DJAC Lately: Monica Nickolai

The nature of being artists allows us to document change and growth as it is happening. We can compare our current work to past work to understand our own development, depict a glimpse of our growth in the midst of it, or even use our art to comment on evolution that we see elsewhere. In DJAC Lately, we’ll take a look at the artists who’ve been with the Collective, and are currently in the country, to get an idea of what they’re doing and how far they’ve come.

Coming to South Korea has allowed multimedia artist Monica Nickolai to explore art in different ways linguistically, culturally, and philosophically. Like others who’ve found themselves in contact with a new set of cultural elements, Nickolai’s personal and artistic evolution came partially from taking a second look at her cultural background but this time, from the outside.

The DJAC checked in with Nickolai to see what she’s been up to since joining the Collective in 2014. Below are some edited excerpts from the interview.

Q. What is your general process when it comes to creating artwork?
A. Generally, my art starts with sketchbook writing. I enjoy free-writing, especially within a particular place. In the past, I’ve done a lot of work based loosely around dérives, a writing practice that involves walking around urban areas. I also enjoy just having a notebook around to jot down thoughts I have throughout the day.

Q. Does your work start tend to start with the concept, and then evolve into media?
A. Generally, my work is concept-driven, but I also enjoy playing with new media, especially digital technology.

Q. If you can define any evolution to your work over the years, how would you describe it?
A. As with any practicing artist, a number of factors have influenced my growth and interest. I have been working to merge content and form of my work more evenly, and I have been especially aware of capturing language as a form. Also, I have been thinking of art less and less as making “stuff”. I like to think of art as a practice of finding meaning in life, and of the art that results as archaeology, a visual means of sharing my journey with the world.

Q. Can you give an example of how you’d like to merge content and form more evenly? Maybe something you’re currently working on?
A. [This would] mean more time spent making in my studio and less time spent planning and conceptualizing. Recently, I had an idea for an aphorism (one-line poem) that I wanted to paint, thinking I had the aphorism, an idea of how to paint it, and all the supplies; I thought all that all I needed was to execute it. However, the painting more or less rejected my idea. Now, I think I should have played with my idea more, created more experiments with materials before proceeding with my final idea. The paint – form – and my idea of an aphorism – concept – were just too disparate to co-exist. At times, I get so caught up with wanting to create “great work” that I forget the importance of play and experimentation, which people who view my work don’t see.

Q. How has living in South Korea influenced your work?
A. It’s allowed me to work with language, education, philosophy, history, and culture. It’s helped me to see how much about my life I have taken for granted as the “natural” way of doing things, when in fact many cultural practices are the results of history-driven ideology. I no longer believe in total objectivity and see life much more as something mutable and transient.

Q. Where can we see that in the art you’ve made lately?
A. The piece I showed at the last DJAC show A No-no reflected my experience in Korea. For one, it’s neon, which is commonly used in Korea. For another, it was written partially in hangeul. Its title, “A No-no”, is another expression for taboo, and taboos vary from culture to culture, as does language. 노 (no) translates as forge, hearth, oar, and string. It becomes a kind of prohibition, but because of the layers of language and cultural meaning, one isn’t sure what is being prohibited. The work illustrates context determines meaning, and language is more than a collection of linguistic objects with fixed meanings. In fact, as Noam Chomsky illustrated in his famous sentence,  “Colorless green ideas sleep furiously,” even grammatically correct utterances can be without meaning. Many of the basic premises behind this work came out of my experience as a language teacher and learner in Korea.
Screen Shot 2016-03-27 at 1.48.03 PM

Q. What are you working on now?
A. Most of my work is currently in the scribble stage. I’ve been working a little bit with drawing and excising text from Shakespeare’s King Lear to create new compositions. I’m also learning coding and interaction design, which I hope will bring a technological edge to my work in the future.

UN Calls on Countries to Take Action to Prevent Drowning

The U.N. General Assembly encouraged all countries Wednesday to take action to prevent drownings, which have caused over 2.5 million deaths in the past decade, over 90% of them in low-income and middle-income countries.

The resolution, co-sponsored by Bangladesh and Ireland and adopted by consensus by the 193-member world body, is the first to focus on drowning. It establishes July 25 as “World Drowning Prevention Day.”

The assembly stresses that drowning “is preventable” using “low-cost interventions” and calls on countries to consider introducing water safety, swimming and first aid lessons as part of school curricula. It encourages nations to appoint “a national focal point for drowning prevention,” develop countrywide prevention programs, and enact and enforce water safety laws.

Unlike Security Council resolutions, General Assembly resolutions are not legally binding but they do reflect global opinion.

According to the United Nations, the world’s highest drowning rates are in Africa while the highest number of drowning deaths are in Asia.

“Drowning is a social equity issue that disproportionately affects children and adolescents in rural areas, with many countries reporting drowning as the leading cause of childhood mortality and drowning being among the 10 leading causes of death globally for 5- to 14-year-olds,” the resolution says.

It notes “with concern” that the official global estimate of 235,000 annual deaths from drowning excludes drownings attributed to flood-related climate events and water transport incidents. This has resulted “in the underrepresentation of drowning deaths by up to 50 percent in some countries,” it says.

