posts, from local politics to daily life.
We offer educational and informative opportunities to elementary, middle and high school students, participants in pre-army and post-army programs, youth movements, communal living organizations, newspapers, colleges, political organizations and more. All of our programs use our library of posts and unique methodology - seeing Jerusalem through many points of view - as a base educational philosophy that has proven successful. With all 3 local Facebooks pages up and running - East, West, and Haredi Jerusalem - 0202 is now representing and reaching all audiences in Jerusalem, while the English page works hand in hand with the educational department in producing activities based on the multi-perspectival posts translated on the English page.
Our events are hosted by Jerusalem venues as in-kind donations, and are carried out in cooperation with other Jerusalem-based cultural venues or organizations, employing joint resources. These include Jerusalem institutions such as Beit Avichai, the School for Eastern Music in Musrara, Jerusalem Cinematheque, the HaMiffal cultural venue, Tmol Shilshom cafe, and others.
Our tours offer residents tours of places and people they normally wouldn't come across, led by people from the community being learned about, in any of the three major Jerusalemite languages - Hebrew, Arabic, and English. For example, we recently developed a dual narrative tour in Hebrew and Arabic along the railroad park - in the Jewish neighborhood of Katamonim and the Arab neighborhood of Beit Safafa.
0202 as an organization aims to enhance cross-cultural communication and promote tolerance between Jerusalem's diverse and often segregated communities. Until now, we have done so by providing Jerusalemites with a local news platform in which members of various communities can access humanizing news and updates about each other.
With the support of the Natan Jerusalem Renewal grant, 0202 has succeeded in expanding this access beyond social media, allowing people to learn about and experience one another through experiential programming. There are many organizations that run tours, like Ir Amim in East Jerusalem for example, that have a more geopolitical focus. We offer events and tours that are led by and hosted by locals for locals, a more "anthropological" "Humans of Jerusalem" approach.
We believe in pluralism and a multi-perspective jerusalem, allowing each voice to be heard as it is part of the fabric of jerusalem. In classes and sessions given to a wide variety of organizations - including BINA - The Secular Yeshiva, Onward Israel, Bnei Akiva, Ramah Israel, MASA Israel, the Kivunim gap year program, Young Judaea, and more - constant attention is paid to understanding the other perspectives in Jerusalem beyond the target groups accompanied with explicit instruction that these opinions don't need to be agreed with. 0202 is creating a new way to teach about Jerusalem - a pluralistic Jerusalem that sees all of its residents.
In Fall 2017-Spring 2018, we hosted or participated in around 25 events, with some 1000 participants. These included 3 panels, 3 intercultural Hanukah-Christmas events, 10 educational activities and lectures, a national conference on social media, 5 tours, and 5 large-scale events that we hosted. These were all done on a volunteer basis by the staff. This year, we have managed to double those figures - 20 tours both private and open to the public, 22 lectures and educational activities, 4 large-scale public events, engaging over 1,800 participants across events and activities in three languages- Hebrew, Arabic, and English (see benchmark question).
Since it began offering tours, 0202 has redefined how tours should be undertaken in Jerusalem - instead of "experts" we bring residents to share their space and stories. This is a grassroots approach to tourism. We are happy to say that many organizations are following suit - Open Holidays and Ir Amim have changed the way they give tours as a result.
We are unique in several ways - one, we put locals at the center of our activities. Two, we offer tours in all of the neighborhoods and regions of Jerusalem, not just the historic and religious Old City. Third, we cater our activities to the audience, able to bring speakers that present in any of the three Jerusalem languages - Hebrew, Arabic, and English. Lastly, we offer cross-cultural tours, offering multiple perspectives in one tour. One example is the Eid-Al Adha and Yom Kippur tour - a joint tour led by a Muslim tour guide and a Haredi tour guide. The first half of the tour focused on the Eid-al Adha festivities at Damascus Gate and the Muslim Quarter, and the second half focused on Selichot (High Holiday Atonement at the Wailing Wall) in the Jewish Quarter and the Kotel. The tour guides showed life and tradition in these intertwining neighborhoods, and talked about how one person's decorations served as another person's threat, or how similar the holidays are. The tour drew secular and religious Jews, Muslims, Christians and Haredi participants.
Lastly, our educational department allows the points of view we bring online to come to life offline. 0202 has done programming for groups as politically and demographically diverse as teen tours from Bnei Akiva and Ramah Israel, pre-army programs for Israelis, to professional local and foreign journalists in coordination with the Jerusalem Press Club. 0202 ran an 11-session class on Jerusalem for Bina, a pluralistic Jewish learning center, and ran programming for leadership programs such as the Heseg Scholars Fund. 0202 uses its material from our many pages to assert our expertise and act as a resource for many different groups. The fact that we continuously are rehired by groups who use us, and are also referred to by those same groups, is a testament to our success.
Please see the question on benchmarks. We believe the first stage of 0202 in the Community has been a resounding success, both for us as an organization in developing and executing an entirely new project with the involvement of all volunteer staff, and externally, with great interest from our community and the diaspora in our work, and a high retention rate for programming.
