🎶 Moscow Nights.
World-class opera singers singing a Russian folk song "Moscow Nights" - by Anna Netrebko and Dmitri Hvorostovsky.
Dmitri died of brain cancer, while Anna (working in Germany at the time) is cancelled out of existence for being Russian.

Когда говоришь о «возвращении исторических границ» России, главное — не промахнуться с историческим периодом

BYU students have collected 5,000 stories from survivors of the Khmer Rouge regime (where nearly 2 million Cambodians were killed).
BUT translating & transcribing those interviews by hand takes A LOT of time.
Enter BYU alum (and lead designer of Amazon's Alexa) Jeff Adams....

I hated school because no one in school ever asked me what I was interested in. They only told me what I must read and study. #richwoman

FamilySearch prioritizes digitization of records in danger from physical deterioration, political unrest, and scheduled (gasp!) destruction. Keep up the good work! @GregDNelson #FGS2018 #genealogy

Each morning a man awakes, he dawns a costume
And begins to play make-believe
He pretends to be someone he is not
He feigns outrage for things that matter not
He hankers for things that provide him nothing
At night, he removes his costume
And enters a world of dreams.

As mentioned on my recent interview with @JordanHarbinger These inverse curves describe the experience of getting good at any new skill set through the lens of pain experienced and progress achieved. Core question: How much pain are you willing to eat to master something?

We're taking the progressive stance that all #ancestry matters. #Lineage is something we have no control over, and the view that some are superior to others is outdated and, quite frankly, laughable. We all matter, no matter where or who we come from.
