In The Saint, Kilmer plays Simon Templar, a professional thief known as “The Saint” for using Catholic saints as aliases. He steals a microchip from a Russian oil company but is caught by the owner's son. He is then hired by the owner, a billionaire oligarch named Tretiak, to steal a cold fusion formula discovered by Emma Russell, an American chemist. Tretiak plans to use the formula to monopolize the Russian energy market. Once he obtains the formula, he also plans to kill Simon.Simon seduces Emma but falls for her. He abandons his plan to steal from her until Tretiak threatens to kidnap her. At this point the plot becomes a little convoluted to me but here's what I think happens.Simon does end up stealing the formula but when analyzed, Tretiak finds that it is useless to him. His plan now is to sell the incomplete formula to the Russian president and then attack him for spending billions on worthless technology, using the resulting chaos to make himself president. Emma finishes the formula, Simon delivers it to a scientist who hopes to use it for good, and in a confrontation in Red Square, Tretiak is exposed as a fraud when it becomes clear that the formula works. Emma and Simon reunite, they start a relationship and it is revealed that Simon has donated billions to charity using money from Tretiak's accounts. All ends well!The taglines for The Saint were “A man without a name, can never be identified. A man who doesn't exist, can never be caught. A man who doesn't love, can never truly be alive.” And “Never reveal your name. Never turn your back. Never surrender your heart.”You can find The Saint to stream on demand on Amazon Prime or for rent or purchase on Amazon and Apple TV.The Saint was released on April 4, 1997, so let's check out the New York Times for that day.Don't forget our Patreon, where we watch the films of the Cold War and try to unpack them as political and historical documents!

Today New Zealand launches a new health system replacing 20 district health boards with a national body - Health NZ - in a bid to end postcode lottery. Health reporter Emma Russell talks to a bowel cancer patient, a hospital anaesthetist and a GP about the changes.Roz Tuitama's bowel cancer should've been picked up at least two years earlier.Our country's health system let her down.In 2015, the 57-year-old was rushed to Auckland City Hospital's ED with severe bleeding.Doctors said it was a digestive problem and sent her home, said Tuitama, a Māngere primary school assistant principal."You don't question the system ... I trusted them."By 2016 her symptoms hadn't gone away. Tuitama said she'd had several GP appointments before she was referred to a specialist for a colonoscopy, which involves a camera inserted through the anus to inspect the bowel.She waited another year for the colonoscopy. By then it was too late, the cancer had spread to her liver."Getting told you have cancer was like a movie. It went into slow motion, I was with my husband and I just said to the doctor, 'Can you say that again?'"From there, she was on "a treadmill of the cancer beast machine". She had surgery to remove a third of her colon and endured 12 rounds of chemotherapy over six months.However, her cancer continued to spread through her lungs and liver. She had more treatment, then the disease came back for the third time. Now, she's "in the clear" but it's likely the cancer will return."It's been five years of cancer ... the impact is devastating to say the least. I had to stop work ... so all of that kicks in, on top of your children being told, 'Your mother's got stage four cancer'."The eldest-of-nine was urged to get her family checked. Her little sister, who was in her 40s, also discovered she had cancer."She was caught earlier ... she wouldn't have been picked up if I wasn't already in the system," Tuitama said.There were many ways Tuitama's cancer could've been detected earlier, she said."The thing about me being a Samoan woman, there's an assumption that it's my fault that I've got this, that stigma of Pasifika, Māori, 'Why don't they look after themselves', that's not the case. You need to look at the inequities that exist because of where our people are placed."If you are going to provide access, make the language understandable, I'm not just talking about just in terms of ethnic languages, I'm talking about everyday language like 'stage four'."The system didn't speak to Tuitama so she started a support group called Alofawholeness for people facing cancer."I'm an educated woman and I couldn't navigate the system."GP not sold on 'new system'Auckland GP Marcia Walker said major change was needed to address the country's "healthcare crisis" and she wasn't convinced this "new system" would fix it."They're funding a bandaid on a haemorrhage that's been going for the last decade, and then asking us to try to keep the patient alive with just more band aids. No, no, if you're talking about system reform, do it properly ... primary care is now at that point where we are falling over," Walker said."That's translating to increased pressure at EDs and even worse wait times and patient harm and we knew this was going to happen."She said government funding needed to be taken from hospitals and given to GPs and community care."It's a bold move but right now we are just tinkering with more of the same sh** ... If you invest in community care, you'll save money spent on hospitals.""All the average New Zealander cares about is can they get into their doctor in a timely fashion? Can they get their referrals done quickly if they need them? Can they get their X-rays and ultrasounds done quickly, if they need them? Those are things that are important, and I'm not sure that any of that is going to be addressed...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand's nurses are not happy. They feel overworked, underpaid and frustrated by the lack of support from decision makers.  Now, with large offers coming out of Australia, many are considering moving abroad for the promise of more money and a better quality of life.  So is New Zealand doing enough to hold onto this essential workforce? Or are we sleepwalking our way into a national health crisis?   Today, NZ Herald health reporter Emma Russell joins Damien for a discussion about the growing strain on New Zealand's nurses.    Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts.

