Blondell Cummings (1944-2015), an American modern dancer known for her experimental choreography, was a prominent figure in the New York and Harlem dance worlds for several decades. Born in South Carolina, where her parents picked cotton, she was raised in New York City. With a BA in dance and education from New York University and a master’s from Lehman College, she was an original member of the avant-garde dance company “The House,” founded in 1968 by Meredith Monk. She went on to teach at several prestigious NYC-area universities and establish her own ensemble. In 1978, she founded the Cycle Arts Foundation, a discussion/performance workshop. Her goal, she said, was to “create a new ritual of empowerment to uplift the family.” “Blondell Cummings: Dance as Moving Pictures,” a collaboration between Art + Practice and the Getty Research Institute’s African American Art History Initiative, opened September 18 at A + P’s exhibition space and runs through February 19, 2022.

WhatsApp is finally getting end-to-end encryption for chat backups on Google Drive and iCloud. Here's how to use the feature. WhatsApp has offered end-to-end encryption for messages for a few years now. This means that messages sent on the platform are entirely encrypted and cannot be read by anyone in transit. However, WhatsApp backups to iCloud and Google Drive are not encrypted, making them potentially unsafe and insecure. That is now changing as Facebook has announced that it is rolling out end-to-end encryption for WhatsApp backups stored on iCloud and Google Drive. Why Encrypted Backups Are Important This is an important move from a security viewpoint, especially since content stored on Google Drive and iCloud is not encrypted. End-to-end encryption for backups will be available for WhatsApp users on both iPhone and Android. You can either use a 64-bit encryption key or a password to encrypt the backups. The feature is not enabled by default, so you must manually enable end-to-end encryption for your WhatsApp cloud backups. Nonetheless, doing so will provide you with additional peace of mind since no one will be able to access your WhatsApp backups without the encryption key or password. Just be sure to remember…
