View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-memories-form-and-how-we-lose-them-catharine-young

Think back to a really vivid memory. Got it? Now try to remember what you had for lunch three weeks ago. That second memory probably isn’t as strong—but why not? Why do we remember some things, and not others? And why do memories eventually fade? Catharine Young gives the basics on memory and memory loss.

Liked on YouTube: Raw Craft with Anthony Bourdain – Episode Four: Bob Kramer

Anthony Bourdain & The Balvenie head to Olympia, Washington to see firsthand how master bladesmith, Bob Kramer crafts the perfect kitchen knife from melted meteorite. Kramer is one of only one hundred twenty-two certified master bladesmiths in the U.S. and the only one who specializes in forging the word’s finest kitchen knives.

The Balvenie’s longstanding alliance with craft is a result of the distillery’s dedication to the five rare crafts of whisky making, which allow them to achieve their distinctive taste and exceptional quality. The Balvenie still grows its own barley, still malts in its own floor maltings, employs a team of coopers to tend its casks, a coppersmith to maintain its stills, and has in its service the most experienced Malt Master in Scotland.

Warehouse 24 offers its members access to exclusive events, early notice of new product releases and insight & knowledge from The Balvenie’s team of craftsmen. Join here: https://us.thebalvenie.com/warehouse2…

Shared: Stone Delicious IPA

Stone Delicious IPA by Stone Brewing Co.:

Stone has always been obsessed with brewing bold, high-quality craft beer. When we developed this pleasantly bitter, deliciously lemony IPA, we took it as an opportunity to do something we’d spent over a year researching and perfecting: reducing the amount of gluten in the beer* to the degree that nearly everyone could experience our no-holds-barred approach to craft brewing.

An enzyme added during the brewing process called Clarity Ferm did the heavy lifting, cutting the beer’s gluten content to well below the threshold of 20 parts per million required by the Food and Drug Administration to label a product “gluten-free.” What it did not diminish—by any stretch—was this IPA’s flavor.

Neil Gaiman reads Jabberwocky by Neil Gaiman:

Worldbuilders let people who donated money to them vote on what I would read if they hit $600,000. They did reach that goal, and they voted. It was between Goodnight Moon, Fox in Socks, Where the Wild Things Are and Jabberwocky. Jabberwocky won. So I got up this morning and headed, sleep-bleary, out into the woods to record myself reciting it… You can donate to Worldbuilders at worldbuilders.org. And you should.

一体、どのようにして3秒で仕上げるのでしょうか。
驚異の調理スピードにご注目下さい。

「2つの帯域がLTE専用」というフルLTEの特徴を表現するため、
2つのレーンからエビが飛び出す調理装置等は全て今回の撮影の為に開発/製作されました。

エビが飛び出すスピードと、小麦粉、玉子、パン粉、炎、それぞれがふき出すタイミングは、
全て綿密な計算と、検証によりプログラミングされています。
また、調理風景はCGを使用せず、実写にて撮影を行いました。