The nation’s health system is failing women, often making them feel like their illness is a figment of their imagination. Women are sometimes suffering for years longer than they should be, and this oversight ends up costing the healthcare system millions of extra dollars. So how did we get to this point? And more importantly, how do we improve women’s healthcare? Today, NZ Herald health reporter Emma Russell joins Damien to talk about how women are suffering within a broken system.

Vaping brands arrived in New Zealand under the auspices of helping Kiwis quit smoking. They've also contributed to hooking an entirely new generation on nicotine, as vape stores have became ubiquitous. Although vaping is believed to be less damaging then smoking, it still has repercussions for health, some of which are still being discovered. As New Zealand moves closer to its goals of a smokefree nation, are we trading the devil we know well for the demon we don't?

Image Source: abc.net.au 18/12/2019In this episode, we discuss bail laws in the criminal justice system and how these connect to social inequality, especially in relation to gender and race.Remember the public outcry in recent times about violent men out on bail committing even more violent crimes? The government responded by introducing tougher bail laws. But has this tough approach created the desired effect? Or has something else been the upshot?This episode focusses on the increasing percentage of women, especially First Nations women, being placed in custody and how this phenomenon might be connected to toughening of bails laws.Our special guest is LaTrobe University academic, Emma Russell, who is doing research in this area. 

Well it's been a while since I have had on an old Lister friend, which felt like it was becoming a staple of the podcast so today we rectify that with my good friend Emma Russell! Not only is Emma a bad ass rock star but she is also a nurse currently doing a rural nursing stint in her adopted home of Newfoundland! It was great to hear all about where Emma's obsession with Newfie's came from, how her new home is welcoming her as well as her hopes and dreams for the future. We mostly talked music and old stories and catching up on how far her musical journey has come since she first showed me the few songs she could play on guitar all those years ago back in residence. I always knew Emma had a great voice and could shred a piano but since then she has evolved so much as an artist and has really grown into the rockstar she always (loudly) proclaimed herself to be! Check out her Instagram linked below to see her play as well as her band sound system to see some of the live performances we chatted about in the podcast and lastly the novascotibales band Emma speaks so highly of!Emma:  @emmyrussySound System: @soundsystem.bandNova Scotiables: @novascotiables

A Herald investigation into the treatment of female doctors is highlighting sexism and a ‘boys club' culture in our health system.It finds 70% of senior doctors, and leadership roles in our DHBs are filled by men.And people the Herald spoke to say gender bias in the health system can kill when women's symptoms differ from men's and get misdiagnosed.Emma Russell is the Herald reporter who's led this investigation and she told Heather du Plessis- Allan she's heard numerous stories of sexism against female doctors.“Female doctors being told to resign when they get pregnant, being ignored in department meetings, being called aggressive or hormonal when they express strong opinions."LISTEN ABOVE

