Logan Lucky (Alternativtitel: Der Hillbilly-Coup) ist eine Kriminalkomödie von Steven Soderbergh, die am 18. August 2017 in die US-amerikanischen Kinos kam.

Handlung
Clyde und Jimmy Logan sind Brüder und vom Pech verfolgt. So glaubt Clyde, dass ein Familienfluch auf ihnen lastet. Jimmy war an seiner High School in West Virginia ein American-Football-Star und hatte ein Stipendium für eine namhafte Universität. Doch nun hat er mit den Folgen einer Knieverletzung zu kämpfen, die seine vielversprechende Football-Karriere abrupt beendete. Aufgrund dieser verliert er zudem seinen Job als Bauarbeiter. In mehreren Nebenhandlungen wird Jimmys Privatleben dargestellt: Er lebt von seiner Ex-Frau Bobbie Jo getrennt; diese ist inzwischen mit dem Autohändler Moody Chapman liiert. Mit Bobbie Jo hat Jimmy die gemeinsame Tochter Sadie, zu der er ein sehr gutes Verhältnis hat und die bei einem Schönheitswettbewerb für Kinder antreten möchte. Jedoch will Bobbie Jo mit ihrem Mann wegziehen, was es Jimmy erschweren wird, seine Tochter zu sehen. Clyde hat im Irakkrieg seinen linken Unterarm verloren und ist nun als einarmiger Barkeeper in einer schummerigen Spelunke gelegentlich Zielscheibe für flaue Witze.

Daraufhin wollen die beiden ziemlich abgebrannten Brüder gemeinsam mit ihrer Schwester Mellie ein großes Ding in North Carolina drehen: Jimmy weiß, dass der Tresor, in dem die Tageseinnahmen des Charlotte Motor Speedway landen, aufgrund unterirdischer Ausbesserungsarbeiten nicht so gesichert ist wie sonst üblich. Erst müssen die beiden aber noch den Safeknacker und Sprengstoffexperten Joe Bang aus dem Gefängnis befreien. Um Joe, der das Gefängnis eigentlich gar nicht verlassen will, zu überzeugen, bei der Sache mitzumachen, verrät ihm Jimmy, dass Joes Ex-Freundin gerade das von ihm erbeutete Geld ausgibt. Die Logans müssen des Weiteren die beiden geistig schlichten Brüder Joe Bangs überreden mitzumachen. Dann fährt Clyde absichtlich mit einem Auto in den Geschäftsraum einer Tankstelle, wird zu 90 Tagen Gefängnis verurteilt und trifft dort auf Joe Bang, um diesem beim Ausbruch zu helfen.

Da die Bauarbeiten an der Rennstrecke schneller voran gehen als geplant, muss die Aktion um eine Woche vorverlegt werden und fällt nun auf das Coca-Cola 600, ein berühmtes und äußerst gut besuchtes NASCAR-Rennen. Am Tag des Coups fliehen Joe und Clyde in speziell gebauten Kästen, die sie unterhalb der Gefangenentransporter angebracht haben, aus dem Gefängnis und werden von Mellie abgeholt. Die Bang-Brüder legen mit einem Sprengstoff-Cocktail ihres Bruders die Internet-Verbindung der Rennstrecke lahm, woraufhin alle Zahlungen bar erfolgen müssen. Die Einnahmen werden von allen Verkaufsstellen per Rohrpost in den zentralen Tresor gebracht. Joe beschädigt das Rohrpostsystem mit einem improvisierten Sprengsatz, um den Diebstahl des Geldes zu ermöglichen. Jimmy und seine Mitstreiter im Tunnel saugen die Geldscheine mit einem riesigen Staubsauger ab und füllen sie in Müllsäcke. Die Bang-Brüder fahren einen Teil der Säcke mit einem Elektrokarren nach draußen. Ein zweiter Teil wird – von den beiden unbemerkt – per Müllwagen aus dem Gebäude der Rennstrecke gebracht.

Durch die Explosion verteilt sich jedoch Rauch im Rohrpostsystem, was vom Sicherheitsteam bemerkt wird. Zwei Wachmänner gehen der Sache auf den Grund und decken den Raub beinahe auf, werden aber mehrmals, teils zufällig, von der Bande abgelenkt. Noch während die Aktion läuft, machen sich Joe und Clyde auf den Weg zurück ins Gefängnis. Dabei werden sie von Max Chilblain, einem Geschäftsmann und Rennteambesitzer, sowie seinem Fahrer Dayton White entdeckt. Chilblain erkennt Clyde wieder – in der Bar, in der dieser arbeitet, kam es zu einer Schlägerei zwischen Jimmy und Chilblain aufgrund abwertender Witze des Getränkeunternehmers über die körperlichen Beeinträchtigungen der Logan-Brüder. Auch diese Begegnung endet wieder mit einer Schlägerei. Letztlich können Joe und Clyde aber entkommen und schleichen sich als Feuerwehrleute verkleidet wieder ins Gefängnis. Ihre Mitgefangenen hatten dafür im Essraum des Gefängnisses einen Brandmelder und somit einen Feuerwehreinsatz ausgelöst. Bereits zuvor hatten sie einen Gefangenenaufstand fingiert, um die Abwesenheit von Joe und Clyde zu vertuschen.

Das FBI untersucht den Raub unter Führung der Agentin Sarah Grayson. Allerdings haben Joe und Clyde durch ihren vermeintlichen Gefängnisaufenthalt das perfekte Alibi. Wenig später wird der "offizielle" Teil der Beute in einem gestohlenen Lastzug gefunden. Es stellt sich jedoch heraus, dass dem Betreiber der Rennstrecke gar nicht bekannt war, welchen Betrag die Beute ausmachte und dass tatsächlich mehr gestohlen wurde als angenommen. Nachdem das FBI die Ermittlungen eingestellt hat, kann Jimmy den Beteiligten ihren Anteil aus dem nicht zurückgegebenen Teil der Beute zukommen lassen. Joe Bang findet eines Morgens eine Schaufel auf seiner Veranda, was er als Aufforderung versteht, unter der Eiche in seinem Garten nachzugraben, wo er früher schon sein gestohlenes Geld versteckt hatte. Auch der Müllwagenfahrer und der Organisator des Brandes im Gefängnis werden an der Beute beteiligt.

Sadie gewinnt derweil den Wettbewerb mit dem Lied Take Me Home, Country Roads. Sie wählte dieses Lied extra deswegen aus, weil es das Lieblingslied ihres Vaters sei. Zufällig trifft Jimmy im Lauf der Handlung außerdem noch seine ehemalige Schulfreundin Sylvia Harrison, mit der er am Ende ein Verhältnis beginnt.

Der Film endet mit einem offenen Ende: Die letzte Szene spielt in Clydes Kneipe, in der die Logan-Geschwister, Joe und Sylvia Harrison gemeinsam auf den erfolgreichen Raub anstoßen. Auf der anderen Seite des Tresens sitzt die ihnen unbekannte Sarah Grayson, die die Bande beobachtet und sich an Clyde heranmacht – offensichtlich hat sie den Fall noch nicht aufgegeben.

Produktion

Stab, Besetzung und Synchronisation
Regie führte Steven Soderbergh, der auch als Kameramann und Filmeditor fungierte. Als Drehbuchautorin wird Rebecca Blunt angegeben, wobei Kenner des Filmgeschäfts bei dieser Angabe von einem Pseudonym ausgehen. Soderbergh selbst beschreibt den Film als eine Art komplette Umkehrung des Prinzips seiner Ocean's-Eleven-Filme, empfindet dies jedoch als positiv: "Niemand zieht sich schick an. Niemand hat coole Gadgets. Sie haben kein Geld. Sie haben keine Technik." Genau dies habe ihn so an dem Filmprojekt fasziniert, so Soderbergh. Der Film wurde komplett außerhalb des Hollywoodsystems finanziert. Das Geld für die Dreharbeiten und die Vermarktung stammte aus dem Vorverkauf der internationalen Verleihrechte wie sämtlicher Rechte für den Home-Entertainment-Markt. Die Filmmusik wurde von David Holmes komponiert. Der Soundtrack zum Film umfasst 16 Musikstücke und wurde am 18. August 2017 von Milan Records veröffentlicht.

