V(D)J is the basis of the vertebrate immune system.
It makes antibodies.
All vertebrates have an adaptive immune system.
This protects them against many infections and diseases caused by viruses and bacteria.
V(D)J is the basic mechanism.
The work is done by developing lymphocytes (B cells and T cells).
They make the immune system adaptive.
What this means is that the body is able to defend against many infections it has never met before, and the defence gets better against repeat attacks from the same agent.
The details are very complex.
The system makes sequences of amino acids which bind on to the corresponding sequences of infective agents.
The system also recognises  "altered self cells" as seen in cancer.
Of course all systems have limits, so when the system fails to recognise a pathogen or cancer, we suffer the consequences.
In 1987 Susumu Tonegawa was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for his discovery of the genetic principle for generation of antibody diversity".
The V(D)J refers to the way variable, joining and sometimes diversity regions are produced in the white blood cells.
The cells are made in the bone marrow and thymus of vertebrates.

The movement was founded by Kenyette Barnes and Oronike Odeleye in 2017.
The latter said: "#MuteRKelly continues until the Black community has fully financially divested from the man and his music and we tackle the overwhelming issue of sexual abuse".
Odeleye was an African American Arts Administrator from Atlanta, Georgia.
Barnes is a lobbyist and activist.
She also sought to lobby elected officials.
She wanted to mobilize activists around the world to encourage users of music streaming platforms to #ThumbItDown, when R. Kelly's music plays.
This was in order to change the algorithm of his songs until they are no longer playing.
During a period of two to three decades, Kelly was accused of sexual abuse of children and adolescents.
One example was getting married to then fifteen-year-old R&B and pop singer Aaliyah on August 31, 1994 in Cook County, Illinois.
The marriage was dissolved just over five months later at orders from from Aaliyah's family.
Aaliyah later admitted she had lied to people about her age.

Magan (also Makkan) was an ancient nation.
It is mentioned in Sumerian cuneiform texts of around 2300 BC.
It lasted to 550 BC as a source of copper and diorite for Mesopotamia.
Historians were not always sure where Magan was.
Some historians thought Magan could be in part of Yemen called Ma'in in the south of Upper Egypt, in Nubia or the Sudan, and others as part of today's Iran or Pakistan.
The earliest Sumerian text that talks about Magan (Sumerian 𒈣𒃶 Magan, Akkadian Makkan) was written during the Umm al-Nar period (2600–2000 BCE).
It also says "the Lords of Magan."
Sumerian texts also talk about "Tilmun," which historians think was in what is Bahrain today, and about "Meluhha," which could be the Indus Valley.
The Akkadians fought the Magans in the twenty-third century BCE.
This could be why the people built forts.
For example, the writers Naram-Sin and Manishtusu, wrote of fighting wars against "32 lords of Magan."
Gudea talks about the devotions to his Temple: "Magan and Meluhha will come down from their mountains to attend."
The words Magan (𒈣𒃶) and Meluhha (𒈨𒈛𒄩) appear vertically in the first column on the right.
Naram-Sin gave the Akkadian title Malek to the defeated Ruler of Magan, a title which survives in the Arabic for king, malek.
The Magans built good ships and could sail well for the time.
King Sargon of Agade (2371–2316 BCE) wrote that ships Tilmun, Magan, and Meluhha came to his ports.
His successor, Naram-Sin, conquered Magan but he honored the Magan King Manium by naming the city of Manium-Ki in Mesopotamia after him.
Trade between the Indus Valley and Sumer went through Magan.
However, that trade might have stopped at one time.
Ur-Nammu (2113–2096 BCE) said he had "brought back the ships of Magan."
Archaeological finds from this time show trade not only with the Indus Valley and Sumer but also with Iran and Bactria.
They might also show the earliest case of the disease poliomyelitis in the skeleton of a woman from Tell Abraq.
The skeleton was found in modern Umm Al Quwain.
