Roxton 1 Evan Roxton Hadley English 2H Per. 6 14 August 2017 Sembene, Ousmane. God's Bits of Wood. Heineman Publishers (Pty) Ltd, 1960. Set in the 1940’s Sembene Ousmane 1923-2007 Key Quotations “Real misfortune is not just a matter of being hungry and thirsty; it is a matter of knowing that there are people who want you to be hungry and thirsty” This quote sets the stage for the whole book showing that the reason to be angry is not simply that there are no resources, but that they are being kept from the indigenous people. The whole struggle of the story comes from people fighting against the management even through hunger. This quote shows that the management is willing to deny critical resources to stop the strike. "The faces seemed to have lost all trace of personality. As if some giant eraser had rubbed out their individual traits…” At this point, the…

Every bit is sent one after another and there are no gaps in transmission. Maintaining the timing is essential because there is no start and stop bits and no gaps. The accuracy is depending on the receiver to keep an accurate count of the bits as the come in. The clock is embedded in the data stream encoding. The sender and the receiver provides a separate clock lines so that the sender and the receiver are always in synchronization during a frame transmission. The synchronous signaling pulses…

Blown to Bits – 15 points each No, it shouldn’t be illegal to encrypt data. It should be legal because the Government shouldn’t have an automatic right to read anyone’s private messages/information at any time. One pro of end-to-end encryption is that data is secured when it travels from a source to its destination. It also offers high flexibility for user in selecting a data to encrypt. Another pro is that we can easily integrate with the existing solution. We can just add an…

What’s the most common word that comes to mind in a week? Mine is sorry. Most common phrase? Always beginning in under, less than or lacking. You are underrepresented in society. You are lacking in the opportunities many other people have had. You’re less than prepared. Sorry for letting you down. But those are just words. Seeing is believing. Who do you see as you look in the mirror? Someone's loved one, someone’s support, or simply someone? Yeah, it takes one to know one and all that jazz, but…

Hal Abelson, Ken Ledeen, and Harry Lewis use their fourth chapter of their book Blown to Bits to discuss search engines. They describe how search engines work, and the possible problems that they could have. As was the case with the third chapter of Blown to Bits, I enjoyed reading this chapter. I felt that this chapter was not written to condemn technology, but rather to inform people about something that has become a vital element of human society. I was intrigued by the authors’ discussion of…

When choosing the right bit for your horse, you must first decide what type of bit would work the best, either curb or snaffle bit. A snaffle bit is usually made of two rings and a piece of material that goes through the horse mouth. The size and shape of rings can widely vary, as well as the material that makes up the mouth piece. A snaffle bit achieves direct pressure on the horse mouth because when you pull on the reins, the snaffle bit , put the amount of pressure you are pulling with on to…

As experts in technology, Abelson, Ledeen, and Lewis discuss how technology has aided this progression of human ideologies to lead increasingly more public lives. Our privacy is constantly being stripped away from us thanks…

1. One part that I found interesting in Twain’s “Stagecoach Bits” was his description of the mail that was three days late. The amount that was placed not only in the coach with the passengers but also with in various other places besides the roof leaves one to only guess how that coach looked when it was done being loaded. Twain leaves this image of an overstocked coach with barely any room inside as the mail sacks rise to the sky. Secondly, was their snap judgment to strip down to their…
