Nikki Amuka-Bird has a distinguished list of acting credits to her name in TV, cinema and theatre. It shouldn't be surprising, since she graduated from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) and subsequently performed and toured with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC). She went on to perform in theatres up and down the country – the National Theatre, the Bristol Old Vic, the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield, Donmar Warehouse and the Tricycle Theatre, to name but a few.
She has appeared in over 30 long-running and limited series as one off and recurring/central characters, as well as movies, for television. Our favourite appearances are, obviously, in The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (2008, Alice Busang), Torchwood (2008, Beth Halloran), Small Island (2009, Celia), Luther (2011-13), Sinbad (2012, The Professor), Death in Paradise (2014) and Quarry (2016, Ruth). She has played an MP (Survivors, 2008-10), a Vietnam Vet's widow (Quarry) A PC (Five Days, 2007), a DS/DCI/detective superintendent, a professor, a cyborg sleeper agent, a socialite and a star ship captain!
Now, this November Amuka-Bird will be on our screens as Zadie Smith's barrister, Natalie Blake in the BBC 2 adaptation of the 2012 novel NW.
I'm laughing like a kid at Christmas at the prospect of interviewing one of our, if not now, then soon-to-be, most important actresses. Can you hear the delight in my voice [laughs]?
Hello, how are you? [laughs] I'm thrilled to speak to you!
Yes, well, time flies! I graduated in 2000, so it's been 16 years, and I still feel very lucky to be doing what I love to do, still having that huge sense of discovery and excitement about it and that passion. So thank you, very much!
Did you know from an early age that you wanted to be an actress?
Well, thank you, Mr. Friend!
I know, it's [so strange] that I've never really made that association before! It was great, and I think it was good for me, because I was a blank canvas. I went to drama college and I didn't really have an idea of what acting meant. So I was a sponge and just open to all the disciplines that you can learn. It was a really wonderful time in my life.
What's always struck me about you is your beautiful dark skin. You, Ellen Thomas, Judith Jacob, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, are some of the few darker-skinned British actresses who have been given very substantial roles. But also, there's something in the way you carry yourself. It's definitely not haughtiness – that's way too harsh. It's more like a regal bearing… You manage to translate that into characters like the Professor (Sinbad), DS/DCI Erin Grey in Luther. I loved Anna Jackson, that spoilt little rich girl (Death In Paradise, #3.7, 2014), and as Captain Diomika Tsing in Jupiter Ascending (2015), which showcased so much black British talent – Ariyon Bakare, David Ajala and Gugu Mbatha-Raw.
Yes, the Wachowskis (Lana and Lily) are really keen on diversity. It was a really lovely thing to make a black woman the captain of a ship in an authoritative role! I always try and use my dance training, that posture you learn in your dance work and that sense of movement and how a character carries themselves, it's really helpful in my work. I'm often wary of that sense of haughtiness which, as you say, is an easy way to define women who are powerful and in control and ambitious. It's something that I really try and unpick, because I think life's challenges require that you have to be strong, and you have to find your power, whether male or female, black or white.
Oftentimes, it can be misinterpreted as being cold. I'm often worried about the sense of powerful black women being misunderstood, because I think they are heroines as well. People like Michelle Obama, when she first came onto the scene, it was just so wonderful to see a woman like that in a position of power, and I remember, at first, her being criticised for being so strong. But I think we have to look past those stereotypes and clichés and celebrate her strength and what it takes to get to that position. But I'm really glad to play women who inspire me and, in some ways, are stronger than I am, and that you have to rise to the challenge to define their power!
The Grey/Luther dynamic did bother some of us, especially since she was the only other black character for a while. But, what you say is also true, as illustrated by the difficulties Obama faced in trying to convince Michelle to go out with him!
…She doesn't want reckless behaviour threatening her future, even if it is from our hero. Really trying to look into why people become who they become is part of my job.
That's a really lovely compliment! I'm so glad to hear you say that. I was raised by my single mother – an incredible woman. A woman who has had to be completely self-reliant, who has not only raised me, but has been successful in her multiple businesses. I feel an empathy with women who life has put into a position where they have to be the breadwinner and they have to be tough. If they're not tough, they won't succeed. I feel a kind of responsibility to look behind the surface of that, because I know that it can be intimidating to some people. I'm really glad hear you say that the truth of that comes through.
[Laughs] Well, she was definitely confused. But, she was also looking for love and appreciation from her father who didn't understand her artistic sensibilities. She was still trying to find herself. She had been spoilt and that privilege meant that she was slightly indulgent in her search for herself. I always try not to judge the characters, and that allows me to play with them and let the audience decide what they feel about them.
When I saw you in Jupiter Ascending on the bridge as Captain Tsing of the Aegis force, I think I nearly jumped out of my seat I was so pleased! I was in a big iMax, so I got her, full force – her comportment, her authority and calm. All of the things we've seen in Star Trek, Star Wars – even Idris as the captain in Prometheus – we've seen it in everyone else, but I'm thinking you may be the first black female Captain, certainly played by a Brit… I can only think of freighter captain Kasidy Yates-Sisko (Star Trek Deep Space 9, Penny Johnson Jerold, 1995-99) and Terran Federation Pilot Lt. Rosie Forbes (Wing Commander, Brit Ginny Holder, 1999).
For me, I love the way that these bigger roles that you've done now bring us to NW's Natalie – your 45th acting credit! Set in present day, she is a barrister, rather than a solicitor. She's one of a group of childhood friends – Leah (Phoebe Fox), Richie Campbell's Nathan and OT Fagbenle's Felix – from the same estate, but your lives have gone off in different directions.
Yes, Natalie actually started life as Keisha. She's a product of her own self-invention. She's incredibly intelligent, incredibly capable, self-taught and she has this hunger for knowledge and learning and new experiences. She's ambitious and propels her life forward at an extraordinary rate, and achieves a huge amount of success. She has success in her personal life – she's married; she has 2 kids. Everything on the surface looks like she has the perfect life. In terms of her story it's examining the cost of breaking through the glass ceiling in the sense that she feels slightly disconnected from her culture and her earlier life. It looks at a crisis of identity, a cultural or existential crisis of her asking herself at this point, now that I have everything, am I really happy? Who am I? Do the people who knew me when I was a child accept me? Do the people who I work with now, who surround me, do they accept me? It's a sort of look within herself to find her identity again, which I thought was a really brave idea and brave story-telling from Zadie [Smith], because she's really honest about what it can mean to be ambitious and what it can cost you.
I think, as with this generation, her mum says to her you're gonna have to work twice as hard as everyone else to be counted and to be seen, and you're gonna have to be perfect. I think she takes that very seriously, and that's her drive in life, that you have to work so hard to get what you want, and she thinks the answer to all her problems in life is professionalism and perfectionism. In a way, it works. But, in a way, she loses some of herself in that journey. I think people will be able to identify with her, hopefully. If I've done a good job [laughs].
It sounds right up your street, to be honest. All the other entertainment news outlets, were stressing how delighted everyone was, including Zadie Smith, that you were cast as Natalie.
I was really excited about it, because it's set in my old neighbourhood. I know NW, I know those streets really well, I'm a real fan of Zadie's work and I had the book. So by the time the script came my way, I just felt really excited and ready to dive into it. I also feel that what Zadie's written in this character is something I've never seen before, in terms of the honesty of that journey, of pioneering in your career, and being the first person to be a professional in their family, of being the first person to achieve their dream in their family, and what that experience really entails – not being a fairytale, but the truth of that. I was thrilled that it came my way and to find out that Zadie knew who I was, I was like, WOW! The biggest reward was right there, because she had seen my work and there was an affinity. She was sharing her experiences and I was sharing mine, and she was really encouraging about playing the role. It was really exciting!
He's worked in documentaries, I think, which is really key to his style. He really knows how to go into communities, into different territories and capture the truth of those lives. He really demanded from all of us that we really strip back everything in terms of anything stylistic and just get to the bottom of who these people are and allow him to observe. Not feel that we have to try too hard, but rather slip into the characters and feel exactly where they were coming from. This is the second time I'm working with him. I did a mini-series called Line of Beauty years ago (2006). It was only a small part, but I remember having a really profound experience with him, because he knows how to bring out the truth, and that's exactly what you're aiming for every time. You might pick up bad habits along the way, but he just strips it back and goes, No. We're not doing anything here, but offering up the truth of these lives to the audience. He's brilliant.
You've got a great central cast, it's just brilliant! What a great poster that's going to be!
OT Fagbenle is actually a really good friend of mine – someone I've known for a long time. So it was really lovely to be working with him and Richie and Phoebe. There was a real sense of camaraderie. What's great about this story is that even though it centres around the best friends, each character has a very challenging journey and a different story arc. There was a real sense of us coming together and going, we really want to make Zadie proud and to a make each other proud and to show a slice of life that maybe doesn't always get shown on British television. There's a real passion there, and compassion. I hope it comes through in the final film!
So apart from all the wonderful theatre and these brilliant mini-series' – you've got everything on your CV. But, you have done quite a few movies for TV – around 6. So is there anything you want to tell aspiring actors and actresses about what maybe sets the extended one-off episode apart from the other TV mediums?
This is a 90 minute, one-off film, yes. Well, it's interesting that this is a book adaptation as well. I've done a few of book adaptations which lend themselves quite well to TV movies. What's lovely about that is having the book as source material, so you have all of the rich reference of detail and it can really spark your imagination. You 're really supported with the information that the author gives you.
I love all the different styles and genres. I think what's nice about doing TV movies, is you can have a clear sense of what the story arc; what the narrative is going to be. Sometimes it can be challenging with series', because you have to be on your toes all the time in a different way to interpret the character's actions, because, you don't know, until those new episodes arrive, what your character's story is. So it's a completely different style. I like both of them. But I must say I do enjoy the chillness of the story-telling with these films [laughs]. I'm not fussy, I love it all!
It has been such a pleasure for me, I hope you've enjoyed it too! Thank you!
Thank you, yes, it was lovely talking to you. I love what you do, by the way. I'm really aware of what you do. I check in with what you guys are saying, and I always find it so supportive. So thank you, guys!
Well, thank you very much, on behalf of the team and Madame TBB.
In my mind, Nikki Amuka-Bird is our Viola Davis, demonstrating a similar quietly powerful star quality, which I can only see getting better. It will, I'm absolutely sure, bring her the same well-deserved success as that currently enjoyed by Ms. Davis.
We will be watching and cheering her all the way!
NW will air BBC2 on November 14th 2016 at 9pm.

