What is a block?
A block is two or more courses with an integrated curriculum. Blocks are held in the field, at local elementary, middle and high schools. Applications are required for the high school block and should be submitted prior to the Advanced Registration period. Applications are available on the Department of Curriculum and Instruction website. Blocked courses are available in the Fall and Spring semesters only.
A block is one square or one T-Shirt. That size is either 12″ or 15 and contains one side of a tee (small tees usually fit into a 12″ block). If your graphic measures larger than 14 it cannot be used in your quilt unless you approve losing some of the edging. Several blocks make up a row and width of the quilt, then several rows make up the length. Example: 4 blocks x 5 blocks will make a twin size quilt approximately 70 wide x 87 long.
A “block” is a selected area of audio. This can be as little a sample, or as big as the entire recorded file. Blocks are often used to assign areas of audio to should be deleted, or to run the restoration filters on a specific area of a file. You can select a block of audio by holding down your Control Key (“Ctrl”) and left-clicking on the image of the waveform then moving your mouse. You should see the area that you are highlighting turn gray. Any gray section on the audio waveform defines a block. You can change the beginning and end point of a block after it has been selected by placing your mouse cursor over the boundary you wish to change. You should see it change to a “side-to-side” icon, which indicates that the position can be moved forward or backward. Simply left-click and drag the mouse to the new location for the boundary you’re working on (either front or back). • How do I select a block of audio to work on? • To select a block of audio, hold down the control key (“Ctrl”)
