Eliza Dushku: 5 Things To Know About The Actress Paid $9.5 Million By CBS To Settle Harassment Claims
The stunning actress hit the news after her report of sexual harassment on CBS show 'Bull.' Find out everything you need to know about the brunette who's been around for awhile.
Eliza Dushku, 37, is suddenly a very rich woman. The brunette beauty made waves recently for being awarded $9.5 million in a settlement with CBS for the sexual harassment she received on television show Bull. But there's more to her than the abuse she went through – the actress has been in the industry since she was a child, working with some of the greatest talents in Hollywood. Here's what you should know about Eliza.
1. You may recognize her from her roles in Bring It On as the alternative cheerleader Missy Pantone or Buffy The Vampire Slayer's Faith Lehane. Or, if you kept following Joss Whedon shows, Eliza also starred in Dollhouse as Echo, a doll for wealthy clients to hire. She's acted with major stars including Robert de Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Sarah Michelle Gellar.
2. Eliza grew up in Watertown, Massachusetts. As a child, Eliza enjoyed playing the drums and piano, and also practiced ballet, tap, and jazz. "Growing up I was as big a tomboy as you can get," Eliza said. "When my father would take my three older brothers and me to games, we'd go into the boys' room. I have actually peed in the urinal at Fenway." The actress also camped in the mountains when she grew up, she told IGN.
3. She celebrated ten years of sobriety this last November and is passionate about helping others in recovery. "I'm interested in addiction and recovery work," Eliza told DuJour. "There's just such an epidemic — a pandemic, really — going on with drug- and alcohol-related deaths and I see it everywhere. I see it in my own communities in Los Angeles and in Boston. It's devastating. I want to be more qualified to do work in that field."
4. She was scouted by casting agents when she was 10, which led her to star in That Night (1992), playing Alice Bloom. Juliette Lewis and Katherine Heigl were also in the movie!
5. Eliza is vocal with her political beliefs, having supported both President Barack Obama and Senator Bernie Sanders publicly in the past.

Werner Herzog and his BFF Klaus Kinski. Source unknown.
I love Werner Herzog. But, then again, so does everyone. That was evident by the number of people in attendance at a conversation between Herzog and Trevor Paglen last Wednesday night under the stars in Bryant Park. The conversation was hosted by the New York Public Library as part of a celebration for the launch of Paglen's soon-to-be-orbiting project "The Last Pictures", though it really served to illuminate why Herzog is so beloved and why so many artistic efforts fail.
"The Last Pictures" is a collection of 100 photographs attached to a communications satellite that should orbit earth for the next billion years. If that sounds familiar, it's because the idea isn't very new. In 1977, Carl Sagan and NASA famously sent gold records with photographs and sounds out of our solar system aboard the Voyager deep space probes. The selection of artifacts Sagan selected to represent the earth and humanity are beautiful and thought-provoking – if not a complete picture of the reality of man.
Unfortunately, Paglen's collection seems to have been gathered without a clear thesis or audience. The meaning of most of the images selected would be impossible to decipher without direct knowledge of the photograph or the larger context of the image. The best photographs are as beautiful as hotel art, the worst portray a shallow liberal's grim portrait of humanity. Creative Time commissioned Paglen to create "The Last Pictures" four years ago.
Left to right: Paul Holdengräber, Trevor Paglen, Werner Herzog. Image via Art in America.
And this is where we come to Werner Herzog. Next to Paglen, it was easy to point to, and appreciate, Herzog's artistic integrity, emotional and intellectual honesty and clarity of perspective. Herzog is almost bipolar in the extremity of his reaction to the world – vacillating between exuberant indulgence and merciless critique. Ignoring social niceties, he calls attention to subjects deserving of love and observation, and unapologetically dismisses those undeserving subjects that seek our praise. From the beginning of the conversation, Herzog made it clear that the shallow thinking and inappropriate images of "The Last Pictures" had ruined what could have been a beautiful piece. Though Herzog couched his critique in gracious compliments, it was clear that Herzog's comments hit Paglen hard–enough to raise Paglen's voice two octaves. Paglen introduced his piece as a way of explaining the current state of the world to visiting aliens or a future earth-evolved "giant squid" civilization. Herzog dismissed such thoughts as totally ridiculous – since he doesn't believe there will ever be visiting aliens or a giant squid civilization. Paglen quickly abandoned his initial justification for his piece and pivoted to the explanation that it was more of a "thought-experiment" for us – the people sending it out. Exchanges like this continued throughout the entire hour and a half-long discussion. Herzog repeatedly called attention to the lack of thought or substance in the execution of Paglen's three-year effort, and the audience laughed. It was devastating – but not cruel. Paglen deserved it – he hadn't really thought through what he was doing – and Herzog did nothing other than emphatically direct our attention to the truth. That's Herzog's strength, and why we love him. The inability to grapple with truth – getting lost in shallow concepts and grandiosity – is a common failure among artists, as evidenced by Paglen, and audiences, when we unconciously mold our opinions to expectations of how we're supposed to feel. Watching Herzog, in his his invigorating clarity and honesty, is refreshing and inspiring. Just be careful if you invite him to discuss your work.


