Fast-casual concept Honeygrow will close five locations this month, a rare stumble for a rapidly growing brand that had been an investor darling in recent years.
As of November 16, the chain will close three Honeygrow locations Chicago, one in Washington, D.C., and one Minigrow, the company's smaller concept, in New York. After the closures, the Philadelphia-based chain will have 28 locations, primarily concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic.
CEO Justin Rosenberg said there are no immediate plans to open new Honeygrow or Minigrow locations. However, he said the company does plan to grow again — after taking some time to shore up operations.
"While we still plan to open restaurants in the future, we wanted to take this time to incubate our ideas to better fit those future locations and leverage our existing resources such as our newly opened Test Kitchen in Philadelphia to explore new ways on how to grow smart," he told NRN in an email.
The seasonal and stir-fry-focused fast-casual concept has grown swiftly since its 2012 debut and had raised $70 million through several rounds of funding. Philadelphia-based Miller Investments led many of the larger funding rounds. The latest, which occurred in December of 2017, was to be used, in part, for new-unit development. Honeygrow was named a Hot Concept by NRN in 2016 and Rosenberg was named to the NRN Power List this year.
The move comes at a time of increasing competition in the fast-casual space.
"Honeygrow saw excellent growth in the past few years — but with growth, comes many learning experiences. We came to the realization that we had some work to do, and instead of ignoring the challenges at hand, we made the difficult decision to close any locations where those challenges were most apparent. We believe that this will allow us the opportunity to take the time needed to truly perfect our operations from a training, culture, and performance standpoint.
"My key motivation for this brand isn't just to scale, but to truly make it a sustainable business for years to come," he said.


idk did i ask about ur opionion nab?
next time when u talk respect or stfu okay?
Only wasting your life as "pro"
hello ill ask if still work dat here must be games from the new season?i got like 6k games i can find these records in my games.

A new list will be set mid-november, until then, keep practicing!

"The Impact of Trade Liberalization in the Presence of Political Distortions" (with Sebastian Jävervall) .pdf
Political distortions are prevalent in many developing countries and can imply substantial productivity losses. Theory is ambiguous as to whether openness to trade amplifies or reduces the effects of such distortions. This paper shows that trade liberalization in India decreased the value of firms' political connections, suggesting a reduction in political distortions. First, using variation in firms' connections stemming from political turnover, we identify that political connections increase firms' performance by 10-20%. Second, we evaluate how the value of political connections changes after India's externally imposed tariff reductions, using a triple-difference and difference-in-discontinuities design. We find that political connections become substantially less valuable when tariffs on input goods are reduced. Our findings imply that access to international markets reduces firms' dependence on political connections to source input goods, thus reducing the distortionary effect of such connections. The effects are stronger in more corrupt states, where baseline political distortions are expected to be higher. Our results suggest a new margin for gains from trade in the presence of political distortions, through a direct effect of trade liberalization on the prevalence of such distortions.
"Importing Gender Equality"
Gender equality remains low in many developing countries and can partly be explained by social norms. In this paper, I investigate whether trade and, in particular import, can shift gender norms. Specifically, I study whether trading and interacting with firms in countries with higher gender equality can affect firms' gender composition in India. I construct a global industry-level index of gender equality and exploit India's trade liberalization in the 1990s to study the trade-induced increased exposure to other countries' gender norms. I find that tariff reductions increased the probability of having a female worker only for firms in industries with higher exposure to gender equality. The effect is stronger for firms in industries with higher exposure to gender equality that, to a greater extent, use relationship-specific input goods. Taken together, the results suggest that trade-induced increased exposure to other countries' gender equality can influence firms' gender composition among workers.
"Trade-Induced Protests: Evidence from the Brazilian Trade Liberalization"
This paper examines whether trade liberalization can induce shifts in citizens' willingness to mobilize and participate in protests. Specifically, I study the regional effects of Brazil's trade liberalization in the 1990s. I show that regions that were exposed to larger tariff reductions experienced a relative increase in protests. Protests increased in harder-hit regions almost immediately after the liberalization, and the effect is amplified over time. By studying potential mechanisms, I show that the surge in protests follows the pattern of the trade-induced increase in income inequality and reductions in government spending.
"Breadwinner Backlash: The Gendered Political Consequences of Industrial Decline" (with Richard Clark and Noah Zucker)
"Aid for Whom? – An Empirical Evaluation of the Impact of Aid for Trade"
This study evaluates the impact of the increasing engagement in the categories of aid that constitutes the concept called Aid for Trade. Due to the possibility that aid flows are influenced by recipient countries' characteristics, previous literature has faced difficulties in identifying the causal effect of Aid for Trade. To tackle this, I exploit plausibly exogenous variation in the distribution of Aid for Trade stemming from changes in the political ideology of the governments in donor countries before and after the official establishment of Aid for Trade. I find that Aid for Trade fulfills the stated objectives of helping developing countries to expand trade. Moreover, I show that Aid for Trade is an effective use of aid in terms of the more general goals of aid assistance.

