So I'm curious to see what unique ingredients Giorgi will be able to bring to the table, literally. Ow. [Speaking Portuguese] One of the most special species in the rainforest. The name is capicoba. That's pretty, huh? For you—that looks like that looks very beautiful on a plate. Oh. Hmm. This is good. It kind of tastes like apple skin mixed with black pepper. Wow. Very specific, he’s very impressed. She looks like a green apple, that's why she remembered the green apple with the black pepper. You know. It's her look.

This is really fantastic. I'm really excited to get this into the kitchen, and I want to start experimenting with it because I'm always fascinated and surprised when I come across something that I've never had before. So this is awesome. Capicoba was a great start. Ooh, look at this. But there was a lot more to discover. Mmm. Very mild. Very mild. It’s not as fatty as a larger coconut. [Speaking Portuguese] Oh, it's like a wood ear. Wood ear mushroom. Mmm. Yum.

Is it a cannibal? Plants? Seriously? We're going to get decapitated by a plant. That's what I heard. Just when I'm getting my groove, we come across a poisonous plant called Criciuma. That's crazy. Oh, my God. It's a mad plant. It's coming after me. Are you serious? Yeah. Don't touch it. Oh, my gosh! You can get hurt. They say this plant can release poisonous toxins that can burn you. I'm not so sure it's true, but I also don't want to find out. Oh, no! What do you think? Do you think you have enough? I like where we’re at. Yep, It's definitely time to head out and start figuring out how to work these ingredients into our menu.

Worked example: estimating e_ using Lagrange error bound | AP Calculus BC | Khan Academy

Estimating e to the 1.45 using a Taylor polynomial about x equal 2, what is the least degree of the polynomial that assures an error smaller than 0.001? In general, if you see a situation like this where we’re talking about approximating a function with …

Flow of energy and matter through ecosystems | High school biology | Khan Academy

Let’s think a little bit about how energy flows and how matter is recycled in an ecosystem. So, the whole time that we go through this video, think about these two ideas. And then, even after watching this video, look at ecosystems around yourself, even o…

More on Newton's third law | Forces and Newton's laws of motion | Physics | Khan Academy

We should talk a little more about Newton’s third law because there are some deep misconceptions that many people have about this law. It seems simple, but it’s not nearly as simple as you might think. So, people often phrase it as, “For every action, th…

Organelles in eukaryotic cells | The cellular basis of life | High school biology | Khan Academy

What we’re going to do in this video is give ourselves a little bit of a tour of eukaryotic cells. The first place to start is just to remind ourselves what it means for a cell to be eukaryotic. It means that the inside of the cell there are membrane-boun…

Estimating limits from tables | Limits and continuity | AP Calculus AB | Khan Academy

The function g is defined over the real numbers. This table gives select values of g. What is a reasonable estimate for the limit as x approaches 5 of g of x? So pause this video, look at this table. It gives us the x values as we approach five from value…

War with China?

You also talked about what you think is a potential war, frankly, either economic war, uh, or physical war between the U.S. and China, either over Taiwan or other things. Where do you think that sits in this calculus of yours? Well, we are, you know, the…