The assembly says that “water-related disasters increasingly affect millions of people globally,” in part due to the escalating impact of climate change, “and that flooding affects more people than any other natural hazard, with drowning being the main cause of death during floods.”

Bangladeshi Ambassador Rabab Fatima told the assembly after the resolution’s adoption: “The imperative to act on drowning is not simply moral or political. The economic cost is equally untenable.”

He said drowning is a leading cause of child mortality in Bangladesh and in the South Asia region, and the resolution’s call for preventive action is urgent.

Ireland’s U.N. ambassador, Geraldine Byrne Nason, called the resolution and designation of July 25 as a day for the world to focus on preventing drowning a moment “to highlight the immediate need for strategic and significant international action to save lives and prevent hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths.”

Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the World Health Organization’s global ambassador for noncommunicable diseases and injuries, said: “Encouraging governments to adopt effective measures to prevent drowning will save thousands of lives and call attention to this urgent public health issue.”

“We have the tools to prevent these deaths – and need to act on them now,” he said in a statement.

5 Tips for Safely Welcoming Your Adopted Dog Into Your Home

5 Tips for Safely Welcoming Your Adopted Dog Into Your Home

5 Tips for Safely Welcoming Your Adopted Dog Into Your Home

Written by: Paige Johnson for DMK Rehoming

Photo via thatsphotography

Congratulations! If you’ve made the wonderful decision to adopt a dog, you’ve both saved a life and taken a step in making yours even better. There are a few things to keep in mind to ensure a smooth transition to your pup’s new home. Here are five of the most important ones:

  1. Make sure the kids know the best ways to interact

A new pet is exciting, but an overstimulated child can quickly overwhelm a dog that’s already facing a lot of changes. Talk to your kids about dog etiquette, and explain that the new member of the family is going to need time to adjust. They should give it space at dinnertime, pet it on its side or back, and approach it calmly. They also need to be prepared for the dog to be protective over its toys and to play cautiously.

  1. Help pets already at home adjust

If you already have another pet at home, you’ll want to take steps to prepare it for the new dog. Start by letting each smell a blanket or towel with the other’s scent on it, even keeping it somewhere nearby. When you move on to a face-to-face meeting, keep the dog on its leash and ease into the interaction. Don’t force either animal to acknowledge or sniff the other, and be prepared to separate them. Make sure they each have their own beds, food and water dishes, and toys, ideally in their own areas. With time, they’ll get used to each other.

  1. Give your new dog a safe space

Moving to a foreign environment with brand new sights, smells, people, and sounds is going to be a major adjustment for your pup no matter what. Make sure it has a safe spot to decompress, like a crate or designated corner with a bed. If the dog starts to act out, it may just need some quiet time, so be sure to leave it alone if it chooses to separate itself.

  1. Establish a daily routine

The sooner you can get your dog on your regular schedule, the better. Not only will it make the transition smoother for everyone, it will give the dog a comforting sense of consistency. Feed and walk it at the same times every day, and reinforce the commands and words you want it to learn. Make sure everyone has a turn with responsibilities throughout the day so your dog knows to obey each member of the family.

  1. Spend special time together each day

There will probably be some days that you get home and feel too tired from work or school to play with your dog, but it’s important that you give it some special attention every day. Everyone in the family should make a point to spend some time playing and petting the dog each day, ideally at different times so that it is consistent affection but not overwhelming. The more secure the dog feels, the more it will realize that this is its new home.

Above all, show your new dog love, patience, and understanding. Give each other time to adjust, and soon you won’t be able to remember not having the new pup in the family!

1. Column type Reference to another class

    Article: AN0001609Updated:

    This type is used for storing a reference to values from another class. It can be either a class created by a user or the internal ObjectGears class containg users. The column can be defined as a reference to one or more records from the given class.

    Name Description
    Reference type It determines, wheather one or more values will be selected in the column.
    Reference to a user It determines, wheather the reference will be to ObjectGears user.
    Referenced class If ObjectGears user is not referred, it determines class, from which referred records are selected.
    Class for record restriction

    It determines class, that will be used for limitation of record selection. If reference to a single record is chosen and the referred class refers to another class, to which class, in which we define the reference, refers in another column, this class is offered here.

    Order according to the column It determines column from the referred class, according to which records iń the control for selection will be ordered.
    Ascending order It defines ascending/descending order of the records in the referenced class in the selection.
    Redirect to page It defines page, to which the user will be redirected when clicking on the link in the column. If it is not filled in, the user is redirected to the detail of the referred record.
    Name of the variable for ID in url It determines name of the variable in the URL link containing Id of the record that shall be displayed in the page.
    Number of displayed records When referring to more records it determines number of records displayed in the control, i.e. the height of the control.

    You can find further information and examples in Examples and recommended techniques: Use of column of the reference type.

    Tab reference

    It is possible to define a filter in the tab Reference for restriction of displayed records. When using the filter we recommend to check also property Selection in the Search form.

    At the same time you can select columns that will be displayed in the Search form. If you do not select anything, only short description will be displayed.

    Name of the variable for ID in url

    If you set column Redirect to page, you have to also fill in Name of the variable for ID in url. This is used for creation of an address, to which the user will be redirected when clicking on the reference in the list of records or in the record detail form.

