facebook and twitter
1.	How is Facebook and Twitter the same? •	Online social communication tool •	Easy to use them connect friends and family members •	Using them to share thoughts, ideas, and instant messages, for example: 1.	When you post a message in Facebook or Twitter, everybody in your contact list can see it. We don’t send the message to any specific person. 2.	With facebook, we are able to simply make comments about these on my profile page, and if people were interested they were able to see these things.

2.	Why do you think Facebook is worried about competition from Twitter?Personally I have gotten kinds of tired of facebook. I feel as though facebook has many features. It can be very overwhelming for a user who simply wants to communicate with others. But Twitter, while hard to grasp its concept at first glance, does provide a very simple, straightforward method of communicating like we can ask a question and get an instantaneous response.

Facebook and Twitter
In present, online social networkings are very popular. Not only for teenagers but also young adult and working people too. Online social networkings enable people to do various types of communication at low cost due to the more of availability of cheap access to the Internet. Two of the most popular online social networkings are Facebook and Twitter. Facebook and Twitter share many similarities. The very first obvious common is that they are both online social networkings. Facebook provides their users games and applications that allow many people to associate together as much as possible. That phenomenon makes Facebook's users feel kind of not boring because they something to do. What about Twitter? In my opinion, Twitter is kind of more complicated than Facebook. Twitter is almost the same as Facebook but more complex. There are not many of additional application in Twitter like Facebook does. Twitter is newer social networking than Facebook. However, Twitter becoming more and more bigger player in online social networking. Facebook has to be alert for Twitter's next move.

Operating Systems
1.Look at different operating system (how many use it)

There are many of operating systems. For example, for Window, there are Window XP, 2003 server, ME, 98, Vista, and the latest one Seven. The most widely use OS is Window XP because Window XP is much more modern and stable than other Window's operating systems. Another portion of current use of OS is MAC OS, OS X, and the newest one OS X Snow Leopard. Also, for operating a server, Linux operating system is the one that many computer server administrators prefer to use.

2.-What operating systems should install on your netbook?

In my opinion, Window XP is the most suitable one because Window XP is been around for quite a long time. Therefore, many problems and errors were already been solved. As a result, Window XP can perform more reliable and stable than other operating systems.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Internet has influenced the world of communication since the first day it was invented. People can always stay connected through internet. The first most popular application about internet communication in my generation is MSN. That was when social networking became popular. People always want to keep in touch with their friends. After MSN, the era of Hi5 hit world wide. This is when social networking had reached its peak. Social networking became amazingly popular since then. Who does not have their own page is considered old fashioned nowadays. What makes it fascinating is that people can keep in touch with their friend whether they are connecting to the internet or not. Too bad for myself, I had stopped using social networking since Hi5. Nowadays, I do not even use MSN. If I turn off my mobile phone, no one can contact me except via e-mail. It is not that I am not interesting. I just don't like to keep updating and checking, so I have no use for these things. But I do know what is the current trend, I'm still caught up to nowadays technology. Well If you want to see me, call me.

Two social networkings that are very popular in these days are Twitter and Facebook. All of my friends have their own facebook pages, so I have some ideas what can it do and what it is. Facebook tend to be a private social networking. Facebook users can limit who they want to be friends with, and who can view their profiles page, picture, video share, application and even chat. It's more like people can stay connected with your friends through their pages in privacy without unknown people peeking at your page. Facebook is not about who has the biggest friend list, or who's got millions of comments. It's about connecting with your friends.

I have heard the name Twitter, but I have no idea what can it do, so I do a research on it, and here is what I have learnt "Twitter enables the users to send and read messages known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to the author's subscribers who are known as followers. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow open access." For me, it sounds much more opened then Facebook, unless the users block their pages for only their friends. Twitter allows users to gain access to other people's pages than Facebook, so that if people view your page and show their interrests, you will have more followers which makes you cooler.

Well, social networking is still social networking for me. Nothing fancy. Its main objective is to make people stay connected to other, make more people know you, or sometime, make you become famous. They just have to compete each other with applications and features. It is up to personal tastes and societies of the users.

Social networking has become the most popular vibe worldwide, but it really all comes down to just Facebook and Twitter that seem to be the most selected choices for people all around the world. What are the differences between them? Here is the answer I discovered from experiencing both of the social networking sites.

Facebook appeals to provide more privacy. Users can limit who they want to be friends with, and who can view their profiles page, picture, video share, application and even chat. Its advantage is to get in touch with old friends, new friends, or people you already know. In other word is to be able to share and updates things that happen in your life with your buddy. Facebook also concentrate on a deep connection between users rather than who has the most connections. However, Twitter appears to be more open and has wider range of connection. This is because twitter doesn’t require users to approve who can view their profile page or status unless blocked. Nevertheless, Twitter’s main concentration is the status updates and the number of followers, therefore, the more number of followers may mean the cooler you are to some people. Twitter users tend to reach far beyond their inner circle of friends than Facebook and it is a pure communication without any applications or file sharing.

I personally think that both of the social networking sites are beneficial in different ways, it just comes down to what kind of connection the users are looking for. If the users are online marketers who are looking for quick responses from a statement of idea, then Twitter may be more suitable. But if the users are travellers who want to keep in touch with friends all around the world in deep friendship or relationship, Facebook can definitely serve their needs.

Introduction to Political Science/Haley POLS 100/Lesson 1

Wikipedian Jaylan Haley's Political Science 100 Syllabus Political Science 100 Main Page School of Political Science Main Page Thucydides, the History of the Peloponnesian War and the Classical Birth of Political Science

Overview
Why does this Greek man deserve to be the first personality that we study in our educational journey of Political Science? What makes him special, above others, that we should spend time learning about his persona? What has he contributed to the field and to humanity in general? The answer is: there is no better place to start. Thucydides is considered the father of "scientific history". Currently, he is considered the first to separate what we would refer to as mysticism and religion from the factually-based catalog of events that has become our basis of the study of history.

