olds into expression and reflects back. There is no separateness, just states of information. Most of our cultures include separateness in their design.

In the Consciousness mindset there is no judge. No doing wrong, no being a problem. There are only experiences crafted by sensations and feelings. There are choices. There is curiosity and questions and actions and reactions. There are experiments in doing. Being is always being expressed.

The only agenda on this level of being is to express. The form and thinking that we each encompass is one particular expression of Consciousness and is connected to all other expressions of Consciousness as it is Consciousness that surrounds us internally and externally. There is no difference between here and there. Just degrees of position and what comes in that particular perspective of placement.

Lets try a new approach to your new year resolutions. Stop with the fault. Appreciate how you are creating and that will clue you into what you are really expressing. It is your right of being. Your emotional terrain most often will be involved. Allow yourself, in your Heart Centered Awareness, to just let the information present to be present. If we each took the often negative more than positive judgments out of our quirks of individuality what would be possible? In this state potential is present. Patterns are holders too and what we come to find is that there are times when the holders could do with some dissolving or using the energies present to transcend themselves into something new.

We can fold, which has an inward collapsing feeling or we can unfold which has an opening energy to it. What will happen will happen in the moment. Just don't judge or direct as that is our silly sense of self in charge.  That is not heart centered awareness at play. That is the degree of Consciousness at play that we have labeled ego and its job is to protect whatever you have set as status quo.

So hold for a bit. Let things stop, appreciate and then fold or unfold. Maybe take in another card to play another hand.

And then truly enjoy the new year.

 have a mass between one and 10 Jupiter's - orbits, its gravitational wake disturbs the icy debris of the outer solar system, causing some of it to plunge toward the sun as comets.
    No one has yet directly observed a 10th planet, and there could still be another cause for the cluster of comets.
    What's surprising is just how far out there this supposed planet is. Both Murray and the University of Louisiana physicists put the planet in an orbit about 3 trillion miles - or half a light-year - from the sun. The nearest star is four light -years away.
    To put this distance in perspective, consider a miniaturized version of the solar system in which Earth is one inch from the sun. On this scale, Pluto, the ninth planet would be a bit more than a yard from the sun. The new planet, by contrast, would be a half - mile distant.
    At that great distance, the 10th planet would be too dim to see by current telescopes, although there is some hope that if it exists, the next generation of space-based infrared telescopes might be able to pick it up soon. As for the 11th planet, next generations will probably have the chance to discover it as well, as the Qur'an predicts it. And Allah knows best.

Elaborating The Principles OF GST Accounting

Before the goods and service tax came into practice, there were multiple taxes levied on every purchase that you made. After the GST came into its reigns, all such different taxes were aggregated and put under different kinds of GST. The people who does not know about the aggregation of taxes, misunderstood GST to be another of such separate tax levied on every good. After the introduction of GST there has been some whole some changes in the accounts.

The business owners should strictly abide by the rules and regulations set by GST. When GST was not answer practice industrial owners have to maintain separate accounts for excise duty, value added taxes, central sales tax and others. However with the complete change in the account keeping of taxes, a new range of accounts came into existence, featuring all the important elements of goods and service tax. GST tax return or the return simply is a document which contains detailed information regarding the income of a person paying the tax. The taxpayer needs to attach the document while he goes to pay the tax along with the GST. It is the taxpayers duty to let the administrative authorities know about his income in details, so that it can facilities an effective calculation of tax liabilities.

A person who is a registered dealer in some sort of goods needs to file his GST returns inclusive of all kinds of sales, purchases, input tax credit on the GST which has been paid on such purchases, and the output goods and service tax levied on the sales. There are certain prerequisites which are to be maintained for the proper care of accounts and records in any organization. Such accounts and records and maintained by the owner of the industrial organization or even the operator who is subject to every responsibility for the storage of goods. GST return filing online is made with the help of different software coming up these days. It has to be practised thrice in a month, and once separately and annually. Any regular businessman abides by such rules set by the GST regime and is subjected to do the return filing of GST, 37 times in a year.