    Redirect to page = page with ID 10

    Name of the variable for ID in url = xyz

    Id of the record in the class, in which the link is displayed = 30

    The result url will be:

Friday, 06 December 2019 / Published in DokeV, News, PA

Today Pearl Abyss gave us a couple of new things to check out for their upcoming game DokeV, with some new images and a singalong video. First off, the company gave us a few new images of the world as well as some promotional material that make it look like the game may involve mobile phones. Two of the photos show off an in-game environment that looks like it’s been designed to resemble any seaside country.

Meanwhile, for those of you who can’t get the DokeV main theme song out of your heads, they made a special lyrics video for you to sing along to the song “Rockstar”. Which you can do so below as we kept singing “cuz I’m a superstar” all weekend long at G-Star 2019. You can even download the song on the game’s official website.

Wednesday, 13 November 2019 / Published in DokeV, News, PA

Today on November 13th, Pearl Abyss held its 2019 G-Star Connect conference and showcased DokeV along with other new projects.

Sunday, 10 November 2019 / Published in News, PA

Today, the developer of Black Desert Online Pearl Abyss has announced the names of their upcoming games of which the trailers will debut in G-Star 2019. Pearl Abyss has released the teaser page and introduction of all the games and has said that more details about the games will be released in the G-Star 2019 on the 14th November.

Friday, 09 August 2019 / Published in News, PA

Pearl Abyss, the acclaimed developer of Black Desert Online, today announced its financial earnings for the most recent quarter. Since the document is all in Korean, I will talk about the important numbers such as Q2 2019 having the company’s best performing quarter in terms of sales, and a mega 266% rise in net profits compared to the previous quarter. Yes, Pearl Abyss is making tons of money. Overall, the overseas market (outside of South Korea) makes up for 74% of sales. A sound strategy to focus on us overseas gamers!

As with each quarterly financial call, companies will talk about their upcoming projects, and that is the case as well with Pearl Abyss. Here, I will break down each of their new games and talk briefly about them:

Project CD – A new “AAA” RPG title not based on the Black Desert IP targeting the global audience. It will be based on the experiences and insights which Pearl Abyss has obtained through developing Black Desert. Project CD is the main reason why Pearl Abyss decided to build a new next-generation engine for all its other new projects. While the main platform is console, Pearl Abyss is looking at a simultaneous cross-platform launch with PC, mobile, and streaming services. No word on a schedule yet, so stay tuned for more on this one!

Shadow Arena – I am not sure why this is mentioned as a separate game, since it is a battle royale game mode in Black Desert Online. Apparently it is a spin-off game based on the Black Desert IP. We shall see if this is officially announced soon, or my sources are having too much makgeolli…

Project K and Project V – Not much was mentioned except that Project K is a “casual” shooting game and Project V(Now known as DokeV) is a family friendly mmorpg developed using the new engine.

Joyeux Noël: A Film Discussion Guide

Joyeux Noël (Merry Christmas) (France, 2005); directed by Christian Carion

In an earlier post, I recommended the film Joyeux Noël. The DVD of this wonderful foreign film can be viewed with English subtitles. Here are the discussion questions I’ve used recently in my course on Faith, Film and Philosophy:

  1. Many film critics, even some who give it high marks, say this film is “sentimental.” What do you think they mean by that? What evidence could be cited in support of the claim that the film is sentimental?
  2. Audebert, the French Lieutenant, draws something he’s seen on the wall of his quarters. What does he draw? Why does he draw this? Does this have any significance for the film as a whole? Explain your answer.
  3. Is it reasonable to the think of the alarm clock as a character in the film? Explain the role(s) played by this clock throughout the film.
  4. Why does Anna Sörensen say to the German officer, “Our minutes our longer than yours”? What does she mean? Does her statement have any larger significance for the film?
  5. Father Palmer is scolded by a British General from the back line. He admonishes the priest, “You’re supposed to save lives, not endanger them” (or something like that). Has Father Palmer actually saved lives? Would the General agree? Explain your answer.
  6. What is the message of this film? Support your answer.
  7. There’s a priest and a bishop, and many prayers are said. Mass is observed by most of the soldiers from all sides. Is this a religious film? What view of faith or religion does the film seem to affirm? Defend your answers.
  8. Briefly describe a scene that was moving to you or spoke to you. What did you feel while watching this scene? Do you think the director intended for you to have that feeling at that point in the film? Explain your answer.
  9. When German Lieutenant Horstmayer sends Sprink, the male tenor, back to the city for one night, he tells the musician, “Artists like you are a dead loss.” What does he mean by this? What does Sprink believe he can do for the soldiers on the front line? Do you think Horstmayer changes his mind at any time during the film? What does this film “say” about the value of the arts? Do you agree?
  10. Is it significant that the Horstmayer is Jewish? Briefly explain your answer.
  11. Does the Bishop who reprimands Father Palmer near the end really believe the things he says to the priest, and the things he says in his prayer and admonition before the soldiers? How did you feel hearing him say these things? What would you say to a person who says, “I can’t accept Christianity because of people like him”?
  12. Why does the priest hang up the wooden cross he was wearing and leave the room? What will he do now that he’s being sent back to his parish in Scotland?
  13. When does Audebert learn that he has a newborn son? At that moment he begins to cry. Is he happy? Is he sad? Is he both happy and sad? How is that possible?
  14. In the end we learn that the French General, who has been so attentive to Audebert’s military career, is Audebert’s father. Is this at all startling? Does it make any difference to the meaning of the movie that they are father and son?
  15. Is there a central character in this film? Explain your answer.
  16. Would you agree that this is a “Christmas movie”? Explain your answer.
  17. Would you have any interest in seeing this film without subtitles? Explain your answer.

