Hey Chuck - I have just joined; thank you for sharing your write up and the additional resources for us to access. You might want to update your article and remove https://twitter.com/emma_aldington as it looks like she might have closed her twitter account, :S looks like she also deleted all her tweets before she deleted her account “This Tweet was deleted by the Tweet author.”
