This column is perhaps a bit different than our normal ones in that although there maybe some imbedded links, there will be no videos at the end as they are included where appropriate; nor will I imbed any graphics as the videos serve that purpose as well.  In order to save you time, I will also recommend the time spots if you wish to forward to those even though I tried to keep them short as a matter of function.  I do this because the whole thing is based on these videos to make some sense of the ideas presented, and is also why I will fall back to my old shtick of defining a few words before we really get started.  So please bear with me as I proceed; I hope you find this is both entertaining as well as informative.