Weekly News Roundup – October 26, 2012
Aislinn Maestas | October 26, 2012
Want to know what National Wildlife Federation was up to this week? Here is a recap of the week's NWF news:
HISD Celebrates New Collaboration with National Wildlife Federation's Eco-Schools USA Program
October 26 – The Houston Independent School District and National Wildlife Federation's Eco-Schools program have established a new collaboration that will help close achievement gaps for disadvantaged students and improve science and math learning through the use of outdoor environmental education.
The new Eco-Schools USA initiative will expand on the current Schoolyard Habitat program between HISD and NWF. It will also allow for further expansion and development of the Green School Challenge, launched in December 2011, by helping schools make their buildings and campuses more eco-friendly.
200+ Scientists Call on Obama Administration to "Look Before You Leap" on Potentially Invasive Energy Crops
October 22 – More than 200 scientists from across the country sent a letter to the Obama administration today urging them to take a "look before you leap" approach to potentially invasive plants grown for bioenergy, warning that some of the crops being considered for large-scale energy plantings may actually be highly invasive and potentially harmful to native species. The letter was sent in response to news that EPA is close to finalizing a rule which would allow fuel made from two known noxious weeds, Arundo donax and napiergrass, to count toward federally-mandated renewable fuels targets.
"Many of today's most problematic invasive plants – from kudzu to purple loosestrife – were intentionally imported and released into the environment for horticultural, agricultural, conservation, and forestry purposes. These invasive species already cost billions of dollars a year in the United States and are one of the primary threats to North America's native species and ecosystems. It is imperative that we learn from our past mistakes by preventing intentional introduction of energy crops that may create the next invasive species catastrophe – particularly when introductions are funded by taxpayer dollars," states the letter.

