Juan Mata gives revealing insight into what it is like to work with Unai Emery - Duration: 4:02.Juan Mata has given a revealing insight into the 'intense' way that Unai Emery works and what Arsenal's head coach demands from his players
Mata - who has been linked with a move to Arsenal in recent weeks - played under Emery when the Spaniard was in charge at Valencia
And in an extract from Emery's biography which has been published by the Telegraph, the Manchester United star describes just what it is like as a player to work under the 46-year-old
"I think what's special about Unai is the way he communicates," said Emery. "In his talks, he used to write three, four or five things on the board: those were the points he was going to bring up
Sometimes it was five phrases or metaphors he was going to explain. I've never seen that with my other managers
"They usually revolved around phrases about positivity, camaraderie, the values he wanted to create in his team
He communicated by means of the points he had written down. "His talks could go on and on because he didn't notice the time, but what he said was always intense, and he would ask you questions
It became a kind of seminar." Emery is known as a coach who is hugely demanding on the training pitch and he has certainly changed things drastically at Arsenal since his arrival at the summer
The training regime has completely changed at London Colney, with several members of the squad having admitted they have never been worked so hard
And the changes introduced at Colney certainly seem to be having an effect, with Arsenal currently in the midst of a 12-game unbeaten run, with 11 of those matches ending in victories
Recalling one particular aspect of what it was like on the training pitch with Emery, Mata recalled: "Unai is the manager who works hardest at set-pieces
And he would change tactics depending on who we were facing. He was constantly coming up with new ideas
"We were often surprised, because it could seem very complicated and you had to concentrate a lot, apart from anything else trying to remember what the plan was for different games, because it changed all the time! "I remember above all a free-kick we used to do in the middle of our opponents' half
Instead of sending the ball up the middle of the pitch where everyone was crowding in, we would put two players on each side and two in the centre
"At the sides, one player screened the other, who darted forward towards the far post
The player taking the free-kick would raise an arm to show which side the ball would go
I don't know if Unai still does it, but if it's the right arm, then it's going to the right-hand side!" Keep up to date with the latest news, features and exclusives from football

CNN Is Trying To Ban This Fox News Host Over What Was Said About The Caravan - Duration: 3:49.CNN is going to war with Fox News over the migrant caravan.
The left-wing activists at the network has targeted another Fox News Channel host for
destruction.
And now they are trying to get him banned for what was said on his program about George
Soros and the caravan.
CNN Attacks Lou Dobbs Donald Trump is a big fan of Fox Business
Channel host Lou Dobbs.
Therefore, CNN and other liberals want to destroy him.
CNN recently seized on tweets made by Dobbs in the wake of a deranged Florida man sending
suspicious packages to CNN and other Democrats.
Dobbs tweeted:
FAKE NEWS – FAKE BOMBS WHO COULD POSSIBLY BENEFIT BY SO MUCH FAKERY?
CNN then whined when Dobbs tweeted:
FAKE NEWS HAD JUST SUCCESSFULLY CHANGED THE NARRATIVE FROM THE ONSLAUGHT OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
AND BROKEN BORDER SECURITY TO 'SUSPICIOUS PACKAGES.'
Dobbs deleted both tweets after liberal reporters complained.
CNN Ratchets Up Pressure Campaign Against Dobbs
But that was just the beginning of CNN's attempts to ban Dobbs.
Chris Farrell – who is a board member of Judicial Watch – appeared on Dobbs' program
to discuss the migrant caravan.
He talked about how Vice President Pence revealed that leftist groups in Venezuela funded and
organized the caravan.
Farrell said, "This is a criminal involvement on the part of these leftist groups.
It's highly organized very sophisticated operation.
I have that from the highest levels of the Guatemalan government," he began.
Farrell continued, "They are investigating those groups criminally and I strongly urge
President Trump and Attorney General Sessions to do the same here.
Lot of these folks also have affiliates who are getting money from the Soros occupied
State Department and that is of great concern.
You want to start cutting money.
Cut money there."
Liberals in the media seized on the "Soros occupied State Department" remarks to claim
Dobbs had inflamed anti-Semitism.
Gary Schreier – Fox's senior vice president for programming – released a statement condemning
Farrell's remarks.
