Baron Siméon Denis Poisson FRS FRSE was a French mathematician and physicist who made many scientific advances. Poisson was born in Pithiviers, Loiret district in France, the son of Siméon Poisson, an officer in the French army. In 1798, he entered the École Polytechnique in Paris as first in his year, began to attract the notice of the professors of the school, who left him free to make his own decisions as to what he would study. In 1800, less than two years after his entry, he published two memoirs, one on Étienne Bézout's method of elimination, the other on the number of integrals of a finite difference equation; the latter was examined by Sylvestre-François Lacroix and Adrien-Marie Legendre, who recommended that it should be published in the Recueil des savants étrangers, an unprecedented honor for a youth of eighteen. This success at once procured entry for Poisson into scientific circles. Joseph Louis Lagrange, whose lectures on the theory of functions he attended at the École Polytechnique, recognized his talent early on, became his friend.

Meanwhile, Pierre-Simon Laplace, in whose footsteps Poisson followed, regarded him as his son. The rest of his career, till his death in Sceaux near Paris, was nearly occupied by the composition and publication of his many works and in fulfilling the duties of the numerous educational positions to which he was successively appointed. After finishing his studies at the École Polytechnique, he was appointed répétiteur there, a position which he had occupied as an amateur while still a pupil in the school, he was made deputy professor in 1802, and, in 1806 full professor succeeding Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier, whom Napoleon had sent to Grenoble. In 1808 he became astronomer to the Bureau des Longitudes, he went on to become a member of the Institute in 1812, examiner at the military school at Saint-Cyr in 1815, graduation examiner at the École Polytechnique in 1816, councillor of the university in 1820, geometer to the Bureau des Longitudes succeeding Pierre-Simon Laplace in 1827. In 1817, he married Nancy de Bardi and with her, he had four children.

His father, whose early experiences had led him to hate aristocrats, bred him in the stern creed of the First Republic. Throughout the Revolution, the Empire, the following restoration, Poisson was not interested in politics, concentrating on mathematics, he was appointed to the dignity of baron in 1821. In March 1818, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, in 1822 a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, in 1823 a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences; the revolution of July 1830 threatened him with the loss of all his honours. After this, of course, his degradation was impossible, seven years he was made a peer of France, not for political reasons, but as a representative of French science; as a teacher of mathematics Poisson is said to have been extraordinarily successful, as might have been expected from his early promise as a répétiteur at the École Polytechnique. As a scientific worker, his productivity has if been equaled. Notwithstanding his many official duties, he found time to publish more than three hundred works, several of them extensive treatises, many of them memoirs dealing with the most abstruse branches of pure mathematics, applied mathematics, mathematical physics, rational mechanics.

A list of Poisson's works, drawn up by himself, is given at the end of Arago's biography. All, possible is a brief mention of the more important ones, it was in the application of mathematics to physics that his greatest services to science were performed. The most original, the most permanent in their influence, were his memoirs on the theory of electricity and magnetism, which created a new branch of mathematical physics. Next in importance stand the memoirs on celestial mechanics, in which he proved himself a worthy successor to Pierre-Simon Laplace; the most important of these are his memoirs Sur les inégalités séculaires des moyens mouvements des planètes, Sur la variation des constantes arbitraires dans les questions de mécanique, both published in the Journal of the École Polytechnique. In the first of these memoirs, Poisson discusses the famous question of the stability of the planetary orbits, settled by Lagrange to the first degree of approximation for the disturbing forces. Poisson showed that the result could be extended to a second approximation, thus made an important advance in planetary theory.

The memoir is remarkable inasmuch as it roused Lagrange, after an interval of inactivity, to compose in his old age one of the greatest of his memoirs, entitled Sur la théorie de

While breaking his relationship with Dynamo, he re-signed for the 2006 season, after the former Russia manager Yuri Syomin was appointed as the club's manager. On 31 March, when Bulykin was ready to come as a substitute against Saturn, Syomin shouted at him, "Take off the mittens!", a moment, televised live. Syomin said that he considers wearing gloves when the weather is mild to be a sign of unwillingness to work hard, while Bulykin himself took Syomin's shout as an emboldening, albeit a bit over the top one. Syomin was sacked mid season and under the next manager, Andrei Kobelev, Bulykin was placed on the transfer list, where he spent the end of 2006. Trying to resolve Bulykin's deadlock with Dynamo, its general manager, Dmitri Ivanov, stated that the club would release Bulykin with no transfer cost, should there be any interest from anyone.