Ha! I just wanted to make a simple music video of the Rice Song, but now it's no less than epic: 10 pieces of audio equipment from 5 different friends, 2 filmmakers with all their machines, and another audio buddy to fiddle with dials and cables. Sunday, here we go!


The US Department of State has released its report on the state of human rights practices around the world. The report is critical of Turkey's recent record, and the Government of Turkey has responded strongly.
They have tactfully avoided asking how many civilians have died in Iraq and other Middle East countries (and elsewhere) as a result of US government aggression. They have also not pointed out the hypocrisy of criticising Turkey's human rights record when they are currently trying to cope with more than three million refugees from the US-sponsored civil war in Syria – and wealthy Western countries are refusing to help.
"The parts of the latest report regarding Turkey, released on March 3, 2017, comprise unacceptable allegations, misrepresentations and interpretations that do not reflect reality. In this period, when we are faced with unprecedented threats of terrorism against the survival of our nation and state, misrepresentation of our legitimate struggle against terrorist organizations, in particular FETÖ [the Fethullahist Terror Organization], the PKK [Kurdistan Workers' Party], the DHKP-C [Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front] and DAESH [an Arabic acronym for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant], in a way that does not reflect realities, has caused deep disappointment," read the statement issued by the Foreign Ministry in response to a 75-page U.S. Department of State report.
"Inconsistent access to due process," "government interference with freedom of expression," and "inadequate protection of civilians," especially in the aftermath of the July 2016 coup attempt, were among the significant human rights problems observed in 2016.
"It is denotative that the report makes no reference to the role of FETÖ elements in the July 15 coup attempt, or the fact that the FETÖ leadership lives in the U.S. Also, the description of our fight against the PKK terrorist organization as an 'internal conflict' is totally unacceptable," the ministry stated.


Orthodox Church is indeed in a state of canonical disarray and this paper aims to put together a set of plausible arguments in favor of this statement. The best place to start is likely with Viscuso's study "A Quest for Reform of the Orthodox Church: The 1923 Pan-Orthodox Congress," which looks back at the 1923 as a quintessential moment in the process of reform that the Orthodox Church could have embarked on at the beginning of the 20th century.
This reform process could have positively affected the development of the church, including by making it more adaptable to the requirements of the 20th century. Some of the initiatives that Melenios put forward at the Congress were, in fact, targeting organizational needs. With the expansion of the Orthodox creed on new continents, including North and South America, his goal was to concentrate leadership in the hands of the Patriarch of Constantinople (Viscuso, 2006).
Beyond the fact that, at that time, this was him, the approach made a lot of sense from a political and organizational point-of-view: such centralization would have allowed for a unitary approach, in everything from canonical law to assigning functions within the church. However, this was not the case, leading to the Orthodox Church adapting itself to the characteristics of the American continents. What are these characteristics that led to the disarray of the Orthodox Church in the United States?
First of all, the size of the country and the spreading out of the population in a large territory have led to autonomy in small orthodox communities, with a noticeable parochialism. Second, the approach towards the church and religion in general in the United States is different than in Europe, for example, with a very distinctive separation between the Church and the State, as stipulated by the Constitution itself.
Saliba () rightly points out towards the church-state synthesis as an important component of the Orthodox Church. In his work, he analyzes the evolution of the Church-State synthesis of the Orthodox cult, starting with the relationship between the Church and the Byzantine state. He points out that "no institution can develop to its full potential in a heterenomous relationship of power" (page 189).
This is certainly correct, but he also clearly mentions that the Church found in the powerful state a friendly ally and interlocutor. Likely, the discussion can go even further with this: the synthesis between State and Church was so complete in the Byzantine world that, towards the end of the Byzantine Empire, the two simply overlapped, with religious figures taking over the government of the state.
It is interesting to note that this was also the case in many of the Orthodox states, as far on as the 20th century. In Russia for example, just like in the Balkans, the religious patriarch would occasionally assume a role in the government, including as a prime minister in several cases.
Today, the synthesis between State and Church is transferred in the budgetary field: the Orthodox Church receives a generous part of the budget, as the official religion of the state (something that obviously brings complains from other religious groups that are not thus represented in the budgetary field).

This tapestry 'Redoute Peony' shows a peony in bloom, based on a work by French artist Pierre-Joseph Redoute. The peony is a flower that has many traditional as well as romantic associations. The word peony was named after the Greek god of healing. It is believed that a picture of peonies placed in the south west corner of a home will bring romantic luck to the ladies of that home. Here we see the crimson leaves of the flower and the pointed leaves near the base of the cutting. Redoute, being an artist of plants as well as a botanist, contributed over 2100 published prints of plants of over 1800 species, some of which were illustrated and rendered for the first time. This tapestry 'Redoute Peony' is backed with lining and tunnel for easy hanging. Note: tapestry rod and tassels, where pictured, are purchased separately.

