Upton Ward in 1907
This is the third in our three-part series looking at the Forest Gate area just over a century ago, through the eyes of social researchers, Howard and Wilson, who set out to describe conditions in an outer London area, in their highly-acclaimed West Ham - a study in industrial problems. The book looks at the whole of the borough and painted pen portraits of each of the local authority's electoral wards, in 1907.
Below is their description of Upton Ward (see map for the extent of the boundaries). Details of their portraits of Forest Gate and Park wards can be found here and here.
In 1901, Upton Ward had a population of 19,000 - the time of the census just before the authors conducted their survey.
Howarth and Wilson describe the ward, thus:
The two main roads in the Upton Ward are the Romford Road, running from west to east and Upton Lane, from north to south. In the Romford Road are large houses with gardens, many of them old, similar to those mentioned in the Broadway and Park Wards. Many old houses with gardens, fields, and orchards, were formerly to be found in Upton Lane, and one or two still remain, though much of the land round them has been used for building.
Their place has been taken by houses let at £25 to £50 a year. The southern part of this road faces West Ham Park, and in the northern end are good class shops similar to those in Woodgrange Road, which lies to the north of the ward across the Romford Road.
Most of the roads are broad and straight, and in addition to the part of West Ham Park, which lies within the ward there is a football ground at the Spotted Dog Inn, and a large open space round a convent in St George's Road.

Practically the whole population of the ward belongs to the middle-class, and a large proportion has some unearned income. The few artisans and labourers are for the most part in constant work, and live chiefly in four-, five- or six-roomed houses, the rents of which range from 7s 6d to 10s 6d a week. Such houses are to be found in various parts, and chiefly in Neville, Upton Park, Belton, Stukeley and Wellesley Roads, which however, contain some businessmen and a considerable proportion of clerks.

but surprisingly, along with the rest of the
Woodgrange estate, not mentioned
in Howarth and Wilson's book
Chestnut Road contains self-contained flats with separate doors, two rooms, kitchen, and wash-house; these are let at 7s. The houses at Sylvan Road, one of the oldest in the ward, are rented at 8s and 8s 6d, and contain four rooms and a wash-house; while at the roads to the north-east of the ward the accommodation is five rooms and a wash-house, and the rents vary according to the designs of the fronts. Where there are no bay windows the rent is 9s; other rents are 9s 6d and 10s; and six rooms with a wash-house can be had for 10s 6d and 11s.
In one of these roads houses of a good class have been put up, where five rooms, a bath, and a portable copper in a small wash-house are to be had for 11s 6d. These let well and are occupied by foremen and men in business in the City. Ferndale, Oakdale and Elmhurst Roads, and St George's Square contain six roomed houses at 10s or 11s a week, with concrete fronts. The tenants are mostly artisans or shop assistants, a few only go to business in the City.
The same is true of Beauchamp Road, where half the houses are let at 6s 6d; the rent for the whole house being 12s or 12s 6d. Even in Khedive Road some houses produce 6s 6d per half-house, while others let at £30 a year, but in general the tenants are well-to-do people.
Between this road and Upton Lane is an estate of a superior character, comprising Lancaster, Kingsley, and neighbouring roads, in which eight-roomed houses are let at 13s a week; and a similar neighbourhood, lying north of this, where seven rooms and offices are rented for 14s a week of 33 a calendar month. These houses are seldom unoccupied if they are in good repair. An old estate with larger gardens comprises Palmerstone, Westbury and Victoria Roads.

Westbury Road was formed before 1860, but the first houses were built in 1861-62. The remainder of the state was developed in 1865. Here the rents vary between 11a a week to £30 per year, and the tenants are well-off middle class people. In Glenparke Road, which is close by, rents vary from 11s to 14s a week.
As we stated in our previous articles in this series (see here for Forest Gate and Park wards), the above description focuses mainly on male occupations, elsewhere in their book, however, Howarth and Wilson consider female employment, which would appear to have predominantly in the clothing industry.
They have a few observations that relate to the area,, for example:
Many women work to meet some definite part of the family expenditure, such as children's clothes or boots and a considerable number of girls in Forest Gate and Upton Park make underclothing in order to pay for their dress.
Looking as specific aspects of the rag trade, they have the following to report:
About 75 per cent of the workers employed in blouse-making live in the better parts of Plaistow, West Ham and Stratford, and in certain streets in Forest Gate and Upton Park where the rent is often 12s to 14s a week. It is noticeable that those who live in Forest Gate and Upton Park, a considerable number live with their parents, while others have several brothers or sisters living with them, who are occupied in various ways, often as clerks.

And finally on costume making, about half those employed in the trade were single women:
The majority were found in the better class streets in Stratford, Forest Gate and Upton. One or two rented their houses by the month; but on the other hand, one woman was living in a single room. The work is mostly of a good class, and is only entrusted to the superior type of home worker. All the workers in this group appeared to own their own machines. In some cases materials and models are sent by West End firms and the work is largely done by hand. The costumiers sometimes do private work, and are practically private dressmakers, who eke out their means by taking private work from shops.

Por Hawaii. Legislature. House
the Bill be referred to the Select Joint Committee on Taxation. Mr. Mossman moved to adopt the Majority Report. Seconded by Mr. Mahoe. Mr. Robertson moved the adoption of the Minority Report. On being put to a vote, the Report of the Majority was adopted.
The Sergeant-at-Arms announced a communication from the Honorable Senate.
Mr. Dickey rose to a point of order and claimed that as the Majority Report did not contain the specific recommendation that the Bill do pass, that the adoption of the report had not passed the Bill on its second reading. The Vice Speaker ruled that while the report of the Committee was not technically in proper form, the intent of the recommendation was that the Bill do pass. Mr. Dickey appealed from the decision of the Vice Speaker, and the House sustained the Vice Speaker's ruling. Whereupon the Vice Speaker declared that the Bill had passed its second reading upon the adoption of the Report of the Committee by the vote of the House.
S. B. No. 28, by Mr. Crabbe, entitled "An Act to prohibit the unlawful wearing of the badge of the Grand Army of the Republic." Copies not having been supplied to the inembers, consideration was temporarily postponed. Later, on motion of Mr. Dickey, seconded by Mr. Mossman, the Bill passed its second reading and was ordered typewritten and made the order of the day for March 27th.

Territory of Hawaii,
Office of the Secretary,
Honolulu, H. I., March 26th, 1901. Sir: Section 69 of an Act to provide a Government for the Territory of Hawaii, approved the 30th day of April, A. D. 1900, provides among other duties of the Secretary of the Territory that "he shall within thirty days after the end of each session of the Legislature transmit to the President, the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States one copy each of the laws and journals of such session."
In order that I may comply with this section of the law, I respectfully request that the Journal of the House of Representatives from the beginning of the present session to the present date, duly certified by the Speaker and the Clerk, be transmitted to me as soon as possible and that thereafter the Journal of each day's session, duly certified, be filed in my office as soon as the official copy can be prepared; and also that sufficient money be placed at my disposal for making the necessary copies of the same. I have the honor to be, sir,
Your obedient servant,
HENRY E. COOPER,
Secretary of the Territory. The Hon. J. A. Akina,
Speaker of the House of Representatives. On motion of Mr. Emmeluth, consideration of the communication was postponed and placed on the order of the day for March 27th.
The following communication from the Attorney General was read:
Office of the Attorney General,
Honolulu, H. I., March 26th, 1901.
Hon. J. A. Akina,
Speaker, House of Representatives,
Capitol Building: Dear Sir: I beg to acknowledge receipt of a copy of House Resolution No. 59, passed yesterday, which is as follows:
"Resolred, that the Attorney General of the Territory of Hawaii be requested to furnish this House with all correspondence between the following persons: A. M. Brown, High Sheriff, and L. A. Andrews, Sheriff of Hawaii; A. M. Brown and H. S. Overend; L. A. Andrews and H. S. Overend; L. A. Andrews and R. A. Lyman, from August 1st, 1900, and February 1st, 1901."
In reply, I have to state that no correspondence between the officials named is in my possession.
I further beg to state that no correspondence between them in regard to their personal affairs, if any such there is, can be lawfully demanded, either by the head of the Department of which they are members, or by the Legislature, or by any other authority in this Territory or in the United States, unless such correspondence may become material in a judicial inquiry.
I beg further to state that correspondence between the High Sheriff and the Sheriffs and Deputy Sheriffs largely relates to offenses, the perpetrators whereof may not yet have been brought
to justice, and that, in many cases, to make public such correspondence would, in a measure, defeat the chief object for which the Attorney General's Department is established--the protection of society from criminals. I am, sir,