The system is extremely easy and effective to handle because you just need to file the return once in a month and, the rest two consecutive filings are automatically calculated by the software. This ultimately cuts down the unnecessary worry of you and your vendors, for the updation of the return filing. The fact that you will have to pay tax to your girlfriend is justified by the word ‘return’, used a great many number of times when talking about the GST return filing. So it simply means based on the profit you have earned, you are paying tax to the government.

 As the name return filing might seem confusing to a few people, any website that you choose to file the GST tax return, has a detailed guide for the common folks in smooth and easy language. It is expected that one goes through the procedures as well as the instructions thoroughly before indulging in the process.

“Mrs. Human, the zest of life is not having a lemon pushed under your nose and taking a photo just to be able to write a blog about it. My blogs are islands of peace and tranquility where no feline has to have nightmares by seeing lemons. Have you ever seen a feline drinking water flavoured with lemon juice, or a feline biting a lemon for the pleasure of it?  No, we are allergic to lemons. You will never see a feline resting in the shade of a lemon tree.”

“Then ask my permission first of all. My feline groupies look forward to reading about life from a feline point of view and today they are confronted with a lemon meowmares. Even a banana would be better, but I suppose I should be thankful that it was not a cucumber.”

“What is wrong with a cucumber Tabby?”

“Don’t ask Mrs. Human, If you have not yet discovered the evil intentions of a cucumber to ruin the stability of a feline life, then there is no point. Every feline knows what a cucumber can do to reduce the zest in a feline life. And talking of zest it has nothing to do with lemons. It is what we felines need to get through our nine lives, less those that might have got lost on the way. It gives energy to maintain our sleeping sessions daily and supports us in licking our fur regularly. Not to mention the concentration we need when having lengthy staring sessions with walls.

For software systems that need to be reliable (compilers, database systems, whatever), the following seems like an attractive design methodology: 1. Formalize the specifications for the software's behavior 2. Validate that these specifications are really the intent 3. Create an efficient implementation 4. Verify that the implementation satisfies its specification In the talk, I will talk about using this methodology in the development of an XML processor in ACL2. Along the way, I'll digress about using exhaustive testing as a proof technique. This technique has been quite useful to me in this work, and may be more widely applicable. I'll also talk briefly about reasoning about state in order to be able to use the file input functions (read-byte$ and read-char$) from within ACL2 code that needs to be reasoned about and have its guards verified.

“I know Tabby, but you must admit they are good for you.”

“Yes something like lemons.”

Feline RDP #74: Feline Zest<|endoftext|>Date: Mon, 07 Feb 2005 12:36:55 -0600 From: Jared Davis Subject: This week in ACL2 Hi, At this week's ACL2 meeting, I'll be talking about using ACL2 as an environment for formal software development. For software systems that need to be reliable (compilers, database systems, whatever), the following seems like an attractive design methodology: 1. Formalize the specifications for the software's behavior 2. Validate that these specifications are really the intent 3. Create an efficient implementation 4. Verify that the implementation satisfies its specification In the talk, I will talk about using this methodology in the development of an XML processor in ACL2. Along the way, I'll digress about using exhaustive testing as a proof technique. This technique has been quite useful to me in this work, and may be more widely applicable. I'll also talk briefly about reasoning about state in order to be able to use the file input functions (read-byte$ and read-char$) from within ACL2 code that needs to be reasoned about and have its guards verified. Hope to see you there, Jared<|endoftext|>Statistics Research Report

Option 1: Adam
Option 2: Brian
Answer: 2<|endoftext|>. This leads to his encounter with the Krang, a weapons platform of an ancient race known as The Tar Aiym.

Along the way, he picks up a ship with an AI known as Teacher, who is almost like the surrogate parent in his life, tending to his every need. He briefly mind-links with an even larger Tar Aiym weapon, one that wanders through the galaxy. This, he comes to believe, is what they need to find in the battle to avert that “evil.” His mental powers keep making contact with something that tells him he is the “key” to stopping it, the only one who can.

Flinx is opposed by a group called the Null, who know of this coming disaster and worship it as a cleansing. They don’t believe he can do anything about it, but why take chances. They want him dead.