Although we know there were at least 9 millenia of recorded events prior to Thucydides, what we also know is that this man would, for the first time, make a record of a world-changing event from a relatively neutral perspective. Of course the fact that he was a Greek—Athenian—and the event that he observed, the Pelopponesian War, was a conflict between Athenians and Spartans, brings into question his bias towards Athenian greatness. But what makes the man great was his willingness to step beyond the confinements of social bounds and explore the world of scientific possibilities that could be gleaned from the events that he observed. Little did he know, that his work would spawn a complete revolution in the way that we conceive history and just how history and its observation can change the world. Quite a bit of the political world is rooted in history; from political parties to theory, history has painted a very cogent picture for the progression of human political interaction. That is why we want to know the man and his contribution to the world, the History of the Pelopponesian War.

As we briefly cover Thucydides, you would be wise to consider the themes of his works, non-inclusively: (1)  an effort to be objective in his observations, (2) explicit observations of complex issues and finally (3) a willingness to break boundaries. In your writing and in your conversations dealing with political topics, you yourself should strive to be objective in your reporting as politics partial by their very nature. But you should not be unwilling to explain another's political position as it relates to a particular situation. As we will later find, Thucydides' observation/explanation of the Melian Dialogue would create a groundswell of political discussion years after he was gone. Finally, you should not be unwilling to break the bounds of typical political writing as sometimes we find much more in ourselves when we don't always abide by the standard rules.

Who Was Thucydides?
Before we explore Thucydides' contribution to the world of Social Sciences, it's important that we understand who we are studying as this can be as enlightening as information about an intellectual's contribution. Although relatively little is known, about Thucydides, a smattering of facts garnered from his work provides a little insight into his life. First, Thucydides was an Athenian Greek. It's important to understand that Greece was not a monolithic society in the 5th century BC. The nation was divided into hundreds of city-states of which Athens and Sparta were the most prominent: Athens, due to its social and economic affluence and Sparta as a result of its military prowess. Herein lies a classic philosophical concept of the Athenian intellect versus the Spartan brawn, more to follow on that dichotomy. Thucydides was a Greek from the deme or subdivision of Athens called Halimous.

Early Life
He tells us that his father's name was Olorus. Robert Strassler who wrote The Landmark Thucydides suggests that by the name of his father, Thucydides was probably of Thracian decent and of royal blood. In his work Thucydides divulges that he owned gold mines at Scapte Hyle (literally: Dug Woodland") which supports Strassler's suggestion as this area was near Thrace, opposite the island of Thasos. The possibility that Thucydides was from this area would later play an interesting part in his life at war.  Little is known of his formal education, if any, but he reveals that he is a student of history himself throughout his work, especially in the application of power as he references the prosecution of the Trojan War.

The World of Thucydides
As previously mentioned, Thucydides was of Thracian descent. Ancient Thrace now span the modern states of Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey, at the core of what was once the Byzantine empire. Thrace was an important trade interest of Greece, given its proximity to Asia Minor and access to the Black Sea. Thrace designated the lands bordered by the Danube on the north, by the Euxine Sea (Black Sea) on the east, by northern Macedonia in the south and by the Illyrian lands (i.e. Illyria) to the west. For the most part, this part of the Greek empire was thought to be relatively safe from the Spartan alliance during the Peloponnesian Wars as the majority of the fighting occurred near the southern end of the peninsula.

Life at War
Strassler extrapolates that Thucydides was less than 30 years of age when the war began in 431 BC. During the war, Thucydides suffered from the plague that afflicted Athens from 430 to 427 BC. He, along with his command of seven ships stationed on the isle of Thasos, were sent to Amphipolis to help defend against a Spartan offensive however his relief did little to stop the Athenian onslaught and resulted in an Athenian defeat. Strassler suggests that Thucydides was called to Amphipolis because of his tie to the gold mining industry on the island Indeed it was because of Thucydides' failure at Amphipolis that he was exiled from Athens for twenty years and given the leisure to write this timeless work. Of note, we do know that Thucydides survived the entirety of the conflict from his own accounts.

The History of the Peloponnesian War
It's important to understand that the work is a compilation of that which Thucydides observed himself and catalogued from others, before, during and after the war; it is not a complete first-person account. Further, Thucydides admits that his bias might actually get in the way of communicating a completely objective piece but he does make the disclaimer. Before and during the times of Thucydides, embellished storytelling is how history was passed down from generation to generation; it's no wonder that we get the fantastical stories of the Greek gods and their human pawns. However Thucydides wanted to help begin the transition from this oftentimes inaccurate method of passing-on information to a much more structured method; in fact, he admits that his work probably would not be read as much as some of the other writers due to the lack of "romance" in his history.

Origin of Political Schools
Many political scientists point to Thucydides account and commentary as the origin of the school of classical realism however I would argue that Thucydides' work is the origin of both classical realism and classical liberalism. Realism in the sense that Thucydides seemed to favor the classic realist measure of a state's importance in the international system, vis-a-vis power but, he also acknowledged liberalism in the sense that he recognized the means and goals by which Athens and Sparta waged their war and understood that there was at least some liberal universal norms like the defense of equality, at least among men of equal station.

Realism
Although throughout the mentioning of the militaries in Greece we find remnants of Homer's description of size in terms of power, Thucydides bases his opinions on these observations. Thucydides gives some insight into his realist thoughts beginning with his short recount of the Trojan War and the epochs leading up to that point in that he mentions the "weakness" of ancient times in terms of their disjointed behavior. He places much stock in the power of the Greeks or the "Hellenes" not so much as individual states but more so as a conglomeration of those states focused on a particular goal but more importantly coalescing their power for the achievement of that goal. Indeed the prosecution of the Trojan War itself under the leadership of Agamemnon, Thucydides observes, was made possible only by the superiority in strength of the leader. Here we see that international relations is undertaken not out of a sense of honor or universal norms but rather as a result of the exercising of power. Agamemnon, according to Thucydides, was able to maintain his kingship due to his strength in numbers on the continent but later because of the amassing of a great fleet to subjugate the islands.

