We are here for another episode of Wicked Tree Tours with me, Ewan, Porstall, Azure, who is our tour guide through the site, and Julie, who's here to smile and continue, right? To offer insight to Alizm. Yes. Right. And I can watch comments too. And watch the comments. So make comments, cause Julie's watching. Yeah. No, we're excited. Today we want to share some of the Wicked Tree Browser extension features with you. If you're not familiar with that, it was released when? A few months ago, end of the year. I think it was in November, yeah. Yeah, yeah, cause it was right after the October sun. And they are adding stuff to it on a regular basis, which is awesome. So there's several kind of different themes for the browser. There's global features. There's ones for profiles. There's one for editing. So we're just gonna go through some of the more global features today and share those with you guys. So we'll just have Azure jump right in. Okay. So there is a space page, Wicked Tree Browser extension where you can learn more details about the extension and how to use it more. But today we're gonna just talk through some different aspects. I just wanna touch briefly on access keys. So an access key is going to be different for PC versus Mac. And they're just basically quick keys to get you somewhere. So I'm just gonna share, get into G2G is I'm on a Mac. So I'm going to do the shift. I'm sorry, shift control option G takes you right to the D2G. So that's what the access keys are. And... Yeah, those are nice and handy. If it doesn't work for you, check that Wikipedia access keys article because some things are a little different in browsers. It's different by browser also. So... And operating systems. Yeah, so there's a link here for that, Wikipedia access keys. So, oh, and I... There's a handy shortcut in case... Yeah. And just also I was gonna show, I forgot to show first, here is when you have... I have Chrome. So, and I have it pinned to my browser up here. So that's why, what this is up here. And this is where you can go through and turn stuff on or off. As you can see, I have pretty much everything turned on. I'm just gonna briefly show and turn on for you guys the dark mode.  So whatever your preference is that way. I'm just gonna turn that back to normal. It's gonna say, please put it back, my eyes can't handle that. I know. It just looked wrong for WikiTree. I know. Okay, so there's dark mode just briefly. And then the apps menu is... The next thing we're just gonna show you. So from the find menu, there is a drop down for apps to show you all the different apps that are available. It's a pretty long list that we have. So all of them are listed here. Also, there is a my menu option and you can see down here in the lower left hand corner is the options. There are the different apps. And you can actually, if there's one you like, you can put it in your menu. So let's say... And where will the my menu show up again, Azure?  Yeah, let me, here we go. So here's my menu. So I've added... Oh, there we go. The teaching builder to my menu. So basically you can put in your menu things that you use often. You can also sort those. So if you wanna do them alphabetically, you can move them around. Yeah. When you're in the my menu page, you can move them around to put them in whatever order you want. Yeah. Yeah, you can drag them. Yep, drag and drop. And then also just, like it gives you a lot of options from the menu to add, but right below where Azure is right now, it says add any link. So you can really add anything to this menu. It doesn't have to necessarily be from the many pages. You just copy the URL there and whatever you wanna call it. Like Sandy was... Yeah, that would be... She has... Sandy said she has a lot of stickers there. Yeah. So you could add links to the different stickers you use a lot or... Or somewhere I go a lot for getting images for those that died young. So I go there a lot. Remember the children images page. And yeah, another place I go a lot is the external links template pages. Make sure I'm using something right. Okay, so next. So that's the my menu. Also in my menu that we wanted to show and I've got it queued up here in my menu saved is the random profile button. I love this button. So I'll just take you right to a random profile out there. I like to just go to a random one. Probably not that one since it has a lot of stuff done and then see if I can add a source or a person or something in my free time. Yep. That's probably too much. In all of your... In all of my free time. So once a year, once a year and I went to a random profile. I check out a random profile. And then I feel guilty because there's profiles in my watch list that I can work on too. But it's just, I don't know. It's fun when it's random. Yeah. I agree. It is. I like to do that too. Yeah. So I'm just gonna do one more random profile. Okay. So I'm gonna go back and on my great grandfather's profile I'm gonna select the printer friendly bio option which is now available with the browser extension. And what it does is it just gives you the page with the biography statements and sources instead of the normal way that you would go and print the page which gives you the web page, the whole web page. This option gives you just the printer friendly version of that biography with the sources and everything there. So that's printer friendly bio. How do you get to that if you don't have it in your my menu? Yeah. So let's go back up here. I think it's on, yeah, here it is. So on the profile ID menu option is where you'll find it. So of course this, these menu options are specific to this whatever profile you're on and there it is. Cool. Okay. Another thing that is available on the my menu is the draft list. See, oh no, it's not on my menu. It's just back here. So on, sorry. Well, you're doing that. Kathy asked, has anyone gotten one of their profiles while using the random button? And it happened to me once actually the other day when we were kind of going through a run through of this I clicked on it and I got one of my profiles and it was really confusing for a minute. You're like, what? What happened? That's not random. And the draft list is on your find menu. Yeah. And I have to have a couple of drafts in order for us to see anything there. So let me save a couple of drafts here. Okay. Drafts on the find menu. Here you go. Everybody can see that? And it's showing no drafts. I guess it's like, I closed out of those. I was thinking if I had them open, let's see. I thought it would show them anyway, if you... Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Maybe because you didn't change anything. Did you just save a draft but not change anything? Let's see. There we go. There we go. That did it. Okay. So find and then drafts. Nope. Let me refresh my page here. Maybe it takes, you know how it has 30 minutes? Yeah. Maybe it's after the 30 minutes, it pops up in the drafts. Okay. So we'll come back to that one. Just gonna put another one in there just so it'll have two. There's two drafts saving. Okay. Oh, so the extra watch list, when you're on, let me open up a random profile real quick here. Random profile, do, do, do. Okay. So say you want to keep track of changes made to this profile.  So at the top here is the plus side. If you click on that, it adds it to your watch list. So now if I go to this button that's right next to it, it'll show me a list of profiles that are on my extra watch list. And you can export this file. And what that does is it shows up as a text file. And it's just a comma separated values file here. Let me, oh, it's not wanting to come over here. Oh, I know why it's doing that. Okay. There we go. So this is what it looks like when you get the output from exporting your watch list. So if you wanted to import something into your watch list, all you'd have to do is create this comma separated values text file of the wiki tree IDs. And that would add it to your watch list. Yeah, a lot of people are looking at that as the solution to the more than 5,000 profiles on the watch list. Yeah. Or when there's profiles that you don't necessarily want to be on the PM or trusted list because you have a big watch list, this is a good turnaround. It's a way to follow stuff without getting all of the notifications for everything that happens on those profiles. That too? Yeah. Yeah, that too. So the next thing we wanted to share was the, at the bottom of the page, there it is, the Google search box. So instead of having to go to the top and go find search, you can just wherever you're at on wiki tree, you can go in just to the bottom of the page and type in whatever you'd like to search categories, images, help pages or