Adam Driver übernahm im Film die Rolle von Clyde Logan, Channing Tatum spielt seinen Bruder Jimmy Logan. Riley Keough erhielt die Rolle von Mellie Logan, und Daniel Craig spielt Joe Bang. In der Rolle von Bobbie Jo Logan Chapman ist Katie Holmes zu sehen, und Seth MacFarlane spielt Max Chilblain. Eine Reihe von Rennfahrern haben im Film Cameo-Auftritte, so Kyle Busch, Kyle Larson und der pensionierte Carl Edwards. Die Fahrer Brad Keselowski und Joey Logano sind in den Rollen zweier Sicherheitsbeamter zu sehen, die sich wie Polizisten fühlen. Der NASCAR-Fahrer und Nachwuchsschauspieler Ryan Blaney übernahm die Rolle eines Lieferjungen.

Die deutsche Synchronisation entstand nach einem Dialogbuch von Timmo Niesner unter der Dialogregie von Christoph Cierpka im Auftrag der RC Production Kunze & Wunder GmbH & Co. KG in Berlin. Daniel Fehlow leiht hierbei Jimmy Logan seine Stimme, Robert Glatzeder seinem Bruder Clyde und Joanna Kitzl ihrer Schwester Mellie. Joe Bang wird in der deutschen Synchronisation von Dietmar Wunder gesprochen und sein Bruder Sam von Jesco Wirthgen.

Dreharbeiten und Ausstattung

Die Dreharbeiten begannen am 24. August 2016. Sie fanden am Hudson Hickory House in Douglasville und am Clayton County Landfill im Clayton County statt, die beide in Georgia gelegen sind. Weitere Aufnahmen entstanden in der Stadt Charlotte, die mit dem Charlotte Motor Speedway der Austragungsort mehrerer NASCAR-Rennen ist. Neben den Dreharbeiten am Charlotte Motor Speedway fanden auch Aufnahmen am Atlanta Motor Speedway statt.

Das Szenenbild schuf Howard Cummings, so die Duck Tape Bar, in der Clyde Logan arbeitet.

Marketing und Veröffentlichung
Ende Mai 2017 wurde ein erster Trailer zum Film veröffentlicht. Im Juni 2017 folgte ein deutlich längerer Trailer.

Der Film wurde am 2. August 2017 vorab in Charlotte vorgestellt, wo der Film zu Teilen auch gedreht wurde, feierte am 7. August 2017 in Tel Aviv seine internationale Premiere und kam am 18. August 2017 in die US-Kinos. Ein Kinostart in Deutschland erfolgte am 14. September 2017. Im Oktober und November 2017 wurde der Film im Rahmen des offiziellen Wettbewerbs beim Festa del Cinema di Roma gezeigt.

Rezeption

Altersfreigabe
In den USA wurde der Film von der MPAA als PG-13 eingestuft. In Deutschland ist der Film FSK 12. In der Freigabebegründung heißt es: "Der episodisch angelegte Film wartet mit typischen Genreelementen der Gangsterkomödie, viel Situationskomik bis hin zum Slapstick und überzeichneten Charakteren auf. Kinder im Grundschulalter können zwar einzelne gewalthaltige Szenen und die immer wieder derbe Sprache irritieren, doch ab 12-Jährige sind in der Lage, diese Elemente auf der Basis ihrer bereits gesammelten Medienerfahrung als komödiantisch überhöht zu entschlüsseln und in den Gesamtkontext einzuordnen."

Kritiken
Der Film konnte bislang 92 Prozent der Kritiker bei Rotten Tomatoes überzeugen bei einer durchschnittlichen Bewertung mit 7,5 der möglichen 10 Punkte.

Dabei wird in vielen deutschsprachigen Presseveröffentlichungen an frühere erfolgreiche Gaunerkomödien des Regisseurs erinnert und im Vergleich die einfache Herkunft der Protagonisten aus den Südstaaten in diesem Film hervorgehoben. Insbesondere der aus den James-Bond-Filmen als stilsicherer Geheimagent bekannte Daniel Craig überzeuge in seiner Rolle als Redneck-Ganove. So schreibt Dirk Peitz in der Zeit von einer "Südstaatenversion der Ocean's Filme" und Nina Jerzy spricht in der NZZ vom "verschwitzten Arbeiterklasse-Gegenstück von Ocean's Eleven". Hannah Pilarczyk im Spiegel bewertet die "Discounter-Version der Oceans Millionen-Coups" als "wahrscheinlich beste Unterhaltung in diesem Kinoherbst".

Katrin Häger bezieht sich im Filmdienst auf das Lokalkolorit und ist dabei insbesondere von der Langsamkeit und Entspanntheit, welche der Film vermittle, begeistert.

David Ehrlich (IndieWire) meint, Steven Soderbergh kehre mit einem albernen Heist-Film, der wahrhaft Seele besitze, aus dem Ruhestand zurück.

Sascha Westphal schreibt in epd Film, aus dem Kontrast zwischen den Unzulänglichkeiten seiner Figuren und der Perfektion, mit der er ihren kühnen Raubzug, zu dem auch ein überaus innovativer Gefängnisausbruch zählt, in Szene setze, schlage Soderbergh nicht nur komödiantische Funken: "Er zündet auch ein regelrechtes Feuerwerk aus visuellen Gags und doppeldeutigen Dialogen. Die komödiantische Leichtigkeit, die auch schon die Oceans-Reihe und Teile von Magic Mike kennzeichnete, ist hier aber weitaus mehr als nur eine stilistische Eigenart. Sie ist die entscheidende Voraussetzung für ein filmpolitisches Experiment."

Christian Berndt erklärte Deutschlandradio, dadurch, dass die Brüder im Film die Schwächen eines dysfunktionalen Gesellschaftssystems nutzten, das einen solchen Raub geradezu folgerichtig erscheinen lasse, gelinge es Soderbergh, eine sehr zeitgemäße Robin-Hood-Geschichte zu erzählen mit einer Schlusspointe, die dem Film utopischen Charakter verleihe.

Etwas kritischer ist Jerzy in ihrer NZZ-Rezension, die sich zum einen auf die besondere Form der Finanzierung durch den Independent-Regisseur bezieht und die Spielfreude der Beteiligten lobt, den Humor jedoch teilweise an der Grenze zur "Hinterwäldler-Parodie" empfindet und auch das Ende für eine allzu clevere Dramaturgie hält. Andreas Kilb von der FAZ hat diese Hillbilly-Welt schon vor Jahren in Filmen der Coen-Brüder gesehen und findet deshalb Sonderberghs Beitrag nicht besonders originell.

Einspielergebnis
In den USA startete der Film am 17. August 2017 in den Kinos, landete in der ersten Woche auf Platz 3 der Kinocharts und war hinter Killer's Bodyguard der zweithöchste Neueinsteiger. Insgesamt hielt sich "Logan Lucky" vier Wochen unter den Top-10 der US-Kinocharts und spielte in den USA ca. 27,7 Millionen US-Dollar ein.

Die weltweiten Einnahmen des Films belaufen sich bislang auf 48,5 Millionen US-Dollar (ca. 43,5 Millionen Euro) bei einem Produktionsbudget von 29 Millionen US-Dollar (ca. 26 Millionen Euro).

Kinostart in Deutschland war am 15. September 2017. Hier landete er hinter High Society und Mother! als drittbester Neueinsteiger auf Platz 5 der Charts, hielt sich noch eine weitere Woche in den Top 10 und verzeichnet insgesamt bislang 203.711 Besucher, was Einnahmen von ca. 1,9 Millionen US-Dollar entspricht.

Der Film war "finanziell ein Flop", sagte Steven Soderbergh in einem Interview mit Christian Aust.
Es sei "offenbar eine Fehlentscheidung" gewesen, auf klassische TV-Werbung für den Film zu verzichten.