    Thank you, Brad!

  2. Nice looking blog!

  3. Edward T. Babinski says:

    The cease fire only took place in some parts of the front, correct?

    I think it’s interesting that Europe, the seat of Catholicism and Protestantism, invented steel, invented far-sailing ships, invented powerful guns, carried deadly germs, and then went round the world enslaving people for money and pounding their religion into them, and then came back home with the wealth of continents, and built a tremendous civilization, including the most deadly weapons on earth and then began using them against each other in World Wars, two of them.

    How does this prove Christianity is superior? Church going Christians all through Europe gassing each other to death. Even in the Second World War, Mussolini was no atheist, neither was Hitler, nor Hirohito. In fact Hitler praised God and country and raged against the degradation of atheists and atheism, and the Nazi party started in a highly Catholic part of Germany, many founding members were Catholic. And Hitler was elected mainly by votes from common people who lived outside the cities. Inside the cities the votes he rec’d were even with other candidates. Christian elected Hitler to power, after praying no doubt, going to church each week.

    I might add that while Christians were tearing each other apart in WW1, during the last year of that war, that’s when the Russian Revolution took place that dethroned the Czar.

    And only after the Shinto Emperor led country of Japan had invaded China, and committed numerous atrocities, decimating China, did the Chinese people turn to communism rather than to the long hated Western colonizing Christian powers.

    History works that way. Give and take.

Does Islam Have a Monopoly on Violent Religous Intolerance?

The western world is still trying to make sense of the Charlie Hebdo murders in Paris on January 7, 2015. Four days later, in his Forbes column, Doug Bandow offered a unique analysis. He makes an interesting and persuasive argument that there is much more at stake than free speech. What lies at the root of this incident, reflected time and again in one atrocity after another, is religious persecution meted out against dissenters.

Here is one especially thought-worthy paragraph:

The thugs who cut down a dozen [people at] Charlie Hebdo are the international cousins of those who murder alleged blasphemers and apostates in Muslim nations. Laws against blasphemy once were common in the West, and persist in a few nations—some, ironically, represented by government leaders who marched in Paris—and even a couple of American states, but are rarely used. However, blasphemy laws are actively enforced throughout the Muslim world. The irony is that where Islam is strongest, with belief by overwhelming popular majorities and support from authoritarian state authorities, the slightest perceived criticism of the dominant faith can result in prison or death. That suggests lack of confidence in the truth of Islam and fear of free inquiry by free minds.

The last two sentences draw attention to a neglected point. Would a religious group that is secure in its beliefs be as hypersensitive as those who murder alleged blasphemers?

I would add that such horrific actions—which are a daily occurrence somewhere in the world—are rooted in a worldview, a set of controlling beliefs that are either true or false. Our public discussion needs to acknowledge this point. There has been plenty of talk about whether Islam is a “peaceful religion” that has been hijacked by militant apostates (notice, they aren’t generally called “apostates” even by moderate Muslim leaders). But this distracts from three more fundamental questions:

  1. Peaceful or not, is Islam true?
  2. Are there are good reasons to believe that Islam is true?
  3. What are the best reasons to believe that Islam offers the most plausible worldview?

The atrocities we’re witnessing should prompt us to give more attention to this question.

Healdsburg Fest ‘Spiritually’ Important for California

Kenny Garrett performs during the 2017 edition of the Healdsburg Jazz Festival in Healdsburg, California.

(Photo: George Wells)

Artistically successful jazz festivals offer a point of view that reflects both geographic locale and, when possible, the aesthetic of the programmer.

As the Healdsburg Jazz Festival marks its 20th anniversary June 1–10, its setting in California’s wine country and the vision of founder Jessica Felix are worthy of celebration.

“I can’t believe we made it,” Felix said. “For the 20th anniversary, I decided that it’s going to be a bigger festival than we’ve ever had.”

For opening night, guitarists Bill Frisell and Julian Lage—a native of Santa Rosa, about 15 miles southeast of Healdsburg, who has been playing the festival since his days as a tween prodigy—will perform a pair of shows as a duo.

A double bill on June 2 with the Fred Hersch Trio and Trio da Paz features guest clarinetist Anat Cohen and vocalist Claudia Villela. The opening weekend concludes with tenor saxophonist Charles Lloyd performing a concert to mark his 80th birthday alongside tabla maestro Zakir Hussain, pianist Gerald Clayton, bassist Harish Raghavan, drummer Eric Harland and “surprise guests.”

“If you hold a mirror up to a sign saying ‘Healdsburg Jazz Festival,’ you will see the image of Jessica Felix staring back at you,” Lloyd wrote in an email. “Jessica Felix’s passion for great jazz is palpable and her hospitality is incomparable.”