all wiki tree pages. So just kind of give you an idea. Do you know how many profiles you can have on that? On the extra watch list? Uh-huh. Let's see, is there a limit? It doesn't say. They don't say on the help page. Let's see. Yeah, Ian doesn't specify if there's a limit. One thing to note though is if you clear your cache, like your cookies, et cetera, you might lose your extra watch list. So he suggests that you export it before you clear the cache and then if you do happen to lose it, you can just import it right back in. Yeah. So let's check those drafts. There they are. There's my drafts. Yay. Yay. It does work. So I'm just gonna save those. Let's just look a couple, a few minutes for that to show up there then. Yeah. Okay, so the next thing I just wanna show, so you're on a profile and now we have, I don't know if anybody else noticed, I really appreciate is that the inline citation, little number is kind of a superscript and it's smaller. So it's kind of nice. It's not so big at the end there. I really like that. And then if you hover over it and you have this enabled on the WikiTree browser extension, it will give you what's called a source preview, a preview of that source citation. So it's really nice. Yeah, then you don't have to scroll down. Yeah, you can just, oh, just hover. Yep. It's really nice. Okay. Oh, another thing that's kind of similar is the space page preview. So let's go over to, just kind of give you an idea of what that looks like. I'm just gonna go to my navigation homepage where I have a bunch of links to stuff. And one place I go a lot is the social media page. And so if you hover over it, it gives you a preview of that page. And then also when you are on a page, another space page, you can say, I wanna see what other pages on WikiTree links to this page. And this will give you what's linking to this page. So you can do like the same thing for any of the pages. You can just go there and it'll show you everything that's. Where can you do that if it's not in your my menu? I don't know. And where do I go? I think you have to add it to the, do you have to add it to the, let's see. Under the find menus, supposedly. Okay, let me go to. Oh yeah, it is. It's under the find menu. Okay. What links here? That makes sense. Find out what links here. That does come in handy sometimes, especially, you know, like I had some formatting I needed to clean up with one of the source space pages that I put together a while back. Yeah. And using that, what links here allowed me to find all the profiles where I had used that. So I could just pop into each one and do a little cleanup and be done with it. Yeah. Okay. So that covered everything on the page. And now we have this for the global features. It's amazing what they're doing for us. I love this stuff. I know it's perfect. You guys that are watching, do you have a favorite feature of the browser extension that you use? Do you have questions that we can answer? We have a little bit of time. If you wanna throw some questions in the chat, could tell us how great we are. That's okay too. Do you guys have one, a feature that you really like the best or a lot? Looks like Sandy and Kathy are talking about the source, let's see, collapsible sources. So you can hide the sources or you can turn this feature on or off, whichever you prefer. I think that's like the only one I have turned off. Yeah, I don't like that one. We actually had an issue with, I think it was in the Rangers the other day where someone thought that a member was not adding sources to their pre-1700 profiles, but it turned out that they had that slider turned on in their browser and so they couldn't see them very easily. But they figured it out quickly. So they didn't, it was just like a momentary little. Yeah. Oops. Yeah. So the space page has all the information and then if you have the browser extension pinned to your browser, this is where you can go and through and turn stuff on or turn stuff off, see what the options are. Tommy said the table button on the connection finder page is his favorite. Yeah. Connection finder. Except on, I guess I maybe haven't looked at that yet. The connections page or the connection finder. Maybe I don't have that turned on because I'm not seeing it. Table button on the connection finder. Do you have to? Is it? Does he mean? Is it the DNA connections table? Or the my connections? There's a... I have everything enabled except the dark mode, I think. I wonder if he means on my connections where you can click the table to see the list of... Oh, here we go. My connections adds button to the my connections page to create tables of people in each degree. Oh, my connect, yeah. This is what he's talking about, right? I think so. So you just go from your CC7 number on your profile to get there and then... Yeah. There's the degree count and total table. I was looking away that I was trying to find it. Oh, sure. Okay, so... You just got a few seconds. Connection. They're my links trade? Yeah. Missing connections table. Oh, Sandy really likes the clipboard feature. I do too. I have to pop that up there because I use that a lot too. It comes in handy if you're doing a lot of repetitive. And pasting.  And then there's notes where you can keep notes up here too. I still haven't used the notes for anything. I would love to hear what other people are using that for because I haven't really found a use for it for myself yet. Yeah, I don't really use it at the moment. Oh, Patty, I love that too, where you go to a profile and it automatically shows you the degrees where you're from that person or your relationship. Yeah, that's nice. Very nice. That's super handy. I'm finding that I'm related to like... Since I work with a lot of new members stuff, I'll go to look at a new members profile and if they put their, you know, a newer member, not brand new, but if they've already got their tree or they've connected in, I can see that I'm already connected to them. Yeah, that's a lot of fun. And another thing that I like too is that it's assorted this by degrees, you know, the weekly connections focus. Yeah, I like that part too. Very cool stuff. Very clever people. Yeah, we were talking about... Oh, looks like Sandy is using notes for the sample text for cemetery photos. Oh, yeah, that's a good idea. Now see, I would probably put that in the clipboard. And Kathy, you can have multiple items in the clip clippings. You can write, is that what she's... Excellent, excellent suggestion, Sandy. Export the clipboard. Yes, very good. Yes, go to the other one. Yeah, there is feedback on a G2G post that you can go to. I think it's linked on the space page, right? Under communication. Yeah, should be. Yeah, they don't have suggestions. They don't have suggestions directly, hang on. They do, they definitely do. Oh, yeah, it's under testing and feedback actually. So if you go to the testing and feedback G2G post that's linked in the wiki tree browser extension page, you can ask for suggestions there. Or you could probably just use the wiki tree apps tag on a post too, if you wanted to do that. WT underscore apps. So we were talking about what everybody would like to see for the next tours. Yeah, we talked about doing like about connections, like the relationship finder, connection finder, CC7s, that connections page we were just looking at. We talked about that. We could do another segment on other parts of the wiki tree browser extension. We could do another thing we had on list was challenges. We could talk about all the different wiki tree challenges and types and how you can get involved and let us know what you guys, what do you guys want to know? Cause that's what we want to tell you about. We're here for you. Oh yeah, Kathy said, she has her greeter messages in her clipboard. So she had a separate chat. Oh, I wonder if that, I wonder if you could separate those out by putting those in your notes thing instead of in your clipboard because you can copy you can copy from the notes, right? Yeah. Manually. Other parts of the browser extension. Sandy, the last one of these we did, we did add in the new way to add a profile. So. That was in February. Oh, watch that one. Yeah. We thought about doing the other parts of the browser extension in April. And we also tossed around the idea of doing the CC7 connection finder in my connections in April. So, you know, we would love to get feedback on what you all would like to see. Since we're, the challenge, the connectathon in April is the 21st through the, so it might be kind of fun to do connection finder and. All the good connection related things. Yeah. So the next WikiTree tours would be scheduled for April 17th. So it'd be right before the connectathon. So it might be kind of fun to see. Right. And then we can do more browser extensions in May. I think that's a splendid idea, ladies. It's fun. It would be fun to see, you know, really focus on showing people about their CC7 and trying to take a snapshot of what that is before the connectathon. And then here's where it is afterwards. Yeah. Is that, I wonder if everybody's gonna be focusing on their CC7 again, this connectathon, or if they're, everybody's gonna be working on different projects. It's always fun to see what people will be focusing on. I don't know. It's pretty, I need to decide. I'm sure if we started talking about the connection finder, et cetera, for the connectathon, we would run into some questions about the connectathon while we're going. So we would get a little quick rundown of how that works at the same time. Yeah. That sounds good. There's another good suggestion, the Sorcer extension. Well, I'll add it to our list, Kathy. We have a plan at some point to cover some of the more popular apps that are available. Yep, yep. And I've had people talk about requesting kind of like a walkthrough for Discord. So I don't know if we'll wanna cover that on the WikiTree tours or what do you guys think about that?  