Our team has been reflecting upon the year as we gear up for 2018. Here in our Ordinary Faces Property we have done our utmost to be especially attentive to all who have inspired us in more ways that one. We wanted to pay tribute to those such individuals :
She's the 16-year Palestinian Girl detained by Israel because Israel deemed her a "Threat" and as we went to press, extended her detention. We are grateful to HRH Prince Ali Al Hussein of Jordan for This.
As our team was finishing off its' daily curation/assessment on Social Media, we ran across this:
Our team picked this up courtesy of the team at History in Pictures on Twitter of this man playing a Piano during the 2013 Ukraine riots as he faced Ukraine Riot Police. We salute him and all such courageous souls for the courage of their convictions--it reminded us of the Violin player on the Streets of Caracas.
Beyond such souls, we also wanted to pay homage to all Journalists who lost their lives during 2017 as we especially wish to make sure the World does not remember the plight of Al Jazeera's Mahmoud Hussein who has been in Prison in Egypt for over a year over False Charges:
We are with Al Jazeera as we say #JournalismisnotaCrime and we must all be unisom to say #DemandPressFreedom Now as today marks 372 Days since he's been in an Egyptian Prison.
As we await 2018, though, we wanted to close out this notation with a bit of a more "jovial" note although what our friends @Futurism noted about a possible we must all guard against:
