... vice-versa. What can this mean? The word translated here as thousands is elef; this has two meanings: a thousand, ' and a group' or family'. Hence the statement in words of 32 elef 2 hundred people' might mean 32 thousand 2 hundred, or 32 families 2 hundred people. In the latter sense the column of thousands would be the number of tents in a tribe and the column of hundreds the number of people. ' Flinders Petrie found that the number of persons per tent was plausible on this basis - ranging from 5 to 17. We might add to his argument the fact that the three largest averages - 14, 16 and 17 ...

243. Why Alternative Science? [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2002:2 (Dec 2002) Home | Issue Contents Why Alternative Science?How can science be described as alternative? Surely science is science. Anything else is just pseudo-science isn't it? Let me start this new column with one recent example of alternative science and just how it is alternative'. Over the past decade, pressure has mounted in Holland for the Dutch National Health Service to offer complementary or holistic medical therapies, and a vocal lobby has campaigned for the introduction of homeopathic remedies on the country's NHS. Dutch skeptics were equally vocal in opposing the spending of public money on treatment they regard as quackery. To settle the question, ...
244. Carl Sagan: A Life by Keay Davidson [Journals] [Aeon]
... . I myself had met Sagan on a handful of what might be considered inconsequential moments where no words of wisdom were exchanged- all of these encounters being at NASA Ames Research Center at Moffett Field in nearby Mountain View, just south of San Francisco. When we were first introduced, he seemed to know of me, perhaps through my column in R&D Magazine, but I, in turn, perhaps wouldn't have given him much more than a passing thought if it weren't for the notoriety which had preceded his appearance during one of the Jupiter fly-by festivities at Ames. However, in stark contrast to my own superficial impressions, Davidson apparently had laboriously and devotedly followed his ...
245. The "Herculean Labor" Of Cecilia Gaposchkin. File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... that time and reproduced on pages 247-248 (1 )-with the possibility that my ideas might win out in the end. His repeated references to my theory in this abstract almost gave the impression that this theory was one of the main subjects of his paper, yet in its printed form half a year later in the space of sixteen columns he refers to it only in these words: "Velikovsky's theories are admittedly unorthodox, but their utter rejection is not based on their unorthodoxy, but on the palpable fact that they are unsupported by a body of reliable data such as is demanded of every new conceptual scheme." Reference is made in a footnote to the paper by ...
246. Aftermath to Exposure [Books] [de Grazia books]
... mess' retold by the Behavioral Scientist. He was particularly critical of the role played by Harlow Shapley. Boring disclosed at Peabody that in stormy meetings of the publications committee there had been heated discussion whether or not to print Velikovsky's paper. Further, he let it be known that he was to be put in charge of a new Letters column in the Proceedings. Such a column would provide what Boring described as an appropriate vehicle' for the controversial paper, which would be the first item to appear in the column. Handling the matter in this way would permit publication without implying approval by the Society. As it turned out, however, even this face-saving compromise failed. ...
247. Part III: The Legends [Ragnarok] [Books]
... accuracy, and respect, the fairy stories, myths, and legends of the people ;as repeated by old peasant-women, " the knitters in the sun," or by " gray-haired warriors, famous for rights. ' ' And, when they came to put these narratives in due form, and, as it were, in parallel columns, it became apparent that they threw great floods of light upon the history of the world, and especially upon the question of the unity of the race. They proved that all the nations were repeating the same stories, in some cases in almost identical words, just as their ancestors had heard them, in some most ancient land ...
248. The Secret of Baalbek (Concluded) [Journals] [Kronos]
... "Notices of Jerusalem; and Excursion to Hebron and Sebeh or Masada; and Journey from Jerusalem northwards to Beirut, etc." in Bibliotheca Sacra (1843), p. 82; quoted by Ritter, Die Erdkunde, XVII, p. 232. THE TEMPLES OF THE ACROPOLIS The buildings on the flat plateau of the Acropolis have columns with capitals of Corinthian style. The time of the origin of these temples is disputed. An author of the last century(1 ) brought forth his arguments against a late date for the temples atop the acropolis; he would not agree to ascribe them to the Roman period, or Greek period; he dated them as originating in ...

... wheel led in broad cycles to the metamorphic mill. [other examples provided] Further examples can easily be collected from the respective dictionaries. Dave Talbott adds: This is a good summary of the reasoning process, using one of the equations we have mentioned frequently. I would add that there are probably more symbolic identities attached to the cosmic column than Dr. van der Slujis is aware (e .g ., path of souls, bridge, phallus, erect serpent, wind of the below, boar, tusk, single leg, upraised arm, stem of the plant of life, trunk of the tree of life.) Also, the good doctor's point below may ...
