# Nicholas Mercator

Nicholas (Nikolaus) Mercator (c. 1620, Holstein – 1687, Versailles), also known by his German name Kauffmann, was a 17th-century mathematician.
He was born in Eutin, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany and educated at Rostock and Leyden after which he lived from 1642 to 1648 in the Netherlands. He lectured at the University of Copenhagen during 1648–1654 and lived in Paris from 1655 to 1657. He was mathematics tutor to Joscelyne Percy, son of the 10th Earl of Northumberland, at Petworth, Sussex (1657). He taught mathematics in London (1658–1682). On 3 May 1661 he observed a transit of Mercury with Christiaan Huygens and Thomas Streete from Long Acre, London. On 14 November 1666 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. He designed a marine chronometer for Charles II.
In 1682 Jean Colbert invited Mercator to assist in the design and construction of the fountains at the Palace of Versailles, so he relocated there, but a falling-out with Colbert followed.
Mathematically, he is most well known for his treatise Logarithmo-technia on logarithms, published in 1668. In this treatise he described the Mercator series:
    $\ln(1+x)=x-{\frac {1}{2}}x^{2}+{\frac {1}{3}}x^{3}-{\frac {1}{4}}x^{4}+\cdots .$
Nicholas Mercator was the first person to use the term natural logarithm.
To the field of music, Mercator contributed the first precise account of 53 equal temperament, which was of theoretical importance, but not widely practised.
He died at Versailles in 1687.

# Fantasy: Mariah Carey at Madison Square Garden

Fantasy: Mariah Carey at Madison Square Garden is Mariah Carey's fourth DVD/home video release. It presents Carey performing live at the Madison Square Garden on October 10, 1995. The home video was originally released in early 1996, and the DVD was released in late 2004. It was distributed by Columbia Pictures.
Originally shown as a television special on November 29, 1995, on Fox, the video presented Carey performing a concert to celebrate and promote her fifth studio album, Daydream, and to help prepare her and her crew for her 1996 Daydream World Tour. Carey performed five songs from Daydream—"Fantasy", "One Sweet Day", "Always Be My Baby", "Open Arms", and "Forever"—in addition to six of her older hits: "Vision of Love", "Make It Happen", "I'll Be There", "Dreamlover", "Hero", and "Without You".
The concert featured a number of guest stars. Boyz II Men performed "One Sweet Day" with Carey, and Wanya Morris of Boyz II Men also performed "I'll Be There" with her. Although he did not perform with Carey, Ol' Dirty Bastard came out and rapped some of his lines to the Bad Boy Remix of "Fantasy".
The video release comes with two bonus music videos of "One Sweet Day" and the C&C Video Edit of "Anytime You Need a Friend". Performances of "Vision of Love," "Make It Happen," "Fantasy," and "One Sweet Day" from this concert would later be compiled into audio release as official live versions on commercial/promo singles.
Fantasy: Mariah Carey at Madison Square Garden was re-released in 2008 as part of Mariah Carey: DVD Collection, a 2 DVD set released in Europe (PAL) and Asia (NTSC) also including #1's.
The video is presented in a slightly altered version, omitting Carey's introduction of her band members preceding "Vision of Love," segments of the outro that featured Ol' Dirty Bastard, segments of her waving to the crowd at the conclusion of the concert, and the credit of "Joy to the World – From St. John the Divine", as that performance was not included on the VHS or DVD version of this release (but originally aired on the FOX special.)
It was released for digital download on the iTunes Store on December 7, 2021.

# FantasyGuru.com

FantasyGuru.com, launched in 1995, is a subscription-based fantasy football website. The company, which originated as a newsletter published by owner John Hansen, entered its 17th year in business in 2011. Specializing in the National Football League, the site provides projections, statistical analysis, player rankings, and other tools for subscribers. The site's staff also produces regular podcasts and is active in social networking, with accounts on Facebook and Twitter.

## History

Hansen started the Guru Report Newsletter as a side project in 1995, and continued mailing and faxing hardcopies until 1997. In 1998, Hansen turned the publication into a website and eventually an annual magazine, opting for online-only content with the discontinuation of the magazine in 2009. Additionally, in 2006, Hansen began publishing a syndicated column for King Features.
Starting in 2003 and continuing today, FantasyGuru.com regularly produces content for Yahoo's fantasy section. They are particularly focused on a fantasy player’s range of outcomes.

## Radio

In 2004, Hansen and FoxSports.com’s Adam Caplan began hosting SiriusXM Fantasy Football, which aired Friday nights during the NFL season on Sirius NFL Radio.
The success of the show prompted SiriusXM to create SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio, giving FantasyGuru.com a seven-day-a-week program during the NFL season, including senior writers Matt Camp and Joe Dolan picking up a weekend edition of the program. SiriusXM vice president of sports Steve Cohen said the fantasy show's success on Sirius NFL Radio helped to lay the groundwork for the channel and convinced the company "to keep building on" the fantasy platform.
With the channel, Hansen and his staff have participated in multiple expert drafts. Additionally, Hansen has participated in celebrity drafts and, in 2010, Hansen hosted Ashton Kutcher's celebrity draft auction live from Las Vegas.
The Elite Sports show on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio is hosted by Jeff Mans who took over as operator of Fantasy Guru for John Hansen.

## Television

Hansen was among the first fantasy writers to publish content for ESPN.com when the site was in its infancy, and he parlayed that experience into appearing on-camera in projects with NFL.com, NFL Network, DirectTV, and the Comcast SportsNet television show Fantasy Fix.