Yeah, that's a good idea. The Discord party was fun. It was, hopefully we'll have more of those. I hope to increase my CC7. That's a good goal. I need to add, I have a lot of biological family, I still need to add. So I'm leaning towards working on that. I see a number of people that are just watching. Do you guys have anything to add to the comments? Any suggestions for going forward? Any questions on what we've covered today? Any great ideas on how you've used some of the features of the browser extension? Or additions you'd like to see to it? Do you guys have anything that you would like to see on it too? Do I? You or others? I would like it to just automatically go out and clean up all the profiles on my watch page. Add sources to all the research. I'm kidding. That would take all the fun away, wouldn't it? That would answer all my emails. Can it do that? Now that one I could get on board with. Yeah. I think it would be cool if the preview for the space pages had a link up here at the top so that you could, I mean, you're already, you have it here, but it'd be nice if the top part of the page showed too. Yeah, like the profile previews do. Oh yeah. Now there's a question for Melanie. She wants to explain how to use random profiles. So I can say what I would use it for. I just, if I sit down at my computer and I've got some extra time and I just wanna work on something else, just pop into a random profile and maybe clean up the JEDCOM stuff or see if I can add sources or clean up the formatting or something. That's how I use it. How much you guys? Yeah, pretty much the same. And the 15 for 15, one of the things is the random profile improvement. So you can use that for, you know, for doing that. Yeah. Or marking that off your list on your 15 for 15. So Melanie, I don't, I hope that's what you were asking in your question. You said how to use them. So it's on the find menu if you've got the extension installed. So you would just go to your, to wiki tree to the find menu and then click on random profile. Right here. And voila. And voila. And you Ferguson from Cockermouth, England. And I just found one that I just did that and I pulled up a profile from 2011 that has no dates and no locations. Well, there you go.  I'll just have to work on that. Okay. So I just did it and I got this guy Francis Everett Hood who apparently went by Butch. And there's not really much in his profile but it's got like his spouse, his kid and it's got a couple of really cool pictures. Awesome. It's got his two dogs in their puppies. Oh. Yay. That's the profile I had. You know how we all like dogs. It's good. It's dogs and pie. Hood 3347. Oh, that's awesome. That's awesome. That's a great picture. Look at that. You can hold puppies in the tire. That's adorable. So cute. Now I'm like, well, who's Francis then? Like, who's this guy? Who is this guy? Oh, he's from Illinois. Let's see, I don't even know where Culturegole is. We can just do random profile videos where we just pick one and get totally distracted. Oh, that's a wrap up. I bet we could get some good collaboration going on here. Everybody be out there researching. It's true. So where is Cultureville in relation to, I don't know, Chicago? Oh, let me go look. Cause now I'm curious. Maybe I'm related to the guy. It's in Randolph County. Cultureville. Here it is. Here's St. Louis. Oh, it's down south. South, south, south, way south of him. Yeah. Probably not related to my branch of the Illinois family then. What's the profile ID again? Hood 3347. He's got a bunch of sources out there on family search and if he wants to go. I am connected to him. I'm 26 degrees from him. So he's not in my family yet. I see it's only, only his parents have been added. He's got five kids. And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven siblings according to five degrees. There's a big- Do you all notice that the school has now opened up and we have dove, we dove right in? We're right there. Wait, Tommy said he likes the sortable columns in table view on a surname page. Yes, I do too. That's not from the extension though. Is it, is there something you're thinking of from the extension that I wasn't? Cause I love that too. I use it a lot. Who is the farmer? I know you all want to know this. The table view is there already, I think. Yeah, the sort. It would be nice to be able to sort by manager, but we can't do that. I don't know why, but we can't. Maybe because there's often more than one manager on a profile. Oh yeah, that could be. Oh, Brian, talking about when are we gonna get, getting a spot on WikiTree to add pets? So for my pet, this is what I did. So we had a scan up on a couple of years ago, and I just made album pages for my Robinson Peezley family space page that I have out there. I made albums. And one of the album pages is for our dog Tiger. So that's an option that you can do is just have a space page. So this is my mom and Tiger. I have one for one of our dogs. Yeah. Just a fun way to share about the family pet. Yeah, that's what free spaces pages are great for. He jumped through the hoop, but he was. I know a lot of, I've seen him. Had him trained. He's a cutie. So Tommy, you were talking about the table sorting. I think that that's not part of the WikiTree browser extension that I can see. I think it might be another extension. At least I couldn't find it. I know one of our DNA gurus on WikiTree, Peter Roberts, he created a free space page for his dog and because he did DNA on his dog. Oh really? And so he has all that information. Yeah, he has all that info out there on the free space page for his dog. Molly's being antisocial. What's that? Are you trying to get Molly? My two are sleeping. It's nap time here. Hi, Molly. Hello, Jordy. She can't hear me, can she? She never will look at the screen. She does the same thing when I try and take her picture. It's like, I don't know how she's... Yeah, that's a Susie does too. This looks away. I think it's a girl dog thing because my female dog, Casey, will not look at the camera, will not do anything like that either, but Joey will. He poses, yes? A ham. Me? No, Joey. No, I know, I meant that. That's him going.  That's cute. All Yorkie, all Yorkie all the time. I did DNA on mine too, and they both came back as, yeah, lots of breeds on my dogs. Oh really? What? Yeah. They have some primaries, and our 40 pound Joey has a big chunk of Chihuahua in there. So surprising. That was very surprising. Hi, Kristen. Kristen's here from Portugal. We do have a Portugal project actually, if I recall. We do. Find menu, huh? Yeah, go ahead. Find menu and click projects. You can do a search on that page or just scroll down on the table of contents and you'll find the Portugal project. Oh, there. And then you'll find a link on there to go to the G2G post where you can express interest about joining a project. I'm sure they probably also have a bunch of resources and stuff on their project page that might be helpful to you. Yeah. You can also post to the G2G forum if you have a specific question and use the tagged Portugal. Right. And they've gone do a lingual on that page. So that's Andy. All right, we'll have to earn more questions. I think we'll wrap it up and do this again in April. Alrighty. Sounds good to me. My tummy's rumbling. Time to go eat. Someone else in it because I can't reach it right now because of Molly. I could do it. All right, everybody, thanks for stopping by and we'll see you in about a month. Bye.