Lloyd’s first concert in the California city was in a duo with the late drummer Billy Higgins during 1997, when Felix was testing the waters by booking shows prior to launching the event in 1999.

The lineup this year reflects that kind of history. Included amid the festivities is a mid-week concert by bandleader and Santa Rosa native Adam Theis, who will be performing with his Costa Nostra Strings project. The ensemble will be complemented by guest vocalist and spoken-word artist Emcee Infinite.

A young Theis participated in and helped promote the inaugural festival, Felix said: “I had a truck, and we put Adam’s band on the back and went around town going, ‘Come to the festival.’”

Geri Allen originally was booked for a June 8 performance. The program, initially planned with saxophonist Ravi Coltrane, bassist Dave Holland and drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, has been reimagined as a tribute to the recently deceased pianist-composer. There’s a double bill the following night with the George Cables Trio and a Festival All-Stars group that includes alto saxophonist Bobby Watson, drummer Billy Hart and percussionist Babatunde Lea.

“I had a lot of festival family that I wanted to book this year, so this was one way to include as many as I could,” Felix said.

A pair of high-profile events also is scheduled. “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” a free morning concert, will showcase the Marcus Shelby Big Band with flutist James Newton, vocalist Ruth Naomi Floyd and the 100-member Freedom Jazz Choir. And Dr. Michael White’s Original Liberty Jazz Band makes a rare West Coast appearance as well.

In the past, California’s wine country made the news for a rash of fires and mudslides: “It’s very important that people realize that we’re OK and that coming here will actually benefit us, because all the businesses have taken a very big hit after people stopped coming,” Felix said. “We were all hard-hit, and this festival’s going to be important spiritually and economically for the area.”

A Los Angeles native, Felix said she grew up on the late-’60s jazz of Lloyd, John Handy and Pharoah Sanders. She graduated from Sonoma State University and eventually settled in the East Bay, founding the Eddie Moore Festival, before relocating to Healdsburg. A longtime friend of drummer Higgins, she embraced his vision for jazz education and has incorporated that into the festival through local efforts.

“Little by little, she has taken the town of Healdsburg by the hand and elevated their experience and knowledge of America’s indigenous art form, jazz,” Lloyd wrote. “She has teamed up with area schools to introduce it to every age group. This has been a beautiful thing to witness.”

MC Class

The MC class is one of the fastest growing classes in the country and we are glad to be a part of it! My MC sails design won multiple Midwinters and Nationals over the years by a number of sailors. You can count on me for the best go-fast information in the class as I have won the Midwinters, Masters Nationals and Nationals. Our XP sail design works for sailors over a wide range of weight and skill ranges. It has the power for the big boys and the ability to de-power when the wind kicks up. In recent years no other sail has shown more success. We also make a heavy air sail that is flatter and has less roach than the XP. A number of smaller customers who sail without crew have increased their heavy air performance with this sail. Each sail is built by me to ensure superior quality.

STOP the Bullying and Show Some LOVE

demi lovato

“Words can hurt. They hurt me. Things were said to me that I still haven’t forgotten.” -Demi Lovato

Sticks and Stones may break my bones but words will never harm me. Unfortunately the old adage is incorrect and the scars of abuse from childhood bullies still remain. The effects lingered into all aspects of life and relationships with friends, coworkers, and love. It is something I have dealt with my entire life and it has taken me 30+ years to come to terms.

This isn’t your typical pumpkin pie post. October is National Bullying Prevention Month and I am taking this opportunity to open up and utilize my voice and blog as a platform to get a message across.

The topic of bullying has been around for a long time and I have shied away from addressing it, probably, because it opens up too much of my life and who I am. As a professional in the marketing world I usually keep my personal image and business image separate, as do many people in all industries, but why should I hide from something that wasn’t my fault?

When I was in grade school I was bullied. Yes, I had braces and the usual pre-teen angst but it went beyond that. The boys, (bullies) were relentless. Not only would they taunt me with words but at times it was physical. Even though these children were very different they all had the same issue. They needed LOVE. Their home life may have been broken, filled with divorce, lack of attention, and low self-esteem.

So, they chose to project their insecurities onto me and I carried the load for all of us.

I think because this type of abuse doesn’t leave bruises we don’t treat it the same as physical violence, but it does in fact leave bruises that the victims can’t get rid of. These bruises not only stay with us but they change who we are and who we may become. It is the responsibility of educators to identify these issues and work with parents on both sides to correct the issue. Telling the child that is bullied to get a thicker skin and not address the children doing the bullying is WRONG. And parents, it starts at home; show your children LOVE.

From childhood bullies to adulthood I faced an abusive relationship of seven years. People that are closest to me know my battle and for some this will be a surprise and a shock. My point in discussing all of this and exposing abuse is to let people know childhood bullying extends beyond the schoolyard and it can become severe.

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.
Maya Angelou, Letter to My Daughter

I started the dialogue, now I want you to continue and STOP THE BULLYING. I urge you to find a friend, coworker or child and talk to someone about bullying. Share your story or mine and share your thoughts, and a little LOVE.