"0202 in the Community" is a collaborative events program that aims to partner with other Jerusalem organizations to create, run and host culturally-competent event, educational opportunities, and tours available and accessible all Jerusalem residents.
lectures, panels, courses, and guided tours.
Since its founding in 2015, 0202 staff members have been invited to participate in numerous panels, lectures, youth activities and nationwide conferences. 0202 seeks to expand and develop this aspect of our work in the upcoming year by establishing a yearly plan and hiring a project coordinator to lead all of our community outreach endeavors.
Events – we offer educational and informative opportunities to elementary, middle and high school students, participants in pre-army and post-army programs, youth movements, communal living organizations, newspapers, colleges, political organizations. Our events are hosted by Jerusalem venues as in-kind donations, and are carried out in cooperation with other Jerusalem-based cultural venues or organizations, employing joint resources. These include Jerusalem institutions such as the Jerusalem Cinematheque, the HaMiffal cultural venue, Tmul Shilshom cafe, and others.
Tours – we offer residents tours of places and people they normally wouldn't come across, led by people from the community being learned about. For example, in August we led an Eid Al-Adha/High Holidays tour with a Muslim tour guide and a Haredi tour guide. Language and subject of the tour is based on the participants (we ran a pilot of the tour, it was sold out within hours, and opened a second one which also filled up. 80 people came, with a 100 person waiting list). This December we hosted a Hanukkah tour in the Jewish neighborhood of Nakhlaot for a group of 25 Arab students from East Jerusalem in Arabic. The tour was led jointly by a Jewish tour guide and an Arab tour guide (a partnership with Kulna, an East Jerusalemite nonprofit, and Open Holidays).
In a sense, out events and tours allow our readers to get first-hand exposure to the topics that come up in our posts – for example – the previously mentioned Eid al Adha/high holidays tour.
Educational Partnerships – we team up with other organizations to offer educational opportunities based on our Facebook pages. We have recently partnered up with the Jerusalem Press Club to build and offer a specialized journalism course for journalists based in Jerusalem. Another example is Birthright, which recently contacted us in order to create educational programming about Jerusalem for birthright participants before and during their trips to Israel.
0202 as an organization aims to enhance cross-cultural communication and promote tolerance between Jerusalem's diverse and often segregated communities. Until now, it has done so by providing Jerusalemites with a local news platform in which members of various communities can access humanizing news and updates about each other.
0202 seeks to expand this access beyond social media, and allow people to learn about and experience one another. There are many organizations that run tours, like Ir Amim in East Jerusalem for example, that have a more geo-political focus. We seek to offer events and tours that are led by and hosted by locals for locals, a more "anthropological" "Humans of Jerusalem" approach. For example, we led a high holiday Selichot tour in the old city, guided by a local Haredi man, who showed participants how he (as a Litvak Haredi man) celebrates. We recently partnered up with a Chabad rabbi who hosted a group of secular and religious Jews at his house in commemoration of the Hassidic observance of Nittel Nacht, a tradition that developed in Eastern Europe on Christmas Eve. Our Hanukah tour in Nakhlaot for Palestinian students from East Jerusalem is another example – the tour was led jointly by a local Jewish tour guide and an Arab tour guide.
So far, we have hosted or participated in around 25 events, with some 1000 participants. These include in 3 panels, 3 inter-cultural Hanukah-Christmas events, 10 educational activities and lectures, a national conference on social media, 5 tours and 5 large-scale events that we hosted. These were all done on a volunteer basis by the staff.
Our most recent event, "An Evening With Jerusalem's Haredi Press – a Panel with Leading Editors of the Mispacha and HaModia newspapers" – attracted a full house. We uploaded the live video of the event to our pages, and an additional 1000 were reached.
We are proud that our tours are offered in three languages. We look forward to participating in panels in Arabic once our final Facebook page is launched, 0202 – A View from West Jerusalem (in Arabic).
In addition, we offer cross-cultural tours, offering multiple perspectives in one tour. For example, the Eid-Al Adha and Yom Kippur tour was a joint tour led by a Muslim tour guide and a Haredi tour guide. The first half of the tour focused on the Eid-al Adha festivities at Damascus Gate and the Muslim Quarter, and the second half focused on Selichot (High Holiday Atonement at the Wailing Wall) in the Jewish Quarter and the Kotel. The tour guides showed life and tradition in these intertwining neighborhoods, and talked about how one person's decorations served as another person's threat, how one person's synagogue is another person's settlement. The tour included secular and religious Jews, Muslims, Christians and Haredi people.
We seek to see residents from all sectors attend our events, and offer events in at least three languages – Arabic, Hebrew, and English.
100-200 participants per month - We hope to reach at least 100-200 participants per month in 0202 events, with different event aimed to include all of Jerusalem's sectors.
Increase the number of events in each category – panels, lectures, educational activities and tours.
10 cross-sectorial events in 2018 - Since our inception, 0202 has participated in national panels, lectures, radio and television interviews and has even been the basis for academic research. We hope to see our participation in a least 10 more cross-sectorial events this year.
30-100 participants in course for journalists based in Jerusalem (a joint initiative with the Jerusalem Press Club).