Q: Dirac Delta function I know that $\int_{-\epsilon}^\infty f(x)\delta(x)dx=f(0)$ but what about $\int_0^\infty f(x)\delta(x)dx$? I suppose we have to do this by definition since the lower limit is bang on $0$?

A: You are something of a victim of ambiguity in notation.  The definition of the integral
$$
\int_A f \; da
$$
is taken over the open or closed (or neither) object $A$.  As Carl M notes, we have that
$$
\int_{\{0\}} f(x) \delta(x) \; dx = f(0)
$$
by construction of the delta functional, while
$$
\int_{(0,\infty)} f(x) \delta(x) \; dx = \int_{(-\infty,0)} f(x) \delta(x) \; dx = 0.
$$
More generally,
$$
\int_A f(x) \delta(x) \; dx = \begin{cases}f(0)\qquad&0 \in A\\0\qquad&\text{otherwise.}\end{cases}
$$
When someone writes
$$
\int_0^\infty g(x) \; dx
$$
they are not being clear what the domain of integration really is.

A: The dirac delta function is a strange beast. The entire notation "$\delta(x)dx$" is a little bit of a lie, because there is not actually a function that has the properties that the $\delta$ function is axiomatized to have, which are:

*

*$\delta(x) = 0$ when $x \not = 0$

*$\int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta(x)\, dx= 1$

Using these, and the usual properties of the integral, it is not hard to prove that $\int_0^\infty f(x)\delta(x)\,dx = f(0)$ for every function $f$. The main point is that
$$\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x)\delta(x)\,dx = \int_{(-\infty,0)} f(x)\delta(x)\,dx + \int_{[0,\infty)}f(x)\delta(x)\,dx = 0 + \int_0^\infty f(x)\delta(x)\,dx$$
and
$$\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x)\delta(x)\,dx = \int_{-\infty}^\infty f(0)\delta(x)\,dx = f(0)\int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta(x)\,dx = f(0)$$
Of course you can show by similar methods that $\int_0^0 f(x)\delta(x)\,dx= f(0)$, although this integral should always be 0. This is one way to see that no $\delta$ with the two properties listed above really exists as a function.
A way to make sense of this is to use measure-theoretic techniques and Lebesgue integration.  We can treat the $\delta$ function as a measure; it puts 1 unit of "mass" at the origin and no mass anywhere else. If we call that measure $\phi$ and we integrate a function $f$ with respect to that measure, we really do get $\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x) \,d\phi = \int_0^0 f(x)\,d\phi = f(0)$. The problem is that this measure does not have a density function (a Radon-Nikodym derivative) with respect to Lebesgue measure, and so we cannot replace the $d\phi$ with anything of the form $\delta(x)dx$ where $dx$ indicates Lebesgue measure.
In practice, people use the notation $\delta(x)dx$ as a purely formal device for calculations. That works out OK as long as only sound methods used for manipulating integrals involving $\delta(x)$. In introductory books, the entire issue is usually glossed over, with just a sentence of two saying "this is formally wrong but it works as long as you do it in the way shown here".

Well, this is my first article for this publication, and I'm very excited. So, let's start things off right, by detailing one of my very favorite systems: the Atari 7800.
First, let's look at a little history of the system, for all of you who are saying, "7800, whaaa?". The 7800 was made in 1984, according to what gamers wanted at the time, which was arcade quality graphics, backwards compatibility with the 2600, and joysticks better than the 5200's. The 7800 would've crushed every other system in its path, but one thing held it back from gaming glory: the infamous video game crash of 1984 [screams in the background]. Because of this, the 7800 was put on hold.
Well, let's jump ahead to 1985. The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) was released [in the US], and was a mega hit. Games like Super Mario Bros. brought gaming back, and soon video games were returning to homes. Atari, seeing the success of the NES, decided to release the 7800. This would be a good thing, you'd think. But alas, Atari had been taken over by quite possibly one of history's stupidest people: Jack Tramiel. Ol' Jacky was more interested in the home computer division of the company, and so the 7800 got little attention. Marketing was dismal, and the games were rehashes of old arcade games. At this time, gamers wanted newer games, another reason the NES was so successful. Long story short, the 7800 chugged along in third place in the console wars (the Sega Master System held second), and finally gave up in the early '90s.
The system by all means should have been a winner but wasn't. As previously stated, the games were the same thing everyone had on their 2600s, 5200s, Colecovisions... The only distinguishing characteristic was that the graphics were now darn near perfect, but that certainly wasn't enough. Although the system's library consisted of older games, there were a few goodies in the bunch. My favorite example is Double Dragon, the arcade classic that at the time was sweeping the nation. The NES, SMS, and every home computer had a port (even the 2600 got one, but that's another story), so why shouldn't the 7800? The port is well done, though it doesn't look quite as good as the NES or SMS releases. Still, for those that had the system, I'm betting this was one of those "Must-have" games. There were also other arcade hits, such as Xenophobe, and Rampage, two other "Must-haves", if for nothing else than the fact they are somewhat newer and fresh on the system.
So you see, the 7800 could've and should've excelled in the gaming market, but poor distribution, tired games, and the late arrival of the system assured its fate. It's a shame, because it is quite fun, and a definite collector's piece. Thankfully, it's now getting some attention in the classic gamers market. Perhaps the 7800 will get the respect it has long been denied.


Something that has been plaguing me for a while is: How should an electronic worksheet look?
When I started with eLearning my primary focus was substituting what I already had. Electronic worksheets meant a pdf of an existing worksheet. But as I was starting to get the hang of this eLearning thing I wanted to do more than substitute. And then they Hyperdoc Handbook came across my path. At first, I did not want to buy it, after all I know how Google Apps work. But then I got curious and decide to spend the money and believe me it was money well spend.
The Hyperdoc Handbook is not a thick book, only 122 pages, but it is crammed with great ideas and examples, and it completely changed the way I look at designing activities. For the first time, it feels like I understand the difference between working on paper and working digitally.
The fist few chapters deal with the theory of eLearning, and although I am familiar with most of it, it was good to read through it again. But it is the second part of the book that I found the most valuable. In describing how to create your own Hyperdoc they authors share so many of their ideas and examples. I just wanted to start creating new activities.
If I can give one piece of criticism, it is that nowhere in the book is a clear description of what they consider a Hyperdoc to be. Given that Hyperdocs are a very fluid term and each teachers Hyperdoc will look different, but I was half way through the book before I started to form a picture in my mind of what we are busy with.
As you would expect The Hyperdoc Handbook was designed to be read as an ebook, with lots of interactive links that you can just click on. However, I decided to buy a hardcopy, mainly so that I can share it with my colleagues and use it as a reference. I was pleasantly surprised at how user-friendly even the hardcopy book was. I downloaded a QR reader on my phone, and whenever they were referring to an example, I quickly scanned the code and voila I have it on my phone.
If you are in any way involved with designing teaching activities for learners with personal devices, I would suggest you get on the internet now and order your copy.

