Feeling good, Lewis. We have a special guest today at 917 in 10 minutes, Mr. Shane Smollion. The Wolf trader will be on. Give him a little extra time today because he has such great information that he's doing. Plus he's got a new Twitter service that he would like to chat about. So you can see the DAX has been in a little bit of a down trend since the three drive to a top pattern. But let's switch over and look at the one that is really interesting. This is our negative interest rate 30 year bond for Germany. And as you can see here, we've had this nice little ABCD pattern complete. Tiny bit of a reversal, but it is due to go lower based on what we're seeing in the regular bonds also. Now as a special treat, I want to talk about two things. First of all, when these patterns fail, folks, you flat got to get out of the way. If you remember last week, I just wanted to bring this to your attention. We were talking about this in the den. Mr. Z was talking about it buying the cotton around 63. And as you can see, it made a beautiful bottom down there at 63. It rallied for two days. It got up to 64 and change. And then look what happened when it goes below those key levels.  So pay very, very close attention to that because when they fail, they can fail very, very badly. And to that point, I want to bring one pattern to your attention that is in process right now. Whether it works or not, I don't know, but it's got all the things that we like to see and I'll bring it up for you. And here it is. It is the old slippery black stuff, crude oil. And we're down here near that 55, the exact 61% retracement on the daily chart, folks. I believe it's 5480. So watch that price. But there's a three drive pattern there. It lines up perfectly. You could see the pattern from Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. And it's a 15 minute chart, but you can see it on an hourly chart. Same thing. But that's what we're watching here in crude oil today, right at that 61% retracement. And remember, we were extremely bearish this week in crude oil because of the fact that the high that we made last Friday was a spot on 61% retracement. And then it went lower. Okay. Now, let's talk just a tiny bit about a market that is rocking and rolling that that is the silver. Here's the chart from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange on open interest. All I did was I pulled it up. You see where it says volume and the open interest is there. You see the red arrow. You see that September silver with 400, 149,000 open interest four times the three times the amount that we have. Oh, my gosh, it's a lot more than three. That's only 5000. Wow.  That's 20 times anyway. Notice that the drop in open interest folks when the market went up in a new high ground with with pretty good volume. You can see the volume there was one of the higher volumes that we've had, you know, since the ones we had way back in January. So this is a this is a key thing. This could be the first sign that silver could be reaching, you know, some type of a of a high. Mr. Z posted a couple of things. He sent them to me last night that I'll post into the newsletter this week that shows the big ABCD patterns and weekly charts of the golden silver. Because there's some ABCDs up here at this level, but the big breakout has occurred. And now what we have to wait and see is whether this open interest has got to start. We've seen this before, but, you know, maybe it's not going to happen again. I don't know, but it's worth paying attention to. And the reason for that is open interest is the amount of money that they're bringing in. They got to have new buyers. There has to be people that are there that are willing to, you know, enter the market. That's the that's the real key as we're as we look at some of these things. We were interrupted yesterday. In fact, I had lost electricity here twice this morning because of we got electrical storm due to the monsoon season. So this is always interesting this time of the year. But we will have Kevin Murphy on sometime next week probably or soon after that because we've had a lot of comments about that triangle pattern that he talked about. That's that ABCD, what we call the, you can see the three drive to a top. It's a reverse point wave expanding triangle, also known as the T6 pattern in the stock market. So we'll keep a close eye on that one as we look at it also. The euros had a pretty good rally here. The question, $64 question is whether this is a major bottom in the euro. All we do know that it's some type of a bottom. We didn't rally very much folks. We rallied about a, I believe 85, well about 90 pips off the bottom.  So that's still the jury's still out. And we won't know that answer probably for another week or so. But we're coming in next week, which will be quite exciting. Well, every week is exciting, but that should give us some more information of whether this dollar index is going to head back to 98 or head back to 95. That means a euro either at 111 or 114 as we look at that today. Okay, now the next one I wanted to cover here because we've only got about four more minutes before the first break is the gold market. I just want to show you the breakout that we had here. It's really frustrating, folks, when you're really bullish something and you're not in. And that's my fault for not just flat buying it and watch it go up. I am not very good at buying breakouts. Well, period. So I'm not going to start now. It's too late to try to do it a little differently. But we did get up. If you'll notice that 1.27 expansion up there at the top. That was at 1.57. 14.57. The high yesterday in this gold was 14.55. 40, I believe that was very, very close to that number. And we'll see if this is going to be a continuation. We'll have some, well, we've already corrected $20 already this morning. So we know we know we're in some type of a correction already. So watch $34 down, folks. So that would take you down to $23. $14.20 would take you down to the... Well, we're showing $14.17 on the chart here. So that would be down $34. And with markets swinging like this one is, we've had a couple of $60 corrections already in this thing. So it's not unusual to see these big corrections. So we want to watch to see if they form an ABCD format. And then we'll be able to follow it a little bit better. So let's keep a close eye on that. By the way, the sugar gave up the ghost. We talked about that. It broke down below that really key level at $12. And we certainly will wait to see what the next steps going to be. But we... In fact, as we have broken, as of this morning, we have broken through the new lows. We said once it went below $11.80, now we're trading at, I believe, $11.65. The buy would have been around $12.10 and your stop would have been about $200. And now you're completing another bottom down here. You're almost at a double bottom from way back in October at $11.40. We could be there in just a few minutes. So sugar's not ready, folks. You've got to be... When the patterns fail, you've got to get out. Stay tuned, folks. We'll have Shane Smollion on next. We'll be right back.