New Zealand's first MIQ worker to receive the Covid-19 vaccination has spoken of the human cost of working on the frontline battling the deadly virus.Lynette Faiva - who works at the Jet Park managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) centre used for Covid-positive cases - received her jab yesterday as part of the biggest vaccination project in New Zealand history.Shortly after she got her vaccination, health bosses confirmed there were no new community cases, but two more in MIQ facilities.Speaking to media, Faiva revealed how tough working in the pressured - and potentially dangerous - environment had on what should be everyday family life."When I get home I can't hug my family. I have to jump in the shower first, get all my clothes off and put it in the laundry."Those are the things I have to follow through with when I go home because it would absolutely devastate me if I was to take the virus home with me and they would catch it," Faiva said.She said she was going home to tell her family the vaccine was nothing to be afraid of."I didn't feel anything. It was like a small prick. I'm going to tell them it doesn't hurt and it was really easy," Faiva said.She said it was a privilege to be the first to receive the vaccine and was grateful for the opportunity."It was about providing another layer of protection."Another Jet Park staffer who got the jab spoke of the mental toll and stigma attached to working on the frontline.Drew Leafa said the stigma and how they could be victimised by working on the frontline was tough."I love my rugby and I couldn't play last year because I didn't want the team to find out where I was working. I'm aware if you see people coughing and you wear your mask and the stigma you get around that, especially when people find out we are at Jet Park."He said his team were trying to let people know that what they were doing was for the country."We are doing our job to protect all the Kiwis returning home, make them feel welcome and when they leave there that they feel like they are being looked after."It is hard because everywhere you go, you are scanning your QR code, I have sanitiser in my car, I've got sanitiser in my bag. It's being cautious in every way there is to make sure we have to led by example," Leafa said.About 12,000 border and MIQ workers will be vaccinated over the next couple of weeks before their household contacts and then later the remaining general public.Deatils of the wider public roll out, set to start in the second half of the year, was still be finalised.Director general of health Dr Ashley Bloomfield said yesterday's vaccinations marked a significant step forward in the fight against Covid-19."A milestone that protects those at highest risk of getting the virus and helping to reduce the risk of spreading into the community."Bloomfield said New Zealanders need to remember this pandemic is the most significant global public health challenge in a century and management it will require all our efforts for some time to come."Even though vaccinations have begun, it's important everyone stays vigilant and sticks to the basics: staying home if unwell and getting advice about having a test, washing hands and coughing and sneezing into the elbow, and wearing masks or face coverings on all public transport."Dr Nikki Turner at today's press conference. Photo / Brett PhibbsDr Nikki Turner, director of the Immunisation Advisory Centre, said people keep asking her how safe the vaccine was and she wanted to reassure the public it was incredibly safe."We are confident about the safety of this vaccine ... there is nothing to worry about with this vaccine," Turner said.text by Emma Russell, NZ Herald

Founders of a "ground-breaking" new app launching in Auckland today are promising to put New Zealand on the map for providing the best healthcare in the world.It comes after reports of a looming healthcare crisis with nearly half of the country's GPs expected to retire in the next eight years. Since the Covid-19 pandemic hit New Zealand, there have also been multiple reports from health experts saying people are too scared to visit see a doctor.The new digitally-led medical service dubbed Tend, coined from the word 'attention' - to patients and families, hopes to combat that burden by offering virtual and in-clinic consults, immediate access to medical notes, e-perceptions and follow up messaging with qualified doctors.It's the brainchild of Cecilia and James Robinson, the founders of My Food Bag, alongside top public health doctor Mataroria Lyndon and Pushpay's Josh Robb.For the last 18 months the team have developing a service they believe could be the best in the world.Lyndon, Tend's clinical director, said it was more than just video calling, it's the beginning of a transformation in the way primary health care services are delivered in Aotearoa."For too long, primary health care has been designed to work around the health system and not always what works best for patients. This has prevented too many people and whanau from being able to access healthcare when they needed to," Lyndon said.He said this service, which they hope to eventually roll out nationally, would benefit all New Zealanders, especially Maori and Pacifika communities who overall face more barriers to see a GP. It will be available in Te Reo.From today patients can choose a GP or nurse that suits their needs and who they feel they would be most likely to connect with, Lyndon said.There is currently a team of 12 doctors and nurses to choose from but it's hoped that number will expand as the service grows.The company's co-CEO Cecilia Robinson said as a parent she had experienced the frustrating long waits at a GP clinic first hand, and it was part of the reason for developing the app."We want it to be like an uber experience, where you book and pay via the app."Enrolled patients would get their first appointment and repeat prescriptions for free.Community Service Card holders who are enrolled with the service would be seen for $13. For causal patients it would cost $49. Casual repeat prescriptions are charged at only $19.Following registration, users would be able to book a digital appointment with a GP of their choice between 7am – 9pm Monday - Friday, or 8.30am – 4.30pm on the weekend.While many medical needs would be available through virtual consult patients would still need to book in-clinic appointments at Tend's Kingsland clinic for some services.That's something they will be able to do with the touch of a button.Robinson said the app will help combat the looming healthcare crisis because it would allow patients from parts of the country without doctors to have access, and also attract retired medical professionals to re-enter the workforce because they can work from home.The app will also save patients time because they will be waiting at home, rather than in a clinic."As a country, we know we can do better. With advances in technology, we shouldn't be expecting people to have to take time off work, travel across town and sit in a waiting room worried about getting sick for a routine medical appointment," she said."We are going to continue working so hard to make New Zealanders the healthiest people in the world."Text by Emma Russell, NZ Herald

