Fortunately, there are several resources that will help you with this process. To get started, we are going to review some common questions that you might have when it comes to your Chapter 14 test.Questions can be addressed in two different ways.

The online practice tests offer a great way to review any questions that you have not studied in class. Doing this will give you the chance to ensure that you fully understand the material and get ready for your final exam.Another way to find the answers is to take a test with multiple choices. There are a number of tests that allow you to do this. Many of these tests have more than one choice. This means that you can take a s many as you want. That way, you can review the different questions, including what information was given and the format of the questions, without having to worry about forgetting information.Once you have found all of the questions, try to remember the ones that you need the most.

This is important because it will help you avoid making any mistakes that could lead to a failing grade.

17 Tips For Recording Acoustic Guitar At Your Home Studio

17 Tips For Recording Acoustic Guitar At Your Home Studio Suzy S. Curious about recording acoustic guitar tracks at your home studio? Check out these helpful tips for before and during the session from Perth Amboy, NJ teacher  Jeff S... If youve tried recording acoustic guitar before, theres a good chance you know how demoralizing it can be to think youve captured a wonderful performance, only to learn later that its sonically flawed. Id like to offer some tips, with hopes they will assist you in rendering consistently clean and clear acoustic guitar tracks. Before you even begin, here are some tips for setting up: Find the place in the room that you feel your acoustic guitar or voice sounds best, make a mark on the floor, and also take detailed notes. Include the height of the mic off the ground, the distance between you and the mic, and the angle of yourself and the guitar in relation to the mic. Better yet, have someone take a picture of you recording in your “sweet spot.” Spend some time choosing and verifying the tempo at which you’re going to record the song. Experiment with a few different tempos until you find just the right one. Determine the mood of the song  you are recording and base all your decisions around that. Is the guitar meant to be gentle? Aggressive? Graceful? Attacky? Both the guitar part and the vocal approach will fly or die by your accurate assessment of the mood! Record acoustic guitar and vocals in mono, as these are monophonic sources. Once you get a beginning-to-end performance of the main guitar part, you can think about recording it again and either using the second part to beef up the sound or run one guitar track on the left channel and one on the right. Some engineers like to record with two different mics simultaneously, pointing one at one part of the guitar and one at another part of the guitar. Experiment and see what floats your boat. Record both guitar and vocal without any reverb, effects, or EQ adjustments. Add what you wish after it, but cut the tracks dry. This gives you much more flexibility when you mix. Set your volume levels so that you don’t end up pushing the meter into the red more than once or twice per track (even that might cause distortion enough to ruin an otherwise good track) and then focus on maintaining that level and waveform size as you replay or re-sing the part. Count in one or two measures before you start recording the guitar part. Don’t have the volume of the click track up so high that it bleeds through the headphones into the microphone. Its prudent to record with a click track, but you need to make sure its not so loud that the clicks get picked up in your vocal or instrument mic. Consider extra purchases. If your recording room isnt soundproofed and you dont have the time or the budget to make it so, dont worry. There are several effective and reasonably priced options that will quell the bleed-throughs. Three you might consider are sE Electronics Reflexion Filter X Portable Vocal Booth (just under $125), sE Electronics Reflexion Filter Pro model (just under $250), or the Auralex Pro Max (just under $350).  You might also want to consider getting a wind screen. Next, heres a list of some of the most important tips to keep in mind during your session: Be cognizant of noises, including your own breathing, arm, and hand noises as you move them on the guitar, and other noises that could come from the chair you’re sitting on, the floor, and so on. These will all contaminate your tracks. Nothing is more agonizing than thinking that your performance and recording were pristine, only to later discover that your stomach rumbled or the chair creaked. After you record a track or two, listen to the guitar track for squeaks. Some guitarists hands and styles lend themselves to more squeaking than others. Squeaks are hard to avoid altogether, but aside from being aware of them, you can get coated strings that help reduce squeaking. If youre generally pleased with a performance you record, but it has a few squeaks, write down the times where they occur and then decide whether you’re going to punch in replacement sections or look for a squeakless performance of the section in another part of the song (that you can cut and paste into the squeaky area). Remember to re-tune your guitar (and all other instruments) often during the recording process. As soon as you think you have recorded an acceptable main acoustic guitar part, throw down a quick reference (scratch) vocal (one or two takesâ€"don’t finesse the performance) to see if the vocals work well with the guitar part. In evaluating their synergy, make sure the guitar is not “stepping” on the vocal (i.e. interfering or drawing attention away from) and that there arent any glaring rhythmic or chordal anomalies. Sometimes when you separate the guitar and vocal parts and record them independently, you might alter how you play the guitar part, which makes for a stilted performance. Also, listen to make sure you are not holding out chords or notes too long (or not long enough). If your digital audio workstation (DAW) doesnt automatically save your recordings as they evolve, then you need to remember to click the save button early and often. If applicable, let the final chord of the song ring out until you can’t hear it anymore. And be ever so quiet as it does. Be sure not to breathe loud or move your hands or body. If the song has a fade-out ending, play the fade at least 15 seconds longer than you think you need. Before you decide to end your recording session, listen to the track all the way through. Its easy to lose perspective when you are doing both the engineering and recording. Take notes as to possible EQ modifications you need to make, possible spots you need to punch in, and times and specifics about any performance or recording anomalies that you hear. This way you have a game plan of things to tackle when you return to the project. As you can see, there are a lot of important details to keep in mind when recording acoustic guitar on your own.  But along with those concerns and oversight measures comes an enpowering experience with lots of advantages.  Those include the freedom of recording any day and time youd like without a reservation, deposit, or committing to a minimum block of hours; the ability to leisurely listen and evaluate the quality of various takes;  experimenting as much as youd like with  altering the position of equipment and recording environment without oversight or added expense; using and comparing different types of mics and guitars, etc. So take your time, enjoy the experience, remember to have fun, and pat yourself on the back every once in a while.

