It is a tool for measuring a bearing, the angle between north and the direction we want to go.

Le Bonheur screening
2016-02-10 20:00 - 21:19 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Le Bonheur (AgnÃ¨s Varda, France 1965, 79 min., 35mm, French w/subtitles).
Inspired by Jean Renoir's Picnic in the Grass and, like it, by the pastoral paintings of French Impressionists, Le Bonheur is a wry social satire that subtly questions the ideal of the modern, happy family. In a deceptively cheery color palette, Varda depicts a handsome young carpenter (Jean-Claude Drouot) living contentedly with his wife and children (portrayed by Drouot's actual family), until he meets a pretty young clerk and the two begin an equally satisfying affair. But can these arrangements fulfill all involved? One of Varda's most provocative works, the film examines contemporary notions of happiness (le bonheur) and the politics of private life, anticipating the second wave of feminism.

Contemporary Book Discussion Group, "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot (2016-Feb-11 @ 3 p.m.)
2016-02-11 15:00 - 16:00 | Irondequoit Public Library, 1290 Titus Ave., Rochester, New York, 14617, United States
Irondequoit Public Library is hosting a Contemporary Book Discussion Group on The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot.
Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, yet her cells—taken without her knowledge—became one of the most important tools in medicine. If you could pile all HeLa cells ever grown onto a scale, they'd weigh more than 50 million metric tons—as much as a hundred Empire State Buildings. HeLa cells were vital for developing the polio vaccine; uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses, and the atom bomb's effects; helped lead to important advances like in vitro fertilization, cloning, and gene mapping; and have been bought and sold by the billions. Yet Henrietta Lacks remains virtually unknown, buried in an unmarked grave.