Nonprofits are slowly coming to the realization that one of the ways to encourage donors to give more is to make the process seamless and easy. Donation management software is one way to achieve this goal, but another is right at their fingertips, and of those they're looking for contributions from as well: the Internet.
According to data from the National Philanthropic Trust, 88 percent of U.S. households make some form of donation to a charitable organization. As a nonprofit looking to raise more money, it only makes sense to use any available tools that simplify this process.
The Nonprofit Marketing Blog has some valuable tips for any charity looking to strengthen its online fundraising effort and one key takeaway is to connect with donors on an emotional level. One of the ways this can be done is to make sure the giving website is designed in such a way that not only inspires donors to give once, but to do so consistently.
The Internet is a powerful tool and one that should be taken advantage of by nonprofits when it comes to fundraising. However, the key is to do so in a manner that is both strategic and thought provoking.

Today I criticize Microsoft, becuase of the news about the end of Windows XP support, with all that implies (also Microsoft Office 2003, but in this case, the implications are not so critics).
If you are a Microsoft developer, maybe you already suffer this kind of decisions, and you were injured if you worked with Classic ASP, Visual Basic 6, or VBA (my complaints are here).
I'm not going to write about the decission, that I respect, but the future lack of confidence on Microsoft (previously, those confidence clientes were developers, but now, the public is even wider!).
This article confirms my theory: Microsoft has no direction, and, not only in programming languages but also in other important areas of their business.
I am PRO Windows, I must admit, but after the jump from Windows 7 to Windows 8, I have the impression that everything is very abrupt for the user (Where is the Start button?). If this can be painfull for the user, developers should "tremble".
That's real, becuase of their actions leaving important computer markets. There are other companies that are doing their job better than Microsoft. Microsoft knows it, but trying to "copy" (also introducing its particular style) is not convincing anyone! At least, not me anymore!
During years, Microsoft was the company that established rules (everything was well designed, and the public accepted it: to use Office you need Windows, but … you need even more: all under Windows: They were the leaders, everybody knows it! But now, things have changed and …. Microsoft has failed to adapt to this change.
Now, there are very good alternatives to Office, specially after the popularity of tablets and smartphones, and now you don't need Office neither Windows. Also, Google offers everything on a single place: Google Docs, Google Drive, Gmail, ….
Some Microsoft decisions are not well accepted in today's market, and of course, that has consecuences. I'm talking about Windows Phone, the attempt to fight (they arrive late) against iOS and Android, with the incompatibility between Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone 8.: you'd buy a cool smathphone with WP7 and now it's obsolote because Microsoft decision to break compatibility …. that decisions make frustrated cliends!! And of course, ..
frustrated clients means lost clients!
Other smartphone companies, due to this politics also take decisions: abandon Microsoft. El B plan was to buy NOKIA, another important phone company now in low hours, not being able to fight agains Apple and Samsung: a new adventure between a "second place" company, bought by a "second place" company!
Back to operating systems, Windows 7 push hard, increasing the requirements for running the OS, neglecting against old hardware. That's one of the main reasons why clients decided to keep on working with Windows XP, or even try "the enemy" Linux, with distros like Ubuntu, or elementaryOS.
To end with, Microsoft tries for imposing only Microsoft products is a bad decission. Innovation must be an advantage that Microsoft is loosing, confirming that Microsoft is finishing all races in "second position".
Microsoft, to conquest users and developers VB6 en Windows 7. El lastre de Microsoft, casi de por vida!