Eros - Screening in the New York United Film Fest - October 23
a short film by Andrew Blum
Screening as part of the New York United Film Festival
prior to Seeking Happily Ever After on October 23 - 4:30pm
Eros, a short film (about 13 minutes) by Andrew Blum, is a poetic look at the nature of love through the eyes of a little boy. Alex fulfills the dream of every child who's played nervously in their room while parents argue loudly in another room. One day when his squabbling Mom and Dad are at work, he invents a machine that will make them fall back in love. The story continues when Alex, now grown up, works in a kind of marrige therapy practice with his successful machine.
Writer/director Andrew Blum had a few thoughts about the film.
I find it difficult to condense my feelings about this film into a few paragraphs of text.
My first instinct is to acknowledge the extent to which the film is the collaborative process of many minds and creative energies. I can think of no better way to make a film than to bring the feelings and talents of those I respect most into one exhibitive whole.
On a personal level--both emotional and spiritual--this film reflects a process; I am 21 years old and this moment in my life has been the hardest for me thus far. Struggling to find my identity, reflecting upon and understanding the past, and living in the present are how I would categorize this moment of my development. This process not only conceived the film, but was also augmented by the film. Writing, for me (at least for now), has been my vehicle for self-awareness. I found that in this sense--the film was extremely successful.
For me, this film is about the relationship between past and present. I would recognize the film as successful (in a less egocentric sense than before) if audiences ask two questions of themselves after viewing:
1) How do I love (what does it look like)?
2) Why do I love the way I do?
The feature at the screening, Seeking Happily Ever After, is a documentary that examines how millions of 30-something single women are busting cultural norms and redefining what "happily ever after" looks like.

