    Marina, i love all your vids; Petty, Informative, and Amusing all rolled up into one. Even though I only know one language, I Love the English Language like most languages derive from Latin our common language borrows from all of them. Keep up the good work and Best of Luck.

      Now I know why I didn’t see this video. It was near when I first decided to create an account at HFW in March 19th 2008. I had started teaching my classes and was very busy with that. :smile:

      Prior to the website, I had been watching videos from time to time on YT but never went to the website. :sad: I remember seeing my first lesson sometime in July last year. I was before my birthday Im sure. I wish I could find out the first time I seen my first lesson on YT. :neutral:

      You know whats amazing? Is to watch this vid and at the same time look over to the right and see a picture of teacher now…wow, just, wow….what an absolutely stunning young lady shes become. Not that she wasn’t before, but now, wow :shock: :grin:

    Word:
    Where did the name for the Sandpiper, Godwit(as in Bar-tailed Godwit or Hudsonian Godwit) come from?

    Only the best exercise physiologists will tell you that a calorie is a unit of heat TRANSFER. As many above have similarly stated, one calorie is the amount of heat that gets transferred from a burning food to raise one milliliter (or cubic centimeter, or gram) of water by one degree Celsius at sea level. Nutritional labels use the kilocalorie (or Calorie, note the capital “C”), which is the amount of heat needed to raise one liter (or kilogram) of water by one full degree Celsius at sea level. A device known as a bomb calorimeter is used to actually burn these foods and determine the amount of degrees the foods raise water, after all, by transferring heat. One poster above wondered about the conversion from kcal to BTU. According to Wikipedia, 1 BTU is approximately equal to .252 to .253 kcal, or about 1/4 of a Calorie. For the physics nerds, that’s equal to 1,054 to 1,060 joules, the standard international unit of energy.
    I’ve watched every episode released in the podcast, and enjoyed each one of them. Keep it up, Marina!

    People don’t think of the homework in terms of cells. That is pretty far back. Let’s connect things here.

    Hot is to burn
    burn is to fire

    In roasting something to see how many calories a food has you would light it on fire. The fire BURNING the food is so HOT that it’s burning the calories in the food. Simple right. Let’s do this again sometime.

    How did we get the “pi” symbol, and are pi r squared. When everyone knows pi are round and cornbread r square.

    Homework! I love Homework!

    Calorie also is an SI unit for energy. It is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.

    That’s why its etymology is the Latin word for heat!

    Dear Teacher,
    I am So chalant for your calere lessons :oops: And because it goes against my religious morals to be concupiscent I am having a crisis over here :cry: So then the likely solution to my problem would be to only listen to your show, without looking, so that’s what I shall have to try. :roll:

    Now for the homework, a calorie (aka gram-calorie) is a unit of energy, it is equal to 4.19 joules, a joule is just another unit of energy expressed in the metric system equal to the work done by a force of one newton acting through a distance of one meter. Now a newton is a unit of force and force = mass times acceleration. that’s like saying one is expressing both mass and acceleration at the same time. So what’s the mass and what’s the acceleration that make up a newton? the acceleration for a newton is equal to one meter per second squared, and the mass is one kilogram. acceleration is a measure of how the speed of an object is changing at any given moment, even if isn’t actually able to move. everything on the surface of the earth is accelerating at about 9.8 meters per second squared due to gravity. In order for a force to do any work, it must both accelerate and as a result of that acceleration, move a distance from it’s location. So then if an object is being acted on by a force, let’s call it gravity, and it rolls along the surface of an infinite frictionless table that is parallel to the ground, is it doing any work due to gravity? No. Now if it falls off the table to the ground, then Yes, it does work, due to gravity and it will have risen in temperature. So suppose something is sitting in place but increasing in temperature (i.e. kinetic energy), is it doing any work? Yes, some work is being done somewhere to increase it’s energy, it just may not be obvious to the human eye, little molecules are accelerating around in there. btw, another name for work is torque. There is also a unit of measure called a large calorie, it’s pretty much the same idea, only it’s one thousand gram calories. Another way to express a gram-calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius. Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of a sample of matter. Mass is a measure of how much matter, or stuff, exist in an object. :neutral:

    Sashay, eccentric &/or eccentricity. Thanks and love the webisodes! You are extremely hot and you deliver a very intelligent side to add to that hotness. Take care.

    So I have been trying to think of a good word to request and just about everyone I thought of in this short time you have already done…damnit. Wait there’s a good word “damnit”, what do you think?

    Marina,

    You are of course beautiful, but in this nonchalant segment, you are unbelievably out of this world beautiful. Oh My Goodness. My chin is still on the floor. Wow.

    Calorie is a unit of measuring heat or energy. If there was a picture of a calorie beside the description in the dictionary, it would be of you wow are you calorie.

    How about this, what is the origin of the word marina. It must have something to do with heat too eh.
