	About J.B. Rhine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Joseph Banks Rhine was born in Juniata County, Pennsylvania, on September 29, 1895, the son of an itinerant farmer/merchant who early on encouraged him to get an education and be curious about the world, especially the unusual and the unexplored.
		He was educated at Ohio Northern University, the College of Wooster, and the University of Chicago, where he received his M.A. (1923) and Ph.D. (1925) degrees in botany.
		His admirers as well as his adversaries agree that parapsychology is what it its today largely because of him.

	However, there are indication sat at least a part of the psyche is not subject o the laws of space and time (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Rhine and Jung were united by their strong interest in the psyche’s ability to transcend the usual boundaries of time and space.
		Rhine, on the other hand, never had any significant extrasensory experience of his own, but came to parapsychology because of the scientific and philosophical implications of the phenomena.
		Rhine’s concept of causality remained conservative, and it is doubtful that he ever completely understood Jung’s concept of synchronicity.

	Rhine River
		The Rhine River is one of the most important waterways in Germany and is linked by canals to other major rivers in Western Europe.
		Goethe's journey down the Rhine in 1774 was the start of the Age of romanticism.
		One day I went in a boat in the Rhine river and I must say it was very nice and there a lot of castles I saw like 10 or 15 castles, very nice castles so I recommend you to go if you can, remember there are many castles of all sizes, colors and stiles.

	An Accidental Encounter, Precognition,
		I report here a story peripherally involving J. Rhine, first told to me in 1983 by a woman who is the principal in the case, who wishes not to be named because of her position in the community.
		Rhine was involved in the experience, along with Dr. Singh, a guru from India with a Ph.D. and a member of a high caste.
		Rhine had told the experiencer in the initial meeting not to tell him first how she came to have the cross, but to wait and tell it to Dr. Singh.

	Rhine's Classic ESP Experiment
		J.B. Rhine was at the time an assistant professor in the department of which Professor McDougall was head; it was generally understood in those days that research in parapsychology was approved by the Department.
		In ESP card tests given by J.G. Pratt and J.B. Rhine during the intervening period he had exceeded the average score to be expected from chance in practically every experimental session under a wide variety of conditions.
		Aside from planning the experiment, J.B. Rhine participated only in the independent checking of the results, except for Series D in which he participated with J.G. Pratt as the witness to the operation of the test.

		Rhine did his share of debunking and was not apologetic about it; in fact, his expose of a fake spiritualist led to Rhine's denouncement by his original inspiration, Arthur Conan Doyle.
		In honor of the 100th anniversary of J. Rhine's birth, FRNM was rechristened as the Rhine Research Center in 1995.

	ISS: General Relations of ESP to the Individual Subject: J. B. Rhine, J. G. Pratt, C. E. Stuart, B. M. Smith and J. A. ...
		This article was collectively written by J. Rhine (Professor of Psychology), J. Pratt (Instructor in Psychology), Charles E. Stuart (Prince Memorial Fellow), Burke M. Smith (Graduate Research Assistant) and Joseph A. Greenwood (Assistant Professor of Mathematics) of the Parapsychology Laboratory Department of Psychology at Duke University.
		Rhine examined a professional medium in both telepathy and clairvoyance tests, in trance and waking states, and obtained significant results; but in later pre-shuffle card calling tests, as stated above, obtained only chance averages, as did Goldney and Soal still later in the GESP and clairvoyance tests working with the same medium.
		At the other extreme, one of Rhine's major subjects was an exceptional student; on the whole his subjects represented a good cross section of the university student group.

	The Capricious, Actively Evasive, Unsustainable Nature of Psi: A Summary and Hypotheses
		In fact, J. Rhine (1974) argued that these internal effects were some of the best evidence for psi because the lack of motivation, intention, and expectation for their occurrence reduced the likelihood of fraud or errors.
		Rhine terminated the study because he thought it unlikely that the positive results would resume.
		For example, in Louisa Rhine's collection, approximately 90% of the precognition cases did not involve any effort to change the outcome of the event (L. Rhine, 1981).

		Rhine and Pratt (1957) and Thouless (1972) discussed long-term declines in terms of waning interest and enthusiasm on the part of the experimenter.
		Rhine suggested frequent procedural changes to release the experimenter from the fatigue and boredom that accompany prolonged testing.

	Alipsi: Curriculum Vitae
		Rhine not only charges against science but audatiously gives Parapsychology the faculty of producing facts and arguments capable of counteracting communist ideology, which not only tries to attract the poor and ignorant masses but also the relevant scientists of the Western world...
		Rhine proposes that this vacuum be filled by parapsychology, which would then be the ideological shield against communism, that is against dialectical materialism...
		As we have observed, Rhine’s interest in the development of parapsychology in Latin-America continued for many years, probably attracted by the influence of his work in countries like Argentina and Chile, mainly, and because of the generosity and warmth of the Latin-America culture, all of which contributed to breaking the barriers of language.

		But the head of the family hastened to add that among Americans, whom he might speak for, the enthusiasm for the beauties of the Rhine was not less than among their Anglo-Saxon cousins.
		We had a most interesting conversation, and I was not a little moved, as I observed that these foreigners who had travelled over half the world, and had seen the grandeur of Switzerland and the charms of Italy, should have such an unaffected admiration for our grand old stream.
		I was indeed deeply touched, and my thoughts travelled back to the days of "long, long ago" when as a tittle chap in my native Bonn, 1 had first listened with interest to the melodious voices of the golden-haired daughters of old Albion who came in large numbers to reside in the famous university town.

	THE NAUTILUS AFFAIR
		A rigidly-controlled telepathy experiment on the pattern of J.B. Rhine's card-calling ESP trials was said to have started aboard the Nautilus on July 25th 1958, and run for a period of 16 days.
		B: The experimental techniques, including the use of a card-shuffling randomizing machine at the 'sending' end, were unmistakably those developed by J.B. Rhine at his Parapsychology Laboratory at Duke University, and published in numerous variations in the Journal of Parapsychology.
		In order to take advantage of mechanical aid in the statistical work, (Rhine either means calculating machines, or the card-shuffling and dice-throwing randomizing machines which had to be specially built - VP) and such other matters as traveling expenses, it would be advisable to add $5,000 as a conservative estimate.

		Europe’s busiest waterway, the Rhine is navigable over a distance of 883 kilometers stretching from its source near Basel to its mouth in the Netherlands.
		One of the most serious is in the Rhine delta’s huge basin in the Netherlands, where toxin-filled mud dredged from the port of Rotterdam has been dumped since the 1970s.
		And all along the Rhine, the main source of pollution is still farm fertilisers, which seep into the river every time it rains.

	ESP (extrasensory perception)
		Rhine was among the first parapsychologists to test ESP phenomena in the laboratory.
		In the classic Rhine experiments on ESP, the subject tries to guess or "call" the order of the five symbols when they are randomly arranged in a deck of 25 ESP cards.
		Rhine suggested the reason for dreams being efficient carriers of ESP messages is because the barriers surrounding the conscious mind appear to be thinnest.

		The discussion can rotate around the topics that were mentioned in the quiz; telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, pyschokinesis, the Ganzfeld procedure, and J.B. Rhine’s experiments, but might not focus at this point on the criticisms of ESP. That topic might be discussed to a further extent after they have run through their student exercise.
