In this article Arne Groth, an expert on Dowsing and Geomancy, describes the results of some of his research that has led to the so-called 'frequency ladder'.

The phenomena of dowsing has amazed and captured man both in the past and today. Many people have wanted to displace these phenomena to the world of fantasy. But this is not done so easily in our time as we find regularities and systems showing how the registered earth radiation appears and affects us. This article also briefly repeat some different types of earth radiation and associated phenomena that can be detected by the dowsing rod.

The town, first mentioned in 1240, is called an "oppidum" in 1242, and a "castrum" in 1255. In 1273 it was bought by Rudolph of Habsburg from Anna, the heiress of Kyburg and wife of Eberhard, head of the cadet line of Habsburg, and in 1278 part of its territory, the valley of Aegeri, was pledged by Rudolph as security for a portion of the marriage gift he promised to Joanna, daughter of Edward I of England, who was betrothed to his son Hartmann, but whose death in 1281 prevented the marriage from taking place. The town of Zug was governed by ...

Geomancy (from Old French geomancie <Late Latin geōmantia <Late Greek geōmanteia< geo, "earth" + manteia, "divination") from the eponymous ilm al-raml ("the science of sand"), is a method of divination that interprets markings on the ground, or how handfuls of dirt land when you toss them. The Arabic tradition consists of sketching sixteen random lines of dots in sand. In Africa one traditional form of geomancy consists of throwing handfuls of dirt in the air and observing ho ...

Arthurian legend or the Matter of Britain is a name given collectively to the legends that concern the Celtic and legendary history of the British Isles, especially those centering around King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table.

Candomblé is an Afro-American religion practiced chiefly in Brazil but also in adjacent countries. The religion came from Africa to Brazil, carried by African priests and adherents who were brought as slaves between 1549 and 1888. The name Batuque is also used, especially before the 19th century when Candomblé became more common. Both words are believed to derive from a Bantu-family language. Although originally confined to the slave population, banned by the Catholic church, and even criminalized by some govern ...

Anti-Polonism (alternatively spelled antipolonism; also, Polonophobia) is a term used to collectively describe a broad spectrum of hostile sentiments toward Poles. While the term is used in Polish (antypolonizm), its use in English has been limited. The term was used frequently in 19th century Poland to describe the anti-Polish policies of German-Prussian statesman Otto von Bismarck[citation needed]. The English derivation does not appear in major English dictionaries, and according to Lex ...

A race is a population of humans distinguished from other populations. The most widely used racial categories are based on visible traits (especially skin color and facial features), genes, and self-identification. Conceptions of race, as well as specific racial groupings, vary by culture and time and are often controversial due to their impact on social identity and hence identity politics. Since the 1940s, evolutionary scientists have rejected the view of race according to which a number of finite lists of essential ch ...

Breastfeeding is the process of a woman feeding an infant or young child with milk produced from her breasts, usually directly from the nipples. Babies have a sucking urge that usually enables them to take in the milk, provided there is a good latch, a detached phrenulum, and a milk supply. Breast milk has been shown to be best for feeding a child if the mother does not have any transmissible infections. Nevertheless, some mothers do not breastfeed their children, either for personal or medical reasons. Some diseases, such as H ...

The Condon Committee was the informal name of the University of Colorado UFO Project, a study of unidentified flying objects, undertaken at the University of Colorado and directed by physicist Edward Condon from 1966 to 1968. The Condon Committee was instigated at the behest of the United States Air Force, which had studied UFOs since the 1940's. After examining many hundreds of UFO files from the Air Force’s Project Blue Book and from civilian UFO groups NICAP and APRO, the Committee selected 56 to analyze in detail f ...

One line of reasoning about the sexual attraction of Asian women has been developed by the German anthropologists, led by Rainer Knußmann (1996) at the University of Hamburg, building on the earlier manual of Rudolf Martin and Karl Saller (1956, rev. ed., 1st ed. 1914). (This manual, the fourth edition of which Knußmann has edited, is the oldest classical anthropological manual that is still used.) Knußmann categorizes 36 distinct human races and some subraces according to physical traits, and concludes that the Paleomongolid (southern Mo ...

One key aspect of pipeline design is balancing pipeline stages. Using the assembly line example, we could have greater time savings if both the engine and wheels took only 15 minutes. Although the system latency would still be 35 minutes, we would be able to output a new car every 15 minutes. Another design consideration is the provision of adequate buffering between the pipeline stages — especially when the processing times are irregular, or when ...

As the assembly line example shows, pipelining doesn't decrease the time for a single datum to be processed; it only increases the throughput of the system when processing a stream of data. A pipelined system typically requires more resources (circuit elements, processing units, computer memory, etc.) than one that executes one batch at a time, because its stages cannot reuse the resources of a previous stage. Moreover, pipelining may ...
