Sulfur, Sulphur
Sulfur, Sulphur In European medieval alchemy, a cosmic element of which the mineral sulfur was regarded as a manifestation or correspondence. In classical Latin, also used for lightning, and the Greek for sulfur is theion (divine); it was regarded as having a purifying, and protective power. The alchemical division of nature and man into spirit, body, and soul shows sulfur as denoting spirit and the element fire. Sulfur and mercury are used as a means to physical longevity (IU 2:220-1). It is used as a purificatory agent in modern medicine, and popular usage has sanctioned its efficacy in the insoluble form of brimstone.

An order cheque – the most common form in the US – is payable only to the named payee or his or her indorsee, as it usually contains the language "Pay to the order of (name)."

| | | | | -logy - Usage: Encyclopedia II - Psalms - Sections of the book In Jewish usage, the Psalter is divided, after the analogy of the Pentateuch, into five books, each closing with a doxology or benediction (For the Orthodox Christian division into twenty kathismata, see Eastern Orthodox usage, below):
The first book comprises the first 41 Psalms. All of these are ascribed to David except Psalms 1, 2, 10, and 33, which, though untitled in the Hebrew, were also traditionally ascribed to David. While Davidic authorship cannot be confirmed, this probably is the oldest section of the P ...

Thealogy - First? usages.
In "The Druid Chronicles (Evolved)," privately published in 1976, Isaac Bonewits used "thealogian" to refer to a Wiccan author (Aidan Kelly, aka "C. Taliesin Edwards," who may have given him the term or vice versa) and "theilogy" (defined as "the study of more than one God"). Bonewits also used "theilogy" (and possibly "thealogy," since he thinks he coined them at the same time) in the pages of the widely-distributed "Gnostic ...

| | | | | -logy - Usage: Encyclopedia II - Biophoton - Metaphysics The scientific usage of the term biophoton has been overtaken by several pseudoscientific groups, new-age groups, etc. Some claim that this so-called biophotonism has its roots in German branches of the "New Age" movement of the 1970s. This biophoton movement has resulted in a large number of business companies in the health care sector, which provide "highly advanced" medicine, such as information-loaded water. This exploits and perhaps even misuses what is understood and conjectured about biophotons. Because of this, it has at times been difficult to parse the real scie ...

| | | | | -logy - Usage: Encyclopedia II - Skygazing - Observations with a refracting telescope A refracting telescope is an instrument that is constituted of one or several lenses and that focuses the luminous rays toward one point called focus. The role of the eyepiece situated after the focus is to shape the picture so that it is visible for the eyes as well as to enlarge this one. A good refracting telescope is an instrument that one retains all his or her life, even after the acquisition of a bigger telescope.
The refracting telescope, by its reduced opening (therefore little luminous), is especially adapted to the observat ...

| | | | | -logy - Usage: Encyclopedia II - Harvard College - History The name Harvard College dates to 1638. In that year, the two-year-old school, which had yet to graduate its first students, was named in honor of the recently deceased John Harvard, a minister from nearby Charlestown, who in his will had bequeathed to it his library and a sum of money. In the understanding of its members at the time, the name "Harvard College" probably referred to the first (as they foresaw it) of a number of colleges which would someday make up a university along the lines of Oxford or Cambridge. The American usage ...

The word is cognate with German Kaiser, Gothic káisar, Dutch keizer, Danish kejser, Swedish kejsare, and Norwegian keiser.

| | | | | -logy - Usage: Encyclopedia II - Roman numerals - IIII or IV? The notation of Roman numerals has varied through the centuries. Originally, it was common to use IIII to represent "four", because IV represented the god Jove (and later YHWH). The subtractive notation (which uses IV instead of IIII) has become universally used only in modern times. For example, Forme of Cury, a manuscript from 1390, uses IX for "nine", but IIII for "four". Another document in the same manuscript, from 1381, uses IV and IX. A third document in the same manuscript uses both IIII and IV, and IX. Constructions such as IIX for ...

| | | | | -logy - Usage: Encyclopedia II - Internet troll - Troll culture The long history of trolling, and the strong support for anonymous and pseudonymous discourse on the Internet, suggests that the story of the "anonymous troll" is only beginning. Whether there can be a "culture" consisting of people who do not know each other, except through a common experience of being bounced from Internet forums, is questionable, but some do claim it is possible and already occurring.
There is strong evidence for this in the existence of forums that claim to exist specifically to support trolls and trolling, to exchange troll tips, and to identify targets th ...

| | | | | | | -logy - Usage: Encyclopedia II - Cochineal - Dye A deep crimson dye is extracted from the female cochineal insects. Cochineal is used to produce scarlet, orange and other red tints too. The colouring comes from carminic (kermesic) acid. Cochineal extract's natural carminic-acid content is usually 19–22% [4]. The insects are killed by immersion in hot water (after which they are dried) or by exposure to sunlight, steam, or the heat of an oven. Each method produces a different colour ...
