Thanks, L. Now Foundation, for this & other ‘recent’ 5-minute chunks. You may wish to consider superpositional videos of 1-minute short, 5-minute chunk & The Full Talker’s Talk in the ‘historical future’, to allow the ‘reader’ to de-side which video/s are/were best. Best Swishes from ‘Straya (Southern Semisphere).
