Even More "What They Say'

They also say, and so do we, that Apollo was a Greek and Roman god representing most aspects of civilization and order. He was worshiped at, among many other places, Delphi. Zeus was his father. He has been called a sun god. He has been contrasted with Dionysus. He has been identified with Hyperion, the Titan he succeeded.

More 'What They Say'

Dido, the queen of Carthage of that time, fell in love with Aeneas and later committed suicide when she realized that he could not stay with her long. After trials and adventures, Aeneas arrived in what is now Italy.
The ancient Romans believed that they were descended from the followers of Aeneas.
Bet there is some truth in 'what they say.'

What They Say

Myth is what they say; or what they used to say. For example: they said of Aeneas, a leader on the Trojan side of the Trojan war, that when Troy fell he fled with his father and his son and was shipwrecked at Carthage in northern Africa.

West Balt to Prussian

The old West Balt language of what became Prussia seems closely related to Lithuanian and Latvian. some see it as coming from Proto-Slavic language. However, it shows some relationship to Sanskrit, Ancient Greek, and Gothic; English does too, doesn't it.

Two more recent Prussians of note are Copernicus and Kant. The Polish and German influence are see through these two greats.

One might think of the existence of a Prussian identity as beginning with year one. However, it was about 180 AD before the West Baltic tribes like Galindai, and Soudinnoi are mentioned by Claudius Polemacus. Romans tended to call those Balts the Western People. Cornelius Tacitus in his Germania XLV calls the west Baltic tribes Aestiorum gente. They were given names like Hesti, Aesti, Estum by persons like Cassiodoris in about AD 524, Jordanus in 550 Ad, Einbert in 831, and Walsta in 890. Don't make any big bets on my spelling. Others might be sure that a Prussian identity began shortly after acquisition by the Hobenzollerns in 1414 AD

In the 5th through the 9th century Prussians carried on trade(notably amber products)along the 'amber way' up to Pannonia and Trusa, the center of Prussian trade in the north,

Prussians may well call the lands along the Baltic Sea from the Gulf of Riga to the Bay of Danzig. They may once have occupied lands between Moscow and Kiev, Warsaw and West Finland, and may have ranged from Tallinn to Berlin. Others may say that it was a bit of land-locked sand outside Berlin.

Discovering Twitter

I'm discovering Twitter, but have not seen a way to make it useful to me.

Is there a way to use it for multi-person dialogue.

Twitter

I've found Twitter.
I'm not sure of how it works yet.
I wonder what the nature of dialogue is there.

Breathing Exercises

My intention here is to begin to list and describe about twenty breathing exercises.

Everything done on purpose in life in which one is aware of breathing might correctly be called a breathing exercise. I want to list here only the exercises in which breathing seems to be the main focus. Still my choices are, of course, arbitrary.

The first exercise I am listing is a boarderline case.

ba:
Tighten abdominal muscle while breathing.
~ Stand with your arms stretched out in from of the body slightly above chest level, palms down.
~ Inhale completely, so that your lungs fill with air and the chest expands.
~ Then begin to exhale slowly; using mainly the abdominal muscles to force air out of the lungs.
~ As you exhale, slowly drop your arms to your sides and tighten your abdominal muscles as much as you can.
~ Bring arms up as you inhale.
~ repeat about seven times.
~ Practice until you are breathing smoothly and rhythmically.