Trade was common between Magan and Ur before the reigns of the Gutian kings over Ur.
After they were deposed, Ur-Nammu of Ur restored the roads and trade resumed between the two nations (c. 2100 BC).
Phanek (Fanek) is a traditional Meitei Manipuri sarong, indigenously worn by womenfolk, predominantly in Manipur (Kangleipak).

It is worn when one goes to office works and in marriage ceremonies.
It is worn like a wraparound.
Its bottom is adorned with heavy embroidery in different designs.
According to Meitei culture, the phaneks are untouchable to the menfolk.

Legend says that it leads people to astray if it chases them.
It is sometimes regarded as parallel to the Will o' the wisp, Jack-o'-lantern and Ignis Fatuus of the European folklore.
In ancient times, people used to say:
"Lanmei Thanbi toi toi!
Hangen Poura kit!"
It is roughly translated as:
"Come Lanmei Thanbi, come, if you dare.
We will nab you with hangen (bamboo skeleton used for stretching fishing nets) and poura (bamboo pole on which hangen is attached or tied)."
Lanmei Thanbi (2008 film)

Medusa with the Head of Perseus is a sculpture.
Argentine artist Luciano Garbati made it in 2008.
It is famous because people in the Me Too movement talked about it.
The media called the statue an "icon of justice" for people who survived sexual assault.
That happened several years after the statue was made.
Medusa is a Greek myth.
In the story, Perseus kills Medusa, not the other way around: Medusa is a monster with a face so terrible that anyone who sees her turns to stone.
Medusa lives on an island.
The hero Perseus comes to the island to kill Medusa.
He cuts off her head and puts it in a bag.
He later uses the head to turn his enemies to stone.
Perseus then gives Medusa's dead head to the gods.
Zeus puts Medusa's head on his shield so it will frighten his enemies.
At some point in history, no later than the Roman poet Ovid, another part was added to the myth: Medusa starts as a human priestess and not a monster.
She works for the goddess Athena in her temple.
She is raped by the god Poseidon in Athena's temple.
To the people telling the myth, Medusa, not Poseidon, was the one who had done something bad.
Athena punishes Medusa by turning her into an ugly monster: Her hair turns into snakes.
Her face becomes terrifying.
Only then does Medusa go to the island where Perseus will later kill her.
In the 1500s, Benvenuto Cellini made a sculpture called Perseus with the Head of Medusa.
In that sculpture, a nearly naked Perseus holds up Medusa's head.
Garbati wanted to make that statue in reverse.
Garbati did not think he was making feminist art.
He only want to "flip the script" of the story of Perseus and Medusa.
He only wanted to show the sculpture the opposite way.
Garbati started with clay.
He used the clay model to make another sculpture out of resin and fiberglass.
Then, he could use the resin sculpture to make copies out of bronze.
The sculpture is almost 7 feet tall (about 2 meters).
It shows a naked Medusa with a sword in her left hand.
She holds a man's head by the hair in her right hand.
She stares down and ahead.
She looks like a woman and not a monster.
Garbati used his own face for Perseus.
Garbati offered to sell the original resin sculpture for US$35,000 and bronze copies for US$60,000, depending on who made the bronze copy.
Garbati decided not to copy Cellini's statue exactly.
Cellini shows Perseus holding Medusa's head high and smiling.
He stands lightly on one foot.
Garbati shows Medusa holding Perseus' head low and staring straight ahead.
She stands heavily on both feet.
Garbati said this was because Perseus coming to attack Medusa meant different things to Perseus and Medusa:
"I was thinking of Perseus, this man with all his gadgets, going there and having this victory.
This difference between a masculine victory and a feminine one, that was central to my work.
The representations of Perseus, he's always showing the fact that he won, showing the head…if you look at my Medusas…she is determined, she had to do what she did because she was defending herself.
It’s quite a tragic moment."
As survivor icon
During the #MeToo Movement, thousands of women wrote to Garbati saying what the statue meant to them.