Brad Pitt suffers from prosopagnosia
Katrine Johns | July 8, 2022 | Entertainment | No Comments
MISE À DAY
American actor Brad Pitt suffers from a very particular disorder, prosopagnosia.
The 58-year-old man made this admission during an interview with GQ magazine a few days ago.
This neurological disease is also known as "face blindness".
Those who suffer from it fail to recognize the faces, sometimes even familiar faces.
The comedian, who has not been officially diagnosed, says the disorder often causes him problems socially.
He has explained that he could not remember the people he met, especially at parties and that he then seemed to many full of himself or snob.
Brad Pitt admits that yet he tries to remember the people he meets, without success, which he felt ashamed of.
"No one believes me when I say that. I would like to meet someone who also suffers from this!" he said during his interview.
What is prosopagnosia?
This rather rare neurological disorder affects between 2 and 2.5% of the world's population.
It can appear at a very young age and lasts a lifetime. This is then called congenital prosopagnosia.
There is also progressive prosopagnosia which evolves over time, often due to a neurodegenerative problem.
Finally, people who have had a stroke, concussion or brain tumor may suffer from "learned" prosopagnosia.
In a 2019 study published by BMC Psychology, a woman explained to German psychologists that it does not It had "never occurred to her" that she could recognize people by their faces.

Lee is new King 5 meteorologist
December 20, 2013 By Northwest Asian Weekly
By Sue Misao
Mary Lee loves weather. She is especially passionate about extreme weather. She even moved to Texas just to be near severe thunderstorms, hurricanes, and flash flooding. "I've experienced golf-ball sized hail and flew into the eye of a hurricane," she said, as if that's a good thing.
For Lee, it's all good. Since Sept. 30, she has been a KING 5 TV meteorologist, forecasting the weather on weekend mornings and most weekdays.
Lee, a California native, graduated from UC Davis before heading into Texas storms. She is happy to have landed in Seattle, where she can be near family (her father is a retired mechanical engineer from the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton). She says Pacific Northwest climate and topography is every bit as interesting as Texas.
"There are more winter storms here," she said. "It's changing all the time." Lee spends her days looking at different weather models, reading satellite and radar imagery, studying various analyses and observations, and "crunching calculations."
Lee, who is Chinese American, takes pride in her Asian background. "It can be tough sometimes," she said. "There are stereotypes for Asian Americans, but I think most people just see me as myself."
Lee isn't alone in her passion for extremes. Her mother, Kwong Yem Han, is a calligraphist, but not just any calligraphist. "She's the Queen of the Big Brush," said Lee. "She's the only woman in the world who studied [in Beijing] under the King of the Big Brush." Big Brush means a paintbrush that is three feet tall. "You roll out rice paper and do a dance while painting on it," Lee explained. Also, swords are involved.
Lee is enjoying life in Seattle in the expected way. "I love the food," she said. "I love seafood, Asian food, the vibe of the city. It's a really cool place with a big Asian American community." (end)

The new-build city will rival similar cities such as Dubai and Abu-Dhabi, and will be one of the most vibrant and desirable locations in East Africa. Structurally sound and sustainably engineered, a bounding wall, known as the Great Wall of Lagos, will separate the new city from the sea beyond, and a 24/7 power supply will facilitate all of the residents' needs around the clock.
As part of the new development, accommodation for over 400,000 residents will be provided as part of the residential side of the project. Offering additional housing for dwellers in Nigeria's capital city, which is currently suffering from a housing shortage, a mix of short and long term apartments, houses and condos will be available across a broad pricing spectrum, making potential residents a priority for the new island. The Marina District will not only provide business opportunities and commercial spaces, but also residences and hotels. A number of new hotels are planned within the scheme, including a 500-key new-build 4 star hotel and resort that will feature a wellness centre and business and conference facilities. Residences and hotels will be situated on the Azuri Peninsula overlooking the marina and benefiting from idyllic views across the waterfront and cultivating a world of "effortlessly luxurious living". The first of these hotels and residences are set to open this year.
Development of an iconic first class mixed use corporate destination on about 20,000m2 property. The facility comprises a 1st class office space as the cornerstone use, hotel, short stay apartments, luxury apartments, supporting retail space, leisure and entertainment facilities.
Located in the heart of Ikeja with close proximity to Murtala Muhammed International Airport, this hotel offers multiple exciting F&B destinations and a 800 persons ballroom with meeting and conference facilities.

