\documentclass[aspectratio=169]{rubeamer}
%% Add option "icelandic" to switch sections and labels
%% Add one of these options to change the aspect ratio:
%% 1610 149 54 43 32 which is 16:10 14:9 etc.
%% If you have customizations and packages you use a lot, put them in custom-beamer.sty
%% It will be automatically loaded if it exists
%% I have loaded this with packages and macros I find useful
%%----------- Citations ---------------------------
%% I highly advise using JabRef to manage your .bib files.
%% It can catch a lot of errors early and helps you fill things in.
%% In particular, you probably want to set it to fix line endings to NL only in the preferences.
%%%% Now pick a citation style
%%IEEE citations (just numbers)
%\usepackage[backend=biber, bibencoding=utf8, style=ieee]{biblatex}
%% APA style (author, year) -- need all of these lines
%\usepackage[backend=biber, bibencoding=utf8, style=apa]{biblatex}
%\usepackage[american]{babel}
%\DeclareLanguageMapping{american}{american-apa} % after biblatex and babel
%% Alphabetic (abbrv-year), more compact
\usepackage[backend=biber, bibencoding=utf8, style=alphabetic]{biblatex}
%% Put your reference library files here. Don't forget to put the .bib
%% extension. If you have multiple people with their own libraries (or
%% are using the Zotero plugin) it is a good idea to have multiple
%% files separated according to some agreement. This is the divisions the author uses:
\addbibresource{references.bib}%references specific to this paper
\addbibresource{references-ad.bib}%reference related to Axiomatic Design
\addbibresource{references-foley.bib}%references that the author has participated on. Helpful for writing a CV.
\addbibresource{references-collections.bib}%Due to BibTeX/Biber processing, multi-author books and proceedings must go last if they are used as crossref.
%% ------------------ Graphics ----------------------------%%
\graphicspath{{graphics/}{Graphics/}}
%% This is a list of folders to search for graphics files to include in that order.
%% Each path should be in a {}.
%% Make sure that the upper/lowercase of the letters matches the folder or
%% you may have weird problems with partners using other operating systems.
%% -----------------Titles and Footers ---------------------%%
%% The abbreviated information goes in the [], the full information in {}

\frametitle{Introduction}
How to get help:
\begin{itemize}
\item \url{http://tug.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/beamer/doc/beameruserguide.pdf}
\item \url{http://tex.stackexchange.com} {\it but Caveat Emptor!}\/
\item \url{http://overleaf.com}
\item \url{latex@list.ru.is} for template related questions
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Preparing the Presentation}
\begin{itemize}
\item Give sources for all pictures and cite information sources e.g. \cite{vossebeld2018customer}
\item More pictures, less text.
\item More slides, less time per slide.
\item 45--60 seconds per slide, no more.
\item Tell a story (make sure it flows).
\item Spellcheck!
\item Freeze any changes at least an hour before you present: {\em last minute changes confuse the presenters}\/
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[fragile]%You need the fragile option when you have any sort of verbatim environment
\frametitle{Dealing with graphics}
\begin{itemize}
\item Put them in the \path{graphics/} folder, not where the \url{.tex} is. This will keep your folders from becoming messy.
\item Reduce the image sizes to a maximum of 1920$\times$1080 e.g using ImageMagick (\url{https://imagemagick.org}):
\begin{verbatim}
mogrify -size 1920x1920 *.jpg
\end{verbatim}
will resize all jpg files in that folder to keep their aspect ratios but have no dimension bigger than 1920.
\item Give credit and/or a source if the presenters did not create the graphic or photo.
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Giving the Presentation}
\begin{itemize}
\item Grab the interest of the audience in the first 2 slides
\item Practice until you can do the slides without looking at them.
If you must have notes, put them on cards. Do not read from a page
nor the slides. It looks bad.
\item Scan and look around the audience.
\item Take a breath or drink instead of saying ``um'' and ``herna''.
\item Slow down.
\item Move around: don't just stand at the podium. Having a pointer really helps with this.
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Citations}
\begin{itemize}
\item When in doubt, cite!
\item Anything in your presentation that you did not personally create should be cited
\item Use JabRef to manage your \path{.bib} files.
\item This template uses 4 separate libraries as a demonstration
\begin{itemize}
\item \path{references.bib} References for this particular presentation
\item \path{references-ad.bib} References of a particular subject (Axiomatic Design\cite{suh1990principles,suh2001axiomatic})
\item \path{references-foley.bib} References from the author's CV library
\item \path{references-collections.bib} References for multi-author books, proceedings, and other collections.
They need to be separated so they can be used as ``crossref'' and avoid typing in the information every time.
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}

In this slide, some important text will be
\alert{highlighted} because it's important.

\frametitle{Proof Example: There Is No Largest Prime Number}
\framesubtitle{The proof uses \textit{reductio ad absurdum}.}
\begin{theorem}
There is no largest prime number.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
\begin{enumerate}
\item<1-| alert@1> Suppose $p$ were the largest prime number.
\item<2-> Let $q$ be the product of the first $p$ numbers.
\item<3-> Then $q+1$ is not divisible by any of them.
\item<1-> But $q + 1$ is greater than $1$, thus divisible by some prime
number not in the first $p$ numbers.\qedhere
\end{enumerate}
\end{proof}

%% Here is a demonstration of how to place a graphic somewhere arbitrary on the page
%%\begin{textblock}{width}(X,Y)
%% width defines a "minipage" for text
%% X and Y are measured from the top left of the page in centimeters
%% or whatever base unit was defined
% \begin{textblock}{5}(7,2)
% \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{ru-logo}
% \end{textblock}
%% This is one way to make a graphic in a frame
