You've probably noticed that electrical wires are often wrapped in plastic,
or that electricians use gloves and tools with plastic coatings.
That's because they don't want to get electrocuted, which is smart.
Plastics prevent fatal zaps by blocking the flow of electrons.
They are good insulators.
And for decades, that's all scientists thought plastics could be,
until a mistake in a lab forever changed the future of electronics.
It was 1974, and a Japanese chemist named Hideki Shirakawa was testing new ways of making plastics.
When someone in his lab accidentally added 1,000 times more of one thing to the reaction than normal,
the result was bizarre: a silvery, shiny foil that was a plastic,
but looked a lot like metal.
Shirakawa showed his strange plastic to a fellow chemist named Alan MacDiarmid,
and then they brought in a physicist, Alan Heeger,
and together, they found a way to tweak the metallic-looking plastic so it conducted like a metal, too.
That had never happened before, and the three won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2000
for discovering conductive plastics.
Today, scientists have invented thousands of conductive plastics to do all sorts of things,
like protecting your electronics from static shocks or building cheaper solar panels.
All plastic—from Tupperware to the bristles of your toothbrush—is made of polymers,
which are just long chains of repeating chemical segments.
For instance, Shirakawa's polymer, polyacetylene, is just a chain of carbon atoms.
But what makes polyacetylene special is an alternating pattern of double and single bonds.
Usually bonds hold their electrons in place,
but this pattern lets the double bonds share their electrons.
And this electron-sharing, or conjugation, allows polymer chains move electrons
like a microscopic bucket brigade, passing them along to conduct electricity.
But conjugation on its own isn't enough to transform an insulator into a conductor.
Polyacetylene, after all, didn't conduct electricity very well right away.
That's because it was too packed with electrons.
Imagine being in a bucket brigade where everyone is holding a bucket.
You can't take the bucket from the person beside you, because your hands are already full of the bucket,
and you can't pass your bucket on because that person also already has a bucket.
But if you just take out a few buckets, problem solved.
And that is exactly what the scientists did to the plastic.
They removed some of its electrons.
With a few gaps in the chain, electrons could easily be passed around, and polyacetylene
became more than 10 million times more conductive.
Voila!
Now, polyacetylene is important to the origin story of conductive polymers, but in the last
40 years scientists have developed a bunch of other ones, including PEDOT.
It's in a bunch of things, but it's best known for preventing static shocks.
Static electricity might annoy you,
jolting you a little after walking across some carpet to open the door.
But static shocks can be fatal to delicate electronics.
Those tiny packets of current can superheat an unprepared transistor and fry it.
So some companies have started covering flat screen TVs and photographic film with PEDOT.
Because PEDOT is conductive, electrons can move easily, dispersing the charge from real
and potential shocks before there's any damage.
After all, a trickle isn't as dangerous as a firehose.
And one big perk of PEDOT and other newer conductive plastics is that they can be printed.
Researchers have hacked old inkjet printers to print working transistors and other electronics.
And factories working on a larger scale can go even further,
building things like solar cells on huge, flexible sheets.
Solar cells are usually made from silicon.
But that makes them heavy and expensive.
Plastic is lightweight and cheap to produce.
So, even though polymer solar cells right now are less efficient than the silicon kind,
eventually, scientists think they'll be able to put solar cells on just about anything,
from your window shades to your backpack.
Conductive plastics are also poised to replace all sorts of other devices.
Scientists are working to invent flexible screens and power sources.
That means you may someday be able to roll up your screen, or even your whole phone!
You know, someday we're gonna look at this thing and be like, "oh my god, can you believe
that outdated, terrible piece of technology?"
So, conductive plastics used to be an oxymoron.
But an accident—and a lot of hard work—has changed that for good,
and I cannot wait for my bendy smartphone.

Meet the Chinese Billionaire Who Opened Shop in Ohio: VICE News Tonight on HBO - Duration: 6:26.
New numbers out this week
show manufacturing in the U.S. is growing,
with orders and sales at their highest levels since 2014.
Factories that pump out products also create jobs.
But in one Rust Belt town,
that's seen tens of thousands of manufacturing layoffs,
the new jobs come with a different kind of boss.
Americans are working in Moraine, Ohio again,
thanks to a new enormous factory,
which began production last year.
