It should be noted that these are links (some direct) to informative collective articles that I have saved along the way.  I have not read every single one of these articles - and at this moment I do not 100% embrace any one of them.  These article links have been placed here for personal research purposes - and for anyone that might want to do thier own (topical or broad) research.

If any errors are noted, please let me know and I will make the appropriate corrections.  Thank You.