My Gripe with The Black Homophobe

Written by: Tsholofelo Ranyane  | Image By: Zanele Muholi

Homosexuality is as unnatural as blackness equals inferiority – to a bigot

I can distinctly remember the first time I went head-to-head with a black homophobe. It’s a strange thing to recall, especially distinctly, but the encounter was so profoundly upsetting that it towers above every other incident of bigotry I’ve ever come upon. Not to mention that the homophobe in question was my boyfriend at the time.

We had decided to flee the humdrum that comes with being two pitifully broke, young people living in Johannesburg and headed to a nearby hangout spot in Braamfontein. Tipsy on boxed wine and welling up with exuberance, we queued up for a night of mad, rhapsodic dancing. Upon entering, my ex noted that the place was crowded with homosexual men. It seemed an odd thing to note at the time, because in my tipsiness, all I could see was a continuous band of brown, carousing bodies.

Although the night was thickening in its vigour and festivity, witnessing my ex’s increasing discomfort caused a dwindling to my own exuberance. I’m not quite sure what led up to the argument (music and wine addle my brain) but I can clearly remember my face soaked in tears, my glass of wine trembling in my hand and my voice audibly reaching for the cosmos. Right there, amid the wild gyrating and budding hook-ups, was me, head-to-head with a man whose hatefulness was revealing itself like the sun of a thousand dawns. All the points raised in the argument are too lengthy to note here, but his one prevailing sentiment was that it was OK to hate gay people because of the unnaturalness of homosexuality. “God created man and woman to procreate, not two men or two women”, he’d say. His weak attempts at using religion and biology to justify his unwavering hatred for people because of their differentness took me back to the first time I read The Venus Hottentot:
If he were to let me rise up

from this table, I’d spirit

his knives and cut out his black heart,

seal it with science fluid inside

a bell jar, place it on a low

shelf in a white man’s museum

so the whole world could see

it was shrivelled, and hard,

geometric, deformed, unnatural.

These are the words poet Elizabeth Alexander imagined Sarah Baartman would have said on her autopsy table as Georges Cuvier dissected her lifeless body and, in the greater context of her troubled life, her humanness, in the name of science. She was taken from her native South Africa and shipped to London where she lived as a freak show for the bulk of her adult life. She was gawked at, proverbially tarred and feathered with her ‘otherness’ as her one great crime, while white fingers pointed at her in delighted mockery. Her exhibitions occurred at a time when scientific racism was frequently used as justification for white imperialism and even slavery. Scientific racism is the usage of scientific techniques to sanction the belief in racial inferiority and superiority.

I couldn’t help but wonder how he felt he was any different to the white man of yore who felt justified in placing people like him and me on a spectrum of existence somewhere between civilised European and barbaric ape – somewhere between human and animal.

In his thesis, naturalist Georges Cuvier compared Baartman’s genitals to those of orang-utans and ‘her vivacity when alive to the quickness of monkeys’.

Cuvier is one of many scientists of the 18th and 19th century that likened Africans to apes and used their respective studies as proof of a natural racial hierarchy. Along with misinterpreted Bible verses, scientific ‘findings’ were used to perpetuate the notion of innate, black inferiority and to justify oppression.

And as my ex was harping on about the unnaturalness of homosexuality and alluded to God’s disapproval as proof of homosexual inferiority and heterosexual superiority, I couldn’t help but wonder how he felt he was any different to the white man of yore who felt justified in placing people like him and me on a spectrum of existence somewhere between civilised European and barbaric ape – somewhere between human and animal. He is an educated man; he knows that wherever bigotry thrives, the air is drained of freedom and an entire people are made to suffocate. He knows of the transatlantic slave trade; of apartheid; that his very parents were oppressed at the hands of bigots who held the belief in this spectrum so dearly. He sees how the effects of this oppression has trickled down to his welfare and will trickle down to the welfare of his future offspring. How is he saying gay people are “morally inferior” any different to Dudley Kidd describing Africans as “hopelessly deficient”? He uses Leviticus 18:22 as ammunition against gay people while the ammunition used against the Africans of old was Genesis 9:20-27 – both bullets in the same barrel of prejudice used to wage terror against anyone non-white, non-straight, and non-man.

