Interview with Film Director, Al Lougher, on the Horror Short, The Dollmaker
Oct 02, 2019 at 10:45 pm by nickcharles
With Halloween right around the corner, I've been indulging in short films in the horror genre of late. My favorites are always those that are so genuinely creepy and well-written that they stick with you. The award-winning short film, The Dollmaker is one of those films! Cleverly written by Matias Caruso and expertly directed by Al Lougher, The Dollmaker delivers a powerful story about a mother grieving the loss of her child, and the consequences of the magical surrogate she finds in his place. It is incredible the amount of emotion and chills served up in just a nine minute film.
I recently had the wonderful opportunity to talk with Director, Al Lougher about the film and some of his other work. He was gracious enough to expand on what he does, and offer some great advice about filmmaking. Be sure to watch the film, read the interview, and please comment and share.
Tell us a little bit about yourself. How did you get started in filmmaking?
I'm from a small Welsh town in the UK but moved to the US almost 20 years ago. I started out directing music videos and made my first short film in my early 20's, then I took a hiatus from filmmaking and got more involved in photography. Around 2011, as the digital video revolution was taking off, I got the itch to start making narrative films again and my first short film was So Pretty, about a vampire who only hunts and feeds off those that have escaped justice. I followed up with a sequel called So Dark, both of which are available to stream on Amazon. I spent the next few years pitching these two films as a mini-series. Ultimately, it went nowhere due to the waning interest of vampire-related stories, and I moved on to other projects.
As a director, can you tell us what your job entails?
For the most part, all of the films I've made I've been involved in all aspects of the production and wear many, many hats. For The Dollmaker, in addition to directing, I designed the dolls, built some of the props, edited the film, did the visual effects and created all the marketing materials. While this is more hands-on than you'd normally be on higher budget productions, with low budget filmmaking you have to be prepared to roll up your sleeves and dig in.
What were some of the challenges you faced in making "The Dollmaker"?
The greatest challenges were getting the dolls right, casting for the young boy and working with a crew I'd never worked with before. I was never entirely happy with how the dolls came out and we were still rushing to finish them just days before we started shooting. Given a higher budget, I probably would've gone with a different design. And casting the boy was really difficult because whenever we'd send the script to the parents, as soon as they'd read the first page with an opening scene depicting a boy in a coffin, they'd immediately turn us down. I mean, who wants to see their own child in a coffin? Also, in the script, the boy was written as a 4yr old and finding actors that young, and with patience, is extremely hard. Luckily we were able to find young Tony, who played Tim in the film and was a little older but very small, and his mother didn't care about the coffin aspect, so they were both a joy to work with. I'd also spent the last few years as a portrait photographer so having worked with kids definitely helped.
How long did filming take?
We shot the film over 4 days in Queens, New York. But you never, ever have enough days! Especially with New York traffic.
The acting was fantastic, and The Dollmaker character was especially creepily handled by Daniel Berkey. How was it working with the cast and crew on this film?
They were all a joy to work with and it was the first time I'd worked with a New York cast and crew. Everyone was great. And Dan, who played the titular Dollmaker, was an amazing find. I had breakfast with him in Brooklyn one morning and we both shared our love of movies over a coffee and a bagel. He's a great guy and has performed in hundreds of productions. Likewise, Perri Lauren (Jenna Deyton) and Sean Meehan (Rick Deyton) we're both awesome and total pros. And a shout out to the New York filmmakers. They really are honed in on their craft and it was probably the most professional crew I've ever worked with.
What brought you to make "The Dollmaker" in the first place?
I had been working with the writer, Matias Caruso, on another script when he showed me The Dollmaker script. I instantly fell in love with it. Having two kids of my own, I really connected with the material and could understand what a parent would go through when dealing with the loss of a loved one. It's not often you read a short script that is so impactful yet so unique, and it really is a textbook example of how to write a short film script. I also loved the Twilight Zone vibe to it and the shocking twist. At the time Matias had sold the rights to someone else and after the script sat on their shelf for a few years, I was able to track them down and begged them to let me make it. We worked out a deal and a few months later we began filming. That person, Richard D'Angelo, ended up producing the film and has since become a good friend of mine. We have worked together on a couple of projects since.
How closely was the script followed? Were there any notable changes from the original story by Matias Caruso?
As with most films, you can never really follow the script to a T. There's always something that pops up that results in having to make some changes, whether it's time or money, or a line of dialogue that sounds better when read out loud. There were visually things we couldn't pull off the way it was written in the script. As an example, there was a cool sequence that involved the hourglass that would've taken a ton of money to pull off and we just had to settle for something simpler. Likewise, there were moments in the script when the doll turned into the real boy that would've been easy for the likes of ILM but for us we had to resort to a more simple approach, like using various camera angles and techniques. A good example is when the mom steps outside onto the porch. Aside from that, what was on the page is pretty much what we shot. We didn't really want to change a thing, a testament to the brilliant writing by Matias.
What do you feel worked best in this film? Do you have a particular favorite scene?
I think my favorite scene is in the kitchen, watching the dad breaking down, him knowing that his wife has totally lost it while he has to sit and watch her feed oatmeal to the doll. That always gets an uncomfortable chuckle in the audience. And I think the final reveal, without giving it away in case anyone reading this hasn't watched the film, was a nightmare to shoot. It was the last day, the sun was going down and we hadn't even got that shot. When the husband drags his wife outside that was supposed to be a single seamless shot, following them through the doorway. We did maybe a dozen takes and it got to the point where the actor was getting frustrated, in fact, we were all getting frustrated, and we just had to take a break to reset, rethink and just decide to break that shot up. As a director, you have to sometimes let go of your initial plans and try something else if it's not working. In the end, the scene is just as effective so the original shot we had planned didn't really matter anyway.
What equipment was used to shoot the film, and what software was used for editing and visual effects?
We shot the film on the Arri Alexa and used Adobe Premiere to edit and After Effects for the VFX. The sound was edited in Pro Tools and the color grading was done in Davinci Resolve.
What films have inspired and/or influenced you most?
I have a huge love for anything John Carpenter makes, The Thing being my favorite film of all time. But I'm also influenced by the likes of Stephen King and The Twilight Zone, so I tend to seek out stories that are a little strange, maybe a little creepy, and have a good twist. Lately, I've been really digging Ari Aster's work on Hereditary and Midsommar. I love me some folk horror!
Do you particularly enjoy working in the horror genre? Is there anything else you'd like to try?
All of my films have been in the horror genre, but lately I've been drawn to the Southern Noir thrillers such as Green Room, Blue Ruin, Hell or High Water, etc. In fact, I've been writing a feature that combines my love of both these genres.
Is there anything you are working on now that you can tell us about?
We are currently in the midst of developing The Dollmaker into a feature film. We've expanded the short film into a fantastic feature-length story which is sort of in the tone of The Sixth Sense. We are now working with a Hollywood studio who bought the rights and we're making sure the script is as good as it can be. If all goes to plan, I hope this to be my debut feature film released sometime next year. You can follow the progress on our Facebook page @thedollmakermovie for updates.
What is your proudest achievement thus far?
We played the film at Comic-Con last year and that was a fantastic experience and I got the chance to geek-out a little. But also that the film went viral and has nearly 40 million views online took me by surprise. It's a film that keeps getting shared and re-uploaded because people have connected with it in their own way. Pretty proud of that, really.
Any advice for young filmmakers?
Well, the cliched response these days is to say "grab a camera and just go shoot something," but it really is true and the best advice anyone can give, especially as cameras are so cheap with even Hollywood films being shot on iPhones these days. Join local filmmaker groups, befriend actors or even take acting lessons because that's how you meet them (while also learning how to direct actors) and also befriend people with their own gear. All you need then is a good script or idea. And of course, just make sure you have enough money to feed your cast and crew!
I also have to point readers to check out some of your earlier work. The short film "Blood, Dust, and Banjos" that you wrote and directed in 2014 is simply fantastic. I'm blown away that this was shot so quickly, and with no money. What can you tell us about this film, and how did you pull it off so well?
We were bored that summer and wanted to just get out and make something, so we cobbled together a script at the Eleventh Hour, rented a RV (there were no bathrooms where we shot it) and just got out there and started shooting. This also ties back into the advice above, sometimes you just have to grab a camera and go make something. And if you've surrounded yourself with talent, then that makes it so much easier. In hindsight, the film was probably the hardest thing I've done. With my second short film, So Pretty, we actually rented an entire train for 12 hours and shot the entire short film in it from dusk to dawn. If anything had gone wrong, it would've been too expensive to go back and get some extra shots. The train cost half of our budget. With BD&B, we were out in the 90 degree heat in the middle of the Florida summer, and in the middle of nowhere. By the end of each day, we were all suffering from heat exhaustion. But it was a ton of fun and is a good example of just getting out there and making something with no money, just passion.
What do you believe is key to making a great film?
Write, or get your hands on a damn good script. It all starts with the concept and the script. And then surround yourself with talented and passionate people. And even then, pour 100% of your energy into it. Never be a diva on set and treat all your cast and crew with respect. Do that and you'll always walk away with something special. The end result should be a reflection of the passion behind it.
If you had the opportunity to remake a classic, what would it be?
Salem's Lot. I have a love for vampire movies and this is the one film that scared the crap out of me as a kid. I always wanted to have the chance one day to remake this film, but it looks like they're already developing it so that ship has sailed. The other film would be An American Werewolf in London. In fact, I wouldn't remake it, I would make a prequel to it that takes place entirely in the same small village at the opening of the film, called Erwood. Fun fact, that was filmed on my doorstep in Wales where I grew up, and as a wee lad I had even visited the set during production. Somehow though I don't think John Landis will be letting go of the film rights anytime soon!

