English Memes - The Power of Memes

English Memes - The Power of MemesMany people are not aware of the English Meme, a phrase coined by Ph.D student Michael Gordon. What is an English Meme? An English Meme is a short phrase that has been associated with a variety of situations. Because these phrases are so brief, they tend to be one-liners, or even phrases that are too short to be completed in full, that people will want to share with their friends or just make their own.One such English Meme is the big rubber chicken. The English Meme was created by some British kids. It consists of a guy sitting on a truck with two legs and two arms holding a small chicken. When he jumps off the truck, he throws the chicken through the air like a grenade, but then has the chance to take the chicken back inside and eat it. The name 'Rubber Chicken' is an English Meme that gained popularity in Britain during the 1980s.The 'Big Pump' is another English Meme. In this case, a man lifts a car up on his shoulders so it sits on a driveway, w here he drives over it and then slams the car into the ground. The English Meme refers to the scenario of a very long car being slowly driven over by someone who knows how to drive a stick shift.Another English Meme comes from an incident at one of the Downing Street dinner parties. A guy pulled a gun on an important person in the government because he was displeased with the party's choice of food. The gun failed to work, so the guy taunted the person in government with a Chicken English Muffin in his pocket. This was interpreted as a gun. A few days later, the story went around the world.Another English Meme is 'A Tale of Two Towers.' The story goes that a large turkey, which has been roaming free, was approached by two men on a pier. The two men made the turkey their target by putting its head between their knees and licking its beak. The turkey fell to the ground and the men then decapitated it. Because of this, many people think that turkey meat is a good source of protein.The 'Blondie' is another English Meme. An English Meme is a short phrase that usually describes a situation or a person. The phrase 'Blondie' is usually used to describe the British army, or the blonde and blue army. Sometimes, the phrase is used by students in a school. Although there are other meanings for the phrase, the school that uses it usually interprets it as 'Blondie is a really nice blonde.'English Memes is commonly used in a social media context. With the explosion of Facebook and Twitter, English Memes can be used to describe a situation without using the words 'big,' 'orange,' 'skunk,' or 'giant squid.' Sometimes, the word 'Meme' is used by social media users who post about events that have already happened. This is often referred to as a 'Post-Meme,' or as a post-event meme.English Memes is like funny sayings, where people can get quick and witty insights from a situation without the fear of being misunderstood. This type of content is very popular with students and those looking for a quick laugh. English Memes, in one way or another, is both familiar and new to English learners. Whether or not English learners are familiar with English Memes, it is safe to say that English Memes is gaining popularity every day.

Exam revision audits

Exam revision audits Whether you're doing GCSE's, A-levels, Key Stage exams or degree exams, the finishing line is in sight. Even though you're nearly there, there is still some revision work that you can undertake to help boost your chances of success. Around this time in the exam and revision process, it is really useful to do a kind of audit of your brain to check what's gone in and what hasn't. If you identify something that really hasn't gone in then you have time to work on it, especially if you know what you do understand as you can reasonably stop working on this topic. For example: you find that you know your English set texts extremely well, but you're unsure on French verbs. An audit allows you to scale down on your English set text revision (because you're comfortable with it) in order to make more room for French verbs. So, how to audit? A good way is to get together with a friend and test each other on the key points in teach topic. Write questions for each other based on past exam papers and any pointers that your teacher or tutor has given you. As you and your friend test each other, make a note of what you're getting right and wrong. Looking at the results once you've finished the exercise should help you to identify where the gaps are.