The light-weight nature of timber is unlocking a new type of construction: building extensions on existing building.  The world’s largest timber vertical extension is 55 Southbank Boulevard, which consists of a 10 Storey Hotel situated on top of an existing 1987, seven storey concrete building. To carry the additional loads, the existing building had to undergo significant engineering analysis. In this episode we speak with Emma Russell, a Senior Engineer from WSP about: The works on the existing building, 55 Southbank Boulevard How to strengthen existing buildings to carry additional loads What project teams need to consider to determine if their building has existing capacity to build upon If you enjoyed this episode, I recommend you check out the 55 Southbank Boulevard Webinar with the CLT engineer and builder.

As the two major parties in the New Zealand election continue to argue over their accounting and budgeting skills, I can't help but get more and more concerned about plans to get our health system back on track.Before Covid-19 became a daily headline, our health system was already struggling with a back log of elective procedures, inadequate hospital buildings, regional differences in cancer care, and the growing burden of an aging and growing population.This week Emma Russell wrote in the NZ Herald that nearly half a million Kiwis are believed to be receiving hospital care below the national standard due to a staggering backlog of planned care.Back in April the Cancer Society asked for cancer care to be prioritised. In a Stuff article, Medical Director Dr Chris Jackson was reported as saying a three-month diagnostic delay could result in 400 additional cancer deaths.In August, the Independent Cancer Control Agency released a report measuring the effect of lockdown on cancer diagnosis. It found that even though the majority of cancer treatments continued during lockdown, screening programmes were paused, diagnostic tests and outpatient clinics were scaled back.This is no surprise. We know less people went to the GP, we read stories about people waiting for diagnostic and surgical procedures, and many of us know of someone whose treatment was been postponed even in the latest lockdown.It is a great relief our hospitals are not filled with people suffering from Covid 19, but we are paying a huge price for this.I have no doubt those in the frontline are working heroically to clear the backlog. But their efforts alone won't be enough, especially when we know there are a few more rounds in the COVID battle to come.We need far-sighted policy addressing the fundamental issues facing our health care system. We also need to know the system is robust enough to deal with whatever comes our way in the immediate future. We need to know that someone requiring life-changing or saving treatment will be able to access it.  Philippa Mercer, a general surgeon and chair of NZ National Board of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons this week called for the next government to oversee the development and implementation of a comprehensive health recovery plan that enables, for example, planned operations to continue where possible.I couldn't agree more.The health initiatives – well, the three year ones – currently being released by the political parties focus on correcting the inequity and inequality of the system - dental care, mental health, the size of DHB's, childcare, obesity, border management, and sick leave.These are all really important, but even more important would be their their assurance our national health system is robust enough to deal with what is right around the corner, as well as the future.