Justin Bieber's New Song is Anything but "Yummy"
Jen Vincent, Staff Writer|March 23, 2020
Justin Bieber released a new single titled "Yummy." He and his marketing team are desperately trying to get it to number one, but they just can't. Source: medium.com
Justin Bieber has made a recent comeback into the spotlight of fame. The 26-year-old singer released a new single titled "Yummy," and to no surprise, people didn't like it. It took a team of six writers to compose Bieber's song and yet somehow they made it worse than "Baby," his first hit single. Bieber and his marketing team have been desperately trying to get the song to number one, but it just isn't working.
Embarrassing enough, "Yummy" was written about Bieber's wife, Hailey Baldwin. When he isn't repeating the word "yummy" 12 dozen times, Bieber compliments his wife with, "Bonafide stallion. Ain't in no stable, no, you stay on the run." He literally compares his wife, a model, to a male horse and then goes straight back into how he thinks she is "yummy." This just proves that Bieber hasn't matured since his time away from the spotlight. To be completely honest, he really shouldn't even be back in the first place. He had his hit songs, awards, movies, and moment of fame, so why come back? His net worth is $285 million, so it's not like he needs the money.
Freshman Claudia Dobson and Anslee Merritt both disliked Bieber's new single "Yummy" as well. "It's something you would hear in Forever 12, but not something I would listen to on my own. I like Justin Bieber, he's made some popular songs but I don't think he needs a comeback. He'll try to anyway though," Dobson expressed. Merritt agreed with this and stated, "I liked the old Justin Bieber, but now I don't really know. I mean he's had some good songs but I feel like he is really starting to go downhill."
The song is just half of the story. Bieber also posted random pictures of babies on his Instagram with the caption "#yummy." Dobson had an opinion on this too saying, "I didn't really understand the baby pictures. I thought it was kinda weird and it rubbed a lot of people the wrong way on the internet. And I think this shows Justin Bieber is desperate to be famous again. He promotes so much just for one song because it's not getting enough views or downloads."
Justin Bieber, to put it bluntly, will never be the mature pop star he wants to be. He was brought into fame at too young of an age, and it clearly has gone to his head.

Rated 5 out of 5 by crystalrose86 from Only toothpaste without mint/menthol/cinammmon. This is the only natural/non-toxic toothpaste I've found that doesn't contain added mint/menthol, peppermint, cinnamon, or other lip/skin irritating ingredients that have the potential to dry them out. The fennel flavor is similar to licorice. Cleans teeth effectively and keeps them white.
Rated 5 out of 5 by longtimecustomer from I love this product I have been using the Natural Tea Tree Oil toothpaste for many years now. Fennel is my favorite although I have tried others. I typically try to order several tubes in one order and they last me several months before reordering. This toothpaste does not have the minty cover up and leaves your teeth and mouth feeling fresh and clean.
Rated 5 out of 5 by LaurenH from Best Toothpaste Ever I snagged this beauty off the shelf of a local grocery store, and holy amazing! I had no idea they did toothpaste! Don't be scared by the "fennel", it's not at all over powering and leave your teeth and mouth, feeling refreshed with a hint. The Tea Tree Oil aspect is even more amazing, never mind that it's fluoride free!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cari from Another favorite This is another fav for me. Love the ingredients and the fennel taste. Cleans my teeth very well.
Place a pea size amount on your toothbrush. Softly brush teeth for one minute. Spit out toothpaste and then rinse with water.

Sun Valley High School provides a safe and supportive environment for accelerated education. Through personalized instruction, we incorporate our high academic standards with essential life skills. By meeting individual and academic needs, through stellar core curriculum and vocational programs, Sun Valley prepares students to become productive citizens.
Arizona State Board of Charter School Mission Statement
The mission of Sun Valley High School is to help all students develop basic skills, understanding and attitudes necessary to become productive citizens. We accomplish this through an integrated approach using curriculum aligned to the Arizona State Standards and relevant instruction. The school serves young people for whom traditional schools have not been effective and predictably will not be in the future. As such, essentially all students meet one or more of Arizona's definitions for an alternative school. That is, they have behavioral issues, have dropped out or are likely to drop out, are pregnant or parenting, have a history of academic failure or have been adjudicated. It is the specific mission of the school to serve such students.
SVHS's core supporting business principles:
To deliver premiere service at every customer interaction
No learning can occur without a quality relationship or in the absence of a trusting, nurturing, safe environment.
The school must recruit, retain, and mentor high quality educators who have a genuine understanding of, and compassion for, the life challenges that students carry into their education careers.
The one-size-fits-all approach to traditional education has failed many students. Kids deserve a fresh start with the flexible programmatic options and support services necessary to nurture the whole child
Services shouldn't stop outside of the classroom or upon graduation, and all students must have a written plan for future college and/or career success.
High expectations produce success in our students and ourselves, and excellence should be rewarded and celebrated.
The question: 'What is best for our kids?' should drive every decision we make.
A therapeutic, individualized approach to discipline, entrenched in unconditional positive regard, that focuses on academic opportunity, is best.
Information for Parents:
If your family lives in any of the following situations:
In a shelter, motel, vehicle, or campround
In an abandoned building, trailer or other inadequate accommodations
Doubled up with friends or relatives because you can't afford housing
Then your children have the right to:
Go to school, no matter where you live or how long you have lived there. They must be given access to the same public education, including preschool education, provided to other children.
Continue in the school they attended before you became homeless or the school they last attended, if that is your choice and is feasible. If a school sends your child to a school other than the one you request, the school must provide you with a written explanation and offer you the right to appeal the decision.
Receive transportation to the school they attended before your family became homeless or the school they last attended,if you or a guardian request such transportation.
Attend a school and participate in school programs with children who are not homeless. Children cannot be separated from the regular school program because they are homeless.
Enroll in school without giving a permanent address. Schools cannot require proof of residency that might prevent or delay school enrollment.
Enroll and attend classes while the school arranges for the transfer of school and immunization records or any other documents required for enrollment.
Enroll and attend classes in the school of your choice even while the school and you seek to resolve a dispute over enrolling your children.
Receive the same special programs and services, if needed, as provided to all other children served in these programs.
Receive transportation to school and to school programs.

I absolutely love this this luxury armchair. Its very well made. I got it in black and the color is beautiful. I highly recommend this luxury armchair. Buy this luxury armchair! You won't regret it!
Beautiful product! Bigger then I expected and just gorgeous! Bright and beautiful! This was just a great present! Good find. This is the best thing I've ever worn! I bought it during the anniversary sale and plan on buying another one. I've worn it every day since it arrived. Everyone should own one! Shipping was FAST as well. It came in 2 days with regular shipping.
The minute you enter an online luxury armchair store, you can find what you want a lot faster than you can going from department to department in a big mall store. I am glad I bought this luxury armchair. I'm looking forward to wearing it to work and social occasions. And of course, I love the luxury armchair! A well designed feature that doesn't add bulk. 2 words : perfect luxury armchair.
I was so excited to get these after reading the reviews, it is so hard to find great product online and I don't have time to go shopping. I tried them on right away and thought the fit was amazing. I got the luxury armchair and it is so chic! I love the luxury armchair details and the quality is pretty good as well. I also like the size in general, I like how the color is versatile enough to wear for all the seasons. I especially love it. Definitely would recommend!