What would the packaging look like if Ferrari made pasta? How about if Tiffany & Co. produced yogurt?
An Israeli designer created answers to these and similar questions in a new exhibition at the Design Museum Holon – an exhibition that is at once a visually lush experiment in branding and a thought-provoking commentary on marketing and consumerism.
"Wheat Is Wheat Is Wheat" by designer Peddy Mergui, the owner of agency Talking Brands, adapts the branding of high-end luxury brands to everyday food commodities. Imagined products include milk by tech giant Apple, eggs by Versace, coffee by Cartier, olive oil by Benneton, fruit by Nike, salt and pepper by Hermes, Burberry noodles, biscuits by Dolce & Gabbana, infant formula by Chanel, Bulgari butter, whole wheat flour by Prada and more.
At face value, Mergui's works are artful reinterpretations of brands into different product mediums. Still, his intent is deeper than just providing novel eye candy. Indeed, Mergui aims to illustrate, in part, how a strong brand, positioned well and continually reinforced through marketing, can create an attractive aura around even the most basic products, generating an appeal that compels people to pay extravagant sums.
While the branded food Mergui creates is fictional, he's certainly provided food for thought with his works, which debuted several years ago but are newly exhibiting at the Design Museum Holon. Regardless of your interpretation of the themes and semantics, the exhibition is an outstanding example of creative product/packaging design. Check out some more examples below.

From the Curator's Desk: The Four Ages of Woman, Perinatal Mental Health
In this new series of posts about the exhibition 'The Four Ages of Woman' (which is currently closed to the public, along with the museum), I'll be writing about the art on display, and how we put it all together. In this first instalment I focus on how perinatal mental health is represented in the exhibition by comparing artworks that were created 130 years apart. I was due to attend a symposium (now cancelled) at the Foundling Museum focusing on Maternal Mental Health on 23rd March, organised to coincide with their current (also closed) exhibition 'Portraying Pregnancy: from Holbein to Social Media' https://foundlingmuseum.org.uk/events/portraying-pregnancy/. The aim of the symposium was to have raised awareness of the issues around maternal mental health, provide a forum for new conversations and partnerships, and enabled arts and business to better support maternal wellbeing.
In 'The Four Ages of Woman,' the 'middle age' section is introduced by two drawings of Elizabeth Jeffreys, who was 'seized by puerperal mania three days after the birth of her first child' and was admitted to Bethlem Hospital. These drawings, and others in the exhibition were commissioned by Alexander Morison, physician to Bethlem in the 1830s and 1840s, and are on loan from the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. The notes that accompany the drawing of Elizabeth Jeffreys state that 'she is very noisy, and screams; she attempted to jump out at a window, is disposed to tear her clothes, and frequently drops on her knees; her conversation is incoherent, sometimes she says that she is strange, that she is mad, that she shall destroy her child, or cut her own throat; restraint is found necessary.
In the second image, Elizabeth is 'cured,' the notes accompanying the drawing state that 'a blister applied to the nape of the neck, and a discharge kept up by the application of Savine Ointment, appeared to expedite the recovery, which was completed by the use of Sulphate of Quinine, in about nine months from the commencement of the disorder.' The clear, clinical description of Eliabeth's treatment and recovery are reductive - her own perspective (aside from parts of her conversation that the physician has chosen to note down) is not represented; it is after all a subjective medical record, and we can't ignore the time and context in which it was made.
Painted over a century later, Maureen Scott's Mother and Child at Breaking Point steps into this perspectival void, the stoic expression on the mother's face thinly veiling the effect of the chaos of the background, and the screaming child in her arms.
The cluttered scene represents the multitude of tasks that can cumulatively take their toll on caregivers; washing, cooking and cleaning alongside the responsibility of looking after a small child. The title of the painting suggests that both mother and child are at breaking point, but whilst the child's anguish is evident through their contorted face and strained body, the mother's expression is that of resigned endurance. Although her own breaking point is not as overtly physical as her child's, the repression of her feelings shown through her stoicism is symptomatic of the overarching pressure to hold everything together, which can sometimes feel impossible.
It is a point at which mental health services and support networks can be vital. It is so important that maternal wellbeing is supported, especially as studies, such as The National Childcare Trust (NCT)'s campaign 'Hidden Half' showed that, of surveyed women, approximately 50% had a mental health problem that had not been identified by a health professional. Many of these mothers were too 'embarrassed or afraid of judgement to seek help.' In response to the need for increased access to services and assistance, in 2019 the NHS pledged funds to support increased access to specialist perinatal mental health care, including community and inpatient care. Organisations like 'Pregnant then Screwed' provide support to women who are discriminated against by their employers either before or after giving birth, and writer Candice Brathwaite's social media campaign 'Make Motherhood Diverse' aims to highlight the broad spectrum of experiences of motherhood, and includes stories from women about mental health problems, class, race and sexuality. Experiencing post natal depression and anxiety are unfortunately common, and are often caused by a combination of hormone changes and sleep disturbances coupled with difficult births and the pressure of caring for a newborn. Mothers who suffer from severe post natal mental health problems may be admitted to a special Mother and Baby Unit within a psychiatric hospital, which enables them to receive treatment whilst caring for their baby in a supportive clinical setting.
Bethlem Royal Hospital's own celebrated Mother and Baby Unit was featured in a documentary film in 2019 entitled Louis Theroux: Mothers on the Edge, which you can still see on BBC iplayer https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00052dk

The Old Testament and Visionary Fiction
This is what archaeologists have learned from their excavations in the Land of Israel: The Israelites were never in Egypt, did not wander in the desert, did not conquer the land in a military campaign and did not pass it on to the twelve tribes of Israel. Perhaps even harder to swallow is that the united monarchy of David and Solomon, which is described by the Bible as a regional power, was at most a small tribal kingdom. – Ha'aretz Magazine, October 1999.
Old Testament stories are spiritual allegories, Visionary Fiction that is. These allegories recount the struggles of men and women who met God face to face. Visionary Fiction has the same goal. It is a literary form that illustrates the process of growth in human consciousness and contains an all-inclusive spiritual component (Wikipedia).
Why do we read the Hebrew Testament like a history and law book? Because we take its stories at face value. Moreover, our minds are wired differently than those who wrote the Torah. In his essay The Philosophy of the Hebrew Language, Jeff Benner, an expert in ancient Hebrew, draws attention to an unrecognized issue: Throughout the world, past and present, there are two major divisions of thought or philosophy; Western and Eastern. Eastern philosophy has its roots in the ancient past and was the predominant form of philosophy throughout the ancient world. The beginning of Western philosophy arose in the ancient Greek culture from such philosophers as Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle. As the Greek culture spread, so did Western philosophy, to the point that it has become the predominant philosophy throughout the world. The Hebrews wrote the Old Testament from the perspective of Eastern philosophy, but Christians have interpreted it with a Western philosophical mindset, the results being misinterpretations and mistranslations of the text.
It may be too late to save the Torah for a modern, spiritual audience, but Visionary Fiction can fill the void. It is easier for Visionary Fiction authors to make (ancient) spiritual and esoteric wisdom relevant for our modern life, because they can weave philosophical terms into their allegories. They can please both – the left and right side of the brain. They can create fusions of Eastern and Western ways of storytelling.
Why did the authors of the Old Testament risk confusing their readers with allegories? Because they had no choice. They were prophets, not priests or scribes. Prophets aren't fortune tellers, they are men and women who access other (divine) realities and return to tell the tale. The Greek word prophetes means exactly this: witness. The problem: other realities are somewhat ineffable. It's difficult to describe them since there are no layman terms available. Hence, the need for stories, a medium that allows the reader to get a feeling of other realities and expanded awareness. It is a means of atonement, like mantras (vibratory), meditation (mental), and Tarot (visual). In fact, stories are the most ancient form of mental atonement and our subconsciousness readily responds to them. What works better, giving a five-year old Webster's definition of empathy or telling it a tragic story?
Have you ever heard of ackee? It's a fruit. How could someone describe its taste to you? He could explain that it has a buttery taste that resembles palm hearts or eggs if cooked, but that's about it. You gotta taste it yourself if you want to know. Ezekiel and other prophets faced an even greater challenge. They had to put on paper states of mind that transcend common sense, logic, and concepts of space and time. They had to defy language. Ezekiel dared to describe a multi-dimensional vehicle with wheels within wheels that could move without turning and, as it seems, in four directions at the same time. Ezekiel had no choice but to resort to symbols, poetry, and the prophet's code to illustrate it. For example, he wrote that the wheels' rims had eyes all over because he lacked the term consciousness. Visionary Fiction authors have an edge here, since they can use philosophical terms and ease the reading.
Why do allegories work? Because of the Hermetic Principle of Correspondence: There are planes beyond our knowing, but when we apply the Principle of Correspondence to them we are able to understand much that would otherwise be unknowable to us. This Principle is of universal application and manifestation, on the various planes of the material, mental, and spiritual universe–it is an Universal Law. The ancient Hermetists considered this Principle as one of the most important mental instruments by which man was able to pry aside the obstacles which hid from view the Unknown. Its use even tore aside the Veil of Isis to the extent that a glimpse of the face of the goddess might be caught. Just as a knowledge of the Principles of Geometry enables man to measure distant suns and their movements, while seated in his observatory, so a knowledge of the Principle of Correspondence enables Man to reason intelligently from the Known to the Unknown. Studying the monad, he understands the archangel. – The Kybalion, The Principle of Correspondence
What does Moses' story allegorize? Moses freed his personality (Israel's nation) from the tyrannical pharaoh (ego), and ended his materialistic lifestyle (slavery in Egypt). He performed the great work (miracles in the wilderness) and sanctified his body and mind (lead his nation into the promised land). The Book of Moses doesn't list religious rules or spiritual facts, but elaborates the expansion of consciousness into the divine, (Gurian's distinction between Visionary and Spiritual Fiction). Doubts? The Old Testament patriarchs weren't saints, they had issues like you and me. And let's not forget Job, whose story is a cryptic psychological manual of how to deal with adversity.
Don't be disappointed that Biblical stories are just allegories. You can still apply them to your daily grind. You don't lose common sense, instead you gain a new sense – the visionary sense. And when you put both to work together, miracles happen, or, if you are a Visionary Fiction writer, great stories happen.