Norbert Fabián Čapek was the founder of the modern Unitarian Church in the Czech Republic. Čapek was born into a Roman Catholic family on 3 June 1870, in Radomyšl, a village in Strakonice District in southern Bohemia. As a boy he soon became disillusioned with the church. At the age of 18 he was ordained a minister. Čapek traveled as a Baptist evangelist, from Saxony in the west to the Ukraine in the east. In Moravia he was influenced by the free Christianity and the Moravian Brotherhood, his religious convictions became progressively more liberal and anti-clerical, he edited a number of journals. His articles on topics ranging from psychology to politics attracted unfavorable attention from the German authorities, in 1914 he and his wife and their eight children fled to the United States. In the United States, Norbert became editor of a Czech language newspaper and served as pastor of the First Slovak Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey. Widowed shortly after his arrival in US, Čapek met and married another Czech expatriate, Mája Oktavec, in 1917.

She had been born in Chomutov in Western Bohemia in 1888 and moved to the U. S. at the age of 19. She was a graduate of the School of Library Science at Columbia University and worked in the New York Public Library. While in the United States, Čapek faced two heresy trials at the accusation of Slovak Baptist ministers, in attempts to expel him from the Baptist association. Pursuing an liberal religious perspective, Norbert resigned as a Baptist minister in 1919. Norbert and Maja discovered Unitarianism, in 1921 they joined the First Unitarian Church of Essex County. Together, they decided to bring Unitarianism back to their homeland, newly independent after World War I; the couple returned to Prague in 1921. The new Unitarian congregation they formed in Prague, called the Liberal Religious Fellowship and soon purchased a large building dubbed "Unitaria" at the foot of Charles Bridge; the early worship services consisted of lectures. The minister vestments; some members felt. In response, in June 1923 Čapek created the Flower Celebration: each member would bring a flower to the church, where it was placed in a large central vase.

At the end of the service, each would take home a different flower. This symbolized the uniqueness of each individual, the coming together in communion to share this uniqueness. Maja Capek was ordained as a minister in 1926. With financial help from the American Unitarian Association and the British and Foreign Unitarian Association and Maja acquired and renovated a medieval palace for a meeting space. In 1930 the Unitarian Church of Czechoslovakia was recognized by the Czech government. Although he was invited to return to the United States during World War II, Čapek chose to remain in Europe. In 1939 Maja went to the US to raise funds for relief efforts in Czechoslovakia. In March 1941, Norbert and his daughter were arrested by the Gestapo, who confiscated his books and sermons, he was charged with listening to foreign broadcasts and, after being held in Pankrác Prison, was taken in 1942 to the Dachau concentration camp, where he was imprisoned in the "Priesterblock". He was tortured and gassed late in 1942.

When news of his death reached the United States, the American Unitarian Association president, Fredrick May Eliot, wrote, "Another name is added to the list of heroic Unitarian martyrs, by whose death our freedom has been bought, Ours is now the responsibility to see to it that we stand fast in the liberty so gloriously won."The International Association for Religious Freedom placed a plaque in the camp in his memory.

The Buck Memorial Library is the public library of Bucksport, Maine. It is located at 47 Maine Street in the center of the town, in an architecturally distinguished Gothic Revival stone structure designed by George A. Clough and built in 1887; the building was a gift from the family of Richard Buck, a descendant of Bucksport founder Jonathan Buck, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. The library association in Bucksport was founded in 1806, operated for many years as a private subscription service, operated first out of private homes and out of a small leased space just off Maine Street; the need for larger and more permanent quarters in the 1880s prompted the drive that resulted in the construction of the present facilities. Richard Pike Buck, the grandson of Bucksport founder Jonathan Buck, promised funding for construction of a building and an endowment, but died before the gift was made, his wife and daughter saw through the donation. The building is a 1-1/2 story structure, fashioned out of rough-cut ashlar Blue Hill granite with dressed granite trim, covered with a gabled slate roof.

The building has an L-shaped plan, with a forward projecting gable end at the left, the entrance located under a porch in the crook of the L. The interior, which has retained all of its original finishes and woodwork, is laid out with the librarian's desk and office in the center, a reading room to the right, the stack area to the left; the building is one of four small-town Maine libraries designed by Boston architect George A. Clough, who summered in his native Blue Hill. National Register of Historic Places listings in Hancock County, Maine Buck Memorial Library web site