Thanks for a beautiful response and being so honest. I think as writers – whether it is fiction or non-fiction we're all too arduous on ourselves. I believe although that, like your self, when we've got a love of writing this may come through in our words.
Rosenhouse seems reasonably taken with the materialist view of the thoughts, but there are lots of robust refutations to be found within the literature. Off the top of my head, I found Foster's The Immaterial Self and the essays in Koons' and Bealer's The Waning of Materialism to be both cogent and accessible.

I've been actively interviewing and part of the hiring process for engineers, project managers and product owners for the last 8 years. In that time, I've probably hired about 30 people (less if you exclude long-term contractors) to work with me directly, and been a voice at the table for the hiring of about another 20 people. The majority of the people to whom I've given jobs have worked out wonderfully and I'd be happy to work with nearly all of them again.
The people who didn't work out all had one thing in common - we hired them even though someone in the room didn't want to hire them.
Why are people in the room?
The ways that people come to a yes or no answer to that question are varied, and I can only speak for the ways in which I come to that answer. But what I've learned is that when someone says "No, something feels off," we need to listen to that and honor that. If we're going to overrule a person's opinion on a person, they probably shouldn't be in the room to begin with, or their role needs to be more clearly defined.
Why did people say no?
It's a slippery slope when trying to honor people's perceptions and intuitions and also help them see through any unconscious bias they might be having against the interview candidate. This comes back to trusting that the interviewers in the room are the right people and that you as the hiring manager can trust them to give informed and thoughtful opinions. I've made the mistake of saying "Can you give me something more than 'something feels off'?", watched them stumble, and then dismissed their hunch and pulled the hiring trigger. This has never, to date, worked out in my favor.
Trust the people you're interviewing with and then trust the opinions they offer on the candidates.


