Easy Way To Face Examination


1. Set goals to reduce your daily barriers mobility.
Think about all of your household activities (i.e., dressing, grooming myself, using the bathroom, etc.).  Then ask yourself these questions:
  • “What are the most physically challenging things I do each day?”
  • “If those things were no longer a serious challenge because I had a electric wheelchair, how much would my life improve?
  • “How much happier, safer, more comfortable, more active, or more productive would I be if I had an electric wheelchair? Why?”
When you know what you need or want, you will be your own best advocate.
2. Write it down.
Understand how your unique physical limitations impacts your daily activities.  Why do you have to make a list? The average time spend in the waiting room at the doctor’s office is about 15 to 30 minutes.  By the time my doc sees me, I am hungry and simply warn out by the wait – and hardly in the mood to have a detailed talk with my doctor.   Having a complete list of all of your problems or concerns will ensure that you leave with the  appropriate prescription that best suits your unique situation.
3. Bring a friend.
Choose someone you spend a lot time with, like a friend or family member, to come along with you to the exam.  Their observations about your lifestyle, level of support needed, and safety concerns can help.  You may be surprised that they might notice even subtle things about your unique needs.
4. Tell your physician what you need – and I mean EVERYTHING.
If you had trouble getting to the toilet in time last night because you could not operate your manual wheelchair, bring that up.  Simply put, you must help your doctor to help you get the proper prescription! Refer to your list, be honest and upfront about all of the “details”.  Provide examples of how the powerchair would help you significantly improve your daily living experience.  Paint a very clear picture, and you’ll be on your way.
Good luck on your exam!

10 Tips to Study Smart and Save Time


Learning Holistically
The alternative strategy is to focus on actually using the information you have to build something. This involves linking concepts together and compressing information so it fits in the bigger picture. Here are some ideas to get started:
  1. Metaphor – Metaphors can allow you to quickly organize information by comparing a complex idea to a simple one. When you find relationships between information, come up with analogies to increase your understanding. Compare neurons with waves on a string. Make metaphors comparing parts of a brain with sections of your computer.
  2. Use All Your Senses - Abstract ideas are difficult to memorize because they are far removed from our senses. Shift them closer by coming up with vivid pictures, feelings and images that relate information together. When I learned how to do a determinant of a matrix, I remembered the pattern by visualizing my hands moving through the numbers, one adding and one subtracting.
  3. Teach It - Find someone who doesn’t understand the topic and teach it to them. This exercise forces you to organize. Spending five minutes explaining a concept can save you an hour of combined studying for the same effect.
  4. Leave No Islands – When you read through a textbook, every piece of information should connect with something else you have learned. Fast learners do this automatically, but if you leave islands of information, you won’t be able to reach them during a test.
  5. Test Your Mobility - A good way to know you haven’t linked enough is that you can’t move between concepts. Open up a word document and start explaining the subject you are working with. If you can’t jump between sections, referencing one idea to help explain another, you won’t be able to think through the connections during a test.
  6. Find Patterns – Look for patterns in information. Information becomes easier to organize if you can identify broader patterns that are similar across different topics. The way a neuron fires has similarities to “if” statements in programming languages.
  7. Build a Large Foundation - Reading lots and having a general understanding of many topics gives you a lot more flexibility in finding patterns and metaphors in new topics. The more you already know, the easier it is to learn.
  8. Don’t Force - I don’t spend much time studying before exams. Forcing information during the last few days is incredibly inefficient. Instead try to slowly interlink ideas as they come to you so studying becomes a quick recap rather than a first attempt at learning.
  9. Build Models – Models are simple concepts that aren’t true by themselves, but are useful for describing abstract ideas. Crystallizing one particular mental image or experience can create a model you can reference when trying to understand. When I was trying to tackle the concept of subspaces, I visualized a blue background with a red plane going through it. This isn’t an entirely accurate representation of what a subspace is, but it created a workable image for future ideas.
  10. Learning is in Your Head – Having beautiful notes and a perfectly highlighted textbook doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the information in it. Your only goal is to understand the information so it will stick with you for assignments, tests and life. Don’t be afraid to get messy when scrawling out ideas on paper and connecting them in your head. Use notes and books as a medium for learning rather than an end result.

Roman Civilization

The history of Rome spans 2,800 years of the existence of a city that grew from a small Italian village in the 9th century BC into the centre of a vastcivilisation that dominated the Mediterranean region for centuries. Its political power was eventually replaced by that of peoples of mostly Germanic origin, marking the beginning of the Middle AgesRome became the seat of the Roman Catholic Church and the home of a sovereign state, the Vatican City, within its walls. Today it is the capital of Italy, an international worldwide political and cultural centre, a major global city,[1] and is regarded as one of the most beautiful cities of the ancient world.

