Experiencing the currents of the coral reef | Never Say Never with Jeff Jenkins

JEFF: I'm a big guy, so I didn't think that a current could actually push my body the way that it is.

The most challenging thing about being in this current is to be at the mercy of Mother Nature and allowing the current to take you wherever it takes you. Except for into the coral; that's no good.

But once I took a breath and focused on moving my body with the current, rather than fighting it, I started feeling more confident in what I was doing. I'm finally able to control myself, and I'm rewarded with an absolutely amazing underwater experience.

And that was the tightest I've ever went through any coral reef. They were just everywhere.

Just gliding through it and seeing the walls on each side of us. I've never seen anything like that before.

There was so much marine life.

This coral was one of the dopest things I've ever seen, but navigating the current was kind of hard. Whoo! And showed me that being in rougher waters with these fast-moving whale sharks is definitely gonna be an intense challenge.

Probably not.

Covalent network solids | Intermolecular forces and properties | AP Chemistry | Khan Academy

So we’ve already talked about multiple types of solids. We’ve talked about ionic solids, that’s formed when you have ions that are attracted to each other, and they form these lattice structures. We have seen metallic solids, and we’ve seen thought about…

Hosain Rahman at Startup School SV 2014

Thank you for coming. I hope to do not much talking at all, and I’m going to just ask you because it’s sort of a strange thing you have this. I want you to sort of go through the chronology of the early days, yeah. Um, and talk about you really did have a…

Properties of buffers | Acids and bases | AP Chemistry | Khan Academy

A buffer solution consists of a significant amount of a weak acid and its conjugate base. Let’s say we have a generic weak acid HA and its conjugate base A⁻. We’re going to use some particulate diagrams to try to understand how buffers work. So for our f…

Physical and chemical changes | Chemical reactions | High school chemistry | Khan Academy

So what we have are three different pictures of substances undergoing some type of change, and what we’re going to focus on in this video is classifying things as either being physical changes or chemical changes. You might have already thought about this…

Implicit differentiation, product and chain rules at once

Let’s say Y is equal to the natural log of x to the X power. What we want to do is we want to find the derivative of Y with respect to X. So I encourage you to pause this video and see if you could do it. So when you first try to tackle this, this is a l…

The World Economic Forum said, and this is a direct quote: “By 2030, you will own nothing and you’ll be happy.” There’s a new breed of poor people out there, some by societal design, some by choice. They don’t look poor on the surface, but they are cursed…