>Where the hell did I put that?!
>I am of an age when one begins to forget. I am not old, I know that, so don't go complimenting me for all I do and achieve, it is not about that. This is reality. People forget, and the more you do and whisk through, the greater the chance of moving on automatic pilot. And that means losing things. This infuriates me and turns me into a raging harridan. Not pretty.
NOW WHERE THE HELL DID I PUT THAT?
And then weeks, hours or months pass and I recall the gesture and desire, but not the locale. Hence this new notebook idea.
Last summer when I rented the house, I put some fragile things away, there were three hand-made, lemon nesting bowls. I recalled carefully placing them somewhere and then only one month later, they were gone gone and I tore the house apart. Finally Zachary found them in the bottom drawer in a rarely used hall credenza. So this year as I am cleaning, to supposedly write, but really to think about decorating for the winter holidays, I took them back to the credenza, but I took out the notebook and wrote it down. I also noted where I squirreled away a few hundred bucks as I keep losing and finding that. The losing is horrible, but every re-find in funny and exciting.
It scares me–this loss of vigor in my brain and body, although my soul seems pretty much enlivened by age, the other faculties are dimmed. And so I am hopeful this notebook will get me in good habits before I am as wacky as my late-eighties friend, Beati, to whom I gave a notebook. But as she says, "I forget to write in it, then I forget where I put it." So I started today to note the lemon bowls and tiny envelope of money. I promise to write down after the holiday where decorations have landed so we don't have to go on an annual scavenger hunt to find the wreaths upstairs and the lights under the coats in my son's closet.
As long as I believe that every age has a lesson, I can keep forging ahead. Now where did I put my boots, because I need to get out into the sunshine and air out my brain and flex my old legs?
I know that it means I have to stitch up the tear in the old cashmere blanket before it bisects and I have to use the sewing machine. I guess that's where the Ben Franklin aphorism, "A stitch in time, saves nine" emanates. I may now need more than 30 to staunch this rip.
And I have a nightie that is unseemly due to missing buttons, but I don't have kids home now, so sometimes I just wear it gaping. But I know it needs buttons. There is a quilt cover with a safety pin that upbraids me with my laziness because I have not replaced the buttons. My husband has a sweater he wears on weekends dotted with moth holes. I know how to darn, and sew, mend and close up seams, but does anyone know these things now who is not over 50?
My daughter is about to be 24 and is living downtown with us in the loft she grew up in while her apartment is sublet so she can do an unpaid internship working on a film about Hunger in America. (How can you not help support a kid doing that kind of work?) She said the other day, "I really need to sew buttons on this skirt." I know she means, I really need you, mama, to sew these buttons on. But instead I said, "We need to plan a mending night where we take out all the ratty stuff and renovate it so it closes, and looks better." But it seemed so old fashioned.
Maybe that is where we need to go as a country and as a family.
We need to return to mending our fences, our sweaters, our nighties and our relationship with the world.
Maybe our finances need some old fashioned savings and a moratorium on purchases in favor of rummaging through closets and cleaning out drawers to see what treasures lurk in those dark untapped places.
I started saving every five-dollar bill that came into my hands at the beginning of the summer and I now have nearly 500 dollars, that's a hundred crumpled fives stuffed into a big jar. I was going to start a savings account, wait until I got a thousand dollars and then buy a CD, but I think I may use what I saved to give us a little bit of a Christmas. Still it was a fun exercise to see that little bits do add up.
I like the idea of mending. Mending a fragile friendship, mending a crumbling stonewall that just needs the tumbling pile to be reorganized. I love mending the sweaters, closing holes and crocheting a new edge to the fraying cuffs. It makes me feel as if I saved something and I might have a little bit of value left in me.
Perhaps we can introduce mending nights as the new thing across America. Everyone brings a small project to the table: fixing broken table legs or that gaping nightie. I don't want to be the only one doing this, but I bet with the economy in continued free fall, the virtue in mending may begin to seem mighty again.
>Okay, disorganized, but here goes. It's my birthday and raining. I remember that for 20 years it rained every year on my birthday. Then I met this man, my love, to whom I am now married, and it stopped raining. So now when it occasionally rains, that is fine by me.
A great good friend Susan Burks jetted in from SF on her way to trek in Morocco and my lovely big son, all lank and sleepy eyes, trained in from the foothills of the Adirondacks and college. Susan is off at tea and Henry has been sleeping happily in his childhood bed, on a soft rainy day. He will eat copious amounts of fancy cheese bought by my love and his dad before he jaunts off to the theater with Susan to see the show.
Zac is staying home to secretly, like an elf, bake a giant birthday cake, although I can see all the fixin's on the table arrayed like gifts themselves. And my daughter called from the south of France and we got to gab at length this morning while Zac brought me a strong dark cup of excellent coffee to wake me up.