Do And Say Something

Do and say something

Do and say something… your voice matters

I believe we have a voice for a reason. With that in mind, I keep using mine in places where I think it will matter. I work diligently to formulate messages so I’m heard and understood, but I know that my voice, and yours too, is often drowned out by the chaos and loud chatter that makes the world confusing, unwelcome, and frustrating.

What’s the special for the day?

And the special for the day is…

Nothing, absolutely Nothing!

Were you expecting something better?

People always want to have a special for the day. It doesn’t matter where they are and what they are doing, if there is no special, there’s no day.

If you really want a special so badly, take this instead:

What makes someone or something special? Where’s does special come from? Are we all special?

The definition of special is extraordinary, unique, or exceptional.

They say certain people are special while others are not, but how can they say that.

Comment on this post if you think you are special and why. Then, I will write another post on this topic of how special our lives are.

Would this plugin be useful for users who are security-minded, but not real techy, to supplement their commercial AV product, say when going to a site that hasn't been evaluated by McAfee site advisor?

Looks like the virus total add-in isn't recognized by Mozilla as working with the current Firefox version.

I actually suggested such an extension, using virustotal, on this very website in Feb 2008. MarkH@isc replied:

"They idea is certainly good, but there are a couple of challenges.
The number of malware hashes is a bit large. one of the other handlers had some stats, but in the last year the known new malware hashes was over 1 million. Storm at one stage was pumping out a newly packed file (ie differnt hash) every 2 minutes.

The other challenge might be that typically you'd have to download the file first. Which in some cases makes it to late.

That said there are a number of AV vendors that seem to be using this method and their detection rate for older stuff is really good, new, therefore no hash, not so."

I disagreed with this at the time - it wasn't supposed to be an end-all solution, but another brick in the wall.

Nice to see it taking off tho, every little helps. I like the URL scanning feature of this extension, very nice indeed.

Carlos Alomar
Background information
Born 1951 Ponce, Puerto Rico
Occupation Guitarist, composer, arranger
Associated acts David Bowie

Carlos Alomar (born 1951 in Ponce, Puerto Rico) is an American guitarist, composer and arranger best known for his work with David Bowie, having played on more Bowie albums than any other musician. His work has also included performing on Arcadia's So Red the Rose album.

Biography[edit | edit source]

Alomar was raised in New York. From the age of ten he taught himself to play the guitar, and started playing professionally at age sixteen. In the 1960s he performed during "Amateur Hour" at the Apollo Theater, eventually joining the House Band, backing the likes of Chuck Berry and many leading soul music artists. In 1969 Alomar formed a group called Listen My Brother with vocalists Luther Vandross, Fonzi Thornton (later to work with Chic and Roxy Music), and Robin Clark (Clark and Alomar later wed and had a daughter).

Alomar subsequently played as a session musician for RCA Recording Studios and other artists, before meeting David Bowie in early 1974, during sessions for Lulu’s recording of the Bowie-penned song "Can You Hear Me?". In 1974, Bowie recorded a series of songs with Alomar, which became part of the Young Americans album, and Alomar joined Bowie for the second leg of the Diamond Dogs tour. In January 1975, Bowie and John Lennon recorded "Across the Universe" and from this session resulted the impromptu song "Fame" – which evolved from the guitar riff Alomar had originated for the song "Footstompin’" during the Diamond Dogs shows. With writing credit divided between Bowie, Alomar and Lennon, "Fame" gave Bowie his first US #1 single. This began a long period of collaboration in which Alomar led the rhythm section that would underpin Bowie’s recordings for the next half-decade. He played on Station To Station (1976), the "Berlin Trilogy" of albums (Low, "Heroes", and Lodger), and Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) (1980).

Alomar played guitar on Iggy Pop’s two Bowie-produced albums of 1977, The Idiot and Lust For Life (which included the song "Success").

He did not play on Bowie’s album Let's Dance (1983) – the role of rhythm guitarist was undertaken by that album’s co-producer, Nile Rodgers – but he re-joined Bowie as rhythm guitarist and musical director for the mammoth Serious Moonlight world tour in 1983, and on the albums Tonight and Never Let Me Down, and was the musical director/rhythm guitarist for Bowie’s infamous and highly theatrical Glass Spider Tour in 1987; Duran Duran shared the bill with Bowie at several of these shows in August 1987. Bowie ended his long-running creative association with Alomar after the critical panning of Never Let Me Down and the Glass Spider tour. The two men would not record together again until January-February 1995, during sessions in New York for Bowie’s album Outside (1995). In the meantime, Alomar recorded and released his first solo album, Dream Generator, in 1988.

In 1985 Alomar contributed to Arcadia's So Red the Rose album with Sting, David Gilmour and Herbie Hancock. He also co-wrote David Bowie's "Fame", and played guitar on Iggy Pop's "Success", both songs Duran Duran would later cover.

After Bowie[edit | edit source]

Alomar has performed with a number of other famous musicians including Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Iggy Pop, and Argentine pop legends Soda Stereo. In all, Alomar has played on a total of 32 gold and platinum albums. He is currently the director of Boombacker Records and president of the New York chapter of The Recording Academy, the organization responsible for the Grammy Awards.

