This episode is a genius call. Every time we do a genius call, we focus on different aspects of genius, and today's focus is on identifying the brilliance that already exists within you so that you may give it the recognition that it deserves. Everyone, in my opinion, possesses some level of genius. It is a gift that is unique to you; it is the calling that has been given to you; it is your own soul. It is not enough to simply make a living from your skill; rather, the goal should be to use it to evolve into the finest version of yourself in order to live your life to the fullest. I've been teaching SASS for a while, and what I've noticed is that people don't see their own genius because they're so used to not giving themselves value or worth. It's really easy to devalue yourself when you look at yourself with tinted glasses. You may view yourself differently than others. You may be admired for your accomplishments, yet you may still be unsatisfied. Negative people may say things about you just to put you down, and if you don't trust yourself and your work, you'll believe it and despise yourself. So you really have to learn how to trust yourself, trust the process, and not fear mistakes and rejections. What's stopping you from believing in yourself? What are the steps you have to take to integrate those gifts into your life to help you get to where you want to be and accomplish all the goals that you have? Find your answers in this episode and learn how to use the SASS system to help you find your genius and live an accelerated life. If you are saying yes to igniting the light inside your soul and want to get rid of the “have to's,” “supposed to's” and “shoulds” and creating MORE “Heck Yeses!” – the SASS system is for you!

A Map ,called as The map of the Creator as found in Russia. It is the Dashka Stone Map. It is a 3 D Version . ‘ The Dashka stone is a unique artifact of unknown origin with (allegedly) a three-dimensional map of the Ural region. The stone was found in the village of Chandra in Bashkortostan, Russian Federation. According to researchers, the Dashka Stone constitutes evidence of the existence of an ancient civilization with high technical and cultural levels. If it is true it can also serve to confirm the views of creationists on the civilization of people before and shortly after the Global Flood. There are many ancient legends in Bashkortostan of a strange plates with ornaments. In 1921, historian Vakhrushev, who visited the Chandar mentioned them in his report. He reported about six boards, but four have been lost. And the sources of the nineteenth century states that there were two hundred boards. A stone slab measuring 1.5 meters by one meter and over 20 cm in thickness was brought to scientists at Bashkir state university, headed by the rector, Professor, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Alexander Nikolayevich Chuvyrov. They obtained in 1999 a three-layer plate, which, according to Chuvyrov, was made by artificial means. The first layer of 18 centimeters is cement or ceramic on the basis of dolomite. The second layer of about an inch – enriched with silicon, to give a picture strength. Microhardness of slightly less than that of corundum. Third porcelain layer several millimeters. Perhaps, in order to create diffused light, to illuminate the card ..It is noted that at the plate allegedly plotted map showing the location of Ufa elevated to the modern city Meleuz. This image is a relief, according to modern concepts, you can get it from cosmic heights. It is alleged that on the map Dashka stone marked waterworks system and channel length of 15,000 kilometers, dams, 12 dams up to a mile wide and powerful water intakes. Rhomboid are designated areas – they were far from the channels. According Chuvyrova – so runways. According Chuvyrova: those who then lived and built, either flew or used the water route, since no roads are on the map. The map also has numerous inscriptions. It is believed that this hieroglyphic-syllabic language of unknown origin. What the inscriptions say is currently unclear. According to Hindu legend, Daksha is one of the sons of Lord Brahma reside in North West, who, after creating the ten Manas Putras, created Daksha, Dharma, Kamadeva and Agni from his right thumb, chest, heart and eyebrows respectively. 3.Thiruvannamlai, Tamil Nadu is 3 Million Years Old. 4.Thirupathi, Andhra Pradesh, 2100 Milion Yeras old 5..Daksha resided in the North est of India. 6.Krishna's son Pradhyumna founded Port Baijn in Russia. 7.Indra's Vaikanasa Theertha was in Russia. 8.Russia was called Sthree Varsha, Kingdom of Women. 9.Lake Baikal was Vaikanasa Theertha. 10. Arkaim city in Russia as built on the Rig Vedic mandala Design and was called the Swastika City. 11.Daksha Hid in Antarctica, fearing Lord Shiva's wrath. 12.Swasthik Mark was found submerged in Antarctic Ice. Considering these facts it is safe to postulate that Daksha Created the 3 D Map of the Creator. It is interesting to note that Daksha is called the Creator of mankind in Hinduism. https://ramanisblog.in/2016/10/18/120-million-year-3-d-dashka-map-by-daksha-prajapathi/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ramanispodcast/message

