Returned follows transnational Mexicans as they experience the alienation and unpredictability of deportation, tracing the particular ways that U.S. immigration policies and state removals affect families. Deportation--an emergent global order of social injustice--reaches far beyond the individual deportee, as family members with diverse U.S. immigration statuses, including U.S. citizens, also return after deportation or migrate for the first time. The book includes accounts of displacement, struggle, suffering, and profound loss but also of resilience, flexibility, and imaginings of what may come. Returned tells the story of the chaos, and design, of deportation and its aftermath.

I was born in a small village where people were very busy in the fields but had no connection with the world of art. What it did exist was a very interesting kind of art – the art of agriculture, that one of working the land, farming. I thought that if potatoes or corn could be planted in this area, then sculptures could be too. My idea was to create my own space where I could work and show my art, integrated into the landscape. And what better landscape than the place where I was born, at the mouth of the Umia River (Castelo, Cambados).
Thanks to my interest in sculpture I travelled to other places and visited their museums and architecture. My experiences in New York and Japan, as well as in other countries in the world, made me think that my home village was a good place to develop a museum. When we came back from New York in 1994, the idea came to my mind again and we started to enlarge a piece of land that I had inherited from my parents. The space became bigger and bigger in order to exhibit my work outdoors, and this is how we started to give shape to the Foundation. Works from the end of the 1970s to the present can be seen here.
This is a unique space in Galicia, and the concept is similar to that of other parks, such as Chillida-Leku's, Henry Moore's or Isamu Noguchi's, museums designed by the artists themselves. My studio is also inside the Foundation, and both spaces coexist harmoniously. The studio is the place where I create, where I have the idea. Then the sculptures can be produced in other locations, like quarries, industrial workshops or even the space where the work of art is going to be.
However, the most important goal of this project may be to appreciate nature, to try to take care of it and respect it because it is where we live. If we respect it, it will be generous to us. It is mankind's greatest legacy. The land of the Foundation is also shaped, it is part of the integrating conception of sculpture and reinforces the natural space, because for me landscape is the best set.

New Rules relating to Property Managers and Letting Agents
July 25th, 2018	by DWFM Beckman
Article written by Colin Jaque Partner in our Dispute Resolution department
Little known provisions of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 came into force on 1st October 2014 under which all professional property managers and letting agents have to register under the Redress Scheme Order 2014. A failure to register leaves the individual open to be recorded under a schedule of "rogue agents" and to a fine.
The Act imposes a duty on the local weights and measures authority to enforce these provisions in its own area and to impose a monetary penalty not exceeding £5,000 in the event of a breach. The Act also directs that the normal fine will be £5,000 unless there are "exceptional circumstances" intimated, and it is hard to envisage what circumstances might be considered as exceptional.
The Government department that drafted the legislation was the Department for Communities and Local Government which issued a memorandum in October 2014 giving a detailed explanation as to what constituted letting agency and property manager's work and specifically intimated that the Redress Scheme would only apply to agents carrying out lettings or property management work "in the course of business".
Specifically the Memorandum provides that it does not include informal arrangements where someone is looking after a letting or management of rented property on behalf of a family member of friend or someone working on the property employed by a landlord to carry out repairs or decorations, and nor does it include a landlord who manages the property or properties on behalf of the other joint landlords.
The memorandum goes out of its way to explain that it is only intended that registration into the Redress Scheme is limited to someone who is set up in business and is offering their services as letting agents or managers of property. Landlords are not explicitly excluded from the requirement but are not generally caught by the definitions given as they are not "acting on instructions from another party".
Likewise, resident management companies are not explicitly excluded from the requirement to register, although, in many cases, these are not caught by the legislation. Thus, where the resident's management company owns the freehold and manages to block itself, the Memorandum points out that there is no requirement for the company to join a Redress Scheme.
This is because, under the definition, property management work only arises where one person instructs another person to manage the premises, and, in such a case, the person who owns the block and is responsible for its management and the person managing the block are one and the same.
Also, where a resident management company does not own the freehold but is set up and run by the residents and manages the premises on behalf of the residents, this would also be excluded as the work is only in respect of the residents own premises and would not be operating in the normal course of business.
Despite this clear and unequivocal explanation which has been advertised widely by the Government Department and which has been followed by a very large number of those who have taken on management of properties where they are resident, the Tribunal has recently provided a decision that, because the advice set out in such Explanatory Memorandum does not appear anywhere in either of the Redress Schemes for letting agency work and property management work, that advice should be ignored.
Accordingly, it has confirmed that a fine of £5,000.00 should be levied on one of the directors of a company carrying out the management of an estate where that company owns the freehold interest of the individual properties comprising the estate.
Needless to say, we are looking to appeal this decision but to all those who find themselves in a position where it could be said that they are managing properties where there are more than one resident should take care to consider the possibility of registering under the appropriate Redress Scheme pending any successful appeal.

The Isle of Man has announced the formation of a Blockchain Office and a developmental sandbox, according to ETH News.
The move was made in part with help from the Digital Isle of Man in hopes of transforming the island into an 'international hub for blockchain businesses'. In June 2018, the Digital Isle of Man became a member of the British Blockchain Association (BBA). The BBA is a non-profit organization that works to promote the education and adoption of blockchain technology.
As the agency looks to build an infrastructure for blockchain development in the country, the Blockchain Office will act as a dialogue facilitator between businesses and regulators. The Office aims to help platforms design and future-proof their concepts in accordance with relevant legislation and regulation and to provide expertise, guidance and marketing support, as well as facilitate and encourage collaboration between companies.
According to the report, those looking to be a part of the Isle of Man Sandbox can begin the application process in March 2019, with the space becoming fully functional in early spring. Early participants will not be charged registration fees in order to use the facility.