And the company isn't local, or American.
— I like all three of those, too.
— Cao Dewang is the chairman of Fuyao,
one of the largest auto glass manufacturers in the world.
He's a billionaire,
and... that's the large portrait of Cao that hangs in his office.
— Why did you choose Moraine, Ohio?
— It wasn't just any factory.
It was the old General Motors manufacturing plant in Moraine, Ohio,
which closed in 2008 and left almost 1,100 people without jobs.
— It was empty, six-ish years.
Plants growing up in a parking lot,
it looked like an abandoned factory.
— Elaine Allison is the Mayor of Moraine.
She, along with Ohio's Governor John Kasich,
personally lobbied Cao to choose the old GM plant.
— That was the city of Moraine's largest employer.
And the city gets payroll taxes,
which is how we fund our city operations.
So, when that dried up,
then we had to make some serious cutbacks.
— What sort of cutbacks?
— Well, we held off on doing capital improvement projects,
like paving roads, buying equipment.
We just had to put a moratorium on everything,
just to keep the city afloat.
— Fuyao isn't investing in the United States
to help cities like Moraine.
The company, which supplies auto glass
to many large American car manufacturers,
including Ford, Chevrolet, and GM,
is doing it because it's good for business.
The World Bank estimates that China's tax rate
as a percentage of profits is 68%,
but only 44% in the U.S.
Chinese labor is also now only 4% cheaper
than it is in the United States.
That's led to a growing influx of Chinese investment,
from just over $2-billion in 2011,
to nearly $55-billion last year.
It's also creating jobs.
Roughly 2,000 people now work at the plant,
many of them former GM employees.
— Yeah, it is really weird.
— Steve Qvick never expected to be back inside,
much less while on the payroll of a Chinese company.
— When I walked in, I got some old memories popped up.
Right now, it doesn't even remind me of the GM plant.
When I walk in here, this is Fuyao.
And I enjoy walking in here and knowing that I'm coming to Fuyao.
— So one of the interesting things about this factory
is that it very much runs against the national narrative
of jobs moving overseas, from the U.S. to China.
These jobs came here from China.
Have you thought about that at all?
— I know that I, personally, am very grateful that they are here,
because it did bring jobs back to this community.
— Do you think of it as a Chinese company with American workers,
or do you think of it as, like,
an American company with a Chinese boss?
— I'm going to say neither.
It's two different cultures that kind of came together
rather quickly in one operation.
And... it's kind of hard to explain.
— It isn't just the workers that are having to adapt.
Fuyao is still getting used to U.S. regulations.
And American labor unions.
— There have been American workers who have refused to do things,
and they will send a Chinese person who will do it without question.
— Jason Turner and Roberto Martinez are thankful
to have manufacturing jobs in 2017,
but they feel like Fuyao is still operating
as though it were in China.
— I worked a lot of factory jobs in my lifetime and
I haven't experienced this type of level of safety issues.
— Fuyao Currently has 24 pending violations
with the U.S. Department of Labor.
It's appealed all 24 of them.
When we checked with a government safety official,
we were told that the number isn't unusually high
for a factory of its size.
— We're grateful that the jobs are there.
We just feel they could be better.
— And safer.
— And safer, yes.
— Growing pains in the United States have been compounded
by pushback in China,
where the company has been accused of outsourcing jobs and business.
Cao, though, says that nothing has changed.
— Do you feel like you've learned something about doing business
in the United States, especially with manufacturing,
that others might benefit from knowing about?
— It's hard to argue that Cao hasn't achieved
at least some of this balance with the new factory.
— Steve, the former GM worker, hadn't met Cao
when we first spoke to him.
But he's wanted to thank him in person
ever since he started almost two years ago.
— So I'd like to thank him for bringing his company here,
for us and our community.
it's very, very lucrative for us.
And we appreciate it.
— You're welcome.
Thank you.

Facebook Live Recording on Monday, March 20, 2017 - Duration: 4:37.
Hi, everybody! This is Jennifer Maddrell. How are
you doing? Today is the kickoff to our
latest service course, so I just thought
I'd say "hello" (very briefly), and welcome
everybody. I just checked and we passed
the 700 enrollment mark.
