<li><strong>Jaringan Wireless</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Teknologi wireless merupakan peralatan untuk berkomunikasi tanpa koneksi fisik. Pada teknologi wireless ini menggunakan transmisi frekwensi radio sebagai alat untuk mengirimkan datanya.</p>
<p>Jaringan wireless merupakan jaringan tanpa kabel yang menggunakan gelombang radio sebagai media transmisi data. Pengelompokkan jaringan wireless berdasarkan jaringannya ada 3 macam, yaitu : <em>Wireless Wide Area Network </em>(WWAN), WLAN, dan <em>Wireless Personal Area  Network </em>(WPAN).</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Keuntungannya</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Keuntungan yang akan dirasakan oleh user dengan adanya wireless untuk koneksi internet, yaitu user dapat melakukan koneksi internet kapan saja dan dimana saja asalkan masih berada dalam ruang lingkup hot-spot, selain itu dalam segi biaya pembangunan, wireless jauh lebih murah bila dibandingkan dengan kabel.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Kelemahannya</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Selain itu jaringan wireless juga memiliki lebih banyak kelemahan dibanding dengan jaringan kabel. Secara umum kelemahan jaringan wireless terdapat pada konfigurasi dan jenis enkripsi yang digunakan. Salah satu penyebab kelemahan pada konfigurasi dikarenakan saat ini untuk membangun sebuah jaringan wireless cukup mudah maka banyak vendor yang memudahkan pengguna atau admin jaringan sehingga sering ditemukan wireless yang masih menggunakan konfigurasi wireless default bawaan vendor. Contohnya sering ditemukan wireless yang dipasang pada jaringan setting defaultnya seperti SSID, IP Address , remote manajemen, DHCP enable, kanal frekuensi masih bawaan darri vendor.</p>
<p>WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) yang menjadi standart keamanan wireless sebelumnya, saat ini dapat dengan mudah dipecahkan dengan berbagai tools yang tersedia gratis di internet. WPA-PSK dan LEAP yang dianggap menjadi solusi menggantikan WEP, saat ini juga sudah dapat dipecahkan dengan metode dictionary attack secara offline.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pengamanan pada jaringan wireless</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Untuk menghindari jaringan wireless di hack maka diperlukan pengamanan pada jaringan wireless, diantaranya adalah :</p>
<p><strong>1.    Memakai Enkripsi. </strong></p>
<p>Enkripsi merupakan ukuran security yang pertama, tetapi banyak wireless access points (WAP) tidak menggunakan enkripsi sebagai defaultnya. Kenyataannya WAP telah memiliki Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protocol, tetapi secara default tidak diaktifkan. WEP memang mempunyai beberapa lubang di securitynya, dan seorang hacker yang berpengalaman pasti dapat membukanya, tetapi itu masih tetap lebih baik daripada tidak ada enkripsi sama sekali. Pastikan untuk men-set metode WEP authentication dengan “shared key” daripada “open system”. Untuk “open system”, dia tidak meng-encrypt data, tetapi hanya melakukan otentifikasi client. Ubah WEP key sesering mungkin, dan pakai 128-bit WEP dibandingkan dengan yang 40-bit.</p>
<p><strong>2.    Pakai Enkripsi yang Kuat.</strong></p>
<p>Karena kelemahan kelemahan yang ada di WEP, maka dianjurkan untuk menggunakan juga Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). Untuk memakai WPA, WAP harus men-supportnya. Sisi client juga harus dapat men-support WPA tsb.</p>
<p><strong>3.    Ganti Default Password Administrator.<br />
</strong>Default password tersebut umumnya sudah diketahui oleh para hacker, yang nantinya dapat menggunakannya untuk merubah setting di WAP anda. Hal pertama yang harus dilakukan dalam konfigurasi WAP adalah mengganti password default tsb. Gunakan paling tidak 8 karakter, kombinasi antara huruf dan angka, dan tidak menggunakan kata kata yang ada dalam kamus.</p>
<p><strong>4.    Mematikan SSID Broadcasting.<br />
</strong>Service Set Identifier (SSID) adalah nama dari wireless network kita. Secara default, SSID dari WAP akan di broadcast. Hal ini akan membuat user mudah untuk menemukan network tsb, karena SSID akan muncul dalam daftar available networks yang ada pada wireless client. Jika SSID dimatikan, user harus mengetahui lebih dahulu SSID-nya agak dapat terkoneksi dengan network tsb.</p>
<p><strong>5.    Matikan WAP Saat Tidak Dipakai.<br />
</strong>Jika kita mempunyai user yang hanya terkoneksi pada saat saat tertentu saja, tidak ada alasan untuk menjalankan wireless network setiap saat dan menyediakan kesempatan bagi intruder untuk melaksanakan niat jahatnya. Kita dapat mematikan access point pada saat tidak dipakai.</p>
<p><strong>6.    Ubah default SSID.</strong></p>
<p>untuk mencegah orang lain tahu nama dari network kita, tetapi jika masih memakai default SSID, tidak akan sulit untuk menerka SSID dari network kita.</p>
<p><strong>7.    Memakai MAC Filtering.</strong></p>
<p>Kebanyakan WAP (bukan yang murah murah tentunya) akan memperbolehkan kita memakai filter media access control (MAC). Ini artinya kita dapat membuat “white list” dari computer computer yang boleh mengakses wireless network kita, berdasarkan dari MAC atau alamat fisik yang ada di network card masing masing pc. Koneksi dari MAC yang tidak ada dalam list akan ditolak. Metode ini tidak selamanya aman, karena masih mungkin bagi seorang hacker melakukan sniffing paket yang kita transmit via wireless network dan mendapatkan MAC address yang valid dari salah satu user, dan kemudian menggunakannya untuk melakukan spoof.</p>
