Alfred Habdank Skarbek Korzybski was a Polish-American independent scholar who developed a field called general semantics, which he viewed as both distinct from, more encompassing than, the field of semantics. He argued that human knowledge of the world is limited both by the human nervous system and the languages humans have developed, thus no one can have direct access to reality, given that the most we can know is that, filtered through the brain's responses to reality, his best known dictum is "The map is not the territory". Born in Warsaw, Poland part of the Russian Empire, Korzybski belonged to an aristocratic Polish family whose members had worked as mathematicians and engineers for generations, he learned the Polish language at the Russian language in schools. Korzybski studied engineering at the Warsaw University of Technology. During the First World War Korzybski served as an intelligence officer in the Russian Army. After being wounded in a leg and suffering other injuries, he moved to North America in 1916 to coordinate the shipment of artillery to Russia.

He lectured to Polish-American audiences about the conflict, promoting the sale of war bonds. After the war he decided to remain in the United States, becoming a naturalized citizen in 1940, he met a painter of portraits on ivory, shortly after the 1918 Armistice. E. P. Dutton published Korzybski's first book, Manhood of Humanity, in 1921. In this work he proposed and explained in detail a new theory of humankind: mankind as a "time-binding" class of life. Korzybski's work culminated in the initiation of a discipline; this should not be confused with semantics. The basic principles of general semantics, which include time-binding, are described in the publication Science and Sanity, published in 1933. In 1938 Korzybski founded the Institute of General Semantics in Chicago; the post-World War II housing shortage in Chicago cost him the Institute's building lease, so in 1946 he moved the Institute to Lakeville, Connecticut, U. S. where he directed it until his death in 1950. Korzybski maintained that humans are limited in what they know by the structure of their nervous systems, the structure of their languages.

Humans cannot experience the world directly, but only through their "abstractions". These sometimes mislead us about. Our understanding sometimes lacks similarity of structure with what is happening, he sought to train our awareness of abstracting, using techniques he had derived from his study of mathematics and science. He called this awareness, this goal of his system, "consciousness of abstracting", his system included. Another technique involved becoming inwardly and outwardly quiet, an experience he termed, "silence on the objective levels". Many devotees and critics of Korzybski reduced his rather complex system to a simple matter of what he said about the verb form "is" of the general verb "to be." His system, however, is based on such terminology as the different "orders of abstraction," and formulations such as "consciousness of abstracting." The contention that Korzybski opposed the use of the verb "to be" would be a profound exaggeration. He thought that certain uses of the verb "to be", called the "is of identity" and the "is of predication", were faulty in structure, e.g. a statement such as, "Elizabeth is a fool".

In Korzybski's system, one's assessment of Elizabeth belongs to a higher order of abstraction than Elizabeth herself. Korzybski's remedy was to deny identity. We find Elizabeth not the nonverbal domain; this was expressed by Korzybski's most famous premise, "the map is not the territory". Note that this premise uses the phrase "is not", a form of "to be". In fact, he said explicitly that there were no structural problems with the verb "to be" when used as an auxiliary verb or when used to state existence or location, it was acceptable at times to use the faulty forms of the verb "to be," as long as one was aware of their structural limitations. One day, Korzybski was giving a lecture to a group of students, he interrupted the lesson in order to retrieve a packet of biscuits, wrapped in white paper, from his briefcase, he muttered that he just had to eat something, he asked the students on the seats in the front row if they would like a biscuit. A few students took a biscuit. "Nice biscuit, don't you think," said Korzybski, while he took a second one.

The students were chewing vigorously. He tore the white paper from the biscuits, in order to reveal the original packaging. On it was a big picture of a dog's head and the words "Dog Cookies." The students looked at the package, were shocked. Two of them wanted to vomit, put their hands in front of their mouths, ran out of the l

Cosmia diffinis, the white-spotted pinion, is a moth of the family Noctuidae The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1767. It is found in central and southern Europe, to the north it is found up to central England and the southern parts of the Netherlands. There is a disjunct population in Gotland. To the south, it is found down to Spain, Russia, northern Greece and Bulgaria. In the east, it is found as far as the Black Sea. C. diffinis L.. Forewing rich redbrown on a pinkish grey ground. Larva like that of affinis; the wingspan is 29–35 mm. Adults are on wing from June to August in one generation; the larvae feed on united leaves of elms.

Theodore Dunham Jr. was an American astronomer and physicist. He was born in New York City, the first-born son of Theodore Dunham, a surgeon, Josephine Balestier, he was educated at both in New York. At Harvard University he studied chemistry and graduated summa cum laude in 1921 with an A. B.. His graduate work was at Cornell University, where he was awarded his M. D. in 1925. He studied physics at Princeton University, earning an A. M. in 1926 and a Ph. D. in 1927. He was married to Miriam Phillips Thompson in 1926, the couple would have two children. In 1928 he joined the staff of Mount Wilson Observatory, where he would remain until 1947. In 1932, together with Walter S. Adams, they discovered that the atmosphere of Venus contained carbon dioxide under high pressure. Two years in 1934, the two found that the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere of Mars was less than one percent of the amount over a comparable area on Earth. In 1936 he became the Scientific Director of the Fund for Astrophysical Research, would hold that position for the remainder of his life.

During World War II he served in the Office of Scientific Research and Development, where he was Chief of the Optical Instrument Section. Beginning in 1946, he performed medical research into the application of physical methods, he was at the Harvard Medical School until 1948 as a Warren Fellow in Surgery, before moving to University of Rochester. Between 1948 and 1957 he developed tools that could be used for spectrophotometric analysis of locations within a biological cell, he joined the Australian National University faculty in 1957. He became a senior research fellow at the University of Tasmania in 1965, before returning to the United States in 1970. There he rejoined the Harvard College Observatory, he died at his home in New Hampshire. In his honor, the Fund for Astrophysical Research makes annual Theodore Dunham, Jr. Grants for Research in Astronomy