There were seven hundred and three
people enrolled as of three thirty here
in Chicago, Illinois, so welcome everybody
who is joining us. I also just wanted to
spend a couple of seconds talking about
what this course is about, and how it's a
little different in case you
participated in our past projects. First
of all, it again is a MOOC ... a massive
open online course we host on canvas
network. So, that's the same, and the big
difference is instead of the 12-week
course this is now a six-week course.
Because of that we're, going to be
able to condense the course. I know
a lot of folks had a hard time being
able to finish the whole course and
devoting that much time to a
12-week course, and so this one is now
six. The reason we're able to do that
is instead of creating a lesson from
scratch ... and again we're creating open
educational resources for adult basic
education programs ... instead of us
creating our lessons from scratch what
we're going to do is go back and
evaluate and revise the lessons that
have been prepared in prior Designers
for Learning cohorts. We have our
resources that have been created on
OER Commons using a software tool
called Open Author, so you'll go on to
OER Commons to
our roster of resources, and then take
one of the resources of your choice and
evaluate it. When you go through the
course, there will be some materials within
module two that will give you some tips
and pointers on how to evaluate the
resources. And, then you will make
revisions, and the way you'll do that is
you'll remix that resource into a new
resource, and then make the changes that
you feel are appropriate. There are
three modules in the course ... three
main modules. The first is module one
that talks about the learner and the context.
Module two talks about basic
instructional design principles
using Merrill's First Principles of
Instruction as a basis, and then at the
conclusion of module two, you will create
a learner experience map for the lesson as you want
to adapt it or revise it (the lesson
that you reviewed). Then, finally in
module three, that's when you actually
put virtual pen to paper and make your
actual edits, and turn in your
assignments. If you can complete the
course you have the
ability to earn badge, as well as a
certificate of recognition for your
service in this course. Let's think
of anything else ... I don't have notes
these are all off top of my head. Let's
see what else I can think of that may be
of interest to those who are just
joining. Oh, the big thing ... the big
difference ... in our prior
two MOOC cohorts, we had frequent live
sessions, but those were hard for
people to be able to attend especially
now as our reach is getting outside of
North America. We have about thirty
percent of the people joining our course
from outside of North America, so
we've done away with our
every other week live
session, and what we're doing now is
having one live session. And, it's a
longer one. It is four hours on Saturday
April 15th (2017) and all the information
is in the course. We're
running it with small breakout
groups, so you'll join live using ... I
believe at this point we'll be using
Adobe Connect or another
online web conferencing tool ...
and we'll have a whole group discussion
and then pretty quickly get you into
small groups where you can talk about
your design project. And that's a pretty
exciting and fun and new addition to the
course, so again mark your calendars for
Saturday April 15th, and check the
class for the specific time. Since it's a
time conversion to your area, I don't
want to say the time, because then you'll
get it in your head and actually we
base everything off of eastern time here
in the north america which obviously is
different depending on where you're
you're sitting & where you're listening
right now. Again, I want to thank
everybody for joining us. If you have any
questions, just head to the course and
there's a help forum, as well as an ask
with subject matter expert forum. We have
seven course facilitators that are in
the background monitoring things, looking
at the discussion boards,
so you'll see their names popping in
from time to time including myself.
So, with that ... thanks so much for
joining us and we'll see in the course!

Test How Connected Are You To The Universe - Duration: 2:24.
Test How Connected Are You To The Universe
BY GOSTICA
Look up at the stars and not down at your feet.
Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist.
Be curious.
-Stephen Hawking
Yes, we are all connected to the Universe.
But our connections can also be unique.
Some of us may feel more drawn to certain elements (air, fire, water, earth, spirit),
and some of us may be pulled in directions we haven�t quite figured out yet.
There are countless mysteries surrounding us, even in our mundane tasks and over-scheduled
days.
�The size and age of the Cosmos are beyond ordinary human understanding.
Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home.
In a cosmic perspective, most human concerns seem insignificant, even petty.
And yet our species is young and curious and brave and shows much promise.
In the last few millennia we have made the most astonishing and unexpected discoveries
about the Cosmos and our place within it, explorations that are exhilarating to consider.
They remind us that humans have evolved to wonder, that understanding is a joy, that
knowledge is prerequisite to survival.
I believe our future depends on how well we know this Cosmos in which we float like a
mote of dust in the morning sky.� ? Carl Sagan, Cosmos

Earth Warriors And The New World - Duration: 5:16.