<p><strong>8.    Mengisolasi Wireless Network dari LAN.</strong><br />
Untuk memproteksi internal network kabel dari ancaman yang datang dari wireless network, perlu kiranya dibuat wireless DMZ atau perimeter network yang mengisolasi dari LAN. Artinya adalah memasang firewall antara wireless network dan LAN. Dan untuk wireless client yang membutuhkan akses ke internal network, dia haruslah melakukan otentifikasi dahulu dengan RAS server atau menggunakan VPN. Hal ini menyediakan extra layer untuk proteksi.</p>
<p><strong>9.    Mengontrol Signal Wireless. 802.11b.<br />
</strong>WAP memancarkan gelombang sampai dengan kira kira 300 feet. Tetapi jarak ini dapat ditambahkan dengan cara mengganti antenna dengan yang lebih bagus. Dengan memakai high gain antena, kita bisa mendapatkan jarak yang lebih jauh. Directional antenna akan memancarkan sinyal ke arah tertentu, dan pancarannya tidak melingkar seperti yang terjadi di antenna omnidirectional yang biasanya terdapat pada paket WAP setandard. Selain itu, dengan memilih antena yang sesuai, kita dapat mengontrol jarak sinyal dan arahnya untuk melindungi diri dari intruder.</p>
<p><strong>10.    Memancarkan Gelombang pada Frequensi yang Berbeda.<br />
</strong>Salah satu cara untuk bersembunyi dari hacker yang biasanya memakai teknologi 802.11b/g yang lebih populer adalah dengan memakai 802.11a. Karena 802.11a bekerja pada frekwensi yang berbeda (yaitu di frekwensi 5 GHz), NIC yang di desain untuk bekerja pada teknologi yang populer tidak akan dapat menangkap sinyal tsb.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dalam implementasi pengembangan video konferensi,dapat dikembangkan dengan strategi perintisan/percontohan. Model strategi perintisan dirancang untuk penggunaan yang terbatas, melalui penciptaan model-model yang terbatas. Model video conference dikembangkan dan disempurnakan dalam ruang terbatas.</p>
<p>Misal dalam lingkup fakultas.</p>
<p>Pada strategi penahapan, perencanaan secara umum disiapkan secara</p>
<p>menyeluruh selangkah demi selangkah. Misalnya dikembangkan antar fakultas.</p>
<p>Dalam strategi serentak,implementasinya dilakukan secara serentak dan menyeluruh. Untuk  sampai ketahap ini perlu hasil dari suatu kajian model yang telah digagas dalam tahap terbatas dan pentahapan.</p>
<p>Tujuan penyelenggaran video konferensi untuk perluasan akses terhadap pusat dan sumber belajar dalam proses pembelajaran. Dalam takaran konsep,teknologi video conferensi digunakan sebagai salah satu cara penyampaian dalam proses,pembelajaran berbasis elektronik. Sehingga video conferensi dalam konteks ini dirancang untuk tujuan instruksional. Teknologi video konferensi untuk tujuan pembelajaran sifatnya lebih khusus dan spesifik karena model ini berangkat dari kebutuhan pembelajaran yang mulai tahap perencanaan, perancangan, implementasi dan evaluasi berpatokan pada kebutuhan pembelajar sesuai tuntutan kurikulum institusi yang mengembangkan.</p>
<p>Fungsi video conference dalam      pembelajaran</p>
<p>Fungsi video conference dalam proses pembelajaran dalam suatu institusi dapat dibedakan secara konseptual dan operasional.</p>
<p>Fungsi konseptual meliputi fungsi pengayaan,pengganti, pengajaran langsung dan penggerak (motivator).</p>
<p>Dalam fungsi pengayaan konferensi berbasis video dapat menyajikan bahan tambahan yang tidak dapat diberikan oleh pendidik, bahan tambahan ini bisa saja untuk memantapkan apa yang sebelumnya pernah diperoleh atau sekedar meningkatkan dan memperkaya perbendaharaan kasanah informasi yang relevan dengan tujuan pembelajaran.</p>
<p>Dalam fungsi pengganti Program konferensi berbasis video, dapat pula menyajikan hal-hal yang tidak dapat diperoleh oleh dari para pendidik, seperti misalnya menampilkan tokoh untuk meningkatkan tarik dan aksentuasi, penyajian peristiwa masa lalu,. Sedangkan video konferensi dalam fungsi pengajaran langsung biasanya dikemas untuk suatu tujuan khusus yang dinyatakan eksplisit.</p>
<p>Sedang dalam fungsinya yang terakhir penyelenggaran video konferensi dalam pembelajaran untuk fungsi penggerak. Dalam konteks ini program video konferensi dapat menampilkan rangsangan untuk suatu tindakan positif dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan, keterampilan dan sikap. Misalnya siaran format video realtime tentang suatu tokoh dalam pembelajaran yang terkenal akan inovasinya.</p>
<p>Komponens Sistem Video konferensi</p>
<p>sebuah sistem harus dibangun oleh beberapa komponen yang saling bersinergi,</p>
<p>berkolaborasi akan suatu tujuan, maka dalam penyelenggaran video konferensi persoalan pada</p>
<p>insfrastruktur, sarana dan prasarana sudah tidak menjadi persoalan lagi. Dalam konteks ini</p>
<p>persepsi dalam penyelenggaran video konferensi untuk memperluas akses terhadap pusat dan</p>
<p>sumber belajar menjadi garapan sangat serius pada komponen</p>
<p>1. hardware</p>
<p>2. insfrastruktur jaringan ( fisik dan logik)</p>
<p>3. software</p>
<p>4. materi</p>
<p>5. strategi interaksi, dan</p>
<p>6. pemeran</p>