GCSE poem analysis Kamikaze by Beatrice Garland

GCSE poem analysis Kamikaze by Beatrice Garland What is it about? The poem tells the story of a Japanese kamikaze pilot who failed to carry out his suicide mission and instead returned home in dishonour. The poem includes the perspective of his daughter, imagining how she told the story in turn to her own children. Kamikaze by Beatrice Garland Her father embarked at sunrise with a flask of water, a samurai sword in the cockpit, a shaven head full of powerful incantations and enough fuel for a one-way journey into history but half way there, she thought, recounting it later to her children, he must have looked far down at the little fishing boats strung out like bunting on a green-blue translucent sea and beneath them, arcing in swathes like a huge flag waved first one way then the other in a figure of eight, the dark shoals of fishes flashing silver as their bellies swivelled towards the sun and remembered how he and his brothers waiting on the shore built cairns of pearl-grey pebbles to see whose withstood longest the turbulent inrush of breakers bringing their father’s boat safe â€" yes, grandfather’s boat â€" safe to the shore, salt-sodden, awash with cloud-marked mackerel, black crabs, feathery prawns, the loose silver of whitebait and once a tuna, the dark prince, muscular, dangerous. And though he came back my mother never spoke again in his presence, nor did she meet his eyes and the neighbours too, they treated him as though he no longer existed, only we children still chattered and laughed till gradually we too learned to be silent, to live as though he had never returned, that this was no longer the father we loved. And sometimes, she said, he must have wondered which had been the better way to die. Form The poem has seven stanzas of six lines each, with an irregular, unrhymed rhythm. This freedom of form suits the poem as a drifting reminiscene that shifts its focus from one character to another and moves through time. The shape of the poem is then simply created by the writer's choice to tell or to stop telling details of the events and feelings. The second and third sentences both begin with 'And', helping this sense of a story verbally retold. Choice and consequence The pilot's choice not to spend his life by attacking his enemy may have saved lives, but he seems to have made new and more personal enemies out of his wife and family: 'they treated him | as though he no longer existed'. In fact if the poem didn't include the shift of perspective and time at the second sentence, we might not know that the pilot returned from his 'one-way' mission. This means that there is an air of mystery about his reasons: his daughter imagines why he may have turned around, but in truth his family simply do not know. On top of this, the fact that they never spoke about it means that she did not even know whether he regretted his choice to return. In fact, the daughter is sure that 'he must have wondered | which had been the better way to die.' Structure Kamikaze is made of only three sentences: notice the full stops after the description of the tuna ('the dark prince, muscular, dangerous.') and the two in the final lines. This gives the first part of the poem - the first five stanzas - a flowing unstoppability, like the train of thought that takes the character of the pilot from the fishing boats to the sea, to the fish and on to his memories. There is something inevitable and unstoppable about his choice for life instead of death. The poem begins as told about a woman ('her') and her family, but the poet uses italic font to mark when the poetry becomes the woman's own words. We can tell because of the shift of pronouns to include 'my mother' and 'we children'. As we saw earlier, this shift of perspective is effective in putting his behaviour in context and actually explaining his return. Imagery Beatrice Garland describes the fishes beneath the boats as 'a huge flag waved first one way | then the other in a figure of eight'. She turns the individual fish into a collective - a shoal - just as the individual can become lost in society, particularly in a society with very rigid codes or in wartime. The 'flag' that the pilot imagines in the water mocks the flags of nations at war: the fish are simply waving their flag for the joy of movement. In fact, this massive flag is much more significant, viewed from the air, than the tiny flags of the 'bunting' of the fishing boats. The poet also uses the senses to give a sense of immediacy and reality to her writing. She references the colours of the 'green-blue translucent sea', the 'pearl-grey pebbles', the 'silver fish' and so on, as well as describing the shapes of the shoals, the cairns and the boats. She references the 'salt-sodden' texture- or perhaps taste or smell - of the grandfather's boat. Memory The poem is written in a set of nested tenses. The first stanza takes place in the past, but then time moves forward when 'she thought, | recounting it later to her children' is placed in a continuing past tense. Then in turn, the pilot remembers his own father. When the daughter speaks her own mind, remembering what happened on her father's return, she explains how she also changed: 'till gradually we too learned | to be silent…' There is a palpable sadness about this memory, but also love and respect for the father, just as he sadly chose to value his family and peace over his own duty.