Q: String Extraction I have a file with the text pattern:
AAAA - BBBB (CCCC) - (DDDD)

I'm only interested in using the first set AAAA - BBBB individually (i.e. AAAA and BBBB) I've chopped off the '(CCCC) - (DDDD)' using:
FIRST_SET="${STRING%% (*}"

giving me 'AAAA - BBBB'.
For the life of me I can't extract 'AAAA' from the second 'BBBB'.
Thanks in advance.

A: Assuming that you want the final result in two shell variables, that the words that you want are delimited by whitespace, that there is no whitespace embedded in the words, and that the IFS variable has the default value:
$ read -r word1 dash word2 junk <file
$ printf 'word1 = "%s"\nword2 = "%s"\n' "$word1" "$word2"
word1 = "AAAA"
word2 = "BBBB"

The read command used here will read in the first word into the variable word1 and it will read the second word into the variable word2.  The dash between the words is read into the variable dash and the junk at the end get placed in the variable called junk.

A: Just do it like your first step:
FIRST_SET="${STRING%% (*}"
FIRST_WORD=${FIRST_SET%% *}
SECOND_WORD=${FIRST_SET##* }

Valentina Vladimirovna Teresjkova (; født 6. marts 1937) er en pensioneret sovjetisk kosmonaut og ingeniør. Hun har været indvalgt i Statsdumaen ved partiet Det Forenede Rusland siden 2011. Teresjkova var den første kvinde, der fløj i verdensrummet, da hun tog på rumfærd med Vostok 6 den 16. juni 1963.

Opvæskt
Teresjkova blev født ind i en familie, hvor faderen, Vladimir Teresjkov, var bonde, men mistede livet i tjeneste for Den Røde Hær under Vinterkrigen, da Teresjkova var blot 2 år. Moderen opdrog derefter Teresjkova og hendes to søskende egenhændigt, alt imens hun arbejdede på et bomuldsspinderi. Teresjkova kom selv til at arbejde på selvsamme fabrik fra attenårsalderen.

I fritiden fandt hun i en tidlig alder interesse for faldskærmsudspring. Interessen for luftsport udfoldede sig i den lokale aeroklub, hvor hun havde sit første udspring i en alder af 22 år, og som amatør foretog hun mindst 126 udspring. Samtidigt indrulleredes hun i det sovjetiske ungdomspolitiske parti, Komsomol.

Den første kvinde i verdensrummet

Udvælgelse og træningsforløb

I 1962 blev Teresjkova udvalgt som kandidat til at være kosmonaut ved Sovjetunionens rumprogram for kvinder, hvor hun var én ud af fem kandidater fra mere end 400 ansøgere. De udvalgte kvinder til rumprogrammet var Tatjana Kusnetsova,  Irina Solovjova (), Sjanna Jorkina (), Valentina Ponomarjova () og Teresjkova. Teresjkovas erfaring med faldskærmsudspring blev et springende punkt i forbindelse med udvælgelsen, da gode og præcise evner udi udspring var vigtigt. Årsagen dertil var, at programmets type af rumkapsel var konstrueret således, at kosmonauten ved tilbagevenden fra kosmos var nødsaget til og instrueret i at skulle kastes ud af kapslen, mens denne stadig var på himlen. I forbindelse med udvælgelsesprocessen skulle Nikita Khrusjtjov, den sovjetiske leder som havde autoriseret rumprogrammet, desuden i særdeleshed have fundet Teresjkova interessant som repræsentant for Den Sovjetiske Union, idet hendes baggrund gjorde, at hun kunne fremføres som en jævn, socialistisk kvinde, som, under socialismen, kunne opnå at drage mod verdensrummet.

Træningsforløbet var identisk med forudgående mandlige, sovjetiske kosmonauters. Angående det teoretiske aspekt, udgjordes dette af intensive instruktioner i raketteknologi, astronomi og navigationsteknikker. Den fysiske optræning indebar blandt andet træning i vægtløs tilstand og faldskærmsudspring.

Teresjkovas rumfærd
Den 16. juni 1963 blev Teresjkova sendt ud i rummet med Vostok 6. Dermed blev hun den første kvinde i verdenshistorien til at befinde sig i det ydre rum. Opsendelsen var en del af et Vostok dobbeltprogram, hvor Vostok 6, med Teresjkova ombord, og Vostok 5, med kosmonauten Valerij Bykovskij ombord, samtidigt var i kosmos. De to fartøjer havde forskellige kredsløb, men på et tidspunkt var de blot tre mil fra hinanden, hvilket gjorde det muligt for de to kosmonauter kort at kommunikere. Dette blev anden gang i rumfartshistorien, at to kosmonauter har kommunikeret, mens de begge har befundet sig i kosmos.