It was awful, and they had wanted me to do it in a chartreuse room with no natural light and no windows or air on a PC computer I had never used before and–lo and behold–I had a major panic attack. My therapist friend says this had happened to me because of PST from 9/11. Perfect that it happens while I am mounting this opera that I hope provides some assuagement from all the panic. But in that little dark, airless room, boy did I get super scared with my heart threatening to leap from my body.
I did finally get permission to take the computer to my house to do the test. Endless personality questions.
I have never had any hair on my head?
I can look at rivers for hours? Wait, do I have hours or am I being a slacker?
I ALWAYS and really, is there anything much that one can say never or always to other than for most of us at some point we have had hair on our heads.
I often feel as if I am being watched.
I know what others are thinking before they say anything.
Kind of an acid test for aliens.
But the test is over and now on Monday I have to speak to a shrink via phone from LA. As the therapist friend said, "You can just scream on Ninth Street in Manhattan and a shrink will step out the door." But they had to hire one to talk by phone.
But I divert, this should be about me having the opportunity to celebrate my 58th birthday with a show I conceived, wrote, directed and produced, thank god I found someone to write the music, a great collaboration. I am overjoyed at the timing and the marvelous, magical friends I have been seeing at the shows.
It makes me see how rich my life is, how varied, and how lucky I am.
>What was your favorite age?
>My husband, my lovely, sweet, generous husband's mother is sinking into the miasma of Alzheimer's and it is unraveling him.
I watched my father dance around the edges of dementia as he limped into his nineties, but he did continue to take in new information and even upbraid me with his Irish rancor when I repeated myself after he had processed and owned the new facts. But Nana is losing all sense of who she was, who her kids are, if she even has kids. She questions why she is living in this house, the home she lived in with her husband and seven kids for nearly 50 years.
Nana has settled herself in her late teens and early twenties. When she looks at old photographs of herself and her not yet husband, and all their friends at parties, visiting Atlantic City from Washington D.C. and she can tell you all their names, where she bought the fabulous hat and what they ate for dinner at the crab shack. But she often doesn't know my husband, can't recall that he is married and has two kids; and that makes him sad.
I watched my mother, near the end of her life, not really altered by Alzheimer's, but shot up on morphine, and anti-depressants to get her through her life after a stroke. She was very interested in going to the place where her parents and her cousin lived. Both my mother and her cousin Robert were only children and they were raised more as siblings than just cousins. My mom adored Robert, a few years older than she, and there are photos of her trialing after him with a look of adoration spread across her grimy little face. Robert was a Navel pilot, shot down over Tokyo Bay and never found. My mother kept a picture of him, all gap toothed grin, smiling out. As she got near the end of her life she was in her late twenties and waiting to go to a party where Robert and her long-dead parents would be in attendance. Kind of a wonderful notion. For my mother.
But tough for those who don't seem to make it into your conscientiousness. It sometimes made me feel as if I was diminished in her eyes. Why didn't she want to return to the time when I was little or, graduating from school, or giving her grandkids?
It made me wonder, into what time would I retreat? Young mother with baby children, carefree romps in fields as a child myself, producing plays, gardening. I can't predict what time will most captivate me. And as I think about that notion, I try to continue to make incredible memories, so when the time comes to revisit whatever moments my inner projector chooses; I will have a giant bank from which to choose.
I am content that Nana has a place to retreat when times are tough; but I am sorry my husband feels so sad when he sees her and has to confront the realization that he and his brothers and sisters are often not a part of the place where Nana has gone.
Life and old age are not for the faint of heart.
>No, it is not some new weird, reality show where people wrestle… it is just the reality of my life as a mid-life mom, woman, worker, wending my way through life.
I ride my bike everywhere, you know that right? Well, I do and today it is beautiful, gorgeous enough for me to feel as if perhaps the universe is paying me back for all the lousy, rainy, cold days I slogged to and from work and meetings on my trusty three-speed. Today puts money in the weather bank and redeems the North East for the crazed days past.
"Oh no, that's not the reason; it's just because they are old eyes." I swear he said that. Who would make that up? OLD EYES.
Well, I mumbled and made some snappy rejoinder. . . maybe, but I was stunned. My eyes were a thing I though might hold out and still be glorious until I hopped off the twig–a phrase my 86-year-old friend Beati uses when referring to her last mortal moment. I thought my skin would get the way it does–spotty and wrinkly–and there would be more floppy skin surrounding the eyes, but the blue of a great Carolina sky would hold me strong. They wouldn't be clouded in a flood of weepy.
Now when I enter a store or go to a meeting I will be embarrassed about my watery eyes. I know they have always been runnier than most and I am challenging myself today to think: Are they different from 20 years ago water-wise?
I can't recall. I seem often to occupy the moment firmly, both a good and bad thing. Here is what I want to know. Was there a reason for this eye doc to call my orbs old? And couldn't we all do with a little more finesse when it comes to talking about other people . . . I mean especially right in front of them. I'm off to buy a pack of tissues to stuff in my bag to hide the tears.

