Biography Steven Berkoff, born Leslie Steven Berks in Stepney, London, on 3 August 1937, is arguably the most influential figures in shaping modern theatre. The actor, author, playwright and theatre director belonged to a family of Russian-Jewish background, and therefore added the ‘off’ back to the end of his name and opted to go by his middle name. Berkoff had a troubled childhood and often felt like he didn’t get what he wanted and in 1952 he was sentenced to a stint in borstal for stealing a bike. He used theatre as an escape. Following more training at the Webber Douglas School of Drama, he worked extensively in repertory theatre in England and Scotland - doing every job from understudy to stage management. In 1968 he formed his own company, the London Theatre Group. Through mime, gymnastics and voice, the Group liberated themselves from the conventions of mainstream theatre and started to evolve an innovative, more integrated theatrical language. Berkoff's encounter with the mime artist Jacque le Coq in Paris was seminal in this. Steven Berkoff's plays include East, West, Sink the Belgrano, Decadence, Kvetch, Acapulco, Ritual in Blood, Oedipus and many more. In film, Berkoff has acted in a variety of movie roles such as the corrupt art dealer Victor Maitland in Beverly Hills Cop, gangster George Cornell in The Krays, the Soviet officer Colonel Podovsky in Rambo: First Blood Part II, and General Orlov in the James Bond film Octopussy. Berkoff has stated that he accepts…

that each of you really tries the experiment with the marbles. I do it at least twice a year to remind me of burdens I choose to carry. The truth is there is no right or wrong answer because forgiveness is a choice and it happens in different degrees. No one can force you to forgive and some may even say that forgiveness is a dangerous step. Maybe these little worksheets and exercises will help you form your own…

Didax Publishing, page 26. The probe will first be probing for the student’s ability to see part-whole number relationships. For each of the students I started off with the number 6 because it was a number in…

Student strategy: Student A starts by drawing 11 circles, which is what I saw. When asked to explain what he did, he said that he first drew 2 circles and then 9 more. He then added them together by counting them all to get 11 pennies, which is the answer. When solving the problem, he adds them by counting from 1 to 11, and he seems to have drawn 2 circles and then 9 more, following the time sequence. However, I never saw him count 2, 9, and then all of them, I only saw him count 1 to 11.…

English I only went to the volleyball game to watch my brother. There are boys everywhere. Is that boy looking at me, how do I look? Did I remember to brush my hair this morning?

In turn, the understaffing problem can be at least partially attributed to lack of funding. Almost everyone pays a “9-1-1 service fee” as part of their phone bill. This money is then used to help fund 911 dispatch centers. Except this is not necessarily true. “The FCC’s fee reports show that since 2008, at least 20 states [including California] have diverted those dollars elsewhere. . . New York state, which has seen multiple breakdowns in its 9-1-1 systems, took in over $185 million dollars in…

Instead, we drive to work 1-2 hours away, to wait for shifts of up to 14 hours overnight. This takes us away from our families and homes, and as a result sometimes extending the 14 hour shift to a “back-to-back” shift lasting up to 38 hours. More often than not, these shifts are accepted in hopes of increasing our chances of making a living. Sometimes this practice causes the an ambulance to go down due to paramedic fatigue, and one less resource is able to respond to your emergency as a…
