This is an amazing opportunity, are there any any video recordings for the same, with this slides it's bit disturbing view, if we zoom in we loose the entire table or visual graphs, or if we zoom out a bit, content moves to right side. which is very disturbing, so please share the link if we have recordings of this classes or any you tube video for this courses, that will be very helpful. I checked the YouTube playlist, but there I do not see this updated slide deck.  Thanks so much in advance.