Walden House - 110 North Oak Avenue
The Walden House was one of the many houses built after the devastating freezes of the late 1890s. In 1904, James and Nella Walden purchased several lots along North Oak and East Graves Avenue. Included in their purchase was the former Pioneer Store building, which had fallen into disrepair. James demolished the building to make way for his new home in 1906.
Walden House c.2019
The residential structure was constructed in 1906 It represents a primarily Colonial Revival architectural style which was popular from 1880 - 1960. The style characteristics include a symmetrical facade,1-2 stories, porch with columns, a medium pitched roof, side gables with narrow eaves or hipped roofs and dormers.
Originally, the property was owned by Charles Smith who built the Pioneer Store in 1880. The city founders, in the upstairs of the Pioneer Store building, planned the incorporation of the city. They voted to name the town Blue Spring City, however, when John Stillman filed for the post office, he registered the name as Orange City. In 1904, James and Nella Walden purchased the building, which had been vacant for some time and demolished it to build their house. The Walden House was said to be a very modern cottage fitted with all the modern conveniences. The home survived the devastating fire of 1909 that destroyed many of the buildings on North Oak and East Graves Avenues.
The grounds contain the original woven wire fence and hand formed concrete posts, which were used to keep roaming livestock out of the yard. It also boasts native landscaping, which includes azaleas and sable palms making this structure and site an excellent example of Orange City's historic roots.

Picked up Skyrim on Steam yesterday evening and while starting the game it ran a check on my system to decide what video settings to have and the result was "High Quality" which I thought was good.
This was until I remembered Dave on TeamSpeak saying that there result was Ultra High Quality. So I decided to create the following #firstworldproblems #skyrim internet meme image.
What video card/cpu have you got in there ? Kinda wondering what the benchmark is and how my 2500K + 560Ti measure up.
Not that I'll be buying Skyrim, I've had too much disappointment and early boredom with Bethesda games.

I bought FC4 a few weeks ago and I'm kind of disappointed... It's not very fun. The story missions are extremely intense (and really fun!) but the overall feel to the game is a little dull, if that makes any sense.
When you said Far Cry 2 i thought that was the latest one out. I've only played the 3rd one and i thought that was the first, what i love about Far Cry is the Open World free roaming, exploring every bit of the game.
Also if anyone wants to play a game similar to FC, you should also check out Dying Light if you haven't heard about it yet. Almost exactly the same. And then there's Skyrim, Dead Island and Tomb Raider too which aren't necessarily my recommendation for FC series.
Every single person i know that owns the game don't like it. A lot of game developers say that to have a successful selling game, you can't have people talking bad about your game and it'll sell.

