    A rattle is a percussion beater that is attached to or enclosed by a percussion instrument so that motion of the instrument will cause the rattle to strike the instrument and create sound.

    Examples include:

  • The rivets of a sizzle cymbal.
  • The jingles of a tambourine.
  • The seeds inside a maraca.
  • The ball chain of a cabasa.
  • The snares of a snare drum.
  • Rattles may be the primary cause of the instrument's sound, as in the maraca, or they may modify its sound, as in the sizzle cymbal, or they may be used for both purposes depending on how it is played, as in the tambourine.

  • Ball chain surrounding the cabasa produces its sound when it is shaken

    Rattle (magazine)

    Rattle is an American poetry magazine, based in Los Angeles, California. Founded in 1994, the magazine is published by the Rattle Foundation.

    Established writers, including Philip Levine, Jane Hirshfield, Billy Collins, Sharon Olds, Gregory Orr, Patricia Smith, Anis Mojgani, have appeared in Rattle, although the magazine also prides itself on its publication of new and emerging poets.

    Poems from the magazine have been reprinted in The Best American Poetry and Pushcart Prize anthologies.

    According to the magazine's website:

    Rattle is pretty simple: We love poetry and feel that it's something everyone can enjoy. We look for poems that are accessible, that have heart, that have something to

    say.

    Each issue features a theme honoring a particular community of poets, such as teachers, slam poets, or, most recently, southern poets. Interviews with contemporary poets are also a staple of the quarterly publication. Though primarily dedicated to its print issues, the magazine's website features a variety of supplemental material, such as audio archives, and reviews of contemporary poetry.

  • HMS M30

    HMS M30 was a Royal Navy M29-class monitor of the First World War.

    The availability of ten 6 inch Mk XII guns from the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships in 1915 prompted the Admiralty to order five scaled down versions of the M15-class monitors, which had been designed to utilise 9.2 inch guns. HMS M30 and her sisters were ordered from Harland & Wolff, Belfast in March 1915. Launched on 23 June 1915, she was completed in July 1915.

    Upon completion, HMS M30 was sent to the Mediterranean. Whilst enforcing the Allied blockade in the Gulf of Smyrna, HMS M30 came under fire from the Austro-Hungarian howitzer battery 36 supporting the Turkish, and was sunk on 14 May 1916.
