In 2013, Ashshahid found himself in Nashville, Tennessee, homeless and battling drug addiction. But through the support of organizations like Nashville Rescue Mission and Room in the Inn, as well as the guidance of individuals like Charles Strobel, he found a path to recovery and transformation.
After completing a drug program, Ashshahid secured housing, pursued education, and emerged as a positive force in society. His story even caught the attention of The Tennessean, shedding light on his inspiring journey.
Now based in Staten Island, Ashshahid is not only an accomplished artist but also a dedicated mentor to youth. Through his art, he tackles important issues such as drugs, gangs, guns, bullying, and incarceration, using his own experiences as a powerful narrative.

Studies
University of Virginia, Jim Tucker.
“Some young children, usually between the ages of 2 and 5, speak about memories of a previous life they claim to have lived. At the same time they often show behaviors, such as phobias or preferences, that are unusual within the context of their particular family and cannot be explained by any current life events. These memories appear to be concordant with the child’s statements about a previous life.”
In many cases of this type, the child’s statements have been shown to correspond accurately to facts in the life and death of a deceased person. Some of the children have birthmarks and birth defects that correspond to wounds or other marks on the deceased person whose life is being remembered by the child. In numerous cases, postmortem reports have confirmed these correspondences.
Older children may retain these apparent memories, but generally they seem to fade around the age of seven. The young subjects of these cases have been found all over the world including Europe and North America.
For the past 20 years, Dr. Jim Tucker, now the director of the Division of Perceptual Studies, has focused mainly on cases found in the United States. His book Return to Life offers accounts of very strong American cases of young children who remember previous lives. In this book, Dr. Tucker writes about the now well-known cases of James Leininger, a young boy who had verifiable past-life memories of being a WWII pilot, and Ryan Hammons, who had verifiable memories of being a Hollywood extra and talent agent.
Types of Statements a Child Might Make
“You’re not my mommy/daddy.” “I have another mommy/daddy.” “When I was big, I …(used to have blue eyes/had a car, etc.).” “That happened before I was in mommy’s tummy.” “I have a wife/husband/children.” “I used to…(drive a truck/live in another town, etc.)” “I died … (in a car accident/after I fell, etc.)” “Remember when I …(lived in that other house/was your daddy, etc.)Quick discussion : between Phil and Handi
Main topic
Topic :Reddit user u/TapiocaTuesday asked the AskReddit community: "Parents, what spooky 'past life' memory did your kid utter?"
eplies :
1. "Back pre-pandemic, I was watching my friend's then–3-year-old for her and he saw a big military ship and he got this kind of faraway look, and said, 'I remember when my boat sank. There were so many sharks.'"
"I said, 'What?' He blinked and, said, 'What?' and then started asking questions about the boat. I mentioned it to my friend and she said, 'Yeah, he does that sometimes.'"
—Planksgonemad
2. "When I was very young and still unable to string sentences together, my mom and I were sitting at the dining room table. She was crying and I comforted my mother by telling her without any babbling or hesitation: 'It’s okay, I used to be your great grandmother, I’ll take care of you.'"
"I have no memory of this and my mom said I went back to my baby-like talk immediately after. She stopped crying, probably because it scared the shit out of her."
—AceTrainerEmily
3. "I used to watch my nephew when he was about 3 or 4. One day, he was at my house and pointed to a magnet of Arizona — it had a picture of the desert with rock formations. Kid pointed at it and asked where it was. He said he used to live by 'red rocks like that' with his first family."
"(The first family) all had straight, dark hair (his is blond and curly) and that he had a mom, a dad, and a brother, that is until he went too far into the desert, too close to dark, and got eaten by 'not dogs, not wolves, but smaller.' I said, 'Coyotes?' And he kind of mouthed the word and said, 'Oh, that's what you call them.' Then he was sad and didn't want to talk about it anymore, so we had lunch and that was the first and last time he mentioned it."

Intro
During the conquest of Africa under European rule in the 1800s artifacts from non-western nations were under the wrongful control and ownership of their colonizers. Recently, there has been a demand for all artifacts housed in museums to return to their place of origin.
Many artifacts in Western museums and libraries are believed to have been seized over the ages by conquest and colonialism. Anthropologists, curators, and private collectors have looted African artifacts during both war and peace. The act was justified as an act of benevolence; as a way to save dying knowledge.
Museums have begun to acknowledge that some of their collections have uncomfortable histories linked to colonial violence. In spite of this, Britain does not give up its looted treasures. David Cameron, the then-Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, had said of Greece's Elgin Marbles and India's Koh-i-Noor diamond: "No, I certainly do not believe in returnism.". I don’t think that is sensible.”