Good morning, Larry. How are you today? Very good, buddy. Go ahead. It's perfect. Yes, it's just perfect. It's just like Fox News or CNBC or whatever. Keep it up. Can we see the first chart here? Yes, I think you've got it up. Whatever you put up there. Wonderful. Good morning, everybody. Thanks for tuning in. I'm Shane Smollion and this is a presentation with Larry Pesavento here. We're going to be talking about the Fed a lot today and we're going to also talk about different types of cycles that I'm developing. They're going to be dealing with astrology and lunar cycles. Before we get started here, the first thing I want to talk to you guys about is how can you reach me? Because we often run out of time at the end of the show. I've created a free Twitter feed instead of an e-mail update. If you guys want to just subscribe to this, this is a free update. It's called Wolf Trader Info. The green logo is the free one. If you just want to get updates, I don't update it that often, but I do put when we're going to be on shows or media appearances and there's not too many tweets. You can see there's only 21 tweets to this, but that's the best way to follow me. It's the green logo. That's the free one. If you want to sign up for the service, the paid service, this is the one with 73,000 tweets. Obviously there's a big difference there. The red one is the paid version. If you see two different versions of Wolf Trader and you're confused, that's what that is. I just wanted to put that out there. The Twitter is a good way to sign up, because I put links there and I put all different... Sometimes I'll put some videos there too, but anyway. I'm going to go back over again about the Fed and what we talked about before, because some people weren't able to see the last presentation, and then we're going to kind of dovetail out into some lunar cycles, but essentially in 2018 we saw a sell-off in the markets, and the Fed began doing what I call a stress test. They tend to do this, and I think they do this because they want to see how strong the market can be on its own. And so they began reducing the juice in March and then the market was able to go for a few months on its own. It was able to kind of go on its own, but then it started failing and the Fed began this reflation. The thing to understand about the Fed when they want to reflate the markets, it doesn't take very long. It takes about two to four weeks, so there's just an incredible control that the Fed has over these markets. Now, I've talked earlier in the last presentation about some of these deflationary forces that are going on, and many markets, silver, oil, copper, coffee, natural gas, and we've had this persistent bond rally. So these are deflationary forces that are in effect, and I know you talk a lot about these negative interest rates on your show, but that looks like that's the direction that we're trying to go. And then we have this inflationary effect, of course, which is the Fed and the silent QE continues. And so the Fed uses at all-time highs, and I'm going to talk a little bit more about that. And like I said, they can turn this down trend up in two to five weeks. So they're at an all-time high in terms of their power and influence over the markets. Can you still hear me okay? Perfect, yes. Okay. So this is the timeline again. I spoke about this before. We had the QE-1, the 2010 stress test, QE-2 operation twist, QE-3, balance sheet accumulation, and then they attempted a stress test in this 2014-2015 period and the markets failed right when they did that. And now we're in this what I call the silent QE period, and they had that 2018 stress test. Now the silent QE means there's more efficient ways that they can drive this market. And also one thing to understand too is that we have this what I put quote-unquote reduction. I have a drawing tool here so I can draw on the screen here to illustrate this. But this is just the Fed's balance sheet. We're at $3.8 trillion here. Now notice this is what I call the quote reduction. So if you look at the net levels here, it's only hooked back to about the 2014 levels. So we still have a very significant balance sheet in terms of net assets. But the key here is net because what happens is during these quantitative easing periods the Fed was purchasing mainly quality paper also mortgage backed securities but they continue this purchase of mortgage backed securities. It's just these things mature. And so what happens is they keep purchasing these things and what happens is as they mature they fall off the balance sheet but the purchases have actually continued. So really we're like up here. In other words it's hard to understand so they show people this and they say look we're flat we've been reducing but in reality they're continuing these purchases. So the QE continues because when you start something out here and it starts to mature here and there's a lag time now you can repurchase it and it looks like the balance sheet isn't increasing but they are still purchasing these. So that's the thing too. That's one of the illusions that's going on that people don't understand that the QE is alive and well. So I'll go to this next slide here. Okay so this was the graph that I showed in here. This is the timeline. So right here this is QE one into here. This is you can see how small and microscopic this is relative to where we are now. And then this was the stress test in 2010 into here. And this one was really interesting to me because this is when Bernanke came into here and he was like well okay that was great we did QE one. Now I'm going to just start outright selling off the balance sheet. And he tried that and the market started collapsing into here and I remember this very clearly and shoulders everyone was talking about this was the end of the rally you know we were going to go down to all these new lows and then he was like no no I'm just kidding. We're going to have a new QE. And then this new QE came out into here and the markets rallied up into here and then the 2011 down into here this summer decline here coincided with the reduction of the juice. Also this coincided with an improvement in the Astro. So if you were an Astro trader and you were looking at lunar cycles, solar cycles, Bradley all these things, everything was working beautifully and this bottom into here actually I timed this one to the day just using transits because when the Fed isn't involved things work great with the Astro but then the Fed started becoming involved again with the operation twists this was the LTRO in Europe and that's when we started getting the zombie state and that LTRO had their own version but Europe's version was very different than our version because the Fed here believe it or not I don't understand all of this animosity towards the Fed. You hear all these people say abolish the Fed gold standard all of this stuff but the reality is that the Federal Reserve is very very transparent with what they do they will tell you what they're going to purchase ahead of time when they're going to purchase I mean they get it kind of close I mean they have these auctions but compared to the way Europe did it Europe came in here with this LTRO and they told you after the fact what they did so you didn't even know what was going on and then after the fact like this is what we purchased so our Federal Reserve is actually very transparent we got to pay a few bills Shane stay with us and we'll be right back Shane'sMillionWolfTrader.com Larry Pezzavento has just started his brand new service Fibonacci 24-7 and he's already delivering

we're talking with Shane Smollion go ahead my friend alright Larry can you hear me perfect boy this is amazing you know I call you during regular market times and we can never connect market retrograde everything's working so that's that's funny it's not I've lost electricity twice this morning so go ahead my friend well I've had a rough week I've lost a server this week too I've had some technical issues but our show seems to be going okay today so that's a good thing yes okay so 2014-2015 this is what I call our first this is a stress test into here this is a prolonged stress test market was able to go up on its own this was a real growth period into here this was real stuff into here this was not the Fed but then it faltered faltered in a big way I believe this was in August this was this August time so one thing to remember too people got to have to understand something the Fed has fundamentally shift the cycles of the market so if you're looking at all these cycles going back 20 30 40 50 years 100 years they're not really valid anymore because everything has been shifted there's all these new cycles that are emerging so I would urge anybody if you're doing cycles to look from 2008 forward on this okay that's just I would just be a recommendation I would make this is the silent QE period I was talking about and this coincides with that last diagram that I showed on the balance sheet where they continue the purchases but they're expiring so it looks like they're not adding to the balance sheet but really they are really they are and so the 2018 stress test came in and this this of course into here this is the Trump run into here this is after Trump was elected this was helped by the Fed so this was a Fed driven rally into here and then of course we you know we were able to they pulled back into here and the market went up just for a little bit on its own just for a few months it was able to do it but then failure once again and then they came in with the reflation only took a few weeks to do it same thing happened into here in this recent decline it only took them two weeks to turn up the juice and I'll show you in another diagram here that this these all happen before the market turns this is not linked to the market I'm not I'm not correlating this to the market at all this is all just Federal Reserve action into here and this is this is of course is the one that I talked about with the the actual reflation into here you can see that they start before the market turns this is not something that's linked to the market I haven't taken a moving average and shifted to the left or anything like that this is purely just the Fed I can close my eyes not look at the market and tell you what's going to do because I know what the Fed is doing and this is the most recent hook and now we're at these all-time levels we're at all-time levels of QE guys it's alive and well you know there's a lot of talk about these interest-raised cuts which we'll talk about I believe the next meeting is on the 31st and of July and that's when Mercury goes direct so that could be interesting but it doesn't really matter if they cut rates or not because they're already doing QE people I don't it doesn't I don't it's all this is all just for show in terms of the rate cut and not I mean this is what's affecting the markets not whether we cut interest rates or not so again this is this another graphic here two weeks to bottom four weeks to bottom before so you're talking about a very rapid rapid turnaround in the markets I mean the Fed they have complete control over these markets and they're at an all-time level of strength the level of tools that they have at their disposal now and they're starting these new reverse repos to which is yet another tool which is that's kind of like an anti Fed use but they control the markets with that too I mean there's just so many things going on here and they've gotten very good at it they've gotten very good at this and you know that's that's what they do that's this is this is really like their hidden mandate I talked about this before the real money what is the Fed use in terms of real money well if you take it if you take the Fed the market and divided by the Fed use you'll get an indicator down here this is this is why I say it's priced in real dollars so in essence when the market goes up without the Fed like you saw into here when the market goes up without the Fed and the Fed is falling the market is really going up on its own okay it's doing it up on its own but when the Fed has to come in and boost the markets the market is not doing it on its own so in real dollar values the market is falling so we're at these really really low levels and probably somewhere around the mid 300s is fair valuation on the S&P right now but people don't have to worry about that because the Fed is not going to go anywhere they're not going to abandon the market so this is here to stay this is a real thing the Fed is going to support us and this is the new norm whether you agree with it or not you know as a trader we really shouldn't care about these things I'm really relatively neutral to positive on that because I think you know what is the alternative in 2008 I say this to people and they say abolish the Fed gold standard all the stuff and I'm thinking well what do you want you want a great depression is that really what you want so the answer is no so anyway lunar cycle here July 17 now this is the old lunar cycle here I'll talk about this not intraday but you have a July 17 low into here so we just hit a major low into here and the planetary speed index which is one of the main astro indicators that I follow is hitting a low I mean it's hit it's been falling and the market's been going up so what does that tell you that tells you that we are extremely extremely extremely bullish right now and the market's been rising even in terms of recently we had a recent pullback in the Fed use and the market's still going up or it's resisting so you have a very very very very very very bullish scenario let's just say bullish in terms of this in terms of the astro is going down the even the Fed use has in the last few days has been falling and the market's resisting so that's telling me that this market wants to go higher I mean those are the indications that it's giving of course nothing is certain I mean you know you could come out with a war event or something with Iran tomorrow and you know things could collapse but as it is now the way I see this it's just it's very bullish it's very stubbornly bullish and so this gets us to the next concept that I talk about this is really really important to understand for astro this is this is a relative market bias and what that means is that what is the market doing in relation to the astro so the one thing people have to understand is that if you have an astro cycle like this and the market is bullish what's going to actually happen is that the market is going to react to this on the up cycles the market's going to go up and during the down cycle the market's just going to go sideways if you're bullish it's going to go up and when you go into the down cycle it's just going to go sideways so it's going to look like this if you're in a bullish environment you're rarely going to just trace out what the astro does and so you need to identify what is going on is it bearish is it neutral or is it positive or bullish and so right now we're in what I call a positive relative market bias in other words market wants to go up so when you get these down cycles all that you get is a sideways move and so that's really important to understand because the price action of the tape is the dominant feature so the astro is great to give you accents and whatnot but if you have a Fed in there and if you have a very bullish environment it doesn't matter if something like a Bradley or something like that is falling the market is just going to shake it off and go higher so this is why I always say the market works best when it's trading with a trend yes you can pick bottoms but the astro I always like to identify the bias and then I think that's the better way to go with it that's just my personal opinion on that but um we've got another break Shane you're doing absolutely

bull bear binary option hour next on TFNN ok folks we're talking with Shane you want to continue my friend sure Larry ok I have a lot of information here I know we got we have 10 minutes left so I'll try to condense this a little bit but these cycles, you want to be buying loads. If you're neutral, which sometimes that can happen, then you buy the loads and you sell the highs. If you're negative, you're only selling the highs. If you're in a negative situation, the cycle will be looking like this and the market would be going like this. It would be trending down. You'd be looking to short these only if you're in a negative bias or whatever. But right now, we're in a positive bias. It's a very positive environment. My personal feeling is I think even the Fed is surprised by how powerful that they've become with these markets. This is just a more detailed chart about how to treat the relative market bias. But even the Fed use goes through this. You have what I call four phases of the Fed use cycle. Phase number one is a visible bull. So markets going up, Fed use is going up. Phase two would be a hidden bear. That's when the Fed use is going up, but the market is lagging. Phase three is a visible bear. They're both going down together.  That's what we're in right now. Fed use is falling, but the market is resisting. So I'm going to show you this right now on the chart. Now these are two indicators that I look at. This one is the original Fed use that I optimized last around 2016, right before the election. It holds up very nicely. It models the market very nicely. This one here is an optimized version. And I've been working on optimizing it, trying to get it to be a little bit better than this one. And I think it's doing so. You can see that this non-optimized one tends to flutter a little bit where this one was more consistent with its pattern when it tends to charge up.  But they're similar. The thing to look at here, though, is usually when we have a falling Fed juice into here, you see this here, the market's kind of following down with it. Right here, we're in a sell period here and the market's resisting. You see this right here. It's not doing it. It doesn't want to go down. And so that's what we call a positive relative market bias. So you're looking to buy the lows into here. I've tried multiple times as short as multiple times on this rally. And it's been really tough going. I don't think we've succeeded very few times, if any, I think once or twice. That was it. It's very, very tough to short this market because it wants to go up. And we're coming into an astro period that's actually bottoming now. So this is the Bradley, which I'm going to go forward into here. I thought I had my here it is. Sorry, we went back here. This is the planetary speed index. We're actually coming into a bottom into here, and the market's going up. So that's a relative positive relative market bias. And so this is this is what what I was referring to. So we're just really strong right now. I mean, that's the only the bottom line is it's it's virtually impossible to short this market. And as long as the Fed keeps doing this, I can't see what's going to stop them. I don't see anything here. I mean, I used to look to astro to say, Well, you know, there's this multiple year high here, the Bradley stopping here, the planetary speed next in here. Okay, it's going to take a major dislocation for this market to go down. And again, those are always possible. I'm not saying that, but I haven't seen the Fed fail yet.  It very rarely lets me down in terms of major surprises on this. So I want to talk real quick here about model development. I'm working on developing new models, okay, that are going to that are combining the past with the future, because one of the issues with astro models is they don't have future verification in them. So when you develop a model, a regular astro model, it's only looking at the past, which I'll kind of fast forward here. And this is an example. This is silver. And this is using a traditional modeling system. This model only looks at the past. It doesn't correlate into the future to see how are you going to do going forward? And it didn't it didn't do too bad. I mean, if you look here on silver, it had a top here on the 17th, which was a few days early, but it did catch a lot of that rally. But what I'm working on here to improve upon these is I'm looking to create a customized lunar cycle that I'm going to be able to validate into the future. So on this chart here, this down here, this represents, these are different buy and sell signals down into here. So these green bars represent a buy and the red bars represent a sell. So this everything back here would be the past. Okay, and everything at end to here would be the future. So I'm looking to create these models that actually look at both of these. How did it do in the past? And then how did that do in the future? And these, these lines down here, these are the degrees of the moon as you go up. So I'm actually creating and writing my own lunar cycles now that are going to use something called a walk forward technology to validate the past with the future. So in other words, if you stopped it last weekend, this is what it would have done this week on silver. So this, this is something that I had worked on before, and actually started trying to finalize this last night. But it actually did a much better job of modeling this silver rally, you can see into here. In other words, the other one cut it here. But this one actually modeled it all the way up. I think in a better fashion than just looking at the past. So that's something that I'm working on to improve upon the the the existing astro that we have because with these changing markets with the Fed in there, you're gonna, you're gonna need to have even more edges on this than just a traditional cycles that just cycle the past. Can those be useful? Yes, very useful. But I think that this is going to be what I would consider to be like the future of it. So real quick, I know we're running out of time, but Mercury retrograde is Mercury's in retrograde right now and Leo tracing back into the upper degrees of cancer, coming up to the midpoint. And then there's this Fed meeting right around the 31st of July. So that's interesting for people who want to watch that because I talked about if this market is going to go down, it's going to need a dislocation. So you do have a relatively hard chart that day. And mercury and when mercury is going direct or retrograde, those are the days that big dislocations to the downside can happen. If they happen, every single major move that has happened to the downside has happened within plus or minus three days of the retrograde. I don't know why that is. But when those plants are moving slow, Mercury, Venus, Mars, all of those planets, especially the inner planets are moving slow. The markets don't like it. And they tend to they tend to fall when when you have a slow moving astrological environment. So that's something to watch if people want to watch that. It's maybe it's something to watch. So this was the mercury direct chart. Now, I spoke about this before that there's these two female female aspects here on the chart, which I think is interesting because what do you have in the news now you have these Trump versus the squad and then you have a Pelosi versus AOC. So you have it's kind of interesting in the news right now you have these two groups of women fighting in Congress. And I think that's interesting that that's showing up here. At least that's what the charts are saying here that this is involving female energies here. But this is the actual mercury station here. And it's making a square to Uranus. So hey, stay with us one more time. I want to know who wins this fight. Okay. Sure. We'll be right back machines. Oh, yeah.

Since 1984, Basil Chapman has been using the Chapman Wave methodology to advise traders of his expert market opinion. Well, originally hand drawing charts from the late 1970s into the 1980s, Basil noticed that prices under most circumstances virtually always had a certain number of legs to the upside before declining sharply. Later, Basil found that computer software which included the standard market technical indicators enhance the degree of accuracy and calling price turns as well as market trend calls. Thus was born the Chapman Wave sequence.

Jane, we were talking about this fight that's going on in Congress with the two ladies. What and I use that word quite loosely. Do you know I'm just joking. How do you figure out can you look at the birth charts of these ladies and find out who's going to be the winner? Yeah, well, let me tell you something here. This is really interesting. And in general, Libra is a tough energy for the United States because the United States is cancer. So Ilhan Omar, she's a Libra. So is AOC. But AOC actually has a very powerful chart. And she has a compatible chart with the United States. The other one's not so much. Omar definitely not. But AOC does and she's got a Kronos in her chart. Kronos shows up in presidents or high level officials. I'm not saying she's gonna be president. What I'm saying is it's not an accident.  Her chart doesn't show her as a bartender. Her chart shows her as a high level official, even though she's young and brash and the freshman and all this, you know, yada yada stuff. She's got a strong chart. So she, you know, she's, she's the one that I think is most compatible with the United States, even though they're all up on their socialist or democratic social agendas. But I do, I wouldn't underestimate AOC just based off the chart. Unfortunately, my server blew up that has all my astronauts. So this is an older chart that I had put before. But on this, on this Fed Decision Day and this Mercury Direct Day, you do have a harsh aspects here too. You have the Uranus here, which is the unexpected news. And then Venus is there. That can deal with money also. But notice here that all these plans are the same degree. Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and then Mars is right there close to these are all very close. Neptune moved a little bit off and then Zeus was also in there too, which is a warring aspect. So you know, this is this is an interesting, this is a chart. Let me just put you this way. This is a this is a loaded chart of a lot of tension and unexpected surprises right on that Fed release date. So it'd be interesting to see what happens with the Fed. And when I get that software back up and running, I got to migrate all my data over. And I can talk a little bit more about these individual charts. But I think AOC does have a relative of a strong chart, I would say. You know, Pelosi obviously is the old guard. She's the Saturn and these young. How do the folks reach you? Make sure it's posted on the on the site. Okay. Thank you, Larry. Hey, thank you, Shane. Folks, we'll see you on Monday. God willing.


and telling stories are so easy. Have a try! This is nice. So we're here at Maxivis. So who are you? I'm Alice of Massivis. Hello. This is your robot? Yeah, robot. It's a small kid from 0 to 9 inch. 0 to 9 inch? Yeah. And then you have, can you connect it here? The suit? No. So what can it do? Don't bother me. And then it can walk. Yeah? And the bag? Standing. With tiny columns. And the left? Stories are so easy. And the right? Have a try. Yeah? And there is a magic like this. Magic? Yeah, magic. Is there anybody? It will never fall. Come and play with me. You can't stop. No. It will stop. Let's say, I don't want to fall. Is there anybody here? Yeah. In the sphere? In the sphere. And then it will feel dangerous. And then it will stop. Yeah, but... He polluted the air again. So what is the software inside? I can say very well. MTK solution. MTK. MediaTek. Yeah, yeah. What is it? Connected to the internet? Yeah, yeah. 3G inside? No, no. 2G? No. Wifi. Internet. Wifi? No, no. No? Yeah, yeah. So since when you sell this? Is it a new product? Sorry? New product? This? Yeah, yeah. So how much it costs? You have a price for 1K or no? What does it mean in order? Maybe MTK is 1000 PCs and... Order? Secret. Yeah. And then you have this. What is this? This is the karaoke. Yeah, yeah. And the keys for storytelling and songs. And another function is record. Yeah, like this. So let's try to record a karaoke song. Okay, okay. Maybe you can sing a romantic song for me. Okay. For the babies. Yeah. So now... Does it work? Yeah. I'm singing in a little bear. All right. Yeah, now it will repeat. That was not me. No, no, no. Okay, so it has... So it has a karaoke function, recording, playback. Yeah, playback and play forward. Yeah, and the record. All right. And then you have the elephant. Yeah. So the elephant has a special function, right? Yeah. Almost the same with the karaoke. And you can support storytelling and songs. Yeah. And you can talk between the mother elephant and the kids elephant. So the mother can take the big elephant, the kids take the small elephant, and they speak to each other. But in turn, and the kids elephant, we all interact, interact with his mother's action. Drugged his mother's action? Yeah. It acts as remote control to the mother elephant. So you control the mother? Yeah. The kids always control the mothers? Yeah, yeah.


It seems strange to be back now after a week because it's actually been a little bit worth more than a week now since Wickey Tree Day. So missed everybody, cut it through with drills after so many days of being on with everybody. So we're here today with David Randall. Thank you everybody for tuning in for this final wrap up for the 15 Nations Global Tour. Our last country is Nigeria and we have David Randall here to walk us through what that was like for the last couple of weeks. This is a little bit different of an episode because we actually did our 15 Nations wrap up a week ago. So we wrapped up the tour. We just haven't wrapped up Nigeria yet. So we are going to talk a little bit about Nigeria today. And then it's also different because I don't have a new country to present to you, which is really the highlight, I think, of the presentations is getting to announce the next country and introducing you to the next 15 Notables. But for those who did not tune in to the 15 Nations Global Tour wrap up on Wickey Tree Day, I'll review a little bit about what we've got going on after today. I do have some activity to fill the next couple of months between now and the end of the year. And then we're going to introduce our global project, which most of you have probably heard of now because it's most of the audience here tends to be repeat attendees. So you're probably pretty familiar with it by now, but I'll give you an update on where we're at and it'll fill up a little bit of time. But this tonight's session may go a little bit shorter than the normal again, just because I don't have 15 people to introduce you to. So Nigeria. So here's my thought on Nigeria. When you take a tour around the world or any place else, if you're anything like me, by the time you get to the last couple of days, you're not quite as energetic and enthusiastic as you might have been back on the first couple of days. You're kind of anxious to get home and you're tired and you've already got new adventures planned that you're thinking of. So it seemed like with Nigeria, we were a little bit quieter. There wasn't as much dialogue going on. And we didn't make as many connections as we have in the past. In fact, we only made one connection, but we still had some successes. I'm going to talk about that. But I think part of it was just I think after 15 nations, we kind of started getting a little bit of fatigue. And again, when you see that finish line right around the corner, it's a little easy to kind of drop off the energy levels. So the other thing is Nigeria was a lot harder. I almost almost every country, it seems like when I do the wrap up, I say my group really surprised me at how many connections they were able to make. And this time I was more surprised at how few connections we made. But that's OK. I was just surprised because I thought Nigeria would be a lot easier than it turned out to be. I've done some work and we've made a lot of family attachments, but just not the connections. And whereas in some of our other countries, including countries like Malaysia and Syria, that are not necessarily Western European connected. But but nonetheless, they tended to marry fairly quickly in a generation or two, or a brother, a sister in law came from Western Europe or came from America. And then our our task was much easier once we found that connection. We just weren't finding them in in Nigeria. I spent today working on added another half dozen relatives to one of our notables. But just none of them seem to go anywhere, but just in Nigeria. And the problem with that is if we don't have Nigerian profiles on wiki trade, there's nothing to connect them to. We could we could add 100 Nigerian profiles, but if we don't have Nigerians on the tree already, we just don't have any way to connect them. So in order to make those world connections, we have to find somebody typically in Western Europe or the United States, Canada. And often we found some in Australia as well. And on a few occasions, we found them in South America down Argentina in particular. So we want to scroll down a little bit. We can look at the one individual who we did connect. And this is a little bit interesting. I'm going to wait to get there to say his name. The names are a little bit. I'm familiar to to the Western tongue, but Ken Sarawila, he was an environmental activist. And the interesting thing about him being the only one we connected is I almost took him off the list when I was making this, making my list. Because I just in reading his bio, I didn't think he was quite famous enough. He did have the information there on wiki trade, but there just didn't seem to be that worldwide kind of notoriety that that we normally would have. The problem with taking him off the list, though, was I had nobody else to put him in his place because it was really hard to find 15 Nigerians who met the criteria. The criteria, as we've talked about being that they are deceased, for the most part, I've made a few exceptions to that rule, but we generally want them to be deceased so that members can access their profiles. And then secondly, they can't already have a profile on wiki tree or if they do, it has to be completely unconnected from you, meaning no parents, no siblings, no children. Because that's part of the goal is to start with zero and see how far we can build. So when you're dealing with countries like, say, Nigeria or many of the countries we've been to that have only come into the modern age, let's say, within the last 100 years, their celebrities are all still living for the most part. They don't have actors and actresses and sports heroes from the 1800s or anything much beyond politicians and maybe some military figures. So that's why it becomes hard on connecting, or not connecting, but finding 15 deceased notables who are not on wiki tree and have enough fame that we're going to be able to make some connections. One of the reasons that, one of several reasons why I've decided not to continue with the 15 nations as it is, is we run into two groups of countries, countries that are already well represented on wiki tree, or those that are not, but also don't have 15 notables that I can find. So I was talking, Darren is one of our regulars, and he does a lot. He's from Australia, from New Zealand, rather, and he does a lot of work with that area and wanted to know if we were going to be visiting Oceana. And I said, I went through every single island nation down there and I could not find five famous people that met our criteria for any of those island countries. So Darren is going to be heading our Oceana group or project with the global project. So he's now taken over all of those countries, but he wrote back to me that he agreed. He cannot find a half dozen famous people for any one of those islands, unless we just want to go strictly with the politicians. But that kind of gets boring. So anyway, as I said, I was going to take Ken's role, we were off of the list, but he got on. And he is the only one that we connected. He had a son, I believe, who married a British woman. If you click on it, you'll see. You probably. Are you able to actually open his profile? Yeah, just give me a second. OK. Excuse me. It was there we go. OK. And excuse me, I guess the best way to do it would be to go up to. The my connections on his son's profile or on his. Well, you can do either one. OK, I will take you to the same place. So you'll see that his son married a private person whose father. That's OK, we're moving there, whose mother is also private. But her father is British or her grandfather, the wife's grandfather. So whether or not she was British or her mother was British, I can't tell because the profiles are private. But by the time we get to the grandfather lived his entire life in England, which means her mother was certainly born in England, whether or not she was, I can't say. But so we were able to make the connection really very quickly. That's awesome. And you are only how many people away from him? Thirty six. Thirty six. Yeah. It's still something. That's right. There's a connection there. Thirty six. So anyway. So he's the only one we got connected. However, the silver lining on all of it is even though we didn't make connections, we have added sixty five Nigerian family members to the two wiki tree. So somebody else coming along down the road now has sixty five more chances not counting the 15 notable. So that brings it up to eighty Nigerian profiles that are now on wiki tree that weren't there three weeks ago. So so that's cool. They're just waiting out there to be connected to. Yeah. So if we could start getting some Nigerian families or descendants of Nigerians and, you know, the United States has a has a large Nigerian population. I'm not sure about I imagine other Western countries, too. I don't know how well known sites like wiki tree are in some of these countries. Right. But I know that in, you know, across Western Europe and and that we've got, you know, lots of members. So well, and then we have the connectathon coming up in January. So maybe maybe somebody will will take an interest and work on adding more to the families. Right. And so why don't we with that? Why don't we head on over since we don't have a whole lot to show on Nigeria? Why don't we head over to the unconnected page that I've created? And this is what I'm hoping we'll keep people busy over the holidays. If you don't have, you know, family and traveling going on for the next two months and you need something to do, I have created a page here. Azure will put the link in the chat room. But this is all of the notables from all 15 countries who were not able to connect. Now, we connected. I'm going to double check the number here, but I want to say 85 notables. Let me check on that real quickly. If I can find the page. But that leaves, I thought I had the number here. I want to say 125. If I had my calculator, I could figure it out. There were two, there were 225 individuals. And I think we connected 85. I'm doing the calculation here. And that tells me. Nope, I just deleted it. I'm sorry. Sorry. Losing my spot here. Give me just one second. No worries. Sandy says thanks, David, for the tour around the world. I can't wait to see the global project take off. Yeah, and I think it will, based on the participation of our guy. So that leaves 140 is the math that I was trying to do. Since I'm not good in my head, I needed the calculator. So there should be 140 names on this list. But we connected 85 notables from all 15 countries. That's amazing, pretty amazing number. Yeah, we really had no idea what we were doing when we started. I had no idea what I was doing when we started. And I had no idea was going to take off like it did. So it is really impressive that we were able to do as much as we as we did in some of the countries. You know, I just could not stump my team. I'd come up with countries like I said, Malaysia, Syria, you know, Egypt, Kenya, it didn't matter where we went. They were able to figure it out. Yeah, that's so cool. I'd come up with a country. I think they're never going to be able to get Malaysia is the one I always come back to. I just they they don't speak the the not only do they not speak the languages of most wiki-triers, but they don't write in the in the same script as most of us do. So and I'm still trying to find the other page here. Trying to talk and look at the same time. It doesn't it doesn't work for me. Global project 15 nations. OK, here it is. OK, so if you could go to 15 nations, global travel log, that's the page I wanted to show people. Usually we got extra time today, so yeah. OK, so this is the page that just summarizes what we did on the tour. We had 225 notables over the course of the 15 15 stops in 15 countries. We started on January 1st, so we took us just over 10 months and we were able to connect. If you scroll just a little bit further, we were able to connect 84 notables. But I believe I have one more that I haven't added on there. So I think it's actually 85 need to double check that. But if we're going to round off, we can say 85. There's a link there to the unconnected. But this is just a list. This is chronological. Had I realized I kept this I started this going from day one and had I realized how many we were going to have, I would have organized it different. But once the tables up, it's real hard to go in and reorganize it. But you can if you click at the top of any of any column, you can sort by nation, you can sort by birth date. But these are in order by birth date. If you can actually filter here, you know, that that's what this section is right here. So you can filter for a country to wait. So if you just want to find one country, you can you can do that as well. Yeah. So if you're curious about one country, that's fine. Now, all of these individuals have been connected, but I've got them up here because that doesn't mean that they have well written bios. It doesn't mean that they're fully sourced. So if anybody wants to go in, well, and it also doesn't mean that they have both parents, their wives and husbands and children and, you know, siblings all up there. So sometimes it's just a direct you know, line back, you know, father to father to father or so on with with none of the collateral relatives tied in there. And the more of those collateral lines that get filled in, of course, then maybe some of the other unconnected people from the same country will be able to be connected. So yeah. And as we get over to our global project, some of those teams may want to come back here and look, for example, we do have a Greek project that is already in the works. So, you know, they may want to come back here and look at some of these notables and see how they how their profiles have been set up, some of the research that we've done and then incorporate them into their own project. So if we go back to the unconnected, because that's where the real activity lies. So the unconnected, I sorted differently there by category. So we can go back up to the top and we'll scroll down the different categories that people will find here. So we only have two royals that didn't get connected. Royal families were fairly easy to connect, but we do have the only king of Haiti, who is still unconnected. We can scroll down to the actual section and see the pictures going on there. So there's our king of Haiti and then also our princess of Nigeria, who, again, we're able to make some connections to her family, but they're all still in Nigeria, so there's no connection to the big trade. Then we went into political leaders. The political leaders, I've said this over and over, but it always fascinates me how difficult it is to connect the the political leaders. And I think in large part, it's because they keep their lives very private in order to maintain the mystique of being kind of all powerful, a lot of them, especially those that are more dictatorial and that you see there, Manuel Noriega and some of the others. And then we have the current leaders. There's the current leaders are also difficult for a combination of reasons. One, again, they don't they don't share information about their families like we do in the United States and a lot of Western countries, but they're also still living and their families are still living. So even if we might be able to find their spouses, sometimes even their parents, if they're all still alive, it doesn't do us a whole lot of good. So that that's a problem with a lot of the living heads of state and heads of government. So we still have a few. I think we only connected out of 15. Not everybody has two, but there's probably, let's say, 25 heads of state and heads of government. We only connected three. So that was that was our biggest our biggest challenge as far as a category of notables. Looks like I've got a picture missing there. So I got to fix that. There's a linsky from Ukraine that's in the news quite a bit. Then here we have some activists and reformers. So most of these people, they're not not far off from the politics. They didn't typically hold top office, but they were active in the the revolutions that, you know, most countries at some point were colonies and a lot of these people were colonial leaders who led revolutionary movements. A few of them were not revolutionary leaders, but they were feminist leaders. And then you've got at the bottom here, you've got the first African woman ever with a Nobel Peace Prize. You're working to improve the economic well being of her country. I'm not so much a revolutionary. We've got a few artists. I don't think there's too many artists here. That's it. Now it's like yeah. Yeah, so we got we got a few. Artists are notorious for being kind of private. We've only got one business leader. And that's that's typically because most of the business leaders are well known, maybe in their country. But but not necessarily worldwide. So in this case, we have the founder of Samsung, who's from South Korea. So he was an internationally known person. We've got entertainers, which is, you know, my favorite group. It's everything from composers and classical musicians to movie stars. And towards you and you'll see some rock stars. We've got an Academy Award winning actress right there, Katrina Paxnow. She's one of our very few Academy Award winners that we haven't been able to connect. I think there's and when I say we, I mean, wiki tree in general, not just our project. Right. Is the individual who wrote Zorba the Greek? We've got. You have Vangelis there who wrote Chariots of Fire. I think he's coming up still opera singer. Yeah, there he is. And Vangelis, Cranean actress, Egyptian actor. Yeah. Malaysian singer. That's great. Yeah. So we've got a whole range of of actors and musicians there. Then we've got our scientists and explorers. A bit of a range here as well. Some more internationally known as than others and a group of astronauts. I was real big on trying to get the astronauts in if I could. Yeah, that's five astronauts. We weren't able to connect any of them. But I was really amazed at how many countries have sent individuals into space, Syria, Malaysia. I just, I never would have known that. And then I miss what country are we on here? Sports. Yeah, this is our sports section or what category? The founder of the Olympics, the first Olympic medal winner. We've got a chess player in there, which not necessarily a sport, but martial artist, lots of gold medal winners. And if you happen to connect a gold medal winner, head on over to the Olympics page and get it connected over there as well. Looks like I got a column that's out of whack there. So we'll get that fixed.  We had Rod, Rod, Karoo, the baseball player, but we did get him connected. So he's no longer on this list. But a couple names, people might recognize. And then our writers and our poets, our journalists, going back to the 1700s, some of these names, all the way up into the 2000s. And then miscellaneous turned out after I created the profile to be mostly religious leaders. There is a yoga master, which isn't quite religion, but some people think of yoga as a religion. It's religious based at least. But most of these are somehow related. So I made a mistake of adding two Roman Catholic cardinals and didn't think about till afterwards that they don't marry and have children and families. So we limited our options with those. And then we got our Pope of voodoo from Haiti, who was a big, big player in bringing voodoo into the mainstream there. So there's a whole list. So go ahead. Lots of lots of options for people to add to all of these are unconnected. We'd love to get them connected. And if we can't get them connected, at least add a few more family members. If one, there's no time limit. So this will be up indefinitely. So if you're bored and you just want to give it a try. It's a lot, you know, it's a lot of fun asking any of the guys that were and ladies that were working on it. The, the. I think if we as we go back and I've talked about this before. We, those of us that have been part of the project from the beginning have learned a lot of skills that we didn't have in the beginning. And my hunch is that if we are to go back and look at some of those first countries, we'll start making connections a lot quicker than we then we maybe did in the beginning. You know, we, we weren't limited strictly to 3 weeks, but our, our instinct was at the end of 3 weeks to move on to the other the next nation. But I think if we stuck with some of these countries for 6 weeks or so, we'd, we'd have a lot more done. So I don't think we've exhausted all of our research options. I think we just ran out of time and you know, moved on to other things. But now that we have the time and again, we've, we've boosted our skills quite a bit. I, I bet if we went where to go back, we could get a number of these people connected that we might have been stuck on at the time. We have some comments. Yeah, I like this last one. Yeah, I like that one. I, I hadn't thought of that. They probably do have a lot of siblings. And then if you can find out the parents and how the football soccer challenge went. Okay.  And let me give you a, it went very well, but let me see if I can give you an actual number here. I wasn't prepared to talk about that. But so the football is relevant, you know, to the global aspect is, we do a sports challenge every month, but the football challenge we picked, I picked, I think 90, we came up with 90 football players from around the world. And each one was from a different country. So there were no duplicates in terms of countries.  So we connected 12, 12 football players, but that's not bad given the given the task because you could go in and connect somebody in a country that you have some experience with if you're French or you're Canadian or whatever. But most of us aren't going to have experience with the records of more than a country or two. So a lot of the countries were, you know, it's unlike, unlike the global tour where we're working with 15 people from the same country. So once we figure out the records, etc, we can continue to use those for the remaining notables here. Once you figure it out and you go to the next one, you got to start all over learning about the records of that country. So this was a challenge. Now, this only records what I just stated with the 12, that's only the number of, if you just stop right here for a second. This is exactly what I was about to talk about. We were only talking about connections. Now you look at Richard. Richard Mueller Nelson and he, it says here, he has a 90, he started out with zero connections. And we now have 190. That means that somebody created 190 profiles to add to make a connection. But it's 190 more profiles that are on the tree that weren't before. So all of these individuals started out as zero. So anywhere where you see a number next to that in the column. It tells you how many additional profiles were created. And it was in the, it was hundreds of profiles that got created. Last month during this project. That's great. And this was a one month kind of somewhat. Spontane people didn't have necessary advance notice. So on the first of the month, I put it up on G to G. And whoever wanted to drop in could so this was not an organized group of people by any means. Now I will say that the Nordic team project jumped in and did a lot of work on this. So I think they're who got this 190 up here. But they connected a few of our, of our Nordic football players, Norway, and I'm not sure which, which countries they all did succeeded with, but Sweden, Finland, that area. So it's one of those pop up challenges. Yeah, I mean, we have a sports challenge every month. So they knew a sports challenge was coming up, but they didn't know what it was or, or what country it was. And as Vicki says, it was difficult, but super fun. And that's, that's what I love about it. It's, it's not easy. You know, but it's that same feeling I compare wiki tree a lot of times to doing crossword puzzles. It's that puzzle aspect that I enjoy and sometimes you know I do the puzzle in the back of people magazine and I'm done in 10 minutes. But then I get out the New York Times. And I really struggle with it. But when I finish it, I'm really impressed with myself. So, yeah, so there's something about the reward of, you know, there, there's some things that we can do. Wiki tree browser and the sorcerer where it just kind of does the work for you and, and some of that's really, you know, it's fine, but then there's other things where you got to really put in everything you got and rack your brain to get all that when you do. And the thing that, you know, so many of us love about wiki tree is the collaboration to have the team to go in and say, look, I'm halfway there. What am I missing? What can I do differently? And get a fresh set of eyes or thought process going. That was, that was a real joy as well. Very nice. So with our last few minutes for those that haven't tuned in to some of our earlier presentations, let's jump on over to the new global project. And let me just give everybody a little bit of an update on what's going on there and what we still need from those that are that are interested in available. So this is a still kind of a prototype of our final, what will be the final project page. So there's still some things here that are going to be eliminated some things that will be added. So don't, don't view this as a final product. It's a work in project but let's scroll down a little bit. So, so people that don't know. I just wanted to say, I dropped into the chat, the live chat the link for the wiki tree day global project presentation. So if somebody hasn't seen that they can go back and watch that. Yeah, we did a whole one hour project profile on this for wiki tree day so if you haven't seen that that's going to give you a whole lot more information that I'm going to give you tonight, but I just want to particularly for anybody that hasn't seen it. If we could stop right here, let me just say, for people that have no idea what I'm talking about the global project we have a global project. Currently, but this is going to be a completely revised global project so don't confuse us with the old global project. The new global project is going to have a link to every country in the world. There will be a free space page for every country of the world. And ideally, we're talking 195 countries. Ideally, we will have a project manager and a team for each of those countries. Now, I imagine in the beginning there will be countries that don't get a lot of attention and don't get volunteers for and that's fine, but they will still have a page. So if you want to go there and see what's, you know, what's available, there'll be information about that country. And, you know, you never know when you might come across a relative from somewhere you didn't expect or you're helping somebody else out with a project or you're working on the Notables project or one of the others and you come across a country you're not familiar with doing research in. Or you're just curious and you just want to go and see what's available. You know, I just finished doing today I finished creating the. So, no, I'm not even squelching. I'm just a little bit. I'm drawing a blank on the name of the country. Go down to the the bees. But I'm sorry. I was just totally blanked out there. But I was I created the page for but I didn't know anything about. Bhutanese genealogy, or a bunch about Bhutan in general, but there's a lot of of interesting information there. We will have links to all of the country's National Archives and National. Libraries will have links to ancestry and family search and Cindy's list and all those other places that you might find. And that and having a place for each having a space page or project page for each country then allows for greater collaboration than people can share there what they maybe they know of something that we don't have there so it's really it really does rely upon people volunteering and so then that's the next the next point that I want to make is that we really need volunteers I'm hoping to find 195 project managers to to take over these. Some people are taking over more than one so may not be quite under 95 oh and and also let me say this it's not actually 195 because those countries that already have projects. Canada, England, Australia, those those are going to remain as they are you'll see here we've got to list this is the non European projects that currently exist on wiki tree. And above that is the European projects that appear on wiki tree. So these are these are like project Denmark project England pages. Yeah, instead of just a free space page so yeah and if you if you scroll down on the list here and you get to Denmark. There will be a link. It probably works if you want to scroll down to Denmark. Oh, from a little bit further down the alphabetical was there. Down here. Yeah, let's let's scroll up a little bit to the seas and let's see maybe Canada's up there. Yeah, so click on Canada. And you'll see it just takes you to the Canada Canada project page. So we're not going to be taking over the country pages or anything like that. We'll just provide a link