<p>Konsep pembelajaran konvesional versus elektronik.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A <strong>determiner</strong> is a <a title="Noun" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noun">noun</a> modifier that expresses the reference of a noun or noun phrase in the context, including quantity, rather than attributes expressed by <a title="Adjective" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjective">adjectives</a>. This function is usually performed by <a title="Article (grammar)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_%28grammar%29">articles</a>, <a title="Demonstrative" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demonstrative">demonstratives</a>, <a title="Possessive determiner" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Possessive_determiner">possessive determiners</a>, or <a title="Quantifier" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantifier">quantifiers</a>.</p>
<p>As indicated in the tables below, many determiners can be used either as adjectives or as pronouns. As will be pointed out in the next chapter, when a determiner is used as an adjective modifying a noun, the determiner usually precedes any other adjectives modifying the same noun.</p>
<p>The use of the following determiners has already been discussed in previous chapters: <strong>a</strong>, <strong>an</strong>, <strong>the</strong>, <strong>this</strong>, <strong>that</strong>, these and <strong>those</strong>. The possessive adjectives <strong>my</strong>, <strong>your</strong>, <strong>his</strong>, <strong>her</strong>, <strong>our</strong> and <strong>their</strong> can also be classified as determiners.</p>
<p>As indicated below, many determiners may be used only with certain types of noun. In the following tables, the abbreviation <strong>CN</strong> stands for <a href="http://www.fortunecity.com/banners/interstitial.html?http://www.fortunecity.com/bally/durrus/153/gramch13.html#2"><strong>Countable Noun</strong></a>, and the abbreviation <strong>UN</strong> stands for <a href="http://www.fortunecity.com/banners/interstitial.html?http://www.fortunecity.com/bally/durrus/153/gramch16.html"><strong>Uncountable Noun</strong></a>. In these tables, the noun <strong>tree</strong> is used as an example of a countable noun, and the noun <strong>grass</strong> is used as an example of an uncountable noun.</p>

<p align="center"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Determiners used to refer to groups of two persons or things</span></strong></p>
<p>In Old English, there were singular forms, plural forms and dual forms. Dual forms are used to refer to two persons or things. In modern English, a few words still remain which refer to two persons or things.<br />
For example, the determiners <strong>both</strong>, <strong>either</strong> and <strong>neither</strong> are used when referring to groups of <span style="text-decoration:underline;">two</span>. <strong>Both</strong> refers to two things of a group of two, <strong>either</strong> refers to one thing of a group of two, and <strong>neither</strong> refers to zero things of a group of two.<br />
e.g. I have <span style="text-decoration:underline;">two</span> brothers. <strong>Both</strong> of them are engineers.<br />
I had <span style="text-decoration:underline;">two</span> maps of the city, but I cannot find <strong>either</strong> of them.<br />
There are <span style="text-decoration:underline;">two</span> textbooks for the course. <strong>Neither</strong> of them is expensive.</p>
<p>In contrast, the determiners <strong>all</strong>, <strong>any</strong> and <strong>none</strong> may be used when referring to groups with <span style="text-decoration:underline;">more than two</span> members. <strong>All</strong> may refer to every member of a group of three or more, <strong>any</strong> may refer to one member of a group of three or more, and <strong>none</strong> may refer to zero members of a group of three or more.<br />
e.g. I have <span style="text-decoration:underline;">three</span> brothers. <strong>All</strong> of them are engineers.<br />
I had <span style="text-decoration:underline;">four</span> maps of the city, but I cannot find <strong>any</strong> of them.<br />
There are <span style="text-decoration:underline;">six</span> textbooks for the course. <strong>None</strong> of them is expensive.</p>
<p>See <a href="http://www.fortunecity.com/banners/interstitial.html?http://www.fortunecity.com/bally/durrus/153/gramex20.html#1">Exercise 1</a>.</p>
<p>The following rules for the use of <strong>either</strong> and <strong>neither</strong> should be noted.</p>
<p>If it is desired to change a clause <span style="text-decoration:underline;">beginning</span> with <strong>either</strong> so as to express a negative meaning, <strong>either</strong> must be changed to <strong>neither</strong>.<br />
e.g. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Affirmative Meaning</span>: <strong>Either</strong> of the alternatives is acceptable.<br />
<span style="text-decoration:underline;">Negative Meaning</span>: <strong>Neither</strong> of the alternatives is acceptable.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Affirmative Meaning</span>: <strong>Either</strong> <a href="http://www.fortunecity.com/bally/durrus/153/gramch20.html" target="undefined">hotel</a> will offer you its best room.<br />