Earth Warriors And The New World.
by Morag,
There is a war going on, not the wars we know about, this is a war of energy, of dimensional
frequencies.
The matrix is being decommissioned.
Some of it we see, some we don�t.
This is a war for Gaia, for our minds, bodies and souls.
To fight this unseen war is to raise our vibrations.
It�s to stay positive, to choose love vibration and reject fear frequency.
The political elite, the propaganda of Hollywood, music industry puppets, the big corporations,
the aristocracy, they are all feeling the burn.
They know we and our intergalactic friends are coming for them.
The time for freedom is now, as predicted for millennia, by many races here and elsewhere.
This is cosmic, celestial, rare and necessary.
Our free will has been compromised, our intergalactic allies are now directly involved.
Expect controlled and manipulated disclosure soon.
Be rational, calm and intellectual in how you approach this coming knowledge.
The cabal in power on planet earth are far scarier than anything out there.
We have been living with the enemy for thousands of years, it�s time to reclaim what is ours,
our lands, our minds, hearts and souls and our lives.
Turn off all advertising and mainstream media, it is all programming.
Programming how we feel, see, eat, want and believe.
Be wary of rules, of commands, of anything that labels and boxes us in.
Seek freedom of choice, listening to our heart, not our ego.
Approach all mainstream culture with caution, the agenda is forced, desperate and powerful
to mold our children, to program polarity of thinking from a young age.
Misogyny and sexualization of children is rife in US media exports, switch them off!
We are right in the middle of a storm, a silent storm, a cosmic storm, a war for energetic
frequencies.
The more people the elite can keep in the holographic third dimension, the more energy
they harvest.
Unseen friends are tackling the military elite, sources report the US FEMA camps are being
disbanded.
There is a lot of activity behind the smokescreen of pantomime politics being played out in
world mainstream media.
To play our part, to be an earth warrior is to wake up, unplug, activate our chakra system.
Clearing, strengthening and balancing our systems helps us stay centered, be fluid and
flow with waves of frequency ascension.
Enjoy being here on planet earth feel the seasons change, breathe long and deep.
Reconnect to Gaia and the vibration of nature, of universal love.
The matrix feeds on our vulnerabilities, our weaknesses, our childhood and ancestral karma.
It persuades us it can fill the hole, carved by the elite to make us pliable, in our soul.
It can�t.
Only we can fill that hole, with love energy.
Become more compassionate, calmer and clearer thinking beings.
Let universal love energy become part of you, let it integrate with your cellular and soul
being.
Our inner world becomes our outer experience.
Manifest abundance, equality, freedom and love in your life and on Gaia.
Mantra: I release fear, I embrace love.

ETIQUETTE AROUND IT.
LIKE IF YOU'RE GOING TO GET UP AND DANCE, STAY IN YOUR LITTLE
SQUARE IN FRONT OF YOUR SEAT. [LAUGHTER]
SARA: I HATE THE DRUNK PERSON HANGING ON YOU AND I'M LIKE I
DON'T KNOW YOU. OR LIKE IT'S A BALLAD AND
THEY'RE STANDING -- JULIE: SORRY, SARA.
WE KNOW EACH OTHER WELL.
SARA: THAT'S OK WHEN IT'S YOU.
AND I'VE HAD THE PERSON STANDING UP IN FRONT OF YOU AND IF IT'S
SOMEONE LIKE YOU OR SOME BALLAD LIKE THAT, YOU'RE LIKE SIT DOWN.
I DON'T WANT TO STAND THROUGH EVERY BALLAD.
TRACEY: IF IT'S A BALLAD, GIVE THE LEGS A BREAK, RIGHT?
AISHA: I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE ON STAGE LOOKING OUT AND IT'S
MISERABLE.
I WANT TO SEE YOUR ENJOYMENT OUT HERE.
I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE ENJOYING IT INSIDE YOUR FEELINGS.
I WANT TO SEE IT AND WHEN I'M AT A SHOW, I'M LIKE I LOVE YOU!
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! I SING ALL THE SONGS.
NO ONE CAN HEAR THE SINGING.