Is high risk homebirth a form of medical neglect?
Despite counseling about the risk of a fatal outcome, a mother elects to attempt a VBA3C at home, her uterus ruptures and her baby dies.
A woman with a breech baby is advised that birth at home carries higher than average risk. The woman ignores the medical advice, the baby's head is trapped during birth and the baby dies.
A women is told that her twins are in an unfavorable position for successful vaginal birth. The woman elects to have a homebirth and, as she was warned might happen, the second baby dies.
The women in these cases, didn't simply choose to have a homebirth. They chose to ignore the guidelines for homebirth safety by attempting a high risk homebirth. They may argue about their right to choose and their actions may be legally protected, but that doesn't change the fact that, morally, they have committed medical neglect.
What is pediatric medical neglect?
5. the [mother] understands the medical advice given.
In each of the cases above, a child died because of lack of appropriate healthcare. The recommended treatment (C-section) offers significant net benefit to the child. Access to healthcare was available, and the mother did understand the advice she received from physicians.
Some families may refuse advice because they lack trust in physicians or organized medicine because of what they have heard from friends or the media or because of previous negative experiences with the health care system.
Medical neglect evaluations should focus on the child's needs rather than the caregiver's motivations or justifications. Religious objections, therefore, should not be granted fundamentally different status from other types of objections.
Although competent adults have the right to refuse life-saving medical care for themselves, the US Supreme Court has stated that parents do not have the right to deny their children necessary medical care. The court made this clear in 1944 in Prince v Massachusetts. "The right to practice religion freely does not include the liberty to expose the community or child to communicable disease, or the latter to ill health or death. . . . Parents may be free to become martyrs themselves. But it does not follow they are free, in identical circumstances, to make martyrs of their children. . . ." The American Academy of Pediatrics has taken a firm stance on the rights of seriously ill children to receive lifesaving medical care even if their parents subscribe to religious beliefs that are antithetical to medical care.
In other words, there is no special status granted to medical neglect motivated by religion or by subcultural belief systems.
It doesn't matter that self proclaimed midwives, doulas and childbirth educators tell her that a C-section is not necessary.
And it doesn't matter that she believes she will be traumatized in the hospital.
It is still, morally, medical neglect.
Of course, in the case of high risk obstetric situations, the medical needs of the unborn child are balanced by the medical needs and the personal wishes of the mother. Since every competent adult is legally entitled to refuse surgery, even indicated surgery, a pregnant woman cannot be compelled to have a C-section. Furthermore, since unborn children have no legal rights, the mother is legally entitled to place her medical needs, or simply her personal wishes, above the medical needs of her baby.
Legally, then, the mother cannot be prevented from committing this form of medical neglect, but that does not change the fact that in high risk situations homebirth is morally a form of medical neglect.

Young Iranians Arrested For Dancing In 'Happy' Pharrell Video [UPDATE]
By Yasmine Hafiz
UPDATE 5/21 --
Iranian political satirist and radio host Kambiz Hosseini, who started the #FreeHappyIranians hashtag, tweeted on May 21 that all of the young men and women released for their involvement with the "Happy" clip have been released, except for the director.
All iranians in the happy video clip are free, except the director. #freehappyiranians @Pharrell
— Kambiz Hosseini (@kambizhosseini) May 21, 2014
A tweet from President Hassan Rouhani has led to speculation that he had a hand in their release.
"#Happiness is our people's right. We shouldn't be too hard on behaviors caused by joy." 29/6/2013
— Hassan Rouhani (@HassanRouhani) May 21, 2014
Original story --
Sources report that seven to eight young Iranians have been arrested in Tehran, for the simple crime of being "Happy."
Three men and three women danced unveiled to Pharrell Williams' smash hit in a video that was widely shared on social media, garnering over 30,000 views before it was taken down. Copies have been quickly re-uploaded as news of the arrest has broken, sparking the hashtag #FreeHappyIranians.
Many Iranians praised their joyful video, but it was met with censure by the conservative religious forces which have ruled Iran since the Revolution in 1979.
"After a vulgar clip which hurt public chastity was released in cyberspace, police decided to identify those involved in making that clip," Tehran police chief Hossein Sajedinia told the ISNA News Agency, according to ABC.
Footage from Iranian state TV appears to show seven men and one woman being interrogated about the video, which is shown in the clip with the dancers blurred out. The BBC reported that the exact number of detainees has not been released.
A subtitled edition of the TV clip identified those arrested as "actors," who claimed that they were tricked into making the "Happy" video for an audition, and were promised that it would not be broadcast.
A source told Iran Wire that the producers of the video were lured in by the police. The source said, "All of the young producers received phone calls informing them that a friend had suffered a car accident and required their help. When they arrived at the address they had been given over the phone, security forces were waiting to arrest them."
Police chief Hossein Sajedinia attempted to use it as a teaching moment for the repressive regime, telling the reporter, "Our dear youths should try to avoid these kinds of people. Like actors, singers, and these kinds of problems. Try to avoid it."
The credits at the end of the video seem to argue against that explanation, as they proudly say:
We have made this video as Pharrell Williams' Fans in 8 hours, with iPhone 5S. "Happy" was an excuse to be happy. We enjoyed every second of making it. Hope it puts a smile on your face. © All Rights Reserved by Sol Production.
The creators told Iran Wire three weeks ago that they made the video to celebrate the UN's International Day of Happiness on March 20th.
Their message? "We wanted to tell the world that the Iranian capital is full of lively young people and change the harsh and rough image that the world sees on the news," said Neda, one of the video's stars.
Tensions have been running high in Iran as president Hassan Rouhani attempts to advocate for greater freedoms in the country while remaining subject to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini, who is in charge of the judiciary and thus the police.
Just on Saturday, Rouhani tweeted his belief that cyberspace should be seen as an "opportunity:"
#Cyberspace should be seen as opportunity: facilitating two-way communication, increasing efficiency & creating jobs. pic.twitter.com/iYkzgHpXkQ
It is a crime to go out in public unveiled, though many Iranians did not commonly wear the hijab prior to the Revolution. A Facebook page, My Stealthy Freedom, has showcased the private protests of many women who take the opportunity to remove their hijabs in places where the police won't see them. Creator and participant Neda told Iran Wire that the girls in the video covered their hair with wigs in order to conform to the dress code.
The creators of "Happy" knew that they were taking a risk. They were afraid of being seen while filming, and didn't tell their families that they were making it until finished.
"On the one hand," Neda told Iran Wire, "they praised us for coming up with a new idea. On the other, they were afraid that something would happen to us, considering the present situation."