(Warning for Spoilers!) Godzilla: King of the Monsters Movie Cast and Brief Synopsis Synopsis: Following the events of 2014's film of Godzilla, approximately five years have passed. Monarch, the organization responsible for studying the Titans, are under pressure to start killing and destroying these Titans. That is until a scientist by the name of Dr. Emma Russell has created a machine that can help control the Titans, dubbed as the Orca. However, her actions are somewhat devious as her purpose for releasing them is to bring somewhat of a fall to man and bring balance back to Earth (with the idea of humans being a "virus" to the Earth). Her husband is roped into chasing her down to help prevent the awakening of the Titans. Along the way, the other worldly Titan King Ghidorah is awakened, but this does not bode well for the humans and Godzilla is forced to step in to help stop this powerful creature. Movie Cast: Kyle Chandler as Dr. Mark Russell Chandler plays a scientist who previously worked for the Monsterverse organization Monarch. He has become an animal communication / behavior specialist. Unfortunately, he gets roped into the film's conflict due to his ex-wife being involved in awakening the Titans.   Vera Farmiga as Dr. Emma Russell The audience eventually finds out that Farmiga's character actually kind of turns out to be the main antagonist of the film. She's the one that wants to awaken the Titans that are either unhatched or in some type of stasis. To do this she needed to team up with Charles Dance's character (at the beginning it looks like Dance kidnaps Farmiga). Of course in the end, she regrets her actions, but much damage had already been done. Millie Bobby Brown as Madison Russell Brown who had previously starred in the popular series Stranger Things, plays the daughter of Chandler and Farmiga's characters. Her character seems like she is torn between which parent to follow, but is ultimately forced to follow her mother most of the film.   Ken Watanabe as Dr. Ishiro Serizawa We here at Force Fed Sci-Fi are a fan of Ken Watanabe and go as far as to bring him up to legendary status, at least in our minds. In any case, Watanabe is one of the few characters that appeared in the 2014 Godzilla movie and his role is reprised in this sequel. We do enjoy his character in both films. Perhaps it's just that he plays a wise and caring character towards the Titans, but I know I had an issue with how much radiation he was exposed to as he sacrificed himself to help heal Godzilla (he should've died early on in that scene as he would not have survived that long). Charles Dance as Alan Jonah Should Dance have been made the main villain? We think so. We think Farmiga's character could have just been that classic scientist that became kidnapped and was forced to release the Titans under the force of Dance's character. However, that's not what we got, apparently it was all Emma Russell's plot. In any case, Dance did a great job and had some of the best lines and delivered them well. Godzilla: King of the Monsters Box Office Performance After being out a little over a month, Godzilla: King of the Monsters box office performance has earned $380 million over a budget of $170 to $200 million. So, the film has made up its budget and has not surpassed that much. We wouldn't call this a success at the box office, but at least it seems like it's going to make a bit...

Story: Fünf Jahre nach dem ersten Auftauchen von Godzilla und den „Muto“ getauften Titanen lebt die Welt in ständiger Angst vor weiteren Urzeit-Monstern. Die Wissenschaftsorganisation Monarch, die sich bislang autark um sämtliche Vorkommnisse rund um die Titanen kümmerte, wird von der Regierung vor die Wahl gestellt: Entweder sie begibt sich unter staatliche Aufsicht, oder Godzilla und alle weiteren bekannten Titanen werden getötet, um weitere Katastrophen zu vermeiden. Dr. Emma Russell hat derweil ein Bio-Sonar-System namens Orca entwickelt, mit dessen Hilfe sie mit den Urzeit-Riesen kommunizieren und ihnen sogar Anweisungen geben kann. Dafür benötigt sie jedoch die jeweils passende Frequenz der Titanen. Das Gerät fällt schließlich in die Hände des Öko-Terroristen Alan Jonah, der Emma und ihre Tochter Madison entführt und sämtliche auf der Erde schlummernden Titanen aufwecken will. Als schließlich Godzillas Erzfeind, der dreiköpfige Drache King Ghidorah aus seinem Schlaf erwacht, bricht die Hölle los…

