As I was working on current events, a funny thing happened. I got diverted into makeing the connections with other periods of history, and in straightening out the kinks in my connections among nations. I have also been connectiing cities to other areas, and working on improving the connections with the major institutions. I set aside the current events and starting working on the connections among historical periods. At a certain point, these started showing enough progress that I could pick up on some of the areas that I had set aside. A little more work, and I begin to see more picking up on older areas. 

For some time, I have been working piecemeal, as one area or another seemed to need work, and I haven't been able to see a complete path from the top down to the little details.  But now enough of the connections are in place that I can say, it's working.

I have been working on getting the analysis of recent events caught up to the present, but at the rate of progress, it seemed likely to take the rest of the year to get caught up.  I decided to skip the analysis and at least get the raw material. The next update should be caught up to the present, meaning no more than a week behind. 

I have also resumed work in connecting periods of history, at a somewhat slower pace than what I was doing last June.  There is more to history than current events, so I am making room for prehistory, antiquity, and classical and medieval history to have reviews of how they have progressed.