Crashed Out have their annual Xmas bash on Friday 28th December at The Office in South Shields with support from Hi-Fi Spitfires, Underline Hero and Minnie. First band is on at 7pm and tickets are £5.
Three of The Lurkers are back as God's Lonely Men and they have a new album out. I don't know why they just don't joing forces with Arthur and do it properly.
The Lurkers were one of the first and best bands formed during the late 70's punk rock explosion in the UK. Based in West London and with classic singles such as "Shadow", "Ain't Gotta Clue" and "I Don't Need To Tell Her" still sounding as fresh and exciting today as they did back then. Their first album "Fulham Fallout" is an acknowledged classic of the time.
Now the three original members Pete stride, Pete(Esso)Haynes and Nigel Moore have joined forces once more to form God's Lonely Men (GLM) whose 14 track debut album Chemical Landslide has today been released on Unlatched Records. This is an event which many have looked forward to for a long time, and the new songs are certain to please old fans, but also bring things right up to date with a vengeance.

SUNNYVALE, CA, Feb. 6, 2001 - SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) announced today that it is accepting applications for its 2001 Community Sharing Program from local nonprofit, 501 (c)(3) organizations in areas where SanDisk employees live and work. The assistance comes in the form of monetary grants and employee participation.
SanDisk's Community Sharing Program is managed by its community sharing committee, composed of SanDisk employees who volunteer their personal time. SanDisk carries out its vision of sharing by providing grants and/or participating in the activities of nonprofit organizations. The primary focus areas for last year's program were family and individual support needs as well as education and youth development needs. The supplemental focus areas were environmental concerns and needs; sponsorship of low-income youth sports; life transition support needs; and animal rescue needs. Changes in the focus areas for 2001, if any, will be provided with the application.
SanDisk believes that the creative work environment must be complemented by creative family and community environments. To foster these conditions for its employees and other members of the community, SanDisk provides support for local arts and cultural organizations.
Steve Gross, program chairman and manager of ASIC development at SanDisk, said, "Since 1996, SanDisk has been honored to share its good fortune through this program. We've been actively involved in our local communities and eagerly anticipate this year's submissions. We're looking forward to a diverse and wide range of applicants."
In past years, SanDisk has funded organizations including United Way Silicon Valley, Santa Clara County AIDS Coalition, KTEH Public Television, local elementary and middle schools, InnVision of Santa Clara County, the San Jose Symphony, Opera San Jose, Second Harvest, Big Brothers/Big Sisters and many others.
In addition to providing monetary grants, SanDisk also participated in and helped raise funds in a number of recent events, including the Santa Clara County Walk for AIDS. SanDisk employees volunteered their time and services at Community Impact Day, Second Harvest and the Santa Clara County Jazz Festival as well.
Gross added, "At SanDisk, we try to do more than just sign a check. When possible, we enjoy the satisfaction of taking the time to volunteer outside our regular jobs. The personal and collective commitment to support community based non-profits is one of many things that makes SanDisk a great place to work."


Had another bash trying acrylics tonight. It's not quite what I'm looking for in a wet medium, but still fun. I'm after the feeling of oil paints, without the drying time – thinking of looking into the 'heavy body' range from system 3 rather than the original here.

Small Dollar Donors On #GivingTuesday: Think Small, Go Big
One of the key findings in recent studies on how and to who donors give is that small donors give big over time and that counts on GivingTuesday perhaps more than any other day of the year. And while it's understandable that a nonprofit might be concerned about asking donors for money twice in December, when you're already asking for end-of-year donations, it turns out that the people who donate on GivingTuesday and those who wait until the last five days of the year are different donors with different motivations for giving.
Small Donors, Big Returns
GivingTuesday was created as a way to enable and encourage people at all income levels and all abilities to give to become philanthropists in whatever way they're able. It's meant to counter some of the crassness of shopping "holidays" like Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and it's growing by about $100 million in donations per year, with over 150 countries participating globally. And the point of it is that any donation of any amount adds up big when we all get together and give together.
Best of all, while individual GivingTuesday donations may be on the small side (they generally come from donors belonging to lower median-income households), donors who give on that day are more likely not only to give more over time but to become recurring donors and future P2P fundraisers for your organization. GivingTuesday provides the perfect opportunity for the average citizen to start the "season of giving" off right by joining their peers in donating where it can make the most difference. And many GivingTuesday donors get so caught up in helping you achieve your goals that they give multiple times during the day!
Millennials: The Small-Donation Generation
According to Nonprofits Source, Millennials make up nearly 28 percent of the U.S. population, and 40 percent are active, recurring donors to nonprofit organizations. Having grown up in times of economic crisis, Millennials tend to save rather than spend money, but they are active donors to causes they care about, with 84 percent giving to charity overall (compared to 69 percent of the general population) and 40 percent donating through an organization's website in 2016. And Millennials are "heavily" influenced by their peers and colleagues, so they make great peer-to-peer fundraisers and tend to respond positively to P2P fundraising from the giving side, as well.
The latest data from the Case Foundation reveals that Millennials "believe all actions matter–big and small."
"One significant, unique notion supported by 10 years of research is that millennials acting in small ways individually often create leverage as a large, active group capable of influencing great change." -Jean Case, Key Takeaways from a Decade of Millennial Research
It's kind of GivingTuesday in a nutshell, isn't it?
Think Small, Go Big
Ultimately, you're going to want to encourage donations at multiple levels from a wide array of channels on GivingTuesday, with goals your donors can celebrate with you along the way. But while you're out there banging the drum for the big numbers, remember that it's often the small donations from donors with less to give that add up to big numbers in the long run. So when it comes to small donations on GivingTuesday, go BIG!