<span style="text-decoration:underline;">Negative Meaning</span>: <strong>Neither</strong> hotel will offer you its best room.</p>
<p>A sentence which contains the word <strong>either</strong>, in which <strong>either</strong> does <span style="text-decoration:underline;">not</span> occur at the beginning of a clause, can be changed to express a negative meaning either by using the word <strong>not</strong>, or by changing <strong>either</strong> to neither.<br />
e.g. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Affirmative Meaning</span>: You may borrow <strong>either</strong> of the books.<br />
<span style="text-decoration:underline;">Negative Meaning</span>: You may <strong>not</strong> borrow <strong>either</strong> of the books.<br />
<span style="text-decoration:underline;">Negative Meaning</span>: You may borrow <strong>neither</strong> of the books.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Affirmative Meaning</span>: I might give the message to <strong>either</strong> boy.<br />
<span style="text-decoration:underline;">Negative Meaning</span>: I might <strong>not</strong> give the message to <strong>either</strong> boy.<br />
<span style="text-decoration:underline;">Negative Meaning</span>: I might give the message to <strong>neither</strong> boy.</p>
<p>It should be noted that in modern English, the determiner <strong>neither</strong> is most often used only at the beginning of a clause. Otherwise, the meaning of <strong>neither</strong> is usually expressed by the combination <strong>not &#8230; either</strong>.</p>
<p>In addition to being used as determiners, the words <strong>both</strong>, <strong>either</strong> and <strong>neither</strong> can also be used as conjunctions. Conjunctions will be discussed in <a href="http://www.fortunecity.com/banners/interstitial.html?http://www.fortunecity.com/bally/durrus/153/gramch28.html">Chapter 28</a>.</p>
<p align="center"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Determiners used as singular or plural pronouns</span></strong></p>
<p>In formal English, the pronouns <strong>another</strong>, <strong>each</strong>, <strong>either</strong>, <strong>neither</strong> and <strong>one</strong> always take <span style="text-decoration:underline;">singular</span> verbs.<br />
e.g. <strong>Each</strong> of the children <span style="text-decoration:underline;">wants</span> to win the prize.<br />
<strong>Either</strong> of the alternatives <span style="text-decoration:underline;">is</span> acceptable.<br />
<strong>Neither</strong> of the books <span style="text-decoration:underline;">has</span> good illustrations.<br />
Every <strong>one</strong> of the students <span style="text-decoration:underline;">was</span> ready on time.<br />
In these examples, the singular verbs <strong>wants</strong>, <strong>is</strong>, <strong>has</strong>, and <strong>was</strong> are used with the pronouns <strong>each</strong>, <strong>either</strong>, <strong>neither</strong> and <strong>one</strong>.</p>
<p>In informal English, plural verbs are sometimes used with pronouns such as <strong>each</strong>, <strong>either</strong> and <strong>neither</strong>.<br />
e.g. <strong>Neither</strong> of the books <span style="text-decoration:underline;">have</span> good illustrations.<br />
However, this use of the plural verb is considered to be grammatically incorrect in formal English.</p>
<p>It should also be noted that in formal English, when the words <strong>another</strong>, <strong>each</strong>, <strong>every</strong>, <strong>either</strong>, <strong>neither</strong> and <strong>one</strong> are used in combination with personal pronouns or possessive adjectives, singular forms are always used. As mentioned previously, in formal English, the adjective <strong>his</strong> or the phrase <strong>his or her</strong> may be used when referring to a group containing both male and female members.<br />
e.g. <strong>Each</strong> of the children waited impatiently for <strong>his</strong> turn.<br />
<strong>Every</strong> student raised <strong>his or her</strong> hand.<br />
<strong>Neither</strong> of the girls has finished <strong>her</strong> homework.<br />
<strong>Either</strong> of the hotels will offer you <strong>its</strong> best room.<br />
In these examples, <strong>each</strong>, <strong>every</strong>, <strong>neither</strong> and <strong>either</strong> are used in combination with the singular forms <strong>his</strong>, <strong>his or her</strong>, <strong>her</strong> and <strong>its</strong>.</p>
<p>In informal English, plural possessive adjectives are often used in this type of sentence.<br />
e.g. <strong>Neither</strong> of the girls finished <strong>their</strong> homework.<br />
However, this use of the plural possessive adjective is considered to be grammatically incorrect in formal English.</p>
<p>It should be noted that in both formal and informal English, <strong>none</strong> is used sometimes with singular, and sometimes with plural verbs.<br />
e.g. None of them <span style="text-decoration:underline;">is</span> here. <strong>or</strong><br />
None of them <span style="text-decoration:underline;">are</span> here.</p>
