It is the most exciting time of the year for wrestling fans. WrestleMania typically marks the "season finale" for the year that was in WWE. There are always many twists and turns on the road to WrestleMania and this year is no different. Friendships tossed aside, disrespect for authority, injuries, title changes, and so much more has made up this crazy journey, and it is all about to come to an end.
Here is the official Goliath preview and predictions for WrestleMania 33.
Seth Rollins vs. Triple H
We have been waiting for this payoff since the very end of August. It took months before there was even mention by Seth that he wanted to get at HHH. When it finally happened it was obvious that their match up would take place at WrestleMania.
When Samoa Joe put the beat down on Seth the day after the Royal Rumble, there were legitimate concerns that Rollins was going to miss his second consecutive WrestleMania due to injury. There were rumblings that it may be a work, but Seth himself tweeted that it was real and he was off TV for almost 6 weeks before making an appearance. When he finally did show up unexpectedly, he received another beating, this time from HHH and the metal crutch that got him down to the ring.
It is great that they have been able to work the injury into the story with this non sanctioned stipulation, but make no mistake, if Seth was not cleared for action, he would not be wrestling.
We are all very excited that this match is actually going to happen but it is unfortunate that we didn't get the nine weeks of build up between these two.
It is safe to say that there will be some interference. Samoa Joe has nothing to do this weekend so you can expect to see him at some point during this match. All signs are pointing to Finn Balor making his return very VERY soon, so it is possible that Finn make his presence known and comes to the aid of Rollins.
With Rollins missing last year and almost missing this year, with HHH being a part timer at best, expect the WWE to do Seth a solid and pick up the victory in what will likely be a grueling match.
Seth Rollins Defeats HHH
Bray Wyatt vs. Randy Orton
Lets start off with a strange one. Does anyone remember how these guys got to this point? Does it even matter?
Going all the way back to the fall of 2016 these two were not only bumping heads, but playing mind games with each other. Eventually Randy was finding that he just couldn't win, and "if you can't beat them, join them".
Now here we are, WrestleMania 33, and we find out (as most of us were expecting) that Randy was just trying to destroy Bray from the inside and burn everything he loves to the ground. Not only did he succeed in breaking up the Wyatt Family, he literally did burn Bray's compound to the ground, including Sister Abigail's Remains.
All of this begs the question, who is the heel in this confusing story? Is it the guy that was finally seeing success as the new WWE champion, or is it the guy that burned down a building and the remains of a dead body with it? This seems like it should be an easy answer, however it now seems like Bray is stronger than every before after baptising himself in Sister Abigail's ashes. Randy seems lost again and doesn't know what else to do to defeat Bray.
Randy does everything he can in the match to defeat Bray Wyatt, however we will see Bray summon the power of Sister Abigail and score the victory.
Bray retains the belt and defeats Randy Orton
Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar
This is a no brainer. When it comes to part time guys holding belts, it becomes fairly easy to predict the outcome of their title reign.
These two have been going at each other for quite a while now. The pay off should have been at Survivor Series with a one and done match. Goldberg could have been sent off into the sunset with his family and a 1-1 record against The Beast Incarnate. Clearly, we were all swerved on this because NO ONE saw the squash on Brock Lesnar coming. It wasn't a bad thing, and its been fun having Goldberg back. Should he be holding the Universal Championship? Maybe not, but to have this match mean anything at all, there had to be something added, otherwise, why do the same thing over again.
Full disclosure, anything can happen. Maybe both guys are signed on longer than anyone truly knows and the result won't be as predictable. That being said, this is an easy choice. Brock will be one of the only wrestlers to ever kick out of the Jackhammer, likely within the first two minutes to fake another squash match and go on to win the Universal Championship. While I don't expect this to be a five minute match, I can't see it going over ten minutes for the simple fact that Goldberg, no matter how great he looks, won't be able to go that long.
Brock beats Goldberg to become the NEW Universal Champion
The Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns
The Undertaker is on the verge of a milestone which makes this prediction more difficult than first thought.
It would be easy to have Taker come up with the victory at WrestleMania 33 to continue his incredible legacy. However, with the loss to Brock at WM30, isn't that legacy already somewhat tarnished? Would losing another WrestleMania match really matter?
This has a "passing of the guard" feel to it, or in this case "passing of the yard". While Taker is beloved, and having him win would sure get a great reaction from the crowd and from the fans at home, does anyone actually believe that Taker could beat the Big Dog, Roman Reigns? There has been some real excitement seeing The Deadman week to week on RAW, but seeing him week to week has reminded us all that this really could be it. The quick sit up isn't as sharp as it used to be, it actually looks hard for him to get up after taking a bump, and all in all, he is just not quick enough to be in there and put on a great match.
HOPEFULLY the WWE does this right and has Roman go full heel after beating a major fan favourite on the grandest stage of them all.
The Undertaker says farewell and goes to 23-2 with this loss to Roman Reigns.
John Cena & Nikki Bella vs. The Miz & Maryse
At first glance, this match up is a "WTF" type of match up.
How on earth could John Cena, arguably the biggest name in WWE history, be in a mix tag with his real life girlfriend against The Miz and Maryse. When was the last time Maryse even wrestled? She is a former champion, but she hasn't been in the ring in quite some time.
Rumours are swirling that this is Nikki's last match for quite a while, possibly ever. Her neck, although heeled and cleared to wrestle, is still an obvious point of concern. Looking at that alone, its easy to think that this is Cena doing a big favour for Nikki and helping her go out in style. Cena also is rumoured to be taking a break from the WWE which would likely give him time to film his next movie.
Miz and Maryse have HAMMERED home that they believe Nikki and John are a fake couple and are only in it for the fame and money. This is insulting to them because they are real and they are the "it" couple in WWE. They capped this off with an incredible parody of Total Bellas that may be the best thing the WWE writers have done in a long time. They have put credibility and intrigue into this feud and made it must watch TV.
Nikki will get the send off she deserves. The Miz and Cena will do the brunt of the work but ultimately Nikki will get the pin on Maryse for the victory.
John Cena and Nikki Bella defeat The Miz and Maryse
P.S. An added prediction: John Cena gets down on one knee after the victory and proposes to Nikki in front of the sold out crowd at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
Shane McMahon vs. AJ Styles
If a McMahon needs to have a match at WrestleMania, it makes sense that it is Shane. He is a little crazy and will put his body on the line for the brand and for the fans. All you have to do is look at last years leap off the Cell.
Shane is less than a part timer in the ring though, so if he has to be there, they couldn't have picked anyone better that AJ Styles. The Phenomenal One is arguably the best professional wrestler in the world. Not WWE, but the entire world. This will be one heck of a match and we can only imagine the things they might do.
At first, the thought of this match up was less then exciting. It felt like a big waste of the talent that is AJ Styles. Boy, were we wrong. After the best backstage beat down we have seen since the Attitude era, and the way Shane attacked AJ on Smackdown, We care. The Shane surprise attack concluded with an bang when he landed an incredible flying elbow from the top rope on to AJ who was struggling to get to his feet on the announcers desk.
It seems incredibly silly to hear the announcers and Daniel Bryan tell AJ that he doesn't know what he has got himself into after everything Styles has gone through since losing his title to Cena at the Royal Rumble. If anything Shane is the one in trouble, why anyone would think AJ should be afraid of Shane is beyond comprehension. It should be the other way around.
AJ and Shane have a crazy spot filled match but ultimately AJ comes out on top and defeats the SmackDown Live Commissioner.
AJ defeats Shane
Bayley vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax
This seemed to be the only way to get all of the RAW Women into the show. We're not complaining because this has all the makings of a great match.
The push that Nia Jax has received is a bit shocking, however it is also believable. She is big and she is strong. The way she has been able to toss Bayley and Sasha around the last few weeks (minus a sneaky roll up loss to Sasha) has put her into the spotlight. It would be very unfortunate for Nia to get this push, be this dominant, and then eat the first pin and be eliminated.
They have really focused on how close Sasha and Bayley are as friends and that of course means that will not last much longer. It is too soon to have Bayley turn heel and therefore we must assume it will be Sasha that makes the turn. The best way to do that is to have Bayley pin Sasha and eliminate her first.
With Sasha gone, you can expect a bit of a gang up on Bayley by Charlotte and Nia before the tide eventually turns. Charlotte will realize she needs Bayley in order to eliminate Nia and that she can't do it alone. Nia will be eliminated, likely by a double pin by Charlotte and Bayley.
Charlotte has put a lot of effort into making Bayley out to be a "paper champion" as it was Sasha that helped Bayley win the title in the first place. That should end as Bayley will get the clean, unassisted pin to take the victory.
Bayley retains the Raw Women's Championship by defeating Sasha, Nia, and Charlotte
Chris Jericho vs. Kevin Owens
This may be the match that everyone is most excited about. The story that has led up to this match has been long and it has been fantastic… Oh yeah, it is also for the United States Championship.
It is not very often that a story completely outshines the belt that is on the line. Yes, it is only the U.S. title, but it is still a belt none the less. Jericho and Owens have done an incredible job telling this story. The friendship itself was always hit and never miss. We knew the turn would come, but the way it happened during the festival of friendship shocked everyone and turned out to be one of the greatest turns in WWE history.
Since then we met the "REAL" Kevin Owens and there couldn't have been a better picture to mark out to than KO wearing a Y2J shirt, doing the arms out, fist clenched stance that Jericho made famous. It takes you back to your childhood, probably owning the same Y2J shirt. Now Kevin Owens gets to face an actual hero of his at WrestleMania. It doesn't really get any better than that.
Unfortunately we know that Jericho is going on tour with Fozzy soon which means that he will be taking some time away. Very rarely do superstars take a leave from the WWE and do so as a champion. This match could very easily be Match of the Night, but Kevin Owens will come out on top.
Owens defeats Jericho and becomes the NEW United States Champion
Dean Ambrose vs. Baron Corbin
The build up for this match started back at SmackDown's last exclusive PPV, the Elimination Chamber. you wouldn't think that was a long time for a proper build up, however that was two months ago.
Dean Ambrose and Baron Corbin have been back and forth, but mostly it has been Corbin laying the beat down on Ambrose each week. The odd thing is that each one of these confrontations has happened everywhere except for in the ring. The reason I say that is odd is because the match seems to be just a regular one on one with no stipulations.
Would this not be the perfect time for a street fight? A no DQ? An I quit match? It is odd that it is just a straight up one-on-one wrestling match. It seemed logical for the WWE to give Ambrose the match he was hoping to have with Lesnar last year.
Corbin has received a decent push and being on SmackDown has been great for him. On many occasions he has looked strong and they have protected him. For those reasons, expect Corbin to go over with a victory and beat Dean Ambrose at WrestleMania 33.
Corbin defeats Ambrose and becomes the NEW Intercontinental Champion
Champion Alexa Bliss to defend against all female SmackDown LIVE Superstars who are available to compete
Like the Raw Women's match, this is the best way to get everyone involved. There has been very little build up for this, but as there has been no real story for the championship after Alexa won it back, this was the only thing that made sense.
We saw a friendship split between Mickie James and Alexa bliss, but that has pretty well been the only thing of importance to really take place. We have seen the girls get together and brawl but there is nothing really pointing to how this match will go and where the belt will end up once the match is over.
The WWE has been very persistent in stating that Alexa will defend against "all women who are available to compete". This is a clear sign that there will be some sort of surprise addition. The obvious choice here would be Naomi. There has been very little reported on her status but it is her home town, and a surprise addition would be pretty special for her and her family.
The other option here, is Asuka. There has been no indication on SmackDown Live that the NXT Women's Champion would even be considered. However, it has been a couple months now that she has been on the road with the SmackDown roster doing house shows. This of course doesn't mean she will be at WrestleMania, but they certainly aren't hiding the fact that she could be on her way VERY soon, so why not?
This is a hard one to predict, so lets go out on a limb here. Naomi is in fact a surprise entrant and the WWE goes back to the program they started at Elimination Chamber with Naomi victorious and laying the pin on anyone else other than Alexa.
Naomi Defeats all and is the NEW SmackDown Women's Champion
Neville vs. Austin Aries
It is extremely unfortunate that this will be on the Kick Off show. Typically the cruiserweight matches are more of a "bathroom break" part of the show however, the last few weeks the cruiserweights have put on some incredible matches both on RAW and 205Live
Neville has been a major bright spot for a division that seemed like it was going to fail. He really has brought it back to life, but he didn't do it alone. With great matches against Rich Swan, Mustafa Ali and of course the Fastlane show stealer against Jack Gallagher, there was some real excitement for this WrestleMania match against Austin Aries.
Aries made a triumphant return on RAW when he clocked Neville with the microphone while trying to conduct an interview with him. Since then the two have been jawing back and forth at each other, all while having terrific matches separately. The prediction was going to be that these two would once again have the cruiserweights steal the show at WrestleMania by having the best wrestling match. The crowd would have started quiet, but by the end they would have been on there feet biting at every false finish. With this match on the kick off show now, very few people will witness it live.
A Double and Neville will have a phenomenal match. It may not get the recognition it will deserve but it will still be a must watch. In order to keep the story going and keep the momentum with the cruiserweights going, expect Neville to retain, but don't expect Austin Aries to go away quietly following WrestleMania 33.
Neville defeats Austin Aries to retain the Cruiserweight Championship
Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson vs. Enzo Amore & Big Cass vs. Cesaro & Sheamus
If there has ever been a division that needs a major overhaul, this may be it. Not just the RAW show, but both shows. The SmackDown belts aren't even on the card at all.
The time is now to put the belts on Enzo and Cass. They need to do something big to put a spotlight back on these divisions. It can't JUST be by calling up the Revival and DIY after WrestleMania (if that were to even happen).
The way this story has unfolded is a cluster of nonsense. These three teams have been fighting each other ever since Cesaro and Sheamus beat The New Day back in December at Roadblock: End of the Line. Gallows and Anderson are much better than they have been used and it is a shame that this title run has been tainted by a lack of talent in the division and some very poor writing.
This is it for Enzo and Cass. They will revive this division going forward by winning at WrestleMania 33.
Enzo and Cass defeat the Club and Shesaro to become your NEW RAW Tag Team Champions.
The Fourth Annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
These are usually the hardest to predict, especially because you don't really know who is actually in it. We do however know a few names. Those being Mojo Rawley, Apollo Crews, Curt Hawkins, Sami Zayn, Braun Strowman and the Big Show.
Of course the ring will be full and we will probably see a surprise or two. Last year we saw Tatanka and Shaq, so it is exciting to think we could see something totally unexpected.
That being said, this year should be fairly easy to predict. Braun Strowman and The Big Show will run through the Battle Royal and be the last two standing. We have already seen these two face off however with the match against Shaq cancelled, The Big Show needed something to do. Their first match was fantastic and while they will both be fairly tired by the end, we can expect them to put on a decent show before Braun sends The Big Show over the top ropes for the victory.
Braun Strowman wins the Andre the Giant Battle Royal