Lav Diaz
the End of History
the heart machine
One of the great paradoxes – and ironies – of cinema is that, despite the fact that the medium is built around the presentation of images, it's that which occurs off screen that exerts the greatest hold over the audience. If the movie screen is a glowing rectangle upon which dreamscapes play out according to their own logic, then that which occurs off screen is most fully at the whim of the audience's imagination. It was the tension between what is onscreen and off, what is visible and only imagined, that struck me throughout the four-hour-plus running time of Lav Diaz's latest, Norte, the End of History.
Filipino filmmaker Diaz, as it's often been noted, is a practitioner of " slow cinema" to the degree that Norte, clocking in at 250 minutes, is one of his shorter works. There's much to be said about the manner in which Diaz uses duration in order to induce a meditative state in the viewer. His extended static takes, often featuring little by way of traditional visual stimulation (many of the shots have minimal character movement, feeling more like photographs than moving images), bring about a mindfulness-based mode of cinematic stimulation, where the viewing pleasure comes not from watching things happen but, rather, from watching them not happen. Being a spectator of these often-still scenes is not dissimilar to what happens when one stares at a resonant painting or photograph in a museum for an extended period of time.
Again, there's much more that can be said about this style of representation, but what I found even more striking in Norte was the manner in which Diaz plays with the tension between what is on and off screen. It's nothing new in cinema, let alone art cinema, for a filmmaker to understand this tension as being central to the power of the medium, but in few films (few recent films, anyway) have I witnessed a filmmaker with this level of control in this aspect of the form.
To give some context, Norte is a contemporary interpretation of Crime and Punishment, set in the Philippines; it begins focused on Fabian (Sid Lucero), a bourgeois law student enamored with the transgressive aspects of philosophies like anarchism, often talking, in Mao-speak, about the need to start society over from zero. Fabian, we realize, is more committed to the ideals he espouses than his friends realize, and he ultimately puts them into action, to one degree or another, when he kills a cruel moneylender, Magda (Mae Paner) – as well as her teenage daughter, who witnesses the crime. The film then begins to shift perspective for some time, as it comes to focus primarily on Joaquin (Archie Alemania), a poor laborer who is arrested and convicted of the crime (Joaquin owed the victim money, and was having trouble paying).
The scene where Magda is killed is not particularly complex, but it raises a host of philosophical issues that I often consider when thinking about the proper way to film a scene. As Fabian kills Magda, the murder – partially glimpsed through a doorway – is mostly obstructed. After the deed is done, Fabian runs into Magda's daughter, seen in the middle of the frame – and then kills the daughter, which occurs completely offscreen (though, as with Magda's murder, it is heard quite clearly). Does the choice to have the murders committed mostly offscreen mean that we engage less with what is occurring, since we sense it less, and are therefore less horrified by the act? Or are we more horrified, since we are objective observers looking at Fabian's behavior, rather than being given the opportunity to identify with his murderous desires (as so many horror films allow us to do)? Does the fact that the camera remains in the hallway mean that the audience is given an easy way out, not having to confront the horror in detail? Or does it mean that we are even more horrified, since the fact that much of the carnage occurs offscreen affords the viewer the opportunity to imagine what is occurring, and therefore construct a horror far more disturbing than anything that could be presented by what cinema is capable of?
The answer, I believe, comes later in the film, in a similar scene where Joaquin is witness – along with many other prisoners – to one prisoner being beaten to death by another. What exactly happens is impossible to say, since Diaz does not show the beating – his camera remains fixed on Joaquin and his cellmates, who watch the act, transfixed, as the audience surely would, were they allowed to. The sounds of the beating are absolutely bloodcurdling, and they force us to conjure up the worst things one can imagine one person doing to another. This, I believe, is the central paradox of cinema: as audience members, we want to watch, we want to see; but only that which remains off camera can be subjected fully to the power of the human imagination. Like what Nietzsche wrote about naming something – and in the process of naming it, stripping it of its power – with cinema, that which is made visible loses the limitless potential for meaning it is capable of being imbued with by the human imagination.
In the prison beating scene, we are forced to imagine not a specific beating, per se, but a more abstract sense of "beating-ness," a kind of ontological condition of being beaten that can only be conjured in the abstract, that cannot be represented. The action that occurs offscreen is turned, by the audience, into every beating one human has ever administered to another; it becomes the suffering of all humanity. It can do this because it is not represented; it remains abstract. Were Diaz to give us a reverse of the beating, revealing one prisoner pummeling another in their cell, the metaphysical dimension of what is conjured would immediately vanish; we would be back in the realm of specificity. In his refusal to represent the specifics of horror, Diaz forces us to create a far grander sort of horror, and so the film's reach extends far beyond its story.
It's ironic, then, that it is not the representation of a thing in cinema that reveals its truth, but rather, the hiding of a thing. Truth is not corporeal, Diaz seems to be telling us – it is abstract, immaterial, larger than any specific representation of itself. Perhaps this is why cinema is ultimately not an art form about what is seen, but rather, what is absent.

