This is called redundancy.
The receiver is then able to detect certain errors that came from the sending the data.
In certain cases, the receiver can correct the error, without the need for a retransmission.
FEC adds redundancy to the transmitted information with a known algorithm.
Each redundant bit is a function of many original information bits.
The original information may or may not appear in the encoded output; codes that include the unmodified input in the output are systematic, while those that do not are nonsystematic.
An extremely simple example would be an analog to digital converter that samples three bits of signal strength data for every bit of transmitted data.
If the three samples are mostly all zero, the transmitted bit was probably a zero, and if three samples are mostly all one, the transmitted bit was probably a one.
The simplest example of error correction is for the receiver to assume the correct output is given by the most frequently occurring value in each group of three.
This allows an error in any one of the three samples to be corrected by "democratic voting", but is a very inefficient FEC.
But  in practice would not work very well, but it does illustrate the principle.
In practice, FEC codes typically examine the last several dozen, or even the last several hundred, previously received bits to determine how to decode the current small handful of bits (typically in groups of 2 to 8 bits).

Error detection and correction is about methods to make sure that information or data is not corrupted, and still makes sense.
The techniques help reliable delivery of digital data over unreliable communication channels.
Detecting an error
There are different ways to make sure an error can be detected.
This is done by adding more data or information to the data transmitted.
Adding more data than needed is called redundancy.
Repetition codes: The data is broken up into blocks.
Each block is then sent a number of times.
Parity bits can be used.
The parity bit is 1 for an odd number of ones, and 0 for an even number (or vice versa)
Cyclic redundancy checks
Hamming codes
Longitudinal redundancy check
Transverse redundancy check
Polarity schemes
Automatic repeat request (ARQ) - The receiver detects an error and automatically requests a repetition

In grammar, an antecedent is a word or phrase that is repeated by another word or phrase.
An antecedent is most often used with relative pronouns, words like "what", "that", and "who".
The pronoun usually begins the relative clause and the antecedent is in the main clause.
I want a book that I can read.
In the above example, the relative pronoun 'that' refers back to the antecedent, the word 'book'.
Therefore, the main clause is "I want a book" and the relative clause is "that I can read".
Willy said he likes chocolate.
- Noun as antecedent
My eccentric uncle likes chocolate.
He tells everyone to buy him chocolate.
- Noun phrase as antecedent
Larry was helpful, and so was Kim.
- Adjective as antecedent
He arrived in the afternoon, when nobody was home.
- Prepositional phrase as antecedent
The relative pronouns are: who, whom, whose, which, that.

The Clovis culture was one of the first well documented Native cultures in the Americas.
The Clovis people lived in the Americas about 13,000 years ago.
They lived there for between 200 and 800 years.
Different sources list different lengths of time in that range.
They had a special way of making tools like spear tips and knives from stones.
The flint tips are called Clovis points.
Artifacts that they made in this way can be found in many places in North America.
The Clovis way of making tools only lasted between 500 and 1000 years.
After that, other similar ways became more popular.
The end of the Clovis culture
A decline in the availability of megafauna, together with the population becoming less and less mobile, led to local differentiation of lithic and cultural traditions across the Americas.
After this time, Clovis-style fluted points were replaced by other fluted-point traditions (such as the Folsom culture).
Clovis First (a theory)
The Clovis First theory says that the Clovis people crossed the Beringia land bridge over the Bering Strait from Siberia to Alaska during the period of lowered sea levels during the ice age, then made their way towards the south, through an ice-free corridor east of the Rocky Mountains in present-day Western Canada as the glaciers retreated.
Things that point to earlier settlement of the Americas
"Clovis First" is one of the theories about the Settlement of the Americas.
There are other ideas and research that go against "Clovis First".
Evidence of human habitation before Clovis
Idea about a coastal migration route: Research on the mitochondrial DNA of First Nations/Native Americans, was published in 2007.
It suggests that the people of the New World may have diverged (or went away from each other and stayed away), genetically from Siberians as early as 20,000 years ago.
One theory says that the Pacific coast of North America may have been free of ice, and maybe the first peoples in North America came down this route before the formation of the ice-free corridor.
Solutrean hypothesis
Genetic history of Indigenous peoples of the Americas: Research on mitochondrial DNA in 2014 has found that members of some native North American tribes have a maternal ancestry (called haplogroup X) that has a link to the maternal ancestors of some present-day individuals in western Asia and Europe - but the link is not strong.
A variant of mitochondrial DNA called X2a found in many Native Americans has been traced to (or research shows that the variant comes from) western Eurasia, while not being found in eastern Eurasia.