Performance Art Gets Political at Eva International Ahead of the Abortion Referendum
"What we really want to do is give people hope." Members of the Artists' Campaign to Repeal the Eighth Amendment process through the streets in Limerick, Ireland. Words by Holly Black
"A licence to kill", "babies will die" and "abortion never" are just a few of the statements that scream from street posters and motorway billboards as I make my way into the city of Limerick for Eva International, the city's contemporary art biennial which is on show until 8 July. The rhetoric is coupled with images of foetuses in utero and new-borns. The hard-hitting scene demonstrates the divisive politics that continue to surround women's reproductive rights, which are reaching fever pitch in the run-up to the Eighth Amendment referendum on 25 May. This controversial legislation, which came into being in 1983, gives the foetus the same rights as the mother. This means that a woman has no right to a termination under any circumstances, even in cases of rape, incest and foetal abnormalities. The country remains the only European nation with such severe laws and has come under mounting pressure from pro-choice activists to hold the referendum, despite vehement opposition from the Catholic church and Right to Life groups.
Considering the timing of this historic event, it comes as no surprise that Eva International has approved a proposal from the Artists' Campaign to Repeal the Eighth Amendment. They are to create an archival exhibition of material surrounding their campaign, and to perform a "processing protest", designed to raise awareness. The group, set up by Cecily Brennan, Alice Maher, Eithne Jordan and Paula Meehan, has campaigned to share resources and testimonials ahead of the referendum.
"This is a live campaign, it's not just pretend. We do this all the time, and we'll be waiting to hear the results during the exhibition," says Alice Maher, as she stands among the brightly-coloured banners designed specifically for the procession, which is to take place the following day. "We are inspired by union banners; by things that people brought into the streets to show their support for something. What we really want to do is give people hope. This was also a huge confraternity area and there's a history of the confraternities marching as a way of controlling the young men in the city; women weren't allowed to join. The procession is part of reclaiming the streets."
"The procession is part of reclaiming the streets."
Rachel Fallon explains the ethos of the performance, which is a far cry from the usual associations found in foreign political rallies. "The whole idea of a procession is that it is a very performative event. It will be more or less silent apart from a chant that we have. It is not a march or a demonstration. It's actually quite a quiet and elegant procession… We're starting at the Limerick School of Art and Design, which used to be a Magdalene laundry." This was the name given to institutions that incarcerated "fallen women" from the eighteenth to early twentieth century, and were the subject of national scandal following the discovery of mass graves.
Fallon goes on to reveal the complex health issues surrounding the Eighth, which are often unknown to the Irish public, let alone anyone overseas. "I found the largest problem, to a certain extent, is that people didn't understand the ramifications of the Eighth Amendment. It is not only an abortion issue. It has to do with women's healthcare. There are a lot of consent issues, so if you are pregnant and you want to give birth in a certain way, a doctor can override that if they believe the baby's life could be at risk, and you have no right to contest them. You also lose you agency if you have cancer. You have to have a test before certain treatments, because if you are pregnant and the treatment could harm the foetus, they will stop it. The moment you become pregnant, you lose your bodily autonomy."
""The whole idea of a procession is that it is a very performative event. It will be more or less silent apart from a chant that we have."
It begins with several enormous figures dressed in black, followed by the beautiful handmade banners that recall the aesthetics of those used by the Orange Order, as well as the suffragette movement. A group of women dressed in mourning veils are playing and singing a sorrowful song. After several rows of performance artists, other supporters gather with signs emblazoned with a red "X" through a figure of eight.
Surprisingly, the procession takes place with a fairly minimal police escort and no significant road closures. This seems to work in its favour, as passers-by and casual shoppers stop to stare at the marchers as they stride through the city centre. It is a notably bold move as so many remain in favour of the Eighth, but if its mission is to raise awareness, this seems to do the trick. Most members of the public seem quizzical, though more than a few stand in solidarity of the group at various intersections.
What strikes me is the overall power that the notable silence creates. A group of dancers move swiftly and quietly through a series of movements, often facing directly onto the pavement with arms crossed, and even the final sign-wielding crowd stays mute. The frisson in the air is palpable, and bristling displeasure stands in the place outright heckling. When I am asked by an elderly woman what all this is in aid of, I choose my words carefully, simply stating "the Eighth". "Oh… I see," she replies, with a strict poker face.
As an outsider, the whole event is fascinating but more than a little unnerving. As I cross the road to continue alongside the procession's final stretch, a group of men in their mid-thirties stop to consider the event. "You know, I'm all for the cause," says one of them, with a shrug, "but all of this art stuff is a bit much."

Is the MediFund criteria a secret?
We refer to media reports about the time saving benefits offered for staff of SingHealth by the One Medifund scheme.
The medical healthcare group also shared that the new system has saved patients many trips shuttling between health institutions, medical social workers and pharmacies.
All subsidised patients who can't pay can apply for MediFund?
In our volunteer work doing financial counselling over the last decade or so, we have come across hundreds of cases whereby patients were unable to get help from MediFund when they could not pay for their medical bills at public health institutions.
So, what is the criteria for approving MediFund?
You cannot be a Class A or B1 patient (which means that you cannot be referred for treatment by a private clinic as then you would not be eligible for Class C or B2 treatment). It does not matter that you may have ended up in B1 because there were no beds available or you couldn't wait for months as a subsidised patient to get a diagnostic test, operation or treatment.
You cannot be staying in a private property. It does not matter whether you are staying in a private property because the owner is kind enough to let you stay when you have no money and no assets yourself.
You must not have more than a few thousand dollars in your bank accounts . The last we heard about this amount was around $4,000.
"A flexible and compassionate approach towards applicants"?
Instead of saying "They (MediFund Committee Members) are familiar with the needs and problems faced by lower-income Singaporeans, and will adopt a flexible and compassionate approach towards applicants" – why can't the basic criteria for MediFund be disclosed to the public?
We also understand that the MediFund quantum allocated to each MediFund-approved institution is different – which they may have to allocate accordingly to last the whole year?
The MediFund applications success rate of 99% and over 500,000 approved applications in a year may be quite meaningless, unless we know the patients (not applications) rejection rate, as well as those who may be told that they don't even need to apply because they don't meet one of the basic eligibility criteria.


Another Filipino actress that will be featured and discussed with her biography is Erika Padilla that we can currently watch as Gigi in Kambal Sirena by GMA Network.

Her father is General Ricardo Ilagan Padilla.
Looking at the beginning of Erika's career, she joined the Miss Bikini Philippines pageant wherein she won the Miss Photogenic award. During that time, Wowowee was popular on television and she got the chance to be one of the guests of the show. That was also the time when she met Johnny Manahan that made a way for her to audition to Star Magic. Aside from being a member of the Star Magic batch 16, she was also engaged in modeling that got her to the Metro magazine's top 10 models of the Philippines – such a fame and victory for Erika. Well, though Erika entered showbiz, she has a degree. In fact, she graduated Political Science in Ateneo de Manila University.
Erika Padilla for a short period of time is successful in both in the television and movie industry.

Currently, she is signed with TV5 aside from being a courtside reporter of PBA, she is also a co-host backstage in the Killer Karaoke: Pinoy Nga Naman. The said show's host is Michael V. There are so many opportunities for Erika in the near future.

Eskil, Arquebisbe de Lund (Lund, Escandinàvia vers el 1100 - Abadia de Claravall, 1181) fou el segon arquebisbe de Lund.