"We condemn the rhetoric by the guest on Lou Dobbs Tonight," Schreier's statement
read.
"This episode was a repeat which has now been pulled from all future airings."
CNN Tries To Ban Lou Dobbs CNN hates Fox News.
The left-wing network believes liberal outlets should be the only source of information Americans
are allowed to consume.
They have a whole team of media reporters who do nothing but echo Media Matters talking
points and write articles attacking Fox hosts.
CNN has already gone after Sean Hannity's advertisers in an attempt to kick him off
the air.
They also smeared Laura Ingraham as a racist in a move many conservatives saw as an attempt
to censor her.
Now they are targeting Dobbs.
CNN reported that they contacted the Speaker's Bureau that books Dobbs' public speeches
to see if he fit with the company values.
Their goal was to get them to drop Dobbs and deny him a source of income.
When networks like CNN contact advertisers or the Speaker's Bureau to see if a controversy
surrounding a conservative is in-line with their values, it's a pressure tactic.
They hope that by alerting a corporate entity to a controversy, they will make it go away
by dropping the conservative.
CNN believes that any viewpoint that deviates from liberal orthodoxy is hate speech and
should cost individuals the ability to feed their family or themselves.
We will keep you up to date on any new developments in this ongoing story.

What is quality vs quantity of nutrition? - Duration: 1:48.Hey Guys! I appreciate you tuning in for this episode of the mental minute. Today,
I'm going to be giving you part one of Jared's top 10 nutritional guidelines
that you could use going forward. I want you to throw everything that you've ever
thought about nutrition out the window: food pyramid, low-fat, low-sugar, throw it
all out the windows. We're gonna look at things differently. Number one: eat well
for tomorrow, not specifically just for today. What do I mean by that is that
what you eat today is going to affect not only you, but your future generations
to come. Think about that. Secondly, improve your health even when you're
healthy. Let's say you just ran a marathon or you won a bodybuilding
contest, you think that you're in the best physical shape of your life. Focus on
improving your mental health: think positively or focus on gratitude. Number
three: quality versus quantity, a donut... an apple. Now you cansee they're both about the
same size, but you know the quality of the Apple is significantly better than the
donut, right? Number four: increase the nutritional density of foods. Look at
maybe chia seeds or something to pack more nutrients in the foods that
you eat. Number five: reduce toxins. What do I mean by that? Get a natural
cleaner or make your own, learn how to do that. Hey guys, did you enjoy the video?
Hopefully, you learned something in the past 60 seconds that you can take with
you on your daily treks through life, but here's the thing, it's the end of the
video, so you're either glutton for punishment or you want to see some sort
of mistakes. Speaking of mistakes, I guess this is a
good time to say if you didn't like the video, comment below and let me know if
there's something that you didn't like and tell me how I can improve. But
if you did, hit the like button or comment or share. Now this next screen is
going to give you all the social media stuff, as well as a couple of other
recommendations on videos that I put up. Click and learn. Have a great day folks

What Was the 1918 Influenza Pandemic? - Duration: 3:13.In 1918, a new and unusually deadly influenza virus swept the globe, in a
pandemic that we are still studying today.
Dr. Taubenberger: "The 1918 pandemic caused the
global deaths of probably fifty, and maybe up to one hundred million people,
making it the worst natural disaster in all of recorded human history."
But what made the pandemics so lethal? NIAID's Dr. Jeffery Taubenberger has been
studying the 1918 flu for decades.
Dr. Taubenberger: "Most people who had influenza in 1918 had a
completely typical course of influenza, like you would see today, but in 1918,
a really unusually high number of people ended up having very severe illness,
meaning that they actually developed a pneumonia, an infection of their lungs,
that started out as a viral pneumonia and then rapidly progressed in most
cases to a secondary bacterial pneumonia. They had no way to treat the viral
infection, they had no way to treat the secondary bacterial infections, so these
people were just really left, in a sense, to suffer. And this process from initial
onset of infection to death by bacterial pneumonias usually took around 10 or 11 days."
Ordinarily, influenza is most deadly in the very young and the very old.
But as Dr. David Morens explains, the 1918 virus was unusual.