HMV PR chief moves to BPI
By Chris Cooke | Published on Wednesday 29 May 2013
More HMV, and the retail firm's long-time communications chief, Gennaro Castaldo, is moving to take the main comms role at record industry trade body the BPI, where he will replace incumbent Adam Liversage, who is departing the organisation on 14 Jun.
Castaldo has worked for HMV for 27 years, and enjoyed a higher profile than your average corporate PR as the go-to man for the newspapers for commentary on chart positions and record sales. Though in more recent years he was mainly responding to journalist emails along the lines of "so, when is your company going to hit the wall?" with the stock reply "Oh we're fine, we're selling iPads now, don't you know". Until HMV inevitably hit the wall in January, that is.
Though having tackled all those challenges of communicating for an HMV very much on the brink in recent years, while sitting on that vast knowledge of the charts, record sales and other such industry stats after nearly three decades with the big music retailer, Castaldo seems like just the main to take on the challenge of communicating for the record industry at large.
Confirming the appointment, BPI boss Geoff Taylor told CMU: "We are delighted that Gennaro is joining us at BPI. His long experience working with the music industry, his focus on consumers and his strong relationships with the press will be key assets as we represent our members' views across a range of media. Meanwhile, we are grateful to Adam for his commitment over the last four years and we wish him every success in his future endeavours".
Castaldo added: "I'm really looking forward to this exciting new challenge – working with Geoff and his team, [BPI Chair] Tony Wadsworth and, of course, the BPI members to communicate the exciting developments taking place in our industry during this dynamic time of change. I can't leave HMV without saying what a privilege it's been for me to have worked there and particularly with so many wonderful colleagues and associates past and present, who I will always think of with great affection. I will look to bring the same passion and commitment to my new role and build on the strong foundation of media engagement that is already in place".

The Revisions per Word metric is the most telling, every additional revision leads to fewer corrections to make. While corrections do tend to be grouped together in the manuscript, I can now read pages at a time without making any notes. This trend is expected to continue until the Revisions to make number under 100. That's normally my cue to send it off to my editor for polish prior to release.

The thing I like the most is being able to call my doctor related to any medical issue and get immediate advice or an immediate for a sit down discussion of my issues. For example, I have shingles at the current time and had a long discussion with Dr. Veale about this earlier this week. Dr. Veale is always interested in trying to get the to the cause instead of just treating the effects, and I find that very rewarding.

Study Reveals Artificial Sweeteners Aren't The Answer To Weight Loss
You're gonna want to ditch the diet soda.
By Madison Flager
The debate over what diet soda does to your body is constantly changing. Some say it is linked to cancer and dementia, while others say it causes you to eat more sugar.
After reviewing the scientific evidence available on artificial sweeteners—like those found in diet soda, as well as granola bars, yogurt, etc.—authors concluded that there is no evidence artificial sweeteners help in managing weight, NPR reports.
The authors looked at observational and randomized trials and found that those who consume artificial sweeteners regularly were more likely to develop health problems—though that can't be definitively linked to the sweeteners. The observational trials tracked more than 400,000 people, while the randomized trials covered about 1,000.
Meghan Azad, a lead researcher in the project, told NPR they were interested in reviewing the available research because of how many Americans commonly use sweeteners, often because they think it is the healthier choice. Azad says more research needs to be done, but that "there's a potential association with increased weight gain and diabetes."
In both types of trials, it's hard to find causes definitively, because everyone's diets are different and people usually don't eat the same way in real life as when they're are being monitored. This is part of why more research needs to be done, as well as research on specific sweeteners.
In the meantime, Azad suggests trying to minimize your sweet tooth instead of using replacements. Opt for plain yogurt, black coffee, and fruit-infused or plain water rather than juices, teas, or sodas.

When I get to sip on something sweet and pink, it feels tres chic.
This has proven true time and again as I have made this delicate and sophisticated strawberry soup. Whether it's been a bridal shower, baby shower luncheon or a holiday dessert—this strawberry soup has been a show stopper. To clear up any confusion, this is not a gazpacho or a salsa. The strawberries are not pureed or juiced—they are actually stewed for an hour. With this stewing process, the strawberries release their juice creating a concentrated, light yet bold syrup that is perfect for sipping on.
One key to a great strawberry soup is selecting ripe and sweet strawberries. Market Street currently has a wonderful selection of freshly ripened strawberries, perfect for creating a deliciously flavorful chilled soup. While at Market Street collecting your show stopping ingredients be sure to grab organic mint leaves to top off this delicate treat.
You'll need to wander over to the spice aisle to grab some critical aromatics for this recipe: fresh vanilla beans, cardamom pods (don't be afraid of this ingredient—it's very similar to cinnamon!) and mint extract. While you may not use these ingredients every day, you'll find that these ingredients MAKE this soup have layers of flavor and depth. When making this soup you'll also need a few other pieces of equipment (if you don't already have it at home), all of which you can get at Market Street.
3—fine mesh strainer Isn't it great having a catch-all grocery store? Market Street is a shop that not only provides for your basic cooking needs but also for those tabletop goodies (like fresh flowers and pretty plates) that are always necessary when you need to feel tres chic.
Author note: This recipe is a slightly reworked version of a Strawberry Soup I found in Food and Wine Magazine. It is delicate, rich and perfect as a starter or finisher of any luncheon or dinner.
Place strawberries and all their juices into a medium-sized glass (or stainless steel) bowl. Stir in the sugar, vanilla bean and cardamom pods. Place plastic wrap over the top of the bowl and seal well.
Fill a small sauce pan 1/2 inch full of water. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Place the bowl on top of the sauce pan to create a double boiler (make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl). Stew the strawberries for 1 hour. Stir once.
Carefully remove the bowl from the pan. Place the bowl into an ice bath and stir in the mint leaves into the strawberry mixture. Let the strawberries cool for 15-20 minutes.
Strain the strawberry soup into a container. Continue to let the strawberry soup come to room temperature and then place in the fridge.
Place the chopped strawberries into a small serving bowl. Top the strawberries with the soup, mint whipped cream and a mint leaf. Serve chilled.
Using an electric mixer, whip on high until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes.
Serve immediately, or spoon out and place into a container. Store in fridge until ready to serve (up to 24 hours).