And herein lies my gripe with the black homophobe. He will complain about the wage gap between him and his white counterparts , bemoan poor service received because of the colour of his skin, is riled when he is called kaffir but has no reservations about yelling “don’t touch me, faggot” when accidently stroked by a gay man. He tries to glean sympathy from the world because “being black in a white man’s world is so hard!” while the gay man and lesbian woman who live under his foot are constantly brutalised. I will not venture into which struggle is ‘harder’, but my humanity will not allow hatred to fester in places where compassion is needed, without raising my voice about it. Black homophobe, I will tell you what you are so fond of telling your white neighbour: CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE! Examine your history and dig into the depths of your humanity to garner empathy for your fellow marginalised man. Check yourself.

What is an NFT? A fad or here to stay?

In this article we explore the world of None-Fungible Tokens and how you can benefit from this latest digital “craze”.

The fact that the digital economy is growing so fast means that we can now create value and substantial profit through our creativity; the current technological landscape has created more opportunities for people like you and me to align our chakras, unleash our ultimate creative selves, and possibly make millions of rands overnight. It’s probably less complicated than boiling an egg or more complex than baking your own croissants while reading a copy of “POPI act for dummies”…But before you get excited and start manifesting your profound piece of digital art, allow me to try and simplify/explain what NFTs are, how they work, and ideas of how you can benefit from them.

The latest buzzword seems so confusing and complicated, lucrative and intimidating…more cryptic than crypto and even more perplexing than blockchain, but I assure you that these terms are really simple, well kind of.

An NFT is a Non-Fungible Token, but what does fungible mean in the first place? Let’s get into it.

Fungible VS Non-fungible?

Fungible is an adjective that refers to something that cannot be distinguished from another thing, it is interchangeable, substitutable or uniform; For example, If I lend you a R10 note and you pay me back as either two R5 coins or another R10 note I won’t mind because it still has the same value as the R10 I gave you.

In the same way, one bar of gold must be tradable or exchangeable for another bar of gold, or two bars that are half the size and weight. Still with me? Great!

Examples


 this isn't Undertaker's final match.

I know he's getting up there in age, but I don't want the last memory to be win or a loss to Triple H.

I think his last match should be a loss to guy that's going to have the proverbial rocketship strapped to his back as WWE will push him to the moon.

Undertaker should pass the torch in his final match.

It's almost like an unwritten rule in wrestling to do so.

Hulk Hogan did it with The Rock at WrestleMania X-8.

I believe Undertaker should do the same.

Undertaker's last match definitely should not be a loss to Triple H, a guy that has his legacy set and is preparing to take over the wrestling business one day.

<|endoftext|>Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

When I was a little girl, I spent a lot of time with my grandpa. During the school year, I would spend the afternoons at his house, and in the summer, we were together a lot. One thing I do remember is that he always had a patch of rhubarb growing in the back yard. I can't remember him baking much, except for a couple delicious rhubarb desserts, Rhubarb Cobbler and Rhubarb Crumb Pie.

  One time, I remember him making Rhubarb Cobbler with me, teaching me each and every step along the way. It wasn't until after it came out of the oven that we realized we had used baking soda instead of baking powder! No wonder it didn't rise properly. However, I'm pretty sure we still devoured it.   Today, I'm sharing with you an adaptation of my grandpa's Rhubarb Crumb Pie with the addition of strawberries. Nothing is quite like the combination of strawberries and rhubarb! If you've never tried it, you're in for a treat. The sweet strawberries balance the tangy rhubarb quite perfectly, if I do say so myself. Top it off with a crumb topping and you've almost got the perfect dessert. All that's needed is a scoop of vanilla ice cream!     Start with the fruit - 2 cups of diced strawberries and 2 cups of diced rhubarb. If you can't find fresh rhubarb, frozen works just fine! Just be sure to thaw it and squeeze out the extra moisture.

    Combine the fruit with a little lot of sugar (this is not for low-sugar diets!), a bit of flour, and some eggs to hold it all together. Pour it into the crust, and then make your crumb topping.