Triple Tragedy Puts Blog on Hiatus
Hello Fellow Arts Lovers, 2013 seems to be the year for things interfering with this blog and it's ending with a special dose of bad luck - I was robbed, my elderly but dearly missed cat passed away and then my laptop went on the fritz just to complete the trio of misfortune.

Electronic Psychedelica | Ryan Summers: Undo Influence (Independent / 23 October 2020)
Electronic Psychedelica: Ryan Summers: Undo Influence (Independent / 23 October 2020) Stream It On Spotify Ryan Summers is a multi-talented musician and producer based in Wisconsin. Undo Influence is an inventive and intriguing album of electronic music with a psychedelic twist, and an unusually inventive originality. The music is strongly rhythmic, and he approaches it by developing layers of sound. Chasm begins with acoustic guitar that sounds familiar, then veers off into a spacey mode with effects and atmospheric sounds. Summers' vocals are urgent and expressive. Curious Story is a highlight of the release with its cool electronic effects and eerie vocals. It's a spooky and unsettling song that demonstrates Summers' talent for soundscaping. If it reminds me of anything, it's David Bowie's Ashes to Ashes. Follow You delves even further into a spacey mode, something like an acid-tinged carnival. The musical mood gets into heavy electronic metal in Holy Criminal, a

Q: Is there a way to get pg_dump to exclude a specific sequence? I want to exclude a sequence from my pg_dump command which is putting the output into a plain file.
Command: /Library/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin/pg_dump --host localhost --port 5433 --username xxx --format plain --clean --inserts --verbose --file /Users/xxx/documents/output/SYSTEM_admin_20131126015325.sql --exclude-table public.table1 --exclude-table public.table2 mydatabase

I know there are switches for tables which i am using above and that you can enable/disable database objects in the tar format in combination with pg_restore as stated in the pg_dump documentation but I will not be using pg_restore.
Many Thanks
Graham

A: There are two cases:

*

*The sequence to exclude is owned by a table you're also dumping (typical case: SERIAL column).
See: Dump a table without sequence table in postgres
Short answer: no, the sequence can't be left aside.

*The sequence is not owned by a dumped table. Then it can be excluded with the --exclude-table switch as if it was a table.
From pg_dump documentation:

-T table
  --exclude-table=table
Do not dump any tables matching the table pattern.

The pattern is interpreted according to the same rules as for -t

And about -t:

-t table
  --table=table
Dump only tables (or views or sequences or foreign tables) matching table

A: If the sequence is owned by a table you can exclude both the sequence and the table using -T, such as:
pg_dump -T table -T table_id_seq

Why Altice USA Jumped More Than 10% Today
MotleyFool
Nov. 5, 2021, 03:49 PM
Shares of cable company Altice USA (NYSE: ATUS) soared more than 10% on Friday following Thursday's post-close release of third-quarter sales and earnings that were better than expected.For the three months ending in September, Altice USA earned $690.6 million in operating income -- or $0.58 per share -- on sales of $2.57 billion. Both were up on a year-over-year basis, by 5.8% and 25.7%, respectively. The crux of today's rally, however, stems from the depth of the earnings beats. Analysts were only modeling profits of $0.52 per share, and revenue of $2.5 billion.Image source: Getty Images.Continue reading