04 January 2020 Venue Jonny-Rocks Stadium Attendance
MATCH PREVIEW: Cheltenham Town vs. Oldham Athletic
Latics travel to Cheltenham looking to put back-to-back defeats behind them on Saturday (3pm KO).
Oldham's decent run of form has ended recently with back-to-back defeats in the space of four days whilst Cheltenham are winless in five.
The Robins' last six:
Mansfield Town 0-1 Cheltenham Town
Cheltenham Town 1-1 Cambridge United
Port Vale 1-1 Cheltenham Town
Cheltenham Town 0-1 Plymouth Argyle
Northampton Town 1-1 Cheltenham Town
Newport County 1-1 Cheltenham Town
Latics have won four of their 15 games against Cheltenham Town. Seven of them have ended in draws including the last time the clubs played each other in October.
Filipe Morais' early goal was not enough to secure all three points at Boundary Park as Ryan Broom levelled with 20 minutes left.
Athletic are undefeated in the last four games between the two clubs though and you have to go back to 2007 to find the last time that Cheltenham beat Oldham in a league match. The last time Oldham beat the Robins was October 2018.
Oldham Athletic 2-0 Cheltenham Town – 23rd October 2018
Latics were helped to a 2-0 win by Sam Jones receiving a straight red card on half-time for a confrontation with Jose Baxter.
Jonathan Benteke, brother of Christian, scored his first goal in English football to give Latics the lead with just quarter of an hour left at Boundary Park and Callum Lang made sure of all three points with his goal in stoppage time.
Oldham had gone five without a win but victory at Boundary Park saw the team rise to 12th in the Sky Bet League Two table.
League Story So Far
Town enjoyed a good start to the season by beating Scunthorpe United 4-1. They went through the months of September and October unbeaten, winning six of their eight games in this period. Their 1-0 defeat away at Crawley Town was their only loss of the first 13 league games of the season.
However, they have been unable to replicate this level of consistency throughout the season. They have won just one of their last ten league games. That may sound like a horrific run of bad form but they haven't been losing a lot of games in this run either; seven of these 10 games have resulted in a draw.
Cheltenham are currently 8th in the League Two table, just one place and one point off the play-off spots with a game in hand. Going into Saturday's game, they are 12 points ahead of Oldham.
What We Said
Dino Maamria after his sides defeat against Scunthorpe: "We're not a team that thrives off the basics, it's something that we're working really hard on.
"Like I said, we've been on a good run but we've not been playing fantastic football. The football has been ok, it's been improving but what has been good about it has been the work rate and basics that I'm talking about has been really good.
"So, when you do that you always pick up points. When you turn up like this, it's a hard afternoon because our fans turn up and don't expect that so I can only apologise.
"We've been good in terms of our resilience. We conceded against Crawley and we won the game 2-1.
"I think the squad has been tested definitely. Three games in quick succession it's really difficult. What we've got to do is we can't feel sorry for ourselves we've now got to go to Cheltenham which is another difficult one at the weekend. So, we've got to make sure that we're ready, stay positive and be honest and have those conversations."
Maamria will have selection issues once again with the likes of Zak Mills, David Wheater and Chris McCann carrying knocks whilst Tomas Egert misses out again due to concussion protocol.
Michael Duff after his sides draw at Newport: "It is a good point away from home but it just leaves us slightly frustrated. I thought we maybe could have shaded it and the way we conceded the goal that's the real bug bear.
"We've come to two real tough places away from home in the last couple of days, Northampton and Newport, and stood up to everything they've thrown at us.
"Scott (Flinders) has had hardly anything to do in the two games and we've conceded from two set plays. That's a real frustration and probably a measure of how far we've come."
Ryan Broom – Cheltenham Town midfielder Ryan Broom has been an all most ever-present feature of their side this season and netted the leveller in the 1-1 draw at Boundary Park in October so Maamria will know the threat that he carries.
The Welshman has been in good form for the Robins this season, netting six times, already four more than he managed for them in the entirety of the last campaign.
Broom came through the youth system at Bristol Rovers but would only go on to make nine league appearances for the club and was shipped out on loan to Taunton City, Bath City and Eastleigh before his release from Rovers. Town snapped him up on a free in 2018.
Current Forest Green Rovers player Carl Winchester has played for both clubs.
Winchester played for Oldham between 2010 and 2017, making 117 league appearances. He joined the club following a successful trial and made his debut in November 2010. He then established his place in the team in the 14/15 season but left for the Robins on a free transfer in January 2017.
Winchester spent a season-and-a-half with Town making 64 league appearances, before joining their Gloucestershire rivals Forest Green Rovers on a two-year deal.
Cheltenham Town play at the Jonny-Rocks Stadium. The 7,066 capacity stadium got its unusual name for sponsorship reasons.
It has been the home of the Robins since 1932 and also played host to Gloucester City between 2010 and 2017.
The record attendance for the stadium came against Reading in an FA Cup game in 1956.
It was the smallest stadium used in League One in the 07/08 and 08/09 seasons.
In The Dugout
Michael Duff is the man in the dugout for the Robins.
Duff made over 300 appearances in his time as a player with Cheltenham Town before moving on to Burnley where he would play in the Premier League. In addition to this, as a player Duff was capped 24 times for the Northern Irish national team.
The 41-year-old has had managerial roles in the academy setup at Burnley but Cheltenham Town is his first professional job as manager. He was appointed boss in September 2018 and following a good start to the 19/20 season, was awarded a contract extension keeping him with the Robins till June 2023.
He has recently bolstered his squad by signing striker Alfie May on a two-and-a-half year contract from Doncaster Rovers for an undisclosed fee and could make his debut against Latics.
Latics travel to The Jonny-Rocks Stadium on Saturday 4 January 2020. There will be no price increase on the day with 123 tickets sold before the fixture.

MATCH REPORT: Latics Suffer Defeat Against Cheltenham Town
Latics are condemned to a third defeat in three games as goals from Max Sheaf, Alfie May and Ryan Broom wrapped up the three points for Cheltenham Town.
Latics started brightly and had a few half-chances in the opening ten minutes, the best effort of this period was by David Jones as he intercepted a ball inside the hosts' half and played a one-two with Scott Wilson and shot from the edge of the area, but Scott Flinders was able to catch the strike.
Moments later, a clever piece of play by Cheltenham nearly saw the deadlock broken as Sheaf played a clever through ball to Tahvon Campbell and the striker put a low cross back to the Hull City loanee inside the box, but as he slid in he couldn't keep his effort on target.
Michael Duff's side continued to attack as central midfielder Chris Clement sprayed a fantastic long pass over to Ryan Broom on the right, the winger drove towards the goal before he blasted in the side netting.
In the 32nd minute, Cheltenham took the lead following good play by Campbell inside the box and he laid the ball off to Sheaf and as the midfielder ran onto the pass, he kept his cool to slot his strike into the top right corner.
Oldham nearly responded instantly as Gevaro Nepomuceno beat his man on the left-wing and delivered a cross into the box, Flinders could only punch the ball to Zak Mills and from the edge of the six-yard box, the right-back smashed his attempt over the crossbar.
The hosts' had the ball in the ball in the back of the net again just before half time, as Latics goalkeeper De La Paz raced outside his area and miss kicked his clearance to debutant May and he slotted into an empty goal, but the referee already blew his whistle for handball.
Cheltenham continued the second half where they left off as May played the ball to Sheaf on the edge of the 18-yard box and the midfielder turned and had a shot towards goal, but his dipping strike went just wide of the post.
The start of the second half lacked any real clear-cut chances, the most promising moment for Latics was in the 64th minute as from a corner, Iacovitti leapt the highest but his header was blocked. The ball was eventually crossed back in and it found Jones in the corner of the box and his strike looked to be heading into the bottom left corner, but it was blocked by a defender.
The Robins sealed all three points in the 75th minute as Campbell slotted May in behind, Mills managed to tackle him, but it deflected off Wheater past De La Paz and May tapped it into an empty net to get his first goal for the club.
Cheltenham had their third in the 95th minute as Broom was allowed too much time inside the Latics area to produce a skilful turn and slot his effort into the corner past De La Paz.
Dino Maamria's side couldn't find a way back into the game which meant that Cheltenham managed to secure their first win over Latics since November 2008.

Movie And TV Characters Make Perfect Humans Of New York Subjects (Photos)
By Kaylin Pound
We've all seen our favorite fictional characters on television.
But, have you ever wondered what your favorite cartoons and sitcom stars would look like if they jumped off the screen and onto the bustling streets of New York City?
Well, thanks to two clever guys over at College Humor, we no longer have to wonder.
Recently, Joel Kane and Joseph Berndt gave a bunch of fictitious television characters a new, city-inspired identity by remaking them as people from the popular Humans of New York series.
The HONY spin-off includes everything from the crazy antics of Kramer to a few "Sesame Street" characters highlighting the shortcomings of the public school system.
Just like the original series, each image is accompanied by a backstory that gives you a glimpse into the daily struggles faced by your favorite fictional characters, and they're all pretty hilarious.
Take a look at the photos below to see this reimagined version of Humans Of New York.
Kramer from "Seinfeld"
Ted Mosby from "How I Met Your Mother"
Anna Darrow from "King Kong"
Arnold from "Hey Arnold!"
George Costanza from "Seinfeld"
Samantha Jones from "Sex and the City"
Travis Bickle from "Taxi Driver"
Holly Golightly from "Breakfast At Tiffany's"
Dana Barrett from "Ghostbusters"
Marnie Michaels from "Girls"
Ross from "Friends"