<p>In contrast, the pronouns <strong>both</strong>, <strong>few</strong>, <strong>many</strong> and <strong>several</strong> are always <span style="text-decoration:underline;">plural</span>. They take plural verbs, and are used in combination with plural personal pronouns and possessive adjectives. In addition, the pronoun <strong>all</strong> is always plural when used with countable nouns.<br />
e.g. <strong>Both</strong> of the boys <span style="text-decoration:underline;">have completed</span> <strong>their</strong> essays.<br />
<strong>Several</strong> of the musicians <span style="text-decoration:underline;">are giving</span> <strong>their</strong> first performances tonight.<br />
<strong>All</strong> of the girls <span style="text-decoration:underline;">have finished</span> <strong>their</strong> homework.</p>
<p>In these examples, the pronouns <strong>both</strong>, <strong>several</strong> and <strong>all</strong> take the plural verbs <strong>have completed</strong>, <strong>are giving</strong> and <strong>have finished</strong>, and are used in combination with the plural possessive adjective <strong>their</strong>.</p>
<h2><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Function</span></h2>
<p>In most <a title="Indo-European language" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_language">Indo-European languages</a>, determiners are either independent words or <a title="Clitic" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clitic">clitics</a> that precede the rest of the noun phrase. In other languages, determiners are <a title="Prefix (linguistics)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix_%28linguistics%29">prefixed</a> or <a title="Affix" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affix">suffixed</a> to the noun, or even change the noun&#8217;s form. For example, in <a title="Swedish language" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_language">Swedish</a> <em>bok</em> &#8220;book&#8221;, when definite, becomes <em>boken</em> &#8220;the book&#8221; (suffixed definite articles are common in <a title="Scandinavian languages" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavian_languages">Scandinavian languages</a>).</p>
<p>In some constructions, such as those which use the names of school subjects (&#8220;Physics uses mathematics&#8221;), a determiner is not used. This condition is called the &#8220;zero determiner&#8221; instance.</p>
<p><a title="X-bar theory" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-bar_theory">X-bar theory</a> contends that every noun has a corresponding determiner. In a case where a noun does not have a pronounced determiner, <a title="X-bar theory" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-bar_theory">X-bar theory</a> hypothesizes the presence of a <a title="Zero (linguistics)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_%28linguistics%29">zero article</a>.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration:underline;">English determiners</span></h3>
<p>The determiner function is usually performed by the <strong>determiner class</strong> of words, but can also be filled by words from other entities:</p>
<ol>
<li>Basic determiners are words      from the determiner class (e.g. <em>the</em> girl, <em>those</em> pencils) or <a title="Determiner phrase" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determiner_phrase">determiner phrases</a> (e.g. <em>almost all</em> people, <em>more than two</em> problems).</li>
<li>Subject determiners are      possessive noun phrases (e.g. <em>his</em> daughter, <em>the boy&#8217;s</em> friend).</li>
<li>Minor determiners are plain      NPs (e.g. <em>what colour</em> carpet, <em>this size</em> shoes) and      prepositional phrases (<em>under twenty</em> meters, <em>up to twelve</em> people).</li>
</ol>
<h2><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Determiner Class</span></h2>
<p>A determiner establishes the <em>reference</em> of a noun or noun phrase, including quantity, rather than its <em>attributes</em> as expressed by <a title="Adjective" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjective">adjectives</a>. Despite this tendency, determiners have a variety of functions including, in <a title="English language" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language">English</a>, <a title="Modifier" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modifier">modifiers</a> in adjective phrases and determiner phrases, and even markers of <a title="Coordination" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordination">coordination</a>.</p>
<p>This word class, or <a title="Part of speech" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Part_of_speech">part of speech</a>, exists in many languages, including English, though most English dictionaries still classify determiners under other parts of speech. Determiners usually include <a title="Article (grammar)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_%28grammar%29">articles</a>, and may include items like <a title="Demonstrative" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demonstrative">demonstratives</a>, <a title="Possessive determiner" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Possessive_determiner">possessive determiners</a>, <a title="Quantifier" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantifier">quantifiers</a>, and <a title="Cardinal number" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_number">cardinal numbers</a>, depending on the language.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration:underline;">English determiners</span></h3>