                     As the Romans were conquering the whole Mediterranean, the rich men who were running the government got richer and richer - very very rich. They began fighting each other to rule the new empire. By 30 BC one man - Augustus - was ruling the Roman Empire. After Augustus died, hisrelatives inherited his throne.
For the next two hundred years, the Roman Empire enjoyed a long peace while one man after another became Roman Emperors. Some women, likeAgrippina and Julia Domna, also held power. But about 220 AD, the Sassanians began to attack the Roman Empire more aggressively from the East, and the Germanic peoples to the North took advantage of this to attack also. In order to get enough soldiers, the emperors had to hireVisigoths and Ostrogoths from outside the empire to fight as mercenaries.
A time of peace allowed the early 300s to be a relatively good time for the Roman Empire. But the wars began again in the 350s, and even though theyfought well, by the late 400s the emperors had to abandon much of the Western Empire to the mercenary troops who had once worked for them.
In the eastern Mediterranean the Roman Empire still continued, with its capital at Constantinople. But as in the West, the Romans were increasingly using mercenary soldiers, especially Arabs. By the 600s, those Arabs also began tofight Rome instead of helping, and they soon established the Islamic Empire in place of the Roman one. The last little bit of the old Roman Empire - the capital at Constantinople - fell to the Islamic Empire in 1453 AD.

Chineas Civilization.

Chinese civilization originated in various regional centers along both the Yellow River and the Yangtze River valleys in the Neolithic era, but the Yellow River is said to be the Cradle of Chinese Civilization. The written history of China can be found as early as the Shang Dynasty (c. 1700 – 1046 BC),[1] although ancient historical texts such as the Records of the Grand Historian (ca. 100 BC) and Bamboo Annals assert the existence of an Xia Dynasty before the Shang.[1][2] Oracle bones with ancient Chinese writing from the Shang Dynasty have been radiocarbon dated to as early as 1500 BC.[3] The origins of present-day Chinese cultureliterature and philosophy developed during the Zhou Dynasty (1045-256 BC).
The Zhou Dynasty began to bow to external and internal pressures in the 8th century BC, and the kingdom eventually broke apart into smaller states, beginning in the Spring and Autumn Period and reaching full expression in the Warring States period. This is one of multiple periods offailed statehood in Chinese history (the most recent of which was the Chinese Civil War).
In between eras of multiple kingdoms and warlordism, Chinese dynasties (or, more recently, republics) have ruled all of China (minus Xinjiangand Tibet) (and, in some eras, including the present, they have controlled Xinjiang and/or Tibet as well). This practice began with the Qin Dynasty: in 221 BC, Qin Shi Huang united the various warring kingdoms and created the first Chinese empire. Successive dynasties in Chinese history developed bureaucratic systems that enabled the Emperor of China to directly control vast territories.
The conventional view of Chinese history is that of alternating periods of political unity and disunity, with China occasionally being dominated byInner Asian peoples, most of whom were in turn assimilated into the Han Chinese population. Cultural and political influences from many parts of Asia, carried by successive waves of immigration, expansion, and cultural assimilation, are part of the modern culture of China.




Greek Civilization.

Ancient Greece is the civilization belonging to the period of Greek history lasting from the Archaic period of the 8th to 6th centuries BC to the end of antiquity and beginning of the Early Middle Ages with the rise of the Byzantine era following Justinian I.[1] At the center of this time period is Classical Greece, which flourished during the 5th to 4th centuries BC, at first under Athenian leadership successfully repelling the military threat of Persian invasion. The Athenian Golden Age ends with the defeat of Athens at the hands of Sparta in the Peloponnesian War in 404 BC. Following the conquests of Alexander the GreatHellenistic civilization flourished from Central Asia to the western end of the Mediterranean Sea.

The historical period of ancient Greece is unique in world history as the first period attested directly in proper historiography, while earlier ancient history or proto-history is known by much more circumstantial evidence, such as annals or king lists, and pragmatic epigraphy.
Herodotus is widely known as the "father of history", his Histories being eponymous of the entire field. Written between the 450s and 420s BC, the scope of Herodotus' work reaches about a century into the past, discussing 6th-century historical figures such as Darius I of PersiaCambyses II and Psamtik III, and alludes to some 8th-century ones such as Candaules.
Herodotus was succeeded by authors such as ThucydidesXenophonDemosthenesPlato and Aristotle. Most of these authors were either Athenians or pro-Athenians, which is why far more is known about the history and politics of Athens than of many other cities. Their scope is further limited by a focus on political, military and diplomatic history, ignoring economic and social history.[6]
