The birth of an Arizona dust storm

"The time frame on this scene is from 3:35pm to 5:00pm. So it took about 90 minutes for it to get to me.

It's shot with an ultra-wide 14mm lens, hence the clouds are kind of flat looking...but considering how tricky it is sometimes to gauge just where a dust storm will end up aiming for, I had to get as much of a sky as possible.

Amazingly, it came right at me.

Hope you enjoy!"

Our failing schools. Enough is enough!

Education advocate 'Geoffrey Canada'  in TED talk.

"The testing that we do....is in April. You know when we’re going to get the results back? May be July, may be June. And the results have great data. They tell ‘Raheem’ really struggles, could not do two-digit multiplication---so great data, but you’re getting it back after school is over. And so, what do you do."
"Why, why, why does our education system look so similar to the way it did 50 years ago?"

Quadcopters

A small group of young people who are able to understand the principles of nature are able to create a astonishing devise.

Education means not getting certificates, but getting knowledge.

At TEDGlobal, Raffaello D'Andrea demos his flying quadcopters:

Robots that think like athletes, solving physical problems with algorithms that help them learn. In a series of nifty demos, D'Andrea show drones that play catch, balance and make decisions together -- and watch out for an I-want-this-now demo. 

How we read each other's minds

Sensing the motives and feelings of others is a natural talent for humans. But how do we do it? Here, Rebecca Saxe shares fascinating lab work that uncovers how the brain thinks about other peoples' thoughts -- and judges their actions.
