The textual, archaeological, linguistic and ethnographic evidence examined in this study supports the view that the Lower Dniester region is one of the oldest regions of wine-making. The documents, artifacts and linguistic evidence containing information in relation to origin of wine-making from prospective of the origin of Dionysian cult is focused on the fullest archaeological and textual evidence from Circum-Pontic and east Mediterranean regions. The role and impact of wine on the culture and religion of ancient lands of Lower Dniester and early Indo-Europeans represented by archaeological evidences is illustrated in many ways. Reexamination of the Dionysian mythology by means of the interdisciplinary approach shows strong evidence of its place of origin.

On methodology of particles’ study – particles and thematic-rhematic of sentences
S u m m a r y
The article concerns the differences in the functioning of the two particles –
głównie and przede wszystkim. Having analysed the definitions and contexts of
the lexemes the author suggests that these differences should be examined on
the basis of the way the particles choose the rhematic part of a sentence. Both of
them are used to single out an element from a set of other ones which are similar
to a certain extent but which are charecterised by a different degree of intensity of the same feature. However, przede wszystkim additionally substantiates the
choice and simultaneously comments on the way of speaking about the world.

There are several issues at play within Enterprise Search (ES), a major one is that enterprises are finding it difficult to retrieve their data using current ES solutions. This research is a step towards improving this. By designing, implementing and evaluating a system for Enterprise Information Retrieval, with an improved search result presentation technique, which assists users during search tasks. This was accomplished by researching current ES systems and search result presentation techniques. This research resulted in finding two forms of document summaries, namely a textual document summary technique: Top Ranking Sentences (TRS) and a visual document summary technique: Thumbnails. These document summaries have been designed to support a user during information seeking activity. The system developed was named Basora Enterprise Search (BES) and was developed using an agile software development approach. It incorporates the TRS and Thumbnail into its search result presentation technique. The BES prototype was put through both a performance and user evaluation. The first test indicated that BES performs more or less equal to the Commercial Enterprise Search Solution IBM Omnifind 8.5, while providing the user with two extra forms of document summaries. The user evaluation focussed on evaluation the effectiveness of the new search result presentation technique. The results of the user evaluation show that there are various search tasks where the addition of these summary elements has a positive effect on relevance assessment and query reformulation. This research indicates that the BES system actually helps a user assess the relevance of a document, minimizing the amount of documents that need to be opened before the user finds the desired one. It also indicates that the additional visual and textual document summaries assist the user when reformulating a search query, decreasing the time it takes a user to complete a search task.

Both eBay and Bank of America have verified my ID using the level of encryption and security I normally maintain. Amazon.com and Sprint now ask me to remove my firewall for the purpose of "securely verifying my identity." I refuse to downgrade security for them. I believe this is still discrimination, asking deaf to have less security than hearing for the important purpose of identity verification. Obviously I am concerned about identity theft. Yet I am the only person I know of in the world with my unique name.