Every day is Thanksgiving in India. I'll explain more about that here on Global Connections with our esteemed guest, Madhi Khandekar, who joins us from New York, where she is an Indian person associated with the United Nations. Madhi, welcome to the show. Aloha, Jay. And always a pleasure and honor to join you, especially in this Thanksgiving and when the festivities are beginning. So, joyful time to join. So. Oh, the same here. Sometimes we assume American holidays are celebrated around the world. That's kind of myopic, because it's not true. In some countries, however, there is a trend towards celebrating Western holidays and American holidays. Thanksgiving in some countries, but it's not commonly celebrated in India. It's observed, however, in the state of Goa, and we're gonna show you where that is under a different name, popularly known as Ladinah, or Ladin. Ladin literally means litany to the Virgin Mary, which reveals the Christian origin of the holiday in Goa. So let's talk about Goa. Let's talk about the rest of India, because India in a word is so super diverse. It's diverse in holidays. It's diverse in customs and cultures and languages, the whole thing. And so you can speak to that, Marri, I know you can. Tell us about Thanksgiving in India. Yes, Jay. Of course, of course, India is like a celebration. It's synonymous with celebration and the diversity that so many cultures, so many religions. It's a melting pot, exactly like America. It's a mirror image of America. And being a democracy, there is a freedom of religion, freedom of expression. So you're free to practice what you feel like. And the Thanksgiving, when we look at it in the American perspective, it was celebrated as a harvest festival. They celebrated a corn harvest in 1621, a difficult corn harvest. So we have similar festivals, like we have a baisakhi in Punjab, and Holi, and Oman. Let's see where Punjab is. Punjab, in the north of India. Okay, we have a map. That means they celebrate springtime, they celebrate the harvest, they have swings, they have colorful clothes, dance, music, food. Exactly the same way that we begin festivals in America. So you have baisakhi in Punjab, you have Onam in the south of India, you have Holi in Maharashtra, Gujarat. So these festivals are basically, Jay, celebrating your harvest. So if you look in the terms of... 1621, I thought you said 1621. Yes, 1621. First, when the pilgrims came to climb up. Yeah, I think 1610 or 1621. Yeah, okay, now 1621, before the English ever came to India, right? Yeah, yeah. It was only the Indians. Yeah. The red Indians over there and the Indians over here. So now this is the one in Punjab? Yes, Punjab is baisakhi. So Jay, because we are countries which depend on the weather and the harvest, we celebrate it because you are tanking nature for giving abundance of harvest. And that is exactly the spirit of Thanksgiving where you express gratitude for the family, for the friends and for the belongings and what you get from towards yourself. So that basic tenet of Thanksgiving is celebrated all the time everywhere in India. And if you see the number of festivals that India has, it's humongous because out of 365 days, we have I think around 300 days where we have something which is celebrated in a day. So spring, sun, moon, stars, you name it, we have it. And everything revolves around a meal. Like how in Thanksgiving, the turkey becomes the center. In India, in different festivals, you have milk sometimes is the center. You have puran poli, which is a sweet flatbread, which is the center of the table. And everywhere, like in Thanksgiving in America, a home cooked meal is what satisfies the palette of the people and family is given importance. So these locus, focus of the festivals is the same in both the countries. And now coming to the very concept of Thanksgiving because America has the biggest Indian diaspora. You have cousins in America who celebrate Thanksgiving. So why not, we should also celebrate it in India. So that's the kind of give and take that happens because Halloween is picking up in a big way in India. Oh, really? Yeah. And outsourcing, you have the call centers, which are in India. So they work according to the American timetable. So you have Thanksgiving, you have Halloween holidays. So this kind of culture, which you absorb and take into your own net is the kind of character that India has. So we are having Thanksgiving celebrated in luxury hotels. You have Thanksgiving banquets. Maybe Turkey is not cooked at home, but you will have a seven-star luxury hotel celebrating a traditional Turkey and you'll have many people take us for that. So it's an act of expressing all that exactly the way it's celebrated in America in India. So they're making an effort to absorb it. And you never know, Jay. You can have Indian cousins put into Thanksgiving in a couple of, in a few years. So that's going to happen, adaptation. Well, what about the adaptation? So you have people from India in the US to large immigrant group. And in fact, I wouldn't even call them immigrants anymore. They're as American as anyone else in a second, third generation. So do they carry with them the notion of Thanksgiving in India when they celebrate Thanksgiving in the US? Yes, they do. You see, when Thanksgiving is like the beginning of the holidays, isn't it? Travel comes into action. You have a family which comes together and you have gratitude which is expressed. So this kind of things, when you have distant family also living in India, you will call up. You will see other people thanking their family. You have distant family in India.  So like we go back to the concept of being a global village, Jay. So we are all together in this and a community family becomes very important in these holidays. So even if you're alone, you kind of celebrate with the community. So that kind of togetherness that these holidays bring is far important than the manner in which we celebrate. So that way. A couple of things I want to ask you about. In my very brief reading on this, I concluded that whatever you call it in India, it is Thanksgiving is ubiquitous. In other words, all the holidays we can think of, all the ones you were naming is thanking the heavens and the stars and the deity, whatever, for something, right? So Thanksgiving, and what I said in the title to the episode was in India, Thanksgiving is all year round because all of these holidays could be at any time. They don't necessarily have to be at the end of November. There could be any time, but there's a common denominator between all these holidays we talked about that you mentioned, it's thanks for something, right? Correct, correct. Point on Jay, point on, absolutely point. So the other thing you mentioned, I want to pursue a little bit is family because in this country, my observation over the past few years, I'm getting very observant of such things. Family has deteriorated and the nuclear families on this big, it goes in every direction you could think of and they may or may not make that call on Thanksgiving. They may or may not see each other from month to month and year to year. Our filmmaking and our art seems to suggest that a lot of families are broken in this country. I mean, it makes for a good movie, but it's a sad story. And I wonder, my guess is that in India, families are really tight. You would be tight with your parents and your grandparents, you'd be tight with your kids and your siblings and your uncles and aunts. It's an Asian thing, but it's universal too. But I wonder if you could talk about the notion and the practice of family in India and especially at the time of a holiday. CJ, in India, the family, we are a very populated country. Asia itself is very populated. You all live together. So the distance between you and your parents, you and your family is not as distant as it might be over here. And so many traditions depend on generation to generation. It is first generation carrying the third generation, first generation giving to your own children. So this kind of intertwining of the religious festivities makes it a point that you call upon, you have a lot of call upon your family. So you have a lot of festivals which celebrate the bond between a brother and a sister. So you need to go and physically be there with your sister or your brother and tie a thread of protection around them. So that kind of thing that which makes you want to, makes you, directs you to go and meet that person. These bonds, even though you are a nuclear family, even though you stay apart, you will tend to come together for these moments and that when you have so many festivals in a year, you tend to meet each other on a more or less a daily basis. So 306 days are festivals, J, out of 365. So you have weekends coming in and one more thing is that in India, you tend to celebrate other religious festivals also. There is not, there is no restriction that you have to be celebrating only Hindu festivals or only Muslim festivals or only Sikh festivals. You can just intermingle and even if your friend is of another religion, you can go and join in the festivities. So it's kind of a whoever wants to join in, come on, let's go kind of a situation in India. So family unit, if friends are being picked up so intimately, imagine the kind of attraction that family has to have during festivals.  This all is a very entangled process. And in America, we see that there is a distance because of the mobility for employment, the income, what is that? Seeking opportunities that we go for, that causes the distance. And in India, you have family businesses which are run from father to son too. So the son kind of stays if he is in the same business as the father or if he is staying in the same house that his father owns. But if he's going for income seeking opportunity, he will have to go to another place. So it's one step away from America like that. So that's the situation.  Your community becomes your family. So that is important. Is that important in India? Very much, very much. I had spoken to you about this. You remember the langars that there is a Punjabi community which organizes langars.  They will not distance. That is why community plays a big role. If there's earthquake, you have the rastra seva sum coming in. You have, that's the RSS. That's the ruling BJP-led social organization.  The Maharashtras, the NCC. There are so many organizations which play the role of community-building, Jay. So and festivals were taken to be a community-building exercise by Lokmanya Tilak in the independence movement. He said, celebrated, come together, unite as a community so that we develop the feeling of unity and togetherness to fight against colonization. Of course. So he celebrate the Ganpati festival, which is celebrated with great enthusiasm in Maharashtra. So Ganpati festival is extravagant, Jay.   How long is it last, Mahadev? 10 days, 10 days. 10 days of it's a disco, like being on the streets in Maharashtra. Even Diwali is 10 days. So I know you, we've talked about this before. You come from Pune, which is in that particular state. What's life like in Pune? What is special about Pune and how does Thanksgiving figure in Pune? Pune is amazing, it's my hat. And it's a pension, I don't know, it's a pensioner's town, they used to call it, but the British headquarters. But it's got a taste of the Maharashtra culture, which you see. You have the Ganpati festival, which is celebrated. It's a world-class celebration, Jay.  There is so much noise and so much of dance and so much of devotion, which goes through the elephant god for 10 whole days. I mean, nobody sleeps for 10 whole days. This is a good place to go as a tourist then. You may want to travel to Pune and be a tourist and participate in 10 days of revelry. And what a good time is that, yeah. Yeah, revelry. I mean, it's not one parade, it's not one day, it's 10 days of madness, Jay. And I mean, every city in India has got one thing which is something like this, like Dasera in Diwali is celebrated with grandeur in the city of Mysore, South India. They have, and all these festivals, Jay, it's thanksgiving or it's expressing gratitude to the gods for giving us whatever we have. So every festival carries the theme of thanksgiving. So a traditional thanksgiving in every Indian festival is what you've been talking about. So that's what runs through all these festivals. So one of the common denominators would be there, it's every festival gives thanks. Another common denominator, I'm guessing here, you have to tell me if I'm right. Now, as you're talking about food, you're talking about candles, wine, talking about flowers, talking about decoration and talking about a big meal of some kind. So talk to us about the accoutrements that you find throughout India on these various festivals, these thanksgiving type of festivals. What's the food like? What are the things that you celebrate with? Yes, Jay, so food always is the central part of every celebration and of every festival and home cooked meals, one of the key ingredients of these festivals. So basically, firstly first, it is the harvest that happens close to the festival. So you have corn flatbread and spinach which is grown in the Punjab festival like I told you by Saki in Maharashtra, Gujarat. It is the fresh vegetables that is made into vegetable curry and flatbread and rice. You have these things which come on the palate from the fields. So when you see this and when you feel that there has been a good harvest, you kind of tend to unknowingly express the gratitude towards that food and when your family surrounds your table, you feel that it is complete, isn't it? So you have delicacies and a lot of sweets are prepared in Indian festivals too. You have a variety of sweets which are pure sugar and they are prepared in the most traditional way. You have coconuts, all the fresh ingredients that come in, coconut, you have jaggery which is a good substitute for sugar which is used a lot in Indian sweets. You have a lot of, what is that, jellies that you like. So it's a wide range of sweets that come in and there's a tradition in India that you always keep them out sweet so that sweet things happen to you. So that's what gives the importance of sweets and a large portion of India is vegetarian. So the non-veg turkey is a little bit of a restricted, it's not on the palate, mostly you go for a vegetarian palate in the festivals but the non-veg palate is of course, for sections of the cosmopolitan crop but mainly it's vegetarian and food and that thing. What about the traditional American table? Is there turkey, is there sweet potatoes? Is there cranberry sauce? I don't know, a few other things I'm sure we'll all find out in the American Thanksgiving but do you see those foods in India? That's what I'm telling you Turkey because of the commercialization of Thanksgiving you have the luxury chain of hotels celebrating with the traditional turkey. You will have, we have buffets in India. You know the buffet system, you have an entire dinner or lunch setup, a brunch setup and during Thanksgiving, particularly during Thanksgiving, they keep place a big turkey which you can go and have. So this, like the same way, see Valentine's Day is not traditional in India or New Year's Eve is not traditional in India but it is caught on such a large scale that just because of the commercialization. So now this is coming in as the next step from Halloween. Halloween started because the kids are enjoying it. The children are enjoying Halloween in India. So if the kids enjoy, the parents enjoy. So they have pumpkins and costumes and all that. They are doing it big time. We do have pumpkins in India, the big ones. They're known as Bhopla in India. When people go out to restaurants for these holidays or stay home, is it both or what happens? See, turkey, usually I don't think it's on the traditional Indian cooking this but going to restaurants is now much convenient, isn't it?  