Lost Techniques, Highest Realm

Millennia-old dance methods revived and put to the test at the 10th NTD International Classical Chinese Dance Competition

NEW YORK, NY, USA, August 24, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — In recent years, the ancient art form of classical Chinese dance has won the world over and shot to new levels of popularity and interest. A key reason for this has been the revival mission of New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts, whose artists have pioneered the use of lost skills in dance.

Now, aspiring classical Chinese dancers from around the globe will put their skills to the test at the 10th NTD International Classical Chinese Dance Competition. Over 100 top dancers will join this event at the Performing Arts Center of Purchase College in New York, with the chance to demonstrate their understanding of this classical Chinese dance, one of the most comprehensive dance systems in the world, to a panel of judges that includes Shen Yun artists and alumni.

The semi-finals, finals, and awards ceremony of the competition are open to the public. In addition, the events will live broadcast on NTD’s TV network, and live stream online. Details could be found on the competition website.

The Performing Arts Center at Purchase College
735 Anderson Hill Rd, Purchase, NY 10577

LOST TECHNIQUES, HIGHEST REALM
Throughout history, dancers of every kind have been seeking the techniques to create the longest body lines for grand movements. To achieve this goal, the ultimate techniques are summarized as “shen-dai-shou, kua-dai-tui” (translated as “body leads hands and hip leads legs”), which were passed down for thousands of years in classical Chinese dance but become entirely lost at present time.

This is why dancers today don’t know about it except those fortunate few who have the privileges to study under Mr. D.F, the distinguished professor of classical Chinese dance at the Fei Tian College (www.FeiTian.edu). Mr. D.F. is well known as the world-renowned Artistic Director of SHEN YUN Performing Arts. The NTD International Classical Chinese Dance Competition is the only dance competition in the world where one can find this lost ancient technique.  

CLASSICAL CHINESE DANCE
Passed down and refined over thousands of years, classical Chinese dance is one of the most comprehensive dance systems in the world. It is also one of the most expressive and dynamic forms of art.

There are four essential components of classical Chinese dance: form, bearing, dance technique, and tumbling technique. Over the years, these techniques have been borrowed by other art forms, and are, surprisingly, more widely recognized by names given from gymnastics or martial arts. But in actuality, these movements all originate from classical Chinese dance. 

Classical Chinese dance is distinct from ballet or modern dance. It is also different from the techniques and movements in Chinese opera, or set movements in martial arts, and judges will be looking for understanding and mastery of authentic classical Chinese dance.

AWARDS
The competition will award dancers in four divisions: adult male, adult female, junior male, and junior female. Each division will include awards of Gold Award, Silver Award, Bronze Awards, and Honorable Mentions.

THE COMPETITION
The 10th NTD International Classical Chinese Dance Competition is one in a series of international cultural and arts events hosted by New Tang Dynasty (NTD) Television. It will launch a new era in classical Chinese dance by fostering cultural exchange, making this ancient Chinese culture renowned throughout the world and promoting purely authentic traditional dance that is pure goodness, and pure beauty.

Lawsuit Served by Founders Legal on Behalf of Jenka Lab against One-Stop Game Solution for Alleged Counterfeiting

DULUTH, GEORGIA, USA, August 25, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Attorneys Kennington Groff, Zachary Eyster, and Melanie Lane of Founders Legal (Bekiares Eliezer LLP) filed a legal action on behalf of Jenka Lab, LLC against One-Stop Game Solution, LLC dba GGC Industries. The lawsuit was served on Tuesday, August 22, 2023, at the Southern Amusement & Entertainment Expo.

The complaint centers on alleged anti-counterfeiting actions related to Jenka Lab’s popular amusement machines, including gaming systems such as Aurora, Northern Light, Favorite Skill, and others. One-Stop Game Solution is accused of selling unauthorized, poor-quality counterfeit versions of these games, leading to significant financial and reputational damage to Jenka Lab.

Jenka Lab is fighting to hold One-Stop Game Solution accountable for their actions, demanding the cessation of the illicit games’ distribution and sale, and compensation for damages. Based on the information available and the belief in its accuracy, One-Stop Game Solution is operating under the name GGC Industries to gain access to the Southern Amusement & Entertainment Expo. However, the expo organizers shut down the booth before the event started, preventing GGC Industries from exhibiting at all.