I FEEL LIKE A PART OF IT IS SHOWING THE ARTIST THAT YOU LOVE
THEM. TRACEY: ESPECIALLY WITH A LIVE
AUDIENCE. IT'S SUCH A GIVE AND TAKE.

Paige Pierce Disc Golf Clinic Clips | Upshots - Duration: 2:34.
- I think she had a really good point at
aiming for the ground.
Don't--
Upshots, the number one objective is getting to the basket.
Drives, if you park it, great.
If you don't, you have an upshot.
So the upshot is,
get yourself closest to the basket as you can.
That doesn't mean try to compensate for
a bad drive and try to make it.
The birdie is off,
the birdie is off the table at that point.
All you're doing is trying to get up and down.
So for me personally I think the best way to do that
is aiming at the ground and letting your disc do the work.
Don't aim for the basket and then you fly by it.
I think another thing that will help dramatically is,
when you think of upshots,
you think of it's a little bit shorter and maybe tighter,
but that's not really the case out here.
These courses are pretty open.
So try to make it seem as if it's tighter.
Try to give yourself--
When I'm doing field work,
I'll try to, you know, make two lines on
my left and right that I can't,
that I don't want my disc to deviate outside of.
That way--
- [Student] When it lands or like in flight?
- The entire flight.
The disc, I want the disc to be in
that zone the entire flight.
That way if there's trees,
I'm hitting the gap.
If there's not trees I'm still, you know,
at a direct route to the basket.
That way you're not covering as much ground.
That's why you're wanting to throw slower speeds,
putters preferably, at the basket.
If you can't get a putter there, a mid,
but the slowest disc that you possibly can,
because it doesn't deviate left to right as much,
and upshot, like I said,
closest to the basket is the key.
So try to pick the disc that goes the most direct.
That way you don't have to cover all this ground and hope--
Like she said on the putts,
don't aim high and right and hope it dives in.
Same thing for upshots.
Don't aim--
I mean, there's exceptions.
Sometimes you're gonna throw highs or upshots.
But for the most part on, you know,
dead straight, no trees in the way,
you wanna throw the most direct route as possible.
- 'Cause I was always doing any second shot's a birdie shot
just to get--
- [Paige] No, no, no.
- [Student] Okay, I wanna make any shot.
- I think, I think the T shot dictates
the score you're taking on that hole.
If you throw a great shot,
take the birdie putt.
If you don't throw a great shot,
don't try to compensate with
a crazy upshot and try to run it.

Newt Sex in the High Sierra - Duration: 3:16.
Snow melt is the engine that drives life in the Sierra Nevada, and in early spring it
feeds countless rivers and streams.
And just below the surface, remarkable events are unfolding.
Sierra newts spend most of their lives on land, in the moist parts of the forest.
But once a year they return to their place of birth to seek out a mate.
Males patrol the shallows, awaiting the arrival of a female.
The minute she enters the water, males are upon her in an instant.
Competition is fierce.
In just a few moments, a mating ball has formed with more than a dozen males competing to
mate with a single female.
This lucky male manages to escape with his bride.
Courtship can go on for hours, and all this tail wagging is foreplay for newts.
After an extended mating dance, he makes his big move by rubbing his chin on her nose,
a way of exciting her.
The male will then deposit a spermatophore.
It's a small package containing his DNA, that the female will then use to fertilize her eggs.
She may lay up to two hundred eggs on submerged twigs at the river's edge, and if left undisturbed
the larvae will hatch in about eight weeks time.
It's a remarkable cycle that happens every spring.

I'm [INAUDIBLE].
This is "How a Show Becomes a Show,"
where I take you step-by-step through how a show actually
gets made.
Here we go.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey, yeah, can I get an apple Danish?
Oh, and do you mind making it snow in here?
Thanks.
What?
In Hollywood, that's not such an unreasonable request.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
So, behind me, Craig and Katie are filming a scene
in this restaurant where it's supposed to be snowing outside.
And, of course, it's June and it's Montreal,
so there's no snow anywhere.
However, that didn't stop us.
We brought in a snow machine to make it look
like it's pounding with snow.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Look, all of this romance is great, but I'm from Canada,
so when I see snow, I just want to play in it.

Training program | Green Lantern | Featurette [+SUBTITLES] - Duration: 4:51.
It's like the instruction manual to the Green Lantern Corps.
