# Stuart Merrill

Stuart Fitzrandolph Merrill (August 1, 1863 in Hempstead, New York – December 1, 1915 in Versailles, France) was an American poet, who wrote mostly in the French language. He belonged to the Symbolist school. His principal books of poetry were Les Gammes (1887), Les Fastes (1891), and Petits Poèmes d'Automne (1895).

## Life

Merrill was the product of a conservative, wealthy, Protestant upbringing. In 1866, his father George received a diplomatic appointment to Paris, where Merrill would learn French and live for the next 19 years. Stéphane Mallarmé was one of Merrill's school instructors. His classmates included future symbolists René Ghil and Pierre Quillard. Merrill ran a weekly journal, Le fou, before returning to the States in 1884 to attend law school. On April 15, 1887, he went to Madison Square Theater in New York to hear Walt Whitman give his famous "Death of Abraham Lincoln" lecture. Afterwards, he had the opportunity to meet Whitman, an experience he later recorded in the magazine "Le Masque."
Also in 1887, Merrill published his first book of poems, Les gammes, in Paris, receiving wide critical acclaim in Europe. As his literary career took off he participated in radical political causes, siding with the anarchists in the famous Haymarket riots. When George Bernard Shaw attempted to circulate a petition in London calling for the release of Oscar Wilde, imprisoned for homosexuality, Merrill made a similar attempt to get notable artists and intellectuals in the United States to voice support for Wilde. Merrill's father disinherited him for his politics, but his mother continued to support him financially throughout his life.
In 1890, Merrill published Pastels in Prose, a collection of his translations of French prose poems. This was his only book to be published in America during his lifetime. The same year, he returned to Europe permanently. He married in 1891. For the years 1893–1908, his address was 53 Quai de Bourbon, Île Saint-Louis, Paris. Several more books, including Les fastes in 1891 and Petits poèmes d’automne in 1895, were published before his death of heart disease in 1915. In 1927 a small traffic way in the 17th arrondissement of Paris took the name Place Stuart-Merrill.

# Paraphidippus nigropilosus

Paraphidippus nigropilosus is a species of jumping spider in the genus Paraphidippus. The species is endemic to Mexico and was officially described by Nathan Banks in 1898. The specific epithet refers to the black hairs on the tibia and tarsi (Latin: nigro = black and pilōsus = hairy).
# Pes (river)

The Pes (Russian: Песь) is a river in Khvoyninsky District of Novgorod Oblast and in Chagodoshchensky District of Vologda Oblast in Russia. It is a right tributary of the Chagodoshcha. It is 145 kilometres (90 mi) long, and the area of its basin 2,730 square kilometres (1,050 sq mi). The principal tributary of the Pes is the Rattsa (left). The urban-type settlements of Khvoynaya and Sazonovo are located on the banks of the Pes.
The source of the Pes is Lake Rakitinskoye in the west of Khvoyninsky District. The Medveda is the principal tributary of Lake Rakitinskoye. The Pes flows in an easterly direction, passes the settlement of Khvoynaya, accepts the Kushavera from the right, enters Vologda Oblast, and turns northeast. In the settlement of Sazonovo, it accepts the Rattsa from the left. The mouth of the Pes is close to the urban-type settlement of Chagoda.
The river basin of the Pes comprises the major part (western and central) of Khvoyninsky District, some areas in the east of Lyubytinsky District of Novgorod Oblast, and the southwest of Chagodoshchensky district. In particular, it includes many lakes located in the southwest of Khvoyninsky District.
Until the 1990s, the Pes was used for timber rafting.

# Gregory of Elvira

Gregory Baeticus (died c. 392) was the bishop of Elvira, in the province of Baetica, Spain.

## Life

Gregory is first met with as Bishop of Elvira (Illiberis) in 375; he is mentioned in the Luciferian "Libellus precum ad Imperatores" as the defender of the Nicean creed, after Bishop Hosius of Cordova had given his assent in Sirmium to the second Sirmian formulation of doctrine, in the year 357. He proved himself at any rate an ardent opponent of Arianism, stood for the Nicean creed at the Council of Rimini, and refused to enter into ecclesiastical intercourse with the Arian bishops Ursacius of Singidunum and Valens of Mursa. He took, in fact, the extreme view, in common with Bishop Lucifer of Calaris (Cagliari), that it was unlawful to make advances to bishops or priests who at any time had been associated with Arianism, or to hold any religious communion with them. This Luciferian party found adherents in Spain, and on the death of Lucifer (370 or 371) Gregory of Elvira became the head and front of the movement. Such at least is the mention found of him in the Libellus precum above referred to, as well as in St. Jerome's chronicle. However, the progress made in Spain was by no means considerable.
He is venerated in Spain as a saint, his feast being celebrated on 24 April.

