Some people say the video moves too fast and is hard to read. Sorry for the inconvenience. I have set all pages as still images so you can watch at your own pace. On a smartphone, tap the center of the screen. On a PC, click the bottom of the video screen and pause it when the [ ▶ ] icon appears. You can then watch it as long as you like. Thank you.
