Atlantis - world there is another, unknown, of incredible immensity, where immeasurably vast blooming meadows and pastures feed herds of various, huge and mighty beasts (perhaps buffaloeses?). Claudius Aelianus cites Theopompus, knowing of the existence of the huge island out in the Atlantic as a continuing tradition among the Phoenicians or Carthaginians of Cadiz. Perhaps the Byzantine friar Cosmas Indicopleustes understood Plato better than the ancient and modern "Aristotelians", says Merezhkovsky. In his Topographica Christiana he included a chart of the terrestrial globe: it showed an inner sphere, a compact mainland surrounded by sea, having no visible support and being suspended, as it were, in the air; and this was surrounded by an outer sphere, with the inscription, "The earth beyond the Ocean, where men lived before the Flood." Recent esoteric writers such.
Bermuda Triangle - by E.V.W. Jones as a sidebar on recent ship losses on the AP wire. It was again mentioned in 1952 in a Fate magazine article, by George Sand. The term "Bermuda Triangle" was first popularised by Vincent Gaddis in a 1964 Argosy feature. It achieved true fame largely through the efforts of Charles Berlitz in his 1974 book The Bermuda Triangle. The book consisted of a series of recountings of mysterious disappearances of ships and aircraft, collected from local newpaper reports. The book was a best-seller, and many interested readers offered theories to explain the nature of the disappearances. The list includes natural storms, transportation by extraterrestrial technology, a temporal hole, the lost Atlantis empire from the bottom of the ocean, and other natural and supernatural causes. A librarian named Larry.
Bessie Coleman - an airplane pilot. Ms. Coleman was married briefly to Charles Wilson Pankey. Born in Atlanta, Texas, Coleman was subjected to many scenes of racism as a young child. Near her home, a Black man was accused of raping a five year old girl and burned to death. Her family could not make use of many White-only public services. The elementary school that she attended lacked such materials as chalk and pencils very often. Coleman desired to progress from her poverty stricken beginnings, so she moved to Chicago by the age of 23. She worked at a supermarket there with her brothers. Her life would change there, however, thanks to her brother and pilots who were returning home from World War I. They told stories about flying in the war and Coleman.
Biefeld-Brown effect - leaves a cloud of positively charged ions in the medium, which are attracted to the negative electrode. This also drags along some of the surrounding medium, causing what is known as ion wind, which creates a breeze of considerably greater magnitude than the ions themselves account for. This effect can be used for propulsion (see Lifter) and fluid pumps. The effect has become something of a cause celebre in the UFO world, where it is seen as an example of something much more exotic than electrokinetics. Charles Berlitz devoted an entire chapter of his book The Philadelphia Experiment to a retelling of Brown's early work with the effect, implying he had discovered some new electrogravity effect being used by UFOs. In fact Brown was fully aware of how the device worked,.
Philadelphia Experiment - postcard, asking for further evidence and corroboration for the story, such as dates and specific details of his fantastic story.

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich von Schlegel - (1803), lectured on philosophy and carried on Oriental studies, some results of which he embodied in an epoch-making book, Über die Sprache und Weisheit der Indier (1808). In the same year in which this work appeared, he and his wife Dorothea (1763-1839), a daughter of Moses Mendelssohn, joined the Roman Catholic Church, and from this time he became more and more opposed to the principles of political and religious freedom. He went to Vienna and in 1809 was appointed imperial court secretary at the headquarters of the archduke Charles. At a later period he was councillor of legation in the Austrian embassy at the Frankfurt diet, but in 1818 he returned to Vienna.

Karl August von Hardenberg - leave the Hanoverian service. In 1782 he entered that of the duke of Brunswick, and as president of the board of domains displayed a zeal for reform, in the manner approved by the enlightened despots of the century, that rendered him very unpopular with the orthodox clergy and the conservative estates. In Brunswick, too, his position was in the end made untenable by the conduct of his wife, whom he now divorced; he himself, shortly afterwards, marrying a divorced woman. Fortunately for him, this coincided with the lapsing of the principalities of Ansbach and Bayreuth to Prussia, owing to the resignation of the last margrave, Charles Alexander, in 1791. Hardenberg, who happened to be in Berlin at the time, was on the recommendation of Herzberg appointed administrator of the principalities (1792)..

Kant and the Platypus: Essays on Language and Cognition - Nietzsche's argument that the truth is a poetically elaborated "mobile army of metaphors, metonymies and anthropomorphisms" that subsequently gel into knowledge, "illusions whose illusory nature has been forgotten", as the metaphors are reduced to schemata and concepts. In chapter two, working with ideas derived from Charles Peirce and Immanuel Kant, Eco compares linguistic and perceptual meaning when confronted with the unencountered. Chapter three explores the Aztec encounter with the horse in terms of Cognitive Type, the private mechanism which allows identification of an object, and the Nuclear Content, which clarifies the relevant features inter-subjectively. To this is added Molar Content, which provides a much broader range of knowledge, even if resticted to specific competences. From these he develops an understanding of social elements in the organisation of knowledge. With chapter four.