They said Medusa was a woman who had been raped who fought back.
Some people said that black women started the #MeToo Movement, so it was not good to have a statue made by a male artist as its symbol.
Garbati answered that he liked that people liked his statue.
He also said he'd learned more about patriarchy.
Other people asked Garbati why he made Medusa naked and beautiful when she is ugly in the myth.
He answered that artists have been showing Medusa as beautiful since the 400s b.c.e.
Other people asked why Medusa was holding the head of Perseus and not of the god who raped her, Poseidon.
This was because Garbati had not meant to make the statue about rape survivors.
He had only meant to do Cellini's statue backwards.
For a long time, the statue stayed in Garbati's own art studio in Buenos Aires.
In 2020, the statue was shown in New York's Collect Pond Park near the court of criminal justice.
This was where Harvey Weinstein stood trial for his crimes.
Garbati and helpers started selling small copies of the statue.
They gave 10% of the money to the National Women's Law Center.

Zhiar Ali is a Kurdish person from Iraq who is a human rights activist, animal rights activist and journalist based in Sulaymaniyah.
He is known for his work for LGBT rights in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
Ali was the former media and communications officer at Rasan, he later founded Yeksani, a movement advocating for LGBT rights in the Iraqi Kurdistan.
He had also co-founded the first pro-vegan animal rights organization Kurdistan Vegans.
He has freelanced for news organizations, focusing on music journalism and political and social issues.
Ali was attacked by the media in a campaign, the campaign was bigger and was against the LGBT community in 2020.
After these attacks, he was threatened with murder and assault.
The attacks started happening more after Ali did a Global Pride speech on June 27, 2020, organized by InterPride.
He criticized Asayish and the Kurdistan Regional Government for an operation which detained LGBT people in Sulaymaniyah.
The campaign took place after Asaiysh (local security forces) thought all gay people are sex workers, Ali tried talk about this mistake in a Middle East Eye interview.
Denying that all members of the LGBT community in the Kurdistan region were sex workers, he blamed the government for forcing some into sex work and said that "prostitution is the last choice to earn a living".
Ali is the youngest of five brothers and sisters.
He said in a makanati.net interview that he came out to his mother and older sister in 2017 when he founded Lava Foundation, an unregistered organization working on raising awareness of LGBT issues.
Like the vast majority of society, my family approached [sexuality] close-mindedly without having any information, they would insult [those who were gay].
When I would spend time with them, sometimes, they would engage in aggressive conversations and hurl insults towards LGBT people. [...]
I would leave the room silently because I felt like those insults were directed at me. [...]
I tried repeatedly to change and undergo a "curative treatment" to no avail.
I got to the conclusion that this is me, accepted myself, and moved on. –
Ali, on his experiences with his family and sexuality.
In an interview with Queer Film Festival Utrecht, Ali talked about his relationship with his family, reporting that he was disowned and kicked out of the family house when he came out publicly, and receieved death threats from his brother.
Ali has a plant-based lifestyle and co-founded Kurdistan Vegans in 2018, one of Iraq's first vegan organizations which focused on environmentalism as well as raising awareness about "a healthy lifestyle" at the same time as raising awareness about a vegan lifestyle.
A vegan for five years, he had discussed the difficulties of the lifestyle in Iraq; vegan products are scarce, difficult to find, and often overpriced.
During an interview, he claimed that before their work at Kurdistan Vegans, there were no dedicated vegan restaurants, but after their advocasy, one was announced in his region.
Ali began his activism in 2017 with Lava Foundation which did not last for a long time, and was hired by Rasan in late 2019; Lava Foundation activities were then carried out in Rasan.
After more than a year with Rasan, Ali left the organization and founded Yeksani.
Ali's activism focuses on raising awareness of regional LGBT community issues, letting the public know about the community's needs and wants and international actors to encourage action, and normalizing the community in Kurdish society.
He emphasizes that LGBT+ living conditions in Kurdistan are poor due to a lack of public awareness.