<p>Determiners, in English, form a closed class of words that number (exclusive of cardinal numerals) about 50 and include<sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determiner_%28class%29#cite_note-0">[1]</a></sup>:</p>

</ul>
<p>The two categories into which every one of these determiners can be classified are those of the <a title="Definite determiners (page does not exist)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Definite_determiners&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1">definite determiners</a>, which limit their reference back to a specific already mentioned entity, and the <a title="Indefinite determiners (page does not exist)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indefinite_determiners&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1">indefinite determiners</a>, which broaden their referent to one which has not been previously specified, or has just been newly introduced into discourse.</p>
<p>While many words belong to this <a title="Lexical category" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexical_category">lexical category</a> exclusively, others belong to a number of categories, for example, the <a title="Pronoun" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronoun">pronoun</a> <em>what</em> in <em>What is good</em> as opposed to the determiner <em>what</em> in <em>what one is good</em>. While numerals exist as nouns, it is debated whether numerals are determiners or not<sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determiner_%28class%29#cite_note-1">[2]</a></sup>. For instance, the English numerals for 100 or larger need a determiner, such as &#8220;<strong>a</strong> hundred men.&#8221; Similarly, while pronouns like <a title="wikt:my" href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/my">my</a>, <a title="wikt:your" href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/your">your</a>, etc. function as determiners in a noun phrase, many grammars do not make the distinction between class and function and so lump these in with determiners.</p>
<h4><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Differences from adjectives</span></h4>
<p>Traditional English grammar does not include determiners and calls most determiners <a title="Adjectives" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjectives">adjectives</a>. There are, however, a number of key differences between determiners and adjectives.</p>
<ol>
<li>In English, articles,      demonstratives, and possessive determiners cannot co-occur in the same      phrase, while any number of adjectives are typically allowed.
<ol>
<li>A <strong>big</strong>, <strong>green</strong>,       <strong>expensive English</strong> book</li>
<li>* <strong>The his</strong> book</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Most determiners cannot occur      alone in <a title="Predicative (adjectival or nominal)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predicative_%28adjectival_or_nominal%29">predicative</a> complement      position; most adjectives can.
<ol>
<li>He is <strong>happy</strong>.</li>
<li>* He is <strong>the</strong>.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Most determiners are not      gradable, while adjectives typically are.
<ol>
<li>happy, happier,       happiest</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Some determiners have      corresponding pronouns, while adjectives don&#8217;t.
<ol>
<li><strong>Each</strong> likes       something different.</li>
<li>* <strong>Big</strong> likes       something different.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Adjectives can modify      singular or plural nouns, while some determiners can only modify one or      the other.
<ol>
<li>a <strong>big</strong> person / <strong>big</strong> people</li>
<li><strong>many</strong> people / *       <strong>many</strong> person</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Adjectives are never      obligatory, while determiners often are.</li>
</ol>
<h4><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Differences from pronouns</span></h4>
<p>Determiners such as <em>this</em>, <em>all</em>, and <em>some</em> can often occur without a noun. In traditional grammar, these are called <a title="Pronoun" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronoun">pronouns</a>. There are, however, a number of key differences between such determiners and pronouns.</p>
<ol>
<li>Pronouns may occur in <a title="Tag question" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_question">tag      questions</a>. Determiners cannot.
<ol>
<li>This is delicious,       isn&#8217;t <strong>it</strong>?</li>
<li>*This is delicious,       isn&#8217;t <strong>this</strong>?</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>In phrasal verbs, pronouns      must appear between the verb and particle. Determiners may occur after the      particle.
<ol>
<li>pick <strong>it</strong> up</li>
<li>*pick up <strong>it</strong></li>
<li>pick this up</li>
<li>pick up this</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Pronouns all have distinct      genitive forms. Determiners do not.