Q: Django password_reset Form email validation Django password_reset Form does not check if email exists or not. Also validates form whatever email address is given.
The question is, how do i check and throw error for non existing emails with custom form?
By the way, i found below solution at here but it is not working for me. (using Django 2.1). And if this should work, i couldn't found what i am missing.
forms.py
class EmailValidationOnForgotPassword(PasswordResetForm):
def clean_email(self):
    email = self.cleaned_data['email']
    if not User.objects.filter(email__iexact=email, is_active=True).exists():
        raise ValidationError("There is no user registered with the specified email address!")

    return email

urls.py
path('sifre-sifirla/', PasswordResetView.as_view(), {'password_reset_form':EmailValidationOnForgotPassword}, name='password_reset'),

Thank you in advance.
EDIT:
For other users information, question is answered by @Alasdair and working but @pypypy 's point of view is also important.
changes in urls.py as below:
path('sifre-sifirla/', PasswordResetView.as_view(form_class=EmailValidationOnForgotPassword), name='password_reset'),

A: Summarizing the discussion above with parts taken from @Alasdair
#forms.py
from django.contrib.auth.forms import PasswordResetForm

class EmailValidationOnForgotPassword(PasswordResetForm):

    def clean_email(self):
        email = self.cleaned_data['email']
        if not User.objects.filter(email__iexact=email, is_active=True).exists():
            msg = _("There is no user registered with the specified E-Mail address.")
            self.add_error('email', msg)
        return email

And
#urls.py
from accounts.forms import EmailValidationOnForgotPassword

path('sifre-sifirla/', PasswordResetView.as_view(form_class=EmailValidationOnForgotPassword), name='password_reset'),

@pypypy, is correct in saying that this approach can be used to obtain usernames. One way to reduce this issue is to respond with a 429 Too Many Requests as soon an user tries 3 different E-Mails. That can be achived using for example django-ratelimit

DOE study says that 80 percent of US power could come from renewable energy by 2050
A study from the Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has found that today's renewable energy technologies could supply up to 80 percent of US electricity by the year 2050. The NREL's study explored various scenarios, concluding that onshore wind power will have the most significant impact while offshore wind power continues to grow. Solar power and biomass were also projected to play an important role, with geothermal and hydropower contributing significantly less due to resource and cost limitations.
Reaching the projected 80 percent would obviously require significant amounts of funding and political will. The bright side is that the DOE claims most of the other barriers could be resolved, saying "no insurmountable long-term constraints to renewable electricity technology manufacturing capacity, materials supply, or labor availability were identified." Also, the study fails to take into account the potential environmental effects of these technologies.

