| | Second - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The length of the second was based on 1/86,400 of the mean solar day between the years 1750 and 1892. | | | This made the second 1/86,400 of a solar day. | | | Reference to the year 1900 does not mean that this is the epoch of a mean solar day of 86,400 seconds. |

| | Also in opposition to the generally consistent world that Second Sight offers are the feather-like wooden crates and furniture that are sent toppling across the room with even the most casual of touches. | | | Second Sight is a quality title, don't doubt that. | | | Riding the back of the psi-power bandwagon, Second Sight places you in control of sceptic scientist John Vattic, who in a rather unoriginal fashion awakes to discover that he's lost his memory. |

| | The second superpower can put pressure on politicians around the world to stiffen their resolve to confront the US government in any ways possible. | | | Finally, where participation in democracy in the first superpower feels remote to most citizens, the emergent democracy of the second superpower is alive with touching and being touched by each other, as the community works to create wisdom and to take action. | | | And this is where the second superpower is a part of the solution. |

| | Minor third - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | An augmented second is a musical interval larger than a major second. | | | Augmented seconds occur in many scales, most importantly the harmonic minor and its various modes. | | | It is thus either a quarter tone sharp from the major as is found in the quarter tone scale and Arab music and tuning, or a minor second larger, as found in twelve tone equal temperament, and thus enharmonically equivalent to a minor third. |

| | They contend that to omit the introductory clause is to distort completely the Second Amendment’s meaning. | | | Similarly, Carl Bogus argues that the only purpose of the Second Amendment was to protect state’s rights to use their militia to suppress slave insurrections—although Bogus too is vague about exactly how the Second Amendment allegedly restricted Congressional powers. | | | But Supreme Court opinions dealing with the Second Amendment come from almost every period in the Court’s history, and almost all of them assume or are consistent with the proposition that the Second Amendment is an individual right. |

| | Intervals |
| | This means that the interval of a ninth is equivalent to the interval of a second, displaced by an octave. | | | A second is the interval between adjacent letters like A-B (remember that by convention B-A would be a seventh because it is an ascending interval, B as the lower note). | | | This means that C-D sharp is some kind of second, even though the interval may not sound like a second, while the interval between the same actual keys on the keyboard, respelled C-E flat, is considered a third. |

| | Intervals |
| | There are two intervals that are missing: the single half-step (a minor second) and the interval of 6 half steps between the P4 and P5 which is called the tritone (because it consists of 3 (tri) whole steps (tones)). | | | Seconds are easy: they are right next to each other. | | | Just as the pitches are enharmonically related, intervals that contain the same number of half-steps are referred to as enharmonically equivalent intervals. |

| | (A "tone" is the size of a major second, and a "semitone" that of a minor second.) Alternatively, the interval of the tritone may be called an augmented fourth or a diminished fifth, depending on the musical context. | | | (Besides the second and third, intervals that can be minor or major are the sixth and the seventh.) Some intervals, however, usually do not vary, and are considered to have one default quality or interval size, which is called perfect. | | | The next larger intervals are a minor second, a major second, a minor third, a major third and so on. |

| | Chromatic Chords |
| | Although the origin of the augmented sixth chords is in the minor mode, they are used freely in major in the 19th century. | | | The characteristic interval of the augmented 6th is formed between the bottom note of the IV6 (^6 in minor) and this new note that is a semitone below ^5. | | | This chord most often progresses to the dominant, or the cadential 6/4, and then V. It is theoretically possible to place an augmented sixth chord on other scale degrees, but this procedure is rare and limited to late 19th century music. |