Everyone can see how black your soul is
when you laugh. It's in the teeth,
the residue of every sin you've ever spent
resting darkly in the apertures.
You always wanted to be something more
than a stack of dental bills weakening a drawer.
You say you haven't had a scream in a long time,
that screaming helps to rationalise the silence.
You keep your hair smooth and your lashes curled
in case the galaxy knocks at your door
asking to make a star of you.
The only catch is that one day,
light years from now, you will explode.
"Classic me," you'll say as you expand,
as though you are a white bed sheet
billowing on the washing line
and the universe is a child caught
in your suffocating glow.

Looking for a dish to JAZZ up your dinners? :) Then look no further than this lightened up jambalaya!
This dish is based off of Emeril Lagasse's recipe for Cajun Jambalaya. Emeril is the very FIRST chef I ever watched on television. This was back before Food Network actually published their recipes online for you to download. No, it wasn't that easy, you actually had to work for the recipes. I remember watching the show with my mom, her and I sitting in front of the television with notepad and pen in hand, listening ever so closely and writing down every ingredient as fast as we could. Was that 1 clove or 50 cloves of gah-lick!? I trust his recipes, especially when it comes to Creole cooking.
In true Emeril style, this isn't the lightest of dishes. This is my take on his dish, cutting the fat in half from the original recipe! You'll be surprised with how quick and easy this seemingly complex dish is. I was able to bang this meal out in 30 minutes - ideal for a weeknight dinner!
Shrimp and Sausage Jambalaya
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/3 cup yellow onion, chopped
- 1/3 cup bell pepper, chopped
- 2 tsp garlic, chopped
- 1/2 cup crushed red tomatoes (canned)
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 tsp hot sauce
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 3/4 cup white rice
- 10 oz shrimp, uncooked and thawed
- Creole seasoning (below)
- 2 Andouille chicken or pork sausage links, lower in fat compared to traditional Andoullie sausage (I recommend Aidells all-natural sausages http://www.aidells.com/product/5)
Emeril's Creole Seasoning
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat olive oil and sauté onion and peppers until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add garlic, tomatoes, bay leaf and hot sauce. Stir to combine.
- Next stir in rice and chicken stock. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium low and cover. Continue to stir occasionally until all liquid has been absorbed, about 10-15 min.
- While rice is cooking, combine Creole seasoning with shrimp until shrimp is evenly seasoned. Set aside. Slice sausage links.
- Once all liquid has been absorbed, add shrimp and sausage, bringing the heat back up to medium. Stir occasionally until shrimp is cooked, about 10 minutes. Plate and enjoy!

is a brand new feature length documentary film that we plan to begin filming in early 2018. Inspired by a short documentary of the same name, Bearpark feature film will explore issues relating rehabilitation from the criminal justice system. The characters in our story have all found boxing to be their guiding light, and the center of our film is Bearpark Boxing Gym, in County Durham, England.
Gary Crooks
Bearpark is an ex-colliery town that was badly affected by the miners strikes, and the ultimate demise of coal mining in England in the 1980's and 1990's. Gary grew up with little education in a time of severe austerity, and spent his childhood stealing food and coal to stay warm and fed. Over the years this escalated into a life of crime, and Gary was given two prison sentences for violent crimes against the person. In his second prison term Gary learned to read and write, and eventually began to realise his self worth.
Now, years later Gary has turned his life around and uses his respected and influential position in the community he grew up in to discourage young people from taking the path in life he chose.
Since the making of our short film 'Bearpark' in 2014 Gary has become joint founder of Positive Directions NE, and has this summer won a two year contract with HMP Durham. His company is tasked with motivating inmates to make use of the various training and educational programmes available to them. This is considered a good step towards positive rehabilitation.
Gary uses 'Bearpark' as a unique way to communicate his background with the inmates, and has at times received a standing ovation. Once the inmates realise Gary was once in their position, they begin to trust him. For many inmates Gary is the only person they've ever met who's been successful in turning their life around. Positive Directions NE believe our short film was instrumental in winning the contract with HMP Durham.
Since the original film, MadeGood has kept a strong relationship with Gary and the Bearpark boxing community, and are now about to embark on a more ambitious, feature length project.
Old time friend and equally respected in the community, Paul Hubber works at the more spacious and better equipped Unity Gym in Durham. Fighters wanting a little more are referred to Paul for expert training, though will typically continue to train at Gary's Bearpark community gym in parallel. Working like a tag-team partnership, Gary and Paul regularly lean on each other to provide their fighters with the professional and emotional support they need.
Paul grew up with a reputation as a fighter more outside of the ring than in, and worked an honest job as a supermarket security guard. Much like Gary, Paul's intentions were always good, but it wasn't until he found the Unity Gym and became a boxing coach that he really started having an impact on peoples lives. One of Paul's activities in the gym is preparing novice boxers for their first 3 round fight at a quarterly Ultra White Collar Boxing Event. So far Paul and the Unity Gym have helped raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for cancer research, and turned countless peoples lives around in the process.
Glen had a difficult start in life. Growing up with very few positive role models, he fell in with a bad crowd and quickly turned to a life of drugs and crime. Glen spent the first few adult years of his life in prison.
Reaching rock bottom, Glen realised that to make a change he needed to start getting more people into his life. Glen stumbled on Bearpark Gym and was introduced to Gary, who in turn introduced him to boxing. Craving discipline and direction, boxing turned out to be the exact focus that Glen was looking for. Before long, Glen was referred to Paul and the Unity Gym to prepare for his first Ultra White Collar Boxing event.
Since then Glen has become more serious about boxing and has had several more fights. He very much sees Paul as his mentor. Now clean from drugs, Glen is training to become a professional plummer, and has truly turned his life around. Without boxing, and the help of Paul, Gary and others like them, Glen may never have been able to start his recovery.
Bearpark feature length documentary film will follow a young person at a similar crossroads to where Gary found himself in his youth. In a town so close to one of the UK's leading red-brick Universities, Bearpark's younger generation struggle to find inspiration and opportunity. Where fighting outside the ring is often a way of life, many seek a better future through boxing. In Gary's own words, he tends to be so much more than just a boxing coach, he's their ear, and their guide. But is Gary's lifetime of experience and tireless dedication enough to keep them off the streets and out of prison?
Combat sports are dangerous, and when a fighter enters the ring they put their life on the line. Training for a fight is a search for one's own physical and mental limits, It takes discipline, dedication, and complete trust between trainer and fighter. We'll follow our protagonist over a 3 to 6 month period as, Gary at Bearpark Boxing Gym, and Paul at the Unity Gym Durham, train them for the fight of their life so far, and the climax of our film.
This feature film is a much more ambitious than our original short movie, and has the potential to reach a bigger audience with an inspirational message. In the process of making this film we will create viral clips, interviews and a mini-website within www.madegood.com to host a crowdfunding project aiming to raise over £10,000 for Bearpark community gym, that will be promoted by the film and launched at the same time. MadeGood.films is now looking for funding possibilities to make this feature length documentary and crowdfunding project.

