{ SOLD-OUT } *“A searing tale of a Mother’s devotion, defiance, and survival.”* Two decades after **Anusree Roy** wrote her hit play *Pyaasa*, she returns to **Theatre Passe Muraille** with a powerful sequel — *Through the Eyes of God*. Tickets are **$40 each**. *Reserve your own* at the link below. Venue only has 40 seats!! Chaya, the protagonist at the centre of the original play, is now a spirited young woman and mother, who is arrested for the desperate act of stealing rice to feed her young daughter. But soon she faces a far greater horror: her child, Krishna, has been trafficked to Delhi. Driven by primal love, she embarks on a gut-wrenching journey through the underbelly of a broken system, where every lead is a gamble and every choice is impossible. ***Through the Eyes of God*** is a piercingly emotional and sharply critical journey that asks: How far will a mother go to protect her child? A reminder on who **Anusree Roy** is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anusree_Roy **Ticket link here: (for Sunday February 15th @ 2pm)** https://www.passemuraille.ca/through-the-eyes-of-god/ NOTE: this performance is taking place in the new smaller/intimate 'Back Space" at Theatre Passe Muraille. *Theatre Passe Muraille* is Canada's alternative theatre company for Independent and experimental theatrical work since 1968. Also--this Play has just been recommended as 'Not to be missed' by a local theatre reviewer! **Seating for 40 people only!** Plan ahead. Don't delay. I found this review from 2008--**PYAASA** (her original play about the outlawed caste system) https://www.stage-door.com/Theatre/2008/Entries/2008/10/27_Pyaasa.html

Facebook event page: [https://www.facebook.com/events/880280588046613](https://www.facebook.com/events/880280588046613) Ready to put AI to work for animals -- ethically, creatively, and with purpose -- and turn ideas into effective strategies you can actually use? Brains and heartlights on! Here's your spark-to-strategy way to go about it. Mike Wigmore of Equip AI, a long-time vegan and animal activist, brings a rare and powerful combination to the table: Deep AI and technical expertise paired with serious creative juice. Mike doesn’t just understand the tools -- he knows how to play with them, push them, and shape them into strategies that advocates can actually use. This workshop is designed like a Lab experiment: We’re taking an idea, testing it, refining it, and extracting real-world advocacy outputs -- all in real time. No abstract tech talk -- Mike will guide participants through the full lifecycle of an animal rights campaign, showing how AI can support each phase: • from initial hypothesis (campaign idea) • to research and context-building • to setting up a context-aware AI project • to rapidly generating usable, resonating campaign materials and strategies Together, we’ll build a comprehensive animal rights campaign within an hour or so, centred on a real issue…which shall be revealed on the day of! The resulting strategy will be something you can tweak, adapt, and build upon for other issues, long after the workshop ends. What’s on the Lab bench: Tool Tour \* a fast-paced run-through of several AI tools -- what they do, how they differ, and where they’re most useful for advocacy \* Mike will show how to prompt effectively -- not just what to ask, but how to guide AI toward sharper, more nuanced results Live Campaign Build \* using a real-world animal advocacy issue, Mike will demonstrate how AI can help design a multi-pronged campaign that speaks to different audiences and motivations -- logic, compassion, ethics, environmental impact, health, and more ✨ No advanced tech knowledge required! ✨ Ideal for activists, creatives, organizers, campaigners, and curious humans ✨ A more hands-on follow-up session is planned for a future date Animals need us to be nimble, strategic, and creative -- and AI can give advocates a powerful edge over their non-vegan counterparts. Used thoughtfully, these tools can help us move faster, test ideas sooner, and turn good intentions into coordinated action. Supercharge your animal advocacy -- without replacing your heart, values, voice...or brain! “Don’t panic -- the robots work for the animals.” \-\- Vish\, Chief Lab Assistant A pay-what-you-wish(bone) presentation! The Lab is a volunteer-run, largely self-funded initiative. Donations from kind people allow us to host more community-building events, develop more programming, conduct more workshops, create more content, purchase more equipment and literature, and cover our operating costs.

This training is designed for real estate agents who want to learn how to play the Agent Investor game. The goal of this training is to help you flip your income into ownership. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Investors move fast. Most agents don’t.** If you can’t evaluate a deal quickly and confidently, you lose credibility—and the opportunity disappears. Deal or Disaster teaches a simple, repeatable framework to determine in minutes whether a deal prints money or burns it. In this session, you’ll learn a 5-minute investment evaluation system that works across flips, rentals, BRRRRs, wholetails, and creative deals. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s speed, clarity, and credibility. We’ll break down: * How to identify the investor’s true goal before running numbers * A fast, reliable method to estimate ARV with confidence * How to calculate the real all-in acquisition cost * Simple heuristics to ballpark rehab and improvement costs * The key metrics that reveal whether a deal works—or should be killed You’ll also learn the most common red flags that signal bad deals, thin margins, and hidden risk, so you know when to pause or walk away. When you can analyze deals in minutes, you earn authority, build trust, and become indispensable to investors. Speed creates opportunity—and opportunity creates repeat business. If you want to move from real estate generalist to trusted investment strategist, this session gives you the framework to do it. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Did you miss it?** [Watch all GRID Reston event playback on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOTh5kxLLJI1G3VH6Pqhlhu0uTA8yrdpi) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Join the GRID Facebook Community** [Join the online GRID community here](https://www.facebook.com/groups/gridinvestor) to post deals, ask questions, and connect with other investors across the globe.
