The San Diego World Affairs Council and Royal India Delmar present the Lunch & Learn Series featuring Dr. Chayanika Deka WHAT | Presenting: "The Rise of Terrorism in Africa" WHEN | Wednesday, September 20, 2023 - 12 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. WHERE | Royal India Restaurant In an increasingly multi-polar world, the continent of Africa has assumed a greater significance by becoming home to the world’s 25 fastest-growing economies and the largest reservoir of crude natural resources such as oil, gas, cobalt, diamond, uranium, and plutonium. Africa matters in a global platform not just because of its untapped economic resources, but also politically, as the continent finally spread its wings and presented itself as the biggest and consolidated voting bloc at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) with fifty-four member countries. As a result, it is not surprising that all of the world's major powers including the US, UK, China, Russia, India, and even emerging Middle Eastern nations like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates are engaging in every opportunity to invest in Africa. However, this pleasant picture of such a strategic portfolio of Africa came into question recently as much of the continent became the harbor of ferocious global jihadi activities. Jihadi violence has increased extraordinarily in North Africa, the Horn of Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, and Central African regions. Terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb(AQIM), Boko Haram, Al-Shabaab, and Islamic State consisting mainly of jihadist or ethnic or religious militias, operating across Africa and creating havoc in the continent. Africa's everlasting security and prosperity rely on its ability to deal with challenges of terrorism. Stay Connected with Royal India Restaurant on Social Media! Facebook & Instagram

World leaders, powerful CEOs, and other fat cats could learn a lesson or two from electrofunk duo Chromeo, namely: know thyself, know thy vibe, and stay thy course. The rest of the population will catch up. Indeed, Chromeo is really good at being, well, Chromeo. The mission, the package, the vision — it’s been a straight shot of pure intentionality from the jump. Funk a game plan, Montreal natives Dave 1 and P-Thugg had a ten-year battle strategy: from cult 80s fetishists on 2004’s She’s In Control to indie blog darlings on 2007’s Fancy Footwork, to international touring sensations on 2010’s Business Casual, to bona fide pop stars on 2014’s White Women. And guess what? Pee (still looking a smooth criminal in a Coogi) and Dave (ever the Semitic/Gallic heartthrob in tight pants) are back. 2018 marked the release of the Funklordz’ fifth studio LP: Head Over Heels.

Dreams and Contemplations II: Exploring the Enchanted Realm of Ceramic Tile Paintings where imagination meets clay, uniting Dreams, Emotions and Eternal Wisdom. Bypassing the conventional academic route, Karen Bouse’s journey began in the vibrant realm of the Motion Picture Industry, where she thrived as a Sign Writer/Graphic Artist. Within a decade in this field, she progressed from Journeyman to Supervisor, where the opportunity to work with diverse global artists provided an unconventional education. In spite of achieving cultural success, the inner question, “Who Am I?”, prompted her to forsake status and comfort for self-discovery, transitioning a move from Los Angeles to rural San Diego County. Armed with a foundation in graphic arts and an extended period of ceramic study, fate interceded when the destructive wildfires of 2003 consumed the artist’s home and studio. From the ashes emerged a new chapter: the establishment of Indigo Design Studios, dedicated to crafting tailor-made tiles for individuals and businesses in the San Diego area. Through these projects, the untapped potential of tiles as conduits for storytelling was unearthed, evolving organically into the captivating medium of Tile Paintings. Over a span of more than fifteen years, in the seclusion of creative solitude, the focal point of her artistic endeavors has been to encapsulate the lessons and insights that arose from taking that leap beyond the safety of the known and trusting in the process of living. This exhibition, hosted by Encinitas Arts Partnership at Encinitas City Hall, marks the inaugural presentation of twenty-two out of a total of thirty-seven pieces produced during this period. The essence of this collection aims to rouse the imagination and ignite conversation, while also demonstrating the boundless frontiers of ceramic tile as an artistic medium. Above all, the core intention behind the sharing of these personal revelations is to illuminate the interconnected thread that binds all of humanity— transcending temporal, spatial, and individual boundaries. To explore these works firsthand is to grasp their dimension, texture, and energy, which photography inevitably fails to capture fully. The artist extends an invitation to experience this transformative exhibition and welcomes the opportunity to engage in discussions about the work. The exhibit offers an experience distinct from mere imagery, as it unveils the tactile and energetic qualities that thrive within each piece. Should you wish to further explore these narratives in person, Karen is available to meet at your convenience within the exhibit’s setting. The full collection can be viewed at this blurb book link!