The Dutch Championships is coming up and gearing up to be a blast.
It has been eleven years since the first national championship, so there is a long history of beatbox in the Netherlands. This, the event will be hosted by the 2013 Champ, Hurrakane Tha Soundztorm.
Other past winners have included Jonathan (2005), Nabil (2006), Sniggy (2007), Ronaldo (2008), Ibarra (2010), Monkie (2011), and B-Art (2014, Current).
And though the past few years have been dominated by B-Art, what will this year bring? Will someone knock the champ since 2014 off his throne? Who are the newcomers that will make a splash this year? You will have to go to find out!

Q: Storing user click information on MongoDB using NodeJS I have a general question.
My MERN application contains certain user related links that are shown to the general public through the user's profile.
My goal is to track the number of clicks on each link, the time stamps of when those links were clicked,and what country/city those clicks came from.
This information is used to give the statistics of the above mentioned clicks to the user of my application.
Currently, I am using an array of objects in My MongoDB Schema in which I append an object containing the click information as follows:
const ClickDetails = new mongoose.Schema({
    country: { type: String, default: "" },
    city: { type: String, default: "" },
    date: { type: Date, default: ""},
    ip_address: { type: String, default: "" },
    device: { type: String, default: "" }
})

Here is a sample social media link schema where I want store my click information of the user's social media links using the above schema:
social_link_list: [{
        link: { type: String, default: "" },
        isActive: { type: Boolean, default: false },
        click_details: [ClickDetails] // As a user clicks on the link in profile, the click data is pushed to this array
    }]

As I will filter dates according to the user's requirement for analysis, is there a better way to store my data (or a better logic to track link clicks in general)?


For several shots we needed a Dutch head that could roll around the nodal point of the lens. I have done this before with one Ronford 7 fluid head mounted transversely on top of another. Once again grip Glynn Harrison came to the rescue with this innovative and simple interpretation of the above idea. It took a little bit of carpentry and metal working skill but Glynn fashioned a head that with a little more stripping down of the camera, could have rolled 360 degrees.
This was a great shot. The camera had to move through the louvres of a ceiling light panel and then retreat back out again. Grip Glynn Harrison mounted a GF8 arm on the dolly with a lightweight Aurora remote head on the end. The movement needed to be so delicate because the lens could not touch the sides of the light fitting.
In periscope mode for a shot in a lift where the camera needed to be further back but the back wall did not fly.
Made good use of the Innovision Probe on this show. It's not the Optex Excellence. The 10mm lens is unusable, the distance from lens support to front element is shorter, it's slower (more on that later) and it is not as sharp. Still an amazing optic and it really delivers if you know how to work around its limitations. It usually has a maximum aperture of T5.6 but for the scene below we were mistakenly sent the T16 version. For a dusky campfire scene I had to light the set up like Piccadilly Circus. Thank goodness the scene needed to look underexposed - because it was!
Big Tungsten, smoke, no fill.
I thought I had seen everything but this one knocked me for six. I asked gaffer supreme Barry Conroy if he could track the actors with a little Aladdin for the eyes. He told me to hang on a minute because he had something better. Voila! Easirig + Flowcine Serene + Arri Skypanel S30 + Softbox. Well done Barry!
Plenty of use out of the Aladdin A-Lite and Aladdin Eye-Lite on this show. Wedged into a car headrest, taped to a mannequin, standing behind a teacup, stuck to a sunroof and on a camera in the capable hands of operator Matt Fisher.
Incredibly versatile Aladdin A-Lite and Aladdin Eye-Lite. Both are battery powered, bi-colour and dimmable. USB charging so can be run off a USB charging pack when they run out of power.
LiteTile+ Plus 8. Excellent large soft source.
Hit TV series 'Killing Eve' is now transmitting on BBC1. All episodes available on BBC iPlayer. Congratulations to director Jon East, producer Colin Wratten, writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge, all cast and crew and everybody at Sid Gentle Films.
Good bye to Strike Back, a fantastic crew and all the natural wonders Malaysia had to offer - sweet yams straight out of the ground, exquisitely ripe papayas growing by the side of the road. Best boy grip Sekar Veerappan assuming duties of court taster.
Who needs a technocrane when the production is fortunate enough to have such a highly accomplished team of stuntmen in the capable hands of stunt co-ordinator Paul Shapcott. His number two Damien Bryson is flying the Alexa Mini.
It doesn't happen often that one hits the seminal slate number and even better if the location and lighting happen to be faintly Kubrickian.
Why is the Wallbreaker Wall Spreader so hard to find in the UK? Surely one of the simplest, strongest and least damaging ways to hang lamps when needing to span a wide area.
For a low key, low ceilinged interior I wanted long shafts of light without the set being buried in a forest of flags to cut the light. Source 4s into 4x4 mirrors did the trick.
Any shape, any size; in this instance cut into a sheet of Lee 216 Full White Diffusion.
Camera operator Steve Murray is always looking for artful ways to hide GoPros for a stunt. The jury's still out on this one.
This was for a high speed run down narrow dirt roads beneath low overhanging palm fronds. Any type of tracking vehicle would have been too impractical, restrictive because of height and speed, and time consuming. The decision was made to shoot practically but the van interior was very dark, the outside was bright and there was dialogue and action between six passengers in the back, the driver and his accomplice. All the lighting had to be run off a small portable genny but it had to be punchy enough. The rig had to be secure enough to sustain fast driving along a bumpy track. The grips and electricians delivered in spades and displayed admirable ingenuity mounting the genny even though it did cause a puncture to the front tyre! The key side was lit with 2 x 400W HMI Joker Bugs, the fill side with 2 x Arri Skypanel S30s, a 200W HMI Compact Fresnel was positioned over the front windscreen and finally a Fomex Flexible LED was taped to the ceiling inside for interior ambience.
What's that coming through the frame? M90? No, and it doesn't get any better than the sun, especially when its presence and path are guaranteed day in, day out. The sun is reflected off a hard silver reflector board and diffused through Lee 252 Eighth White Diffusion.
Simple and effective even shafts of sunlight for an interior. Five M90s, half spot, each lamp exactly the same height, tilt angle and angle to the building.
This was for an extended sequence shot over three days and was scripted to start at dusk and transition to night. A main feature of the location was the large courtyard pictured below. My initial idea was to silk it and net it but I knew that that would not cut down the light levels enough for the tungsten lighting in the courtyard to read as suitably eveninglike. The cost of using additional heavier nets would have been prohibitive. Trusty key grip Suri Ramasamy came up with an economical and practical solution - garden net for protecting your prize fruits from those pesky squirrels! Available at your local garden centre for next to nothing and the perfect two stops of light loss for filming purposes.
We've hardly done any night exteriors but this was a big one. 9kw hybrid baloon in the street and 18K Arrimax on a cherry picker at the far end. Not that much lighting actually but there was a lot of ground to cover from one end of the street to the other so the mantra of 'one big light far away' applied well in this instance.
For the classic 'rabbit caught in the headlamps' pov shot of a person about to be run over, the rickshaw dolly with a par can mounted either side of the seat did the trick. Camera operator Steve Murray was so impressed with this rickshaw specially built for him by key grip Suri Ramasamy, that he will be shipping it back to England at the end of the job.
Yes I know; it's a pretty corny lighting effect but hey, in the right set and with the appropriate action, it still looks good. Always nice to be able to give a nod to Ridley Scott and Alan Parker. Arri M40 full spot through the fan blades.
Alexa Mini in its most compact configuration stripped down to its bare minimum for a hand held fight scene. Camera operator Steve Murray modeling the latest designs in battery belts.
A neat gobo effect created by joining two cukolorises side together to simulate the effect of light shining through the metal latticework.
I know that these Fomex LEDs have been around for a while but I had never used them before. Great for cars as they can be rolled up and pinched in between the sun visor and roof liner or rolled up into the instrument binnacle. They are incredibly bright; much brighter than the equivalent sized Litegear Litemat. In a low key environment I put ND 9 over them. Here's gaffer Maran Subramanian. Nice eye light...and that's a Hong Kong light under the air vent.
If you are familiar with this blog before you'll know the meaning of 'Strazzed'. If not, scroll down to the entry on 31/03/18 where the term is explained.
One of the less successful ways of disguising a camera. Even in an 18mm super wide shot, the first thing the DIT said on viewing the footage was "Why is that Go Pro in shot and what's it doing in a coconut"?
This is a really nifty and simple piece of equipment designed by the Malaysian grips department courtesy of key grip Suri Ramasamy. In situations when blank rounds are being fired close to camera, it fully protects the camera and camera operator's upper body and head in a light weight, quick to rig package that leaves the operator completely unecumbered to operate the shot in any way he or she chooses. Here's Steve Murray at work.
A pleasure to get reqacquainted with the Malaysian lighting crew's set of mirrors having enjoyed using them in 2015 on 'Indian Summers'. They come in in all shapes and sizes.
It all started here with immaculately arranged dishes of coloured cornstarch before descending into madness. Camera operator Steve Murray and camera taking one for the team. Jorge Luengas, 2nd Unit DoP, clearly smiling at having avoided the deluge.
Our fantastic Malaysian crew but too many to list here. This photo will be published in the upcoming edition of British Cinematographer Magazine with a full list of everybody's names. Key personnel from left to right as follows: Jorge Luengas-2nd Unit Dop (in brown T shirt), Maran Subramanian-Gaffer, Steve Murray-A Camera Operator, Tim Palmer BSC-Director of Photography, Meg de Koenig-B Camera Focus Puller, Suri Ramasamy-Key Grip, Lim Woei Hoa-A Camera Loader (kneeling with clapper board), James Mathai-A Camera Focus Puller (kneeling beneath camera).
The Wall Spreader made by Panther, fondly known as the Wall Breaker for it's crushing force ability to knock out a wall in the hands of the unitiated, is a far superior piece of equipment to the 'Pole Cat' and much less destructive than scaffold tube.
Good tracking vehicle across sand and for close quarters car chase.
Lots to report since filming began in May. Now prepping block 4 with director Mark Everest.
Prepping now in Malaysia for the new HBO/Cinemax series of Strike Back with director Paul Wilmshurst. We are back in Penang with many of our talented and hard working Indian Summers crewmembers.
Killing Eve, currently showing on BBC America, has proven itself a runaway success. Congratulations to director Jon East, with whom I collaborated on episodes 3, 4 and 5. Thank you to producer Colin Wratten and everybody at Sid Gentle Films for inviting me on board. The show has attracted very positive press so far. Vanity Fair and Vox magazine went behind the scenes on episodes directed by Jon East.
Peppa Pig would have been in her element. After a night and day of nonstop rain the sun came through for the final slate.
I'm supposed to light scenes to look like a Vermeer not be in them. Photo courtesy of production designer Arwel Jones.
The water does look inviting but don't be deceived. The Beast from the East had just blown through and the water temp was 3 degrees C. A very tidy splashbag setup.
Named after the great DoP Ivan Strasburg, 'strazzing' means shoving, ramming, balancing, leaning, propping up any piece of grip or lighting equipment using the natural environment and any bit of debris or such like lying around. No stands or conventional grip mounting equipment allowed!
B Team honing their geared heads skills. Focus puller Elhein de Wet the winner by a country mile completing the circuit in 19.5 seconds.
Neat rig for a view up through the plug hole.
Using the built in pre-programmed flicker effect setting available with the new firmware update on Arri Skypanels. It is criminally easy and very effective.
One way of tracking up stairs.
A very elegant and naturalistic way to create a realistic flicker. PKE Lighting made up these boxes. The sparks approve - gaffer Mark 'Hutcho' Hutchings in front.
Steadicam operator Paul Edwards on a Mantis rickshaw dolly from Optical Supports. Steadicam attached to a Garfield mount.
Real SFX are doing an outstanding job laying smoke in the large woodland locations we have been filming in. Hundreds of yards of tube, hidden from the eye, surround each set. Even when the wind picks up there are enough sources spread about to provide even smoke coverage. The results are fantastic, especially when the sun comes out.
It's hot, it's heavy and it draws a lot of power but there's an unquantifiable magic about tungsten light outside. No HMI can match the colour quality and broad punch of a Dino.
My old favourite, the Optex Excellence, comes into its own again for a low angle shot from within a freshly dug grave. Key grip John 'Robbo' Robinson on the left and camera operator Mark McQuoid at the camera.
Camera operator Mark McQuoid facing up to a furry friend and getting into the swing of things with his T-shirt.
It's an honour to be part of the new Dr Who team with the new Doctor. Thank you to director Sallie Aprahamian, producer Alex Mercer, creator Chris Chibnall and everybody at BBC Wales.
A big thank you to director Phil John, producer Ken Horn and everybody at Carnival for inviting me on board the good ship 'Lucky Man'.
Now that's what I call a well laid track. From left to right: Nonchalant director Phil John with his back to camera, 1st Ad Mark Hedges, DoP Tim Palmer BSC, grip Dave Rankin beavering away in the background.
As is always the case with a small guerilla splinter unit, the director will tell us that he only needs sticks and a slider for the shot. I asked Dave Rankin to throw on the 6' slider just in case there's a longer move but all the gear had to be walked down from a fair distance away. At the location the director requested a very low track. Poor old Dave; no pags, no wedges, no appleboxes. Being the ever resourceful grip he improvised with Costa cups and bits of masonry. Congratulations to Dave for his handiwork but he was most embarrassed.
What a wonderful opportunity this has been to enjoy our great river in some of the most beautiful dusk and dawn light, not to mention the fabulous views when catching up on script amendments after lunch.
Camera operator John Piggott in full Hannibal Lecter mode flying his rig off a quad bike for fast tracking shots over rough ground. Note the Wave horizon leveller to keep rock solid horizontals.
Arri Skypanels, judiciously used, are all you need for a day interior. Here used with Chimeras and Lee 216 frames.
For a set that was lit entirely with practicals, the characters around the table required a little fill light. LiteGear LED light sticks worked well hidden behind the floral arrangement.

Farewell 'Killing Eve'. Thanks to producer Colin Wratten, director Jon East, first block DoP Julian Court BSC and everybody at Sid Gentle for an amazing shooting experience. What a final day! Sushi for lunch and my all time favourite breakfast: Poached eggs, smoked haddock, grilled tomatoes, buttered toast and marmalade.
2nd AC Lawrence Watson's famous celebration slates. More to come!
Optex Excellence gets the shot without digging a hole for the camera.
Camera Operator Joe Russell and Key Grip Warwick Drucker settled on this particular mode of transport for an improvised tracking shot across rough ground. A big thank you to the sparks for lending us their barrow.
Excellent use of the Wave to keep the horizon level on lateral steadicam moves especially when not following any action.
Director Jon East always hard at work planning his shots. Camera operator Joe Russell at the controls.
For those really small spaces where it simply isn't possible to fit the camera, the Optex Excellence in horizontal periscope mode will get the shot.
Camera operator Joe Russell setting the controls for a rapid pan. A superb combined effort between key grip Warwick Drucker, Joe Russell and the Movi to execute a tricky shot with one rehearsal and one take.
Ever since seeing this setup from 'Spectre' in American Cinematographer magazine, I've been wanting to try out Hoyte van Hoytema's ND frame technique for day exterior driving scenes. I finally got my chance. Thank you Hoyte. It worked brilliantly! Not sure what lighting you used but the Arri Skypanel 120 worked a treat for us.
Dinos for that late afternoon low evening sun look.
Gaffer Tony Wilcock got me onto a tungsten roll on this job, gently reminding me of how we used to do things on 'Bob and Rose'. Tony was absolutely right as always and his ability to think big delivers all kinds of wonderful surprises. It was an inspired choice to run eight light mini brutes along the upper gallery. They're small, light, more than punchy enough even with 1/2 CTB and very quick to drop out of the way when the camera is looking up. St John's Parish Church on Church Row in Hampstead is surprisingly large inside. The eight lights combined with Dinos coming through the lower windows produced a lovely overall look; gentle hardness with a punch that was evenly spread across the entire space.
The pictures pretty much speak for themselves. Optex Excellence in periscope mode and 10mm optic. Camera operator Joe Russell talks Kielbasa with standby props man Graham Robinson.
A neat way to skim across the turntable and stylus and reveal the club night beyond. Director Jon East at left, looking on.
B Camera Operator Justin Hawkins assuming alternative duties as a greens person. Green fingered Justin was actually constructing a very elaborate bit of foreground to shoot through.
There's clearly a message here. Someone probably thought I was gettting too big for my boots and stuck me somewhere where I would know my place. There's a significance to the loo brush too but you'll have to watch the show to find out what.
A happy crew. From left to right: Director of Photography - Tim Palmer BSC, A Focus Puller - Richard Bradbury, A Camera Operator - Joe Russell, A Clapper Loader - Lawrence Watson, Key Grip - Warwick Drucker, B Camera Trainee - Georgina Cook, Grip Trainee - Jack Jackson, Grip Assistant - Sean Kelly, B Grip - Ed Lancaster, A Camera Trainee - Liam Rough, B Camera Operator - Justin Hawkins, B Focus Puller - Kriss Dallimore.
Focus puller Richard Bradbury and camera operator Joe Russell, doing what they do best.
Ever resourceful grip Warwick Drucker can shoehorn his GF crane into literally any spot. Pictured from left to right: Grip Warwick Drucker, Camera Operator Joe Russell, Focus Puller Richard Bradbury.
Gaffer Tony Wilcock pictured on the right, designed this custom ring light to fit perfectly over the lens barrel of the Optex 14mm lens. The shot required a circular highlight in the eyes but because of what the camera was doing, the light and the lens had to be locked together. There couldn't be any space between the lip of the lens and the lamp housing.
The Movi Remote was the best way to achieve a 270 deg track around the actresses face with the camera only inches away. A simple soft top light with an LED panel providing fill from below and kept just out of frame.
For an extensive night exterior chase at a major intersection in Berlin there was an apartment building overlooking both streets with a fortuituously placed wraparound roof terrace. It provided an ideal platform to rig lights especially as there was nowhere to position a cherry picker without severly compromising the coverage.
Panther's 'Wall Spreader' working well for an exterior lighting rig.
Cassiopeia in Berlin is a huge area of derelict warehouses and open ground. We had to light an area of about a quarter mile by a hundred yards. Single source lamps would have been hopeless here and thanks as always to gaffer Tony Wilcock thinking BIG, we went with two half Wendys and a full Dino on the cherrypicker. It was exactly the right decision. The spread was perfectly even from end to end.
Every inch matters. Focus puller Richard Bradbury clearly happy not to be in the cupboard with camera operator Joe Russell.
Camera operator Joe Russell's mountaineering strength proves its worth on shots like these. Director Jon East demonstrating how to offer the phone to camera for best effect.
Supplied by The Moving Cine Company in Berlin, it comes with narrow gauge track around three sides with a remote control dolly. I've never seen anything like it before. It worked brilliantly and was the first time in twenty years filming that I (and I can speak for everyone else on the crew) actually enjoyed a day on a low loader.
Camera operator Joe Russell's first day with the Optex and clearly enjoying the experience.
Due to availability issues we used three different borescope/periscope lens relay systems in the first week before being able to keep the Optex Excellence. The Century system uses traditional cine lenses on the extension tube so there is a choice of optic. This provides a speed advantage as the lens is a true T4 - fast by borescope standards - and the film lenses impart the most cinematic look. We did experience problems with dust particles inside the optic that could not be remedied at short notice and the near focus is not as close as that of a completely integrated system. The T-Rex came along next. It definitely lives up to its name and is defined by its monstrous size. Optically it is faultless but is hampered by the T8.0 maximum stop. Finally our old friend the Optex Excellence. It is the most perfectly designed system: quick to set up, very few moving parts, well balanced and a true T4.5.
Normally just utilised to offset the camera but is very useful when needing to be lower on a slider.
You'll never notice camera operator Joe Russell blending in with the scenery; promise... Note the Optex Excellence in periscope mode getting the widest field of view in a minute changing cubicle.
The Carpetlight flexible LED panels are an excellent design and proved very versatile in cars and small spaces. Only seem to be available in Germany at present. Any UK/US distributors?
Creative use of the Wave1 Horizon Leveller in a very small location. There was not enough room for the dolly but the director wanted to track with the actor who starts the scene with dialogue in a seated position then gets up and delivers lines on the move, finishing his speech in a standing position. The director did not want the camera to tilt up too much at the end, which necessitated some kind or rise. Camera operator Joe Russell and key grip Warwick Drucker rigged the 6' slider higher at one end and mounted the Wave1 on the head to keep the horizon level for the length of the move.
Hexatron Crane Positioning Vehicle with Super Technocrane and Movi wireless remote head. Nifty footwork by Warwick Drucker!
Where old Citroens go to die - or get a new lease of life as a tracking vehicle. The smart proprietors at The Moving Cine Company in Berlin understood that Citroen's 1970s state of the art suspension system would provide the smoothest ride. No overblown gaz guzzling Silverados here. In the top picture key grip Warwick Drucker is attending to the Movi. In the second picture camera operator Joe Russell looking to camera and focus puller Richard Bradbury on the left.

