About 510 bce, Almaeon of Crotona, a member of the Pythagorean medical circle, located the seat of perception in the brain, or enkephalos, and maintained that there were passages connecting the senses to the brain, a position he was said to have arrived at by dissections of the optic nerve.
By about 335 bce, Aristotle had said that universals are abstractions from particulars and that we "have knowledge of a scientific fact when we can prove that it could not be otherwise." But "since observation never shows whether this is the case," he established "reason rather observation at the center of scientific effort" (Park 1990:32).

For one thing, BCE is one of Canada's top two carriers, the other being Telus Corp. (NYSE: TU - message board; Toronto: T), so its fortunes are closely tied to those of the North American telecom market, of which Canadian carriers account for roughly 16 percent.
Sources say the potential regroupings at BCE also reflect an season of reckoning up north, one that will ultimately lead to a bottoming out in carrier spending in Canada next year -- a trend that is bound to tug negatively at the North American carrier equipment market.

The decree's provisions indicate political difficulties on Carpathos which led to Athenian intervention and to political privileges and higher political status for the koinon within the Delian League.
This paper argues that the gift of the cypress and issuance of the decree are associated with the first appearance of the koinon on the Athenian Tribute List in 434/3 BCE (ATL 274).
The koinon appears under the rubric, "cities which took the initiative in getting themselves assessed" (Lepper, JHS 82 [1962]); we can regard this action as evidence of Eteocarpathian initiative in working out the terms of its accession to the alliance.