10 Problems Only Bass Players Will Understand

10 Problems Only Bass Players Will Understand Megan L. Dont let anyone tell you the bass is easier than a regular guitar just because it has less strings! Bass guitar teacher  Kevin S.  shares the unique challenges you face as you learn bass guitar 1) Capos are Misleading Victor Wooten, Photo by Alexandre Janini Any bassist who has regularly played with a guitarist who  uses a capo has discovered that this simple tool can be confusing to deal with at first. This is a where good transposing skills come in handy, especially if the guitarist is referring to the chords they are playing by shape. For example, you may hear “It’s a D chord” when in fact the guitarist is playing a ‘D’ chord shape with capo on fret 2, resulting in a E chord. 2) The Need for Compression Kim Gordon, Photo by NRK P3 Compression is an effect used in live performances as well as on studio recordings that minimizes the dynamic range of an instrument. Compression is most often used on drums, vocals, and bass. Many bass players struggle with the uncompressed nature of the instrument. Some notes are inherently louder or softer than others, which can make producing a consistent volume challenging. 3) Heavy and Big Nate Mendel, Photo by Scott Barlow Lower frequencies require larger instruments to produce them, and larger amplifiers and speakers to push them. Not only is the bass guitar longer and heavier than the guitar, but bass amps tend to be larger and heavier as well. There are many ways you can counteract this physical issue. Short-scale bass guitars, chambered bodies, and wide, heavy-duty straps can help manage the weight of the instrument. In regards to amplifiers and speakers, neodymium speakers, class-D amplifiers, and casters or wheels are great options for reducing weight. 4) Soloing Challenges Jack Bruce, Photo by Heinrich Klaffs In addition to the creative and technical challenges of improvisation, soloing on the bass comes with some acoustical challenges as well. Unlike a guitar solo, whose notes reside on top of the mix, a bass solo has to punch through the mix, since the instrument itself resides in the low end of the frequency spectrum. Soloing on the bass can be a frustrating endeavor if the rest of the band doesn’t come down in volume to make room for the soloist. Depending on the style, it can also be difficult to produce the necessary volume to compete with ambient noise of the venue. As luck would have it, the bartender often fires up the blender when its time for the bass solo. 5) Playing with Drums Geddy Lee, Photo by Nick Arguably the most important relationship between instruments in a band is the relationship between the bass and the drums. When the bass and drums are tight and working together, the effect is fantastic. However, playing with an inconsistent drummer, or even worse, a drummer who doesn’t listen, can be a frustrating endeavor. If you find yourself in this situation, it is best to take a step back and simplify. If you are struggling to make a good connection with a drummer, relax, focus on beat one, and build from there. 6) Bass Strings Flea, Photo by Stephen Eckert Compared to guitar strings, bass strings are longer and thicker, and as a result, more expensive. A typical set of 6 guitar strings will cost around $10, whereas a set of 4 bass strings will cost around $25. 5- and 6-string sets will cost even more. Fortunately, bass strings do not need to be changed as much as guitar strings, but it can still be frustrating to see your guitarist friends leave the music store with more cash in their pockets. 7) 4-, 5-, and 6-string Basses John Paul Jones, Photo By Craig One challenge facing bassists is choosing a proper number of strings. The standard bass guitar has four strings, but five and six string models have become increasingly popular over the past few decades. Choosing a proper number of strings is purely subjective, and is mostly affected by what styles you are interested in playing. For country, blues, jazz, and rock music, a four string bass will work great. For other styles, such as metal, fusion, latin, and solo bass playing, a five or six string bass may be preferable. 8) Building Calluses Rob Pope, Photo by starbright31 The bass guitar is a physically-demanding instrument. The first parts of your body that will suffer heavily from playing the bass are your fingertips, especially if you play fingerstyle. The best advice I can offer is to focus on multiple, short practice sessions instead of long ones. This will allow your fingers time to harden without risking blowing through a callus altogether, requiring you to start building from scratch. 9) Using Effects Marcus Miller, Photo by Guillaume Laurent Effects are not meant for just guitar. They sound great on bass too! However, there are some special considerations when applying effects to bass. The most important consideration is frequency-based effects, most notably wah-wah. Effects that are designed for guitar will at times not work on bass, simply because they are designed for the frequency range on the guitar, and therefore do not effect notes in the lower range of the bass very well, if at all. Distortion, delay, and  reverb can all sound great on bass, but if not used properly, they can muddy things up quickly. 10) Not in the Spotlight Weezer, Photo by starbright31 Of all the instruments in a standard band, the bass is the one that goes unnoticed most often. This is not because it is unimportant, but because it is so foundational. To the average listener, the bass is certainly there, but is not as discernible as a guitar, voice, or horn. It can be frustrating to feel like the audience isn’t aware of your invaluable contribution to the group. Remember though, that without you there, the audience would certainly notice something lacking! Despite the challenges, its definitely worthwhile to learn bass guitar! A great bassline can make a song funky, heavy, or just plain danceable! Find your bass guitar teacher today and start playing the bass!

Surface Area of Rectangle Tutors

Surface Area of Rectangle Tutors A rectangle is a closed 2-dimensional geometric figure and it consists of 4 sides and 4 their respective angles. In a rectangle, the opposite sides are parallel to each other and they are also equal in measure. Each angle in a rectangle is equal to 90 and all the 4 angles are equal to each other. A rectangle has 2 dimensions because it has length and width as its measurements. Surface area of a rectangle is the area of the rectangle, and it is equal to the product of its length and its width. Example 1: What is the area of a rectangle whose length is 10m and width is 8m? Given: length of the rectangle, l = 10m Width of the rectangle, w = 8m In order to calculate the area of a rectangle, we can use its area formula. Area of a rectangle, A = (length) * (width) Applying the above formula, we get: Area of the rectangle, A = (10m)* (8m) This gives: Area, A = 80m2 Therefore, area of the given rectangle is 80m2. Example 2: What is the area of a rectangle whose length is 6m and width is 5m? Given: length of the rectangle, l = 6m Width of the rectangle, w = 5m In order to calculate the area of a rectangle, we can use its area formula. Area of a rectangle, A = (length) * (width) Applying the above formula, we get: Area of the rectangle, A = (6m)* (5m) This gives: Area, A = 30m2 Therefore, area of the given rectangle is 30m2.