<ol>
<li>This is       mine/yours/theirs.</li>
<li>*This is all&#8217;s.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<h3><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Other realisations</span></h3>
<p>In English, and in many other <a title="Indo-European language" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_language">Indo-European languages</a>, determiners are either independent words or <a title="Clitic" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clitic">clitics</a> that precede the rest of the noun phrase. Not all languages, however, have a lexically distinct class of determiners. Determiner functions are sometimes realized morphologically as <a title="Affix" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affix">affixes</a> on the noun, or by changing the noun&#8217;s form. For example, <a title="Swedish language" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_language">Swedish</a> <em>bok</em> (&#8220;book&#8221;), when definite, becomes <em>bok<strong>en</strong></em> (&#8220;the book&#8221;). Definite article suffixes are also found in the other <a title="North Germanic languages" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Germanic_languages">North Germanic languages</a>, in <a title="Romanian language" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_language">Romanian</a>, and in <a title="Bulgarian language" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgarian_language">Bulgarian</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>ARTICLES</h2>
<p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Definition.</span></em></strong></p>
<p>An <strong>article</strong> is a limiting word, not descriptive, which cannot be used alone, but always joins to a substantive word to denote a particular thing, or a group or class of things, or any individual of a group or class.</p>
<p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Kinds.</span></em></strong></p>
<p>Articles are either <strong>definite</strong> or <strong>indefinite</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>The</strong> is the definite article, since it points out a particular individual, or group, or class.</p>
<p><strong>An</strong> or <strong>a</strong> is the indefinite article, because it refers to any one of a group or class of things.</p>
<p><strong>An</strong> and <strong>a</strong> are different forms of the same word, the older <em>ān</em>.</p>
<p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Their origin.</span></em></strong></p>
<p>The article <strong>the</strong> comes from an old demonstrative adjective (<em>sē</em>, <em>sēo</em>, <em>ðat</em>, later <em>thē</em>, <em>thēo</em>, <em>that</em>) which was also an article in Old English. In Middle English <em>the</em> became an article, and <em>that</em> remained a demonstrative adjective.</p>
<p><strong>An</strong> or <strong>a</strong> came from the old numeral <em>ān</em>, meaning <em>one</em>.</p>
<p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Two relics.</span></em></strong></p>
<p>Our expressions <em>the one</em>, <em>the other</em>, were formerly <em>that one</em>, <em>that other</em>; the latter is still preserved in the expression, in vulgar English, <em>the tother</em>. Not only this is kept in the Scotch dialect, but the former is used, these occurring as <em>the tane, the tother</em>, or <em>the tane, the tither</em>; for example,—</p>
<p>We ca&#8217; her sometimes <em>the tane</em>, sometimes <em>the tother</em>.—Scott.</p>
<p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">An before vowel sounds, a before consonant sounds.</span></em></strong></p>
<p>Ordinarily <em>an</em> is used before vowel sounds, and <em>a</em> before consonant sounds. Remember that a <em>vowel sound</em> does not necessarily mean beginning with a vowel, nor does <em>consonant sound</em> mean beginning with a consonant, because English spelling does not coincide closely with the sound of words. Examples: &#8220;<em>a</em> house,&#8221; &#8220;<em>an</em> orange,&#8221; &#8220;<em>a</em> European,&#8221; &#8220;<em>an</em> honor,&#8221; &#8220;<em>a</em> yelling crowd.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">An with consonant sounds.</span></em></strong></p>
<p>Many writers use <em>an</em> before <em>h</em>, even when not silent, when the word is not accented on the first syllable.</p>
<p><em>An</em> historian, such as we have been attempting to describe, would indeed be an intellectual prodigy.—Macaulay.</p>
<p>The Persians were <em>an</em> heroic people like the Greeks.—Brewer.</p>
<p>He [Rip] evinced <em>an</em> hereditary disposition to attend to anything else but his business.—Irving.</p>
<p><em>An</em> habitual submission of the understanding to mere events and images.—Coleridge.</p>
<p><em>An</em> hereditary tenure of these offices.—Thomas Jefferson.</p>
<p>An <strong>article</strong> is a little word that comes before a <a title="Noun" href="http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noun">noun</a>. There are two kinds of articles: <strong>definite articles</strong> and <strong>indefinite articles</strong>.</p>
<p>In English there is just one definite article: &#8220;the&#8221;. There are two indefinite articles: &#8220;a&#8221; and &#8220;an&#8221;. The word &#8220;an&#8221; is used before a word starting with a vowel sound: we say &#8220;a horse&#8221;, &#8220;a child&#8221;, &#8220;a European&#8221; (Euro has a &#8220;Y&#8221; sound), &#8220;a university&#8221;, but &#8220;an orange&#8221;, &#8220;an elephant&#8221;.</p>
<p>Some languages have more than one word for &#8220;the&#8221;. This is because each noun is either masculine or feminine or, in some languages it can be masculine, feminine or neuter. For example: in French &#8220;le&#8221; is used for masculine nouns (&#8220;le jardin&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;the garden&#8221;) and &#8220;la&#8221; for feminine nouns (&#8220;la table&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;the table&#8221;). &#8220;The&#8221; becomes &#8220;les&#8221; in front of plural nouns. The indefinite articles in French are &#8220;un&#8221; (masculine) and &#8220;une&#8221; (feminine). German and Dutch have masculine, feminine and neuter nouns, but in the case of Dutch the word for &#8220;the&#8221; is the same for masculine and feminine (&#8220;de&#8221;) so you do not need to know which it is.</p>
<p>Some languages (for example: <a title="Russian language" href="http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_language">Russian</a> and <a title="Japanese language" href="http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_language">Japanese</a>) do not have articles. When speakers of these languages are learning English, it is often difficult to explain to them what an article is. English speakers use them automatically.</p>
<p>In general: &#8220;the&#8221; in English is used for something you have already been talking about. The word &#8220;a&#8221; is used when introducing a new idea:</p>
<p>&#8220;The tired woman was looking for her cat. Suddenly she saw <em>the</em> cat up <em>a</em> tree&#8221;. (We are already talking about the cat. The tree is a new idea).</p>
<p>&#8220;The tired woman was walking along when she suddenly saw <em>a</em> cat up <em>a</em> tree&#8221;. (She had not been thinking about cats until then).</p>
<p>Sometimes we do not need an article, for example when talking about something in general:</p>
<p>&#8220;The dogs do not bite&#8221; (meaning: Mr Smith&#8217;s dogs). &#8220;Barking dogs do not bite&#8221; (barking dogs in general).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><strong>The use of Another, Other, Others and Else</strong></p>
<p>The words <strong>another</strong>, <strong>other</strong>, <strong>others</strong> and <strong>else</strong> are used to indicate one or more additional or different things.</p>
<p><strong>Another</strong> is formed from a combination of the words <strong>an</strong> and <strong>other</strong>, and has a meaning similar to <strong>one other</strong>. When used as an adjective, <strong>another</strong> can precede only a singular countable noun. When used as a pronoun, <strong>another</strong> takes a singular verb.<br />
e.g. Please bring me <strong>another</strong> knife.<br />
<strong>Another</strong> of her uncles <span style="text-decoration:underline;">lives</span> in Montreal.<br />
In the first example, <strong>another</strong> modifies the singular noun <strong>knife</strong>. In the second example, the pronoun <strong>another</strong> is the subject of the singular verb <strong>lives</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Other</strong> can be used with singular countable, plural countable or uncountable nouns.<br />
e.g. The <strong>other</strong> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">door</span> is open.<br />
The <strong>other</strong> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">streets</span> are paved.<br />
Do you have any <strong>other</strong> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">luggage</span>?<br />
In these examples, <strong>other</strong> modifies the singular countable noun <strong>door</strong>, the plural countable noun <strong>streets</strong>, and the uncountable noun <strong>luggage</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Another</strong> usually <span style="text-decoration:underline;">cannot</span> be immediately preceded by a determiner. In contrast, when used before a singular countable noun, <strong>other</strong> usually <span style="text-decoration:underline;">must</span> be preceded by a determiner.<br />
e.g. Please pass me <span style="text-decoration:underline;">the</span> <strong>other</strong> cup.<br />
I do not know <span style="text-decoration:underline;">any</span> <strong>other</strong> way to do it.<br />
There must be <span style="text-decoration:underline;">some</span> <strong>other</strong> explanation.<br />
In these examples, <strong>other</strong> is used with the singular countable nouns <strong>cup</strong>, <strong>way</strong> and <strong>explanation</strong>, and is preceded by the determiners <strong>the</strong>, <strong>any</strong> and <strong>some</strong>.</p>
<p>When <strong>other</strong> modifies a singular countable noun, the noun is sometimes omitted, particularly in the expression <strong>one &#8230; the other</strong>.<br />
e.g. I have two pens. <strong>One</strong> is green and the <strong>other</strong> is blue.<br />
<strong>One</strong> of my parents is a teacher; the <strong>other</strong> is a doctor.</p>
<p>In these examples, the nouns following the word <strong>other</strong> are understood, rather than expressed. In the following sentences, the nouns which are understood are enclosed in square brackets.<br />
e.g. I have two pens. <strong>One</strong> is green and the <strong>other</strong> [pen] is blue.<br />
<strong>One</strong> of my parents is a teacher; the <strong>other</strong> [parent] is a doctor.</p>
<p><strong>Others</strong> is a pronoun. <strong>Others</strong> can be used to take the place of the word <strong>other</strong>, followed by a plural countable noun.<br />
e.g. Those trees are hemlocks; the <strong>others</strong> are pines.<br />
Ten people belong to the group, and five <strong>others</strong> are planning to join.<br />
In the first example, <strong>others</strong> takes the place of the words <strong>other trees</strong>. In the second example, <strong>others</strong> takes the place of the words <strong>other people</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Others</strong> is often used in the expression <strong>some &#8230; others</strong>.<br />
e.g. <strong>Some</strong> books are easy to read, but <strong>others</strong> are quite difficult.<br />
<strong>Some</strong> people like classical music, while <strong>others</strong> prefer jazz.</p>
<p>The word <strong>else</strong> has a meaning similar to <strong>other</strong>. However, rather than being used as an adjective preceding a noun, <strong>else</strong> usually follows interrogative pronouns such as <strong>who</strong> and <strong>what</strong>, and indefinite pronouns such as <strong>anyone</strong> and <strong>someone</strong>.<br />
e.g. Who <strong>else</strong> was at the meeting?<br />
What <strong>else</strong> is on the agenda?<br />
Has anyone <strong>else</strong> solved the problem?<br />
Someone <strong>else</strong> may be able to help you.</p>