Dr. Morens: "The two things that were different in 1918 is that the deaths in all those age groups were
more than they had been in other pandemics that we had seen, and that
there was a very high rate of death in people between the ages of 20 and 40
which had never been seen before, and which has never been seen since."
To find out why the virus was so lethal, Dr. Taubenberger and other scientists
retrieved samples of lung tissue, preserved in paraffin, from soldiers that
had died of the flu. Eventually, with the help of tissue recovered from frozen
bodies in Alaska, Dr. Taubenberger's team was able to reconstruct the 1918 flu virus.
Dr. Taubenberger: "Unfortunately, when you look at the genome of the virus, and just compare
it on paper to other influenza viruses, nothing obvious really
pops out at you as to why it would behave this way, and yet we know that
this virus is a really virulent pathogenic virus. One of the things
the 1918 virus did, and does in experimental animal models, and there's
data to say that that's what happened in people, is that it induced a really
strong and very unusual kind of inflammatory response so that the body's
response, immune response, to the virus itself contributed heavily to lung
damage and pathology, and probably contributed to serious illness and death.
So it's this very unusual inflammatory response that's one of the key active
research focuses of my laboratory, to understand why the 1918 virus induced
that, and what perhaps we could do in the future to try to develop drugs that
might target or limit aspects of the inflammatory response as a way of
treating severe viral infections."

Gary Barlow jokes that his X Factor dressing room was bugged when he was a judge - Daily News - Duration: 5:31.has revealed that when he was a judge on The X Factor, he was fed lines by producers to create drama on the show - and he questioned if his dressing room was bugged at one point
Gary, 47, appeared on the ITV show as a judge from 2011 until 2013, and he details his time on the reality talent series in his new autobiography, A Better Me
Five years later, the majority of the day to day producers from then no longer work on the show
But back in the day, the Take That legend revealed that he questioned whether joining the Saturday night staple would be a good idea - and he didn't get a good response from his contacts in the industry when he asked them their opinions
He said in the book: "I've got a very healthy address book of TV professionals and I set about ringing every single one of them
"The X Factor . What's it all about?" "To the last, they all said the same thing: 'The only thing anyone cares about in that building is The X Factor
They won't mind throwing you under the bus, using you to get a headline, feeding you a line that will end your career, as long as The X Factor gets a mention
' "'You don't go in there alone, you need back up." From this advice, Gary then went to James Corden to ask him if there was anyone who he might be able to bring on as a team member to help him through what he calls the "manipulative nonsense" of Simon Cowell 's hit show
Gary said he told James: "I need someone watching my back who understands telly and will spot all their little producer games they play
Someone with a TV head to go 'Listen. The ratings are down this week so they're going to be looking to create a stir'
Someone to warn me of these things before they happen." James suggested his producer, Ben Winston, who then came on board
Gary revealed that the producers then try to stoke drama by suggesting what judges should say in the green room before the live shows
He said: "About half an hour before the show goes live, the producers would come in and and they'd go, 'Oh my God
That Misha. She's a bully. Can't believe it. She is such a bully. In fact, you know what? You should say it
You should say it on air. She's bullied everyone all week." "They leave the room
Ben: Do not say that. "Later Misha comes on.Tulisa: I think you're a bully. Louis: 'I think you're a bully
" He also questioned how all of his X Factor's team's conversations were made public - even speculating that his green room may have been tapped: "We developed a bad case of showbiz paranoia
Was the dressing room bugged? They always seemed to know what was being talked about behind closed doors, and eaten, too
What ever happened in that building always found its way to the press." Gary eventually left The X Factor after three series in 2013, and said at the time of his departure: "I've had an amazing time on X Factor these past three years
A show like this needs to stay fresh and exciting, so it's a great opportunity for someone to come in and take the show past its incredible ten year anniversary
"Next year is a very busy year for me and X Factor is a full time job so it felt like the right time to hand over the baton
" An X Factor spokesperson added: "As Gary said on the show tonight we can confirm that this will be his last series as a judge on The X Factor as next year he will be focusing on his own music
"We'd like to thank him for an amazing contribution over the last three years." He was later replaced by Simon Cowell, and Gary went on to produce his own talent show for the BBC in 2017 called Let It Shine

Analysis | A Yazidi activist was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. But what happens next for Yazidis? - Duration: 9:46.Yazidi human rights activist Nadia Murad speaks at U.N. headquarters in March 2017