- Using Twitter is easier to stay updated than using Facebook. if the person has update what he's doing through Twitter, the message will be sent to other via mobile texting, on the web and instant message, so that people can know immediately what their friends are doing.

Template:Gallery/doc

This template shows up to 30 images in an array. The number of images per row is based upon the width specified and the width of the screen, which allows greater flexibility than the <gallery> tag.

For style guidelines about where galleries are appropriate, see WP:IG.

This template is similar to Image gallery, except it requires a " " or " " prefix for image names and an " " prefix for alt text, whereas Image gallery requires neither prefix. Both templates use Gallery/aux to format individual images.

For each image
Specify a line of the following form for each image.

 *   is the image's file name. It can use a   instead of an   prefix.
 *   should be   for the first image,   for the second image, and so forth.
 *   is the alt text for the image, used by visually impaired and other readers who cannot see the image. See Alternative text for images. If omitted, the image's alt text is blank.
 *   is the caption; see Captions.

If no such lines are present, a gallery with a single question-mark image is produced. There is currently a limit of 30 such lines.

For the gallery overall
These parameters are optional.

 * : The gallery's title.
 * : (default 180) Maximum width and height of each image.
 * : (default 2) The number of text lines needed for the largest caption. Blank lines are appended to smaller captions. A caption that does not fit is cut off.

Original question: User talk:Gbaor Szia! A valaszt a kerdesedre inkbb ide irom, mert nem biztos hogy koveted a vitalapomat. Szoval: 1. (Hoffmeister): Kdo má rád maminku s tatínkem a naši rodnou zem, je náš kamarád a smí si s námi hrát. Aki apját-anyját és hazáját szereti, a barátunk és játszunk vele. Comment: Ez egesz jo, habar a "maminka" anyuka-t jelent, igy a forditas: "Aki anyukajat-apukajat es szulofoldunket szereti, az a baratunk es jatszhat velunk."

2. (Saudek): Kdo má právo rád a při něm obstojí a nic se nebojí,, je náš kamarád a smí si s námi hrát. Aki szereti az igazságot és betartja a törvényt, és semmitől sem fél, a barátunk és játszunk vele. Comment: majdnem jo, a lenyeget visszadja de hianyzik egy darab az 1. mondatreszbol. A szo szerinti forditas: "Aki szereti az igazságot, kiáll mellette és semmitol sem fél, az a barátunk és játszhat velunk." A "právo" szo szerint jog-ot jelent, de ertelmezheto mint igazsag, igazsagossag is, ami szerintem itt helyesebb.

A szohasznalathoz: En meg nem hallottam, hogy valaki hasznalta volna, de nem is nagyon kovetem a cseh mediakat vagy a nyelvhasznalatot.

A 2. modatresz mindket esetben kicsit valtozott. Ha meg vlmi kellene, szolj. Udv, --Gbaor 13:32, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Exercise: Your Heart Needs It Too

Women are at risk for heart disease and heart attacks, just like men. In fact, heart disease is the leading cause of death among women over 65. American women are 4 to 6 times more likely to die of heart disease than of breast cancer. Heart disease kills more women over 65 than all cancers combined. While, women develop heart problems later in life than men (typically 7 or 8 years later), by about age 65 a woman's risk is almost the same as a man's. In the past few decades men’s mortality rates due to heart disease have declined, while women’s mortality rates have risen slightly. It is important that women know they are at risk so they can start taking the steps to prevent heart disease. The most common cause of heart disease is a narrowing or complete blockage of the coronary arteries, also known as coronary artery disease.

Extensive medical research has identified the major heart disease risk factors for women. Some, like aging or heredity, are things you can't change. But there are many other factors affecting women that you can do something about. Some of these factors include smoking, lack of exercise, obesity, stress, depression, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. I will focus on the role exercise can play in preventing heart disease in women.

Prevention is important. Many women do not know they are at risk until it is too late. Two thirds of women who have heart attacks fail to make a recovery. Studies have shown that regular exercise improves your heart health. Remember, your heart is a muscle meaning it too needs exercise to stay in shape. According to the Mayo Clinic, regularly participating in moderately vigorous physical activity can reduce your risk of fatal heart disease. Regular exercise not only strengthens your heart, but also helps eliminate many of the other preventable causes of heart disease.

Physical activity helps you control your weight and can reduce your chances of developing other conditions that may put a strain on your heart, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. It also reduces stress, which may also be a factor in heart disease. It is recommended that you get at least 30 to 60 minutes of moderately intense exercise 4 to 6 days per week. Some examples include brisk walking, riding bike, or jogging. However, even shorter amounts of exercise offer heart benefits, so if you can't meet those guidelines, don't give up. You can even break up your workout time into 10-minute sessions and still get the same benefits. Some good ways to “sneak” in exercise are to walk to work, park farther away at the supermarket, take the stairs, or get off the bus one or two stops before your normal stop and walk the rest of the way.

Heart disease is a serious disease in both women and men, but it can easily be prevented. If we take the time to get proper exercise and eat right we un-seat heart disease as the number one cause of death in women over 65 years of age.

Homework Facebook and Twitter
 Similarities between Facebook and Twitter -Facebook and Twitter are social networking media that allow people with same opinions or interest somthing in common to know each other. -You can write text messages and leave comments on Twitter and Facebook sites. -You can post your pictures on their application. -You can share your video files via the online application. -You can show and hide your recent updates

Why Facebook worried about competition from Twitter? Eventhough Twitter and Facebook have many things in common,Twitter has its advantages on how it is more simple and how it is easier to use and understand. By starting with a common question "what are you doing?" user can answer with the maximum of 140 letters so it is less self centered than Facebook which will say a lot about who you are. If you compare Twitter to Facebook,Twitter is like you are talking from nowhere while Facebook is like you are talking in public and more people can identify who you are. Providing more privacy and simply, Twitter seems to be a big competitor to Facebook.

