A magneto is small generator formed from a permanent magnet, which uses electricity to give outputs such as pulses of high voltage. A magneto has a transformer, switch and distributor, which give alternating current the direction to the plug that produces sparks. Timing in magneto is the interval in which the breaking point occurs after producing the sparks. Therefore, the purpose of magneto timing is to actualize high voltage used to produce sparks at the right time. It is achieved through the internal and external timing. Internal timing takes place mechanically on a bench. There are two adjustments in ...

When analyzing and comparing two works of art, there are many aspects that one must take into account, especially if they belong to different mediums. Even though there may be many differences, one can still find similarities between two masterpieces. This is more significant if they belong to the same historical and ideological context, as in the case of Sandro Botticelli’s painting “The Birth of Venus” and Agnolo Poliziano's poem “Stanze per la Giostra”. They were both important exponents of the Renaissance’s humanist movement, which sought to recall the importance of man, including the rationality and mythology ...

Summary and Reflection: Shitty First Drafts by Anne Lamott

Summary and Reflection Anne Lamott discussed the value of first drafts in writing through the article Shitty First Drafts, an article in her best-selling book Bird by Bird. As a professional writer, Lamott disputes the commonly held notion that good writers find it easy to create written works without any indication of anxiety or difficulty whatsoever. For Lamott, all writers experience obstacles related to their written works. In turn, Lamott referred to first drafts as those that tend to reflect the obstacles of all writers towards producing the final version of their written works (Lamott, 1994).
