Note: unfortunately, the built-in recording suffered the "no signal" issue (again).
UBC Media, who operate the built-in recording system, will upload slides images
synchronized to the video manually for the affected times "early" the week of Oct 10-13.
Until they do, you will likely prefer to refer to Dave's backup recording.
