Videos:
Place your mouse over this icon for the video you wish to see, then click the link. 
A new page will open and the video should begin to play, shortly.
If you open one of the video pages and the player does not appear, return to this page then try the link again (rather than using the reload button on the video page). I have usually been able to play them the second time that I visit the page.
I am researching why the videos sometimes fail to load.
