Murray failed again against a dominant Djokovic

Novak Djokovic defeated Andy Murray 6-1, 7-5, 7-6 (3) on Sunday to clinch his sixth Australian Open crown and tie the record number of titles claimed by Roy Emerson between 1961 and 1967.

This triumph also marked the fourth time Djokovic has defeated Murray in the Melbourne final; he previously overcame the Scot in 2011, 2013 and 2015. Eurosport illustrated Djokovic's monstrous Grand Slam achievements:

Sunday's win was the third time in succession the Serbian has beaten Murray in straight sets; he routed his adversary at both the Shanghai Masters and Paris Masters last year.

Murray was visibly upset with his latest loss to Djokovic, but he made sure to send a message to his pregnant wife Kim in his post-match comments:

I feel like I've been here before. Congrats, Novak. Six Australian Opens is an incredible feat. The last year has been incredible. Good job.

I'd like to thank my team for getting me to this position. Sorry I couldn't get it done. Thanks for all your support during a tough few weeks off court.

And finally to Kim, my wife, who is going to be watching at home. You've been a legend. I'll be on the next flight home. To all of the ex-players watching: Thank you for coming. It makes it even more special playing in front of you.

Djokovic laid waste to his opponent in the opening set of Sunday's final, and Murray was miles off the pace as Djokovic pulled him to and fro across the Rod Laver Arena. 

Murray conceded breaks in each of his opening two service attempts, and Tom Perrotta of the Wall Street Journal noted the odds were stacked against the Briton as long as he was playing anything less than his best tennis:

Murray playing badly, Djokovic playing well = blowout set. 4-0 Djokovic.

It wasn't until the fifth game of the opening set that he found anything resembling a groove and finally got off the mark, but Djokovic served out to claim a 6-1 win in just half an hour. 

A more robust Murray turned out for the second set, and he did particularly well to survive four break points at 1-1 to take a one-game lead, but Djokovic was too dominant on his own serve. Murray was clearly frustrated with his own display, per Ben Rothenberg of the New York Times:

"This is the worst match I've ever played," says Andy Murray. Not sure that that's right, really, but I understand his feelings.#AusOpen

Djokovic recorded a seemingly inevitable break to lead 4-3, but Murray hit back with his first break of the match to tie the score again.

Djokovic's serving declined noticeably, but, per the IBM SlamTracker, he dominated with reception statistics continued to dominate, winning 44 percent of the points he received compared to Murray's 33 percent.

Despite fending off two break points to keep a 5-4 lead, Murray blinked on his next serve and trailed 6-5 before his foe served out to claim a two-set lead.

By the end of the second set, Murray had faced 10 break points, while he had forced only three upon Djokovic. KICCA's Ian Stafford outlined the task in front of Murray, who has never come back from two sets down in his career:

It's one thing coming back from 2 sets down against Raonic. It's another against Djokovic. An Everest of a challenge now for Andy Murray.

— Ian Stafford (@IanStaffs) January 31, 2016

There was no sign of surrender in Murray's performance, but nothing could hold back Djokovic as the 2013 Wimbledon winner conceded a fourth break on his opening serve of the third set. 

At 3-1 down, Murray went on a three-game winning streak—his first of the match—to turn the scoreline in his favour. World Rugby chief executive Brett Gosper commented on the now-or-never circumstances of Murray's comeback attempt:

Both contenders' stamina appeared to be running low as the long rallies they had earlier in the clash were replaced by shorter duels, and Murray held out for a tiebreak in the tightest set of the match.

Djokovic had a critical challenge go in his favour, though Murray's wayward serving didn't help his cause as Djokovic stormed to a 7-3 tiebreak win. Tennis writer Chris Goldsmith detailed the gulf between the two finalists, with championship points to spare:

5 MPs Djokovic ..... Murray errors galore in the breaker and all over for the Brit#ausopen

— Chris Goldsmith (@TheTennisTalker)January 31, 2016

If his reputation didn't already demand it, a sixth win in Melbourne cemented Djokovic's place as the most successful player ever to grace the Australian Open.

Djokovic and Murray have enjoyed a collection of fierce encounters in recent years, but the former may consider this his most decisive victory to date.

Roland Garros, the next Grand Slam event of 2016, awaits in May, but both Djokovic and Murray can turn some of their attention toward the Davis Cup, with the first round underway in March.

Another source heard her screaming: "Y'all got no respect for me. I gotta tie my shoes. Let me tie my Yeezys."

She was handcuffed by police and taken away in tears.

Blac was on her way to London for a nightclub appearance when the incident occurred.

Meanwhile, she recently revealed that she is dating reclusive reality TV star Rob Kardashian, whose sister Kylie Jenner is in a relationship with Blac's former fiance Tyga.

