![]() ![]() The book is suitable for a wide audience, yet is filled with mathematical concepts and meaty discussions of how the various cryptographic mechanisms work.Ĭhapters cover the notion of secure encryption, randomness, block ciphers and ciphers, hash functions and message authentication codes, public-key crypto including RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and elliptic curves, as well as TLS and post-quantum cryptography.

Serious Cryptography is the much anticipated review of modern cryptography by cryptographer JP Aumasson. ![]() ![]() ![]() As a character, Teru is sharp and courageous, and gives as good as she gets. Motomi uses a deft hand at composing the narrative, arranged with soft expressions and swaying flowers, while turning typical tricks of the shojo-manga trade on its head (a scene of gently falling flowers turns out to be a scene where Kurosaki is trimming trees). Despite their antagonistic relationship, he always seems to be around when Teru needs help. Kurosaki is a cranky, shiftless, character who spends most of his time smoking, playing mah-jongg, and belittling Teru. ![]() While Teru and Daisy text each other messages-those from Daisy are filled with gentle, kind words of encouragement and support-the young, thuggish, school janitor, Kurosaki, suddenly recruits Teru to help pay off the repairs to a window that she broke. ![]() But before dying, her brother gave her a cellphone with which she can contact "Daisy," a mysterious man who acts as a sort of cyber-guardian angel. After the death of her older brother, high school student Teru Kurebayashi is the only surviving member of her family.

"You don't go around kissing your best friend's dad, do you? Even though that's all you ever dream about." ![]() ![]() ![]() With concern about his job, Gregor stresses over the fact that his boss and father will be angry with him and about what will happen to his family. The grim beginning, followed by a struggle to perform daily duties, and a change in appetite shown later on in the story, insinuates that Gregor had depression due to this drastic change he went through. Both of these quotes give insight into Gregor’s mental health described by Kafka. “He tried at least a hundred times, shutting his eyes to keep from seeing his struggling legs, and only desisted when he began to feel in his side a faint dull ache he had never experienced before.” (Kafka,1914) this quote, describes Gregor’s struggle in his new physical state. ![]() The phraseology utilized by Kafka in this line implies that tragic events are foreshadowed within the story. In the beginning of this story, Kafka introduces the setting of the story by painting a grim picture, “Gregor’s eyes turned next to the window, and the overcast sky-one could hear rain drops beating on the window gutter-made him quite melancholy.” (Kafka, 1914). Through his use of symbolism, Kafka paints a very vivid depiction of Gregor’s mental health. ![]() ![]() ![]() I don't know how to deal with what I'm feeling, so I figure the best way is by calling her a slut, right? And tell her she was used. Silent Bob: So I'm totally weirded out by this, right? And then I just start blasting her. I mean, I was raised Catholic, for God's sake. Now this just blows my mind, right? I mean, I am not used to this sort of thing. But then she drops the bomb on me, and the bomb is this: it seems that a couple of times, while they were going out, he brought some people to bed with them. how they fell in love, and how they went out for a couple of years, and how they lived together, her mother likes me better, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So, anyway, she starts telling me about him. But you know how it is: you don't wanna know, but you just have to, right? Stupid guy bullshit. Which, as we all know, is a really dumb move. And then four months down the road, the idiot gear kicks in, and I ask about the ex-boyfriend. Silent Bob: So there's me and Amy, and we're all inseparable, right? Just big time in love. ![]() ![]() ![]() Two years later, they launched City Lights Publishers, a book-publishing venture, which helped start the careers of many alternative local and international poets.

Yes there are likely to be ALIEN life forms on the planet that you have never seen before! I know the book is more than 25 years old but the male/female relationships in the book seem to be based more on 1950s middle school fantasies than what you would expect from scientists exploring and colonizing a far away planet. Over and over you get speeches along the lines of, “This is our planet damn it, we rule here and no animal is going to take it away from us!” and “How could this animal exist? I have never heard of animal able to move this fast!” I wanted to scream: It is an ALIEN planet. But the dialog and characters are so trite and silly it distracts from everything else. I love creature fiction and Aliens is one of my favorite movies so I thought this could not miss. ![]() The premise is great, colonists stranded on a planet light years from earth are stalked by fierce creatures. ![]() I do not know how three of the most talented science fiction writers on the planet could have come up with this. This very well could be one of the worst things I have ever listened to. ![]() |