Alomar collaborated with Scissor Sisters for their second album Ta-Dah.

Durham native seeks to bring empowerment and confidence to Durham dance community

Anthony Nelson, who often goes by Ay-Jaye, is a Durham native who went from dancing for the first time at Hillside High School to achieving a successful career as a dancer, dance teacher and choreographer (Staff photo by Keeley Gay).

As a child, Anthony Nelson, 25, from Durham, originally wanted to be an organic chemist. Those dreams quickly changed when as a freshman he was randomly placed in a dance class at Hillside High School.

“I remember not signing up for dance at all. It was just on my schedule as an extracurricular,” Nelson said. “But it took no time for me to fall in love with it.”

Nelson, who often goes by Ay-Jaye, spent most of his childhood and young adulthood in Eastside Durham. He attended New Tech High School but was able to participate in extracurriculars, such as dance, at neighboring Hillside High School.

“[Dancing] swept me up,” Nelson said. “In high school, I took AP chemistry and all of these classes like AP biology, but then I started dancing and I was like, ‘Wait a minute, this is really fun and I love this.’”

Nicole Oxendine, co-director at Empower Dance Studio, was Nelson’s first dance instructor at Hillside. She said that she knew the moment she saw Nelson dance that he had something special.

“He was just a natural mover,” Oxendine said.

Nelson has come a long way since taking his first dance class at Hillside High School. He contributes a lot of his success as a dancer to the way he is committed to practicing.

“During the summers when I wasn’t training at school, I would babysit my cousins and use that money to take ballet classes,” Nelson said.

Nelson said he always found a way to practice dancing so that he could improve his skills. He said that he would not be where he is today without that dedication.

Nelson has been able to perform in New York City multiple times and was even selected by Beyoncé in 2013 during Pepsi’s “Dance for a Chance” contest. Although Nelson’s dancing career has taken him many places, Nelson said that Durham is still his favorite place to dance.

“I’ve always danced with a bunch of different organizations,” Nelson said. “Durham has a lot – Triangle Dance Project, Durham Independent Dance Artists, Tobacco Road Dance Theater –  there are a lot of different dance platforms, so I’m always dabbling in a little bit of everything, the list goes on and on.”

Oxendine reached out to Nelson in 2015 when first opening Empower Dance Studio, located at 109 W. Parrish St., and asked him to be an instructor there. Oxendine said it has been really cool to watch Nelson grow as a man and a dancer.

Nelson has been working alongside Oxendine and teaching at Empower since the studio opened. He also dances for ShaLeigh Dance Works. Nelson said he never expected that his career would take off like it has.

“Young me, when I was like 16 or 17 years old, would have never imagined that I would have been able to do those things, or even been given the opportunity,” Nelson said.

Nelson said that when he was younger, he was always the only boy or only African-American in his dance classes.

“I would have ever imagined that dance would be a sustainable thing or an extensive thing,” Nelson said.

In addition to dancing, Nelson works as a bartender at Unscripted, a hotel located at 202 N. Corcoran St. in Durham. Nelson also recently started a bartending business called Dynamic Duo Bartending with his best friend.

“It’s really interesting,” Nelson said. “I’ve been trying to become this entrepreneur self-manager. It’s just really hard, because you always have to be on top of every single thing.”

In all that he does, Nelson seems to make a lasting impact on the people he comes in contact with.

Jordan Flagg, one of Nelson’s co-workers at Unscripted, said that Nelson is one of the most humble and open-minded people he knows. Flagg also got to see Nelson perform in person recently.

“I got to understand a little bit more why his craft is his craft and why he’s so devoted to it, because he is just amazing at it,” Flagg said. “But aside from that, on like a personal level, he’s just all around an amazing guy.”

Oxendine agrees that Nelson’s personality is one that lights up an entire room.

“He is an open spirit and an open person and invites other people just to be in their own space and to be comfortable in who they are,” Oxendine said. “It’s just this whole comprehensive, amazing person that we have here, adding to the fabric of what makes Durham special.”

Nelson said that one of his favorite things about teaching dance classes is empowering all people, especially women, to be the best version of themselves.

Nelson grew up with five sisters and a single mom for most of his childhood.

“I feel like women aren’t empowered enough,” Nelson said. “And growing up I saw that too, in dynamics with the way women were being treated.”

Nelson wants to use the platform he has as a dancer and dance instructor to make a difference.

“If I have a platform to give that power back to women, I want to use that,” Nelson said. “Even with young girls, I want to empower them so that when they get older they know their worth and their value.”

Nelson said that certain audiences and populations aren’t represented well in the dance population.

“We want to create representation and create a platform to showcase that as well,” Nelson said.

Oxendine said that Nelson does a good job of empowering people through his dance classes. She said that when teaching both children and adults, Nelson has a unique way of making people feel accepted and confident.

“It’s like, come into this space and be who you are,” Oxendine said. “And whoever you are and however you present yourself, it’s beautiful and let’s just be more beautiful and more fabulous and just grow.”

Nelson said he hopes that his story can help others pursue their dreams, whatever they may be.

“For those who are afraid to try something new because someone told them that it wasn’t ok for them to do it, I would recommend that they try to go and push for it more,” he said.