Coming in to shoot the middle three episodes of new drama series 'Killing Eve', I inherited a fantastic remote system devised by first block cinematographer Julian Court BSC alongside camera operator Joe Russell, focus puller Richard Bradbury and key grip Warwick Drucker and supplied by Fava Rental Ltd. The Alexa Mini is mounted on a Movi which in turn is fixed to a wireless remote head controlled by wheels. It's a completely stabilised system and works effortlessly in every situation that a stabilised head is commonly used. The small physical size of the system demands primes or an ultra light weight zoom. That is the only restriction. The remote Movi proved as invaluable on a dolly in small spaces - shown below - as it did on a Technocrane.
Gaffer Tony Wilcock's rig in the studio on 'Killing Eve'. Space lights are Arri Lightflos diffused with a belly of Depron. Proper use of 'hospital corners' for gelling the key lights correctly. Good work!
Filming has started on the new BBC America series 'Killing Eve' starring Sandra Oh and produced by Sid Gentle. It's a treat to be teamed up again with director Jon East, 1st AD Marcus Caitlin, camera operator Joe Russell and gaffer Tony Wilcock.
Farewell Savannah and an enormous thank you to my incredibly hard working, talented and passionate crew. I hope we all meet again on series two.
Penultimate day of filming and we're all looking very cheery. On the dolly, Director of Photography Tim Palmer at camera with B Camera focus puller Alan Newcomb. Under the flag, camera operator John C. Lehman with director Philippa Langdale.
Spread those legs wider John! Dolly grip Chris Koch was definitely trying to stitch you up here. Another ignominious camera position for camera operator John C. Lehman as he finds himself in the only place he really doesn't want to be. Finally, gaffer Steven Thompson dives in to find the centre of the beam.
It's always like that with flags and nets. Once you get going there's no stopping. The camo net stretched over a 4x4 frame was a good starting point.
Good use of the Tango Head when there is not enough room to spread the tripod legs sufficiently to get the top plate level.
One way to get the crane from A to B. Saves having to pack it up and rebuild it. Teamsters don't only drive the big trucks!
A few lighting gags here.
For the the old favourite driving over the camera gag.
Quick 'get you out of trouble' rig if you have to get a bit more onto the eye line of the person driving and wish to avoid car mounts. Camera operator John C. Lehman operates the shot with ease.
Christened the Lorax after the Dr. Seuss character, this is a prototype LED designed and built by gaffer Steve Thompson. This version is only daylight but a bi-colour model is in the works. It is fully dimmable and at its brightest the ouput is easily equivalent to a Maxi Brute's, yet being LED, the Lorax will run comfortably off a domestic household supply. A miracle lamp!
Our remote head developed a fault so we were unable to use the jib arm. Dolly grip Chris Koch improvised with this impressive Ubangi rig off the Chapman Hustler dolly running laterally on two pieces of speed rail.
Blessed with calm conditions for a night shoot, the special effects smoke brought out the shafts of light in all their glory. Special effects wizard, Raymond Talley hid a good quarter mile of perforated smoke tubes around the set. The live oaks dripping with Spanish moss produced a wonderfully gothic gobo effect - clearly of no interest to anyone in video village.
Key Grip Dave Spencer had an innovative way of rigging large silks in the tree canopy. Use a crossbow to fire the shotbags and line over the high branches and then haul up the rags. A matter of minutes.
Gaffer Steve Thompson's 4kw tungsten umbrella ball with the interior fabric painted daylight blue.
Even the cicadas want to look at the monitors these days. She's beautifully lit, if I don't say so myself.
Director Saul Metzstein looking a little dubious about the crane's ability to extricate itself from its contorted starting point. The bucket had millimetres of clearance as it exited the doorway. Of course the shot worked a treat as you can see with the end frame of standby props cleaning the sunroof. You wouldn't do this to your Previa would you?
The supersized yank tank picture car makes it a breeze to hide the Litegear LiteMats. They even work in a golf buggy. Focus puller Richard H Lacy on the left and camera operator John C Lehman behind camera.
A simple night light setup. 10K at the end of the dock. One of gaffer Steve Thompson's versatile umbrella balls on a Blackbird stand to the right. Who needs cherry pickers and balloons?
Lovely old LTM 6K on the left. The fresnel is almost as large as the 18K's on the right. These 6's are as rare as hen's teeth apparently. This was the only one in the southern USA and came from Texas. The Blackbird 220 lighting stands handle the weight and any terrain effortlessly.
The grips are ready for anything here. For an unscheduled improvised dialogue scene in a car, my impoverished notion of rigging a 12x12 on stands either side of the car to cut reflections was pooh-poohed by key grip Dave Spencer. "Look what I've got instead", he says and in comes the 'fly swatter'. It delivered a fantastic bounce for a scene at the end of the day too.
Great work from the grips and camera department building this rig in record time for an ultra low angle track forward. Our HotHead has certainly been round the block. It works perfectly but must be one of Richard Loncraine and Peter Hannan's (see last entry at bottom of page on link) earliest incarnations of the device judging by the design and lettering. From right to left, dolly grip Chris Koch manning the dolly, key grip Dave Spencer behind the crane keeping an eagle eye on proceedings and gaffer Steve Thompson in conversation with his chief electrician Kevin.
Hang on a minute. We were promised sunshine all day long. Might as well have shot this scene at Wentworth. Note the Arri Skypanel S30-C hand basher.
'Living The Dream' - For real!
First shot of the day as the sun rises over Skidaway Island, GA. Dolly grip Chris Koch putting the finishing touches to the track while camera operator John C Lehman looks out at the dolphins gamboling lazily in the creek.
Filming has now started in Savannah, Georgia on 'Living the Dream' for Big Talk/Sky. Saul Metzstein is directing episodes 1-3 and Philippa Langdale, episodes 4-6.
Dedolight kindly invited me to present a workshop on drama based lighting techniques using the Dedolight Octodome Panaura soft light. The program was skilfully filmed and edited by Dedo stalwart, Rick Young. Dave Morphy at Cirrolite generously provided crew, additional lighting equipment and use of the company's state-of-the-art studio facilities. Click on the following links to view Part 1 and Part 2.
Emma clearly doing all the work, now assuming operating duties under Ken's guidance. I'm just being an idle bystander enjoying the panoramic feature of the iphone.
Emma Friend carrying the camera back to the van after catching the last glorious rays of a west coast sunset.
I did say it was a skeleton crew. Director Ken McMullen standing in to set the shot. It was a long walk back around the lake to check the frame!
As a precursor to principal photography, director Ken McMullen took a small crew to a secret location on the west coast of Ireland to film scenes for the upcoming feature, 'Hamlet Revenant', a retelling of Shakespeare's 'Hamlet', starring Ian McKellen and Gabriel Byrne. The camera department consisted of myself, focus puller Emma Friend and a Sony FSW-7.
'Tina and Bobby' begins its three part run on ITV1 tonight, 13th January, at 9.00pm.