Quantum Dots Can Get Nearby Neurons Firing
The quantum dot has many super powers. It can capture light energy for solar panels, team up with LEDs to emit entangled photons, and according to new research, activate neurons in a Petri dish. Quantum dots are tiny bits of semiconductor material, and their unique properties coming from being so small—no more than 10 nanometers across—that they're governed by weird rules of the quantum world. Quantum dots are already used in biology to label individual cells or proteins. But now, quantum dots are no longer just labels; they can change how neurons behave.
When a light shines on them, quantum dots generate a small electric field that causes the ion channels of a nearby neuron to open, activating it. What's exciting about quantum dots versus, say, electrodes, which are used in therapies like deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's, is that it may be possible to get them in there without cracking the skull open: The researchers suggest quantum dots can be put in place by tagging them to proteins that target specific neurons in the brain. However—and this is where the caveats begin—proteins have a tough time crossing the blood-brain barrier, so they'd have to be injected directly into the cerebrospinal fluid. Then, of course, there's the problem of how to get light into the brain.
Actual use of quantum dots in humans for treatment is still a long way off—but it's exciting that they can jump-start neurons just by hanging around nearby.

President Trump invited Prime Minister Theresa May to the White House and has been trying to strengthen US-UK relations. Not everybody is happy about that.
President Trump loves the UK – and seems pleased with the way that Britons voted to leave the European Union (EU). As the Atlantic Council's Reginald Dale said, describing Trump's views: "He's very pro-British, and he doesn't like the EU."
For critics of the administration, Trump's invitation to May – she's the first foreign leader to meet with the new president – and his efforts to build a closer relationship with the UK are a troubling development.
These critics see Brexit, a term that's used to describe a country's process of leaving the European Union, as a disaster.
The detractors worry that Trump will try to leverage his friendship with May and her fellow Britons as a way to express support for Brexit – and in this way will encourage more countries to leave the European Union.
On Friday afternoon, Trump and May stood together in the White House's East Room, an open space with an oak floor.
The room was decorated with marble-topped fireplaces, white candles and heavy, gold curtains (a George Washington portrait, one that was first hung on a wall in the room in 1800, was not in its usual spot).
The two leaders were in a place that was steeped in tradition – as is the so-called special relationship, a friendship between the US and the UK that dates back generations. For Trump and May, though, it's all new.
They'd met only the day before in Philadelphia, where they were both attending a US congressional retreat. When White House officials first sent out a schedule for the president's meeting with May, they spelled her name wrong, inadvertently dropping the "h" in Theresa.
Still, they had good intentions – and big plans. At the White House, the two leaders discussed Russia, counterterrorism and defence issues.
They're open to the possibility of a trade deal between the US and the UK. It could only be signed once the UK leaves the European Union, a process that will take years. But on Friday they seemed eager to get started.
"Opposites attract," May has told reporters. Understated and reserved, she has a different style than Trump. Still, she said recently that she's "not afraid to speak frankly to a president of the United States".
On Friday – at least in the East Room – they got along well. It was an auspicious beginning for a "most special relationship", as he put it. They stood at identical podiums – six to eight feet apart. She wore a paisley scarf, while he had on a bright-red, wide tie.
For most of the 18-minute press conference, they smiled at each other.
At one point she congratulated him on his "stunning" victory. He looked at people in the audience, a group made up of presidential aides and reporters, as if he wanted to make sure that they'd heard what she said.
"We're going to have a fantastic relationship," he told them. A moment later he spoke exuberantly about Brexit. Then the mood changed, slightly.
Up until that point, she'd been all smiles. As he spoke about Brexit, though, she looked sombre. She glanced at the people in the audience, as if she were trying to gauge their reaction to his remarks.
Afterwards she spoke briefly about the way that they both value "ordinary working people". Then he picked up his notes, which had been typed out on sheets of paper, and put them into the pocket in his jacket. They left the room together in a show of solidarity.
Their alliance rests on a solid foundation. In a speech on Thursday, May spoke about the friendship between Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, two icons for conservatives in the US.
Conservatives at think-tanks in Washington have been quick to bring up this friendship when talking about the relationship between the current prime minister and the president. "Instinctively, Trump – you know – really likes Britain," said Nile Gardiner of the Heritage Foundation.
So do Trump's aides. When Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, uses the phrase, "special relationship", he's not being snarky. "I think we've always had that special relationship," he told a reporter at a White House briefing on 23 January. "But we can always be closer."
Things were different with the Obama White House officials. They liked the Britons, too, but they gently mocked the phrase "special relationship". This reflected their views about foreign policy in Europe.
As Charles Kupchan, who was a senior adviser in the Obama White House, told me the relationship between the US and the UK was important. But the president was focused on Berlin, not London. "Diplomacy," Kupchan said, "tilted towards the Continent".
This became more pronounced after UK voters expressed their desire to leave the European Union.
Trump administration officials supported the decision of UK voters to leave the European Union, and in the aftermath they've been hoping for a deeper friendship between Americans and Britons and their leaders.
The perception of a newfound closeness of the two leaders has rattled some Europeans.
Guy Verhofstadt, a former Belgium prime minister, was visiting Washington this week to promote his book, Europe's Last Chance: Why the European States Must Form a More Perfect Union.
While speaking with reporters on Thursday, he described ways that Trump has tried to undermine the European alliance. Verhofstadt said he believes that Trump is "hoping" more countries will leave – and "disintegrate the European Union".
Gardiner knows that not everyone is happy about the renewed relationship between the US and the UK or about the developments in Europe. But he wishes they'd embrace the new order.
"Brexit is about sovereignty, self determination and freedom," Gardiner told me. "These are all great things." Anyway there's not much the detractors can do about it, he said, adding: "The winds of change are blowing through Europe."

