Now you can listen to the talk as you look at the slides. The video is in four parts. The PowerPoint slideshow that I used for this presentation is also posted below. Click on the PowerPoint slides to see them clearly (the slides are fuzzy in the video) as you listen to the talk. This presentation was abbreviated more than any previous version of my presentations to fit the venue's limited timeframe.
