Her family is of Tamil descent. When she was six months of age, her family moved back to their native Sri Lanka. Motivated by his wish to support the Tamil militancy in Sri Lanka, her father became a political activist, adopting the name Arular, and was a founding member of The Eelam Revolutionary Organisation of Students (EROS), a militant Tamil group. Her alias, M.I.A., stands for both Missing in Acton and Missing in Action.Due to the conflict, the first years of her life were marked by displacement. Contact with her father was strictly limited, as he was in hiding from the Sri Lanka Army. As the civil war escalated, it became unsafe for the family to stay in Sri Lanka, so they relocated to Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, moving into a derelict house, with sporadic visits from her father. Later resettling in Jaffna, the ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka deteriorated further, and the family once again tried to flee the island. Her school was destroyed in a government raid. Eventually she, her two siblings and mother Kala moved back to London where they were housed as refugees. It was in the late '80s, on a council estate in Mitcham (South London), that Arulpragasam began to learn English. Arulpragasam speaks English and the Tamil language fluently. Arulpragasam has an older sister, Kali Arulpragasam, and a younger brother, Sugu.Arulpragasam graduated from London's Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, with a degree in fine art, film and video. She currently lives in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York in the US and is engaged to Benjamin Brewer, singer and guitarist for the band The Exit. They are currently expecting their first child together. Related: m.i.a. mia bingo arular | |

It is also about its human culture, though perhaps sporadic, and about its wavering blanket of individual and even ecological spirituality. Related: joshua tree brett lamarque | |

| Laochra Gael - Pat Spillane 3 KerryThu, 08 Jan 2009 19:31:25 -0800 by gaabeoPat Spillane (born 1 December 1955) is a former Irish sportsperson. He played senior Gaelic football with Kerry from 1975 until 1991. He is regarded as one of the greatest players of all-time.Spillane made his senior inter-county debut as a substitute in a National Football League game against Galway in March 1974. He retained his place as a sub for Kerrys unsuccessful campaign. In 1975 a new-look Kerry team was formed under the management of the legendary Mick O'Dwyer. It was the beginning of a glorious era for Kerry football and Spillane played a key role in orchestrating much of the success. That year he won his first Munster title, dethroning Cork as provincial champions in the process. Spillane later collected his first All-Ireland medal at senior level following a defeat of Dublin. As team captain Mickey 'Ned' O'Sullivan had departed injured in the first-half, Spillane, at the age of 19, was given the task of accepting the Sam Maguire Cup on the Hogan Stand.In 1976 Spillane captured his second Munster , however, Dublin gained revenge for the previous year by defeating Kerry in the All-Ireland final. 1977 was another frustrating year as Spillane won another Munster title but lost out to Dublin yet again, this time in the All-Ireland semi-final. By 1978 Kerry were ready for success. They easily won another Munster title and breezed into the All-Ireland final to face Dublin. The game itself is remembered for Mikey Sheehys cheeky goal which he scored by lobbing the ball over the head of goalkeeper Paddy Cullen. The final score was 5-11 to 0-9 and Spillane had finally secured a second All-Ireland medal. In 1979 Kerry once again faced up to Dublin in the All-Ireland final and, in spite of Páidí Ó Sé being sent off for a foul, the men from the Kingdom had another emphatic victory over Dublin.A victory for Kerry over Roscommon in 1980 brought Spillanes All-Ireland medal tally up to four. In 1981 he won his seventh consecutive Munster title, however, he damaged his knee in a club game in August of that year. His movement was severely hampered but he was still selected as a sub for the 1981 All-Ireland final against Offaly. He was brought on with only a few minutes left in the match and he captured his fifth All-Ireland medal on the field of play. Spillane played sporadically for Kerry in 1982 as the team attempted to capture a fifth All-Ireland medal in-a-row. Once again Kerry faced Offaly in the final, with Spillane coming on as a sub in the second-half. Kerry had the upper hand for much of the game and were leading by two points with two minutes left to be played. The game, however, was not over as Offaly substitute Séamus Darby, who had entered the game almost unnoticed, produced the most spectacular of finishes by scoring a late goal. Kerry failed to score again to level the match and Offaly went on to win their third All-Ireland title ever.Spillane played no part in the 1983 championship as he was recovering from an operation on his snapped cruciate ligament. While many players would never play again following such an injury Spillane fought his way back to fitness in time to win his eighth Munster title in 1984, before securing back-to-back All-Ireland victories over their old rivals Dublin in 1984 and 1985. In 1986 Spillane collected his third All-Ireland title in-a-row with an 8-point victory over Tyrone. It was his eighth All-Ireland medal overall, a record haul of All-Ireland medals and a record that he shares with fellow Kerrymen Páidí Ó Sé, Ger Power, Ogie Moran and Mikey Sheehy. For the last trio of All-Ireland victories Spillane was joined by his two brothers, Mick and Tom, on the Kerry team.
