[jQuery] automatic pause after slide

[jQuery] automatic pause after slide


I'm very new to Jquery so please forgive, if this is trivial.
I have a webpage with four automatic slideshows on it. I need to pause
the fade in function of the next slide by 20 seconds for each
slideshow.
Also, Jquery shows each img upon loading the page. Is there a way to
prevent MySlides1-3 from being visible until their fade in?
