The name " quine " was coined by Douglas Hofstadter, in his popular science book Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, in the honor of philosopher Willard Van Orman Quine ( 1908 – 2000 ), who made an extensive study of indirect self-reference, and in particular for the following paradox-producing expression, known as Quine's paradox:

In early 1842 — as a response to a personal attack upon himself and his work that had been made in a sermon delivered by a Manchester cleric, M ‘ Neile, and had been published a few days later in an unaltered form, despite Braid's attempts to rectify the misunderstandings he felt it contained — Braid privately published the contents of an ( unanswered ) letter that he had written to the cleric as a twelve page booklet entitled Satanic Agency and Mesmerism Reviewed ( Braid, 1842 ).

Alan Fraser was relieved of his duties for failing to meet the ambitions of the United board just hours after the final League game of the season, which also proved to be long-serving Dessie Loughery ’ s last game as he made a controversial move to Coleraine after 11 years at the Braid.

It proved a season of rebuilding in the second-tier of Irish League football as the erratic Shiels made a number of ' big-name ' signings which all flopped before the eyes of the supporters ; former Northern Ireland goalkeeper Tommy Wright, former Leeds United defender Paul Beesley and Liberian striker Leon Browne all failed miserably to make an impact at the Braid.

She may have been conceived as Alfie's batty granny but Hilda Braid injected a steely and unnerving sweetness into the role that made you wonder if Nana wore her battiness as a protective flak jacket.

Although he rejected the transcendental / metaphysical interpretation given to these phenomena outright, Braid accepted that these accounts of Oriental practices supported his view that the effects of hypnotism could be produced in solitude, without the presence of any other person ( as he had already proved to his own satisfaction with the experiments he had conducted in November 1841 ); and he saw correlations between many of the " metaphysical " Oriental practices and his own " rational " neuro-hypnotism, and totally rejected all of the fluid theories and magnetic practices of the mesmerists.

A bitter war of words developed between Braid and the leading exponents of Mesmerism.

The Millennium Line opened on January 2, 2002, with trains initially operating between Waterfront Station on the Expo Line and Braid Station in eastern New Westminster-this was referred to as Phase I.

After the opening of Millennium Line in 2002, the station became a major transfer point between the two SkyTrain lines and the regional bus connections moved north along Millennium Line to Braid and Lougheed Town Centre Stations.

In 1843 James Braid, a Scottish physician proposed the term hypnosis for a technique derived from magnetism but more limited in its claimed effects, and also different in its conception.

In his later works, however, Braid placed increasing emphasis upon the use of a variety of different verbal and non-verbal forms of suggestion, including the use of " waking suggestion " and self-hypnosis.

When Braid introduced the concept of hypnotism, he equivocated over the nature of the " state ", sometimes describing it as a specific sleep-like neurological state comparable to animal hibernation or yogic meditation, while at other times he emphasised that hypnotism encompasses a number of different stages or states that are

The golfing landscape in those early days was very different to the modern game with pros, even the very best like Taylor, Vardon and Braid, earning a living from club duties, club and ball-making, green-keeping, teaching here and there and of course competing in tournaments.

Each station along the Millennium Line features a unique design, and Braid is no different.

His stage demonstrations of animal magnetism in Manchester influenced surgeon James Braid to pursue the study of what came to be known as hypnotism ( note that Braid's hypnotism was significantly different from Lafontaine's mesmerism ).

The words hypnosis and hypnotism both derive from the term neuro-hypnotism ( nervous sleep ) coined by the Scottish surgeon James Braid around 1841.

The earliest definition of hypnosis was given by Braid, who coined the term " hypnotism " as an abbreviation for " neuro-hypnotism ", or nervous sleep, which he opposed to normal sleep, and defined as: " a peculiar condition of the nervous system, induced by a fixed and abstracted attention of the mental and visual eye, on one object, not of an exciting nature.

Braid can be taken to imply, in later writings, that hypnosis is largely a state of heightened suggestibility induced by expectation and focused attention.

Whilst Braid differed in offering an explanation of hypnotic effects that did not rely on supernatual forces, he credited the methods used in hypnosis to the practice of Mesmerism.

Scottish surgeon James Braid, who coined the term " hypnotism ", claimed that focused attention was essential for creating hypnotic trances ; indeed, his thesis was that hypnosis was in essence a state of extreme focus.

Braid adopted the term " hypnotism " as an abbreviation for " neuro-hypnotism " or nervous sleep ( that is, sleep of the nerves ), in his lectures of 1841-2, and it is from his influential work that others derived the term " hypnosis " in the 1880s.

In 1997 Braid ’ s part in developing hypnosis for therapeutic purposes was recognized and commemorated by the creation of the James Braid Society, a discussion group for those “ involved or concerned in the ethical uses of hypnosis .” The society meets once a month in central London, usually for a presentation on some aspect of hypnotherapy.

However, Braid continually revised his theory and practice and carried out many, albeit primitive, experiments on hypnosis.

In his later works, Braid reserved the term " hypnotism " for cases in which subjects entered a state of amnesia resembling sleep.

* 1841 – James Braid first sees a demonstration of animal magnetism, which leads to his study of the subject he eventually calls hypnotism.

This can cross-over with other action genres: a platform game which requires a novel mechanic to complete levels might be a " puzzle platformer ", such as manipulating time in Braid.

* November 13 – Scottish surgeon James Braid first sees a demonstration of animal magnetism by Charles Lafontaine in Manchester, which leads to his study of the phenomenon that he ( Braid ) eventually calls hypnotism.

For instance, in Chinese, the subtitle is not a translation of an Eternal Golden Braid, but a seemingly unrelated phrase Jí Yì Bì ( 集异璧, literally " collection of exotic jades "), which is homophonic to GEB in Chinese.

Despite being initially accepted for presentation, the paper was controversially rejected at the last moment ; but Braid arranged for a series of Conversaziones at which he presented its contents.

" Braid later changed his sleep-based physiological theory to a psychological one which emphasized mental concentration on a single idea, giving this the name of monoideism in 1847 ".

Braid thought of hypnotism as producing a " nervous sleep " which differed from ordinary sleep.

Both original courses were designed by James Braid, along with Littlehill Golf Course in Auchinairn, which opened in 1923.

Braid disbanded in 1999 leaving Nanna, Bell, and Atkinson to form Hey Mercedes with Mark Dawursk while Broach would dedicate more time to The Firebird Band which was hitherto a side project.

The 1930 – 31 campaign was much the same as the previous season from the men from the Braid ( the river on which Ballymena stands ) as they scored goals freely but could only manage another fifth place finish for their efforts and remarkably a third consecutive Irish Cup final appearance.

In addition he added the News of the World Match Play tournament which was the main British Match Play Championship, becoming the first golfer since James Braid ( 1905 ) to win both the Open and the Match Play title in the same year.

Braid continued his work with the research solid modeller BUILD which was the forerunner of many research and commercial solid modelling systems.

A trove of finished material for the album, with the same band of musicians, was not included on the official ten-song 42-minute album release in the summer of 1981 – " Blue Lamp ", which was released instead on the Heavy Metal soundtrack later in 1981, " Gold and Braid ", performed live in concert during Nicks ' 1981 concert tour, and " Sleeping Angel ", released on the Fast Times at Ridgemont High soundtrack in 1982.

Archard and his long term partner, Jim Belchamber, ran a touring repertory company, based in Torquay, which included Hilda Braid among its players.

Therefore, Braid defined hypnotism as a state of mental concentration that often leads to a form of progressive relaxation, termed " nervous sleep ".
