![]() This is how you build a major chord on top of ANY of the twelve tones of the chromatic scale. The top two notes of the chord, from the third to the 5th, will be three half-steps apart, or a minor 3rd. Between the root and the third you will always have four half-steps, an interval known as a major 3rd. This is because the number of half-steps between each of the notes will always be the same. All major chords sound similar no matter what note they have for their root. The fifth will be the fifth tone of the C major scale, or the note G. The third is going to be the third tone of the C major scale, or the note E. ![]() The C major chord, for example, will have a C as its root and lowest note. Major and minor chords are made up of three tones, called the root, the third, and the fifth. Ninety-nine percent of all popular music, and a great deal of classical music, is built on these two kinds of chords and their variations. When you make a chord, the distance, measured in half-steps, between the tones of a chord determines what kind of chord it is.Ĭhords in modern-day Western music are mostly either major chords or minor chords. As you go up the keyboard, twelve half-steps will bring you right back to where you started in the sequence of tones. Each white or black key is included in the scale, and is a half-step away from the keys next to it. The piano keyboard has only twelve different tones, which make up the chromatic scale, and they repeat as you go up the keyboard. So which notes make which chord? With eighty-eight keys on the piano, that makes an impossible number of combinations for creating chords, right? Actually it’s simpler than that. Most simply put, if you play more than one note at a time you’ve got a chord. Sign up for a free account now and learn with over 300 video lessons (and counting!) accessible on any smart device.

The ability of users to use social media to shape and coordinate these protests using disinformation, bots, cyborgs and trolls is seen as a fundamental issue of our time, and is the subject of an emerging area of science referred to as social cybersecurity. In protest after protest, from the Arab Spring to the Occupy protests, social media has been an integral part of the protest story. Phrases such as “Twitter Revolutions” give voice to the role of these social media technologies in anti-government protests. Today when protests occur, they co-occur in the streets and on social media. ![]() With respect to collective action, social media in general, and Twitter in particular, plays a role as an organizing mechanism and as a reporting mechanism. In the case of Twitter, much of the attention from academics, politicians, pundits, news media, and the public has focused on issues of political, policy, and electoral discourse, crisis communications during natural disasters and other important events, and to the use of Twitter in relation to offline protests. It is important to understand how this all is accomplished, especially in periods leading up to important public decisions such as elections, or during emergencies such as the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Political campaigns, advocacy groups, and the public all use these platforms in parallel with traditional venues of TV, radio, print media, community and organization meetings, rallies, and protests to vie for attention and promote their views. Online social media platforms have proved to be powerful tools in the dissemination of information, expression of opinion, and in the shaping of public discourse. Our work provides insights into the organization of opposing sides of the Twitter debate and discussions over responses to the COVID-19 emergency and helps set the stage for further work in this area. In contrast, the Anti-Protest side is more reactive, has a larger presence of verified account activity (both as actors and targets), and appears to have been more successful in spreading its message in terms of both tweet volume and in attracting more regular type users. We then compare the users in each group and their actions and find that the Pro-Protest side acts more proactively, is more centrally organized, engages with the opposing side less, and appears to rely more on bot-like or troll-like users. We find that these opposing groups mirror the partisan divide regarding the protests in their use of specific phrases and in their sharing of external links. Here, we analyze the Pro- and Anti-Protest sides of the Twitter discussion surrounding the first few weeks of the anti-lockdown protests in the United States. Special attention has been paid to the role these tools play in times of emergency and important public decision-making events such as during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Twitter and other social media platforms are important tools for competing groups to push their preferred messaging and respond to opposing views.

The weekly rate was a little higher than the average student accommodation to be honest, but after staying there for almost a month, I think it was well worth it:ġ.

As well as stress free moving.Ī student accommodation flat that surprised me. Sparkford House is perfect for any university student who is looking for a modern, social, building with spacious rooms and in an excellent location regarding both the university and the city and the high street.

Living in Sparkford House and being a part of the Unilife family has been an amazing experience. In addition, this summer we will be opening our outdoor social areas, including a BBQ area that we hope to be using as soon as the weather allows!įinally I am sorry to hear that an issue has not been resolved - I would appreciate if you were to e-mail me directly (you should have my details) so that I can understand the situation and resolve it for you. Our experience is that the social areas, including the Gym, Music room, Gaming room, Social Kitchen, Communal Lounge and study pods have not reached capacity at any point this year. On top of this, there is no charge for the Laundry for the current year, comparing to the £4 per wash/dry cycle that other student residences charge, this is a substantial saving for our residents. As a reference, other students developments generally work to a 1:75 beds. There are 90 Studios in the building and the 4 washing/ drying stacks represent a ratio of 1:25 studios. Your feedback is always welcome and we will continue to monitor the usage of the Laundry.