You call your family and you say, let's meet up at this place and let's have a nice dinner and then they can take care of the dishes. So that's why. Division of labor. Exactly, if you can afford it, let's go for it. So I want to ask you about some of the others that I found in my reading. So there's, let's see, there's Onam, there's Baisaki. There's Duvali or Duvali. These are other holidays in various places around the country and those places could be thousands of miles apart. So are they all in the fall? Are they all harvest holidays or are they spread around the year? And are they all, I guess they're all giving thanks for one thing or another but they must differ in some ways because they're so far apart. Can you talk about the differences and how much similarity they bear and how much similarity do they bear to Thanksgiving itself? Right Jay, Duvali, Onam and Baisaki, like you said, are all celebrating festivals but we have two harvest times in India. One is the spring harvest, one is the winter harvest. That's why we have this spread across the year. So and the distance that you talk of it's because one harvest in the northern part is different from the southern part of India. So you have this kind of different timings but the main tenet of the thing or the festival remains the same to celebrate harvest and to celebrate togetherness and family. So, Duvali, like I told you, it's a 10 day festivity which celebrates another God coming from Ayodhya. It's a different story altogether. You express gratitude to the ideal version of man. That's a, I'll explain it to you a little later. But the harvest, purely harvest festivals are the Baisaki, the Onam, the holy spring time. Jay, you will know the Tomatino festival in Spain where they play with tomatoes, la tomatino. So, holy is a festival in India where you play with colors and water. You celebrate spring with colors and water.  But holy is one of the biggest festivals in India of Lord Krishna. You will see that it's, I mean, I tell it for every festival and it's true.  Wonderful. Yeah, well. And the entire country plays with you not one family or one community. The entire country is playing. You'll be walking on the street and somebody can throw a balloon on you and say, it's holy, you can't do anything about it. Just like the cows, the sacred cows. Yes, everywhere, everywhere. And so these things, it sounds like just a thought now and I'm really interested in your thought on this. It sounds like some of these elements of the holidays happen between the holidays. For example, the family aspect and the colors and the gatherings and the festival nature of gathering. The notion of thanking people and being out in the street with a community of people in your city or neighborhood. It sounds to me like this actually defines life in India in many places between the holidays. So you can almost say that India is one great big holiday. Would you say that? I would most definitely, undoubtedly and directly say that India is just one big holiday. You know, Diwali was declared as one, first time it was declared as a public holiday in New York. So it was declared one day. In India it is like 10 days, 15 days holiday for school, 20 days holiday for Christmas. We have Christmas vacations in India which are 20 days vacation day. We have summer vacations for two and a half months. So you just need a small excuse in the way that I have a holiday in India.  And then you know what happens in India. And I wonder, this is a hard question. Are you ready for a hard question with Bonnie? Yes. What can the US learn from India about holidays, about Thanksgiving, about being thankful, about celebrating with family and community? You know, we have so many issues in this country about divisiveness and hostility and hatred and bigotry and what have you. What can we learn from India as expressed through these Indian holidays? See, the United States is as good as home. So that's why you have an Indian diaspora which has settled in and is thriving in the United States. There is not much of a difference between the United States society and the Indian society, correct Jay? So you have a kind of feel at home condition in America. So that's why the Indians have felt more than comfortable to settle in and progress with America. So when we draw in conclusions and lessons from each other, we can say that we both are at the helm of keeping a democracy alive, isn't it? To keep your expression of freedom of expression thriving and you can keep your religious affiliations along with your secular expressions to celebrate every and each festival. So you have commercialization of festivals and you have adaptation of festivals into your traditional framework. And so when you see that each and everything and life itself is a celebration, isn't Jay? You should celebrate each and every moment in life and that's the way how you gather moments and make a life out of it. And if there are celebrations in between, all the more better. So you have to have this lovely accompaniments of family or food or tradition of love of community. And that's how we can make it a wonderful life and life is really beautiful and ups and downs in life are common place, isn't it? Who doesn't have thorns in the life? So that's part and parcel. But to celebrate the good moments is far better than crying over a spilt milk on the drawbacks of life, isn't it? Yes, oh yes. So all this makes me remember that it was only six months ago so that you were back in India and here we are at Thanksgiving time and you're here in the United States. Did you consider going back again? Did you consider having the celebrations at this time of year in India instead of the US? I can join in any time and join any festivity or it's a constant party over there. So it's absolutely okay. But I'm very, very grateful to the life that we have here in the US. I'm grateful for your friendship for the association that I have with Think Tech Hawaii and it's always a lovely thing to express this emotion because we are bound together by connection and lots of love, Jay. So it's lovely to be, I don't miss. It's a home at every point. Yes, oh yes. And at the same time, I'm sorry to say that I have actually never met you in person after all these years. Yes, we will be with you. So if there's a rumor that you're coming out to Hawaii for Thanksgiving this week, is that true? I will go. Most definitely I will go. And definitely. Okay, well, Udmati, I want to wish you a happy Thanksgiving. I really appreciate your thoughts on this and the cultural points you raise and what I call it the international vision that you have in terms of bringing people together. And yes, we can learn from India. We can learn from family and celebration and holiday. Thank you very much for coming on our show. Thank you so much, Jay. And I'm really grateful for our friendship. Thank you so, so very much. We'll meet again soon. We'll think of something else to cover. Thank you so much. Happy Thanksgiving, Udmati. For you too, Jay. Happy Thanksgiving. And enjoy the holidays.

