Wesley C. Salmon: Wesley C Salmon (August 9, 1925 – April 22, 2001) was an American philosopher of science renowned for his work on the nature of scientific explanation.  He also worked on confirmation theory, trying to explicate how probability theory via inductive logic might help confirm and choose hypotheses.  Yet most prominently, Salmon was a realist about causality in scientific explanation, although his realist explanation of causality drew ample criticism.  Still, his books on scientific explanation itself were landmarks of the 20th century's philosophy of science, and solidified recognition of causality's important roles in scientific explanation, whereas causality itself has evaded satisfactory elucidation by anyone.

Robert B. Laughlin: Robert Betts Laughlin (born November 1, 1950) is the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Stanford University.  Along with Horst L. Störmer of Columbia University and Daniel C. Tsui of Princeton University, he was awarded a share of the 1998 Nobel Prize in physics for their explanation of the fractional quantum Hall effect.

Supercontinuum: In optics, a supercontinuum is formed when a collection of nonlinear processes act together upon a pump beam in order to cause severe spectral broadening of the original pump beam, for example using a microstructured optical fiber.  The result is a smooth spectral continuum (see figure 1 for a typical example).  There is no definitive explanation of how much broadening constitutes a supercontinuum; however researchers have published work claiming as little as 60 nm of broadening as a supercontinuum.  There is also no agreement on the spectral flatness required to define the bandwidth of the source, with authors using anything from 5 dB to 40 dB or more.  In addition the term supercontinuum itself did not gain widespread acceptance until this century, with many authors using alternative phrases to describe their continua during the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.

Clara Driscoll (philanthropist): Clara's grandfather Daniel O'Driscoll had been born in County Cork, Ireland.  and was a veteran of the Battle of San Jacinto.  In return for his service, he was awarded 1200 acre , plus an additional one-third of a league of land, in Victoria County, Texas.  He also served as a Refugio County Judge.  In 1837, Daniel married Catherine McGrath Duggan (1796–1852), of Cashel, County Tipperary, Ireland, widow of Pat Duggan.  Daniel became stepfather to Catherine's and Pat's children, Michael, John and Ellen, who later married Mississippi plantation owner Daniel C Doughty.  Mr. O'Driscoll died in an accident in 1849 and is buried at Mt. Calvary Cemetery in Refugio.

Upstream contamination: Upstream contamination by floating particles is a counterintuitive phenomenon in fluid dynamics.  When pouring water from a higher container to a lower one, particles floating in the latter can climb upstream into the upper container.  A definitive explanation is still lacking: experimental and computational evidence indicates that the contamination is chiefly driven by surface tension gradients, however the phenomenon is also affected by the dynamics of swirling flows that remain to be fully investigated.

Yeti: In the folklore of Nepal, the Yeti ( ) or Abominable Snowman (Nepali: हिममानव "himamānav", lit.  "snow man") is an ape-like entity, taller than an average human, that is said to inhabit the Himalayan region of Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet.  The names "Yeti" and "Meh-Teh" are commonly used by the people indigenous to the region, and are part of their history and mythology.  Stories of the Yeti first emerged as a facet of Western popular culture in the 19th century.

New Zealand State Highway 85: State Highway 85 is a South Island state highway in New Zealand, servicing the Maniototo Plains and the North and Central Otago regions of the South Island between the major settlements of Alexandra and Palmerston.  It is wholly two lane and passes through some of the most extreme climatic regions in New Zealand.  The highway is known colloquially as "The Pigroot".  Though there is no definitive explanation for this name, A. W. Reed, in his book "Place Names of New Zealand", mentions an incident during John Turnbull Thomson's survey of inland Otago in which local wild pigs were so unafraid of humans that a huge boar approached his party and rubbed its nose against that of Thomson's horse.

The Indian Antiquary: The Indian Antiquary, A journal of oriental research in archaeology, history, literature, language, philosophy, religion, folklore, &c, &c, (subtitle varies) was a journal of original research relating to India, published between 1872 and 1933.  It was founded by the archaeologist James Burgess to enable the sharing of knowledge between scholars based in Europe and in India and was notable for the high quality of its epigraphic illustrations which enabled scholars to make accurate translations of texts that in many cases remain the definitive versions to this day.  It was also pioneering in its recording of Indian folklore and folktales.  It was succeeded by "The New Indian Antiquary" (1938-47) and the "Indian Antiquary" (1964-71).

Daniel C. Taylor: Daniel C. Taylor (born June 26, 1945) is an American scholar and practitioner of social change, with notable achievements in community-led conservation and global education.  He also recognized as giving a definitive explanation for the century-old Yeti or Abominable Snowman) mysteries.

Rescue Hook and Ladder Co.1 Haverstraw NY: “The origin of the department dates back to the burning of a barn in the lower part of the village on the property of George E. DeNoyelles on January 24, 1854.  This event demonstrated the necessity of some sort of an equipped.  And organized department, in order that the citizens of those days would be better able to guard their homes and property against the ravages of fire.  The DeNoyelles fire occurred on a Sunday evening just as the late reverend A. S. Freeman was about to deliver his sermon.  One of the congregation sitting near the door and hearing the alarm became so excited that he arose in his pew and shouted, “We are all on fire!”  To tell it as the doctor afterwards described the incident: “There was a sudden vision of coat tails flying out behind and a precipitous retreat of men, women and children, and finding myself standing in the pulpit facing empty seats 1 concluded to suspend the services with the benediction.”  Although the good people never said so, it can be safely assumed that he joined the rest of his congregation in fighting the fire and organizing the first company of the department.  So, the days following the DeNoyelles fire striking posters in the biggest type then in vogue were distributed throughout the village.  These posters or dodgers read: “FIRE, FIRE, FIRE ”!!  ■‘Citizens of Haverstraw, will you meet with us on Saturday evening next, January the twenty-eighth, at the ball-room of the American Hotel, and assist in raising . an amount of money sufficient to purchase the necessary apparatus for a hook and ladder company “Signed: James Creney, Samuel Cosgrove, Samson Marks, John Begg, John Felter.  C. I. Holliman, J. D. Bostwick, Jacob Allison, Alfred Hazzard and Robert Smith.’  This meeting was largely attended, fully one-half of the male population of the village attending.  Owing to the failure to arrange the preliminaries the meeting was adjourned to the evening of February 18, 1854.  The organization perfected of Rescue Hook and Ladder Company No. 1, with the following charter members: Asbury DeNoylles, James King, William Felter, John Jones, Daniel C. Springsteen, John Begg, J.W. Edwards, John Gains, Theodore Polhemus, Edgar Freeman, Edward Peck, Matthew Rose, A.E. Milburn, Jackson Rose, Jacob Allison, Lewis Mackey, Stephen Fields, Matthew Cooper, Denton Fowler, Bradley Keesler, James Creney, Samuel A. VerValen, Harmon Felter, John Felter, William R. Lane, Edward Felter, Isaiah Milburn, William Bedell, W.B. McLaren, George E. DeNovelles, Lewis Whittaker, Silas Mackay, Garrett Storms, Fred Glassing, Joseph Hazard, John p.