How the ring works, how the mind works.
It's a training program to become a fully-fledged Green Lantern.
KILOWOG: Welcome to Ring Slinging 101.
Or as I like to call it:
The worst day of your worthless life.
The total visual effects number for the film was approximately 1400 shots.
Putting together the training platform was daunting.
BERNEY: And we've been working on it from day one.
It's just a huge model. A huge environment.
SCHAUB: Probably one of the toughest sequences...
...because of the evolution we went through...
...and the amount of business that's happening in there.
These things you have to plan carefully.
And here, when he raises the gun and there, all right?
On your third burst I'll be here and you lower the gun.
The training platform is where we see the constructs used the most.
TOMAR-RE: The ring's limits are only what you can imagine.
His moment with Tomar-Re at the beginning...
...the construct he creates, that moment where they have...
...where he starts to get the idea what creating a construct is all about.
A construct is basically the ring bearer's will...
...and imagination manifested by the ring.
So it's anything you can think of.
And typically, it's used by Green Lanterns in battle.
[GRUNTING]
A lot of the constructs were scripted originally...
...and some we changed when we got on to shooting itself.
Then smack him.
The constructs were originally conceived as flat 2D artwork by the Art Department...
...then handed over to Sony who then would build the 3D models.
The effect of creating constructs and blasting...
...requires about 10 or 15 different layers of effects.
SINESTRO: I fear nothing.
Because of the nature of the constructs, their scale, their size...
...how they appeared, the brevity they appear for, how they disappeared...
...we had to make sure we allowed for the framing to obviously accommodate...
...like a jet engine or a machine gun.
So before shooting any scene...
...we had to nail down exactly what the construct was...
...the timing it would come on, you know, how big it was...
...and how it would interact with the characters.
A lot of this was realized in storyboards as well.
Some of these moments where Hal gets his feet to clamp down in boots...
...and constructing the table.
KILOWOG: Let's see what you've got.
Kilowog puts Hal through the physical...
...contortions of training.
KILOWOG: Here, let me help you.
Finishing that off, we finish with him and Sinestro together.
This is the human.
He tests him in a traditional fight...
...but using constructs created by their rings.
SINESTRO: A sword?
How human.
And gives Hal a horse-whipping.
I do believe I smell fear.
We had to go into each shot knowing what the construct was gonna be.
Ryan Reynolds had to know what the construct was, so he could react suitably.
Mark Strong had to know the constructs, so he could react suitably as well.
It's hand-to-hand combat.
They're creating one construct, that one gets knocked over, other one gets created.
That was orchestrated over many, many weeks before we actually shot that.
REYNOLDS: Then let's do it.
And that was choreographed with our stunt coordinator, Gary...
...and with Grant Major, Production Design, to make sure we came up...
...with a really cool set of tools they could use during that fight.
Will is what makes you take action.
Fear is what stops you.
Then once you shoot it, you know, you come back and you edit it all together.
SCHAUB: And even from then, the work just started.
And started, basically, re-prevising the entire sequence...
...and deciding where in this environment they were gonna be from shot to shot.
At one point, there were two levels to the platform.
They began on the top. He got hammered through...
...and got bounced down to the bottom platform.
All details were being worked out.
Constantly going back into the edit process and refining and tightening it up.
All the while the environment guys were in there building the Oan environment.
BERNEY: So then now you could tie your characters into that...
...with both lighting and effects.
And of course, you have all your timings of, you know...
...when they create their constructs. You start putting together the effects...
...for the constructs and you start layering it together.
Many artists were involved with every shot...
...from layout, match-moving, getting the suit tracking.
If one thing didn't work in that puzzle, you'd lose audience from the beginning.
KILOWOG: Your constructs are only gonna be as strong as your will.
And your will is pathetic.
As the actor, you really have to put your faith in the hard-working artists...
...behind the scenes to make this thing pop off the screen...
...in a unique and incredible way.
It's bizarre, but the more difficult something is...
...the bigger the mountain you climb, the more effort you put in--
When you sit there and you see it on the big screen, it's worth it.

Sara Duani - Young Pioneers Award 2017 Recipient - Duration: 2:35.
[Sara speaking Hebrew]
What I love about teaching is seeing
the transformation of students.