Technical writing/Requirements and Functional Specifications EE

back to Technical Writing at Wikiversity

Course aims
This course aims to improve the way that Business Analysts, Developers, Project and Product Managers: From the start of the process the development team only work on productive elements of the project.
 * Interact with each other by understanding each other’s roles
 * Identify and understand the initial objectives (Goals) of the Customer
 * Actively guide the customer to discover further details of the Goals until no detail is missing
 * Accurately record and track the Goals to the end of the project
 * Translate the Goals into workable Requirements with the help of a team of Experts

The team of Experts will map the Requirements to Functions.

Pre-requisites:

 * A good standard of English (English version)
 * Good communication skills

The Target Audience includes

 * Business (System) Analysts
 * Product or Project Managers
 * Assistants to the above
 * Solution System Architects
 * Hardware and Software Developers

Requirement Specification Overview
It is important that all pieces of information (including all conversations with the customer) are recorded at the time they occur. Often at the end of the project disputes happen between the customer and supplier that can result in lengthy negotiations or even litigation (in the law courts). Details that seem minor at the time can be a big problem later. The more structured and retrievable these notes are the better. It is recommended that these records are stored in a way that all the Project Development team can access them. Examples are to store the information as:
 * Tasks in a task tracking system such as a Customer Support System CSS or Team Foundation Server TFS
 * Chunks in a Wiki based database such as Confluence.

Manually tracking requires a rigid set of numbering rules

Feasibility study
Before the development of requirements phase there is a feasibility study or analysis of the concepts involved in the new product. If the feasibility study is positive then the team will develop Requirements into detailed Functions and Structures. The feasibility study will analyse whether:
 * There are sound business cases for each of the Goals
 * There is sufficient budget to complete the project
 * The project will make a profit
 * There are sufficient resources

The purpose of the feasibility study is to stop projects that can never make a profit before money and resources are wasted.

The Requirements phase
The Requirements phase may be broken down into the following stages:
 * Discover Goals (gather the initial requirements from Customers and record them)
 * Analyse (check that the requirements are consistent and complete)
 * Define (record descriptive requirements for developers)
 * Specify (create a link between requirements and design)

Requirements Form the Basis of the Final Contract
Do not begin to develop the project before knowing exactly what the Goals and needs of the Customer are. If the real Goals of the Customer are not satisfied, then the final product will not satisfy the needs of the customer. Example: The Customer for this document was the Training department. The training department set the goals in the Course aims.

Write full and complete Requirements because the Requirements will form the basis of the Contract with the Customer. Do not leave out any details. Details that appear to be minor at the start of the contract can create problems later. The Requirements do not state how the system performs the functions that are required. The Solution Architect decides how to implement the functions with the Project Team.

Contracts are written to a tight deadline with many last minute alterations. Give the Contract department a solid basis to write the contract from.

Pre course Exercise 1 Make a label for a bottle of Beer
The Exercise aim is to show how much information is required in a simple project and how difficult it is to predict a customer’s true goals without proper information.

Write all the information that you think is required in the white space on the bottle label for a new product called Pilgrim Beer.

You have no information so you will have to assume what is needed.

Definitions of Requirements, Customers and Goals
A Requirement:
 * Describes and defines a single aspect of an objective (Goal) that a particular product or service must have or do.
 * Becomes an input to the design stage of product development.

Example: A Requirement of this course is to keep the language simple.

A Customer is: a person or organisation with goals that pays for the project.

Example: The Customer for this training is the Training Department

A Goal is an objective that the Customer wants to achieve in the project.

Example: The Goals of this training are stated in the course aims

Tell the Customer if any Goals are unachievable early in the process

 University Al-Zaytun Indonesia (UAZ Indonesia)

At Glance
University name is University Al-Zaytun Indonesia (UAZ Indonesia). It is established and inaugurated in 2005 by Prof. Dr. Bambang Sudibyo, MBA the Minister of Education during an early cabinet era of Susislo Bambang Yudoyono (SBY). All academical activities held and centralized at 'Gedung Jenderal Besar H.M. Soeharto'. The building name given as a great appreciation to the former second president of Indonesia Soeharto. It is also bestowed to him in 2000 in the moment that almost Indonesian societies such as; intellects, bureaucrats, scientists, economists,religious persons, and etc were 'kept silence' even blaspheming him vulgarly. It is whether verbal or written; everywhere, formal and non formal, at every corner of the streets, "warung kopi", restaurants, cinemas, schools, universities, local and international magazines and newspapers, people were spoken about Soeharto. Shortly, it is just like there is no even a little positive point from the past effort of President Soeharto have been done. So why then the founding father of the UAZ Indonesia Dr. A.S. Panji Gumilang keen to appreciated with his name of its fabulous building?. It is simple, he said " all people can give thing precious easily when the person has passed a way and no bodies talk about him negatively. there is no point at all". " what we do is absolutely kind of innovation and this is the time for us".

Comparative Teaching of Old Greek and Latin/Lesson 02 Part 1

Comparative Teaching of Old Greek and Latin Lesson 02 Part 1

Translated from the Greek Wikipedia|Wikiversity: "Συγκριτική διδασκαλία των κλασικών γλωσσών / (Comparative Teaching of the Classical Languages)"

'''LESSON 02  PART 1. Grammatical and structural analysis of Old Greek and Latin texts.'''

(The two first courses should, occasionally, be repeated)

2.1.1. Grammatical analysis of the sentence - Parts of  speech.

(It should be given particular attention το the grammatical terms.)

