Well, welcome back, everyone, to what might be my favorite session of all, and that's Q&A, question and answer.

As a professor, I love getting questions, and I love to give answers when I know them.

So if you have any questions about any of the sessions, sessions one through eight, any topic that we covered, or even any related topics.