It's amazing for me to see
how they're sponges who love to learn
and to see them really take in all that you teach them
and become stronger students and better learners.
It's taught me to really work together
with other teachers and to learn from them as well.
Ani ohevet Morah Sarah!
We work in a school where it's really about the child,
child-centered learning,
and I took that philosophy and I said
I'm going to make it work for them,
on their level, on their terms.
From the very moment that I met Sara,
I knew that we were dealing with a superstar.
An individual who can gauge and relate to people
and can really get children to reach their potential.
Working together with Sara has taught me so much,
from observing her in her classroom
and from information that she personally
helps me see and helps me learn.
For Morah Sara, everything is a Hebrew language lesson.
[Sara speaking Hebrew]
Whatever it takes to keep the language
exclusively Hebrew in the classroom,
Morah Sara will do it.
And the impact that it has on the students
lasts forever.
She understands the importance of the Hebrew language,
as being the language that unites all Jews,
and also understands the importance of the language
as the gateway to any sophisticated Jewish learning.
Watching Sara in her classroom
is one of the greatest experiences
a person can ever have.
She exudes such warmth and love and happiness
with everything she teaches
and the students really absorb that.
I believe that I can give those students those Ivrit b'Ivrit skills
where they can understand the language
and can open any text or any sefer
and have it and fly with it.
They won't need me to be their teacher forever
because of what I've given them.
To see students every day say,
"Hey, Morah, I read a word over there from a different class,
I know what they're talking about."
Or for them to open up a book that I didn't teach them,
that is in Hebrew, and they come and they tell me
about the story, to me is amazing.
Through our work here we're able to spark a love of Judaism
and a love of Israel into our students
and they feel so proud of their heritage
as a result.

A Plastic That Conducts Electricity? - Duration: 4:40.
You've probably noticed that electrical wires are often wrapped in plastic,
or that electricians use gloves and tools with plastic coatings.
That's because they don't want to get electrocuted, which is smart.
Plastics prevent fatal zaps by blocking the flow of electrons.
They are good insulators.
And for decades, that's all scientists thought plastics could be,
until a mistake in a lab forever changed the future of electronics.
It was 1974, and a Japanese chemist named Hideki Shirakawa was testing new ways of making plastics.
When someone in his lab accidentally added 1,000 times more of one thing to the reaction than normal,
the result was bizarre: a silvery, shiny foil that was a plastic,
but looked a lot like metal.
Shirakawa showed his strange plastic to a fellow chemist named Alan MacDiarmid,
and then they brought in a physicist, Alan Heeger,
and together, they found a way to tweak the metallic-looking plastic so it conducted like a metal, too.
That had never happened before, and the three won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2000
for discovering conductive plastics.
Today, scientists have invented thousands of conductive plastics to do all sorts of things,
like protecting your electronics from static shocks or building cheaper solar panels.
All plastic—from Tupperware to the bristles of your toothbrush—is made of polymers,
which are just long chains of repeating chemical segments.
For instance, Shirakawa's polymer, polyacetylene, is just a chain of carbon atoms.
But what makes polyacetylene special is an alternating pattern of double and single bonds.
Usually bonds hold their electrons in place,
but this pattern lets the double bonds share their electrons.
And this electron-sharing, or conjugation, allows polymer chains move electrons
like a microscopic bucket brigade, passing them along to conduct electricity.
But conjugation on its own isn't enough to transform an insulator into a conductor.
Polyacetylene, after all, didn't conduct electricity very well right away.
That's because it was too packed with electrons.
Imagine being in a bucket brigade where everyone is holding a bucket.
You can't take the bucket from the person beside you, because your hands are already full of the bucket,
and you can't pass your bucket on because that person also already has a bucket.
But if you just take out a few buckets, problem solved.
And that is exactly what the scientists did to the plastic.
They removed some of its electrons.
With a few gaps in the chain, electrons could easily be passed around, and polyacetylene
became more than 10 million times more conductive.
Voila!
Now, polyacetylene is important to the origin story of conductive polymers, but in the last
40 years scientists have developed a bunch of other ones, including PEDOT.
It's in a bunch of things, but it's best known for preventing static shocks.
Static electricity might annoy you,
jolting you a little after walking across some carpet to open the door.
But static shocks can be fatal to delicate electronics.