Every effort to analyse  ancient texts, Old Greek or Latin, and translate them, should begin from the period. We first separate the text into periods and then every period into  its sentences and clauses. Every sentence or clause is analysed  into its parts, main and secondary. This process in the first courses should be analytic, that is to say should be analyzed, to the extend it is possible, all words of  the sentence or clause. Later, when it has been acquired some experience, the process  can become more synthetic, i.e. should  be analysed only   the words that present problems and they will be omitted, in the analysis, the words  the meaning and the functions of which in the  sentence  are easily perceptible.

From grammatical aspect, the words of a sentence may belong to ten different categories, which are named parts of speech: article, substantive, adjective, pronoun, verb,  participle, adverb,  preposition, conjunction and   interjection. The first six are declinable and the next four are indeclinable. In Latin the parts of speech are nine, because it does not exist the article. The declinable parts of speech, in  both languages, have “consequent terms” that is other determinative words,  which determine parts of speech in detail and are separated into consequent terms  of nouns, as cases,  gender,  number and declension, and of verbs, as disposition, voice,  number, person, mood,  tense and conjugation. Our knowledge of the meaning and the functions of a word in the sentence  will be better, if we know a lot of consequent terms about that word.

From the eight cases the Indoeuropean Language had1,2 i.e. nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, vocative, ablative, organic and local, Ancient Greek maintained the first five and Latin the first six ones. Remains of the organic and local cases were saved in adverbial expressions both in the Old Greek and Latin language. As for the gender both Old Greek and Latin maintained the three genders of the Indoeuropean Language1,3 i.e.  masculine, feminine, and neuter. From the three numbers the Indoeuropean Language had1,2 i.e. the singular, dual and plural, Ancient Greek maintained all  while Latin10, as Modern Greek did, maintained only two of them, namely the singular and plural. From the three declensions, that very probably Indoeuropean4 had, Ancient Greek maintained all of them, while Latin developed two more, the fourth11 and fifth declension,  based on the  third declension forms.

In the system of the verb both ancient languages increased in four the two dispositions of the Indoeuropean Language5,6, i.e. active and  passive,  by adding the middle and neutral disposition, they also maintained the  two voices5,7, active and  passive, as Modern Greek did. The difference between disposition and  voice is that the first one denotes what the subject makes or what suffers, while the second one,  declares with which endings the verbal forms are declined. From the three numbers of the Indoeuropean Language8,9, singular, dual and plural, Ancient Greek maintained all three and Latin, as Modern Greek, only  two,  singular and  plural. The persons in both languages are three, first, second and third person, singular and plural.

The moods in Ancient Greek are  the indicative, the subjunctive, the optative and imperative. Latin does not have forms of  the optative, instead of which  it  uses  forms  of subjunctive. With forms of subjunctive in Latin or of indicative and optative  in Old Greek it  is also formed   the potential  mood. Ancient Greek maintained the two conjugations of the Indoeuropean Language1,2, the first one with verbs ending in –ω  and the second  one with verbs ending in –μι. Latin developed the first conjugation of the Indoeuropean Language  in four conjugations being  distinguished   by the ending  of  present active  infinitive  (-a’re, - e're, - ere, - i’re). Besides moods there also  exist  the   noun forms of the verb,  i.e. infinitive and participle  in Ancient Greek and infinitive, participle,  supine, gerund and gerundivum  in Latin.

The tenses of the verb  in Old  Greek, that, it is sure,  are more  than the tenses which the Indoeuropean Language had got3,4, are:  present,  imperfect, future, aorist, perfect, past perfect and future perfect. Latin does not have aorist, in its place uses the perfect. Present generally declares present and duration,  imperfect past and duration,  future future and permanent or momentary action,  aorist  past and  momentary action,  perfect  present and completed action, past perfect  past and completed  action and future perfect  future and completed  action. In Latin perfect also denotes past and   momentary  action, as  Greek  aorist does.

Future perfect /     ama’vero     /    -     /    -    /    -    /    -

In the Latin Language the present tense  has moreover  the  noun forms of  the verb:  supine, gerund and gerundivum. In passive voice the future perfect has an infinitive. In passive voice participle there is only in the perfect tense. More special cases will be examined in the texts.

2.1.2. Structural analysis of  a sentence - the basic terms.

(It should be given particular attention to the syntactic terms.)

From syntactic aspect the terms of each sentence can be main, as the subject and the predicate, and secondary, as the determinations. For easier comprehension of the syntactic structure of the ancient languages we will classify, at the syntactic analysis, the words of each sentence in ten categories - basic terms: five main terms, i.e.  subject, verb,  direct object,  indirect object and predicative, and five determinations:  i.e.  nominal (noun, substantive) determination, adjectival and predicative determination, adverbial noun (noun, substantive) determination,  adverbial determination and prepositional determination.

When we analyze, in order to translate, a text, after we have separated  it into periods and the periods into sentences and clauses, we will first find and analyse the main terms of each sentence, or participle or infinitive that exists in the sentence. The remaining words will constitute determinations. If after the finding the main terms there is left over a  substantive this will be a nominal of the same case determination or a nominal of different case  determination, in case it determines other name, or  an adverbial noun determination, in case it determines a verb. If an adjective, pronoun or participle is left over it will be an adjectival or predicative determination. If an adverb is left over it will be  an adverbial determination and if it is  left over a preposition with a noun it will be a prepositional determination. Conjunctions and interjections are only recognized grammatically in accordance with their functions  in the sentence. More special cases will be examined in the texts.