Alexandra is a work by the Greek poet Lykophron, who is only known through this work.
It was written between 196 and 190 BC.
Paris left for Sparta, to abduct Helena, the wife of Menelaos.
This was going to cause the Trojan War.
Kassandra is left in the temple, guarded by someone instructed by Priamos, her father.
The text is the report this guard gives to Priamos, about what Kassandra had said.
Kassandra (named ALexandra) first recalls how Herakles destroyed Troy.
She then tells about the Trojan War.
A large central part is devoted to how the Greek heroes return home.
She tells about Odysseus, his travels, and how he went home to his wife Penelope.
Penelope later kills him.
Kassandra also tells how Aeneas successfully settled in Rome, and how Rome became a big empire.
The final part of the poem is devoted to the eternal war between Europe and Asia, about the Persian Wars and Alexander the Great.
Kassandra says that six generations after him, a relative will win over the Macendonians, which will end the warring.
Kassandra's speech ends with resignation, as she cannot stop the events.
The guard ends his speech with a blessing for the Trojans.
The dark language of the poem comes from its vocabulary, its use of special, and old forms of words.
Of about 3000 words of the poem, 518 words are only known from this poem, 117 occur in this poem for the first time.
The main problems with this poem are that the persons are usually not named.
Rather they are described with what they did.
Geographical places are similarly unnamed, and only described using places in them.
Many scholars have tried to identify places and people, in some cases this is no longer possible though.

Lethwei (; IPA: ) or Burmese boxing is a full contact combat sport from Myanmar.
Lethwei is considered to be one of the most brutal martial arts in the world, because headbutts are permitted and the fights are done bareknuckle (without gloves).
This famous method of fighting with the bareknuckle hands and with the uncovered feet came in the 3rd century when the monks had wanted to be trained and to defended themselves.
It is a boxing "called martial" that borrows from the Burmese warriors all their array of particular plans for gaining success in the combat.
It had come popular beginning of the 11th century under the king Anawratha, with combats among tribes with no rules and with a violence without common measure.
The way of facing is special very much, much often taking a certain animal behaviour and is alike only of much distant to other Eastern methods.
In the way received from ancestors, the combat is judged by two referees and is done in a circle where every form of the blow and of the throw is permitted.
The present time brought the rules as if the Eastern boxing, especially the gloves, the things that keep safe, the rounds and the ring.
The technical part of the person who fights is much wide and the behaviours are produced by other methods of the combat de Burma.
Many unusually interesting actions are happened, especially the flying techniques (jumping kick, knee strike and with elbow in flying), and techniques in walking of stairs (kicks and knee strike).
In the past, a traditional Burmese Boxing was quite different from Thaing, for its brutal and rough side.
Today, is not so, because is having good organization under the modern conditions, can be agradable see.
Technical Description : "The Entire Body is a Weapon"
Nine traditional techniques are the parts of the method of the Burmese boxing.
The technical description of the lethwei include three main parts, the weapons which are used, the goals which are aims and the distances of the combat.
We meet:
the usage of all the ready amount of the body, of the blow and of the throw (nine main weapons: skull, two fists, two elbows, two knees and two feet),
the search for the blow of the set of the body of the opponent,
the managing of three distances of combat: long distance (especially of the kick), middle distance (knee strikes, fist and elbow), body to body (holds and throws).
From a point of view of particular plan for gaining succes in the combat, and in order to learn and remember, a part of laws is established.
For example, we meet the following laws:
striking the arms of the opponent before attacking the centre of the body (for example, giving in the blow with head to the biceps at the same time with a circular punch of the opponent or of the blow to the thigh of the opponent with roundhouse kick (fr.
fouetté) during an attack with roundhouse kick in middle line),
the throws have to be performed in the near space in order to carry an immediate blow in reaching the ground,
using the strategies of the animals of the thaing (for example, the blow in the lower parts of the opponent of type wild boar, or kick of the type leopard to the arms of the opponent in order to open a way to goals, to the face).
The Cultural Part of Lethwei
According to a customary way, the combat is performed in a circle.
In the Burmese villages, still in 21st century, this fight has kept in existence its character received from ancestors.
Only the appearance of an Eastern ring and of the divisions seems to be mark of the present times.
The match is judged by two referees, in order to can better separate the men who take part in it, and six referees give a points to these men.
All the techniques are permitted, a man can be hit in the ground.
The boxers fight during the rounds much long.
The rounds are changed by complete half-times during the other matches are performed.
The set of needed things is poor, the competitor uses certain pants of boxing, wrapped hands, coconut as a something that keeps the genitals safe, leather strap among the teeth.
Till the present times, many Burmese boxers have the tattooed trunk and the leg.
In a certain, you can see his victories, in other - the representations of animals (eagle, serpent, leopard, tiger, etc..) suggesting force and being brave.
Lethwei yay
Warrior dance performed in the beginning of the combat, in order to show ability and being brave.
In the end of the dance, the crossed arms are hit each one of its shoulders with the opposite hand in order to announce that the boxer is hostile.
A dance of victory is performed also after the decision of the referees.
Lekkha moun
Act of providing to see de the weapons used during the combat de lethwei, by the boxer himself.
He hits the opposite arm with his open hand.
The act of providing to see is performed from the top towards down, at the beginning with the fists and the elbows, then with the knee and in the end with the feet.