It's my turn to teach preschool next week, and I still haven't decided which picture book to base our lesson on. However, in my search for the perfect book (our theme for next week is space if you have any good suggestions!), I stumbled across an old favorite: Stuck by Oliver Jeffers.
I know I'm not alone in my admiration for Oliver Jeffers' work, and this one might well be my very favorite (although he has a new one out this year (Once Upon an Alphabet) that I'm dying to take a look at).
It's about a boy named Floyd who is spending a carefree day flying his kite when he steers it a little too close to a tree and, as kites often do, it gets stuck. So Floyd does the only thing he can think of: he throws his shoe at it to knock it loose. But that gets stuck, too. Without giving it much thought, Floyd begins chucking anything he can get his hands on up into the tree: a bucket of paint, a ladder, a chair. And they all get stuck. Gradually, the items being launched get bigger and more and more ridiculous until there is no more room left in the tree, and then . . . well, you'll have to read it to find out what happens.
The story travels from the likely (what kid hasn't thrown something--be it kite, ball, or frisbee--and gotten it stuck?) to the far-fetched (a kitchen sink? really?) to the truly unbelievable (I'm going to draw the line at the blue whale). Because it begins with such an ordinary event, the subtle transition to the absolutely ridiculous is all the more hilarious: a cat is pretty funny, but the mailman? Now that's funny.
The illustrations, which look like they've been lifted from a sketchbook and then enhanced with color and detail, are wonderfully original. Who would have thought you could fit a house, a big boat, and a lighthouse, along with a dozen and more other things, into a tree? My kids are amazed every time we read this book: no, there's no way, no possible way, that's going into the tree! whoa, I never would have believed it . . . It's quite the feat of imagination and skill to get that many objects into one tree.
This is one of those books I can read to my kids again and again and never complain about because it's funny, it's not too long, and the pictures give a little more each time.
P.P.S. And, to be inspired by other people much more creative than me, take a look at this adorable dress inspired by the book, complete with detachable items.
P.P.P.S. Have you read this book before? What's the craziest thing you (or your kids) have gotten stuck in an unreachable place?

Q: what is a good alternative to this ugly construct, in c++? This is my code (simplification of a real-life problem):
class Foo {
public:
  void f(const string& s) {
    if (s == "lt") {
      return lt();
    } else if (s == "lte")
      return lte();
    } else if (s == "gt")
      return gt();
    } else if (s == "gte")
      return gte();
    }
  }
  void lt() { /* skipped */ }
  void lte() { /* skipped */ }
  void gt() { /* skipped */ }
  void gte() { /* skipped */ }
};

This is how I would do it in PHP/Python/JavaScript/many other languages (example in PHP):
class Foo {
  function f($s) {
    return $this->$s();
  }
  function lt() { /* skipped */ }
  function lte() { /* skipped */ }
  function gt() { /* skipped */ }
  function gte() { /* skipped */ }
}

How can I make my C++ code as elegant as this PHP example? Thanks in advance.

A: C++ is not dynamic, so there is no exact equivalent. A little more elegant would be to use a map and possibly function objects.

A: Following with the suggestion from Alexandre C., you can combine the std::map<... approach with an operator() to avoid having to call through to the void Foo::f.
For example:
class Foo {
   private:
      map<string,void (Foo::*)()> funs;
   public:
      // constructors etc.
      void operator () (const string& s) {
         if (funs.find (s) != funs.end ())
            (this->*funs[s])();
      }
      // remainder
};

And you can now use foo similar to
Foo f;
f("lt");  // calls Foo::lt ()
f("lte"); // calls Foo::lte ();
// etc...

A: There is no reflection in C++. However, something like a std::map<std::string, void (Foo::*)()>should do the trick.

EDIT: Here is some ugly code to do it maintainably. Note the following :

*

*This can probably be improved in various way

*Please add code to deal with non-existent tokens. I did no error checking.

#define BEGIN_TOKEN_MAP \
template <int n> \
struct add_to_ \
{ \
    static void act() {} \
}; \
std::map<std::string, void (Foo::*)()> map_;

#define DECLARE_TOKEN(str, n) \
template <> struct add_to_<n> \
{ \
    static void act() { map_[#str] = &Foo::##str; add_to<n+1>::act();} \
};\
void str()

#define END_TOKEN_MAP \
void init_map() { add_to_<0>::act(); } \
void process_token(std::string s) { (this->*map_[s])(); }

class Foo
{
    BEGIN_TOKEN_MAP
    DECLARE_TOKEN(lt, 0) { ... }
    DECLARE_TOKEN(gt, 1) { ... }
    ...
    END_TOKEN_MAP

    Foo() { init_map(); }
    void f(const std::string& s) { process_token(s); }
};

A: // Beware, brain-compiled code ahead!
namespace {
  typedef std::map<std::string, void (Foo::*)()> operations_map_t;
  typedef operations_map_t::value_type operations_entry_t;

  const operations_entry_t* operations = { {"lt" , &Foo::lt }
                                         , {"lte", &Foo::lte}
                                         , {"gt" , &Foo::gt }
                                         , {"gte", &Foo::gte} };
  const operations_map_t operations_map( operations
                                       , operations + sizeof(operations)
                                                    / sizeof(operations[0]) );
}

void Foo::f(const string& s)
{
  operations_map_t::const_iterator it = operations_map.find(s);
  if(it == operations_map.end()) throw "Dooh!";
  it->second();
}

A: I've upvoted Alexandre C, but I have reservations about building a data structure at run-time (populating the std::map) when the data is all known at compile-time.
I've upvoted the_void, but a linear search is only appropriate for relatively small data sets.
One option worth considering is a script (written in e.g. Python) to generate a hash-table or perfectly-balanced binary tree or whatever at build-time. You'll only do it if you have a recurring need to support large known-at-compile-time datasets, of course.
There's probably template-trickery ways to do this in C++ - they are Turing complete, and theres at least one compile-time parser state model generator, which is clearly more complex than a hash-table or binary tree. But personally, I wouldn't recommend it. A code-generating script will be simpler and more robust.
I have a script for generating ternary trees, but (1) it's a bit long for here, and (2) its not exactly a shining example of good coding.

A: You could use a dispatch table like:
typedef struct {
    char *name;
    void (*handler)();
} handler_t;

handler_t *handlers = {
    {"lt", &lt},
    {"lte", &lte},
    {"gt", &gt},
    {"gte", &gte},
    (NULL, NULL}
};

void f(const string &s) {
    for (int i=0; handlers[i].handler; ++i) {
        if (0 == strcmp(s.c_str(), handlers[i].name)) {
            handlers[i].handler();
            return;
        }
    }
}

See also this SO question: How do you implement a dispatch table in your language of choice?

A: You have several possibilities. But the first thing I should say is that C++ is strongly typed. Therefore a method that handles an instance of Foo on the one hand and Foo on the other hand is of a different type from of method that handles Foo and Bar.
Now, let's suppose that you only wish to handle Foo objects. Then you have 2 solutions:

*

*function pointers

*function objects

The function object is more general, notably, it would allow you to specify multiple combinations of parameters in one object.
class OperatorBase
{
public:
  virtual ~OperatorBase() {}

  bool operator()(Foo const& lhs, Foo const& rhs) const;
  bool operator()(Foo const& lhs, Bar const& rhs) const;
  bool operator()(Bar const& lhs, Foo const& rhs) const;
  bool operator()(Bar const& lhs, Bar const& rhs) const;
private:
  // virtual methods to actually implement this
};

struct LessThanOperator: OperatorBase
{
  // impl
};

class OperatorFactory
{
public:
  static OperatorBase& Get(std::string const& name);

  template <class T>
  static void Register(std::string const& name);
private:
  typedef boost::ptr_map<std::string, OperatorBase> ops_t;
  static ops_t& Get() { static ops_t O; return O; }
};

And then you can proceed:
// Choose the operator
OperatorBase& op = OperatorFactory::Get("lt");

Foo foo;
Bar bar;

bool const result = op(foo, bar);

It's quite tedious work though.

A: There are ways to do similar things in C++ with arrays and dynamic dispatch.
What you do is create an abstract class with some standard action(), like so:
class abstract_handler {
public:
   virtual void action () = 0;
}

Then you create subclasses with different implementations of action(). For example, for your "ffa" branch you might write:
class ffa_handler : public abstract_handler {
public:
   virtual action() {
      // Do your custom "ffa" stuff in here
   }

   // Add your custom "ffa" members for action() to work on here.
   // ...and of course a constructor to initialize them.
}

Then you create a map (in your case, indexed by std::string) of pointers to objects of each of your classes. At startup you populate this with the proper objects on the proper string indices. Then at runtime all you have to do is:
handler_map[index_string].action();

Why Oregon? What about Washington?
One would think that Washington would have been one of the first states to adopt a new technology that is at the forefront of green tech. Unfortunately, we weren't.
We at Elemental have been waiting patiently for years to have this technology, and as creative and progressive as we have been, it never occurred to us that we could just go to the neighboring state and partner with a firm down there. When our founder, Jeff, was at a convention earlier in the year, he was talking with one of the tank manufacturers and they suggested "Why don't you partner with Aqua Green in Portland?" We thought it was a splendid idea.
So, that is "why Oregon" and it is a HUGE honor to be the first funeral firm in the Puget Sound area to bring aquamation to the families in our community.

Chase Wileman
chase.wileman@uky.edu
Chase Wileman, a former star at SMU and assistant coach at Dartmouth, is in his fourth year as an assistant on the Kentucky men's soccer coaching staff. In Wileman's first three years at Kentucky the Wildcats have advanced to the NCAA Tournament each season and claimed the Conference USA Regular Season Championship in 2015. UK also earned its first NCAA Tournament top-16 seed in 2016. Wileman, known as a tireless recruiter, plays a key role in training the team in addition to developing scouting reports and formulating the team's tactics. A native of Grand Prairie, Texas, Wileman came to Kentucky after three years at Dartmouth (2011-13); where in 2011 he teamed with Cedergren in leading the Big Green to their fifth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance in 2011. In 2012, Wileman helped direct Dartmouth to a second-place finish in the Ivy League. Wileman served under head coaches Jeff Cook (2011-12) and Chad Riley (2013). "We are excited to welcome Chase to the Kentucky soccer family," Cedergren said. "Having had the pleasure of working with Chase during the 2011 season at Dartmouth, I have seen first-hand the positive impact he brings to a program. Chase is a tireless worker, has great technical knowledge and will be a great asset in recruiting. He has impressive experience as a player, both collegiately and professionally, and will be a profound educator for our student-athletes." "I am excited and humbled to get the chance to continue my career at Kentucky," Wileman said. "Having had the opportunity to work with Johan at Dartmouth, I knew that he would be a tremendous head coach and that he would be someone that I would want to work alongside. Johan, the staff and the UK administration are building something really special in Lexington and I am eager to come in and continue the progress that they've started. I just want to thank Johan, David Casper, Kevin Saal and Mitch Barnhart for the opportunity to assist in building one of the top programs in collegiate soccer." In the three years prior to his arrival in Lexington, Wileman served as an assistant coach with the Big Green, including functioning as the lead assistant for the 2013 season. In 2011, his inaugural season on the coaching staff, serving under Cook and on the staff with Cedergren, Wileman helped lead the Big Green to their ninth Ivy League title and their fifth consecutive NCAA Tournament berth. He helped mentor Ivy League Player of the Year Lucky Mkosana and four Dartmouth standouts that earned All-Ivy League honors. In 2012, with Cedergren departing to direct the Wildcats to their first NCAA Tournament berth since 2003, Wileman served as an assistant coach for Cook and helped lead the Big Green to a 9-7 record, including a 5-2 finish in Ivy League action. Wileman came to Dartmouth in 2011 after serving extensively as a youth coach in the Dallas area. He coached on several North Texas ODP teams while earning a U.S. Soccer Federation "A" License. Before starting his coaching career, Wileman played in Major League Soccer with FC Dallas from 2007-09, after a standout career with powerhouse SMU (2003-06). He was selected by Dallas in the supplemental draft in 2007 and he made his professional debut in a US Open Cup third-round game against Miami FC. He made his MLS debut during a 4-0 win over the Los Angeles Galaxy, registering an assist. In 2008, he was named reserve team MVP. Wileman played four seasons at SMU, where he helped lead the Mustangs to four consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, including a berth in the College Cup in 2005. A team captain as a senior, Wileman scored 13 goals and tallied 18 assists to earn first-team Conference USA honors, also earning first-team National Soccer Coaches Association of America All-Midwest Region honors during his collegiate career. As a junior, Wileman had a pair of goals and assists, adding an assist as a sophomore and two as a freshman. Before playing for the Mustangs, Wileman saw three years of residency in the USA ODP National Team Program at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., also earning Parade and McDonald's High School All-America accolades.

The boron isotope-pH proxy, applied to mixed-layer planktic foraminifera, has great potential for estimating past CO2 levels, which in turn is crucial to advance our understanding of how this greenhouse gas influences Earth's climate. Previous culture experiments have shown that, although the boron isotopic compositions of various planktic foraminifera are pH dependent, they do not agree with the aqueous geochemical basis of the proxy. Here we outline the results of culture experiments on Globigerinoides ruber (white) across a range of pH (∼7.5–8.2) and analysed via multicollector inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICPMS), and compare these data to core-top and sediment-trap samples to derive a robust new species-specific boron isotope-pH calibration. Consistent with earlier culture studies, we show a reduced pH dependency of the boron isotopic composition of symbiont-bearing planktonic foraminifera compared to borate ion in seawater. We also present evidence for a size fraction effect in the δ11B of G. ruber. Finally, we reconstruct atmospheric CO2 concentrations over the last deglacial using our new calibration at two equatorial sites, ODP Site 999A and Site GeoB1523-1. These data provide further grounding for the application of the boron isotope-pH proxy in reconstructions of past atmospheric CO2 levels.

