The Fifth Element

Dear teacher
Thank you very much for this lesson with greek history, it always pleases me to hear something about this good old Pythagoras.
Amicalement,
Don Felipe

This one has to be my favorite blooper so far

that was fantastic hotforwords.

Marina, that bunny look @ 3:10 slays me & the blooper, gave me chuckle. This video best shows your love of teaching good stuff & getting it right. Nice length video too. Cheers

The fifth element is LOVE :idea:

heh, that was a long one,essential, no not the tial, the sch like the sssccchhh not the sch……. :mrgreen: (who the *** knows the English language :razz: :wink: ). I remember my English lessons in school…. :roll:

Very nice video/lesson

:idea: If the origin of quintessential is the 5th element and Pythagoras defined that to be what stars are made of, would that not infer that the origin relates to hydrogen? By calling something quintessential, you’re not saying it’s the most essential thing, you’re saying it’s full of hot air.

PS The last blooper with the white board falling over – this has happened to me so many times.

PPS We learned something important – Marina has pronounciation booty calls. :grin: Who’s your sage?

i believe pythagoras was talking about dark matter or dark energy ,its a very unknown energy . even albert einstein thought it maybe wasnt a real substance but we starting to learn more about it each year. we know now it exist. in the movie leeloo is the fifth element and at the end its her love . its a beautifull thought ,but it aint keeping planets together please read this article its very interresting.

Just watching this video of the you of the past and just listening to you makes me love you more, Marina. You’re awesome.

[kwin-tuh-sen-shuhl] and it is said this way, because if you were to say kwin-tuh-sen-chuhl it would sound choppy and staccato, which isn’t what we’re going for here, that is, in the word quintessential. It’s supposed to be flowing and mellifluous, but also with a sort of importance to it, like it’s being said with a gust of wind. With, of course, the stress on the “sen” syllable.

Yours quite truly,
Shawn Norris

Miss Orlova,

This IS my favourite word.

This group is quintessential:

:mrgreen: can you do the word indolently please :roll: :?: :lol: :cry: :wink: :roll: :razz: :oops: :grin: :cool: :???: :smile: :shock: :arrow: :neutral: :arrow: :mrgreen:

random lesson is a good thing, keep up the great work—you are my essence to delve through space. I was born the 5th of the year ????, any how, I dig the math :razz: and good luck at “YouTubeLive Event”. Important is 2 latin words. The Greeks produced learning digitally by how we read. Forward with forethoughtfulness and let the sunshine. Onward. 2 OPHIR please keep your snakes :wink: :shock

There at the end you do have a little bit of an anger flash across your face when frustrated. :smile: :smile:

I had to watch it again :grin:

ANG3ES

Dear совершенная Marina, That really is one of your best videos, because you change the tone of your voice on occassion, you lean towards the camera to emphasize things, and you insert some of the most beautiful still photographs of yourself. I also thought it was neat that you show the phonecall in which you check pronunciation, and I enjoyed the “blooper” in which you fight with the loose whiteboard. Of course, I’d rate the video five stars! Your dear student, seesixcm6

:smile: This is considered the “quintessential” Canadian Game :smile:

Great video, thanks for the post! I love that old HNIC footage.

That phone call made my brain hurt. What’s the correct pronunciation!?

:mad: AHHHHHH!!!! :mad:

A diamond in the rough! :cool: Indeed….

love your shirt Ed Hardy Rocks!! :cool:

I loved Milla Jovovich In THE FIFTH ELEMENT. She’s so hot in that movie!

The outtakes are an essential part, makes you seem closer to your students, don’t think you were angry, but more trying real hard not to laugh. Right?

*****s*t*a*r*s*****S*T*A*R*S*****The Pythagorean Theorem was one of the earliest theorems known to ancient civilizations. This famous theorem is named for the Greek mathematician and philosopher, Pythagoras. Pythagoras founded the Pythagorean School of Mathematics in Cortona, a Greek seaport in Southern Italy. He is credited with many contributions to mathematics although some of them may have actually been the work of his students.