Era fill del poderós noble Christian Svendsen, germà del primer arquebisbe de Lund, Asser. Als dotze fou enviat a l'escola de la catedral de Hildesheim, i allà durant una malaltia, tingué una visió de la Verge Santíssima, la qual després de reprendre la seva vida dissoluta, li retornà la salut. Tornat a Dinamarca fou nomenat, el 1131, prebost de la catedral de Lund, i el 1134 bisbe de Roskilde i després de la mort del seu oncle Asser, el 1137, el succeí en la cadira metropolitana de Lund.

Del papa Innocenci II va rebre el tali per mitjà del legat cardenal Teodigno, el qual restà present en el sínode provincial de Lund el 1139. Eskil acabà la nova catedral, que tingué la satisfacció de consagrar el 1145; amb aquesta ocasió augmentà les rendes i membres del capítol catedralici i millorà l'escola de la mateixa. A l'activitat d'Eskil es degué una gran i general millora en tota la vida eclesiàstic-religiosa de la nació; la seva encertada elecció de les persones que havien d'ocupar els elevats càrrecs de l'hierarquia fou profitosa en gran manera.

El 1161 redactà un codi de dret canònic per l'Escània, que 10 anys més tard s'introduí a Seeland. Fomentà en gran manera la vida monàstica, sobretot l'orde cistercenca, que llavors començava a florir sota la direcció de Sant Bernat. Sent bisbe de Roskilde cridà els benedictins a Noestred; més tard fundà el monestir dels premonstratencs a Tommerup, i en el seu temps s'establiren els cavallers de Sant Joan de Lund. Fracassà, però, una temptativa d'implantar els cartoixans a Seeland. Als cistercencs els edificà un monestir a Herivadum i un altra a Earom; d'aquestes dues cases naixeren altres diversos convents de l'orde. Eskil mantenia correspondència epistolar amb Sant Bernat, i en una visita que li va fer el 1152 instà al sant perquè l'admetés entre els seus fills, al qual, però s'hi negà Sant Bernat vist el gran fruit de l'activitat episcopal d'Eskil.

Tingué d'intervenir amb freqüència en els negocis temporals del regne, en aquells temps tant turbulents, i a ell degué en gran manera el rei Erik III el fet de conservar la seva corona contra el seu rival Olaf. El 1147, en arribar a Dinamarca l'exhortació d'Eugeni III per a la croada, fou Eskil el que aconseguí pactar una treva entre els dos pretendents a la corona, després de la mort d'Erik III, Svend Eriksen i Kund Magnusson, els quals junts emprengueren una campanya contra els pagans wends; malgrat tot, l'expedició fracassà per manca d'unitat entre els dos prínceps, el causà molta congoixa a l'arquebisbe, de les que li donà consol Sant Bernat.

Més endavant el 1168 en el regnat de Valdemar I, es retornà a la lluita que acabà feliçment amb la conquesta de Rügen, fortalesa principal dels wends. En mans d'Eskilo deixà el legat Nicholas Breakspeare (més tard Papa Adrià IV) el tali que havia portat per l'arquebisbe de Suècia, però que no havia pogut conferir per no avenir-se entre si els suecs per la vila en que s'havia d'erigir la cadira arquebisbal. Més endavant el 1164 durant la seva estada a Sens, Eskil conferí al monjo Esteve, primer arquebisbe d'Uppsala; amb tot, encara després de l'elecció d'aquest arquebisbe, va romandre Eskil, per disposició del Papa, primet de Suècia i legat pontifici del Nord.

És la gran lluita que va haver de sostenir Alexandre III contra l'antipapa Víctor IV, el rei Valdemar s'inclinà al cantó d'aquest, el qual provoca una ruptura entre ell i Eskil, el qual abandonà la seva pàtria, durant el seu desterrament més de set anys, que passà principalment a Claravall i Sens, prop del legítim pontífex. Efectuada una reconciliació entre Valdemar i Alexandre, Eskil tornà a la seva seu, i després de la solemne translació de les relíquies del duc màrtir  Knud Lavard, pare de Valdemar I, coronà al seu fill, que tan sols contava set anys (1170).

Tants èxits però, no pogueren extingir el desig del venerable prelat d'abraçar la vida monàstica; el seu cor estava sempre a Claravall; allà hom el torna a trobar el 1174/76, i per fi, després de repetides instàncies, assoli del pontífex romà el permís de renunciar al seu arquebisbat i el dret de designar al seu successor. Ho efectuà el 1177 en presencia del rei, gran nombre de prelats i immens concurs del poble en la catedral de Lund; deposità les seves insígnies damunt l'altar, i amb universal assentiment designà al bisbe Absaló de Roskilde com el seu successor.

Després es retirà a Claravall, on morí el 6 o 7 de setembre de 1181; els cistercencs l'honoren com a venerable. Baró dels més notables que ha tingut l'Església d'Escandinàvia, de solida pietat, gelós pel bé de les ànimes i prosperitat de la pàtria i valent defensor dels drets de l'església.