Subject of a sentence is the person or thing or clause etc. that makes or suffers what the verb says or generally the person or thing or clause etc. about which the verb of the sentence says something. In both languages, as in Modern Greek as well, as subjects they are used substantives (ὁ Θεός ἐστι δίκαιος), pronouns,  adjectives used as substantives (οἱ θνητοί εἰσιν ἐφήμεροι),  participles  (οἱ φιλοσοφοῦντές εἰσιν τίμιοι ), infinitives (τὸ μανθάνειν ἐστὶν ἡδύ) and clauses near impersonal verbs (ὅ πάντες ἐθρύλουν γέγονε),   prepositional determinations (ἀπέθανον περὶ τοὺς χιλίους)  etc. In Latin, because of the lack of article, an adjective or a participle  is seldom used as subject. The case of a subject is the nominative. However, when the subject  is of an  infinitive and  it is different from the subject of the main verb of the clause, then it enters in accusative case. The subject of a participle always enters in case same with the case of the participle.

Predicative denotes a quality of the subject or of the object of a verb, which in this case is said conjunctive verb. Generally as predicatives are used the same words  that are also used as subjects (Σόλων ἦν νομοθέτης, τὸ  αἰσθάνεσθαι ἐπίστασθαί ἐστι). Predicative agrees with its subject on gender, number and case, if it is an adjective (ἡ θυγάτηρ ἐστὶν ἀγαθή) or at least on case, if it is a substantive (ὁ χρυσός ἐστι μέταλλον). When it is a substantive it enters also in genitive case, which is then said predicative genitive (ἡ ἡγεμονία ἐστὶ τῶν πολιτῶν, Πρόξενος ἦν τριάκοντα ἐτῶν, ἡ οἰκία ἐστὶ ταλάντου). In Latin substantial predicative also enters in dative case, in order to declare aim, and in ablative, in order to  declare quality or situation. Near verbs of movement an adjective can be used as adverbial predicative denoting place, manner, time, aim, order (ἐγὼ ἑόρακά σε ἄσμενος). Near verbs that declare development it can be used a substantive or an adjective as preventive predicative or as predicative of result, that declares the result of an action that is found in development (μέγας ἐκ μικροῦ Φίλιππος ηὔξηται).

Object of a verb is what accepts the action of the subject. It is direct with verbs taking one object (σὺ τρέφεις κύνας, ἐπεμελοῦντο τῆς πόλεως, πλησίαζε τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς) and indirect with verbs taking two objects (direct and indirect) (ἀποστερεῖ ἡμᾶς τὸν μισθόν, ἔπαυσαν τὸν Τιμόθεον τῆς στρατηγίας, φέρω πέπλον σοι, κοινωνῶ μηδενὸς τούτου). Generally as objects are roughly used the same terms that are also used as subjects. In order to distinguish which of the two objects, of a verb taking two objects, is the direct, we change the structure into passive voice, when the direct object becomes subject. The case of the direct object is usually the accusative, but there exist verbs that also accept object in genitive, dative and ablative.

If at the structural analysis of a sentence we have found the main basic terms, i.e. subject, verb,  direct object,  indirect object and predicative, if of course all of them exist in the sentence, the remaining words will be determinations. If it is left over a substantive, that determines a noun, it must be a nominal  determination of the same case, i.e.  apposition (ἀνὴρ ῥήτωρ, Ἀλέξανδρος ὁ βασιλεὺς ἦν Μακεδών, Σάμιος ὁ ναύαρχος) or explanation (μεγίστου κακοῦ ἀπαλλαγή, πονηρίας, ὁ κοινὸς ἰατρὸς θεραπεύσει σε, χρόνος) or   a nominal determination of different case, i.e. possessive genitive (οἶκος δεσπότου, ἡ ἀρετὴ τοῦ ἀνδρός), genitive of creator or author (νόμοι Δράκοντος ), genitive of  origin (Θουκυδίδης Ὀλόρου ), genitive of divided whole (μέρος τι τῶν βαρβάρων, οἱ σώφρονες τῶν πολιτῶν), genitive of matter or content (σωρὸς σίτου, τοῖχος πλίνθου), genitive of quality (λευκότης χιόνος ), genitive of measure (ὀκτὼ σταδίων τεῖχος), genitive of value (ἱερὰ τριῶν ταλάντων), genitive of cause (γραφὴ ἀσεβείας), subjective  genitive (ἡ βασιλέως ἐπιορκία, φόβος τῶν βαρβάρων), objective genitive (ἐπιθυμία τοῦ ὕδατος), dative of utility (ἦσαν γὰρ τοῖς Ἀθηναίοις οἱ ἱππεῖς ὠφέλιμοι), dative of friendship (ὁ ἀγαθὸς ἔστω φίλος τῷ ἀγαθῷ), dative of enmity (τύραννος ἐχθρὸς ἐλευθερίᾳ καὶ νόμοις ἐναντίος), dative of obedience (εὐπειθὴς τοῖς ἄρχουσι), dative of identity or resemblance (ὁμοίαν ταῖς δούλαις εἶχεν τὴν ἐσθῆτα), dative of equality or matching (τὸ αἰσχρὸν ἀνάρμοστόν ἐστι τῷ θεῷ),  dative of relation (τῷ μὲν τρόπῳ γίγνου φιλοπροσήγορος), accusative of relation (ἀνὴρ θαυμάσιος τὸ κάλλος).