Gay people should be protected by law and not discriminated against, [homosexuality] is a natural human desire, not an illness.
Every workplace should be legally forced to be inclusive to LGBT people in job oppertunities, and even the local security forces need to treat them better. –
Ali to Kurdish news outlet Peregraf in an interview.
Ali mostly uses social media for his activism.
He regularly raises awareness about the legal laws used to put LGBT people in jail, and said in a BBC Persian interview that Articles 393, 394, 400, and 401 of Iraqi law are used to illegally detain LGBT people.
Ali was also an animal rights activist and a former project manager of Kurdistan Vegans, where he arranged and coordinated World Vegan Day events for two years in a row.
He was a journalist with Spee Media, a local independent news outlet.
He was focusing there on music journalism, and most of his work featured Wild Fire.
He also wrote about conflict in the Middle East, LGBT+ rights in Iraq, and social and civic issues.
On May 17, 2020, the European Union (EU), British, and Canadian embassies raised the pride flag in their Baghdad headquarters, which caused a massive backlash, forcing the EU embassy to take down the flag after a few hours.
This caused a hate campaign against the LGBT community of Iraq which was supported by visible Iraqi politicians.
Ali wrote an extensive report about the progression and worsening situation of LGBT people in Iraq which was hosted on Rasan's website, reporting murder of people precieved to be gay, as well as messages of hate broadcast on national TV.
The report was later used for assessments and further studies regarding LGBT rights in the region.
During an interview, Ali discussed the difficulties with being part of the LGBT+ community and finding housing, reporting that many LGBT youth are denied rent or properties are not sold to them, so they are forced to get married to the opposite gender only to have a place to live in.
He also talked about how the Directorate of Non-Governmental Organizations have made it impossible to register LGBT organizations in the region.
Asayish operation
On April 1, 2021, news said that Asayish set checkpoints around Sulaymaniyah and detained some people they thought were gay.
Although a lot of people expressed anger on social media at the operation, seventeen members of Sulaimaniyah's Provincial Council signed a petition supporting the arrests.
Ali led Take Action, an online campaign through Yeksani which received broad global support, and helped bring the issue to the attention of Amnesty International, the US Consulate in Erbil, Human Rights Watch, ILGA Asia, and other international, national, and local groups.
The decision to conduct the operation was influenced by conservative groups in the region, especially the Kurdistan Justice Group.
According to Ali, 15 individuals (some underage) were apprehended by the operation and security checkpoints were set up in places thought to be popular with LGBT people.
He said that Asaiysh did not differentiate between LGBT sex workers and other community members or later focused their operation on prostitution to avoid international backlash.
Ali highlighted security forces' "tests" on suspects to determine if they had sexual contact before their arrests, calling the tests criminal and humiliating.
He told Middle East Eye that "even if people resorted to sex working, it's the government's fault since it's their last choice of livelihood."
Ali repeatedly told the media that community lives were in danger, and he was afraid to be caught at one of the checkpoints since he is openly gay.
After local and international pressure from civil-rights organizations and activists, Asayish stopped the operation, released the detainees, and published a statement that they were investigating reports of prostitution in the region and did not "target any specific groups of society."
Due to discrimination, followed by the operation, Ali reported that many LGBT people (including himself) felt excluded from Kurdish society.
Ali critisized other NGOs that claim to work on LGBT rights, and said "while they are getting massive funds, they take no action in reality", and recognized them as symbolic entities.
Rasan lawsuit
On February 22, 2021, it was announced that a lawsuit had been filed against Rasan by an Islamist Kurdistan Justice Group MP because the organization advocated for local LGBT+ rights and this was "against the values of the Kurdish culture."
In response to the accusation, Rasan said they would defend themselves against the lawsuit in court and they work for everyone equally.
Ali spoke against the MP during a live Rudaw interview, defending the LGBT+ community and saying that the MP's comments were "baseless and not based on any scientific evidence."