Eduard is the third company to produce PE sets for Dragon's 1/35 kits, after Lion Roar and Part. Eduard produces as many as six sets; three for 60 cm gun kits (6179, 6179X) and another three for the 54 cm gun kit (6181).
When compared with Lion Roar's and PART's, Eduard's sets have more parts than the others. However, it does not necessarily means Eduard's sets includes all the parts Lion Roar and PART can offer. Depending on which part of Dragon's kits you would like to update, you may find PART's set sufficient.
This PE set updates the main part of 60 cm gun kits (6179, 6179X). It includes tool clamps, details in driver's compartment, the instrument panel, handles, chains, fender supports, light guard, bottom details for the shell, and many others.
Although this set is intended for the 60 cm gun kits, it can also be used for the 54 cm gun kit (6181), However, as the kit 6181 already has several PE parts, some parts in this set may be redundant.
This PE set updates foldable floors in Dragon's 60 cm gun kits (6179, 6179X). As an added bonus, it has a PE plate with small holes to produce rivets out of heated spurs.
Although this set is intended for the 60 cm gun kits, it can also be used for the 54 cm gun kit (6181), as there is no difference between the two kits regarding the foldable floors.
A detail-up set for foldable railings in Dragon's 60 cm gun kits (6179, 6179X). It includes hinges, rivets, base of railings, and fastening belts for railings.
Although this set is intended for the 60 cm gun kits, it can also be used for the 54 cm gun kit (6181), as there is no difference between the two kits regarding railing parts.
The PE set from PART also includes similar parts. But, this Eduard's set has more parts and details.
This set is for Dragon's 54 cm gun Karl (Geraet 041) kit (6181), and is basically the same as the set "35568 Moerser Karl 60cm" for the 60 cm gun Karl kits (6179, 6179X). The difference between the two sets is that 35645 includes few strips to fasten long exhaust pipes in the 54 cm gun kit. The rest is exactly the same.
A detail-up sets for foldable railings in the 54 cm gun kit (6181). It is exactly the same as "35632 Moerser Karl Railing", while it has a different product number and name.
A detail-up sets for foldable floors in the 54 cm gun kit (6181). It is exactly the same as "35628 Moerser Karl floor plate", while it has a different product number and name.
This is the PE set for Trumpeter 1/35 kit. Less than one third of the included parts are common with Eduard's PE sets for Dragon kits, 35568 Moerser Karl 60cm and 35645 Moerser Loki 54 cm, as the Trumpeter kit has its own PE parts and it is quite different from the Dragon's offering.
The set consists of tool clamps, rifling thread, chains, and other small parts.
This set adds details to Hasegawa 1/72 Karl kits. Eduard appears to have used their own PE sets for Dragon 1/35 Karl as a guide, and added some bits specific to Hasegawa's kits. Although this set is intended for Hasegawa's "No.33 Karl with Munitionpanzer IV" kit, it may be used with "No.32 Moerser Karl" (on railway transport cars) if you modify foldable floor parts.
Overall impression is good. However, it should be noted that this PE set will NOT correct deficiency and mistakes in the Hasegawa's kits; it should be considered that the set will add details to the kits without correcting basic design.
This PE set updates the Munitionpanzer IV for Karl n Hasegawa's kit. It has quite a number of parts for a small vehicle like the Munitionpanzer IV. It even entirely replaces the rear ammunition compartment walls with PE parts. Lids for the ammunition compartment, which are not reproduced in Hasegawa's kit, are also included. Other parts include fenders, tool clamps. This set basically supplies what was missing in the original kit, and does NOT necessarily correct all the faults in the kit.
This PE set adds details to railway transport cars in Hasegawa's kit. It does NOT have any parts for Karl itself, though its product name may give you impression otherwise. The base of the crane arms, which are somewhat inaccurately represented in Hasegawa's kit, will get considerable number of parts, although the PE parts may look too thin, and may not be able to express "massive" appearance of the crane base sufficiently.
The set can be used with both Hobby Boss #82904 "Moerser Karl-Geraet 040/041 Initial Version", and #82905 "Moerser Karl-Geraet 040/041 Late Version". It is very similar to the set #22059 for Hasegawa 1/72 kits. Although it is not explicitly explained in the instruction sheet, you can build "folded" work decks along the superstructure of Karl, out of this PE set. It is useful, as the Hobby Boss kits have these decks molded in the "unfolded" position.
LE35017 WWII German "Karl" LE35017 WWII German "Karl"
This is the first PE set produced for Dragon's 60 cm gun kits (6179). It consists of rifling lines, tool clamps, the driver's instrument panel, chains, fender supports, bottom details for the shell, and others.
While there some parts, such as chains, for which there are no corresponding injection parts in Dragon's kits, the main aim of this PE set appears to be replacing inadequate existing injection parts, which are too thick or too simplistic. Lion Roar could have done more to include parts to add details, as there are a number of missing details in Dragon's kits.
In addition, the bottom detail for the shell does not look much like the real shell, anti-skit pattern on a small foot step on the side of the cradle is simply wrong, fastening belt of the exhaust pipe has wrong shape as Dragon's kit. All in all, it seems that Lion Roar rushed this set into the market without doing adequate research on the real vehicle. As this set is relatively cheap, you may be opted to purchase. But, you may later want to buy another set from other manufactures to enhance you model.
Although this set is intended for Dragon's 60 cm gun kit (6179), it can also be used for the 54 cm gun kit (6181), However, as the kit 6181 already has several PE parts, some parts in this set may be redundant. It should also be noted Dragon's newer 60 cm gun kit (6179X) has this PE set already included.
This PE set is for Dragon's 60 cm gun kits (6179, 6179X). It came out after Lion Roar's product, and is more comprehensive than Lion Roar's.
The set includes rifling lines, tool clamps, the driver's instrument panel, chains, fender supports, rivets, bolts, bottom details for the shell, hinges and details for foldable railings, light guard, wiring lines on the gun, and other parts.
Detail parts for railings are very welcome, as they are one of the weak points in Dragon's kits. While the real vehicle certainly has even more details than PART's set offers, it does not necessarily mean PART's set is insufficient. Maybe PART's set is just about adequate.
In contrast, it is disappointing to see some parts are not quite accurate rendition of real things; PART may have used inaccurate Dragon's parts as template to design them.
Although this set is intended for Dragon's 60 cm gun kits (6179, 6179X), it can also be used for the 54 cm gun kit (6181), However, as the kit 6181 already has several PE parts, some parts in this set may be redundant.
Royal Model is the forth company to provide update sets for Dragon's 1/35 Karl kits, after Lion Roar, Eduard, and Part. Royal Model's products often includes resin parts as well as PE parts, if thin metal material is not considered suitable. These update sets for Karl are not exception. The set 357 consists of 26 resin parts and a sheet of PE parts, while the set 356 has PE parts only. Royal Model appears to have done good amount of research, and it resulted in nicely produced these two update sets.
The first set from Royal Model completely replaces foldable floor deck. It also includes various small details for rails, exhaust pipes, and the gun cradle. Eduard and PART also have the foldable floor deck parts. But, Royal Model's parts look most impressive, while it may be most tedious to assemble... It should also be noted that Royal Model appears to have done homework very well, and its result looks more accurate than other update sets, many of which tend to mimic inaccurate injection parts, without correcting their fault.
The second set provides the loading tray, tool clamps, driver's instrument panel, grill mesh, hinges, and other small details in PE and resin parts. Among these, the loading tray is the highlight of the set. As there are lots to be desired for the loading tray in the Dragon's kits, replacement tray parts can be THE reason to purchase this set. However, its accuracy shouldn't be taken for granted. It is possible that Royal Model designed these parts in order just to fit the Dragon's kits.