The great replacement" is a conspiracy theory that states that nonwhite individuals are being brought into the United States and other Western countries to "replace" white voters to achieve a political agenda.
White supremacists argue that the influx of immigrants, people of color more specifically, will lead to the extinction of the white race.
The "great replacement" theory is sometimes seen in other ways such as claims of voter replacement and immigrants invading America, the National Immigration Forum said. The first claim assumes that immigrants and nonwhite people will vote a certain way, ultimately drowning out the votes of white Americans
The "great replacement" theory has roots in French nationalism books dating back to the early 1900s, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). However, the theory's more contemporary use is attributed to Renaud Camus, a French writer who wrote: "Le Grand Remplacement" (which translates to "The Great Replacement") in 2011.
The white supremacist conspiracy falsely asserts that white people are being replaced and losing their standing in society as a result of a plot to increase non-white immigration, as well as other factors, including birth rates among non-white people.

Elaisha Hilliard is a fine artist located in Detroit, Michigan. Her favorite medium is paint.
Paint is her most preferred medium. "You can communicate so much with it," she adds. "A brushstroke, a texture, as well as a color can tell you a lot about an artist's emotions." Elaisha began with acrylics because they were the cheapest and most accessible medium, but as she became more serious about her work, she transitioned to oil paints and is loving every minute of it. She has shown interest in pursuing additional mediums in the future.
When asked what motivates her to create art, she replied, "I'm inspired by everything." Elaisha stated emphatically that she strives to be as unique as possible. She claims that in the past, she would frequently come across artwork by other painters and think to herself, "Wow, I wish I could paint like that," but then she goes on to say, "I wish I could paint like that."

Topic: virtual and augmented reality
Augmented reality (AR) is becoming more common in social media. After Snapchat pioneered it, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok have launched their lenses, filters, and effects. In the process, AR is showing its value not only for branding and entertainment but also for commerce.
You can thank augmented reality for a quick filter to tweak your appearance if you don’t have time to touch up your blemishes before your morning post. If you were a fan of Pokémon go between 2016-2018, you can thank augmented reality for that experience as well.
In today’s episode, we will discuss all things augmented and virtual reality. How does this phenomenon impact our lives for the betterment of society? how does it hinder our ability to function without it?
First, it’s imperative to define and share What augmented reality and virtual reality are. We’ll start off by sharing a little about virtual reality:
Virtual reality or VR is a technology that creates a virtual environment. People interact in those environments using, for example, VR goggles or other mobile devices. It is a computer-generated simulation of an environment or 3-dimensional image where people can interact in a seemingly real or physical way.
Since the pandemic began, there’s been a spike in dependency in the United States when it comes to virtual and augmented reality. Some drive-throughs adjusted to contactless customer service by using self-checkout kiosks, we all probably downloaded services such as instacart, doordash, had conversations with colleagues via zoom, or our years of exposure to FaceTime, those are mostly examples of augmented reality.
Augmented reality Unlike virtual reality, where everything a user sees is generated by a computer, augmented reality keeps the real-world focus, but just adds elements that aren’t really there to enhance the user’s experience
Technology continues to advance as the years progress with amazing inventions and creations that may be moving faster than we can keep track of, Although it’s clear that there are many possibilities to immerse ourselves in the VR/AR world and take advantage of this leading tech, we also need to consider the applications and the cost before starting a journey into virtual and augmented worlds.
The distinctions between VR and AR come down to the devices they require and the experience itself:
AR uses a real-world setting while VR is completely virtual AR users can control their presence in the real world; VR users are controlled by the system VR requires a headset device, but AR can be accessed with a smartphone AR enhances both the virtual and real-world while VR only enhances a fictional realityIf you’re looking for a truly immersive gaming experience that will allow you to leave the real world behind, virtual reality (VR) will allow you to do just that. These gaming applications can help you experience places and events that go far beyond our real-world environment by allowing players to exist within a three-dimensional artificial world. The human brain can adapt quickly. When you’re in the VR world, it can take as few as 30 minutes to lose your sense of spatial awareness in this one. Your brain may be able to quickly adapt to inhabiting the virtual world, but your body will still remain in this reality—and so will the walls you can walk into and slip, trip, and fall hazards, and people you may punch in the face.
As virtual reality continues to soar in popularity, so do cases where the use of VR resulted in injury.