Der forekom komplikationer i forbindelse med rumfærden, da en bremsemekanisme var fejlprogrammeret. Dette var en teknisk fejl, som kunne have fået fatale konsekvenser, da fartøjet ikke havde været i stand til at vende tilbage til Jorden, hvis det ikke var blevet justeret. Teresjkova bemærkede imidlertid dette forholdsvist hurtigt, hvorfor hun fejlmeldte til kontrolcentret, som gav hende nye data, der korrigerede fejlprogrammeringen.

Den 19. juni, efter 2 dage, 22 timer og 50 minutter i rummet, ramte Vostok 6 atmosfæren og Teresjkova skød sig ud med katapultsæde, hvorpå hun succesfuldt, endog i kraftig vind, svævede i faldskærm ned mod jorden. Hun landede ved søen Kulundinskoje (), i et territorium ved Republikken Altaj.

Selvom der var planer om at sende flere kvinder i kredsløb blev ingen andre fra Teresjkovas gruppe sendt op. Der gik 19 år før den næste kvinde, Svetlana Savitskaja, fløj i rummet. Efter Ruslands overtagelse af Sovjetunionens rumprogram har kun to russiske kvinderJelena Kondakova og Jelena Serovafløjet i rummet.

Uddannelse

Efter rumflyvningen studerede hun til ingeniør og blev kosmonautingeniør i 1969.

Sovjetisk politisk karriere
Den historiske rumfærd vandt Teresjkova vid berømmelse, hvorpå hun skabte en politisk karriere. Fra 1966 til 1974 var hun medlem af den Øverste Sovjet, fra 1974 til 1989 var hun medlem af Præsidiet for den Øverste Sovjet og fra 1969 til 1991 var hun medlem af Centralkomiteen for det kommunistiske parti.

Hun bestred desuden en række politiske formandsposter, deriblandt ved Den Sovjetiske Kvindekomite, Præsidiet over Sovjetunionens Selskab for Venskab og Kulturelle Relationer med Udenlandske Lande, Det Russiske Center for International Videnskabeligt og Kulturelt Samarbejde. Hun var tillige vicepræsident for Kvindernes Internationale Demokratiske Føderation. Dette fik den betydning, at Teresjkova i kraft af forskellige embeder ofte var repræsentant ved internationale begivenheder.

Politisk karriere efter Sovjettiden

Da Sovjetunionen opløstes, mistede Teresjkova sine politiske poster. Hendes generelle popularitet mindskedes dog ikke af den grund. Siden 2011 har Teresjkova været indvalgt i Dumaen ved partiet Forenet Rusland.

Privatliv
Den 3. november 1963 giftede hun sig med kosmonautkollegaen Andrian Nikolajev fra Vostok 3 (1929–2004), angiveligt under pres fra Nikita Khrusjtjov som en pr-begivenhed. Hun fødte deres datter Elena i 1964 men de blev skilt i 1982, selvom ægteskabet faldt sammen længe forinden. Hendes anden mand, dr. Sjaposjnikov, døde i 1999.

Aquatic invaders like zebra mussels, Eurasian watermilfoil, and the fish disease viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) are non-native species that cause damage to watercraft and equipment, and can interfere with our enjoyment of water recreation. These organisms also harm native plants and animals, reduce habitat for wildlife, change natural ecosystems, create health risks for humans, and result in negative economic impacts.
Easily overlooked, the main way that these aquatic invaders spread is by hitching rides on boats, trailers, and gear used by anglers, boaters, and other recreationists. If you leave a water access site without taking precautions, you may be transporting these harmful organisms from one body of water to another.


The actors lived their roles in the silver screen. Biopic of many political leaders have come out but 'Yatra' is a story of a particular incident from the life of a great leader. The Padayatra done by the late leader Y S Rajashekar Reddy garu is not a new story for the common man. But are there points which we have missed out to know from this leader's pada yatra? What was the significance of this pada yatra in Rajashekar's garu life? Answers to these questions can be understood after watch this movie.
It was at that time when YSR garu had decided to come out of politics decides to go ahead with his Pada Yatra. But how did he take this step? What did he do after seeing the problems of common man? How was the foundation laid for launching the schemes like Arogyasree, Fees Reimbursement, Fee electricity for the farmers during the Pada Yatra? Forms the movie.
There is no need to show the bad qualities of the opposition parties to portray the great leader YSR were Director Mahi V Raghava's words during the interviews. But certain scenarios in the movies differ this statement.
Mana Desam is a name of the party in the movie & this party is in power at that time. Those party people wear yellow color dresses. It is believed that, their party will come into power because their leader has built Hitech City. There is no reference of Telugu Desam Party anywhere but all these scenes portray that party only. But there are a sit of people who want change in the state. Their emotions & YSR's zeal to do something for the people has been blended perfectly in the form of Pada Yatra. Director Mahi has scored a 100 marks in showcasing the same. YSR being a congress party leader has shown heroism in every scene. There are emotions which will touch the hearts of a common man.
Mammootty has not imitated YSR anywhere. But has left no stone unturned to showcase YSRs stubbornness and perseverance. As soon as we see Mammootty in the screen we will start looking at him just the way YSR was. Mammootty has given his best. Rao Ramesh gets a good role in the movie. He was seen as KVP who is close to YSR. Ashrita Vemuganti has similarities of Vijayamma. Suhasini, Anasuya have done their bit well.
This movie will give everyone a chance to remember the great leader YS Rajashekar Reddy Garu. Though it is not an out & out political party film, but the last song sung by Penchal Das is surely a political campaign promo.

Westrucks Bodybuilders started off in 1985 as a three-man operation in Smithfield, New South Wales. Almost 30 years later, the company, now based in Wetherill Park, boasts more than 45 staff members and produces in excess of 400 units per year.
To founder and Managing Director, Greg Liggins, a large part of Westrucks' success is credited towards the strong partnership it has forged with OneSteel Metalcentre, one of the distribution companies for Australian steel pipe and tube manufacturer, Austube Mills. Even though the two businesses are situated in the same suburb, barely a five-minute stroll down the road, convenience was only a small part of the reason the partnership was formed.
"We've been sourcing Austube Mills' products from OneSteel Metalcentre since 1985, and the partnership has remained strong ever since. Like most small businesses starting out, our partnership came down to our connections in the market," he says.
Supported by the Austube Mills' products, Westrucks has built a solid reputation as somewhat of a one-stop-shop for logistics businesses and truck dealerships, designing and manufacturing steel trays, flat top tippers, curtain-siders, refrigerated van bodies and special custom bodies – all predominantly for Australia's rigid truck market.
According to Greg, Austube Mills' steel products are so well manufactured that they can be fitted straight into their rigid designs. "We get a delivery from OneSteel Wetherill Park once, sometimes twice a week if required," he says. "Because we build a range of bodies, the Austube Mills steel can be fitted to multiple sections of the body.
Additionally, OneSteel Metalcentre's supply availability has made the relationship strong over time, as Greg explains. "What stood out about OneSteel and Austube Mills first of all was the competitive prices in the initial discussions, but their commitment to customer service is what has kept the partnership going forward," he says. "If we place an order, OneSteel knows our specs and the amount that's required for the projects we're working on, which always leads to a next day delivery. That hasn't changed in the three decades we've been doing business with them.