Second Year Showcase 2019
STUDYING AT NYU GRADUATE FILM
Tisch Collaborations
The NYU Tisch Graduate Film program provides an intensive laboratory in writing/directing as well as concentrations in all other areas of filmmaking.
Each student makes at least four short films during their three years in the program, plus a thesis project. Our students are constantly filming, shooting exercises that allow them to flex their directorial muscles and prepare them to make their finished films.
Students begin the program as writer-directors, but are trained in the whole range of filmmaking skills. Coursework focuses on providing the skills to write, shoot, direct, edit, design, record and produce their own and each other's films.
While we aim for students to achieve basic mastery of the classic tools of the film director, the curriculum encourages students to explore the personal variations within the art form that will lead to discovery of their own style.
In the first year of the program students are immersed in the crafts of writing, shooting, directing, editing, acting and producing as they are asked to make three short films over two semesters.
MOS, a 4-minute silent, 16mm film
In fall semester, students learn visual storytelling by making a short, black and white film with no dialogue, and no music, shot on 16mm film, using only available light.
The MOS project is designed to introduce the student to the graphic, photographic, and purely cinematic tools which are the foundation of the medium: frame, location, movement of actor and camera, light, mise-en-scene. The idea is to create characters in dynamic dramatic situations, simply and with control of the basic cinematic elements.
The MOS script is developed with the support of the Screenwriting and Directing faculty. Through the Production Sound, Editing, Actors Craft and Cinematography courses, students embrace the collaborative tools of the auteur filmmaker.
NYU Graduate Film is one of the only film programs in the country that still requires students to shoot a curricular project on celluloid film. The discipline imposed on the director by using film is a valuable learning experience. With only a limited amount of footage to shoot, and without the instant gratification offered by digital mediums, the director is forced to plan and make artistic choices to ensure that every frame counts.
Observational Character Study (OCS), a 5-minute digital film
The second project of the year is a five-minute, color, observational documentary exercise that is shot over the inter-term break with one or two person crews.
In this exercise, students explore a character by observing them. Each student must find and observe a person from real life who will be the subject of the piece. Students search for and film various aspects of their chosen subject that reveal character, such as behavior and place.
What is learned from the documentary exercise can be of great value to the dramatic director. The OCS project compels the filmmaker to use the camera to capture life as it happens, a skill which leads to more truthful and authentic behavior in their narrative fictional work.
Spring Narrative, a sync-sound, 7-minute digital film
For the final project of the first year, students make a short narrative, sync-sound film without many of the restrictions imposed on earlier projects. Students write scripts with dialogue, shoot on digital cameras, in color, using cinematic lighting, and are free to incorporate music into the finished film.
However, the scope of the project is intentionally limited. Each film uses no more than three actors, in three locations, in three scenes. Once again, these limitations are meant to inspire creativity and instill the discipline of concise, effective storytelling.
Students workshop these projects in small Writing-Directing sections which emphasize narrative, character development, scene construction, dialogue, performance and directing styles. Each class the student takes in the Spring semester focuses on this film, including training in casting and rehearsing with actors, blocking, locations, design, commanding a set, shooting and editing for story.
The year culminates in the First Year Marathon, a celebration and screening which allows classmates, cast and crew, family members and faculty to view and honor the films that have been completed.
In the second year of the program the students are given a much deeper level of freedom to follow their own instincts and artistic voices. At the same time they are still working under the guidance of the faculty and a curriculum designed to deepen their knowledge and mastery of the crafts of filmmaking.
The entire year is devoted to the creation of a 10-minute narrative film with no restrictions other than the time limit. Spending an entire year working on a short film allows students to explore the various stages of filmmaking in great detail. They learn from the processes of writing, rewriting, casting, rehearsing, repeated viewings, re-cutting, sound design, music composition, color correction and the creation of the finished film.
A cohort of producing students from the Stern/Tisch Dual Degree program join the program in 2nd year, participating in the same curriculum as Graduate Film MFA students and producing many of their classmates' films, as well as often directing their own films.
Many NYU 2nd year films have gone on to win top awards at international film festivals, including multiple Student Academy Awards.
The Second Year Film, a 10 minute sync-sound film (digital or film)
The second year begins with a one-week Writing Intensive in which students workshop and revise the script for their ten-minute film. They are expected and encouraged to come into this workshop with already developed ideas, treatments and even drafts of their scripts.
As the students move towards pre-production, they are immersed in courses which challenge them to further hone their craft in the service of this project. Directing and Cinematography classes explore the how and why of visual style, including movement, composition, point of view, cinematic flow, stillness, light and shadow, color, depth, blocking and mise-en-scene. Special emphasis is also put on directing actors, focusing on script analysis and subtext in performance to explore how to cinematically use the basic, fundamental components of drama.
After eight weeks of class preparation, students enter a production period that extends from early November through Mid-January. Each student is allowed one week of production time, with four or five crews going out each week. Students choose their own crews from among their classmates, and shoot their films all over the the U.S. and the globe. Equipment (16 mm film or digital cameras) and a small cash allotment is provided to each 2nd year director.
Students edit their second year films throughout the Spring semester. The entire class convenes in a weekly Master Class with all the directing teachers to screen cuts of everyone's work, for an in-depth group critique. Mid-semester, the entire faculty critiques the fine-cut version of the work.
The spring semester classes are primarily elective to allow the possibility of specialization. While most students choose to graduate as writer-directors, in the second year, some students elect to concentrate their studies in cinematography, producing, or editing, as they move towards the third year and thesis period. Students also begin to write longer form material, either feature scripts, pilots or longer shorts, in the spring writing classes.
As the students prepare for their 3rd year, which will be geared toward their thesis project, the faculty provides advisement and guidance on how to approach the entirely elective third-year curriculum.
At the end of the second year, students organize a widely-attended, celebratory 2nd Year Showcase screening at an off-campus venue.
This final year is more self-designed, depending on what the student will make for their thesis: a short film, a short or feature length documentary, a web series, a feature script, a television pilot, or, in some cases, a micro-budgeted feature film. Students who are focusing on Cinematography, Producing or Editing pursue advanced coursework and begin to develop a body of work in their chosen discipline.
Visiting faculty challenge the students to expand their work in ways they have not yet explored, and guide them as they begin preparing their thesis.
Collaborative classes with other Tisch Graduate programs provide a unique opportunity to create films in concert with students from the Design, Acting and Dramatic Writing programs.
A range of electives are offered, including Directing Commercials, Documentary, Writing the Feature or Television Series, as well as Independent Studies with selected faculty.
The goal is that by the end of the Third Year, the student has strengthened and deepened their skills sufficient to successfully launch a thesis project soon after finishing their course work.
Thesis (3rd or 4th Year)
The thesis offers an opportunity to take on a project of considerable sophistication, and should be an expression of the student's own personal voice and vision. The final thesis presentation must demonstrate mastery of the craft of filmmaking and should rise to the level of professional standards in its execution so that it can help the student transition to a professional career.
While it is possible to graduate at the end of their 3rd year, many students will choose to shoot or write their thesis after the conclusion of their coursework, during a period of matriculation that lasts up to two semesters (a 4th year). During these two additional semesters, tuition is not charged, but students pay maintenance of matriculation, registration and departmental lab fees.

The FH-KM 135° adjustable power scythe attachment transforms your STIHL KombiMotor into a precise weed and grass trimmer. Rather than throw grass as its being trimmed, this KombiSystem attachment features a unique design that forces the grass to "lie down" after it is cut. No throwing grass and covering walkways with grass trimmings. Ideal for parking lots and tight trimming conditions.


The scheme, which is the brainchild of Yeo Valley Chairman Tim Mead, is currently running across the majority of its product range. It is the largest customer promotion the brand has ever launched and has been made by possible by Clondalkin's innovative printing technology.
Clondalkin has printed a unique code number on the surface of most of the Yeo Valley brand lidded products, to ensure the printing ink does not contaminate the product. The code is covered by the design and is only revealed when the polyester lid is peeled back. Customers enter these codes online to collect a virtual currency, called 'Yeokens', which can be exchanged for a host of different offers, including visits to Yeo Valley, days out around Britain, Yeo Valley merchandise and charity donations.
John Chadwick, Managing Director of Clondalkin Flexible Packaging Bury, comments: "It is the first time this printing technology has been used in the UK dairy market. We initially developed the concept to cover a number of Yeo Valley promotions, including competitions to "Win a Landrover", "Win a Campervan" and "Win a Holiday of a Lifetime". Following this success Yeo Valley approached us to help facilitate a brand new loyalty scheme across the product portfolio. We are delighted to have been involved in such an exciting campaign from the outset. We have already printed over 60 million unique coded lids for Yeo Valley and we wish them every success with their latest initiative.
'Yeokens' codes appear on the Yeo Valley brand's organic products and are available in shops and supermarkets now.
Clondalkin Flexible Packaging Bury is a leading supplier of flexible packaging solutions in the food, dairy, beverage and pharmaceutical sectors. Part of the worldwide Clondalkin Group, the company is a pioneer and continues to lead competitors in the production of lids and shrink sleeve packaging solutions. The company is one of 20 production facilities operating throughout Europe and North America under the Clondalkin Group's Flexible Packaging Division.

Q: An error occurred creating the configuration section handler error in .NET 4.5 I have a problem... nobody else can help so I wonder if anybody here can?
I have a web service project (originally in .NET 2.0 but upgraded to .NET 4.5) which was working perfectly this morning. I also have a Winforms project which connects to the web services.
When building the Winforms app, the build is successful, when running it, I get the error:

An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for    applicationSettings/Windows.Main.Properties.Settings: Could not load file or assembly 'Application, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I have looked through SO and other sites but cannot find anything specific that shows the cause of this error.  I've tried downgrading the .NET Frameworks and upgrading them again - everything is running on 4.5 - but this fails on:
[global::System.Configuration.ApplicationScopedSettingAttribute()]
[global::System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute()]
[global::System.Configuration.SpecialSettingAttribute(global::System.Configuration.SpecialSetting.WebServiceUrl)]
[global::System.Configuration.DefaultSettingValueAttribute("http://localhost:53442/ConfigurationService.asmx")]
public string Windows_Main_BnConfigurationService_ConfigurationService {
        get {
            return ((string)(this["Windows_Main_BnConfigurationService_ConfigurationService"]));
        }

I've checked through a load of code but cannot seem to find the cause of the problem.
This will likely be an easy fix for somebody in the know, I'm just not in the know on this error however!  HELP?!