CAA declares Jeremy Corbyn unfit to hold any public office
Following the constant stream of revelations about the Labour Party over the past several weeks, Campaign Against Antisemitism has declared Jeremy Corbyn unfit to hold any public office.
Gideon Falter, Chairman of Campaign Against Antisemitism, said: "For weeks, events from Jeremy Corbyn's disturbing past have trickled into the light. Among his many acts during his time as a backbench MP, when he could speak his mind without fear of scrutiny, he blamed Islamist terrorist attacks on Israel; defended an appalling antisemitic mural; honoured a sheikh banned from the UK for saying that Jews drink non-Jews' blood; said that a Hamas terrorist whose life's work was the murder of Jews was his 'brother'; held a repulsive event on Holocaust Memorial Day in which Jews were accused of being the successors to the Nazis; tried to have the word 'Holocaust' removed from the title of Holocaust Memorial Day; laid a wreath at a memorial for the Black September terrorists behind the Munich Massacre; made euphemistic comments to suggest that Jews are somehow un-British and foreign to the ways of our country, and more.
"Throughout the last three years and these past few weeks, Jeremy Corbyn has lied, distracted, tried to twist the definition of antisemitism to exclude his past conduct, and issued false apologies when pressure mounted. He has claimed to have been seeking peace and to have been judged out of context, but the facts show that over many years he sought to defend, honour, assist and promote antisemites, and the context is that his actions have been consistent with those of an ideological antisemite. We had hoped that the Labour Party might at some point rise to the defence of British Jews, but the institutions of the once proudly anti-racist Labour Party are now corrupted and will not act. Instead they merely persecute those members who stand up to antisemitism.
"For as long as the Labour Party is in Jeremy Corbyn's grip, it cannot be a force for good. His past demonstrates that he should never have been elected to the leadership of the Labour Party and he is unfit to hold any public office. Antisemites must not hold positions of power."
We have launched a petition declaring that "Jeremy Corbyn is an antisemite and is unfit to hold any public office".