The Pythagorean Theorem is Pythagoras’ most famous mathematical contribution. According to legend, Pythagoras was so happy when he discovered the theorem that he offered a sacrifice of oxen. The later discovery that the square root of 2 is irrational and therefore, cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers, greatly troubled Pythagoras and his followers. They were devout in their belief that any two lengths were integral multiples of some unit length. Many attempts were made to suppress the knowledge that the square root of 2 is irrational. It is even said that the man who divulged the secret was drowned at sea.

The Pythagorean Theorem is a statement about triangles containing a right angle. The Pythagorean Theorem states that:

“The area of the square built upon the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares upon the remaining sides.”

Neopythagoreanism was an attempt to introduce a religious element into pagan philosophy in place of what had come to be regarded as an arid formalism. The founders of the school sought to invest their doctrines with the halo of tradition by ascribing them to Pythagoras and Plato, and there is no reason to accuse them of insincerity. They went back to the later period of Plato’s thought, the period when Plato endeavoured to combine his doctrine of Ideas with the Pythagorean number-theory, and identified the Good with the One, the source of the duality of the Infinite and the Measured with the resultant scale of realities from the One down to the objects of the material world. They emphasized the fundamental distinction between the Soul and the Body. God must be worshipped spiritually by prayer and the will to be good, not in outward action. The soul must be freed from its material surrounding, the “muddy vesture of decay,” by an ascetic habit of life. Bodily pleasures and all sensuous impulses must be abandoned as detrimental to the spiritual purity of the soul. God is the principle of good; Matter the groundwork of Evil. In this system we distinguish not only the asceticism of Pythagoras and the later mysticism of Plato, but also the influence of the Orphic mysteries. and of Oriental philosophy. The Ideas of Plato are no longer self-subsistent entities; they are the elements which constitute the content of spiritual activity. The non-material universe is regarded as the sphere of mind or spirit.

Neopythagoreanism is a link in the chain between the old and the new in pagan philosophy. It connects the teaching of Plato with the doctrines of Neoplatonism. Iamblichus, in particular, was especially influenced by Neopythagoreanism.

…my random lesson and Thank you Marina :grin:

Happy is a new approach to the year a :cool: head…. :cool: Keep peace forever my friend…on all [continents] too…5five5…bless the new year to all who reads too…HOtFOrWORDs is how we communicate! :P

lol thanks Leonard.

peace for 2010 :smile:

great Leonard!

for both your comment and the vid : )

thanks!

listened to that song four times now, it gets better every time i hear it great great, great song Leonard!

I am crazy T-hu[]ool….. :lol: E…docked…[dock] of tick – tock….ricked :twisted: the wood is stacked :grin:

The integers (from the Latin integer, literally “untouched”, hence “whole”: the word entire comes from the same origin, but via French[ :lol: ) are formed by the natural numbers including 0 (0, 1, 2, 3, ...) together with the negatives of the non-zero natural numbers (−1, −2, −3, ...). Viewed as subset of the real numbers, they are numbers that can be written without a fractional or decimal component, and fall within the set {... −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, ...}. For example, 65, 7, and −756 are integers; 1.6 and 1½ are not integers. The set of all integers is often denoted by a boldface Z (or blackboard bold , Unicode U+2124 ℤ), which stands for Zahlen (German for numbers, pronounced [ˈtsaːlÉ™n]). from WIKI :shock:

The integers (with addition as operation) form the smallest group containing the additive monoid of the natural numbers. Like the natural numbers, the integers form a countably infinite set

Quintessential, mindless, modern epicene!
:mrgreen:

“That one gave me chuckle.” @ :33 is sooo excellent. I love how the light changes half way through. :lol: Marina was lookin’ feisty in this vid.

Quintessence is accelerating the universe…

Actually just pulling on everything.
It is the stretching property of the flux particle field.
Like a highly stretched tennis net.

And I guess those Greeks were right about it being something. It is what everything else is made from. The basic element.

I just found an experiment from years ago to prove my theory.
They had results that they cannot explain but my theory gives an easy explanation.
There isn’t anyone to write to about it though… Einstein and Feynman are dead.
Everyone else is ridiculous.

That shirt you are wearing underneath makes it look like your arms are completely tattooed.

p.s. nice subliminal message @ 2:21

I like these videos from 2007-2008 I think I will stay here.
