As one of the most respected coaches in the game, Rick Macci would like to help Coco Gauff work on the part of her game that is so often discussed, her forehand.
Coco Gauff's forehand seems to be a stroke that has been discussed a thousand times already, but it's yet to be fully fixed. Speaking during the grass-court part of the season, the young American said that working with Macci is one of the options , and the Uspta Florida Hall of Fame coach talked exclusively to Tennis-Infinity.com about possibly working with Gauff.
Only recently, the 19-year-old added Pere Riba to her coaching team , and in Washington, Brad Gilbert has been working with her too . According to her own words, Gauff is in a rebuilding period , and Rick Macci may help her with rebuilding the most vulnerable part of her game.

If there’s only three books of something, and you read the first two and enjoy them, you’re gonna come back and hit the third one. It’s just one of those things.
I may not have anything new to say about Winging It , the third book collecting Brian Gordon’s online comic strip Fowl Language, since I’ve already written about Welcome to Parenting and The Struggle Is Real since March.
Gordon’s been doing this strip about a decade, and it’s entirely about his family life: he draws a family of ducks who match, as far as the reader can tell, his actual family, although the ducks have (very sporadically) had their own names, which don’t match Gordon’s family’s names. By the point of the strips in this 2019 book, the two kids were tweens: the obnoxious, demanding, argumentative years.

Yahoo is looking to challenge Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu with a wave of half-hour comedies. At Digital Content Newfronts, it revealed the first two of these TV-quality series, including one from Freaks and Geeks creator and Bridesmaids director Paul Feig. Feig will step behind the camera for Other Space, a sci-fi series "about a group of rookie space explorers who get trapped in an alternate universe." It will be co-run by producer Owen Ellickson (who worked with Feig on The Office) and will be the first TV series created by Feig since cult favorite Freaks and Geeks was cancelled 14 years ago. If previous reports are to believed, the show's budget will run in the millions. The other TV-length original unveiled at Newfronts is Sin City Saints, a sports comedy from Arli$$, All That, and Smallville executive producer Michael Tollin. Tollin will team up with Chris Case and Brian Gordon to...

For some years now Tom Prasek and I have commiserated about the need for a serious networking solution and overview organization about (for lack of a better term) 'the film festival world'.
I think Ffa might be on to something and I am really glad to lend support. I urge filmmakers, market participants and festival folks and press to pay close attention.

When: 27th/28th September 2012
As each industry event produced by the Film Festival Academy is specifically curated in light of the requirements of the hosting festival or organisation, the first theme of our event in New York is New York film programming, looking at all the very many different institutions – festivals, cinemas, museums, galleries – involved in programming specifically for New York audiences.
The second theme focuses on film festival form, and here again we're looking to kick-start a debate that will run on longer via the Film Festival Academy website and related blogs etc.

14:45–15:00 Coffee
15:15–16:45 Programming for Niche Audiences