If the substantive that is left over determines a verb it will be an adverbial noun determination as genitive of time (ἐφυλάττοντο νυκτός τε καί ἡμέρας), genitive of cause (αἰτιᾶσθαι ἀλλήλους τοῦ γεγενημένου, ἀσεβείας φεύγω ὑπὸ Μελήτου), genitive of quantity (πόσου διδάσκει Πρόδικος;), genitive of value (Θεμιστοκλέα τῶν μεγίστων δωρεῶν ἠξίωσαν ), genitive of relation (τί δὲ ἵππων οἴει;),   dative of place (Οἱ Ἕλληνες ἔστησαν τρόπαια Μαραθῶνι καὶ Σαλαμῖνι), dative of time (τετάρτῃ δὲ ἡμέρᾳ καταβαίνουσιν εἰς τὸ πεδίον), dative of cause (δειλίᾳ ἔλιπον τὴν τάξιν, χαλεπῶς φέρω τοῖς παροῦσι πράγμασι),  instrumental dative (ἔβαλέ με λίθοις), dative of  means or escort (Ξέρξης διακοσίαις καὶ χιλίαις ναυσὶν ἀφίκετο), dative of quantity (πολλῷ κρεῖττον), dative of relation (οὔτε ποσὶν εἰμι ταχὺς οὔτε χερσὶν ἰσχυρός), accusative of time (τὴν μητέρα τελευτήσασαν πέπαυμαι τρέφων τρίτον ἔτος τουτί), accusative of place (πέμψομεν αὐτόν Ἑλλάδα), accusative of extent, (ἀπέχει Πλάταια Θηβῶν σταδίους ἑβδομήκοντα), accusative of cause  (ἀλλ’ αὐτὰ ταῦτα καὶ νῦν ἥκω παρά σε), accusative of manner (τίνα τρόπον κόψω τὴν θύραν;). In Latin many of the uses of the genitive and dative are expressed with the ablative, as, near names, the ablative of quality, the comparative ablative, the ablative of society or escort, the ablative of relation and, near verbs, the instrumental ablative, the ablative of measure,   of difference, of time etc.

If an adjective or a pronoun or a participle is left over, during the analysis of a sentence,  it will be an adjectival (τὰς παλαιὰς πράξεις) or predicative determination (καὶ κατεκαύθη πᾶσα ἡ πόλις), adjectival, when permanent quality is declared, and predicative (κατέλαβον τὰς κώμας ἐρήμους), when non permanent quality is declared, adjectival if the adjective has an article, predicative if the substantive has an article but the adjective has not. If it is left over an adverb it will be an adverbial determination and if it is left over a preposition with its object (usually substantive), it will be a prepositional  determination. More special cases will be examined in in the texts.

2.1.3. Peculiarities, deflections and  completions:

(These elements are studied in second and in third phase, i.e. after it has been completed the study of the regular course.)

1. Latin grammars written in foreign languages do not usually report as separate parts of speech the participle and the interjection neither make they discrimination between adjectival and predicative determination. 2. Sometimes the subject and seldom the object of the verb of a noun clause of “ὅτι” or of an indirect question clause  it is transported to the main sentence as object and this form it is called prevention (οἶδα τὸν ἄνθρωπον ὡς θνητός ἐστι).

3. A Subject of neutral gender and plural  number accepts a verb of 3rd singular person, Attic structure (τὰ ἱερὰ οὐκ ἐγίγνετο).

4. A pronominal subject (i.e. a pronoun as subject) of neutral gender is usually drawn by the gender of the predicative, attraction of gender (usually being said attraction of the relative) (αὕτη (= τοῦτο) ἄλλη πρόφασις ἦν).

5. The object of the same root as the verb, when it is omitted and in its place it is used as object the adjectival determination, has often adverbial meaning (μέγα φθέγγομαι, δεινὰ ὑβρίζω).

6. The adjectival determination compares the determined word to another person or thing, the predicative determination compares the determined word to itself (ηὗρον τὴν ἔρημον πόλιν,  ηὗρον τὴν πόλιν ἔρημον). 7. The adjectives ἄκρος, μέσος, ἔσχατος, ἥμισυς,  μόνος, πᾶς, ἅπας, ὅλος   when they are without an article and determine a substantive with article are predicative determinations.

Nutrition For the More Experienced African American Woman

Heart Disease

Heart Disease is the #1 killer of women in the United States and African American women are more likely to get this disease than any other race. African American Women are 35% more prone to getting Heart Disease than non-Hispanic white women. This can be due to the fact that African American women have higher rates of obesity and being overweight, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Just by leading a healthier lifestyle, women can lower their rates of getting heart disease by 82%. Women are more likely to get heart disease after menopause because their body no longer produces estrogen. Middle age is the time when most women tend to develop other risk factors related to heart disease.

What is Heart Disease?

Heart disease is a broad term used to describe a range of diseases that affect your heart, and in some cases, your blood vessels. The various diseases that fall under the umbrella of heart disease include diseases of your blood vessels, such as coronary artery disease; heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias); and heart defects you're born with (congenital heart defects).

The term "heart disease" is often used interchangeably with "cardiovascular disease" — a term that generally refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain (angina) or stroke. Other heart conditions, such as infections and conditions that affect your heart's muscle, valves or beating rhythm also are considered forms of heart disease (MayoClinic Definition).

How Your Heart Works

The normal heart is about the size of a person’s fist and it is a pump made of muscle tissue. The heart has four chambers. The upper two chambers are the right atrium and left atrium, and the lower two are the right ventricle and left ventricle (see Figure A in diagram). Blood is pumped through the chambers, aided by four heart valves. The valves open and close to let the blood flow in only one direction.

The four heart valves are: 1.	the tricuspid valve, located between the right atrium and the right ventricle 2.	the pulmonary (pulmonic) valve, between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery 3.	the mitral valve, between the left atrium and left ventricle 4.	the aortic valve, between the left ventricle and the aorta. Each valve has a set of "flaps" (also called leaflets or cusps). The mitral valve normally has two flaps; the others have three flaps.

Dark bluish blood, low in oxygen, flows back to the heart after circulating through the body. It returns to the heart through veins and enters the right atrium. This chamber empties blood through the tricuspid valve (B) into the right ventricle.

The right ventricle pumps the blood under low pressure through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery. From there the blood goes to the lungs where it gets fresh oxygen (C). After the blood is refreshed with oxygen, it's bright red. Then it returns by the pulmonary veins to the left atrium. From there it passes through the mitral valve (D) and enters the left ventricle.

The left ventricle pumps the red oxygen-rich blood out through the aortic valve into the aorta (E). The aorta takes blood to the body's general circulation. The blood pressure in the left ventricle is the same as the pressure measured in the arm.