Once again Instagram has given us an inside look at a rapper's whip game. This time it's Ludacris, as last night he tweeted a picture of the GMC truck from Fast Five that was blown up by a rocket launcher in the the movie's trailer. It looks like he's thrown a new set of rims on for a little bit of style, too. What do you think of him choosing an actual functional vehicle rather than one of the hundreds of other amazing cars in the movie?

I've talked about it a few times here before, but there is a revolution currently taking place in baseball, and one that could have (and has) a profound effect on how the game is played, and how teams are run by general managers.
The revolution, which is one of a statistical nature, is commonly referred to as Sabermetrics, which comes from the Society for American Baseball Research, or SABR. While most of this stuff is still underground, at least to the layperson, the success of the movie (and book) Moneyball, which chronicles one GM's fight against traditional statistics and operating styles, has brought a lot of attention to stats like WAR and xFIP, as well as the methodology behind scouting players.
So, it was only a matter of time before we learned how the Phillies front office feels about all this newfangled information, thanks to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Bob Brookover. Ordinarily, a piece about how a baseball team is keeping up with the times would be interesting, but in this case, it comes off like a hit piece, in which the principle actors (Ruben Amaro Jr. and company) sound uninterested and unwilling to adapt to the changing times.
Now, I understand that not everyone is in with the whole statistical revolution thing. Like most industry-changing ideas and theories, it's an acquired taste because it flies in the face of what has been considered commonplace, such as the eye test, traditional scouting practices, and so on. And it's not as if stats have not been used in the past -- most players can be more-or-less summed up by what's on the back of his baseball card.
But there are greater things at play here, and it's wrong to outright ignore them or summarily dismiss them. In any other field, if you willfully ignored a set of data that would improve your job performance or end up in you creating a better product, you'd be called an idiot at best, and you'd be fired at worst.
That's not to say that the brass in Philly aren't paying attention to it, but to dismiss it like it appears that they have done -- at least based on what Brookover wrote -- is foolish. It's one thing to be skeptical, but it's another thing to ignore it altogether.
The naysayers of the statistical revolution -- they are many -- will point to the fact that the Oakland A's haven't won a World Series under the Moneyball Regime, and that it's alchemy and black magic that doesn't mean anything. But, it is worth noting that the winning the World Series isn't the only sign of success, because baseball -- like everything else -- is beholden to chaos and randomness, and the best team doesn't always win. Underdogs crop up, balls take bad bounces, and Cody Ross can own Roy Halladay in October.
Advanced stats are not a one-size-fit-all solution, but they are not intended to be. Their purpose is to compliment the traditional stats so that we may fully realize and understand the game in greater detail. If a team chooses to ignore a new tome of information, then that's their decision. And if they can succeed without it, more power to them. But in this blogger's opinion, you can only benefit from having more information, not suffer from it.
Are the Phillies more tuned in to the same team-building methodologies that have been embraced by teams like the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox? It certainly doesn't sound like it, but with an aging team and a bloated payroll, we can only hope that, going forward, they will be more proactive, not reactive.
*If you're interested in a more thorough fisking of Brookover's piece, as well as some great columns on advanced stats -- the very same that the Phillies don't pay attention to -- then be sure to check out Crashburn Alley. They've got a crew of great writers, and enough information to keep you entertained for hours on end.

It's no secret that we at Scriberia believe you can say as much with one really hardworking illustration as you can with several pages of text. But that being said, we know that well-chosen, well-designed words have a huge role to play in maximising visual meaning.
The trick, when it comes to typography, is making it integral to the image – not an after-thought. When executed with imagination, creativity, wit and sensitivity to the context, typography can add a rich layer of meaning.
Our super-scribe Lauren is a self-confessed typography nerd. Her fascination stems from the challenge of reinventing the alphabet, those hardworking shapes with which we are all so familiar. So, with that in mind, here are Lauren's top five typographers and her favourite examples of their work.
Andy Smith
Smith's work is full to the brim with ideas. He's a master of an enormous range of typefaces, and always manages to organise them within tricky and busy layouts. This mind-blowingly detailed piece in particular, reminds me of the rich pictures we produce in our studio. It's so important that not an inch of space is wasted, every stylistic decision and stroke of the pen has meaning, and every word - whether horizontal or vertical - is integral to the structure of the image overall. www.asmithillustration.com
Oli Frape
Frape's work reminds us why hand painted typography is just as relevant as digital lettering. This piece is particularly brilliant for its witty charm, and shows how typography can be used to build in structure for other visuals. It's a great example of typography as content. Frape's curly, wispy font provides the perfect texture for a chicken's feathers. And each letter works hard to fill its space - not a feather out of place. olifrape.co.uk
Dana Tanamachi
Whenever I think of chalk typography, Dana Tanamachi's name is the first that springs to mind. She breaks the boundaries of signwriting and chalk typography with her fresh approach to a seemingly old-fashioned crafts. She modernises them in her unique style with her mix of typefaces, intricate flourishes and contrasting patterns. www.tanamachistudio.com
Gemma O'Brien
Gemma is an Australian illustrator, whose exceptional skills range from hand-drawn calligraphy to large-scale murals. She has a huge online presence and posts a lot of her work-in-progress on Instagram, which is a great way of demystifying the creative process. My favourite project of hers is the sick bag challenge, where she endeavoured to draw spew-related puns on sick bags during long-haul flights. Having to complete the drawing by the end of the flight, the project shows how constraints - on time, space or materials - benefit creativity. The project also proves that you don't need expensive canvases or graphic equipment to flex your creative muscle. www.gemmaobrien.com
Linzie Hunter
Linzie's work is colourful, playful, and always busy with a range of interesting type faces. This diversity makes her a great source of inspiration for us scribes.I particularly enjoy her confident use of colour combinations on hand-lettered maps. As well as her 2015 New Year Resolution illustrations, which took a handful of humorous resolutions from social media and played around with different fonts and flourishes. www.linziehunter.co.uk