The Real Reason Why You Stink

Body odor can be a really embarrassing condition. Unfortunately too many people deal with this common problem by washing more often with antibacterial soaps and body washes, and applying products that block perspiration. 

While adequate personal hygiene is certainly vital for good health, applying strong commercial products to combat body odor may actually make the problem worse.

Using gentler, more natural products to ward off smelly pits is clearly a massive improvement on most deodorants and antiperspirants. However, it’s worth understanding the root cause of body odor in order to make an effort to improve the issue at the source.

Some common causes of body odor can include stress, illness and eating certain foods. Let’s examine some of the other complex biological mechanisms behind B.O.

First things first, where does sweat come from? Science tells us that there are actually two different kinds of sweat.

Regular sweat come from the eccrine glands, which are located all over the body and open directly onto the skin. If you are in hot conditions or are physically exerting yourself, your body temperature will rise. The eccrine glands are stimulated and release perspiration, which is mostly made up of water and salt. This basic type of sweat is virtually odorless and is used as a simple mechanism to cool down the body through evaporation.

The sweat that causes odor is a separate type. It comes from the apocrine glands, which are located near hair follicles. These glands are concentrated around hairy areas such as the armpits and groin. The tube of the gland is actually joined onto the hair follicle and uses the hair as a conduit to flow onto the surface of the skin. This type of sweat is essentially used as a signaling mechanism to communicate what state the body is in. In the case of hormonal fluctuations, anxiety or emotional stress, fluid made of water, proteins, fatty acids and other substances is secreted by the apocrine glands and empties into the hair follicle. This chemical mix is broken down by bacteria that live on the skin’s surface.

This breakdown process, and resulting increase in the number of bacteria, is what results in body odor. The odor can vary depending on what is going on in the body in terms of its biochemistry. The particular state of an individual body at any given time can result in many different odors. For example, propionic acid is one possible excretory product, which is associated with the smell of vinegar, while isovaleric acid is another, smelling like cheese.

Let’s examine the different factors that can influence the bacteria and sweat chemical cocktail.

Skin bacteria

All of us have billions of bacteria living all over our skin and throughout our body systems. It can be creepy to think about, but we really wouldn’t be able to survive without these little critters.

Certain strains of bacteria can contribute more to body odor than others. One of the worst offenders is Micrococcus sedentarius, which overgrows in sweaty environments and emits smelly sulfur-based compounds. Wearing shoes or non-breathable clothing can contribute to greater growth of these bacteria.

Genetic factors

Our genes also have a part to play in the production of body odor. About 10 to 15 percent of people are genetically predisposed to greater sweat production, which can naturally result in more opportunity for the overgrowth of smelly bacteria.

Another genetic condition resulting in abnormal body odor is called trimethylaminuria, affecting about 1 in every 200,000 people. This is where a person is unable to break down trimethylamine (TMA), which is a common chemical compound in the plants and animals that we eat. This results in the emission of TMA through the sweat and urine. People with this mutation can have stronger unpleasant body odor that sometimes smells like fish or ammonia. The condition fluctuates with hormone levels and may be managed through diet and nutritional supplementation.

Sleep

Sleep is an important consideration in managing body odor. As with any other change in condition that we impose on the body, getting too little sleep can trigger altered biochemistry. This can mean higher anxiety and an increased stress response, which feeds into the body odor cascade from those apocrine glands. Making sure you get adequate sleep will set you up to deal with everyday stresses more effectively and will result in less body odor.

Too little sleep also impairs the healing and repair processes that should be happening during the night. Sleep allows cells and tissues to be rebuilt and rejuvenated, and any junk the body doesn’t need is shipped out. If we don’t sleep enough, these important processes don’t happen. The body stays toxic throughout the day and hormone levels are thrown off, which sets us up for smelly sweats.

Detoxification

Most people think about the liver and the colon when they hear the word detoxification, however the skin is actually the body’s largest organ of elimination. Some experts theorize that the skin may play an important part in ridding substances that could cause the body to harbor a bad smell.

The research is conflicted with regards to how effectively sweat helps to excrete toxins from the body, but one 2011 study published in the journalArchives of Environmental and Contamination Toxicology found that “many toxic elements appeared to be preferentially excreted through sweat.”

Therefore, making sure you take time to move and exercise to get your blood flowing and to get you sweating freely is vital. Simply allow yourself to sweat without applying any antiperspirant or deodorant, and then take a quick shower afterwards to rinse off the toxic byproducts. It’s ideal if you can get your heartbeat up and work up a sweat every day. This will also promote better digestion and blood flow to the liver to promote detoxification of toxins through the blood and feces. This way there will be fewer toxins left to come out through the sweat.

