B is the second letter in the Latin alphabet. Its name in English (pronounced /ˈbiː/) is spelled bee, plural bees. It is used to represent a variety of bilabial sounds (depending on language), most commonly a voiced bilabial plosive.

History

‹B›started as a pictogram of the floorplan of a house in Egyptian hieroglyphs or the Proto-Sinaitic alphabet. By 1050 BC, the Phoenician alphabet's letter had a linear form that served as the beth.

Typography

The modern lowercase ‹b› derives from later Roman times, when scribes began omitting the upper loop of the capital.

‹B› is often confused with the visually similar Germanß› which stands for ‹ss›.

What is the difference a B-flat trumpet and a C trumpet?
Q. I want to be in a Drum and Bugle corps like my family members were. I am trying out for the the Citations in Burlington MA. , and they use a B-flat trumpet and I play a C. What is the difference between the two? Are the fingerings different for the notes? Will the B-flat be Higher or Lower. Will it be more difficult to play? Any answers would be cool.

A. When you play a C scale on your C trumpet, it's the same pitch of if you were playing it on a piano. If you play a C scale on a Bb trumpet, it will sound like a Bb scale on a piano. So, at first, it can be a little bit tricky, as the sound that you expect to go out of the trumpet will be 1 tone lower. It's sure gonna needs some training to get use to that. For the fingering, it's exactly the same thing. In North america, most of the student use Bb trumpets. In Europe, they tend to be on the C side, likely a cultural thing. C Trumpet are only used in symphonic and solo works here, in Canada (same as in USA, i guess)

What's the difference between Hep B, and Hep C and A?
Q. Which is the more dangerous and/or terminal and if someone has Hep B, what is their life expectancy? How easy is it to contract Hepatitis? Can you get it by just spending a lot of time with that person?
Asked by Sela - Sat Oct 31 20:23:12 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Hepatitis A is contracted through ingesting contaminated food or water. It resolves on its own with no major future consequences. Hep B is contracted through sexual contact and blood. There is a vaccine to prevent transmission. It can cause liver disease. Hepatitis C is contracted through blood contact and can lead to liver failure and cancer. There is no vaccine or cure. There are treatments.