The Benjamin Britten Arts Festival was launched on 25th November 2012 to commemorate the centenary of Old Greshamian (OG) Benjamin Britten's birth in 2013. As a pupil in Farfield between 1928 and 1930, and just before Britten studied at the Royal College of Music, Gresham's stands in a unique position in the composer's life.
What happened during the Festival of Britten at Greshams…
Not only did Gresham's musicians perform Britten's music locally in 2013, but also across East Anglia, in Bury St Edmunds and Norwich. Britten's music also featured heavily in the programme taken to cathedrals across Belgium by the Prep School's choir over Easter. Gresham's has also welcomed a number of notable musicians to work with students and to give performances over the course of the festival.
Our Britten Festival included performances of the St Nicolas cantata in North Norfolk, one which included choirs from both the Senior and Prep School with tenor soloist Julian Forbes, and one with Sheringham & Cromer Choral Society, the Prep School Jiminies and tenor Paul Smy.
War Requiem was performed in February, conducted by Mark Jones and with soloists Rosamund Walton (soprano), Ben Thapa (tenor), and Robert Davies (baritone). With over 300 singers and orchestral musicians and a capacity audience of 400, it was a stunning highlight of the festival.
In April, the award-winning choir from Longmeadow High School, Massachusetts, USA, visited the school to give a joint concert with the Senior School's Schola Cantorum. The highlight of their performance was Britten's Hymn to the Virgin, written by the young composer in the sickroom of Farfield House in 1930.
The recital given by Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears at Gresham's in 1964 was recreated in May 2013 by the tenor Thomas Hobbs and Director of Music, Mark Jones. This event was particularly poignant being on the same stage in Big School as the original concert, with the same musical programme, and amongst the packed audience, a handful of OGs in the audience who remembered the event from their school-days.
Along with these major events, the festival also welcomed speakers from the Britten-Pears Foundation and Aldeburgh Music to the MMA area conference held at the school in February, and in November 2012, helped launch the Friday Afternoons education project with a choral day for London prep schools, held in Fishmongers' Hall, London. Other collaborative events saw over 20 local schools attending music workshops at the school, with repertoire including Britten's Psalm 150 and Friday Afternoons. Our own musicians from Year 4, 5 and 6 also attended composition workshops with the Britten Sinfonia in Holt and Norwich.
Gresham's Britten 100 exhibition visited The Forum in Norwich as well as being displayed at every school festival event, and in April, the School released its own unique First Day Cover, designed by international stamp designer Jennifer Toombs MCSD, which features the Royal Mail's new Britten postage stamp.
Capriol Film's drama-documentary Benjamin Britten, Peace and Conflict was released in May 2013. Largely filmed at Gresham's in Autumn 2012, School pupils and staff enjoyed contributing to the filming and working with the likes of pianist Iain Burnside, tenor James Gilchrist and Hollywood legend, John Hurt.
The third annual International Britten Music Course took place at Gresham's Prep School in July 2013 with Tom Appleton (Old Greshamian, Monteverdi Choir) and the European Union Chamber Orchestra.
November saw the culmination of the festival with many more concerts, including whole-school performances of Noye's Fludde and a special concert of music written by Britten whilst he was a boy at the school preceded by a talk given by Britten's nephew, John Britten.
To celebrate Benjamin Britten's 100th birthday, on 22nd November an event was held in the Auden Theatre where Norfolk primary schools, along with Gresham's Prep School choir, sang a number of songs from Britten's Friday Afternoons. The project was led by Director of Music Outreach at Gresham's, Tom Appleton (also guest conductor of the National Youth Choir of Great Britain and member of the Monteverdi Choir).
Gresham's also featured as part of BBC Radio 3's Britten Centenary weekend on 23rd and 24th November; to view a slideshow on their website, click here.

Jesse Adam Eisenberg ( ; born October 5, 1983) is an American actor, playwright, director, humorist and narrator. He has received various accolades, including nominations for an Academy Award, two BAFTA Awards, a Golden Globe Award and two Screen Actors Guild Awards.

He made his television debut with the short-lived comedy-drama series Get Real (1999–2000). Following his first leading role in the comedy-drama film Roger Dodger (2002), he appeared in the films The Emperor's Club (2002), The Village (2004), The Squid and the Whale (2005), and The Education of Charlie Banks (2007). He is also known for playing Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in David Fincher's film The Social Network (2010), which earned him nominations for the BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Academy Award for Best Actor.

In 2009, Eisenberg had his breakthrough with starring roles in the comedy-drama film Adventureland, and the horror comedy Zombieland. He has since starred in the Woody Allen films To Rome with Love (2012) and Café Society (2016), the heist films Now You See Me (2013), its 2016 sequel and the dramas The Double (2013), The End of the Tour (2015), The Art of Self-Defense (2019). In 2016, he portrayed Lex Luthor in the superhero film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and he reprised the role in Justice League (2017). He also voiced Blu in the animated films Rio (2011) and Rio 2 (2014). In 2022, he starred in the FX / Hulu miniseries adaptation of Fleishman Is in Trouble. He released his film directorial debut with the A24 film When You Finish Saving the World (2023).

Eisenberg has contributed pieces to The New Yorker and McSweeney's websites. He has written and starred in three plays for the New York stage: Asuncion, The Revisionist, and The Spoils. He released his first book, Bream Gives Me Hiccups: and Other Stories in 2015.