The contract has been broken multiple times so should really be re-written to avoid legal action. Issues have to be mentioned multiple times to get resolved, I have mentioned an issue five times over the course of two months and it still hasn’t been resolved. The social areas are also far too small for the maximum capacity. The building has a capacity of circa 115 people and with 4 washing machines, this isn’t sustainable. This building was advertised as being for students yet currently, there are more non-students than students, and some of these appear to be staying for very dubious reasons. Frank spends less and less time in the building meaning that if an issue occurs, contacting someone is more difficult and impersonal.

The player to the left of the dealer should then bid first. Start by dealing out 13 cards to each player. One is to use a standard 52 card deck (with the Aces removed). There are a few ways to play spades with 4 people. There should then be 17 tricks to be bid. Then the player holding the 2 of clubs may exchange it for the lone card in the kitty. To play with three people, deal out 51 cards and keep one card unopened in the “kitty”. In Spades, if you win 13 tricks, it's considered an automatic win. When one team wins all 13 of the 13 possible books, the game is called a “Boston”. The value of the ace varies from game to game. The Ace of Spades, or the Death Card, is the highest valued card in the deck of playing cards. In that case, the highest-ranked spade will win. The highest-ranked card of the suit that was previously played wins the trick unless a spade is played. ![]() You can take alternate turns, and play the same suit as was previously played (if possible).

Aka, if the two players on a team bid 2 and 3 respectively, they should win a combined total of at least 5 tricks. The goal is for each team to win enough tricks to meet or exceed its combined total of bids. All cards are dealt, meaning each player ends up with a hand of 13 cards.Īt this point, each player bids the number of tricks they think they can win.

Learn a quick tip that will get you pronouncing the “r” sound like a native speaker. Going Beyond English Pronunciation Rules (Video) So, while learning English pronunciation rules is very important, you also need to memorize the exceptions. Similarly, though most two-syllable nouns stress the first syllable, some don’t, like today (to-DAY) and request (re-QUEST). For example, while many three-syllable words ending in -or stress the first syllable, there are exceptions like behavior (be-HAV-ior) and receptor (re-CEPT-or). For every English pronunciation rule listed above, there is at least one exception. Stress the third syllable on words ending with -tion (constitution), -sion (apprehension), -ic (supersonic)Įxceptions to English Pronunciation RulesĪs with most languages, English doesn’t always follow its own rules.Stress the second syllable on words ending with -cy (transparency), -ty (fraternity), -phy (philosophy), -gy (geology), -al (political).Four syllables – Stress can be on the second or third syllable, depending on how the word ends.Stress the third syllable on words ending with -ee (referee) -eer (pioneer) -ese (legalese), -ette (vinaigrette).Stress the second syllable on words ending with -tion (reception) -sion (expansion) -ic (strategic), or -al (potential).Stress the first syllable on words ending with -er (ballplayer), -or (narrator), -ly (frequently), or -y (library).Three syllables – Stress can be on the first, second, or third syllable, depending on how the word ends.Second syllable examples: record (re-CORD), combine (come-BINE), and insist (in-SIST). ![]() First syllable examples: happy (HAP-py), little (LIT-tle), and running (RUN-ning).Generally, two-syllable nouns, adjectives, and adverbs stress the first syllable, while two-syllable verbs stress the second syllable.

While there are certain exceptions, you can generally use the following English pronunciation rules for shorter words: Without the right stress on certain syllables, your speech might sound like a robot! This means that, in words with more than one syllable, one syllable will sound a little longer and louder than the others. “Syllable stress” refers to the syllable in a word that gets more emphasis than the others. When you say a word that only has one syllable, you only have one syllable to stress. Syllable StressĬlick below to listen to a recording of this passage. For example, the word “outside” has 4 vowels, but only two syllables, because -ou only counts as one vowel sound, while -i…e combine to form the long “i” sound (like in the word “pie”), even though they are separated by a consonant. Some vowel sounds are silent, while other sounds are made up of two different vowels. Additionally, the number of syllables is not necessarily equal to the number of vowels. While the majority of English words have between 1-4 syllables, some words have as many as 19! This means that counting the number of syllables is not always easy. All ig at or – 4 syllables, 4 vowels (All-i-ga-tor).T om orr ow – 3 syllables, 3 vowels (To-mor-row).Ord er – 2 syllables, 2 vowels (Or-der). |