Along with Congolese gynecologist Denis Mukwege, Murad was awarded the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize on Oct
5, 2018. (AFP/Getty Images) By Tutku Ayhan October 30 at 6:00 AM Yazidi survivor, activist and UN goodwill ambassador for the dignity of survivors of human trafficking Nadia Murad was jointly awarded the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize with Congolese gynecologist Dr
Denis Mukwege. It was a long-neglected and symbolic contribution to the efforts of those who struggle against conflict-related sexual violence
The award was also meaningful for Yazidis worldwide. But will this international recognition really change anything for the persecuted group? Most existing literature and aid have made sweeping generalizations about Yazidis, the challenges they face and their needs
My research attempts to complicate that picture, by examining the changing ways Yazidis perceive and practice gender after the genocide
Survivors have diverse experiences of liberation and survival In August 2014, the Islamic State attacked Yazidis in the northern Iraq district of Sinjar, kidnapping and enslaving thousands of Yazidi women and children
Today, while some 1,000 female Yazidi survivors of Islamic State captivity live and receive treatment in Germany, around 2,000 more live in internally displaced persons camps in Kurdistan Regional Government, under precarious conditions, many without any psychological support
Suicides or life-threatening risks remain pervasive in camps. Others live in unfinished buildings outside the camps, trying to reintegrate to life after trauma and focusing on daily survival
Families may not always know how to treat the survivors. And the media has reportedly coerced women into re-traumatization by constantly retelling and abusing their stories
In my research, I focus on the challenges Yazidi women face after the genocide and the potential transformative influence of mass violence on gender dynamics both in Iraq and in the diaspora
I conducted initial fieldwork in Iraqi Kurdistan in May 2018 through in-depth interviews with Yazidi male and female survivors in camps, nondisplaced Yazidis, religious and political leaders and policymakers in the Kurdistan Regional Government
I use an intersectional approach, which considers how different identities interact and create unique experiences of submission and/or privilege for individuals
This approach helps me observe the intersecting effects of social identities within this specific historical, institutional and local context
While conducting my research, I pay careful attention to differences in the individual experiences of older and younger, married and unmarried, urban and rural, captured and non-captured Yazidi women in Iraq or in diaspora, from different sects
This provides a more nuanced perspective than grouping all these diverse and unique individuals under a single label of "genocide survivors
" Post-genocide gender relations among the Yazidis Existing social science literature suggests that war can influence post-conflict gender relations in different ways, either increasing or decreasing preexisting gender inequalities
Sometimes, women face increased domestic violence after conflict. Their voices are ignored, marginalized or hidden by the patriarchal components of the culture of their communities
In other cases, wars may create space for increased female participation in economic, public and political life and increase their agency
Female survivors can get vocal about their experiences and those of others who suffered and survived the conflict
Yet even these gains might be short-lived due to a patriarchal backlash and the reestablishment of gender repressive regimes in the long run
My initial findings suggest that there is a potential for gender-equal developments as Yazidi women may find space to exert their agency and gain new rights
Changing perceptions about education was a recurring topic in my interviews. Both the families and the younger generations voiced the importance of girls attending school
Families expressed their concerns for girls to "know more about the world" and "protect themselves" for the future
Some children started school in camps for the first time, an opportunity they lacked in their village in Sinjar
Displacement also seem to increase women's mobility, living closer to the city, sometimes having to work outside to provide for the family
Some respondents told me that Yazidi women can now go to the bazaar alone while the husband takes care of the kids, or they can work, which was not possible in Sinjar
In camps, the presence of NGOs with female empowerment agendas or projects also contribute to the change of gender norms
Another potential change concerns the marriage patterns. In Yazidi faith — a religion incorporating beliefs from Judaism, Christianity and Zoroastrianism but with its own distinctive characteristics — intermarriage between sects is prohibited
But migration appears to be transforming marriage norms. A Yazidi scholar told me that people have begun to discuss intermarriage between sects and some among second-generation Yazidis in Germany already have begun to do so
Even though most interviewees confidently told me that the rule would stay the same forever, we can still likely expect mass migration to change marriage patterns
What is Yazidis' future after such transformative changes? Violence might have some positive transformative effects for Yazidi women in terms of gender liberation, but it also risks the dissolution of Yazidi identity