Don't put your life at risk taking pictures of Flying Scotsman!
By Barbara Jordan Senior reporter
Trainspotters and photographers warned not to risk their lives trying to get pictures of Flying Scotsman thundering through Winsford Picture: Jody Hartlet
THE world's most famous steam locomotive is set to thunder through Winsford.
But trainspotters and photographers have been warned not to risk their lives trying to get pictures of Flying Scotsman pulling the Northern Belle's Pullman carriages from Carnforth to Crewe on Saturday, July 20.
Jeanette Snape, managing director Northern Belle urged spectators not to trespass on the tracks or stand too close to the edge of station platforms.
She said: "We know this will be a big attraction – the world's most famous engine hauling the ornately-decorated Pullman coaches of one of the world's most luxurious trains.
"But while we want as many people as possible to see it and get photographs, we also want everybody to stay safe.
"It is extremely dangerous, as well as illegal, to trespass near the railway tracks. At best, people could end up in court being fined £1,000 – at worst they could end up in the mortuary. So please take care and act sensibly."
Earlier this year nearly 60 regular services between Birmingham and Derby were delayed for a total of 1,000 minutes because of people trespassing on the track when Flying Scotsman visited the Midlands.
It led Network Rail to warn that the engine could be banned from the main line if a 'few thoughtless lawbreakers' continue risking their lives.
One engine driver said it was 'only a matter of time' before somebody got killed if people continued risking their safety to get that 'once-in-a-lifetime' photograph.
He added: "I'm not calling for the engine to be banned from the mainline and confined to preserved heritage lines and museums, but for people to be sensible and stay on the correct side of the railway boundary fence and to keep behind the yellow line on the platform."
Chief Inspector Gareth Davies, of British Transport Police, said: "Seeing Flying Scotsman is an exciting event for many people and we want everybody to have a great day out.
"But our priority is the safety of everybody viewing and travelling on the train. Please remember to use safe vantage points to view and take pictures of the train, stay clear of the line and do not risk serious injury or death by trespassing on the tracks.
"The railway is an extremely hazardous environment and those caught trespassing or obstructing trains can expect to be prosecuted."
All 300 seats, costing £300 each, were snapped up within weeks of the trip being announced.
The train will be diesel-hauled from Crewe to Carnforth before the Flying Scotsman takes over.
Passengers will be greeted with a champagne reception when they board before sitting down to plush lunch prepared by on-board chef Matthew Green.
During a half hour stop at Carnforth station, where the classic 1940s movie Brief Encounter was filmed, they will be able to dance on the platform to the train's resident band before puckering up under the iconic clock where stars Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson shared an illicit kiss.

If you want to see the steam-hauled Northern Belle, it will depart Carnforth at 1.35pm and is scheduled to pass through Lancaster at 2.15pm, Preston 2.43pm, Wigan 3.02pm, Warrington 3.15pm, and Winsford at 3.55pm before arriving at Crewe at 4.05pm.

News / 02.9.19
Countries have what I call ethnopolitical regimes, meaning the kinds of political power relations between ethnic groups, including majorities and minorities. These relations shift over time, sometimes allowing more accommodation for diversity and sometimes decreasing. The shifts should also be analyzed to see if they happen consensually or through coercion.
Countries can also have multiple ethnopolitical situations. For example, Germany has, on the one hand, a well-known and exemplary codification and systematisation of its relationship with its national minorities, such as the Frisians and Sorbs. But how does it at the same time deal with other groups, like the Turks and Yugoslavs, who come from different ethnopolitical contexts (i.e. recent immigration)?
This question is important to explore because the latter groups also have an interest in preserving their ethnic identities and in doing so, they are trying to shift the interest of the State towards them as well. Therefore, they are changing the conventional power balance within the country itself, and the understanding of what it is to be German. In other words, a group coming from a different ethnopolitical situation (labor migration) is gently changing the nature of the overall ethnopolitical regime in the country.
This shift is interesting from an academic viewpoint because changes in the perception and accommodation of new and old minorities happen very slowly, during the course of a lifetime. If we look back in history, we can identify different moments at which the relationship between groups within States have shifted. Often times people will oppose the shifts, there will be setbacks, ebbs and flows. But this reinforces for me the idea that ultimately, ethno-political regimes are constantly in flux, the power balances between different groups are subject to change, the way in which countries and communities define and perceive themselves evolves. We need to recognise that.
These changes can be triggered by different factors, and the elements causing those shifts are difficult to predict. Scotland is a very classic example, since the discovery of oil in the North Sea transformed the way in which the Scottish people could project themselves, both in material and identity terms. It enabled the Scots to begin to demand devolution and change the ethnopolitical regime of the United Kingdom. In other instances, it will be international law and norms that will quietly lead to change, in a "dripping water hollows out the stone" fashion. The collapse of apartheid in South Africa exemplifies this variant.
Such shifts are not always positive for minorities. When looking at the state of democracy and the so-called "rise of populism" in recent years, one can observe that an element of populism is often xenophobia, especially in the right-wing version of this ideology. This has a great impact on minorities. And this trend is changing the way minorities – both national and new – are perceived. I believe this slide into populism, which contains xenophobic elements, should make us all vigilant as to the protection of minorities.
Vello Pettai, incoming director of the European Centre for Minority Issues – as of 1 March 2020 – gave a keynote speech at the 2019 Summer School on National Minorities and Border Regions in Humboldt University in Berlin.

