The pastoral type falls into two sub-types, in which the species is spared and sometimes receives special honour at intervals in the person of an individual. (See Cattle, Buffalo, below.)< ...

A connection between Jesus and Horus-Osiris is frequently raised by critics of the historicity of Jesus. Superficially, the death and resurrection of Horus-Osiris, and Horus' nature as both the son of Osiris and Osiris himself, appear to be a template for the idea that this occurred in Jesus. However, there is much more to both deities than this, and so such basic comparisons are not terribly persuasive to most academics. Deeper similarities between Horus and Jesus, which are not at all obvious to those who are not completely familiar ...

It would appear that at an even earlier period certain Spanish Jews had a ...

Scale-free networks tend to contain centrally located, highly connected "hubs", which dramatically influences the way a network operates. For example, random node failures have very little effect on a scale-free network's connectivity or effectiveness, however deliberate attacks on such a network's hubs can dismantle a network with alarming ease. Thus, the realization that certain networks are scale-free is important to security. These networks also exhibit the Small world phenomenon, in which two average nodes are separated by a very small number of connections. Als ...