# Nick Wirth

Nicholas John Peter Wirth (born 26 March 1966) is an automotive engineer and the founder and owner of Wirth Research.
He is also the former owner of the Simtek Formula One team, a former aerodynamicist at March and former technical director at the Benetton, and Virgin Racing teams.

## Education and early life

Wirth attended Sevenoaks School from 1977 to 1984 and has B.Sc(Hons) in Mechanical Engineering (First Class) from University College London and is the youngest-ever Fellow of the Royal Institution of Mechanical Engineers.

## March

Wirth started his Formula One career as an aerodynamicist for March Engineering, working on the 1988 and 1989 Leyton House March cars. In addition, he conceived and designed all components of the March active suspension system, which ran successfully in February 1989.

## Simtek

Simtek Research was founded in 1989 by Max Mosley and Nick Wirth. It originally was involved in many areas of Formula One, including wind tunnel construction and chassis building for third parties. Wirth was previously employed by March Team owner Mosley.
From October 1993 to June 1995, Wirth was founder, owner, and technical director of Simtek Grand Prix, a Formula One racing team that first appeared in the 1994 Formula One season. Simtek Research provided the team with engineering and design for the cars.
The team suffered the blow of the death of Roland Ratzenberger during qualifying for the San Marino Grand Prix. Simtek suffered a difficult first season and eventually pulled out of Formula One during the 1995 season which forced Simtek Research into bankruptcy.

## Benetton and projects outside Formula One

From 1996 until 1999 Wirth was chief designer and later a board member of the Benetton Formula One team.
In 1999 Wirth founded RoboScience, and created the RS-01 RoboDog in 2001.
In 2003 he founded Wirth Research.
In 2006 Wirth Research began working for the FIA in the Casumaro windtunnel in Italy on the split rear wing (CDG) design that the FIA proposed for the 2008 F1 season.
In 2007 Wirth Research became involved with the Acura LMP programme in the American Le Mans Series and was involved with designing the LMP1 class car for 2009 season. Wirth used computational fluid dynamics extensively to design the LMP1 class car.

## Virgin Racing

In 2009 Wirth Design teamed up with John Booth of Manor Motorsport to create a car for the 2010 Formula One season. Wirth was appointed the technical director of the team. Richard Branson's company Virgin became a title sponsor and the team was renamed Virgin Racing. The car that Wirth designed for use in the 2010 season, the Virgin VR-01, is the first Formula One racing car designed entirely with computational fluid dynamics with no use of traditional wind tunnels during the design or build process.
Wirth also designed Virgin's second F1 car, the MVR-02, but its performance proved to be disappointing as it failed to close the gap to the leaders relative to the VR-01. In June 2011, Virgin announced that it had parted company with Wirth and abandoned its policy of only using CFD.

An abbreviated version of these works in English, entitled "Within the Four Seas... Introduction to Comparative Philosophy" was published by Peeters Ed. (Leuven, 2007) This book explains how a comparative model, based on the paradigm-free axes of energy and information, accommodates the current world-views of Taoism, Buddhism and Rationalism – representing the Chinese, Indian and Western heritage - and shows how science and religion interrelate within such a global framework.
Prof. dr. Ulrich Libbrecht was an authority in the field of Eastern and Comparative philosophy. He studied sinology in Gent, graduated cum laude in 1972 at the University of Leiden (R.U. Leiden) and that same year became a professor in sinology, Chinese philosophy and buddhology at the University of Leuven.

# Matthew Smith (labor activist)

Matthew Smith (1893 - February 25, 1958) was a labor activist in England and the United States. In 1933, he helped found the Mechanics Educational Society of America (MESA), which he served as national secretary of the group from 1933 until his death in 1958. Though he resided in the United States from 1926 until his death, he refused to apply for the U.S. citizenship and instead saw himself as "...an internationalist, a citizen of the human race."
As a socialist and pacifist, he opposed involvement in both World War I and World War II.

## England

Smith was born in Oldham and worked in the English textile district of Lancashire. A skilled metalworker, he was part of the Shop Stewards Movement which opposed the production of munitions for the First World War. Opposed to the war, he went to jail for opposing the draft despite the exemption of men with his skill set having to fight. After participating in the failed 1926 general strike, Smith and his wife Dora emigrated to Canada in the same year. In 1928, they moved again to the United States, settling in Detroit.

## United States

In the United States, Smith resumed his radical pro-labor activities and eventually met socialist lawyer Maurice Sugar. Smith helped form the Mechanics Educational Society of America in February 1933 and Sugar served as its lead counsel during its initial strike in Flint, Michigan in September 1933. Founded among skilled tool and die workers in Detroit's automobile industry, MESA was known for class-conscious militant unionism which opposed the craft union-dominated American Federation of Labor.
In July 1938, the Smith-led MESA rejected an invitation to merge with the recently-organized Congress of Industrial Organizations, citing "fundamental differences in policy" while also arguing the CIO's established union in the auto-industry, United Autoworkers (UAW), was run by a "quasi-dictatorship." In 1942, he helped organize and was named chairman of the Confederated Unions of America, which sought to form a third labor federation which was opposed to both the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations. At the time of its founding, its membership included 35 unions or associations and 260,000 members.
Smith died in February 1958 in Miami Beach, Florida of a heart attack. His wife, Dora, had died three weeks prior.