Andy Murray Fights Back in Vow For Gold
It had the soundscape of a Davis Cup tie. British and Italian fans could be heard vying for bragging rights in Rio's tight centre court. But in this Davis Cup atmosphere, it was not to be a repeat of Fognini's stunning 2014 Davis Cup victory. Instead, the Olympic Tennis Centre was the stage for some masterful Murray escapology in a 6-1, 2-6, 6-3 win.
Andy Murray entered this match looking primed for Olympic glory. He had set down a serious marker with his imperious victories over Viktor Troicki and Juan Monaco; Djokovic, Federer, Wawrinka, and now Tsonga and Ferrer were on the sidelines. So with Fognini dispatched 6-1 in the opening set, it seemed Murray's Olympic stock was set to rise even further.
This fixture was not to be so simple though. Fognini's hold of serve at the end of the first set had energised him. With Murray leading 2-1 early in the second set, Fognini staved off a game point and swiftly reciprocated the break of serve. The Italian then surged into a 4-2 lead with a hold and another break of the Scot's serve. Game on, the Twitterverse hummed.
The confidence was truly pumping through the veins of the underdog, and even a 0-30 deficit could not prevent him from consolidating his break. Inexplicably, Murray was then broken for a third time on the bounce, allowing a transformed Fognini to clinch the set 6-2. What had appeared just a consolation game in the opening set had in fact spearheaded a remarkable revival.
Fognini's momentum continued into the final set. In spite of Murray's best efforts and a gruellingly long deuce game, the Italian swiped his opponent's service game away from him yet again to advance into a 2-0 lead.
The scene was set for a historic Murray comeback. Could the World #2 stop the rot? The British contingent willed him on to do so; Murray immediately applied pressure on the Fognini serve. But the script was to be revised–the pendulum of a long deuce game once again swung decisively in the Italian's favour.
Murray looked sapped of energy, bereft of belief, and he incessantly complained about the conditions. He was doing an uncanny impersonation of his opponent in the first set. Yet the power of the scoreboard was to enter the equation once again. Murray's hold precipitated another charge on Fognini's serve, and after the Italian dumped a careless backhand into the net, the Scot had the crucial break back.
As the set progressed, Fognini's piston right-arm became increasingly erroneous. The line between seamless mastery and careless nonchalance was proving to be a fine one. Murray soon clinched another break, and at 5-3 earned the double-break that finally settled this turbulent tie. There was no roar from Murray, only a relieved glance up at his box. 15 wins and counting for the man of the moment.
The Italian's over-zealous forehand on match point in fact exemplified the 'Murray effect'. Murray's tenacious retrieving had driven the world #40 to increasingly audacious shot-making, and the margin for error simply became too slim. As the pressure of leading escalated, Fognini's unforced error count rocketed. That is testament to Murray's persistency, and the mental resolve Ivan Lendl's return has clearly instilled.
The Rio Olympics draw now lies wide open for Andy Murray. Rafael Nadal and Kei Nishikori still remain, certainly dangerous opposition. But with the absence of the man who has repeatedly felled him at the last hurdle, Murray surely looks the favourite to reclaim Olympic gold.