Saini, Jasdeep and Faroni, Alessandro and Reid, Adam J and Mamchaoui, Kamel and Mouly, Vincent and Butler-Browne, Gillian and Lightfoot, Adam P and McPhee, Jamie S and Degens, Hans and Al-Shanti, Nasser (2020) A Novel Bioengineered Functional Motor Unit Platform to Study Neuromuscular Interaction.

BACKGROUND:In many neurodegenerative and muscular disorders, and loss of innervation in sarcopenia, improper reinnervation of muscle and dysfunction of the motor unit (MU) are key pathogenic features. In vivo studies of MUs are constrained due to difficulties isolating and extracting functional MUs, so there is a need for a simplified and reproducible system of engineered in vitro MUs. OBJECTIVE:to develop and characterise a functional MU model in vitro, permitting the analysis of MU development and function. METHODS:an immortalised human myoblast cell line was co-cultured with rat embryo spinal cord explants in a serum-free/growth fact media. MUs developed and the morphology of their components (neuromuscular junction (NMJ), myotubes and motor neurons) were characterised using immunocytochemistry, phase contrast and confocal microscopy. The function of the MU was evaluated through live observations and videography of spontaneous myotube contractions after challenge with cholinergic antagonists and glutamatergic agonists. RESULTS:blocking acetylcholine receptors with α-bungarotoxin resulted in complete, cessation of myotube contractions, which was reversible with tubocurarine. Furthermore, myotube activity was significantly higher with the application of L-glutamic acid. All these observations indicate the formed MU are functional. CONCLUSION:a functional nerve-muscle co-culture model was established that has potential for drug screening and pathophysiological studies of neuromuscular interactions.

Reasons to Buy Personal Accident Insurance

Buy Personal Accident Insurance

The word ‘accident’ brings along so many negative thoughts with it. Whenever an accident takes place, the family of the victim gets into a lot of trouble. Road accidents in India have become quite common these days. Such accidents result in minor to severe kinds of injuries; not just to one but more persons. In some cases, accidents also cause a lot of damage to the surrounding properties too.

No doubt, such things lead to huge expenses in the form of hospitalization and medical bills. So, if you are totally dependent on your lifelong savings to deal with such unseen circumstances of life, you might end up in big trouble. This is the foremost reason to buy personal accident insurance.

When we talk about accidents, it does not mean we are pointing only towards road accidents. Accidents can happen even in the workplace. For example, the construction sector is more vulnerable to bodily injuries. Even though such jobs come equipped with employer protection coverage, but it is still wise to have an extra backup. The points mentioned below explained why one should purchase personal accident insurance.

5 reasons you cannot ignore

  1. Like we know, accidents may happen anywhere and anytime. You never know what life might take a sudden turn. It is needless to mention that an accident might result in lifelong disability, if not death. In such a situation, it can be very difficult for the family of the victim to keep going. If the breadwinner of the family loses his/her job or ability to work, even for a temporary period, it will be a major issue for his/her family. Fortunately, a personal accidental insurance policy can provide a lot of respites. The coverage can be used in a number of ways.
  2. Peace of mind is another major reason that makes personal accidental insurance policies so important these days. Professionals and businessmen have to travel a lot these days; sometimes even to another country. Usually, in such situations, they have to leave their family behind. Now, if anything bad happens during such a situation, the family of the victim might go through a lot of mental stress. But, if the family members know there is a policy action to take care of the expenses, it will surely provide them a lot of relief.
  3. People sacrifice a lot to save their hard-earned money. They save money for different reasons, such as marriage, new home, education, etc. So, in case you meet an accident and it leads to temporary disability, or you are unable to work for a few weeks/months, it will not affect your savings. Your savings will remain intact, and your personal accidental insurance policy will take care of the expenses.
  4. When people retire from their job, they get a good chunk of money in the form of retirement savings. Until then, they rely on their monthly income for the regular kind of expenses. A major accident during that phase can force you to access your retirement savings before their maturity period. As a result, your entire financial calculations and planning are shattered. So, if you want to avoid such scenarios in your life, you must go for a personal accidental insurance policy.
  5. Last but definitely not the least reason is related to the low-cost aspect of this kind of insurance policy. The premiums of personal accidental insurance policies can totally amaze you. For sum assured of 2 lakh INR, the premium can be as low as just 100 INR! Even if you opt for a policy with sum assured as 20 lakhs INR, the premium will be around just 1,000 INR. So, compared to the huge benefit you get in the form of personal accidental coverage, the premium figures are quite nominal.

Hence, those were the top five reasons that make personal accidental insurance policies so important in the present time. As more vehicles are being added to the road, safety is becoming a major issue for the commuters. Likewise, there are many more aspects of life that can be counted among the high-risk zones. As a wise person, it is crucial that we must safeguard ourselves and our family members by choosing a personal accidental insurance policy that provides comprehensive protection.

Before you choose a policy, you must compare the premiums and the inclusions in the package. There are many insurance companies in the Indian market at present, and you must not take a hurried decision. Proper comparison will help you end up choosing the most suitable policy for your family. Online comparison tools can make this task a lot easier for you. So, spend a little time on the internet and get your loved ones the best protection from the unforeseen situations.