On this week's episode, we take a listen to The HU‘s 2019 debut album The Gereg. The HU is a band from Mongolia that blends heavy metal and traditional Mongolian throat singing. The band's name, The HU, is the Mongolian root word for human being. They call their style “Hunnu Rock,” inspired by the Hunnu, an ancient Mongolian empire known as The Huns in Western culture. Some of the band's lyrics include old Mongolian war cries and poetry. Founded in 2016 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia by their producer Dashka, along with members Gala, Jaya, Temka, and Enkush. The HU combines rock music with traditional Mongolian instrumentation like the Morin Khuur (horsehead fiddle), Tovshuur (Mongolian guitar), Tumar Khuur (jaw harp), guttural throat singing and the bombastic bass and drums of rock. All four members have earned Bachelor's or higher degrees in music and have several years of touring experience throughout Asia and the Pacific Rim. Since the formation of their band, they have been working on their first album, The Gereg. The word Gereg was used as the first diplomatic “passport” by the Mongol Empire during the time of Genghis Khan. Thanks to an interview with Louder Sound, we take a look at the meaning of the lyrics on the songs and discuss our impressions. If you want to hear more of The HU, check out this documentary about their journey to create the album and tour in support of it. The HU recently released a new single, this amazing cover of Metallica's "Sad But True". This COVID-19 Relief Effort concert, in addition to live versions of the album tracks, contains some kick-ass new songs which hopefully will be included on their net album.

Enjoy our presentation of The 57 Bus: a True Story of Two Teenagers and the Crime that Changed their Lives written by Dashka Slater and published by Farrar Straus Giroux. One teenager in a skirt. One teenager with a lighter. One moment that changes both of their lives forever. If it weren't for the 57 bus, Sasha and Richard never would have met. Both were high school students from Oakland, California, one of the most diverse cities in the country, but they inhabited different worlds. Sasha, a white teen, lived in the middle-class foothills and attended a small private school. Richard, a black teen, lived in the crime-plagued flatlands and attended a large public one. Each day, their paths overlapped for a mere eight minutes. But one afternoon on the bus ride home from school, a single reckless act left Sasha severely burned, and Richard charged with two hate crimes and facing life imprisonment. The case garnered international attention, thrusting both teenagers into the spotlight.The 57 Bus is recommended for ages 13 and up for some language, violence and mature themes.

The Hu kombinerer mongolsk folkemusik på traditionelle instrumenter og strubesang, med moderne hard rock, hvilket har gjort dem til en verdensomspændende succes. Denne særlige musikalske stil af ”øst møder vest, gammelt møder nyt” har bandet valgt at kalde for ”hunnu rock” - en genre de selv har opfundet, i tæt samarbejde med deres producer Dashka. Og meget tyder på at de har ramt hovedet på sømmet. Formålet for The Hu har fra starten været, at udbrede mere viden om Mongoliets historie, kultur og natur til resten af verden. Og det er i dén grad lykkedes. Bandet der består af fire de klassisk trænede musikere Gala, Jaya, Enkush og Temka, er ikke mere end fire år gammelt, men er allerede ved at erobre verden – helt i tråd med med deres mongolske forfader Djengis Khan, som også er en af de helt store inspirationskilder for gruppen. På blot et par år har The Hu's to første singler ”Yuve Yuve Yu” og ”Wolf Totem” sammenlagt fået tæt på 60 millioner afspilninger på YouTube og de har allerede været hele Europa og USA rundt - med totalt udsolgte shows. The Hu's debut-album ”The Gereg” udkom tilbage i september 2019 og har toppet adskillige hitlister. Nu er de netop startet på en verdensturne, der i sidste uge bragte dem forbi et totalt udsolgt Voxhall i Århus. myROCK var i den forbindelse så heldige at møde Gala lead strubesanger og morin khuur spiller, samt Temka der spiller Tovshuur – en traditionel mongolsk to-strenget guitar.

Dashka Slater (@DashkaSlater) and The Fan Brothers (@opifan64 and @igo2cairo), author and illustrators respectively of The Antlered Ship, stop by the podcast to talk about the spirit of asking questions, a thread of melancholy, and how sometimes the journey is more important than the destination.  

Writer Dashka Slater sits with host Leah Rose to discuss her story "The Fire on the 57 Bus in Oakland." Slater's story is about an agender teenager named Sasha who was set on fire while riding a public bus home from school in November of 2013. In her story, Slater also profiles Richard Thomas, the 16-year-old who set Sasha on fire. The result is a well rounded portrait of two young men who were forever changed after that day.

El plato fuerte del programa de este mes se lo lleva la charla sobre podcast, divulgación científica y mucho más, que hemos realizado con Luis Quevedo (@luis_quevedo).