The Claudy Bombing – IRA Priest Murders 9 Innocent People With Bomb In Claudy

The Claudy Bombing
The Claudy bombing occurred on 31 July 1972, when three car bombs exploded mid-morning on the Main Street of Claudy in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The attack killed nine civilians, and became known as "Bloody Monday".[1] Those who planted the bombs had attempted to send a warning before the explosions took place. The warning was delayed, however, because the telephones were out of order due to an earlier bomb attack.[2] The Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) issued an immediate denial of responsibility,[2][3] and later claimed that "an internal court of inquiry" had found that its local unit did not carry out the attack.[4]
Claudy Bomb IRA Victims
On 24 August 2010, following an eight-year investigation, the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland published a report into the bombing, which stated that the Royal Ulster Constabulary believed in the early 1970s that Father James Chesney, a local Roman Catholic priest, was the IRA's quartermaster and Director of Operations of the South Derry Brigade.[5] The report found that the possibility of his involvement in activities including the Claudy bombing was covered up by senior police officers, government ministers and the Roman Catholic hierarchy.[6]
On the 40th anniversary of the bombing, former Provisional IRA leader Martin McGuinness described the events of that day as "appalling and indefensible" and "inflicted on totally innocent people"[7]
On 31 July 1972 at about 4:00 am,[8] the British Army had begun Operation Motorman. This was an operation to regain control of the "no-go areas" (areas controlled by Irish republican paramilitaries) that had been established in Belfast[9] and Derry. The bombing of Claudy may have been a response to this operation.[2]
Shortly before 10:00 am, three car bombs were placed in the centre of the village, which was busy with shoppers at the time. Initial police investigations found that a car was seen travelling from Claudy at 10:00. It had stopped at the nearby village of Feeny, where a passenger tried to use the public telephone box, which was out-of-order. The car then travelled to Dungiven where it stopped on the Main Street. Two men got out and went into separate shops to use the telephones, which were also out of order following a bomb attack at the local telephone exchange. The men then asked the shop assistants to tell the police at Dungiven that there were three bombs in Claudy, but by this time the first bomb had already detonated.[10]
The first bomb, hidden inside a stolen Ford Cortina, exploded at 10:15 outside McElhinney's bar and store on Main Street.[10] Six people were killed by this bomb; among the dead were an eight-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy.[11] A second bomb, hidden inside a stolen Morris Mini Van parked outside the post office on Main Street,[10] was spotted by a police officer, who then began directing people away from the area towards Church Street. At 10:30, a bomb hidden inside a stolen Mini Van detonated outside the Beaufort Hotel on Church Street.[10] The bomb outside the post office exploded almost simultaneously, killing three people, including a 16-year-old boy injured in the first blast.[11]
Elizabeth McElhinney
Elizabeth was serving petrol at a pump outside McElhinney's pub on Main Street when the first car bomb exploded nearby.
The 59-year-old nurse was killed instantly.
Joseph McCloskey
Joseph, 39, was also killed instantly in the first explosion.
A father of seven, he had taken his four-year-old son into the village to buy a newspaper.
His son survived the explosion
Kathryn Eakin
Eight-year-old Kathryn was cleaning the windows of her family's shop when the first bomb went off. She died instantly.
Her mother, Merle, saw a bomber leave what would be the second bomb beside their shop, not knowing what horror it would bring to her family.
"When he stepped out of that car, he saw Kathryn standing at that window," she said.
"He should have shouted at her. But he didn't, he just walked away."
Rose McLaughlin
Rose was injured in the first explosion. The 52-year-old mother of eight died three days later on 3 August.
She owned a shop on Main Street and was hit by shrapnel while talking to a customer.
Joseph ( Patrick ) Connolly
Fifteen-year-old Patrick, who was in Rose McLaughlin's shop, was injured by flying metal from the first explosion.
He was flown to Altnagelvin Hospital in Londonderry, but died eight days later on 8 August.
Arthur Hone
Arthur was the final person to die as a result of the first bomb. The 38-year-old father of two died from his injuries on 13 August.
A keen musician who worked in Londonderry, he had stayed at home that day.
He was hit by shrapnel as he stood in Elizabeth McElhinney's shop.
David died when the third bomb outside the Beaufort Hotel exploded. He was 60-years-old.
He had helped the injured after the first explosion, but when the second device was discovered by police he, along with many others, was directed into the path of the third explosion.
James McClelland
Sixty-five-year-old James was also instantly killed as the third bomb exploded. He too had been helping the injured aftert he first explosion
William, 16, had travelled to Claudy from Donemana in County Tyrone. He was a milkman's helper and his round included the village.
He had been injured by the first explosion, but was killed instantly in the third.
RUC investigation
The Derry Brigade of the Provisional Irish Republican Army denied involvement at the time of the attack.[2] Derry politician Ivan Cooper (of the Social Democratic and Labour Party), however, claimed in 2002 that the IRA and Father James Chesney (a Catholic priest from the nearby parish of Desertmartin) were involved in the attack. Cooper stated:
Within a couple of days, a man lurked like a scared rabbit outside one of my constituency offices. He told me the IRA was behind the bomb and I had every reason to believe him. He gave no names and I asked no names. That is the way it was then. It was dangerous to know too much. But several months later, I became aware of the identities and I have absolutely no doubt that Father Jim Chesney was involved.[2]
The type and colour of car used by those who gave the bomb warning were rare in Northern Ireland at that time. In the first week of August 1972, the RUC arrested a suspect (called "Man A") who owned a similar car. He provided an alibi, however, that he had been at Chesney's home in Bellaghy at the time. Chesney and another person corroborated the man's alibi and he was released after being questioned. According to the Ombudsman's report, when Chesney was stopped at a police checkpoint in September 1972, a sniffer dog found traces of explosives in his car. The police officers involved in the original police investigation suspected the following:
that the alibi had been prepared beforehand;
that "Man A" was an IRA member and had played a key role in the bombing; and
that Chesney was the quartermaster and "director of operations" for the South Derry IRA and had also been involved in the bombing.
In October 1972, police intelligence alleged that Chesney had formed an "independent group of the IRA".
Some time after the bombing, Chesney was questioned by the then Bishop of Derry Neil Farren, and later again by Farren's successor Bishop Edward Daly. At both times, Chesney denied any involvement. Chesney served in the parish of Cullion from July 1972 until November 1972. He was then hospitalised and spent a period of recovery in County Donegal. In December 1973, he was transferred to the parish of Convoy in County Donegal. Although he often crossed the border into Northern Ireland, he was never arrested and never faced a police interview.

PSNI investigation
No person was arrested for the bombings at the time, but following calls for a new inquiry, a fresh investigation was started by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) in 2002. As part of the investigation, the police uncovered documents showing that the then Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Willie Whitelaw discussed Chesney's involvement with Cardinal William Conway. The actions of two other Catholic priests, Patrick Fell and John Burns, were also examined.[13]
On 30 November 2005, the PSNI detained four people in connection with the bombing.[14] They were, however, released without charge the next day and denied involvement.[15] Among those arrested was the then Sinn Féin MLA Francie Brolly,[16] who subsequently secured an out-of-court settlement in a legal action against the police.
Police Ombudsman report
On 24 August 2010, the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland published a report into the bombing which concluded that the British government and the Roman Catholic Church had conspired to cover up Chesney's alleged involvement.[17] The report stated:
The arrest of a priest in connection with such an emotive atrocity at a time when sectarian killings in Northern Ireland were out of control and the province stood on the brink of civil war was feared, by senior politicians, as likely to destabilise the security situation even further. A deal was therefore arranged behind closed doors to remove Fr Chesney from the province without provoking sectarian fury.[17]
According to the report by Al Hutchinson, the Police Ombudsman,
The RUC's decision to ask the government to resolve the matter with the Church and then accept the outcome, was wrong. The decision failed those who were murdered, injured and bereaved in the bombing. The police officers who were working on the investigation were also undermined. I accept that 1972 was one of the worst years of the Troubles and that the arrest of a priest might well have aggravated the security situation. Equally, I consider that the police failure to investigate someone they suspected of involvement in acts of terrorism could, in itself, have had serious consequences.[18]
The report found the following:
Detectives believed Father Chesney was the IRA's director of operations in southern County Londonderry and was a prime suspect in the Claudy attack and other paramilitary incidents.[18]
A detective's request to arrest Chesney was refused by an Assistant Chief Constable of RUC Special Branch who instead said that "matters are in hand".[18]
The same senior officer wrote to the government about what action could be taken to "render harmless a dangerous priest" and asked if the matter could be raised with the Church's hierarchy.[18]
In December 1972, William Whitelaw met the head of the Catholic Church in Ireland, Cardinal William Conway, to discuss the issue. According to a Northern Ireland Office official, "the Cardinal said he knew the priest was 'a very bad man' and would see what could be done". The church leader mentioned "the possibility of transferring him to Donegal". In response to this memo, RUC Chief Constable Sir Graham Shillington noted: "I would prefer transfer to Tipperary."[18]
An entry in Cardinal Conway's diary on 4 December 1972 confirmed that a meeting with Whitelaw had taken place and stated that there had been "a rather disturbing tete-a-tete at the end about C".[18]
In another diary entry two months later, the Cardinal noted that he had discussed the issue with Father Chesney's superior and that the superior "had given him orders to stay where he was, on sick leave, until further notice".[18]
Whitelaw died in 1999, Cardinal Conway in 1977, Sir Graham in 2001 and Father Chesney (aged 46) in 1980.[18]
Claudy bombing memorial statue by Elizabeth McLaughlin
A memorial to those killed and injured by the bombing was erected on Claudy's Main Street in 2000, consisting of a bronze figure of a kneeling girl, created by sculptor Elizabeth McLaughlin, mounted on a stone plinth. A number of plaques commemorating the victims are affixed to the wall enclosing the statue.[19] The statue was damaged on 20 October 2006 when vandals knocked it from the plinth.[20

The Settle to Carlisle railway line in Cumbria, which suffered a 500,000t landslip last December, is on schedule to re-open on 31 March 2017.
Network Rail said that contractors installing the concrete and steel structure that will sit beneath the railway are now on site with the manufacture of the remaining parts of the structure nearing completion.
The £23M engineering construction will sit below the railway to stabilise a section of the gorge bank above the River Eden, which gave way in February this year.
"The viaduct-like structure we're building will safeguard this section of railway for generations to come. If the land gives way again, the railway will not," said Network Rail project manager Rhiannon Price.
Northern regional director Paul Barnfield added: "The work carried out on the Settle to Carlisle line is nothing short of remarkable.
"We are delighted that, in the near future, we will once again be able to provide a full rail service to our customers travelling between Yorkshire and Cumbria on this iconic line.
When the railway is reopened, Network Rail said that it planned to carry out earthworks improvements to the foot of the embankment below the line and above the River Eden. This will include drainage ditches and pipework, rock armour to guard against erosion when flows are high, and replanting trees over the entirety of the affected area.
Network Rail said that great care was being taken to ensure the ecology at the site was protected, including badger setts and spawning salmon. Natural England will advise on the tree replanting.