A: Fixed! The WebService solution was originally set up on .NET 2.0. This was referenced OK in the Windows.Main app. The WebService framework was subsequently updated to 4.5 but the references in the Windows app didn't update - even after deleting and re-adding them. I've upgraded the web services to WCF and it looks good!  Thanks for your input guys!!! It steered me in the right direction! :)

State Of Decay Sells 1 Million
Undead Labs' open-world zombie game State of Decay has hit another sales milestone. Today the Seattle-based developer revealed that over a million copies have been sold across the Xbox 360 and PC.
State of Decay takes place in the Trumbull Valley. After the outbreak of a mysterious virus, the towns and countryside in the valley are now crawling with zombies. The player must lead a group of human survivors. After establishing a base, they have to protect it from the undead and keep it well-supplied. Supplies are finite and survivors can die permanently so players have to move quickly to find a way to escape the valley.
Decay launched on Xbox Live Arcade on June 5th. The game was an immediate hit, selling over 500,000 copies in its first week.
"As we said at the half million mark, we are humbled by your continuing support and enthusiasm for the ideas in State of Decay," says Undead Labs. "Your encouragement drives us to keep working and keep improving. You got us here with your energy, your feedback, and your telling your friends about us. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and brains."
Last month, Undead Labs released the game on PC through Steam Early Access. The PC version features higher resolution graphics and a higher framerate than its 360 counterpart. They're currently working to add keyboard and mouse support to the PC version and fix up any bugs they find. PC gamers can spend $19.99 and get access to the beta version of the game as well as the final version when it's available later in the year.
Undead Labs is also developing a DLC pack for State of Decay. The DLC, entitled "Breakdown," provides a sandbox-like mode for the game. Players can build up their base without worrying about completing story missions. Once they've stripped the valley of supplies, they can start over in a fresh game world with harder enemies.
"We're so close to having some news about our first DLC pack that we're going to go ahead and offer State of Decay: Breakdown as a prize in our One Million Celebration," Undead says.
They encourage players to head to this forum thread and provide your favorite memory of the game. Five players will be chosen at random to receive free Breakdown codes. Ten other players will receive other related swag.

Clearwater Police investigating Mexican girl's injury at Scientology headquarters.
CLEARWATER — The Clearwater Police Department is investigating an incident in which a 17-year-old girl from Mexico suffered a head injury Sunday at the Church of Scientology's international spiritual headquarters.
Chief Dan Slaughter said church staff reported the girl slipped on stairs and hit the back of her head, which appears to be accidental.
Church staff did not call an ambulance but drove the girl 4 miles to Largo Medical Center for treatment, bypassing Morton Plant Hospital, which is 1 mile from the Flag building.
Gualtieri said the Child Protection Investigation Division received an anonymous complaint about the case on Monday. The CPI investigator, which handles the child welfare component, contacted Clearwater police on Thursday to cover the criminal investigation portion. Slaughter said Clearwater police are lining up interviews with Scientology staff, who are cooperating.
Investigators have also requested surveillance video that is thought to have captured the incident.
Morton Plant Hospital employs evil neurologists.
Ben Shaw, you squirrel you, L. Ron says that children are just big thetans in little bodies.
She's at Johns Hopkins in a nest of neurologists. Sounds like it was a severe head injury.
Some cults just never learn.
There is a possibility this has more chapters to unfurl. In the event nothing comes of it I will merge it with the existing thread, until then stand alone thread is reasonable.
"There were conflicting reports as to where the girl's parents were located."
Don't think so. Police said the parents were in Mexico on the Sunday of the accident. Ben Shaw said that they were at the hospital by the Thursday after.
How can that be? They have superpowerz from LRH study tech.

It's no secret that pregnancy often causes sleepless nights (the beginning of the end of sleeping normally, LOL). The bigger your belly gets, the more uncomfortable you'll feel at night when you're trying to sleep. And let's not even get started on nighttime trips to the bathroom… by the time you've reached your ninth month of pregnancy, you might as well sleep next to the toilet!
To help you get as comfortable as possible during this otherwise uncomfortable time, I've rounded up my favorite pieces of maternity sleepwear. Bonus: most of these items are nursing-friendly, so you can use them long after you give birth.
Available in three colors, this set looks so cozy and the price is great!
I always love a good pair of leggings! These Motherhood Maternity leggings are super soft, and the matching tee offers plenty of room for your growing bump as well as side access for easy nursing.
You'll want to wear these nursing jammies long after pregnancy. They also make really great "hospital PJs" to bring along with you on D-day. See also: Pack your Bags!
I adore this sweet robe with "MAMA" embroidered on the chest. I'm a big fan of Belabumbum for its sleep and lounge-wear, plus its lovely mom-inspired gifts. Speaking of which, this robe would make an awesome baby shower gift!
This is an awesome value for a robe and gown set. The clip-down tabs on the nightgown are great for nursing, and the belt is sewn in so you won't lose it (which happens to me all the time!).
This nightgown is made of modal, which is basically a super soft rayon blend, making it perfect for pregnancy. It's also cut at a great length that won't get too short as your bump grows. Another thing to love: the ¾ sleeve offers a little more warmth for the cooler nights without making you hot.
Ingrid & Isabel at Target?? Oh, yes ma'am! I wore this soft, lightweight nightgown throughout my pregnancy and throughout nursing. It was perfect for night feeds!
Barefoot Dreams is one of our favorite "comfort" brands. On those postpartum days when I didn't feel like changing out of my jammies or yoga pants, throwing this cute little cardigan on always made me feel a little more "put together" – HA!
These pants are perfect to pair with your maternity tanks and tees. Loose and oh-so-soft, they're a great alternative to leggings.
I tried two pregnancy pillows during my pregnancies and this one is definitely my favorite. My bump got super heavy by the end, but this pillow gave me some much-needed support (my second baby was over 9 pounds, so I needed all the help I could get!).
Starting in my second trimester, I had very restless, achy legs at night. I'd rub this gel into my calves before bed and it really helped me stay asleep. I could definitely tell the difference on the nights I didn't use it.
That's all she wrote in the maternity pajama and sleeping department. We hope you find some soft, cuddly things to help you get more zzz's.


and wilt hear us? yea, we can.
'Angel voices ever singing' is a firm favourite among the countless number of organists and choristers who help to lead worship in the Churches of England and Wales. It is popularly sung at music and dedication festivals.
It was actually written for a service to dedicate a new pipe organ at St. John the Evangelist's, Wingate, Lancashire, in 1861. St. John's had been built just two years earlier during a time of great religious revival and Church building in these lands.
The newly appointed Vicar of the parish, the Revd. W. K. Macrorie [who became Bishop of Maritzburg, South Africa, in 1869] invited his friend, Revd. Francis Pott, to write a hymn for the dedication service of the newly built 'Hill' organ at St. John's, Wingate.
The 19th century saw the installation of pipe organs in thousands of parish Churches in Britain. This was often to the great consternation of the musicians and minstrels who had led the singing of the metrical psalms on their stringed instruments - usually from the west gallery of the Church. The minstrels often played in the local inns over the weekend and were, at times, somewhat unreliable because of this. Their rustic music, immortalised by Thomas Hardy in 'Under the Greenwood Tree'  was virtually swept away by the Victorian love affair with the pipe organ. All Saints, Oystermouth, was no exception to this new trend. It took delivery of its first organ, built by Postill of York [at a cost of £590] in 1873, and a gift of Henry Crawshay.
The author of 'Angel voices', Revd Francis Pott, had come under the influence of the Oxford [High Church] movement. He had received a classical education at Brasenose College, Oxford, and took Holy Orders in 1856. After serving three curacies he became Rector of Norhill, Bedforshire, in 1866 where he stayed for the remainder of his ministry. He served on the committee of 'Hymns Ancient & Modern' which was published in 1861.
Though he wrote several original hymns Francis Pott is best remembered as a translator of ancient hymns into English. The most famous example being The strife is o'er the battle won.
After writing the words of Angel voices, Pott asked Dr. E.G. Monk, the musical editor of Hymns Ancient & Modern to compose a suitable tune. The result was a magnificent match between poetry and harmony. The words are almost exclusively sung to Monk's tune, Angel voices.
The hymn begins by celebrating the ceaseless and eternal praise of heaven. In verse two the author asks a question, if God is worshipped unceasingly by the angelic hosts in heaven will he accept the praise of 'sinful man'? His answer 'yes' is emphatically celebrated in verses three and four. Craftman's art and music's measure for thy pleasure all combine make Pott's words not only suitable for the first occasion it was sung but for any act of worship where hearts and minds and hands and voices are offered to God in praise and adoration. The hymn ends with a doxology in praise of the Trinity and the affirmation, Of the best that thou hast given earth and heaven render thee.
