A reference, or a references point, is the intensional use of one thing, a point of reference or reference state, to indicate something else. When reference is intended, what the reference points to is called the referent. General ExamplesSome general examples are:
References are indicated by sounds (like onomatopoeia), pictures (like roadsigns), text (like bibliographies), indexes (by number) and objects (a wedding ring); but endless concrete and abstract methods can be used intentionally. This includes methods that intentionally hide the reference from some observers, as in cryptography. The following sections give specific usages of reference in different subjects.

I am applying for a summer honor school, and I have to have three reference letters. All of them must highlight my "work, talent, desire, strengths, and weaknesses." I have a basic understanding of what these are asking for, but does work mean community service? I know what talents, strengths, weaknesses, and desire entails, but I'm a little fuzzy on work. I am also wondering if work would include something that shows dicipline (such as marching band) or something like FBLA. Asked by Wonka - Wed Jan 13 17:39:31 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. By work, they are trying to figure out if you can be committed to something long term, not necessarily a job. Writing about a school band or something of the sort that you've been doing for some time is a great idea. Don't forget to have the person writing the letter mention how the activity/job impacted you (made you more responsible, committed, etc.). Good luck!

Q. Given that a decibel is a logarithmic unit, if the reference pressure were the smallest that a human ear could hear, I believe (unless I'm mistaken) that would mean if the pressure equaled the reference pressure, 0 decibels would be virtually inaudible. However, in garageband, 0 decibels is clearly very clearly audible. If that is the case, what is the reference pressure used in such programs? Asked by Mr. Politics - Fri Aug 25 22:17:38 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. The reference intensity used in defining the decibel (in it's traditional sense) is 10^-12 W/m^2. You're right that 0 decibels should be virtually inaudible. However, the threshold of hearing varies with frequency. For example, at 30 Hz, your threshold of hearing is about 60 dB. But at ~3000 to ~5000 Hz, your threshold of hearing is actually negative dB, as low as maybe -5 dB. Don't know how helpful this is because I'm not familiar with garageband specifically, but I believe that by virtue of using the decibel to measure sound intensity, it is implied that the standard reference intensity is being used.
