Depending on your connection speed and/or on the current traffic patterns on the Internet, the larger presentations may take longer to load in your browser. Though it may take a little longer to load this much information, the wait is worth it.
If you continue to experience problems displaying the Slide Gallery or the Transcripts, please contact our technical support department for assistance.

The presentations in this webcast perform best on higher speed connections. From a development standpoint, it is possible to compress the audio tracks and image files further to help improve performance on slower connections. However, in doing so, the quality of the audio would degrade and the finer details in the slides would be lost. This would have a negative impact on the viewing experience.
If you are accessing the site from a slower connection, you could work through the presentations with the following manual method:
- Access and print the transcript for the presentation.
- Click on the Slide Gallery for the presentation. It may take some time to load the thumbnail images of the slides.
- Click on the Expand icon (it looks like a magnifying glass at the bottom of each slide) to enlarge the thumbnail image of the slide you want to view. A new browser window will open and an enlarged view of the slide image will be displayed.
- Read the transcript excerpt while studying the slide.
- When you're ready to move on, click on Next Slide in the expanded image window.
