Unfortunately the link takes one to the home page of Thutong and not to the resource directly. But using the search engine on Thutong allowed me into the resource without having to register. (this is an important point because I always forget my username and password for these sites).
This is a power point which I find very useful as it allows one use specific slides for use in one's own power points. Plus the slides are editable, so one can alter them.