Death Knell Tolls for Coupe TN034G
Published: August 18, 2020 (Updated: May 27, 2021 ) in Australian News by 1news.info.
Local Derwent Valley tourism operators Tassie Bound Adventure Tours were hit with another devastating blow earlier this month when they were advised Sustainable Timbers Tasmania were proposing to close the Styx Road, lock out tourism operators and block access to the World Heritage listed Valley of the Giants for cable logging. Fiona Weaver from Tassie […]
Local Derwent Valley tourism operators Tassie Bound Adventure Tours were hit with another devastating blow earlier this month when they were advised Sustainable Timbers Tasmania were proposing to close the Styx Road, lock out tourism operators and block access to the World Heritage listed Valley of the Giants for cable logging.
Fiona Weaver from Tassie Bound Adventure Tours advised: "On Saturday (1 August) my husband Liam and I were informed that Sustainable Timbers plans to close the Styx Road in mid-August to proceed with steep cable clear fell logging of 'coupe TN034G' which is located 4 kms down the Styx Road within a 10 km drive of Maydena."
Tasmanian Times understands Parks and Wildlife Service advised tourists and tourism operators that Sustainable Timber Tasmania planned to close Styx road in mid-August for clear fell logging for weeks, if not months.
Two days later, 3 August 2020, Guy Barnett, Minister for Resources issued a media release saying that:
"STT does not harvest Giant Trees and has no immediate plans to harvest any coupe adjacent to the Styx Rd, or close the road."
However, on viewing the STT online interactive map viewer it is clearly evident that TN034G is adjacent to the Styx Road.
Styx Road is the tourist road into the Valley of the Giants. A further 12km past this coupe are the tallest trees in the Southern Hemisphere and worldwide, topped only by California's redwoods.
When Tasmanian Times asked STT to please explain the disparity between their own documentation and the words from the Minister who said "… has no immediate plans to harvest any coupe adjacent to the Styx Rd," a spokesperson repeated exactly the same words in the media release and added:
READ: Queensland island community hits back at name change petition
"Immediate harvest referred to statements made by others that the Styx Road was to be closed in August." (emphasis ours)
Just before arriving at TN034G, also bordering Styx Road, are other STT coupes that have been clear felled and burned in the past two years.
Picture taken 9 August 2020 of the coupe adjacent to TN034G which also borders Styx Road en route to the Valley of the Giants.
The coupe pictured above was previously named TN034A and is indicative of the fate now awaiting TN034G. These coupes will in time be regenerated into a native mono culture forest, never again destined to be ancient rain forest.
Forest Defenders from the Bob Brown Foundation once again brought attention to the Styx Valley earlier this month.
Along with volunteers from The Wilderness Society, The Tree Projects, Forest Watch and Extinction Rebellion they welcomed hundreds of visitors to TN034G over the past two weekends to better explain and enable members of the community to see for themselves up close this untouched 23.86 hectares of ancient rainforest.
In the STT 'Three Year Wood Production Plan 2020/21 to 2022/23, published July 2020, it indicates this coupe will be clear felled using cable logging. The plan suggests the composition of the coupe is 3600 tonnes of pulp wood (wood chip), 1000 cubic metres of veneer and 1000 cubic metres of peeler logs. There is no mention of the estimated 25% of rain forest or of the specialty timbers myrtle and sassafras in this 23.86 hectare coupe.
READ: New way to dob in lockdown breachers
Some 60% of residue will be left on the forest floor and will result in a regeneration burn.
In the publicly-available STT documentations there is no reference to the body of Eucalypt regnans trees that are over 500 years old such as the recently discovered 42m high Charon* and the giant tree ferns. Nor is their mention of the rich rainforest undergrowth which is home to some twenty-one species of native birds including the grey goshawk, masked owl, wedge-tailed eagle and a myriad of mammals including the pademelon, potoroo, eastern quoll, spotted-tail quoll, Tasmanian devil, echidna and the long-tailed mouse.
Premier Gutwein says 'if' harvesting (clear felling) were to take place in this area
In the media release from Premier Gutwein, 7 August, four days on from Barnett's media release, he stated:
"If at some point in the future, harvesting were to take place in this area, STT advises they would work proactively with neighbouring land managers to provide alternative access for the Big Tree Reserve, and also to minimise any impact on local tourism operators."
"My government recognises that both the tourism and forestry industries are crucial for our economy, for local communities and for our workers, and I am confident that both sectors can continue to successfully coexist."
Following the Barnett and then Gutwein media releases, a Bob Brown Foundation spokesperson advised:
"A wave of public outrage has obviously caused a stay of execution. But that is all."
"From the Premier's letter logging is still Sustainable Timber Tasmania's intention. The Forest Practices Plan for this coupe is finalised and ready to go. The blue tags and the 2020 plan show TN034G is definitely on the logging schedule for imminent flattening of native forests," said BBF.
READ: Tradies urged not to delay return to work amid major labour shortages
At the Styx open day Sunday 16 August, Bob Brown himself confirmed;
"So much for the tourism that the government says it supports; 35% of jobs in Tasmania are in tourism and hospitality, and point nine of 1% is in logging."
"A lot of people think it's the other way around," said Brown.

