View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-threat-...
Massive vines that blanket the southern United States, climbing high as they uproot trees and swallow buildings. A ravenous snake that is capable of devouring an alligator. Rabbit populations that eat themselves into starvation. These aren’t horror movie concepts – they’re real stories. But how could such situations exist in nature? Jennifer Klos gives the facts on invasive species.

Bill Skarsgård & Nadia Hilker: "The Divergent Series: Allegiant" | Talks...

source: Talks at Google     2016年3月18日
Bill Skarsgård and Nadia Hilker, stars of "Allegiant," the newest movie in The Divergent Series, stop by Google Chicago. Their discussion includes becoming a part of the Divergent universe, bringing their characters to life onscreen, and visiting the Windy City.
With Chicago on the verge of an all-out civil war, Tris (Shailene Woodley) leads Four (Theo James), Christina (Zoë Kravitz), Peter (Miles Teller), Tori (Maggie Q) and Caleb (Ansel Elgort) on a harrowing escape from the walled city, chased by armed guards loyal to self-appointed leader Evelyn (Naomi Watts).
To satisfy expectations for the trilogy’s fan base, filmmakers decided to divide the 544-page third and final installment of the trilogy into two separate films, with the climactic Ascendant set for release in 2017.

Jason Zweig: "The Devil's Financial Dictionary and The Intelligent Investor" | Talks at Google

source: Talks at Google     2016年4月5日
Jason Zweig will discuss his latest book, The Devil's Financial Dictionary, and how he went about distilling everything he had learned in almost three decades as an investing journalist into definitions of Wall Street terms that are, in many cases, only a few words long. Markets are driven much more by psychology and history than by economics. In writing The Devil's Financial Dictionary, Zweig was guided largely by a saying of his father's: "It's remarkable how much you have to learn in order to realize how little you need to know."

“This is the most amusing presentation of the principles of finance that I have ever seen.” —Robert J. Shiller, professor of finance, Yale University; Nobel laureate in economics; author of Irrational Exuberance

“Part social commentary, part instruction manual, Zweig’s book is must-reading for anyone who presumes or desires to understand the investment world…. Like the book in which they’re contained, each of Zweig’s entries is pointed, witty, and revealing of important and useful truths. The Devil himself, a.k.a., [Ambrose] Bierce, would be proud.” —TIME

About the Author
Jason Zweig writes a weekly column, "The Intelligent Investor," for The Wall Street Journal. He is the author of The Devil's Financial Dictionary, a satirical glossary of financial terms; Your Money and Your Brain, on the neuroscience and psychology of financial decision-making; and The Little Book of Safe Money, an investing guide. The editor of the revised edition of Benjamin Graham's The Intelligent Investor and co-editor of Benjamin Graham: Building a Profession, Zweig also assisted the Nobel Prize-winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman in writing his book, Thinking, Fast and Slow. Before joining The Wall Street Journal, Zweig worked at Money, Forbes and TIME.