Hello and welcome to the Groundline Review, your source for everything on peace and more specifically, Saga's In Minutes, the series that aims to equip you with the basic knowledge to leap into the wilderness of One Piece. And today, we'll be delving into one of the most mysterious areas of the world to take part in the adventure known as the Thriller Bark Saga. Thriller Bark is the fifth Saga in the series consisting of but a single arc spanning 48 chapters and 45 episodes, thus making it the shortest Saga in the entire series thus far. After leaving Water 7, the Straw Hats have their sights set on traveling to Fishman Island. However, in order to get there, they are forced to enter a stretch of sea known as the Florian Triangle, which is categorized by being covered in fog so incredibly thick that sunlight simply cannot penetrate it. As a result, this area of the world is very creepy and mysterious, kind of like the beginning of a horror film. And expectations of this location are fulfilled immediately with the appearance of a ghost ship and more importantly, a talking skeleton named Brooke, who is a self-proclaimed gentleman despite his habit of continuously asking to see women's panties. Now, of course, there is an in-world explanation for this skeleton man being that he consumed a devil fruit that allowed his soul to return to his body after death. However, due to the thick fog of the Florian Triangle, it dare well hit, took him an awfully long time to find his body, by which point it was just bones. Well, bones and an Afra. And in a move that shocks everyone, Luffy immediately invites Brooke to join the Straw Hats, to which Brooke casually agreed. However, there are, of course, complications that need to be solved before this idea can be brought to fruition. These complications being that Brooke's shadow has been stolen and in the One Piece world, if you do not have a shadow, apparently you burst into flames of old school vampire style upon contact with sunlight. Now, Brooke's shadow was stolen by the ever-fiendish Gekko Moria, a warlord of the sea who reigned supreme in the Florian Triangle, aboard the world's largest pirate ship, Thriller Bark. So there are two very important things to know about Gekko Moria. One, he has a distaste for performing any sort of physical activity whatsoever. And number two, he is building an army of zombies to allow him to take down his old rival and now one of the emperors of the sea, Kaido. And beyond that, he is also pursuing the dream of becoming the pirate king. And so the Straw Hats bought Thriller Bark, resulting in a lot of zombie shenanigans and in the process, the shadows of Luffy, Zoro Sanji and Robin are all stolen by Moria. Now, Luffy being worth of whopping 300 million berries these days was deemed a powerful enough shadow to insert into a particularly special corpse and alleged evil giant once named Oz. So with Luffy's shadow and Moria's powers, Oz is reanimated, but with Luffy's personality. But Moria and him in a bit because soon enough the Straw Hats become engaged in a conflict with the mysterious four, a group of individuals, including Moria himself who command the most power on Thriller Bark. In addition to Moria, we have Absalom, the user of the Suke-Suke Noomi, a devil fruit that allows him to turn invisible and his motivations for the large majority of the arc are to forcibly marry Nami. He attempts this many, many, many, many times, one of which is put to a stop by an enraged Sanji, enraged for two reasons, the first of which being his own personal affections for Nami and the other being the fact that consuming the Suke-Suke Noomi had always been a dream of his in order for him to be able to spy on naked ladies. Then we have Dr. Hogback, who was the mind behind fashioning together a legion of corpses for Moria to insert shadows into. Hogback was once well respected by Straw Hat member Tony Tony Chopper. Although this turned into fierce disgust, once Chopper realized what Hogback was using his medical knowledge to achieve. And as for the final member of the mysterious four, we have Perona, a girl with the power of the horror horonymi, which allows her to, amongst other things, conjure ghosts that force people into crippling depression. And unfortunately for her, she is matched up against Usopp, who holds a natural immunity to the ghosts due to the fact that he is already overly negative about life in general. In the meantime, Brooke also embarks on a mission to retrieve his shadow, which has been inserted into the corpse of a powerful legendary samurai named Riemer. Brooke proves unable to defeat the samurai zombie, at which point Zora steps in, eventually overcoming Riemer, which not only returns Brooke's shadow, but also earns Zora a shiny new sword named Shusui. And after the Straw Hats had taken down the primary members within Moria's crew, they are immediately forced into combat with Oz.  However, elsewhere, a band of pirates who had become trapped on thriller bark see some hope in Luffy and insert 100 shadows into him, transforming him into Nightmare Luffy. Nightmare Luffy then goes on to prove exceptionally superior to Moria and Oz in every way. However, Oz would return to combat, requiring the entirety of the Straw Hat crew to work together to put him down for good. At this point, Gekko Moria assumes his final form by absorbing 1,000 shadows. However, the power becomes too overwhelming for him to control and he is defeated by Luffy in one-on-one combat, resulting in all of the shadows being returned to their previous owners. And this is usually where we'd start wrapping up the arc, I guess. However, there is a plot twist afoot here. But as it turns out, Gekko Moria was not the only warlord of the sea present on thriller bark and Bartholomew Kuma emerges, easily defeating all of the heavily fatigued combatants remaining, all but Zoro, that is, who offers his own life in exchange for that of his captains. Kuma then agrees to the deal and uses his devil fruit abilities to remove all of the pain and fatigue from Luffy, passing it on to Zoro. However, phenomenally, Zoro survives this encounter and at which point Kuma promptly leaves the island and when questioned what had occurred while everyone else was unconscious, Zoro simply claimed that nothing happened. Having defeated the big bad, a party then occurs at which point we are treated to the tragic backstory of Brooke, who has a connection to the whale lagoon whom the straw hats had met upon entering the ground line. And as it turns out, it is his dream to return to reverse mountain and deliver the last song of his long past on pirate crew to the now adult whale who once followed them at sea. And in order to one day achieve this, Brooke officially joins the straw hats and they leave thriller bark. But not before the narrator ominously points out that while thriller bark had been anchored in the Florian Triangle for 10 years, the mystery surrounding the waters began long before that and we get a glimpse of a certain creature in the fog that completely dwarfs the largest pirate ship in the world and thus bring an end to the thriller bark saga. Next time on sagas in minutes, it's a big one because we are going to be bringing the entire first half of the series to a climax with the world-shaking events of the paramount war saga.