Those tiny packets of current can superheat an unprepared transistor and fry it.
So some companies have started covering flat screen TVs and photographic film with PEDOT.
Because PEDOT is conductive, electrons can move easily, dispersing the charge from real
and potential shocks before there's any damage.
After all, a trickle isn't as dangerous as a firehose.
And one big perk of PEDOT and other newer conductive plastics is that they can be printed.
Researchers have hacked old inkjet printers to print working transistors and other electronics.
And factories working on a larger scale can go even further,
building things like solar cells on huge, flexible sheets.
Solar cells are usually made from silicon.
But that makes them heavy and expensive.
Plastic is lightweight and cheap to produce.
So, even though polymer solar cells right now are less efficient than the silicon kind,
eventually, scientists think they'll be able to put solar cells on just about anything,
from your window shades to your backpack.
Conductive plastics are also poised to replace all sorts of other devices.
Scientists are working to invent flexible screens and power sources.
That means you may someday be able to roll up your screen, or even your whole phone!
You know, someday we're gonna look at this thing and be like, "oh my god, can you believe
that outdated, terrible piece of technology?"
So, conductive plastics used to be an oxymoron.
But an accident—and a lot of hard work—has changed that for good,
and I cannot wait for my bendy smartphone.

The NIH Embodies American Greatness - Duration: 3:48.
Last week, President Trump released his budget proposal.
There were winners and losers: This budget, whether or not it actually passes,
represents the values of the current administration, an administration that promised to put America
First and to Make America Great Again.
This budget hurts a lot of agencies, but I want to talk about one agency getting hit
hard, the National Institutes of Health, which, in my opinion, is a wonder of the modern world.
An American wonder.
Full disclosure here.
Part of my salary comes from an NIH grant.
The other part comes from taking care of veterans at the VA medical center in West Haven, so
technically I'm on both the winning and losing side of this budget.
But it struck me, in reading about the response to the NIH cuts, that many people are unaware
of just how important this agency is.
First of all, let's focus on 20%.
Is that a big deal?
These are government agencies, right?
You can always find 20% fat to trim.
Hardly.
The dark blue line is the NIH budget over the past 60 years or so, adjusted for inflation.
Since 2003, we've seen steady decreases.
And of that budget, more than 80% goes to grants.
Another 10% goes to research in the NIH's own labs.
In other words – cutting 20% means cutting grants.
There are no two ways about it.
And grant funding at NIH is crazy competitive.
Take a look at funding levels over the past 15 years:
The blue line shows the success rate, steadily declining since 2003, as the budget was reduced.
Cut the budget?
Fund less grants.
The current success rate is around 18%.
And please realize that the 82% that aren't funded are not bad science.
In fact, I've reviewed many proposals for the NIH that were very impressive, had a high
public health impact, and would have saved lives but there simply wasn't enough money
to pay for them.
I want to make an argument for why the NIH represents the very best of American values,
something we should hold aloft and treasure and encourage others to emulate.
First, the NIH is a true meritocracy.
Grants get funded based on the strength and feasibility of the idea, and the importance
to the public.
Bad grants by high-profile researchers get rejected routinely.
Compelling grants from relative unknowns get funded.
Second, the NIH is a powerful economic engine.
NIH drives innovation, and innovation is the past, present, and future of the American
economy.
It's what makes us great.
This study from the Journal of Law and Economics found that every dollar spent by the NIH in
basic science research stimulates $8.40 of industry investment.
The human genome project, an NIH-sponsored study, has contributed more than 1 trillion
dollars to the US economy.
Finally, the NIH is national defense.
We are being decimated by an epidemic of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, depression, drug
abuse, and suicide.
These are the enemies who are destroying American culture, families, and prosperity.
NIH funds studies in these areas to protect the public.
Private industry won't, because there often is no profit to be had in it.
A brilliant businessman would give the NIH more, not less.
A nationalistic strongman would give the NIH more, not less.
A true-blue capitalist, wanting to build the economy and grow the jobs of the future, would
give the NIH more, not less.
A believer in American exceptionalism would give the NIH more, not less.
We need to be smart about where we spend our money.
This budget isn't smart.
It's ideological chest-thumping.
Our representatives need to know that poor decisions that cripple America's future
will be held against them, regardless of party affiliation.
Call them.