  For the topping, combine a bit of flour and brown sugar and cut in the cold butter until it's crumbly. You can use two knives, a pastry cutter, or even just rub the butter with your fingers until it becomes crumbly. (Which in my opinion is the easiest.)

  Spread the topping over the crust, and after 50 minutes in the oven, you have pie perfection!

  My recommendation? Serve it warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

  Pie and ice cream... life can't get much better. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________

San Francisco Chronicles The Japaneseâ€™s Journey to San Francisco After days of rumors, the Japanese Embassy has finally arrived in the city of San Francisco. People were ecstatic to see the Kanrin Maru arriving to the shores. There were 77 samurais aboard the Kanrin Maru; they were supposed to arrive before the Japanese embassy as a vanguard. The Kanrin Maru was followed by a US ship called the USS Powhatan on March 29 carrying the Japanese embassy. She docked the harbor at 9:30 am. It took about two weeks for the Powhatan to arrive in San Francisco from Kanagawa, Japan. The Powhatan was scheduled to make a direct trip to San Francisco, but had to make a stop at Honolulu due to the shortage of coal.

The Japanese Embassy aboard the Powhatan was welcomed with a fifteen gun salute. The Powhatan returned the salute, but the captain of the Powhatan was injured during the firings of the cannons. Although the American Navy was known for their accuracy, the fact that the captain was injured was a pure coincidence. During the first two days of their arrival, the Japanese Embassy was confined to their hotel rooms due to terrible weathers. On April 2nd, they were visited by the English, French, and the Sardinian consuls and also the Secretary Governor of California. Afterwards the embassy visited the mayor and there was a proper celebration to welcome the Japanese embassy .On the following day, the Japanese ambassador gave a beautiful katana to the mayor to represent our friendship. Two days later, the Japanese left and returned to their journey to D.C. With a gratifying experience, we bid farewell to the Japanese.

How can we allow this to go on anymore? Slavery is wrong! The southern states needs to stop this racist thinking. Why do we need slavery? There is no reason for slavery to exist. The south's economy is based on cash crops and relying on slave labor because they want to save money and get cheap labor. That is not fair for the Africans that slavers captured they had their own family back in Africa and they were forcefully taken away from their family. That is not right or just, that is a crime against humanity. The way the people in the south treat the slaves will result in a rebellion. The southern statesâ€™ economy will be destroyed and United States will face an economic crisis. Do you want that to happen?

Trading with Japan Good or Bad? Should the Japanese and Americans open up trade? Some people believe that trade is a bad idea because some trades are not as genuine as they seem. However, I still believe that the Japanese and the Americans should go through with this trading agreement. This agreement not only helps strengthen our relations with the Japanese, but it can also help us strengthen our society with new technology. Who knows what can we accomplish together? I believe this is the next step for the future growth of the new world as every country will soon unite.

The Japanese will benefit from trading with us and the Europeans. Right now, their country is not modernized because they do not have the technology that we have. It is critical for them that they catch up with the rest of us, or other countries might try and conquer them. Though, some Japanese citizens do not want to trade with us because they think have all the resources they need in their country. The Japanese military will be strong if we trade with them we can help them modernize into a strong country The Japanese may think they are fine at the moment, but happens if

a country as powerful as Britain takes over? They can see that China was beaten badly by the British during the Opium War because the British had the latest technology. So as far as I can see, this trade will benefit both U.S and Japan. This will leave everything status quo

 with a win over Undertaker.

I sincerely hope that this isn't Undertaker's final match.

I know he's getting up there in age, but I don't want the last memory to be win or a loss to Triple H.

I think his last match should be a loss to guy that's going to have the proverbial rocketship strapped to his back as WWE will push him to the moon.

Undertaker should pass the torch in his final match.

It's almost like an unwritten rule in wrestling to do so.