Why is English Pronunciation so Difficult

Why is English Pronunciation so Difficult Why is English pronunciation so difficult? One of the most confusing things about English is pronunciation. English has a total of 17tk spoken vowel sounds. This makes English  unusual, as most languages have 5-6. Spanish, for instance, has 5 vowel sounds, Mandarin 6, and Portuguese 9.English Pronunciation GuideAnother odd thing is that we  only use 5 letters  a,e,i,o and u to write all 17 sounds. Other languages, like Spanish or French, have 5 written vowels and 5 sounds.But what really makes English pronunciation difficult  is when your native language does not contain one of our vowel sounds. If youre language is like most, you have fewer vowel sounds than English has, which means there are going to be several sounds that youre going to have to learn how to make, but hear as well.A few years ago I did a language exchange with an Argentine friend. Wed speak for 45 minutes in English, then 45 in Spanish. At one point we started talking about pronunciation, and I explained that boo t and foot should have completely different sounds. My friend could not hear the difference between these two sounds, even when I said them one after the other. To an English speaker, there is a very clear difference.How do you learn how to produce a sound that you cant hear? Practice. Youll want to listen to how the sounds are made repeatedly, and get help making them. One of the most important parts of practicing English pronunciation is  learning  what you need to do  emphysically/em to make the sound. Learning exactly where your tongue and lips should be, and how wide open your mouth should be, can help produce that moment in which you suddenly find yourself making a sound you never knew existed. Its an exciting moment in learning!

However, in recent years, Qatar has been busy playing catch up with its neighboring countries as a hugely popular teaching destination for qualified, experienced teachers the world over. Given the fact that Qatar has less strict visa eligibility restrictions than the UAE, it’s hardly a surprise that over 500 expats now choose to move to Qatar on a daily basis. So what’s life really like for teachers working in Qatar, the world’s richest country? Well, we regularly get feedback from teachers we’ve placed in the region. The consensus is that teaching in Qatar is an unmissable chance to work abroad, earn a lot of money, travel, develop their teaching skills, gain life experience and meet new people.