Shadowkeep is a little over a month away, at the moment I'm playing Destiny, just prepping for this DLC. I know very well going into DLCs without said materials and so forth can leave you trailing, so I've decided to bring you guys a video on the prep I am doing to give you guys an insight into how you can prep yourselves also. How's it going guys? My name's DPJ and I'd like to thank you for stopping by and checking out my video.  So my first prep is to farm for or keep certain pieces of gear armor to be precise due to the certain limitations we will have when the armor 2.0 system comes into effect as because we know our current armor loadouts will be usable all of our armors will be viable and muds will be effective. Now I farmed for certain roles I can use in sync with certain 2.0 armors and we'll get into that in a second. But for those of you who don't understand when the armor 2.0 comes into effect with Shadowkeep armor with its perks on how they drop now will more or less be nonexistent you won't be able to get them because the armor 2.0 system changes a whole host of things changes alike certain muds will be tied to energy elements that armors drop with. So all the energy armor pieces besides the 11 mud you can see on the screen now that are not tied to any certain energy element armor will drop with but individual weapon muds like auto rifle scavenger hand cannon unflinching muds and so forth will be tied to certain elements. So with solar fusion rifles linear fusions auto rifles SMGs and rocket launchers these are tied to solar armors hand cannons scouts sidearms grenade launchers and sniper rifles are tied to void energy armors shotguns bowls LMGs and pulse rifles are tied to arc energy armors and even more change is the fact that we are now seeing perks are even more strictly tied to certain pieces of armor like reloader perks are tied to gauntlets and scavenger perks are tied to leg armors. To be a little more precise on this weapon target in muds and ammo finders are tied to helmets ammo finders being a whole new mud reloader perks are tied to gauntlets weapon reserve mods and weapon unflinching mods are tied to chess pieces scavenger mods and dexterity mods are tied to leg armors class items it seems won't offer any of the perks we can see on class items in game now for instance at the moment we can get scavenger perks on our class items and gauntlets when shadowkeep comes scavenger perks will be locked to leg armors on class items now and also helmets we can see weapon reserve mods when shadowkeep comes these weapon reserve mods will be tied to chess pieces so it's probably wise which is something i am doing and that is grinding for class items which have various different scavenger mods and reserve mods on them so when shadowkeep does a land and i want to use let's say a pulse rifle scavenger mod on my leg armors which would require an arc energy leg piece but i want to use a sniper rifle scavenger mod which is tied to a void leg piece obviously can't use these both at the same time so having a class item with either either a pulse rifle scavenger or sniper rifle scavenger mod would be good to go with this certain loadout now the reason i am mainly concentrating on class items is because of the scavenger perks these seem to be very limited in the sense of more or less everything other than individual weapon mods like reloader mods dexterity mods unflinching mods etc all have substitute mods not tied to a specific energy you can see these on the screen now these mods you can use on any armor 2.0 piece but what's missing here is scavenger there isn't a scavenger mod or a substitute scavenger mod which can be used on any armor 2.0 piece so scavenger mods are tied to individual energies and because luke smith confirmed there will only be 11 of these mods and we have 11 here i doubt we will see a scavenger mod which will work with a variety of weapons so having class items which can help in these particular loadouts is a good thing so to the many posts i am seeing about deleting or your order gear that's ought to be as people don't do that i have many loadouts now dedicated to specific weapon loadouts and these are staying put until they get a whole host of experience with the armor 2.0 system and advise you all to do the exact same and think the same so with what i've just covered and said check your current armor pieces keep what you think will help come shadow keep and don't start dismantling things until you 100% are sure that there will be of no use to you okay so something else which i am doing i'm currently stacking planetary materials the more the better although not necessary as like i've already mentioned the armor 2.0 system when it comes into play all planetary armor drops will be two point armor drops now it isn't important here to go crazy with the material farming for each individual planet but having as many as you can spend isn't a bad thing as even items you have no use for which you will get through planetary materials and opening ingrams on planetary renders when dismantling these they help in other areas of the game i.e gunsmith materials cores and shards obviously necessary and the edz are the easiest places to farm materials due to the afk forge farms if you have no idea of what i'm talking about here people i will link a video within a video description you can check out which explains exactly how you can farm these forges and materials or afk something else i am doing is bounties i'm completing and stacking bounties all i can vanguard crucible gambit hawthorne a1 planetary bounties and so forth as although these with shadow keep might not be needed the match you will get in exchange for these will be sufficient and i'm doing these just at the odd chance that bounties are needed for a certain quest or something as it won't be the first time plus the xp you will get from said bounties which will count towards your bonus power level you can also earn yourself some vanguard and crucible tokens while you are at this and which will be great to have stacked for when shadow keep comes don't forget to use any boons you have to earn at your lecture too another thing i'm trying to stack up on is indeed gunsmith materials as with shadow keep these will be one of the main sources in-game for various items to do with infusing and earning armor and weapon mods with shadow keep the gunsmith will get a whole new host of things to trade for and to trade these things no doubt you will need a certain amount of materials to get gunsmith materials it's just a matter of dismantling things you earn and don't need or already having don't need or by just playing various activities which reward you on needed gear the game is literally full of places to do this in fact almost every place will reward you stuff you don't now need so just play the game delete stuff you don't want and accumulate those materials and do not spend them legend though shards are more or less accumulated the same way by just doing everything nowadays you earn gear which gives you shards when not needed shards again with shadow keep will have a key element in upgrading and infusing armor another major thing we need as many as we can get our hands on our enhancement course there was once a time where these were just stupid hard to accumulate because they were just so little on offer now they ain't too bad and i suggest getting as many as you can before shadow keep comes the gunsmith has daily and weekly bounties which are so easy to do it's crazy can also do these on every character also that becomes a point with your clan when you get to a clan rank four when you achieve that 5000 xp weekly clan ingram you will be rewarded seven additional enhancement cores and this again can be done on every character also if you have any masterworks weapons or armor from year two which you do not need and see no future purpose for dismantle them and land yourself i believe seven cores and guys that's basically what i am doing in prep for the

Well, this is another disease which is said to be the hydro nephrosis. There is a phenomenon that it is concerned with the water or the swelling of the kidney with water. Now, hydro nephrosis is a condition that typically occurs when the kidney swells up due to urine failing to properly drain from the kidney to the bladder. So, this will be an obstruction due to which urine doesn't come down through the ureters. So, here with the result that water that starts accumulating or due to which the kidney that is enlarged in size. So, this swelling most commonly affects only one kidney but both kidneys can also be affected. Now, nephrosis is not a primary disease. So, primary disease is a heraquine infection or blockade of the ureter. That may be in the ureters, that may be in the ureter. So, it is a result of the blockade or obstruction in the ureter. So, hydro nephrosis is said to affect about one in every hundred babies. Now, normally urine flows through the ureter with minimal pressure. The normal water or kidney flow develops from a pressure due to which the urine stream is developed. So, pressure can build up if there is an obstruction. If there is swelling in the urinary tract, infection, inflammation, or even a stone can be stuck there. So, due to which the pressure increases on the kidney's side. And if the drainage system is not properly done, then the kidneys develop so much pressure in the water that they get swollen. So, if this pressure remains build up, and for an extended period of time, the kidneys can be enlarged, and then it will have so much effect on the kidney failure. So, kidney may become so enlarged with the urine that it starts pressing nearby organs. So, the viscera in the side organs can also be affected. If it is left untreated for too long time, this pressure can cause the kidneys to lose function permanently. And this can ultimately lead to kidney failure, which we saw in the first case. So, this is all about this hydro nephrosis.