Early life

Jesse Adam Eisenberg was born in Astoria, in the Queens borough of New York City on October 5, 1983, and grew up in East Brunswick, New Jersey. His mother, Amy (née Fishman), who now teaches cross cultural sensitivity in hospitals, previously worked as a clown named Bonabini at children's parties and as a director/choreographer for a high school for 20 years. His father, Barry Eisenberg, drove a taxicab, then worked at a hospital, and later became a college professor, teaching sociology. He has two sisters: Hallie Eisenberg, a former child actress who was once famous as the "Pepsi girl" in a series of commercials; and Kerri Eisenberg, now Kerry Lea, who also worked as an actress, ran a vegetarianism- and animal rights-based children's theatre troupe, and is now an independent artist in New York.

Eisenberg was raised in a secular Jewish household, with his ancestry tracing back to Poland and Ukraine. He attended the East Brunswick Public Schools at Frost Elementary School, Hammarskjold Middle School (6th & 7th), Churchill Junior High School (8th & 9th), and spent his sophomore and junior years at East Brunswick High School. He then transferred to the Professional Performing Arts School in New York for his senior year. When he was a senior, he received his breakthrough role in the independent comedy-drama film Roger Dodger. His work in the film prevented him from enrolling at New York University. Instead, he studied anthropology and contemporary architecture at The New School in Greenwich Village, where he majored in liberal arts, with a focus on democracy and cultural pluralism.

Eisenberg struggled to fit in at school due to an anxiety disorder, and began acting in plays at an early age. When he was seven he starred as Oliver Twist in a children's theater production of the musical Oliver!, and by 12 he was an understudy in the 1996 Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams' Summer and Smoke. At 13, he understudied the role of Young Scrooge in a musical version of A Christmas Carol starring Tony Randall. He had his first professional role in Arje Shaw's off-Broadway play The Gathering at age 16. He said, "When playing a role, I would feel more comfortable, as you're given a prescribed way of behaving."

Eisenberg started writing screenplays at 16, some of which were optioned by major studios, but he claimed that he was dissatisfied with the lack of control he had over his creations once they were sold. He once got into trouble with Woody Allen's lawyers when, as a teenager, he penned a play about how Allen came to change his name and managed to get the script to Allen's "people". Instead of a seal of approval, he received two cease and desist letters. Eisenberg later starred in two films directed by Allen, To Rome with Love and Café Society.

Career

1999–2008: Early work
Eisenberg made his television debut in the series Get Real, from 1999 to 2000. In 2001, he appeared in a UK Dr Pepper commercial as "Butt Naked Boy." After appearing in the made-for-television film Lightning: Fire from the Sky at 18, he starred in the independent film Roger Dodger (for which he won an award at the San Diego Film Festival for Most Promising New Actor), and in The Emperor's Club, both of which were released in 2002 to generally positive reviews. Eisenberg was sick for the majority of the nightclub scene and can be seen sweating in different shots.

In 2005, Eisenberg appeared in Cursed, a horror film directed by Wes Craven, and The Squid and the Whale, a well-reviewed independent drama starring Laura Linney and Jeff Daniels. In 2007, he starred opposite Richard Gere and Terrence Howard in The Hunting Party, a comic thriller in which he plays an American journalist reporting from Bosnia and was also cast in the indie comic-drama Holy Rollers alongside his sister, Hallie Eisenberg, who played his fictional sister in the film. He played a young Hasidic Jew who becomes involved in the ecstasy smuggling trade, using his religion as a disguise to deal without suspicion. Filming took place in New York in 2008. In 2009, Eisenberg played the lead role alongside Kristen Stewart which would be the first of many collaborations between them in Adventureland, a comedy directed by Greg Mottola and filmed in Kennywood Park, near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Filming wrapped in October 2007, and the film had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in 2009. During the late 2000s, he also had roles in the independent films Solitary Man, playing college student Daniel, and Camp Hell, a horror film directed by George Van Buskirk.

2009–2011: Breakthrough and critical success

Eisenberg's first major box office success was a lead role in the horror-comedy Zombieland (2009). He starred opposite Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin as a group of survivors on a road trip through a post-zombie apocalypse America, and was a sleeper hit. In 2010, he portrayed Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg in the film The Social Network, for which he earned the Best Actor Award from the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures, and nominations for Best Actor at the BAFTA Awards, Golden Globes, and Academy Awards but lost to Colin Firth for his performance of George VI in The King's Speech. According to the film's director, David Fincher, both he and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin knew Eisenberg was the one for the role as soon as they watched his audition tape, despite Eisenberg's own anxieties about his audition. On November 22, 2010, Eisenberg was honored, along with Whoopi Goldberg, Joycelyn Engle, and Harvey Krueger, at the Children at Heart Celebrity Dinner Gala and Fantasy Auction, to benefit the children of the Chernobyl disaster. Steven Spielberg serves as chair of the event each year.

On January 29, 2011, Eisenberg hosted Saturday Night Live on NBC, with musical guest Nicki Minaj. During his opening monologue, Zuckerberg himself appeared. Eisenberg said that meeting the man he portrayed on-screen was "an overwhelming experience," and was happy that "we were both able to have fun at the situation." Zuckerberg, who has complained frequently about the artistic licenses taken by The Social Network, would later say that he thought Eisenberg "was a little afraid to meet me after his portrayal, but I tried to be nice."

In 2011, he starred in the box-office animated hit Rio, as the main character Blu, a metropolitan, domesticated male Spix's macaw who learns how to fly. He starred alongside Anne Hathaway, his former co-star (and onscreen sibling) from Get Real, as well as George Lopez, Tracy Morgan, will.i.am, and Jamie Foxx. He featured in one song, "Real in Rio", in the film's soundtrack, which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song. He also starred alongside Aziz Ansari, Danny McBride, and Nick Swardson in 30 Minutes or Less, a film noir heist-comedy about a pizza delivery man, played by Eisenberg, who is forced to rob a bank, which was released in August 2011. In October 2011, Eisenberg made his playwriting debut in Rattlestick Playwrights Theater's Off-Broadway production of Asuncion, staged at Cherry Lane Theatre. Eisenberg also acted in the play, which was directed by Kip Fagan. The play highlights two overeducated, liberal-minded friends, played by Eisenberg and Justin Bartha, whose assumptions are challenged by their new Filipina roommate, played by Camille Mana.