The word kickboxing represents a sport of combat of striking which is practised on ring.
In the years 1960, in the United States, the sharp interest for the karate and for the other martial arts (kempo, kung-fu, taekwondo, bando, etc.)
and the desire of several mass media does developping the things.
Various styles of martial practices developped with the various forms of contact.
Many champions wanting to know the special end easy recognized qualities of their techniques, helped in causing their gradual change.
Competitions were arranged in lot of different styles of combat; like Jhoon Rhee's United States National Karate Championship, the Ed Parker's Battle of Atlanta, and from the 1963 they opens on ring of Bando kickboxing (form come to have of the ancient Burmese boxing brought in from another country by the person with special skill Maung Gyi).
Other important competitions like Mas Oyama's All Worth America Championship (Karate Kyokushinkai to the K.O.) has changed the traditional competitions of karate from yet arranged without contact.
Also, the Bruce Lee's (famous cinema actor, in the middle of the years 1970) and Jhoon Rhee's (Alan Steen's, Jeff Smith's and Gordon Franks's teacher) idea of fighting with protections and gloves, has opened a new way for all the persons who like "real combat".
At the beginning, American kickboxing is rules of competition.
Such rules allow the competitors of the various martial practices to compete in a certain kind of fighting (at the beginning that ones of the WKA - World Karate Association).
If is so much the main opinion that is become one of the forms of sport of combat produced by the martial arts more practised in the world.
Among the most known world systems, loaded with the management of the professional and amateur designations as champions in the boxes pieds-poings we have: the WKA (World Kickboxing Association) that had been founded in the USA in the 1976, the WAKO (World Association of KickBoxing Organizations) that had been founded in Germany in the 1978 (WAKO has its origins in the organization of amateur gatherings), the ISKA (that had been founded in 1986) that came from the PKA that did the development of the full contact at the beginning and the WKN (that had been founded in the 1997).

Archerfish (or archer fish) are small fish.
Others live in salt water.
They live in lots of places, like India, the Philippines, Australia, and Polynesia.
Archerfish eat insects and other small animals.
The archerfish looks for an insect hanging over the water.
The archerfish shoots drops of water out of its mouth at the insect.
When the drops hit the insect, it falls into the water.
Then the archerfish catches (gets) the insect and eats it.
Archerfish can hit insects up to two meters (six feet) away.
Adult archerfish almost always hit the insect the first time, but young archerfish must do it many times in order to learn how.

John (Jack) Peisley (1835 – 1862)  Australian bushranger was born in Bathurst New South Wales in 1835.
He is believed to be the first bushranger born in Australia.
His name is often found spelled as "Piesley".
John Peisley lived in the Abercrombie District with his well-known settler parents Thomas and Elizabeth.
Their house was reputed a den of  thieves.
John Peisley was arrested in his teens for stealing.
About 1840, the extended family of  ticket of leave convicts Thomas Weavers and wife Sarah, previously Smith née Lake crossed the Blue Mountains to Bathurst and took up farming in the Mount Macquarie area where unofficial settlement started in 1821.
The first land grant was to Thomas Icely for Coombing Park in 1829.
Nearby land was taken up on Coombing and Fell Tree Creeks, and at Number One Swamp that developed into the village of Mount Macquarie, the latter renamed Neville in 1888.
Thomas Weavers and stepson William Smith took up land together.
On 12 May 1851, two horses missing from Thomas Weavers’ Mount Macquarie property were seen in the possession of seventeen-year-old John Peisley driving them and five more to the Abercrombie.
He was arrested on warrant and indicted for stealing.
The jury could not agree the identity of horses were sufficiently established and acquitted the accused, but he was remanded in custody, as he faced another charge of horse stealing.
Not all Australian convicts and ticket of leave holders arrived in Australia on convict transports.
Bathurst-born Colonial lad John Peisley was eventually convicted of stealing cattle and sentenced to serve time on Cockatoo Island near Sydney, now called Biloela.
A prisoner who served time there was labelled a Cockatoo Hand.
There he met Darkie Frank Clark, who as Frank Christie, escapee from Melbourne’s Pentridge gaol in 1850 after serving five weeks of a five year sentence.
In New South Wales, Clark turned to horse and cattle stealing in company with William Fogg.
