Notations From the Grid (Week-End Edition): #RandomThoughts For the Week-End

It has been quite a week where we were witness to a concerted campaign to stop execution in Iran--Over 6 Million Tweets were sent and members of our team joined this effort.  We have also been on prowl as the Pandemic continues to wreck havoc as our team works away on on-going projects. 

We wanted to begin the weekend on a positive note.  We hereby present this for our community--A beautiful rendition of an ancient Iranian Classic by Shajarian as we remind all of our Esparanza Virtual Town Hall and remind all to #WearAMaskSaveALife:

We have also been assessing the situation in Iran as the controversy over the 25 year proposed agreement with China, the raging COVID-19 pandemic that has led to a shutdown in the Capital along with the economic collapse.  We have also been assessing the on-going US Election Scene for which Notations will be released.   This Thought Resonated with us:
