New York now, from my perspective, has sort of gone away from being that financial hub. But at the end of the day, the same amount of business is going on everywhere; it just might have been distributed differently.

You have to sort of be able to duck and pop up somewhere else. It's like those whack-a-mole games you play in the amusement park. Every time you hit one, it pops up somewhere else. Yeah, well, the same thing happens in our industry. When you've got a problem, you’ve got to take care of it. You might go to someplace else or go talk to somebody else.

There's been a lot of changes here in the UK. But the fact of the matter is, they have so many new five-star hotels going up in this city; it's amazing, and one is just better than the other. There are so many private members clubs here now—more than anywhere else in the world—and they're expensive to go to. They're all full, and you can't get in.

It's surprising to see, because you hear about everything wrong going on in the world. The world still has moves, and people still need to have commerce, and people still need...

Worked example: Finding the percent ionization of a weak acid | AP Chemistry | Khan Academy

Let’s say we have a 0.20 molar aqueous solution of acetic acid, and our goal is to calculate the pH and the percent ionization. The Ka value for acetic acid is equal to 1.8 times 10 to the negative fifth at 25 degrees Celsius. First, we need to write out…

Patterns in hundreds chart

So what we have in this chart is all the numbers from 1 to 100 organized in a fairly neat way. It’s a somewhat intuitive way to organize it where each row you have 10. So you go from 1 to 10, then 11 to 20, then 21 to 30, all the way to 100. And what we’…

Naming alkanes with ethyl groups | Organic chemistry | Khan Academy

I think we’re ready now to tackle some more or even more complicated examples. So let’s draw something crazy here. So let’s see, let me draw a chain. Let me draw it like that, and so like we’ve done in all of the examples, you want to find the longest cha…

Series resistors | Circuit analysis | Electrical engineering | Khan Academy

Now that we have our collection of components, our favorite batteries and resistors, we can start to assemble these into some circuits. Here’s a circuit shown here; it has a battery and it has three resistors in a configuration that’s called a series resi…