Obesity and Overweight

About four out of five African American women are overweight or obese. From 2003-2006, African American women were 70% more likely to be obese than Non-Hispanic White women. In 2007, African Americans were 1.4 times as likely to be obese as Non- Hispanic Whites. Age-adjusted percentage of persons 20 years of age and over who are overweight or obese, 2003-2006. Smoking The smoking rates among African American women usually increases during their 20s and then decreases later on. The fact that African American women smoke a lot during their earlier years is a major contributing factor to them having heart disease later on in life. This also contributes to the fact of black women being continuous smokers at more experienced ages.

Diabetes

Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert food, sugar, and starches into energy that individuals need daily. Diabetes occurs when the body does not correctly use or make insulin. There are two major types of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 Diabetes occurs when the body completely does not produce any amount of insulin. Type 2 Diabetes occurs when the body improperly uses the insulin, or does not produce enough of it. African American women age 20 years or older have type 2 diabetes, and about 1 in 4 African American women over the age of 55 has diabetes, which they more than likely experience blindness, amputation, and kidney failure. Twice the rate of white women. There is suggested research that shows that many African Americans carry a gene that predisposes them toward impaired glucose tolerance, one of the risk factors for diabetes.

How do I know if I am experiencing a heart attack?

If you are experiencing a heart attack, you will have the following problems: •	pain or discomfort in the center of the chest for more than 20 minutes •	pain or discomfort lasting more than 20 minutes in other parts of the upper body, including the arms, back, neck, jaw, or stomach •	other symptoms, including shortness of breath (feeling like you can't get enough air), breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea (feeling sick to your stomach), or feeling faint

Other symptoms you may have include: •	unusual tiredness •	trouble sleeping •	problems breathing •	indigestion (upset stomach) •	anxiety (feeling uneasy or worried)

YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CALL 911 IF THESE SYMPTOMS OCCUR!

Prevention

In order for you to help decrease your risk of getting heart disease you should do the following: 1.	Exercise: You should try and exercise for at least 30 minutes daily. If not daily, try to exercise most days of the week. Small exercising strategies can make a big improvement as well: taking the stairs and walking to your destinations. 2.	Eating Healthy: Eat whole-grain foods, vegetables, and fruit. Choose lean meats and low-fat cheese and dairy products. Limit foods that have lots of saturated fat, like butter, whole milk, baked goods, ice cream, fatty meats, and cheese. Eat fish at least twice a week, particularly fatty fish. Choose fats and oils such as liquid and tub margarines, canola, corn, safflower, soy bean and olive oils.

Transfats

Trans fats are unsaturated, but they can raise total and LDL ("bad") cholesterol and lower HDL ("good") cholesterol. Trans fats result from adding hydrogen to vegetable oils used in commercial baked goods and for cooking in most restaurants and fast-food chains. Examples are cookies, crackers, donuts, French fries, and etc.

Fats That Raise Cholesterol Examples Dietary cholesterol,foods from animals,	meats, egg yolks, dairy products, organ meats (heart, etc.), fish and poultry

Saturated fats

foods from animals,whole milk, cream, ice cream, whole-milk cheeses, butter, lard and meats, certain plant oils,palm, palm kernel and coconut oils, cocoa butter

Trans fats

partially hydrogenated vegetable oils,cookies, crackers, cakes, French fries, fried onion rings, donuts

Fats That Lower Cholesterol

Polyunsaturated fats,certain plant oils,safflower, sesame, soy, corn and sunflower-seed oils, nuts and seeds Monounsaturated fats,certain plant oils	olive, canola and peanut oils, avocados Search Your Heart Program

The American Heart Association’s Search Your Heart program is a community-based educational program/tool to reach high-risk audiences. It was built to encourage people to take action and reduce their risk for heart disease and stroke. Since its beginnings in 1996, over 15,000 churches across the country have participated in the Search Your Heart program and it has reached over 1.5 million at-risk participants. The program provides people with information about how to go about reducing the risks of heart disease, by talking about nutrition and physical wellness.

Many children’s toys are marked with a specific age range on the packaging to determine if a child is old enough to play with them. The age range serves as a guide to parents or grandparents on how old their children must be to play safely with the product. If the toy has small parts, most likely the age range is higher to prevent accidental swallowing and choking. Although important to avoid, these aren’t the only ways toys can be harmful to children. Many toys manufactured overseas and imported to the United States, antique toys, or collectible toys have been made using lead. Lead can be found in the paint used on toys, or in the production of the plastic used to make the toy. In the U.S. in 1978, lead was banned in house paint, on merchandise marketed towards children, and in dishes and cookware. The use of lead in plastics, however, has not been banned. Lead allows the plastic to be softened and makes it more flexible and return to its original shape if stretched. The purpose of lead used in toys is to stabilize the molecules from heat. Still, when toys made with lead are exposed to sunlight, air, or detergents, the chemical bond between the lead and the plastics break down and forms a dust. Lead is invisible to the naked eye and has no taste or smell. To be exposed to lead, all a child has to do is handle the toy that contains lead, and then put their hands in their mouth. Sometimes, children put their hands or the toys in their mouths, even sucking or chewing on them which can expose them to lead. The only way to accurately test for the presence of lead in a toy is through a certified laboratory test. Do-it-yourself kits are available to the general population, but they do not indicate exactly how much lead is present, and they have not been proved reliable at detecting low levels of lead.

What to do if you suspect your child has been exposed to lead: •	Remove the toy from your child •	Contact your health care provider and consider a blood lead test •	If your child swallows the toy, contact your local Poison Control Center

How to prevent lead poisoning from toys: •	Wash your children’s hands often, especially before eating •	Wash your children’s toys often •	Provide a nutritious and well-balanced diet with plenty of foods that are high in iron and calcium (children who may be undernourished can absorb more lead into their body than children with a healthy diet)