Otis Street in Northborough closed while NStar repairs gas line
Brad Petrishen/Daily News staff
A section of Otis Street is closed this afternoon while NStar makes repairs to a gas line ruptured by a Walmart contractor this morning.
Fire Capt. Rob Theve said the department received a report at about 8:15 a.m. that a contractor for the company had struck a 4-inch high-pressure gas main while digging a sewer trench on Otis Street.
Construction vehicles or anything else that could ignite were moved out of the area, he said, while the department waited for NStar to come and shut off the gas to allow for repairs.
Customers at nearby Berberian Farm were evacuated, he said, but workers were allowed to stay.
Theve said meters placed in the area to monitor the vapors escaping from the gas line showed that the gas was mostly dispersing naturally straight up into the air.
"The wind wasn't blowing in any one direction," he said, so the fumes were limited.
Firefighters left the area at about 11 a.m., he said, however the road leading from Rte. 9 to about 104 Otis St. will likely be closed for a few more hours while NStar works to repair the pipe.
Walmart is extending the town's sewer line to its 200 Otis St. location as part of its expansion into a Supercenter. Construction on Otis Street is expected to last until September.

It is important for small businesses to differentiate themselves from their competitors. A large part of your identity is lived out on the web and you need to be able to tell that story effectively in your marketing efforts. You are unique and original and a consistent fresh content blog, attached to your website and distributed through social media channels can be one of the most powerful marketing tools you use.
Hillary Byers, the Digital Marketing and Sales Manager for TrustWorkz, will be speaking on the power of the blog within a business.


After finishing second in the inaugural BIG EAST Esports Invitational last spring, the DePaul League of Legends team is back in action this winter and spring against fellow BIG EAST foes in an extended conference season.
Competition got underway Jan. 20 and will run through March 17. Through two weeks, DePaul is a perfect 6-0 with victories over Seton Hall, Marquette and Providence. The Blue Demons next play at approximately 5:30 p.m. Feb. 17 against St. John's. Fans can watch all the action on Twitch. More information is available online through the BIG EAST website.
"What's really helped us start 6-0 is the teamwork and effort our guys are putting into playing," says sophomore Brandon Son, the DePaul League of Legends team manager. "They are always practicing together, finding new strategies and learning new moves. They've really bonded as a team and it's paid dividends so far.
"We are all so excited to be representing DePaul by playing a game we all love. It's a dream come true," adds Son.
Competing for the Blue Demons are freshman Kamil Gebis, junior Hank Ha, junior Sam Ishaq, junior Conor Miller, freshman Lee Te and junior Nate Vicencio.
League of Legends is a multiplayer online battle arena game with five players per team. Matches are usually 30 to 45 minutes each, with one team needing to win two of three matches to claim victory.
In December, DePaul's Rocket League team finished third in the BIG EAST Championship. The Blue Demons finished the regular season in first place with an 11-0 record, but fell to eventual champion Butler in the semifinals to wrap up the year at 11-1.
Competing for the Blue Demons were juniors Linas Savickas and Donald Fairweather and freshman Emilio Pilapil. Alternates included junior Erik Wolf and sophomore Alex Rodriguez.
Rocket League games, which end when one team has won three of five matches, can last anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes and combine soccer with the physics of driving flying cars in a multiplayer game with three players per team.
Esports, or competitive video gaming, has exploded in the last five years, resulting in an industry that's heading towards the billion-dollar mark and sees an estimated 165 million people around the world watching at least once a month according to a Newzoo global Esports market report.
Around the country, more than 100 universities field varsity teams, with DePaul's Loop neighbor, Robert Morris University Illinois, fielding the first varsity program in the country in 2014.

Q: Can the following integral be be simplified? $\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-|x_1 - x_0|^{2\beta}}e^{-|x_2 - x_1|^{2\beta}}dx_1 $ for $0 < \beta \leq 1$ $x_0, x_1, x_2 \in\mathbb{R}$
I have tried so many things but I can't seem to be able to work it out. I however managed to calculate the following integral ($B>0$):
\begin{align}
\begin{split}
    \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} e^{-B|x|^{2\beta}} dx &= 2 \int_{0}^{+\infty} e^{-Bx^{2\beta}} dx \\
    &= 2B^{-\frac{1}{2\beta}} \int_{0}^{+\infty}e^{-x^{2\beta}}\\
    &= \frac{B^{-\frac{1}{2\beta}}}{\beta} \int_{0}^{+\infty} dx x^{\frac{1}{2\beta} - 1}e^{-x}\\
    &= \frac{B^{-\frac{1}{2\beta}}}{\beta} \Gamma(\frac{1}{2\beta})
\end{split}
\end{align}
I also tried plugging this into wolfram alpha or symbolab but they don't give any answers (but they also didn't for the above integral which I managed to solve in terms of a gamma function).
Thanks in advance.

La A-356 es una carretera autonómica andaluza que une las poblaciones de Casabermeja y Torre del Mar, ambas en la provincia de Málaga. Transcurre en su totalidad por suelo de dicha provincia. Además muchas personas provenientes de las provincias de Córdoba y Sevilla la usan de atajo para llegar antes a pueblos costeros como Torre del Mar, Torrox, Nerja o Almuñécar sin tener que soportar los atascos de la A-45 y la A-7 a la entrada de Málaga.