Japanese R&D team targets next gen flu jabs
Mar 13, 2008 7:59am
Investigators in Japan have designed a new vaccine that has been effective in animal tests against multiple strains of influenza, including varieties of the dread bird flu. Using a peptide derived from influenza virus that carries an antigen on the surface that triggers an immune response, the researchers noted that the vaccine worked on the inside of cells, rather than the surface. That's a dramatic departure from the vaccines used today, which target the surface of cells. Those surfaces change as the virus mutates, making the vaccines ineffective to the emerging strains of influenza.
The researchers at the National Institute of Infectious Diseases say that their breakthrough could provide a new generation of flu vaccines able to work across a broad spectrum of strains. They're now working on a vaccine that can be tested in humans.
- read the report from News-Medical
ALSO: Japanese investigators say they're seeing good results from a new bird flu vaccine that is sprayed up the nose rather than injected, a feature that could make it far easier to distribute in developing countries. Story

Memory Cafe birthday celebrations
Winton House celebrated the first birthday of its Memory Café by entertaining the Deputy Mayor at a tea party. A beautiful cake and cupcakes had been baked for the occasion by Sarah Calwell and our guitarist, Richard Barnes, played Congratulations. We welcomed both regulars and new visitors, who joined in the summer songs.
The Memory Café meets on the third Wednesday of the Month from 2pm to 3.30pm for those living with dementia and their carers and family members. The photo shows Jenny Seaburg on the left (trustee of Winton House), and Ruth Sander (Pop-In Volunteer and our Dementia Champion) who co-lead on the Memory Cafe.
We've gone Fairtrade!

We are delighted to be helping not only our local community, but those farmers worldwide that need a hand to ensure better prices, decent working conditions and a say in their own future.
Strawberry Tea
Our annual Strawberry Tea was held on a much needed cooler day in our garden here at Winton House. With scones, jam and cream, jugs of Pimms and a string quartet from Churchers, it is an event to say thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers who help in so many ways. Ric Girdlestone, our Chairman, thanked everyone for everything that they contribute and even wrote a poem in their honour.
Richard Tickner
Sadly Richard Tickner, a key Trustee of Winton House, passed away recently. He will be sorely missed.
Richard was special. He worked tirelessly and effectively on behalf of Winton House and all it's works. He was one of the architects of what has become Winton House Centre. It was Richard's sound financial planning that helped the organisation to its present sound economic position.
Richard was a strong personality at the meetings of the Board of Trustees, with his wry sense of humour, steady and sound judgement. He will be greatly missed by all. He was always ready and willing to put his hand to anything that was needed for the smooth running of Winton House. It has been a privilege to have worked alongside him.

[ARCHIVED] New Paint the Town Mural at Bowman Place
MOUNT PLEASANT, SC (July 16, 2020) – A new Mount Pleasant Culture, Arts & Pride Commission mural has just been completed on the Bowman Place shopping center facing Bowman Rd. near the new Come Back Shack restaurant.
This is the third mural installation for CAP's Paint the Town project. The Bowman Place mural depicts a dog jumping off a dock to fetch a stick that children have thrown in the water. It was painted by Michael Kuffel, a professional artist whose work can also be seen at GDC Interiors, Old South Carriage Company, and other places around the Lowcountry.
"The mural 'Lucky's Leap' was a wonderful chance to partner with the town and take advantage of Michael Kuffel's unique artistic talent to create something very special for our Bowman Place customers and the entire community," said property manager Donna Patterson. "We love it!"
"The mural is designed for public appeal and should register with anyone who has grown up or spent time along Charleston's waterways," said Kuffel.
Other Paint the Town projects include a mural on the restroom building at the Farmers Market Pavilion at Moultrie Middle School and a mural on the side of Fulton Hair.