During the first two days of their arrival, the Japanese Embassy was confined to their hotel rooms due to terrible weathers. On April 2nd, they were visited by the English, French, and the Sardinian consuls and also the Secretary Governor of California. Afterwards the embassy visited the mayor and there was a proper celebration to welcome the Japanese embassy .On the following day, the Japanese ambassador gave a beautiful katana to the mayor to represent our friendship. Two days later, the Japanese left and returned to their journey to D.C. With a gratifying experience, we bid farewell to the Japanese.

How can we allow this to go on anymore? Slavery is wrong! The southern states needs to stop this racist thinking. Why do we need slavery? There is no reason for slavery to exist. The south's economy is based on cash crops and relying on slave labor because they want to save money and get cheap labor. That is not fair for the Africans that slavers captured they had their own family back in Africa and they were forcefully taken away from their family. That is not right or just, that is a crime against humanity. The way the people in the south treat the slaves will result in a rebellion. The southern statesâ€™ economy will be destroyed and United States will face an economic crisis. Do you want that to happen?

Trading with Japan Good or Bad? Should the Japanese and Americans open up trade? Some people believe that trade is a bad idea because some trades are not as genuine as they seem. However, I still believe that the Japanese and the Americans should go through with this trading agreement. This agreement not only helps strengthen our relations with the Japanese, but it can also help us strengthen our society with new technology. Who knows what can we accomplish together? I believe this is the next step for the future growth of the new world as every country will soon unite.

The Japanese will benefit from trading with us and the Europeans. Right now, their country is not modernized because they do not have the technology that we have. It is critical for them that they catch up with the rest of us, or other countries might try and conquer them. Though, some Japanese citizens do not want to trade with us because they think have all the resources they need in their country. The Japanese military will be strong if we trade with them we can help them modernize into a strong country The Japanese may think they are fine at the moment, but happens if

a country as powerful as Britain takes over? They can see that China was beaten badly by the British during the Opium War because the British had the latest technology. So as far as I can see, this trade will benefit both U.S and Japan. This will leave everything status quo.

Answer: 1<|endoftext|> people how to feel and what to think, perhaps it is mostly instead to design meaningful spaces where users can reflect on these experiences. We wondered how to build capacities to create these spaces as our conversation centered around what “human-centered design” truly means. If “universal” means to include all humans, then what is the difference between “universal design” and “human-centered design”?

Sarah: For me, the short answer is no. I feel like people are always designing for a specific thing, and by having that, you’d have a target audience. Having a target audience in of itself already entails that there’ll always be people outside that intended audience.

Alison: I think “universal design” sounds good in theory, but I don’t know if it’s necessary. Universal design is impossible because it’s impossible to truly understand all humans.

Sarah: The goal is to at least try to be as cognizant of inclusivity in design as possible, since it could potentially create unintended consequences by not doing so.

Alison: And the people who face these consequences usually aren’t the designers — they are the ones who fall short of the term “universal” in people’s minds.

Sarah: Yeah, like mentioned in our Design and Social Justice lecture, sometimes people subconsciously design with straight white males in mind due to the pre-existing mental schemas they have.

Alison: This is something we also talked about in my Environments studio track; as we were prototyping interactions that required users to touch the interface with both hands, my professor asked how a disabled person who has one arm could interact instead. No matter how hard you might try to be inclusive, there are always different people to account for.

From this discussion and the lectures in class, we both agreed that it’s our role to be mindful of inclusivity, even though it’s impossible to be 100% inclusive of everyone’s experiences and worldviews. Moreover, though inclusivity is obvious in design, we also agreed that we were definitely reminded of being aware of the faults in not keeping track of our personal internal biases. We decided that human-centered design doesn’t mean designing for everyone; it means actively listening and designing for any human in a respectful and flexible way — knowing that even if we cannot relate, we will try to understand. This way, we can become designers who will create spaces that are increasingly safe and meaningful for more people to experience.

I’ve got 20 common English contractions to practise with you today! l will teach you how to pronounce it’s, don't, you’ve, weren’t, ain't, aren't, haven’t, wasn't, hadn't and many more – so that you sound more natural when you speak English!