2012–present
In 2012, he starred alongside Melissa Leo in Why Stop Now, a drama about a drug addict mother (Leo) and her piano prodigy son (Eisenberg), and in the magical realist romantic comedy To Rome with Love, directed by Woody Allen. That same year, he filed a $3 million lawsuit against the producers of the 2010 direct-to-DVD film Camp Hell, claiming exploitation. According to the lawsuit, Eisenberg agreed to appear in the film as a favor to his friends. He was on set for one day of filming in 2007, earned about $3,000, and logged only a few minutes of total screen time. Because of his minimal involvement in the production, he was surprised to see that his face was prominently featured on the cover of the DVD, implying that he starred in the film. His lawsuit asserts various California law causes of action, including claims for unfair business practices and publicity rights.

In 2013, Eisenberg reunited with Woody Harrelson for the magician heist thriller Now You See Me, playing a world-famous close-up magician and street performer recruited into a secret group of elite magicians to pull off bank heists with magic tricks, redistributing the money from a wealthy businessman (Michael Caine) to victims of his corrupt capitalist schemes. That year he announced his plan to continue writing, for both stage and screen, as well as continuing to act. He debuted his second play, The Revisionist, and starred in Richard Ayoade's drama, The Double (2013), which was shot in 2012. In the following years, Eisenberg reprised his role as Blu in Rio 2 (2014), and reunited with Stewart in the action comedy American Ultra (2015), playing a rogue sleeper agent being chased by the C.I.A.

In 2015, Eisenberg portrayed Rolling Stone journalist David Lipsky in the biographical drama film The End of the Tour, appearing opposite Jason Segel, who portrayed the late author David Foster Wallace. Eisenberg's third play, The Spoils, premiered off-Broadway in The New Group Perishing Square Signature Center Alice Griffin Box Theatre. The play featuring Eisenberg as Ben, also starring Kunal Nayyar, Michael Zegen, Erin Darke, and Annapurna Sriram, was the winner of The Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation Theatre Visions Fund Award. On September 8, 2015, Eisenberg released his first book, Bream Gives Me Hiccups, a collection of short humor pieces.

Eisenberg serves on the Board of Advisors for Playing On Air, a public radio show/podcast that works with contemporary playwrights to produce plays for "today's digital audience." He has written one short play for Playing On Air, called A Little Part of All of Us (2015), which he starred in with Justin Bartha. He has voiced for two other plays, The Final Interrogation of Ceaucescu's Dog (2015), written by Warren Leight, and The Blizzard (2016), written by David Ives and directed by John Rando. Eisenberg played the supervillain Lex Luthor in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which was released in March 2016, to generally negative reviews. His performance in particular was criticized by comic book fans and film reviewers, later earning him the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actor. He defended himself by saying he attempted to "make these people real and relatable and interesting and engaging."

Eisenberg then reunited with Woody Allen and Kristen Stewart (for the third time) in Café Society. The film held its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 11, 2016. Eisenberg next reprised his role as street magician J. Daniel "Danny" Atlas in Now You See Me 2, which was released on June 10, 2016, previewed June 9, to mixed reviews. The film was shot primarily in London and Macau. It grossed over $267 million worldwide, and Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer announced that they had "already begun early planning for Now You See Me 3.

On June 2, 2016, Eisenberg's play The Spoils began a run at London's Trafalgar Studios in the West End, with Scott Elliott returning to direct. Eisenberg again played the lead role, along with Nayyar and Sriram, while Zegen and Darke's characters were replaced by Alfie Allen and Katie Brayben respectively. In May 2016, Eisenberg teased that he would reprise his role of Lex Luthor in the Justice League film (2017). An official press kit, released by Warner Bros. on December 22, 2016, confirmed the return. He appeared as Luthor in the post-credits scene alongside Joe Manganiello, who played Slade Wilson/Deathstroke.

Eisenberg joined Riley Stearns's dark comedy The Art of Self-Defense alongside Imogen Poots and Alessandro Nivola. Principal photography began in Louisville, Kentucky, on September 11, 2017 and the film had its world premiere in 2019.

Eisenberg starred alongside Alexander Skarsgård as a high-frequency trader in Kim Nguyen's tech drama The Hummingbird Project that was released in 2018. In the same year, he produce Jeremy Workman's documentary The World Before Your Feet, which follows a 37-year-old man named Matt Green who has walked over 9,000 miles on the streets of New York City. In an interview with Variety, Eisenberg talked about the film, stating, "it's this fantastic tour of New York City. But more than that, its central character has this unusual relationship to his environment. He's simultaneously a tourist and a philosopher." The documentary premiered to critical acclaim at the 2018 South by Southwest Film Festival where it was acquired by distributor Greenwich Entertainment. It was released theatrically in November 2018 and has an approval rating of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. The same month he appeared in the Serbian TV series Žigosani u reketu as the owner of an NBA club.

In 2019, Eisenberg starred in the sequel Zombieland: Double Tap, directed by Ruben Fleischer. Writers of the first Zombieland, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, penned the script with David Callaham. Eisenberg's new play Happy Talk had its world premiere in 2019, with production by The New Group, marking his second collaboration with the company. The production is about "a suburban woman's efforts to take care of her family while starring in a community-theater production of South Pacific". Originally titled Yea, Sister, the show was directed by Scott Elliott.

Eisenberg portrayed the famous mime Marcel Marceau in 2020 film Resistance, written and directed by Jonathan Jakubowicz. It focused on Marceau's part in the French resistance during World War II. He also reappeared as Luthor in Zack Snyder's Justice League for altered post-credits scene version alongside Manganiello.