Another way to promote detoxification through the skin is ayurvedic dry-brushing, where a natural bristled brush is used to stimulate the skin and lymph glands. This helps move the lymph fluid around and stimulate the glands to help remove toxins, which might otherwise contribute to worsened body odor.

Hormones

Hormones are commonly associated with puberty and sex drive, but in fact they are the molecular messengers that control virtually every function within the human body. There are many different types of hormones which play important roles, such as controlling your digestion, immunity, fertility, sleep and healing processes, among others.

The mechanisms that control the production and function of hormones are actually quite fragile, and do not stand up well to our modern environment, which is poor in nutrients and too high in toxins and stresses. It’s important to support healthy hormone balance with a conscious holistic approach to lifestyle, because an imbalance usually results in some sort of health condition.

Thyroid problems and low testosterone levels in both men and women can result in increased body odor. Many women find that their body odor changes with their monthly menstrual cycle, and may also shift with the onset of menopause, or in relation to pregnancy. These changes are normal, however, it’s important to work to stabilize hormonal production and processes by getting enough sleep and exercise and eating a nutrient-dense whole foods diet.

Dr. Joshua Zeichner, director of cosmetic and clinical research in the Department of Dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City recommends improving the smell of the body’s secretions by consuming peppermint essential oil. The oil gets absorbed into the bloodstream and can change how sweat smells. Dr. Zeichner recommends using two drops on the tongue, three times per day. Be sure to consult a trusted practitioner before starting any new natural health regime to ensure that it makes sense for you and your personal situation.

Now that you know more about the root causes of body odor, find out more about balancing your hormones, or how to get better sleep. Using smart lifestyle practices can ameliorate many of the issues that can cause bad body odor. If you incorporate some holistic recommendations, you will be well on your way to a smell-free day.

Arsenal 2-1 Burnley: Guess who’s back?

Alexis Sanchez scored the winning goal in his first start since November as Arsenal saw off a resolute Burnley 2-1 to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Sanchez, who had been sidelined for more than two months with a hamstring injury, laid on Calum Chambers for the opening goal of the game.

Sam Vokes then stunned the Emirates Stadium when he hauled Burnley level with a header after 30 minutes, but Sanchez completed a fine move shortly after the interval to seal the win.

Arsene Wenger vowed to field an experienced side for the fourth-round tie, but the Frenchman made nine changes to the team which started the 1-0 defeat against Chelsea last Sunday.

Olivier Giroud and Laurent Koscielny were the only survivors as Mohamed Elneny made his debut while Francis Coquelin was also back in Wenger’s side following a two-month injury lay-off.

Sean Dyche’s side, relegated from the Premier League last season, are bidding to bounce straight back into the big time. And for much of the opening half, they showed why they may do just that.

Andre Gray latched on to a Vokes header, but his effort sailed high and wide of David Ospina’s goal. They then should have taken the lead when Gray capitalised on a mistake by Koscielny, but his shot was straight at Arsenal’s goalkeeper.

It had been a slow start for the Gunners, but the hosts – bidding to win the FA Cup for a third consecutive season – were soon in control, and after 19 minutes came the breakthrough.

Sanchez drifted in from the left-hand side before sliding in Chambers and the former Southampton man, somewhat of a peripheral figure at the Emirates these days, bended the ball round Tom Heaton. It was only his second goal for Arsenal – both have come against Burnley.

Arsenal were enjoying more of the possession, but the visitors looked dangerous on the counter-attack and 15 minutes before half-time they found themselves level.

The Arsenal defence failed to clear their lines and, after Coquelin slipped, Tendayi Darikwa’s pinpoint cross was met by a Vokes header. It was no more than the Championship side deserved, and suddenly Arsenal found themselves in a game.

As the half-time whistle blew, while Arsenal had enjoyed greater possession, they had mustered three shots on target – only one more than the visitors.

Arsenal were slow out the blocks in the second half and it was Burnley who brought Ospina into action. Scott Arfield was allowed to coast into the Arsenal area, but his shot was saved at the second attempt by the Colombian.

It was beginning to look bleak for the hosts, before Sanchez scored what turned out to be the winner after 53 minutes.

Sanchez started the move in his own half before finding Giroud whose neat flick fell to Alex Iwobi. The youngster then laid it on to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain whose composed ball found Sanchez unmarked in the six-yard box. He could not miss, and he didn’t. Normal order was restored.

Tomas Rosicky then made his first appearance of the season after he replaced the impressive Iwobi with 20 minutes remaining before Sanchez stung the hands of Heaton with a fine free-kick.

Sanchez was given a standing ovation by the home fans when he was substituted with 11 minutes remaining, and while Burnley pushed for an equaliser – the best chance falling to Gray in the closing seconds – it was the Gunners who booked their spot in the fifth round.