UW's Submarine racing team currently participates in two major competitions:
The International Submarine Race (ISR), hosted in Maryland, US during odd years. The pioneering submarine competition, with over 13th editions since 1989, this is where records are set and break. Over 21 teams participate in the ISR every edition. WatSub will first participate in ISR #14 in 2017.
ISR is hosted in the legendary David Taylor Model Basin (Read more here), one of the largest ship model basins, operated by the United States Navy. Read more here.
The European International Submarine Race (eISR), hosted in Gosport, UK during even years. A newer chapter on the submarine racing competitions, going for its 3rd edition in 2016.10 teams participate in the eISR every edition. WatSub will first participate in eISR 3rd in 2016.
Unlike the American competition (ISR), the "race track" consists of not only a straight, but also a series of turns -slalom- which add more to the challenge. Read more here.

The Thames Barrier is the world's second largest floor barrier, located downstream of central London (i.e. East London). Still quite a hike, but I relish an opportunity to get out to the other end of London from my home way out West. Opened in 1984 it spans 500m across the river and protects 125sq km (48sq miles) of London, including an estimated 1.25 million people, £200 billion worth of property and infrastructure, a large proportion of the London tube network and many historic buildings, power supplies, hospitals and schools.
The Environment Agency had a few tents on the Information Centre car park with demonstrations, models and maps. It all looked very impressive and I enjoyed my mini geek-out learning about a small but significant aspect of civil engineering that makes this city stay afloat.
In 2014/2015 the barrier was raised 50 times — each time preventing flooding of the London area.
At approximately 17:15 an announcement over the tannoy informed us that "The Thames Barrier will be lowered in 10 minutes". And so it was. Slowly, with informative commentary we were told about each gate and the way in which they are lowered, or raised.

To increase the momentum of military Veteran training in the trucking industry, FASTPORT has joined ranks with the Commercial Vehicle Driver Association (CVTA) and spoke at the association's spring conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Collectively and individually, the CVTA' s membership is to "raise the bar" within the trucking industry, and increasing the Veteran population in CDL training academies is an important step toward achieving that goal.
CVTA member schools train about 50,000 drivers per year, many of whom are Veterans. In these classes, Veterans have shown to be some of the most talented and dedicated graduates. CVTA is the largest trade association representing the interests of truck driving schools, students and the businesses that depend on their services.
Working with members and partners on critical industry issues, CVTA is helping shape the future of safer transportation. FASTPORT is honored to participate in the networking event to address another way for the industry to access military Veterans who are hard-wired to succeed in professional driving roles.
"FASTPORT is thrilled to participate in the CVTA's Spring Conference because our work together will connect more talented student drivers with employers who are ready and eager to hire them onto their teams after graduation," said FASTPORT President Brad Bentley. "Our mutual goal is to raise the standard for training for professional drivers and to help those exceptional drivers find gainful employment."
"Events like this are essential to push this important work forward as we receive input and support from leading training institutions," Bentley concluded.
Throughout the conference, the CVTA's united membership worked to examine the current state of CDL training and discuss how it can continue to be improved for future student drivers. The important collaboration allowed each member school and the association's leadership to offer ideas on how to ensure that America's highways and roadways are in the hands of the safest professional drivers possible.
Since military Veterans have a proven track record of being some of the safest drivers in the industry, FASTPORT has partnered with Kenworth and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Hiring Our Heroes Program to donate a Kenworth T680 truck to a deserving Veteran in the Transition Trucking: Driving for Excellence Award.
Bentley encouraged schools and carriers attending the conference to nominate a Veteran who has become an outstanding driver for the program, as this will 1) award his or her incredible work in the industry, 2) help recognize Veteran impact on the industry, and 3) inspire more military service members to consider careers in the trucking industry.
In addition to Bentley, speakers at the CVTA conference included:
- Bill Livingood - Keynote Speaker
- Former Sergeant at Arms (36th), United States House of Representatives
- Bob Costello
- Chief Economist & Vice President, American Trucking Associations (ATA)
- Dave Osiecki
- Executive Vice President and Chief of National Advocacy, American Trucking Associations (ATA)
- Drew Daly
- Managing Director, Omnitracs Analytics
- Dr. Ron Knipling
- President, Safety for the Long Haul Inc.
- Kevin R. Lewis
- Director, Driver Programs, American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators
- Donald E. Hudson II, Esq.
- In-House Counsel, Career Path Training Corp.
- Brittany J. Sakata
- Partner, Roth Doner Jackson, PLC.
Professional drivers keep America moving, and events like the CVTA conference enable CDL training academies to maintain the best education possible for our student drivers, particularly those students with military experience.
To nominate a Veteran for the Transition Trucking: Driving for Excellence Award, visit transitiontrucking.org. The nomination window is now open.

Kourtney Kardashian: I 'can't even wrap my head around' getting back with Scott Disick
Kourtney Kardashian is still ways away from ever getting back together with her ex, Scott Disick.
In a brand new preview clip from an upcoming episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," Kourtney is seen talking with her mother, Kris Jenner, and sister, Khloe Kardashian, over a grand lunch of -- what else? -- chopped salads.
SEE ALSO: Kendall Jenner talks causing a 'ruckus' in her neighborhood: 'I had stalkers'
When the issue of Scott Disick's upcoming Las Vegas birthday party comes up, Kourtney reveals that she isn't sure how she feels.
"I don't know [if I'm going]," she tells her family. "I said I would have to decide last minute [and] see what's going on with the kids."
Of course, Kourtney shares three children with Disick: Mason, Penelope and Reign. The pair have been broken up for a while, though rumors of an alleged reconciliation have been swirling for a while. They remain best friends and live very close to one another.
See photos of Kourtney and Scott together:

"Scott invited me to his birthday party in las vegas, and I'm just not sure if I want to go," she confesses in the clip. "I mean, I'm so happy that Scott and I are getting along so well -- and that we're co-parenting -- but I think hanging out with Scott without the kids ... Scott can just take any little thing and run with it and think that, like, we're getting back together tomorrow."
"Right now, I can't even wrap my head around that idea," she continues. "There's so much work that would be involved, and I'm so not even there yet."