Eisenberg starred as Toby Fleishman in FX's limited series Fleishman is in Trouble opposite Lizzy Caplan. Created by Taffy Brodesser-Akner, it is an adaptation of her New York Times bestselling debut novel of the same name. The series premiered on FX on Hulu on November 17, 2022.

Eisenberg made his feature directorial debut in When You Finish Saving the World which was adapted from his own original audiobook series. The film stars Julianne Moore and Finn Wolfhard and is produced by his Zombieland co-star, Stone. The film premiered at 2022 Sundance Film Festival and was  released in cinemas on January 20, 2023.

As of 2017, he was set to write, direct, and star in Bad Robot's comedy The Market about a "recently widowed Harold Katzman who moves to Pittsburgh to live with his adult son, Stan (Eisenberg). Both men simultaneously lose their jobs due to the changing American economy and are thrust into an unforgiving job market." He will executive produce with J.J. Abrams and Ben Stephenson.

Personal life
Eisenberg dated Anna Strout from 2002 to 2012 after they met on the set of The Emperor's Club, where she worked as an assistant to Lisa Bruce. He then dated Mia Wasikowska, his co-star in The Double, from 2013 to 2015. He later resumed his relationship with Strout, and they married in 2017. Their son, Banner, was born in April 2017. Eisenberg lived in New York City with his younger sister Hallie and her boyfriend, singer-songwriter Owen Danoff, until June 2016, when Hallie and Danoff moved to Nashville, Tennessee.

Eisenberg had enjoyed playing the drums since he was eight years old. His favorite band is Ween.

In 2007, Eisenberg started an online wordplay website with his cousin, a social design evangelist at Facebook, called OneUpMe. They re-launched the site in 2010, instead exclusively formatted for Facebook users. Despite portraying Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in one of his most prominent film roles, Eisenberg does not use social media and said in 2016, "I'm terrified of that stuff. I live inside a bubble on purpose." When asked if he used Facebook to prepare for his role as Zuckerberg, he said that he "signed on for, like, 20 seconds one time".

Eisenberg has become deeply involved with the city of Bloomington, Indiana, having shown support for Indiana University Bloomington and donating thousands of dollars to Bloomington's Middle Way House. He lived in the city at one point during the COVID-19 pandemic. Eisenberg is also an alumnus of the Bloomington Playwrights Project. He is a fan of the Indiana Pacers basketball team. For an article he wrote for InStyle magazine, he played a game of one-on-one with an Indiana University MVP point guard. He is also a long-time fan of the Indy Thunder beep baseball team and its founder Darnell Booker.

Charity work and other interests
Eisenberg collaborated with Child Mind Institute in their #MyYoungerSelf project, where "each day in May a prominent individual will speak to his or her younger self about growing up with a mental health or learning disorder." In a video published on May 2, he spoke about his OCD and anxiety growing up. Eisenberg is fond of cats and has been involved in fostering animals. He has been associated with Farm Sanctuary and has presented at several of their galas. In 2015 he stated, "I'm like 95% vegetarian."

In September 2015, Eisenberg announced that from November, he would match donations made to Middle Way House, a domestic violence shelter in Bloomington, Indiana, up to $100,000 until April 3, 2016. All contributions made went towards the organization's mortgage payment fund that was matched by a committee, led by Eisenberg. "It's an incredible collective," Eisenberg told a reporter. "It's the kind of place where the residents go through their wonderful program and end up working there. It's saved so many lives." In an interview with Variety in March 2018, Eisenberg stated that he has raised almost $1 million for the shelter.

Eisenberg is a cast member with Theater of War, a performing arts non-profit that presents readings of Sophocles's Ajax and Philoctetes to military and civilian communities across the United States and Europe. "As an actor, sometimes you feel limited by the role you're in; stories without much meaning. [Theatre of War] allows you do something that has more substance and benefits people ... It's a greater purpose than just entertainment," Eisenberg said of the organization.

Eisenberg also works in performing for Voices of a People's History of the United States, which is an organization that works to "encourage civic engagement and to further history education by bringing the rich history of the United States to life through public readings of primary source materials." He read Howard Zinn's "The Problem is Civil Obedience" (1970) for Voices of a People's History as part of "NYU Portraits" 2011 event. Eisenberg is involved with Keep America Beautiful, which "[engages] individuals to take greater responsibility for improving their community environments," as well as Shoe Revolt, a "hybrid start-up company that auctions celeb shoes to raise funds to deploy a social franchising model which aims to educate, engage, and empower youth to take the lead in the fight against domestic sex trafficking through peer-to-peer involvement, training, activism and social enterprise development."

On September 12, 2016, Eisenberg, Cate Blanchett, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Peter Capaldi, Douglas Booth, Neil Gaiman, Keira Knightley, Juliet Stevenson, Kit Harington, and Stanley Tucci were featured in a video from the United Nations' refugee agency UNHCR to help raise awareness about the global refugee crisis. The video, titled "What They Took With Them", has the actors reading a poem, written by Jenifer Toksvig and inspired by primary accounts of refugees, and is part of UNHCR's #WithRefugees campaign, which also includes a petition to governments to expand asylum to provide further shelter, integrating job opportunities, and education.

Eisenberg participated in the inaugural "The 24 Hour Musicals: Los Angeles" on July 17, 2017, at the United Artists Theater, Ace Hotel. He composed the music and co-wrote, alongside his writing partner, Elizabeth Meriweather, Shoshana and Her Lovers, a musical about four lesbian sisters. The event proceeds went to the Dramatists Legal Defense Fund, a "nonprofit arm of the Dramatists Guild of America which advocates for the freedom of expression and advocates on behalf of all who are confronting censorship on stages across America." He previously acted in 24 Hour Plays: On Broadway 2011 and 2015, both times for New York's Urban Arts Partnership. He was a special guest at the 2011 Urban Arts Partnership Prom, and was an Honorary Chair on the organisation's 25th Anniversary Gala Benefit Committee. On March 29, Urban Arts Partnership announced Eisenberg as a special guest for its 2018 gala AmplifiED, dedicated to New Yorkers fighting inequality in public education.