“Our client’s intellectual property, encompassing everything from trademarks to copyrights and trade secrets, is the lifeblood of their innovation. We’re committed to ensuring that these vital assets are protected and that those who infringe upon them are held accountable,” stated attorney Melanie Lane.

Jenka Lab, the owner of exclusive rights to the software and multiple federal copyright registrations for the gaming codes and graphics used in these games, has registered its word and design marks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The lawsuit alleges trademark infringement, false designation of origin, unfair competition, trademark counterfeiting, copyright infringement, and misappropriation of trade secrets.

This lawsuit follows a previous legal action earlier this year against Crazy Software for similar allegations of intellectual property infringement. The current lawsuit against One-Stop Game Solution continues this vital work, reflecting Jenka Lab’s ongoing efforts to protect its innovative gaming products from unauthorized imitation and counterfeiting showing relentless commitment to defending its intellectual property rights.

“Protecting intellectual property is not just about defending a brand or a product; it’s about preserving the integrity of creativity and innovation,” declared Intellectual Property Attorney, Kennington Groff. “Enforcing these rights might seem like an unending challenge, but with a thoughtful litigation strategy, we can fortify Jenka Lab’s rights and suppress ongoing infringement.”

The lawsuit emphasizes the critical importance of protecting intellectual property rights in today’s competitive global market, highlighting the negative impact of the Defendant’s actions on Jenka Lab’s profits and the broader gaming industry.

“The importance of enforcing intellectual property rights cannot be overstated; it’s what fuels innovation and progress,” explained Yuri Eliezer, Managing Partner and Intellectual Property Attorney. “Without these safeguards, the creative spirit could be stifled. We are fully prepared to tackle any obstacles to protect our clients’ rights and support their continued growth.”

Case No. 2:23-cv-00159-RWS – Filed in the Northern District of Georgia Gainesville Division.

Jenka Lab specializes in providing cost-effective coin-operated amusement machines to the Georgia Lottery Coin Operated Amusement Machine market.

GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA, USA, August 24, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a complex condition that affects millions of individuals globally. Oceanic Counseling Group aims to provide a deeper understanding of the diagnostic criteria for AUD and the diverse treatment options available to support individuals on their journey towards recovery.

Diagnostic Criteria for Alcohol Use Disorder:
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) outlines specific criteria that clinicians use to diagnose AUD. These criteria include:

1. Impaired Control: Difficulty in limiting alcohol consumption or unsuccessful attempts to cut down. Individuals with AUD may find themselves drinking more or for a longer period than intended.
2. Social Impairment: Alcohol use leading to social problems, strained relationships, or failure to fulfill work, school, or home responsibilities due to drinking.
3. Risky Use: Continued alcohol consumption in physically hazardous situations, such as while operating machinery or driving under the influence.
4. Tolerance: Needing increased amounts of alcohol to achieve the desired effects. Tolerance may lead individuals to consume larger quantities to experience the same level of intoxication.
5. Withdrawal: Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when alcohol use is reduced or stopped. Withdrawal symptoms can include tremors, nausea, sweating, and anxiety.

To be diagnosed with AUD, an individual must meet a certain number of criteria within a specific timeframe. The severity of AUD is categorized as mild, moderate, or severe based on the number of criteria met.

Available Treatment Options:
1. Detoxification: For individuals with severe AUD, medically supervised detoxification may be necessary to manage withdrawal symptoms safely.
2. Behavioral Therapies: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational enhancement therapy, and contingency management are effective approaches that help individuals change their behaviors and thought patterns related to alcohol use.
3. Medications: FDA-approved medications can help reduce cravings and manage withdrawal symptoms.
4. Support Groups: Participating in support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) can provide individuals with a sense of community and ongoing encouragement.
5. Holistic Approaches: Incorporating mindfulness techniques, stress management strategies, and exercise into treatment plans can contribute to overall well-being and aid in recovery.

Oceanic Counseling Group offers a compassionate and tailored approach to treating AUD, addressing the unique needs of each individual and supporting them in their journey to overcome alcohol use disorder. Take the Alcohol Use Disorder Quiz Now!