The transformative nature of blood has inspired deep thinkers of theology as well as the crass schlockmeisters of cheap-o horror. For Spike Lee, his newest picture Da Sweet Blood of Jesus is a hearty gulp from both glasses.
Shot on a shoestring budget (and partially crowdfunded through Kickstarter) this tale of hemato-addicted lovers has a few gross-out moments, but is more interested in stylized, jazzy performances set in manicured interiors with a high-definition snap than it is in jump scares. While the story could be reduced to a standard slasher of the VHS era, Lee's presentation is rooted in European arthouse cinema, resulting in a peculiar film that may be uneven, but is too unique and enjoyable to dismiss.
Based on Bill Gunn's 1973 cult film Ganja & Hess (originally recut as the more splatter-focused Blood Couple before a more recent resurrection) Da Sweet Blood of Jesus stars Stephen Tyrone Williams as Dr Greene, a blueblood scholar of African art and artefacts. He comes into possession of a cursed Ashanti blade that, after a run-in with his suicidal project assistant, ends up piercing him. Thus he is made invincible, but with this comes the thirst for human blood.
So far, fairly standard, but the opening 45 minutes play out in an energetic, disorienting swirl of remarkable production design, wall-to-wall music and mannered line delivery. There's a theatricality to the performances that may seem off-putting, but this is an artistic choice that has been evident in Lee's films since the beginning. Not until now, however, has he gone so all-in on rhythm and tone over a traditional plot.
After the first victims fall to our elegantly dressed hero's sanguine thirst (one of whom is The Wire's Felicia Snoop Pearson in a welcome small role,) we meet Ganja, the African British widow of the doctor's "missing" research partner. Ganja, played by the quite striking Zaraah Abrahams, joins Dr Greene at his high threadcount Martha's Vineyard home, and soon the pair declare their love for one another.
While their passion is certainly titillating (this is no PG film) the swiftness with which they fall head over heels is indicative of the movie's chief flaw. With such a focus on a slick look and feel there's almost no air left for the characters to resemble actual human beings. The performances are intriguing, but they are at such a remove that there's zero emotional connection with what's up on screen. The "rules" of this film's specific vampirism are intentionally hazy (are the victims dead? undead? aware of their fate?) and Dr Greene's snap transformation into a wily bloodsucker without the benefit of a learning curve is curiously frustrating. As a horror picture, quite frankly, it's a bit of a disaster.
But the film, as made clear in its hallowed title, has greater aspirations. There are no shortage of brooding monologues about redemption and honor and other large topics. (As well as a few breaks for humor, much of which springing from Rami Malek's turn as Dr Greene's manservant named Seneschal Higginbottom.) Not all of these solos work, but the movie's "hum a few bars and I'll fake it" attitude skates by, particularly with the benefit of the film's crisp, seaside location photography.
Other scenes travel to New York's underfunded hospitals and housing projects, and these are shot with a grit and grain added to the otherwise crystalline HD video. We also take a return visit to the church of Lee's recent Red Hook Summer for an extended gospel performance. The music is so electric and the sequence is cut together with such vigor you'll hardly mind that the repeated lyrics may as well declare "insert message here" as our main character waits for absolution.
Few film-makers are as idiosyncratic as Spike Lee and while this movie is unlikely to find mass acceptance, it is heartening to see him make something like this and Red Hook Summer in between his premium cable documentaries and larger budget fare like Oldboy. Da Sweet Blood of Jesus isn't entirely successful – and certainly offers few new insights into the nature of addiction – but it remains a welcome change of pace.

Starting this week we're going to be doing a two part blog post profiling our co-founders, Brian Carter and Gilbert Resendez. We hope you really enjoy getting to know our founders better as we let you take a peek behind he Audibility curtain.
While I (Gilbert) sit next to Brian everyday, I sat down and chatted with him about Audibility's beginnings, business in general, and even his love for Leonardo DiCaprio films.
How did you get the idea for Audibility?
The idea came from a combination of problems that I personally experience.
Problem 1: I lost my hearing at a very young age and have worn hearing aids my whole life. After I heard about how much lack of access there is to hearing aids (only 1 in 40 in need has access) I wanted to do something to give back.
Problem 2: While I don't hear well, I can hear well enough to listen to music with earphones. With that said, I would put on earphones and immediately regret it because they would be so uncomfortable and fall out all the time. After wearing hearing aids my whole life, I knew that I could wear something comfortably all day long, which only made standard earphones that much more disappointing.
Problem 3: Tons of people experience Problem 2.
With these problems in mind, I worked with my co-founder to build a business model that solves these problems. Enter Audibility, a headphone company that focuses on the development of customized headphones and other personalized audio equipment. With each sale, the business donates directly to the Hear the World Foundation to improve access to hearing aids worldwide.
How has Audibility evolved since its first conception, and what is your favorite accomplishment with the company so far?
Audibility started as a mere business idea, comprised mostly of wild guesses about how one could build a headphone company with a giving model. Since then, our team has embarked on a journey to actually produce a product, put it in people's ears, get feedback, and try and take it to market. Audibility has grown from a concept to an established business with a product ready for development in just over a year. I'd say my favorite accomplishment to date has been becoming a recipient of the Startup PDX Challenge. This gave us funding along with office space for the year!
You and Gilbert are pretty young. Given that, many people your age may be thinking, "I'll just finish college and go to graduate school or get a job and think about starting a business later". Why did you choose to launch a business now?
I think your early twenties is the best time to fail. There's no need to leave a career or bring the stress of a start-up home to a family with kids. There's so little to lose, and those who are fresh out of college or grad school are also those with the most ambition, passion, and creativity as they step foot into the "real world" for the very first time. No matter what happens, the experience of starting a business is an extremely rewarding learning experience that will hold tremendous value in any future pursuits. Plus, if it works out, you'll be working on something you love and will have the opportunity to share that with others. You might even pay off your student loans!
In college you were fairly involved – your activities include countless volunteer activates, dorm service coordinator, RA, and even spent a summer in Africa on a service project. How have those experiences shaped you and your views on entrepreneurship?
A lot of my volunteer and service experiences have focused on sustainable development. The goal of any sustainable development project I developed was to create something that enabled others to empower their own community and take ownership of positive change. When it comes to entrepreneurship, my experiences have led me to always reflect and ask "what can I do that makes it easier for others to do the right thing?" If your business creates an opportunity for others to do the right thing, then you're doing it right.
What advice would you give to people who want to start a business while in college or graduate school?
If you're set on starting a business while in school, consider it a great learning experience! The academic environment is full of resources to help you learn and get started on what it takes to start a business. Use your status as a student to get out in the real world and ask as many questions as possible. People are always much more willing to set aside time to speak with students (even the competition). But make sure you're saving time for school too, that degree might be important.
What advice would you give young grads who are thinking about starting their own business?
It's always wise to pursue your passions, but you should be aware that there are several avenues for doing so. Starting a business is just one of those, and its not meant for everyone. Make sure you understand the financial weight of your decisions, and don't be afraid to ask for help to make your dream come true. People will provide invaluable feedback as to whether your idea is worth putting everything on the line for, so be sure to listen, and don't be too stubborn if you hear something you don't like. If you feel ready to go for it, you're not, but you'll at least know where to start and have a strong enough vision to figure the rest out with time.
When you aren't working on Audibility or busy with graduate school, what do you like to do for fun?
I sleep, a lot, and drink a lot of coffee at local coffee shops. The two don't necessarily go hand-in-hand but I somehow make it work. I'll also go on the occasional day-tip to the coast or Mt. Hood and just enjoy the PNW.
Favorite movie or TV show?
I'm a sucker for any Leonardo DiCaprio movie. My favorite is probably Shutter Island.
Why Leonardo DiCaprio?
Because he's a good actor, and he only chooses to star in roles he knows he can pull off. Plus he's an amazing director - I want him to direct more films.
Would you say there's a particular book that's helped shaped your worldview particularly relating to business and entrepreneurship?
I really resonate with Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom. It's a good reminder to not take life so seriously, especially business.
Do you have any secret talents?
If I told you it wouldn't be a secret. But my lesser known talents include my ability to play the piano, guitar, and euphonium.
If you could have coffee with a famous celebrity, who would it be and why?
That answer changes every month, but right now Adele is my current fad. Why her? Because she's Adele.
Anything else for our readers?
Ask yourself this. "Am I signed up for Audibility newsletters?" If the answer is no, do that now at audibilityheadphones.com!

A journey to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Selina Thompson's new solo show is about grief, ancestry, home, forgetting and colonialism. It's about being part of a diaspora.
"deserves the attention it demands" ★★★★ – Reviews Hub
'offers the gift of seeing the world through different eyes' ★★★★ – Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
"… Where our real home might be is tricky to say. In a way that is the point. Some people say that is the body, but I think the body is more a channel that leads us home. Ultimate reality is our home. It is here and now, and it is not a special piece of what is happening. We imagine that we are on a journey, that life is a journey, but we are home from the beginning. This is not an easy thing to accept."
In February 2016, two artists got on a cargo ship, and retraced one of the routes of the Transatlantic Slave Triangle – from the UK to Ghana to Jamaica, and back. Their memories, their questions and their grief took them along the bottom of the Atlantic and through the figurative realm of an imaginary past.
It was a long journey backwards, in order to go forwards.
This show is what they brought back.

Arsenal strolled to a 3-0 win against Watford at the Emirates on Sunday thanks to goals from Shkodran Mustafi, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Mustafi opened the scoring after just ten minutes when the German climbed highest to meet Mesut Ozil's free-kick and his thumping header flew past Orestis Karnezis in the Watford goal.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Mesut Ozil were guilty of squandering great opportunities to extend the Gunners' lead before the interval, while Roberto Pereyra missed a gilt-edged chance to draw the Hornets level.
Aubameyang got his name on the goal sheet after the break when he converted Mkhitaryan's through ball and the Gabonese forward then turned provider for the Armenian who confirmed the win with 15 minutes to play.
Watford captain Troy Deeney recieved the biggest cheer of the day when Petr Cech saved the forward's penalty following his comments about Arsenal in October,
Wenger had made six changes to his side from the team that completed a morale-boosting 2-0 win against AC Milan on Thursday but it was one of his five survivors, Mustafi, that put the Gunners ahead.
Ozil delivered a curling, out-swinging ball into the box from the left hand side of the area and Mustafi was unmarked ten yards out to put his side ahead.
It was Ozil's 50th assist in 141 Premier League appearances and he's the fastest player to reach that milestone and did in two appearances fewer than Manchester United legend Eric Cantona.
Despite the disruptive changes to the side Arsenal started brightly and Aubameyang should have added to his two goals for the club when he raced through to Ozil's through ball and onto the Watford goal. The Gabonese forward had all the time in the world to pick his spot but he blasted straight at Karnezis.
It was then Ozil's chance to fluff his lines when the German had a one-on-one and tried to feed Karnezis the eyes only for the Watford stopper to read his movement and parry the playmaker's effort wide.
Watford, to their credit, responded well and Pereyra should have equalised when Richarlison's free-kick rebounded kindly to him inside Arsenal's box but the former Juventus man blazed over from around eight yards out.
Arsenal were the happier of the two sides to hear the ref's whistle blow for half-time and the interval curtailed Watford's attacking threat. Aubameyang was left frustrated after the opening 45 minutes but he had his goal ten minutes after the restart when he raced on to Henrikh Mkhitaryan's through ball to round Karnezis and slot into an empty net.
It's the Gabon international's third goal for the Gunners and though his transition from Dortmund couldn't have come at a more difficult time at the Emirates, the early signs are clear that he's a better fit for the club than previous record signing Alexandre Lacazette.
The Hornets need another two wins to guarantee safety and they had the perfect opportunity to get themselves back in the match when Ainsley Maitland-Niles brought down Pereyra inside the box on the hour mark.
Much of the talk in the build-up to today's match was in relation to Troy Denney's comments after Watford's 2-1 win against the Gunners in October when he claimed Arsenal 'lacked cojones'.
'I've heard Wenger's already blaming (the decision) as the reason why they lost. I'm not going to be the one to tell Mr Wenger about himself, but there's a reason why they lost and it wasn't because of one penalty.' Deeney said in October.
"I'll have to watch what I say. It's (having) a bit of cojones, a bit of nuts.'
Comments like that will always have the potential to come back and bite you but it was and the roar that met Petr Cech's save from Deeney's penalty is certainly the loudest the Emirates has been in 2018.
The Watford captain put a meek penalty to Cech's right and the former Chelsea man scripted the finish to save his first penalty for the club since joining in 2015.
The game was effectively sealed in that moment but there was still time for Mkhitaryan to get in on the act.
The Armenian bagged his first goal for the club at the San Siro and he supplied the finish from an Aubameyang assist after some sloppy play in Watford's box to finish the game off.
Arsenal's attention immediately turned to Thursday and their second leg against AC Milan. Mustafi was taken off as a precaution for Calum Chambers, while Mkhitaryan made way for Jack Wilshere.
Watford will rue their missed chances and feel as though they had enough of the play to warrant a draw but the Hornets know their fate can be decided in remaining home games against Bournemouth, Newcastle and Crystal Palace.