to those that already have this is for all those countries and we figured there's about 18 country pages currently. So that still leaves are somewhere around 175 or so countries that don't have projects. So what do we have going on already we already have a team prepared for or preparing for Armenia for Greece for Belgium for Luxembourg for all of the South Pacific Islands. Trying to think if I'm missing any. I know I'm missing a few Argentina. Oh, Tanzania and but those are ones that actually have leaders in place that are already starting to put together their teams. But again, so let's go to I think I need to unlock one. Let me open up. Let me open. So let's do Belarus. That's when you don't hear much on it is unlocked. So if you if you click on Belarus. So this is what a page is going to look like. It's going to have everything you need to know to start doing genealogy with with Belarus. The first things are just our mission and our goals for the project in general. We'll have our leadership listed there how to become a member. And then we get into the heart of the project, which is the information about Belarus. We have a little bit on geography. We talk about the different administrative units, the capital city, etc. And there look there's going to be a bunch of links right there where it says geography of Belarus. You can go over to Wikipedia and read all about it in detail. If the paragraph we've written here isn't enough for you. So that's the history and again, this is focused on what you need to know if you're doing genealogy. It's not going to go into every event that happened in an earthquake here and this and that going on. But just what happened with the ethnicities that lived in the country, who came in who came out a brief time timeline. The Dervol graphics again talks about the various ethnic groups that you're going to run into there. So just because you have ancestors from Belarus, it doesn't necessarily mean that they're Belarusian. According to this, they could be Russian, they could be Poles, they could be Ukrainians. So that's important to know. Talk about the languages you may run into. There's a link to Google translate if you need it. Talk about the different religions because that's often where your records are going to be found. Different naming conventions because not only does do different countries have different ways of naming their people. But we also need to come up as a country by country with how we're going to insert those names into the boxes that wiki tree gives us. I was working on as I said, but an earlier today and they don't give last names. So, according to the royalty project when they don't when they have kings and queens with no last names they give them the name of the country. But if we do that, then everybody ever from Bhutan is going to have the same last name of Bhutan. So that doesn't necessarily work. So these are the leaders and on every page I'm going to have the current leaders. The current. I want to think that's wrong. He's not the king of Belarus. That should be the president of Belarus. And the prime minister, a lot of this is cut and pasted. So sometimes I miss things. But it'll change that from king to president of Belarus. If there is a monarch, or if there was a monarch, if there is a monarch, they'll be as listed there as the head of state. If there was a monarch, but there is no longer, there will be a section that that shows the last monarch of that country. And then from that individual, you should be through succession boxes. You should be able to go back in time and see all the monarchs that wherever part of that line. That's great. That's really exciting. And you scroll down a little bit further and you'll see. So this was interesting to me, some of the names here. So I'm going to give a list of notables just like we did with the 15 nations tour. There won't always be 15. In fact, I'm keeping it under 10. Sometimes it's only going to be closer to five, depending on the country. I didn't know these people were all Belarusian, but there's Mark Shagall. There's Irving Berlin. Some others that I'm not as well familiar with, but they're big names in their fields and particularly in their country. We've got a rock singer down there or a folk musician. And then I think we have, her picture didn't come up there, but we've got Olga Corbett, who was a big name in gymnastics when I was a kid. And then the final section, if you go a little bit further, this is our resources. So as I said, every country is going to have a link to Wikipedia. It's going to have a link to family search. It's going to have a link to the ancestry documents that are available for that country. So those are all Belarusian related documents they have, Cindy's List, World Gen Web, which was something I thought was going to really take off and never seem to. A link to the Library of Congress as it relates to that country. And then we got down here the Belarusian National Archives and the Belarusian National Library. So far I have yet to find a country that does not have their archives and national library online. So we'll provide links to all of those. That's wonderful. So the next thing is, again, somebody then needs to take over this page right now. It's just an information page. But if somebody's interested in, in this case, Belarusian history. But if there's another country in the world that you've got interested in your, you want to start a team, you'll come over. We'll give you the link to access the site. And then it's up to you to decide what you want to do with it. You and your team.  There's all kinds of ways you can go with it. And also, it would probably a great idea to to contact the ambassadors project, social media group, because they can, if you're not on social media yourself, then they may be able to help you spread the word out on social media, that there's a new project for Bhutan, or whatever country your focus is, help spread that that word, because there's there might be a Facebook group out there for that country. And so just kind of think about that too when people are interested in working on a country, think about ways to spread the word out to the other genealogists out there. And I imagine in time these these countries are all going to kind of take off in their own directions and that's fine. I don't plan on micromanaging 195 countries on top of, you know, the notables and everything else that I'm doing so my goal is to get everybody started and then I'll be around for support.  But I'm not going to come in and tell each one of these country projects how to run themselves because it just too much work. But it would just be overwhelming. Yeah. So, you know, you don't have to worry about somebody necessarily looking over your shoulder. But again, we will be here to help so also don't feel like you're going to be thrown in there. Defend for yourself. Well, they get a whole whole project page already set up and everything so they're there. I have this theory that a lot of people may want to do projects but don't know how to start and are intimidated by that. So here's what do they call it turnkey project. Yeah. You're getting started. And I don't expect all 195 will be claimed, you know, by the end of the year, but over time, hopefully that, you know, they will and and if the country isn't claimed, it just means we don't have a lot of interest in that country and so be it. But but something that is real key and I think this is more along wiki trees intention with the project is we really do want to be a global community. And if somebody from Belarus logs on and there's nothing about Belarus on the on wiki tree, they're not going to stick around very long. So, at least if they see we have a page and we've got resources.  But, you know, if we want it to be a global community. We have to have, we have to acknowledge all of these countries that are not only under represented on wiki tree but are under represented in the genealogical community. As a whole. Yeah. I've said, I've said before you go to a bookstore and you can find books on English genealogy German Scandinavian but you're not going to find Bella Russian you're not going to find. Right. And I challenge you to find any other your genealogical website that has a boot to these section. So we will probably be the first, which is kind of kind of cool in itself, but. So anyway, if anybody has any questions about it, go ahead and email me. If you're interested in adopting a project or not necessarily even if you don't want to manage it, but you just want to be, you know, participate. Drop me a note and, you know, we'll get you going on it. I'm dropping your profile. URL into the chat so people have access to be able to send you a private message from there. The project itself will not open until January 1st. But if you're interested in leading a project, we will. We'll get you set up in advance. You can start preparing. All right. And with that, I think we've covered just about everything there is to cover. It's kind of a bittersweet session. It's, it's, it's sad that it's over but it's also kind of a relief in some ways that it's over. Particularly because we have some exciting stuff to look forward to. You know, now that it is over. So yeah, I agree with Kathy. It's sad that it's over, but we got, we're going to have a good 2016. Paul's sending us thanks for the 15 country project was interesting because he was, he was with us, I believe, from the beginning and just did some amazing work. That's great. Well, thank you everybody for joining us for this last 15 nation global tour wrap up. And we will see you all around the tree. Hopefully we'll see some people volunteering to take on some of those countries for the global project. Bye. Thank you everybody.