## Works

Gregory found time also for literary labours. St. Jerome says of him that he wrote, until a very ripe old age, a diversity of treatises composed in simple and ordinary language (mediocri sermone), and produced an excellent book (elegantem librum), De Fide, which is said to be still extant The book De Trinitate seu de Fide (Rome, 1575), which was ascribed to Gregory Bæticus by Achilles Statius, its first editor, did not come from his pen, but was written in Spain at the end of the fourth century. On the other hand, early historians of literature, e.g. Quesnel, and more recently Morin, have attributed to him the treatise De Fide orthodoxa, which is directed against Arianism, and figures among the works of St. Ambrose and of Vigilius of Thapsus.
The same may be said of the first seven of the twelve books De Trinitate, the authorship of which has been ascribed to Vigilius of Thapsus. A few commentators have also sought to prove that Gregory Bæticus was the writer of the tractatus De Libris Sacarum Scripturarum, published by Pierre Batiffol (Paris, 1900) as the work of Origen. It has been impossible to ascertain the authorship in question.
There is preserved a letter to him from Eusebius of Vercelli. As St. Jerome, in his De Viris Illustribus, written in 392, does not mention Gregory as being dead, the supposition is that the latter was still living at the time. He must, however, have been then a very old man and cannot in any event have long survived the year 392.
# Catholic Union of Government Personnel

The Catholic Union of Government Personnel (Dutch: Katholieke Bond van Overheidspersoneel, KABO) was a trade union representing blue collar public sector workers in the Netherlands.
The union was founded in 1914, when the Roman Catholic Municipal Workers' Union, "St Paulus", was reconstituted as the Dutch Roman Catholic Bond of Government Staff, also known as "St Paul". In 1925, it was a founding affiliate of the Roman Catholic Workers' Federation, and in 1945 it joined its successor, the Catholic Workers' Movement. At this point, it had 13,110 members.
The union adopted its final name in 1949. In 1964, it joined the Dutch Catholic Trade Union Federation (NKV), at which time, it had 36,803 members. The NKV formed a federation with the Dutch Confederation of Trade Unions (NVV) in 1975. The KABO objected to this, but agreed on the condition that the two would not necessarily merge.
By 1980, the union had 45,708 members, of whom, 33% worked in administration, 23% in communications, 22% in health, 9% in utilities, and the remainder in a variety of sectors. In 1982, it merged with the former NVV-affiliate the General Union of Civil Servants, to establish Abvakabo.

# Mandala Vatika

A mandala vatika (Sanskrit: मण्डलवाटिका, romanized: maṇḍalavāṭikā) is a garden with architecture that is designed per Vedic geometry. The word mandala literally means a circular, symmetrical pattern that is used in Hindu and Buddhist symbolism. The word vatika refers to garden, grove, parterre or plantation, and comes from Sanskrit usage.
In Hinduism, deities are represented and invoked through unique sacred, geometrical patterns inscribed in yantras and mandalas. These are used during worship and meditation, and sanctified with specific rituals and offerings to bring in blessings and auspiciousness.
The ancient texts of India refer to Mandala Vatikas that were dedicated to deities such as Ganesha, Durga, Lakshmi, Shiva, Kartikeya, to planets and even to constellations (Nakshatra Vana), so that individuals could meditate in these groves.
Over the centuries, much of this ancient knowledge from Vedic Scriptures was lost. This was either done to wield power, or protect the sanctity of the knowledge from getting diluted or misused.

# Graveyard (game)

Graveyard is a game most commonly played by children on the playground, or at parties. It is often initiated by one or more persons with prior knowledge of the rules and is usually played with several others who are unaware of them. The game is very simple and is most commonly used only as a means to select one of the participants for a task they would not be willing to perform voluntarily.

## Gameplay

Graveyard is initiated when one of the participants declares "Graveyard". Once begun, the only rule of the game is that the first person to speak is the loser. Most often, one of the participants unaware of the purpose of the game will immediately ask for the rules to be clarified, thus losing the game. If all participants are aware of the rules at the start of the game, the purpose becomes to not be the first to give in and speak voluntarily.

## Purpose

Graveyard is most often used to assign one of the players to a task that none would agree to do voluntarily. For example, if none of the guests at a party where alcohol is being consumed willingly volunteer to be the designated driver, one might suggest to play Graveyard as a means to select one. Alternatively, the game might be played to select an unwilling participant for a less than desirable position in a subsequent game. As an example, it may be used as a means to select one player to be "It" in a game of tag if none are willing to volunteer.

# Daniel Tossanus

Daniel Tossanus (Toussain, Toussaint) (1541–1602) was a French Reformed theologian.