This STT road pictured above was established in March 2020 into TN034G, a coupe that Barnett and Gutwein says will not imminently be logged. STT did not deny that the road – approximately 700m of well constructed and compacted quarry stone – cost around $500,000 to establish.
Also at the Styx open day 16 August was Charles Wooley who has been reporting on the Styx Valley for some twenty odd years. Wooley spoke to the 150 or more audience on the day and said;
"We need more people in on this. We should get 10,000 people together.
We did it during the Vietnam War. This is bigger than Vietnam.
This is the end of the world for us …" said Wooley.
*Charon, named by The Tree Projects, was only discovered in late 2019 by Jack O'Hare and Annie Ford.
It is significant because it is the first Giant Tree to be seen on the Styx Road and it is only 10m off the road. Charon -42.78706, 146.58119 42m high, 220 cubic meters, 5.3m diameter.

Khayyam: How to merge animations?
The skeletons do not match. First, the body proportions are off, especially if converting between male/female or realistic/stylized characters. And secondly, the non-obvious bones are often arranged completely differently. By obvious bones I mean the ones like armbones, shins and so on, that connect two visible joints. Non-obvious bones are hidden and their joints are not immediately visible - like backbone or shoulders. Thus the exact number and placement of such bones may vary, depending on how realistic and fluid motion is needed and how it is achieved.
The bone orientations do not match. Even for bones that are perfectly aligned, like arms, the local coordinate systems can be very different and thus the transformations from one skeleton cannot be immediately carried over to another.
Create one-to-one links between the well-defined bones of each skeleton - i.e. legs, shins, arms, forearms and heads. These function as anchors for matching body movements via IK solver.
Pick rootmost joints of matched bones, i.e. hips and shoulders as anchor point pairs.
Adjust chains, starting from rootmost, as closely as possible to anchor points using IK solver.
As you can see, it basically works, although some constraints on joint movement would be nice.
Before you begin, be sure that you have learned the essay question twice. Then you come to know what you want to do. Mark the most essential concepts or phrases in the topic to help you stay focused on solving the question. Professors use specific keywords in essay topics to say what they ask you to do. For instance, an essay topic that demands you to "describe" a case will be separate from an essay topic that asks you to "argue" a situation. Be sure that you know the keyword in each essay topic you read. Explain: Insert the benefit and damage, powers and faults, etc. Balance: Explain the relationships and differences within two or more points. Don't ignore to tell why the comparison is helpful. Difference: Discuss how two or more things are unique or separate between those. Don't forget to tell why the difference is beneficial. Define: State what something involves, effects, scores, etc. Note List features or habits of the concept. You may also need to review something, such as an essay subject that asks "explain the main issues that directed to the Western Revolution." Talk: This is more logical. You usually start by explaining something and then give debates for or against it. You may want to explain the benefits or disadvantages of your point. Judge: Give the pros and cons, plus and minus for a case. You may be required to decide a comment for relevant support or decide evidence for weaknesses. Explain: Tell how or why that happened, or support your view on that. Fix: Usually held for more clear or real essays. You may be asked to include proof and study to create a case for a special position or set of data. Abstract: Usually, this involves to list the main ideas or issues of a topic. It could also ask you to give the main plans in order to then fully explain them. Most essay topics will not ask for clear summary without anything else.


Blrt was created and developed entirely in house at Thinkun.
Blrt enables users to talk, point and draw over documents, images and websites in order to get everyone on the same page in cloud-based conversation. These Blrt conversations are asynchronous, meaning you no longer need the entire team to be available at the same time to keep your collaborations progressing.
The development of Blrt included mobile apps on iOS and Android, as well as branding and the development and execution of a comprehensive digital marketing strategy.
The cornerstone of this strategy is a responsive website that incorporates mix in video and explanatory imagery to demonstrate typical use cases. The site was built with WordPress and delivers a superb customer experience that is standardised across all devices and screen sizes.