Per federal regulations, B-1 and B-2 nonimmigrants (i.e., visitors who are in the United States for business and pleasure purposes) are prohibited from enrolling in a course of study at a U.S. Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP)-certified school.
If you are a B-1 or B-2 nonimmigrant and wish to study at a U.S. school, you must file a Form I-539, "Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status," with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to change to either an F-1 or M-1 status and pay the required fee and include the required documents listed in the instructions.
While your Form I-539 is pending, you must maintain your B-1 or B-2 status and cannot enroll in your SEVP-certified program until USCIS approves your change of status request. Enrolling in a course of study as a B-1 or B-2 nonimmigrant, prior to receiving authorization, will result in a status violation and ineligibility to extend your B status or change to F-1 or M-1 status in the future.
If USCIS has not adjudicated your change of status at least 15 days before the program start date on your Form I-20, "Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status," contact the designated school official at your new school as you may need to defer your attendance to a later start date.
USCIS may only approve your Form I-539 change of status request if you are maintaining your B-1/B-2 status up to 30 days before your program's initial start date. This means that under certain circumstances, you may need to file a second Form I-539, with a separate fee, to request an extension of your B-1 or B-2 status. Because extending your current stay in B-1 or B-2 status and changing from B-1 or B-2 to F-1 or M-1 status are two distinct benefits, you must pay a separate filing fee for each request.

Students do not give up their individual liberties when they enter the classroom. They are entitled to rights to practice religion in school according to their individual freedoms.
Every year, we see this right to religion in school exemplified in the See You At the Pole (SYATP) celebration, where students gather around the flagpole before classes start to pray for the school, our Nation, and other issues. Almost every year, we hear stories of students being denied their rights to practice their religion in this way at school, so we reach out to the schools to educate them on students' rights regarding SYATP. These arguments would also defend students right to religion in school for other matters, as well, such as starting up a Bible club on campus. The facts are these:
First, public schools may not disallow students from using school facilities during non- curricular times because of the students' religious viewpoint. See Good News Club v. Miford Central School,533 U.S. 98, 120-121 (2001). Further, under Morse v. Frederick, 127 U.S 2618, 2620-2621 (2007), students have a right to express their faith on campus so long as it does not "materially and substantially disrupt the work and discipline of the school," and as long as the school officials do not have a compelling interest to prohibit the speech, such as discouraging drug use. While the Supreme Court did hold that student-led public prayer over a football game speaker system violated the Establishment Clause because the prayer occurred publicly at a school-sponsored game and could be viewed as school endorsement of religion, "there is a crucial difference between government speech endorsing religion, which the Establishment Clause forbids, and private speech endorsing religion, which the Free Speech and Free Exercise Clauses ptotect." Santa Fe Independent Sch. Dist.,530 U.S. 313, 302 (2000).
Since SYATP is not occurring over the loudspeaker of a school-sponsored activity like a school football game, since SYATP is entirely student-sponsored and student-led, and since students participating in SYATP gather to express pure speech during the non-curricular time of 7:00 AM and are not promoting a harmful activity such as drug use, the students have a right to gather for SYATP.
Second, students have a right to tell other students about SYATP by word of mouth during school hours. This right may not be infringed unless the student "materially and substantially disrupt[s] the work and discipline of the school," such as a student using speech to promote drug use, Morse v. Frederick.
Further, schools may only put time manner and place restrictions on students advetising SYATP to the extent that they restrict othetr students' secular advertisements. This means that if a school allows secular groups to advertise by using the school-wide announcement system, school bulletin boards, or other school facilities, the school must give students advertising for SYATP access to the same facilities. If the school refuses to give students seeking to advertise SYATP equal access to their facilities, the school commits viewpoint discrimination and violates the Constitution.
At Advocates for Faith & Freedom, we aggressively defend our students' fundamental right to religious freedom in school. Please contact us with any questions you might have.

What if you were told that in about two years, you could have a robot chef cooking for you? You would probably imagine a droid-looking machine with a little chef hat on its head.
That's not quite what Moley Robotics, the company who is developing this new technological leap, has accomplished. Moley Robotics has developed a pair of high-tech robotic arms (destined to be built into the appropriate kitchen). By the time they hit the market, the robotic arms will be able to make almost 2,000 world-renowned chef level dishes.The dish that has been demonstrated so far is a Crab Bisque made by Tim Anderson, the 2011 winner of Master Chef.
How the automated kitchen system will work is something like this; the user will be able to select a dish from their phone, and the system will begin to prepare it. Most robotic systems use code to determine their actions, but in this particular case, the creators wanted to give the food undeniable high quality, matching the level of skilled human chefs, like Gordon Ramsay, for example. This movement similarity is achieved by using a 3D camera to record a real chef preparing the food and then converting the motions into algorithms to be recreated by the robotic unit.
The robotic hands, which are notoriously difficult to create, use 20 motors, 24 joints and 129 sensors to create the same range of movements that a human hand can make. This is not the first robotic system to have been created for culinary purposes, but the creators claim it's the first ever fully automated kitchen set-up.