## Life

He was born at Montbéliard on 15 July 1541, the son of Pierre Toussain. He was educated at Basel and Tübingen. Returning to France he preached for six months in his native town, and went to Orléans, 1560, where, after being a teacher of Hebrew, he was ordained minister of the local Reformed church in 1561. In 1568 he was forced to flee with other Protestants, but was soon discovered and imprisoned for two weeks. He then left with his family to Montargis, where he was protected by the duchess of Ferrara until the king of France demanded the expulsion of all Huguenots.
He now sought refuge in Sancerre, and after a year returned to Montbéliard. Here he was charged with teaching Calvinistic and Zwinglian heresies; his reply was an affirmation of his Lutheran belief. In 1571 he was recalled to Orléans, and held service in the castle Isle, a few miles away. At the news of the massacre on St. Bartholomew's Day, he left just in time to escape the massacre and pillage at Isle the next day; and he was concealed by a Roman Catholic nobleman at Montargis and later by the duchess in a tower of her castle. In November 1572, he was able to return to his father at Montbéliard, but Lutheran intolerance again drove him out, and he accepted a call to the French refugees at Basel.
In March 1573, he was appointed chaplain to the Count Palatine Frederick III at Heidelberg, but in 1576 the Calvinistic Frederick was succeeded by his son, the Lutheran Louis VI, and the Reformed were expelled. They found a Calvinist patron, however, in John Casimir, the brother of the count, at Neustadt, where Tossanus became inspector of churches and also helped found an academy in which he was one of the teachers. After the death of Zacharias Ursinus, he was also preacher to the refugees' church of St. Lambert. In 1583 Louis VI died, and John Casimir became regent. Calling Tossanus onto his council, he expelled the Lutherans from Heidelberg, and Tossanus later became professor of theology, and in 1584, rector.

## Family

Paul Tossanus was his son. His daughter Maria was mother of Theodore Haak.

## Works

As an author he was prolific, producing 33 works, listed in F. W. Cuno, Daniel Tossanus (Amsterdam, 1898).

# The Dolphin Dream Society

The Dolphin Dream Society is a Croatian non-governmental and nonprofit organization founded in Zagreb in May 2001 with the intent to promote environmental awareness, environmental protection and maritime heritage as well as sustainable development of the Adriatic Sea, coast and islands. The association was founded by a group of enthusiasts inspired by the "Dolphin Dream", a novel by Adrian Predrag Kezele who was also named association's honorary president.

## Project activities

In its previous work the association has implemented a number of project activities with the program "Support the Adriatic Colours" (2003 - 2011) and its three projects: The Blue, The Green and The White having a special place and importance.
As part of The Blue project 15 cleanup of the shore and seabed actions were implemented with 30 tons of waste pulled out from the Adriatic Sea. These actions were accompanied by the national campaign to promote the protection of the Adriatic Sea called "Support the color of the Adriatic - Preserve the Blue, and the systematic development of the educational study ALTEA targeting Croatian high school students.
Project The Green was designed as a national donation campaign "Plant a Life!" aiming to strengthen social consciousness and responsibility and collect donations for the restoration of (pine and cypress) forests of the Adriatic region, and planting olive trees on preselected locations along the Adriatic coast and its islands. On locations along the Adriatic coast (from Istria to Dubrovnik), in cooperation with many partners 20 00 seedlings of pines and cypresses, and 7000 seedlings of olive trees were planted.
Project The White aimed at conserving Croatian traditional shipbuilding and promoting environmental awareness and sustainable development. The national campaign from 2006 "Loving means conserving! warned the public of the need to preserve the natural and cultural heritage of the Adriatic region, its shoreline and islands as a protected entity with preserved biodiversity. As part of the project, in Spring 2011 in Betina on the island of Murter, The Dolphin Dream Society launched a replica of traditional bracera from the 18th century with a white lateen sail named "Our Lady of the Sea" (Croatian: Gospa od mora).
Today, following The White project, The Dolphin Dream Society is running the Maritima Art program - maritime heritage in responsible tourism. The program formed a comprehensive tourist offer based on a traditional boat, as well as an educational program in order to preserve skills of traditional sailing with the lateen sail.

# BeetleCam

The BeetleCam is a remote controlled buggy with a DSLR or mirrorless camera mounted on top which can be used to film and photograph wildlife at very close range.

## History

Created by Will Burrard-Lucas, its first shots were released in 2010 in a series called "The Adventures of BeetleCam." It filmed African wildlife in the Ruaha and Katavi National Parks in Tanzania. One of the cameras was destroyed in an encounter with a lion.
Will Burrard-Lucas and his brother, Matt, returned to Africa in 2011 with two improved BeetleCams, with the aim of focusing on lions. During this project they created a set of pictures of feeding lions and playful cubs. This series was first released in 2012 in an article called "BeetleCam vs the Lions of the Masai Mara". BeetleCam Mark II used a Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III.
In 2012, Burrard-Lucas moved to Zambia and used a new version of the BeetleCam to photograph leopards and other animals, primarily in South Luangwa National Park.
In 2013, Will Burrard-Lucas founded Camtraptions Ltd. and started producing BeetleCams for other wildlife photographers and filmmakers.
