For centuries, we have bent to their cruelty
Like a slave to her master's loyalty
We have cried them tears and bled them blood
Knelt at their toes, called them brother and called them Lord
But no more we say, no more
We will bare our chests of the shirts they tore
We will tear the threads with which our mouths were sown
We will scream of pain in the loudest tone
Let them throw dynamites at our feet
And pile our headless bodies in their pits
Let them slit our throats like cows in the slaughter
And deride in their evil laughter

POEM : MOTHERLY LOVE
All your bones you broke
Screaming and wailing as I caused you pain
In one loud cry of inexplicably sweet pain
You gave birth to love
Every morning, you smiled at me
Yet I'd bite at your breast
You'd bathe, feed and sing me a song
But I'd still cry you up in the midnight
I recall when you'd buy me very nice toys
Yet I'd still break your favorite plate
You'd buy me the most fashionable wears
And I'd still soil your sweetest gown

Poem # hardwork
I had always been too scared to walk too far
I always thought it would leave a scar
I always thought my feet would fail me
I had always been too scared to see
I had always been eager to give my best
I always thought I couldn't do the rest
I always thought my best was enough
I had always been too scared to have it rough
I had always been too scared to take the risk
I always thought I didn't have to frisk
I always thought I had no inner grenade
I had always been too scared to leave the shade
I had always thought everything had limits
I always thought of that point I couldn't meet
I always thought there was a high standard
I had always been too scared to work that hard
But now I know better
There's no such thing as too far
There are no limits
Except the ones you're yet to meet
No best is enough
Because you're that tough
History is written by the winners
Achievements are made by hard workers

S.I.W.E.S REPORT ON DRILLING AND MINING
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION TO STUDENTS INDUSTRIAL WORK EXPERIENCE SCHEME (S.I.W.E.S)
OVERVIEW OF SIWES
Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (S.I.W.E.S) was established by the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) in 1973. It is a mandatory skill acquisition and training programmed, designed to expose students to the industrial workplace environment in their respective disciplines during their course of study. The students are expected to develop occupational competencies that would facilitate their fitting into the world of work after graduation.

THE ELECTRICAL BEHAVIOUR OF RECTIFIERS AND AMPLIFIERS:
THE ELECTRICAL BEHAVIOUR OF RECTIFIERS AND AMPLIFIERS:
Definition of Rectifier
A rectifier is simply an electrical device composed of one or more diodes that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). A diode is like a one-way valve that allows an electrical current to flow in only one direction. This process is called rectification.
A rectifier can take the shape of several different physical forms such as solid-state diodes, vacuum tube diodes, mercury arc valves, silicon-controlled rectifiers and various other silicon-based semiconductor switches.
Rectifiers are used in various devices, including:
DC power supplies
Radio signals or detectors
A source of power instead of generating current
As flame rectification to detect the presence of flame
High-voltage direct current power transmission systems
Several household appliances use power rectifiers to create power, like notebooks or laptops, video game systems and televisions.
A rectifier is an electrical device that converts AC to DC. AC occasionally reverses direction and DC flows in one direction only. Rectification produces a type of DC that encompasses active voltages and currents, which are then adjusted into a type of constant voltage DC, although this varies depending on the current's end-use. The current is allowed to flow uninterrupted in one direction, and no current is allowed to flow in the opposite direction.
Almost all rectifiers contain more than one diode in particular arrangements.

A TERM PAPER ON THE USES OF CONDUCTORS
QUESTION
What are the
Uses of Conductors?
CHAPTER 1
Answers
What are
Conductors?
In Physics
and Electrical engineering, a conductor is an object or type of material that
allows the flow of electrical current in one or more directions. A metal wire
is a common electrical conductor.
Conductors
are materials that electrons to flow freely from particle to particle. An
object made of a conducting material will permit charge to be transferred
across an entire surface of the object.
Metal
conductors such as copper, aluminum and semi alloys(mixture of two or more
metals) e.g brass, phosphor-bronze and manganin are widely used in electrical
and electronic circuits.
In
electrical and electronic circuits and components, conductors are materials
that allow electric current to flow through them because their atomic structure
lets the outermost electrons move easily from one atom to another and because
the electrons carry a negative electric charge they are easily repelled by a
negative charge and attracted by a positive charge. Therefore applying a
voltage between the two ends of a conductor causes an electron drift from
negative to positive giving rise to an electric current.
Suitable
materials act as conductors:
1) Most metals
2) Some Gases
3) Solutions of Acids, Alkalis and salt
in water.
A SIWES REPORT ON STEPS INVOLVED IN BUILDING A BUNGALOW
JOBS DONE / EXPERIENCE GAINED
On my first day at the workshop, I was
first given a rundown of the workshop safety rules and regulations. I took time
to peruse through, and understand, this safety rules. I was also introduced to
the management and various departments in the company, after which i was shown equipment and machines.
Site Safety Rules
Safety is an important consideration in
any construction site work but i was made to understand that on a site with a
high rise building, extra safety if on crucial importance and should be everyone primary concern because construction of buildings at a great height
can be a dangerous activity. Safety is based on knowledge, skill and an
attitude of care and concern. Thus safety factors includes all the measures
carried out to protect both the worker, consultant, contractor and all persons
present on the site at every given time from fatalities and injuries, and as
well as minimize or eliminate all possible construction hazards.

ABOUT SIWES
SIWES
stands for acronym for Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme.
The Student
Industrial Work-Experience Scheme (SIWES) is a planned and supervised training
intervention based on stated and specific learning and career objectives, and
geared towards developing the occupational competencies of the participants. It
is a programme required to be undertaken by all students of tertiary
institutions in Nigeria pursuing courses in “specialized engineering,
technical, business, applied sciences and applied arts”. The federal government on 8th
October 1971 established the industrial training (ITF) in order to acquaint the
students on the industrial work method. The SIWES which is a subsidiary formed
in 1973 was initiated to improve the students’ technical abilities to expose
them to industrial culture thereby getting the acquainted with the role to play
towards the technological advancement of the nation. It creates an avenue on
environment in which the students are being exposed to areas of their various
disciplines which enhances their mental and creative minds in the aspects of
technology and development.