From BCB... https://www.bestofbcb.org/cafe-50-healthy-youth-and-curiosity/ In this podcast, we hear directly from two of our very own Bainbridge High School students, Emma Russell and Maya Hathan, on how we as parents, teachers and community members help encourage or, in some cases, inhibit the natural curiosity among youth. Why is this so important? According to local developmental psychologist, Marilyn Price Mitchell, “research suggests that intellectual curiosity has as big of an effect on performance as hard work. When put together, curiosity and hard work account for success just as much as intelligence. Another study found that people who were curious about a topic retained what they learned for longer periods of time. And even more impressive, research has linked curiosity to a wide range of important adaptive behaviors, including tolerance of anxiety and uncertainty, positive emotions, humor, playfulness, out-of-box thinking, and a noncritical attitude -- all attributes associated with healthy social outcomes.” In her recent article, Marilyn also notes that “psychologists view curiosity as a life force, vital to happiness, intellectual growth, and well being.”  Wow, that's powerful. And yet, while curiosity is innate in kids, it can also unintentionally be discouraged by adults. So how do we help our kids continue to wonder about the world, ask questions and actively seek out answers? And how do we foster that curiosity in a culture that prioritizes good grades and test scores? Emma and Maya share their perspectives in this podcast, which is part of the Bainbridge Healthy Youth Alliance's 8-month educational campaign called “Beyond the Report Card: Cultivating What Matters”. Each month, the campaign focuses on a different attribute--such as empathy or curiosity--to help our youth thrive and is designed for local parents, educators and other adults who care about teens.

On 21 April, Pilar attended the E-Resilience Conference, organised by the Switched On Culture Research Group. In this podcast, she shares her thoughts. Short introduction, with reference to: RSA Fellow's Reinventing Work Network 24 May London: http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/rsa-fellows-reinventing-work-network-the-metrics-of-reinventing-work-tickets-24564810008?aff=eac2 Link to the blog post on how moving to virtual can change our identity: http://virtualnotdistant.com/virtual-challenges-identity/ If you're looking for the link to the Virtual not Distant ® 7 part email series, here it is: http://eepurl.com/bViJ85   Thank you to the organisers of the conference: Dr Christine Grant,Dr Almuth McDowall,Professor Gail Kinman,Dr Cristina Quiñones-García and thank you to Anna Meller for letting me know about it! Find out more: https://alwaysonculture.wordpress.com/ 07:20 mins Some of the things that Pilar found most "interesting": David D’Souza, Head of CIPD London. "The Future of Work." David talked about many things, including the question of why people, instead of growing at work, are becoming lesser beings than they are at home? Are we discriminating when we introduce "remote"? The question of ethics: "Just because we can, doesn't mean we should" Jean François Stitch, PhD Student at Lancaster University. "Virtual Interactions at Work, Wellbeing and Performance: The Importance of 'Person-Environment Fit’". The Person-Environment Fit with relation to email overload. Whether you feel overloaded by email or not really depends on how you view email overload. Interesting, eh? Dr Richard A. MacKinnon, Insight Director, The Future Work Centre. "Technology at Work: A Systems Perspective." Understanding your own preference is key: "General advice about the use of tech is pointless."   Alison Maitland, author of Future Work. "Leadership and Self-Leadership in the Digital Age." "The industrial age work model remains intact..." "Future work is a place where flexibility is the norm and not the exception and where autonomy replaces permission." Does it matter if our work eats into our personal life, if we don't experience work-life conflict? Advice to those leading virtual teams or teams with mobile working: Be open to change yourselves. Let go of control. Coach and support, rather than micromanage. Focus on relationships, not just tasks. Carve out time for individuals. Use the time in the workplace to build relationships. Work in different places to gain different perspectives. Take responsibility for each other's wellbeing. Find time away from your team members! (That's Pilar's advice...)   Dr Emma Russell, Kingston Business School. "Individual Differences in Dealing with Email at Work." Should countries bring in legislation to reduce email? How people under the different Big Five personalities react to checking email? The importance of self-awareness. "We should be given control about how to deal with our in-coming email because on size does not fit all."

Aboriginal advocate for incarcerated women, former prisoner and pioneer Vickie Roach speaks of her experiences with the prison system and how institutionalisation is imposed on Aboriginal women at a young age. We also hear from Emma Russell from Flat Out. Emma explains how the process of strip searching women in prison is seen as counter-productive and triggering for many incarcerated women with history of sexual violence. We also look at what prison abolition would look like in an Australian context.www.flatout.org.au