Eisenberg was among a small group of actors and musicians who performed at The People's Summit 2017 in June, "a three-day conference of 4,000 left-wing activists and progressive political groups", as part of an adaptation of Howard Zinn's Voices of a People's History of the United States''''. The production, titled "The People Speak", was performed after Senator Bernie Sanders's keynote address. Eisenberg was cast by brother-in-law Anthony Arnove, who along with Zinn edited Voices of a People's History of the United States''.

Eisenberg spoke at a rally in support of Democratic Illinois gubernatorial candidate Daniel Biss on March 10, 2018, as well as at a meet and greet hosted by Reclaim Chicago and University of Chicago Student Action the day before, alongside State Representative Will Guzzardi. He filmed two videos for the campaign, one for Biss's Facebook account and one for the Biss For Illinois YouTube platform.

We're Hiring in 2016!
We're so excited to announce that we are hiring for the 2016 season. Do you think you have what it takes to be part of team Cape Ann SUP?! Do you like to paddle? Do you love meeting new people? We'd love to hear from you.
For more information about the openings click here.
Paddle on,
"If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life."
Well.. we LOVE what we do. We get up every day happy to get on the water, delivery boards and, ultimately, make people happy. ..But sometimes it would be nice to sleep in, go on our own paddle adventure or "take a sick day." Sometimes, it does feel like work, at least a little bit. That doesn't mean it's not enjoyable but, in the end, it is our job. It's what we do. You pay us to be the specialists, bring you awesome equipment and provide great service... for that (and many other reasons), we thank you.
That said, it's always important to unwind and relax after a long, busy and fun season of paddleboarding (and driving boards) around Cape Ann. Vacations & stay-cations are important. So, this year, we took on Costa Rica. 2 weeks.
No schedule. No alarm. No wetsuit.
Having said that, we were thinking about you (Cape Ann-ers) a lot of the time. "This place is magic. How can we get people down here?!" Well, here are the photos. Day dream away and start saving for that Cape Ann SUP retreat! ;-)

Women in our church are given many opportunities to serve and lead. We are encouraged to get an education and to follow our dreams. As I have pursued my goals in life, I have benefited from the wisdom of inspired church leaders. I felt particularly empowered by an address delivered last fall to the women of the church, called Mothers Who Know. In the talk, Julie B. Beck, the president of our women's organization offered many pearls of wisdom. Her main message was that there is "eternal influence and power in motherhood."
I agree with her statement about Mothers. The role that parents play has much more importance than any other job we can do in this life. When we were ready to jump into parenthood, my husband and I chose to do everything we could to make sure that I could stay home with our babies. I often say that being a stay-at-home Mom is the most challenging job that I have ever had...but it's worth it, and I have grown as a person because of it.
what a lovely tribute to your mom and your own decision to emulate her. your children are the winners. I stuggled throughout my life with having to work as a single parent and found school teaching offered the best combination or vacation and work days to be with my family and at the same school. but i always took advantage of the opportunity to be at home full time when i could. good for you!
"whatever we are doing..we will always stop and prioritize our children."
Thanks for posting again in spite of your busy and demanding schedule...i appreciate it a lot.
I loved this post. You expressed yourself very well and your words help even me to reconsider my job as a stay home mom and re-prioritize what I do with my time.
Your family all looks very happy.
This is a great entry. I love(d) that article.
Wow. *tear* That deication to family truly must be the best and greastest thing you can give them. I remember your dad, Bishop Hatch, tell the youth of our ward how you got your job at CNN. I thought that was so cool. But to give it all up for your family, well that is even more awsome. I often wonder why more mothers can't be stay-at-home moms. Their children would greatly benefit from it. In fact I'm greatful to my grandmother for always being there, at home. It gave her a greater chance to bring me up the right way. I commend you for your chose in staying home. I'm sure that Guy and Scarlet will both apprechiate, as do you.
What a wonderful testiment to motherhood. Thanks for sharing.
I just stumbled on your blog-- and I really enjoyed that article. Thanks for sharing!
I absolutely LOVE THIS! I never got to do the career type things that you did, and that was hard for me.
Why didn't I? What did I do instead? I met and married my husband at the age of 18. I went to college part time off and on while raising kids, but had to move away from the university I attended when my husband finished college and got a job elsewhere... (by the way, we had 4 kids by then). I planned to go back to school and finish my degree when the youngest entered school full time; but since I ended up having kids who really needed the one on one training... I ended up homeschooling them instead, as well as helping my husband with his business (mostly from an office in a corner of our bedroom).
Needless to say, a career has been out for me. I would love the fun... I would love the money... but I could never begin to love a career like I love my family. I LOVE being a mom!
But sometimes, there is a part of me that gets this unrealistic fantasy of the impossible and wants BOTH. I know that being a mom is THE BEST JOB EVER (even though it is the hardest), and I'm glad I made this choice. But now, while my husband is struggling to make ends meet financially... it is great to be reminded that the sacrifice is SO WORTH IT... and though I am missing something by staying home - I would be missing so much more if I wasn't home!! THANKS a million for the solid reminder from someone who obviously knows!!! :D Your example is so valued.
I love it! I'm a new follower, love your blog!!!
Thank you so much for this post! It has been a struggle these past few days with the kiddos. It is nice to be reminded of those things that are most important, BEING A MOM! I love it when my kids say, "mom, i love you." It makes my heart melt. I am a part time photographer, mostly a hobby photographer who thinks about going big, but I would miss out so much on my family and their experiences. Maybe someday but for now, I am a mom and I love it! Thanks so much for your insight.
You are incredible. Just flat out incredible!