Contractions are shortened forms of English words, such as:
☑ don’t
☑ it’s
☑ aren’t
☑ they’ve
☑ ain’t
☑ hasn’t

They are extremely common in spoken English, and common in informal written English too. 📝 Learning to *hear* and *use* English contractions is one of the best ways to improve your listening skills and sound more natural when you speak in English!

So that is what we are going to do today!

I’ve included some conversation practice at the end of this lesson – so you can speak with me! We’ll practise using these contractions fluently, in a useful, everyday conversation between friends. 👯

Well hey there I'm Emma from mmmEnglish. In this pronunciation lesson today I'm going to teach you how to pronounce I've, where, it's, didn't and many more of the most common contractions in spoken English.

And at the end you and I are going to practise speaking together. We'll practise using these contractions in short dialogue back and forth in a regular conversation together.

If you want to jump past the pronunciation work and you want to practise speaking fluently with me in this dialogue you can jump over to that timestamp there but I recommend that you spend some time with me now warming up your mouth muscles and practising with me first.

If your goal is to sound relaxed and natural when you speak English you have got to practise with me in this lesson.

Are you ready?

So what is a contraction?

A shortened form of a word where there are fewer sounds spoken. For example, the word have can be heard in an English sentence just as ‘ve. And most English contractions involve auxiliary or modal verbs and these are often unstressed parts of a sentence.

So the sounds change and they reduce, they become lower in pitch, harder to hear.

You'll hear contractions used by native English speakers all the time when they speak or maybe you won't because they're actually harder to hear and a little harder to process but you can also see them when they're written in informal English and you can usually recognise them because they have that little apostrophe.

Which one of these contractions is hardest for you to pronounce or is there another that you find really difficult? Let me know down in the comments.

So in this lesson we're going to go through all of the contractions that are made by auxiliary verbs: do, have, and be. And there are plenty of them.

Let's start with do, the auxiliary verb in the simple tense. But you'll only hear it spoken as a contraction when it's used in its negative form, do not, which is don't. There are two things that I want you to notice here.

One is that vowel sound changes.

Don't is different to do. Don't.

The second is that stop T which is really, really common. Instead of hearing that T sound fully aspirated with that release of air to make the sound, the stop T   stops it short before the air is released. It's like you catch the sound. Listen to the difference. Don't.

I'm releasing the air. Don't or don't.

Sometimes my students say to me “But Emma I can't hear that T, it's not there!”

That's not true because without that stopped T sound, that nasally sound continues for longer. Don't. Compare that to don't.

So that sound is stopped short, that's your stopped T sound. I probably could keep talking about that for a while but it's really, really common to hear that stopped T in negative contractions and in many other everyday English words that end in a T sound. Practise it with me.

Don't. I don't want to go.

What about does not?

It is way more common to hear native English speakers say doesn't.

And again you can hear that stopped T sound, right? You've also got two syllables there, one of them is stronger than the other. Can you hear it? Doesn't.

That first syllable. We've got a few tricky consonant sounds there at the end so you know if you're feeling a little bit stuck here, a little bit tongue-tied, why don't you just pause for a minute and just focus on the end of that word?

I mean really this word is often spoken so quickly that it sounds like So really just loosen up the muscles in your mouth.

Don't get stuck trying to be really precise. Doesn't.

  • He doesn't play football.
  • It doesn't matter.

And then we have our past tense form, did not, which is didn't. You're right, didn't. That first D is stronger than the second one, didn't.

There's that cluster again. Again I'm using that stop T sound because that's the most comfortable for me. You can choose whether you want to use the aspirated at the end or not. In my accent, it's very very common to hear the stop T.

Are you ready to practise with me?

  • I don't like it.
  • We don't eat meat.
  • They don't bother me.
  • She doesn't want to.
  • It doesn't matter.
  • You didn't call.
  • He didn't believe me.

Okay now let's look at the verb be. So in the present tense it conjugates to am, is and are.

Be is a little different because it can be contracted when it's a main verb as well as when it's an auxiliary verb.

  • Here's the paper.
  • He's coming.

So here the be verb is the main verb in our sentence and here it's the auxiliary verb. It's making the continuous tense. There are many be contractions to get through so I want to go through them one by one, practise out loud with me. I
