Notations From the Grid (Week-End Edition): On the Week That Was

It has been quite a week.   Protests continued in Iraq, Lebanon and Chile.   Elections began in the UK that would as consequential as ever with the future of the unity of the United Kingdom at Stake.   Iran continued its' withdrawal process from the 2015 Nuclear Agreement as a pivotal International Institute for Strategic Studies found its' position to be strengthened through the proxy wars it has waged.     Turkey, in the meantime, continues its' onslaught in Syria and the Turkish President noted yesterday that Turkey will not leave until others leave.  There was also the latest in a series of reports noting how our Mother Earth is facing a climate calamity like never before.   This is as the Impeachment Inquiry in the US House of Representatives continued with the release of transcripts and the on-going defense by the US House GOP--with the speculation over Michael Bloomberg and his impending Entry into the US Democratic Primary--earning an nickname from President Trump :  "Little Michael".      This is also as the historic decision is coming down in India by the Supreme Court of India in the Ayodhya Case.   The Entire Political and Faith Leadership in India has been in unison in calling for calm no matter what the decision is--and Security for Supreme Court Justices has been increased in anticipation of the Verdict.

Notations From the Grid (Mid-Week Edition): Out & About in Our World

Our team has been on the prowl assessing the fire in our home State of California over the past number of days as we captured these scenes from Grid.  

As we went to press, we were on the prowl as reports came down that the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley was threatened and staff was evacuated.      The Getty Museum in West Los Angeles was also on the fire Path as well.   We could not agree more with Lakers Star LeBron James when he noted how "crazy" he was--his family had to evacuate and he sponsored a Taco Truck for First Respondents.

Beyond the challenging scenes here in California, there is the on-going calamity in Syria as Syrian State Media is reporting clashes with Turkish Forces.    A Russian-Backed meeting  has been going on in Geneva to come up with a new post-war Constitution for Syria.    This is as Iraq Protests are continuing and the Shitte Bloc has withdrawn its backing from the Iraqi Prime Minister after he refused to call for elections.

Challenging Times....