To that end, the Qatar Foundation places a big emphasis on teachers’ continuing professional development, making Qatar a great place to truly hone your skills, knowledge and expertise as an educator, no matter your current experience level. What’s more, you’ll be working with students and parents whose first language isn’t English. This is a great way to improve your communication and cultural competence and grow as an educator. The skills you’ll gain teaching in Qatar will be an asset to you as you progress in your teaching career, whether internationally or back home. 4. The travel potential is huge And last - but by no means least - the travel opportunities in Qatar are pretty much endless. Travel around the region is easily done - The Middle East is a vast and fascinating region composed of so many rich cultures. Weekend trips to Dubai, for example, are only a short flight away. And even if you prefer to stay put and explore your new home country, you’ll get to enjoy year-round warm climate, blue skies and sunshine. Tax-free shopping, lots of restaurants, museums and outdoor activities in the desert and beaches of Qatar means you’ll never be short of entertainment options. If you’re a culture buff, you might already know that Qatar is home to a thriving art scene. Qatar’s attitude towards alcohol is also pretty relaxed, especially when compared to its neighbors in the region. Because gas also happens to be cheap in the region, running a car will likely be more affordable than in your home country. This means you have the freedom to get out to the desert for some dune bashing and camping whenever you want! Have more questions?

Children Excercise - Tutor Hunt Blog

Children Excercise Children Excercise Children ExcercisePrimary schoolsSurvey Shows Four out of five primary school children do not get recommended amount of exercise Public Health England, an executive agency of the Department of Health, has just published a report stating that less than a fifth of children are getting the recommended about of exercise by the time they leave primary school. Eustace de Sousa, Deputy Director in the team for Children, Young people and Families put the findings starkly: `Children`s physical activity levels in England are alarmingly low, and the drop in activity from the ages of five to twelve is concerning.` Being moderately active for at least 60 minutes a day is what the department recommend, but their findings suggests that most children are not achieving this. They have found that between the ages of five and seven, along with the eleven to twelve age group, there has been a 39% drop in children meeting this 60 minute unit. Only 28% of children aged between five and seven meet the target, but this drops to only 17% for the eleven to twelve age group. Public Health England has published these figures to coincide with a new Change4Life campaign, undertaken with Disney and Sport England. This campaign, supported by the NHS, aims to ensure all children meet their their 60 minutes a day of moderate activity. Ample research shows how important it is for children to have regular and sustained exercise. The NHS listen a number of reasons for children to exercise every day: Attention levels and focus are improved, facilitating learning at school Improves balance and hand eye coordination Social skills and general behaviour are improved, along with self confidence Develops the psyche, strengthening muscles and bones Improves sleep Helps maintain a healthy weight Improves health and fitness Enhances the mood, making them feel happier Children certainly seem to have boundless energy - my own experience has taught me that looking after a 6 year old child for only a few hours is more fatiguing than going to the gym! Only a few decades ago it was perfectly normal for parents to let their children run freely around the neighbourhood. I used to galavant around the local woods and parks with my friends for hours most evenings and weekends - when it was time for dinner my parents would ring a bell, summoning me back home. These days we are all too aware of the dangers that can befall our children, and as such we are more likely to curtail their excursions. Parents may restrict their children`s escapades to the home, or garden, if they are fortunate enough to own one. The Public Health England survey provided some interesting results as to why the level of activity in children has dropped. 29% of 11 years olds expressed a worry that they are not good enough at sports. Physical activities and games are of course naturally competitive, but maybe some children are not being given the encouragement to believe they can improve. According to the survey the primary motivation for children to be more active is having friends participating in the game - with 53% citing this as a reason for getting more exercise. 43% said having more activities to choose from would motivate them to have more daily exercise. The advent of portable touchscreen devices - phones and tablets - modern gadgets that many adults have to become acclimatized to, but which children seem to use with a natural fluency, may also be culpable in the increasingly sedentary lives many children are leading. Why run around playing energetic games with your friends, if you can enjoy online activities through the glass touchscreen while slouching on the couch? 2 years ago0Add a Comment
