Vitas

Vitaliy Vladasovich Grachov (, ; born 19 February 1979), known professionally as Vitas (, ), is a Ukrainian singer and songwriter. He sings mainly in Russian. His music is often difficult to categorize, incorporating elements of techno, dance, classical, jazz, and folk music. His 2000 song "Opera 2" was released as a single in 2001, and has been forwarded over email and on various social networks frequently, which accounts for much of his worldwide recognition.

Vitas designs his own stage costumes. DIVA (ДИВА) is the name of the band that accompanies Vitas during his concerts. He has achieved much notability through Russian television, and since 2005 his career has advanced into Asian markets. He has signed with entertainment labels such as Universal which distributes his music in Taiwan, and he has toured extensively in China and several other countries. He has performed duets with many other singers including Demis Roussos, Lucio Dalla, and his own grandfather, with whom he sings "Friendship".

Vitas (bishop)

The Blessed Vitas, O.P., or Wit (died ca. 1269) was a Polish Dominican friar and the first bishop in Lithuania (1253–1255).

Little is known about his origins, early career or his episcopal work. It is likely that he was a student of the first Polish Dominican, Hyacinth of Poland.

Following the conversion to Christianity and coronation of King Mindaugas during the summer of 1253, there was some delay in appointing a bishop for the Grand Duchy of Lithuania due to political intrigues. In October or November 1253, Pełka, Bishop of Gniezno, consecrated Wit and tasked him with the conversion of the Lithuanian people. However, he was not recognized by Mindaugas or accepted by the populace and his activities in Lithuania are unknown, although he is sometimes associated with Mindaugas' Cathedral.

In 1254, the priest Christian , a member of the Livonian Order, was appointed bishop and recognised by King Mindaugas with the grant of lands in Samogitia. In 1254, Vitas wrote to Pope Innocent IV about the deplorable conditions of Christians in Lithuania and asked for a transfer. On March 1, 1255, Pope Alexander IV granted Vitas' petition.

After leaving Lithuania, the Pope appointed Vitas as an auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Wroclaw, where he served till about 1260, when he was made auxiliary bishop in the Diocese of Poznan, at least until 1263. Historian Jan Kurczewski believes that Vitas established a Dominican church and monastery in the city of Lubcha, in present-day Belarus.

Vitas is venerated as a " blessed" of the Order and there have been suggestions that he was martyred.

This includes encryption software, battery chargers, device adaptors, Bluetooth-enabled devices for the consumer, business and government markets. United States Patent and Trademark Office contains several design and utility patent records covering Callpod's inventions.United States Patent and Trademark Office

Co-founded in 2001 by Darren Guccione and Craig Lurey, Callpod was created to pursue patents in mobile conferencing. In October 2004, Callpod received its first U.S. utility patent—the first of its kind in the new category of mobile conferencing.

The company's first product, which launched in 2007, is a six-way mobile device charger called the Chargepod. Following the Chargepod, Callpod's product catalog grew to include a line of bluetooth headsets designed for mobile conferencing, such as the Phoenix, Dragon, Onyx and Vetro. These products were the first of their kind to include multiplex chipsets, allowing for the transmission of multiple voice signals within the devices. Callpod's engineering team worked on several other products devised by Guccione and Lurey, creating an extensive portfolio of technology patents. Callpod shares its engineering innovations by allowing product developers to license its patents for continued advancements.

In 2009, the company ventured into the arena of software through its creation of Keeper Password and Data Vault, an application designed to encrypt people's sensitive and personal information in mobile devices and computers. Since its release, Keeper has been a top downloaded app on mobile devices around the world (millions of downloads) and has been developed on every major mobile platform and operating system. The program offers secure cloud backup, restore and device sync features.

In late 2011, Callpod created a wholly owned subsidiary called Keeper Security, Inc., to differentiate and separately market its mobile device products and software.