Neo-Nazi with antisemitic material at home who was making a bomb is jailed for... Jeremy Corbyn remorseless after slur about British "Zionists"

I went on a tinder date in January with a boy who stood me up three days prior but swore he was sorry. Lucky for him, whose name is long gone, complacency was my specialty. He was pale and thin and nothing like his photos. Maybe he was tired. Maybe he was strung out. He asked me if I believed in good and evil between louder than average slurps of lemongrass chicken pho. I thought I felt a spray of broth as he spoke through his wiry beard. I ate at a pace that was hard to ignore and bolted, claiming I had a work deadline so absolutely pressing that it tore me from dinner after 26 minutes of conversation. I went home and cried for the first time in three months. Whatever.
Gave up for a while. Finished it the next day.
There were two snow days in Bushwick, but a better term for it would be tear-your-arm-off-blizzard no-hope-in-sight tarp-your-windows-so-snow-doesn't-get-in days. I painted this next to a slow forming pile of snow forming under my AC unit. This painting still reminds me of the tree in front of our apartment blowing so hard in the wind that we were afraid it would snap and go through our window.
I painted this while watching Split, that one movie about the kidnapper-killer with multiple personalities. There were three people with me, we were drinking Bud Light and eating hummus and pita and pausing the movie intermittently to converse about unimportant things. I felt nothing, portrayed nothing, this painting says nothing.
Once I lived with a girl named Jess that moved a mean cat and a meaner Russian man into our apartment. I lived on roofs and the coffee shop called Little Skips and bars in Williamsburg and I'd ride the J train past my stop just to burn a little more time before going to the apartment. Some problems can be fixed, this wasn't one of them. I pretended that everything was okay because I'm good at that. Maybe that's why I used such happy colors.


Nothing that exciting or classy!! I'm wearing…are you ready for it?…a velour shirt.
Love the velour shirt, love both of the letters 🙂 At 16 I was wearing legwarmers and Madonna bracelets… fortunately there are no pictures!

School district, city, and community partners…
School district, city, and community partners to conduct emergency readiness exercise in Dearborn
Community members check out the fire truck and equipment during Dearborn's "National Night Out" last year. Press & Guide file photo
By Press and Guide, Press Release, Guide Intern and Guide News |
PUBLISHED: June 11, 2019 at 12:16 p.m. | UPDATED: June 17, 2021 at 10:41 a.m.
Dearborn Public Schools along with several city and community organizations this month will again stage an emergency readiness exercise after school dismisses for the summer.
The June 19 drill will be held at O.L. Smith Middle School, 23851 Yale St., Dearborn. Residents in the area and those traveling near the school will notice police, fire and other emergency personnel on scene as part of this important exercise. The drill is expected to run from about 8:30 a.m. until noon.
Dearborn Schools has worked with Dearborn Police and Dearborn Fire officials for years on table top drills for how to respond to school emergencies. The June drill is a chance for those agencies and other community organizations to better practice how they would respond in an emergency.
"For the past several years we have worked with police and fire officials at the City of Dearborn to conduct table top exercises at several of our schools. This live exercise is the natural progression of our emergency preparedness training and will help our schools and first responders better prepare for an actual emergency situation," said event organizer and Dearborn Public Schools Director of Safety and Security Dr. Don Ball.
Like last year, the drill will be based on a threat being made on social media and then a gunman coming and forcing his way into the school.
In addition to district staff, Dearborn Police and Dearborn Fire, including EMS, will participate in the exercise. Beaumont Hospital will use the event to review its procedures for reunifying families. Henry Ford Hospital Fairlane will participate and receive "casualties" to their emergency room.
"The number of organizations taking part in this exercise demonstrates the advantages to building strong community partnerships in our city. We especially appreciate Mayor O'Reilly's leadership and his continued focus on keeping Dearborn, and our schools, a safe place for all," said Dearborn Public Schools Supt. Glenn Maleyko.
Over the years, Dearborn Public Schools has actively worked to improve school safety and create a safe school environment. The district's schools all have locked doors where visitors must request entry during the school day. In several buildings, the office has been moved near the main door so staff can better control and assess who is entering the building. All buildings have emergency plans which are updated regularly. The district also has worked to improve school environments through long standing anti-bullying policies and programs.
A major piece to the Dearborn Public Schools safety plan is the strong partnership with the Dearborn Police Department. With direction from Mayor John B. O'Reilly, Jr., Police Chief Ronald Haddad has established a robust community policing system. Patrol officers routinely visit all Dearborn schools. For 2017-2018, officers made 4,612 school park-and-walk visits as part of their daily patrols. These routine visits allow officers to build strong relationships with the staff and students in the school and go a long way to preventing problems before they occur.
In addition, seven School Resource Officers (SRO's) are assigned to schools in Dearborn. These highly trained officers spend their days in the schools and become part of the building culture. Working with the school's administration, the SRO's are highly effective in helping to identify and investigate possible threats to school safety before they reach a critical level.
"Our district has been very proactive over the years and will continue to build upon our strong partnership with the city to ensure a safe school environment for students and staff," added Maleyko.

WordPress might look complex when you're beginning a blog. If you're using WordPress.com, there are fewer options, but some are still on the advanced side. If you're using WordPress software, there are additional options. The ones that have to do with blog setup, posting blog entries, and hosting concerns are somewhat mixed together. Yet the options that are important from the beginning make a big difference in having a trouble-free and enjoyable experience in blogging with WordPress.


In Peru, MMI, in partnership with a local NGO, CEOP ILO, have implemented an innovative School Peace Program. Students are learning skills in conflict resolution, peer mediation and advocacy, to help reduce bullying in their schools. In the last year, 88 teachers have also been trained in the program, allowing them to introduce violence prevention and conflict resolution strategies into their schools, helping them to be safer and encouraging a positive learning environment.
"For a long time, we as teachers could see that there was a problem. Now we can be part of the solution". Teacher Mentor, School Anti-Violence Program.

With this development, the Grammys find themselves not only without a twice-nominated artist whom they have been using to promote the show, but also without one of the most vital artists of the moment. In the past two years Grande has experienced two major tragedies — the 2017 bombing outside her concert at the UK's Manchester Arena in which 22 people died, and the drug-overdose death of her former boyfriend Mac Miller last September. But she has also played triumphant concerts, including the "One Love Manchester" benefit staged just two weeks after the tragedy, and released a triumphant No.

And on Sunday, Pink took to Instagram to share a sweet image of her son and daughter presenting her with a homemade Grammy.
Pink was nominated for one Grammy on Sunday night, that ultimately went to the Thank You, Next singer.
'Thanks Kids:) my favorite kind of award,' wrote Pink.
Ariana Grande has fired back at Grammys producer Ken Ehrlich's claims that she's not performing at the ceremony because they felt it was "too late for her to pull something together." "i've kept my mouth shut but now you're lying about me," Grande tweeted on Thursday (Friday AEDT). "i can pull together a performance over night and you know that, Ken. it was when my creativity & self expression was stifled by you, that i decided not to attend. i hope the show is exactly what you want it to be and more." "i offered 3 different songs," she went on. "it's about collaboration. it's about feeling supported.
A Grammy Award (stylized as GRAMMY , originally called Gramophone Award), or Grammy , is an award presented by The Recording Academy to recognize achievements in the music industry.
The Instagram slideshow showed daughter Willow, seven, proudly holding up the makeshift Grammy, which was constructed of tinfoil, and possibly a cardboard box.
Young son Jameson, two, also took his turn holding up the homemade award.
Prior to her cute post, the singer, who received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame earlier this week, took to Twitter to address her loss.
'I think it's kind of rad that I just lost my 20th Grammy nomination,' she admitted.
While she has been nominated 20 times, Pink has taken home three Grammys; one in 2012, another in 2004, and one in 2011.
No longer just a nominee!
She was born to Joan Grande who was at the time the chief executive of telephone and alarm Ariana seems to enjoy a close relationship with her mother. The father has maintained contact with the daughter something most fathers who separate from the mother of their children find difficult to do.
Pink has been married to husband Carey Hart, 43, since 2006. The couple welcomed daughter Willow in 2011, and son Jameson in 2016.
When asked by E! News if she and her husband had plans for Valentine's Day, she shared a cute story which involved a diamond ring.
'We went to a store the other day and I was like, '"That's a nice ring, babe,''' she began.
The duo are currently getting ready for her Beautiful Trama World Tour.