Whereas a liberal feminist approach would put premium on women's agency and individual empowerment, a multiculturalist approach would prioritize the survival of a persecuted religious minority identity
But listening to the survivors themselves offers more nuance and context, breaking down wide categories of "women" as well as "community
" Indeed, the findings of a recent study on the German program for Yazidis point to the inadequacy of individual empowerment vision of the program planners in serving the perceived best interests of some survivors
When I asked them about Nadia Murad's work, Yazidis would tell me that the political leaders "sit and cry with Nadia but forget about Yazidis the next day
" With thousands of kidnapped women and children still missing, political authorities have yet to recognize the attacks as genocide or establish courts to hold perpetrators responsible
Despite international attention, Yazidis still lack concrete humanitarian, financial and political help
As one of my respondents said, "there has been much spotlight on the issue, but not much has been done
" For them, the genocide is still ongoing. Tutku Ayhan is a PhD student in security studies at the University of Central Florida
She is also involved in an international collaborative project on societal transformations among the Yazidis
The initial fieldwork for this research was funded by a TRE grant from the Project on Middle East Political Science

US missionary killed in Cameroon in what family says was 'targeted' attack - Duration: 6:22.An American missionary was shot and killed in Cameroon Tuesday, his brother confirmed to ABC News, and his family says they believe he was targeted amid growing violence in the West African country
Charles Wesco, his wife Stephanie, and their eight children had moved to Bamenda, a major city in Cameroon's northwest province, less than two weeks ago
After years of missions to Africa, the Wesco family had decided to permanently move to the country from Indiana after a visit there in 2015
"Their objective was to share the love of Christ with people in a very poor and strife-ridden country," his brother Timothy Wesco told ABC News
"That was their passion, and that was their life -- to share Jesus Christ." But Tuesday morning, while driving into town to go shopping, Charles was shot
He was taken to one of the local hospitals where he was treated by Doctors Without Borders, Timothy said, but was declared dead shortly after arriving
"It appears that he was targeted," Timothy said, adding later it was "quite probable he was targeted because he was a white, English-speaking American
" Cameroon has seen violence flare in recent months as English-speaking separatists have attacked schools in a revolt against the French-speaking government's education system and perceived oppression of English speakers
A former French colony, Cameroon is largely French-speaking, except for the two provinces Northwest and Southwest where English is the major language
The separatist movement has been met with a severe crackdown by government forces, with the violence bringing the country to the brink of "an emerging civil war," according to Richard Moncrieff, the Central Africa project director at the International Crisis Group
At least 400 civilians have been killed in the last year since separatists declared independence in October 2017, reported ICG
Local Cameroonian media reported that Wesco was shot by government forces, but his brother could not confirm that
The State Department told ABC News that a U.S. citizen died in Bamenda and that it is providing full consular services to the family, but declined to provide any other details
Chief among the family's needs right now is safety. "We're very concerned about the safety of the family," Timothy Wesco said
While Stephanie and the eight children are still in the country right now, the family hopes to get them out soon, he added
The family was aware of the risks in Cameroon, with Charles and Stephanie writing in a September-October newsletter about a curfew where "English section civilians are not allowed to safely leave their homes or operate their businesses without risking loss or death
" "Keep praying earnestly for a return of peace to the English and French sections of Cameroon!" they added, noting their humility and excitement for their religious mission
If Cameroonian security forces are found to be responsible for Charles's killing, it would not be the first time they have been accused of crimes
In July, State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert said the U.S. was "gravely concerned" about a video that appeared to show military forces executing two women and two children
Cameroon's Ministry of Information dismissed the video as "fake news." The U.S. has taken little action to punish the government of President Paul Biya for its human rights abuses, including allegations of killing protesters, torturing detainees, and arresting journalists
Earlier this month, Biya was reelected to another seven-year term after nearly 36 years in office in elections that opposition figures denounced
The State Department said there were "a number of irregularities" that "may not have affected the outcome but created an impression that the election was not credible or genuinely free and fair
" But it called on the parties to peacefully resolve any disputes, instead of pushing for any recount
