paragraph: David Bell VC (1845 – 7 March 1920) was born County Down, Ireland (exact date of birth is unknown). Bell was a recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

paragraph: He was approximately 22 years old, and a private in the 2nd Battalion, 24th Regiment of Foot (later The South Wales Borderers), British Army during the Andaman Islands Expedition when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC. The VC was not awarded for bravery in action against the enemy, but for bravery at sea in saving life in storm off Andaman Islands.

paragraph: On 7 May 1867 at the island of Little Andaman, eastern India, in the Bay of Bengal, Private Bell was one of a party of five (the others being James Cooper, Campbell Mellis Douglas, William Griffiths and Thomas Murphy) of the 2/24th Regiment, who risked their lives in manning a boat and proceeding through dangerous surf to rescue some of their comrades who had been sent to the island to find out the fate of the commander and seven of the crew, who had landed from the ship "Assam Valley" and were feared murdered by the cannibalistic islanders.

paragraph: The citation was gazetted on 17 December 1867:

paragraph: THE Queen has been graciously pleased to signify Her intention to confer the decoration of the Victoria Cross on the undermentioned Officer and Private Soldiers of Her Majesty's Army, whose claims to the same have been submitted for Her Majesty's approval, for their gallant conduct at the Little Andaman Island, as recorded against their names, viz. :—

paragraph: 2nd Battalion, 24th Regiment: Assistant-Surgeon Campbell Millis Douglas, M.D, Private Thomas Murphy, Private James Cooper, Private David Bell, Private William Griffiths.

paragraph: For the very gallant and daring manner in which, on the 7th of May, 1867, they risked their lives in manning a boat and proceeding through a dangerous surf to the rescue of some of their comrades, who formed part of an expedition which had been sent to the Island of Little Andaman, by order of the Chief Commissioner of British Burmah, with the view of ascertaining the fate of the Commander and seven of the crew of the ship " Assam Valley," who had landed there, and were supposed to have been murdered by the

paragraph: The officer who commanded the troops on the occasion reports : About an hour later in the day Dr. Douglas, 2nd Battalion, 24th

paragraph: ."Regiment, and the four Privates referred" to, gallantly manning the second gig, made their way through the surf almost to the shore, but finding their boat was half filled with water, they retired. A second attempt made by Dr. Douglas and party proved successful, five of us being safely passed through the surf to the boats outside. A third and last trip got the whole of the party left on shore safe to the boats. It is stated that Dr. Douglas accomplished these trips through the surf to the shore by no ordinary exertion. He stood in the bows of the boat, and worked her in an intrepid and seamanlike manner, cool to a degree, as

paragraph: Michael Sadleir

paragraph: Michael Sadleir (25 December 1888 – 13 December 1957), born Michael Thomas Harvey Sadler, was a British publisher, novelist, book collector, and bibliographer.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Michael Sadleir was born in Oxford, the son of Sir Michael Ernest Sadler and Mary Ann Harvey. He later adopted the older variant of his surname to differentiate himself from his father, a historian, educationist, and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Leeds. The name change was precipitated by the scandal that followed the publication of Sadleir's novel "Fanny by Gaslight", with some of the ensuing abuse being mistakenly directed at Sadleir's father.

paragraph: Sadleir was educated at Rugby School and was a contemporary of Rupert Brooke and Geoffrey Keynes. He then attended Balliol College, Oxford, where he read history and won the 1912 Stanhope prize. Before the First World War, Sadleir and his father were keen collectors of contemporary art, and purchased works by young English artists such as Stanley Spencer and Mark Gertler. They were amongst the first collectors (and certainly the first English collectors) of the paintings of the Russian-born German Expressionist artist Wassily Kandinsky. In 1913, both Sadleir and his father travelled to Germany to meet Kandinsky in Munich. This visit led to Sadleir translating into English Kandinsky's seminal written work on expressionism, "Concerning the Spiritual In Art" in 1914. This was one of the first coherent arguments for abstract art in the English language and its effects were profound. Extracts from it were published in the Vorticist literary magazine "BLAST" in 1914, and it had a major impact on the development of abstract art in Britain and North America right up until the 1960s. Sadleir's translation is still in print, and it remains one of the most commonly used versions of Kandinsky's book in the English language.

paragraph: Sadleir began to work for the publishing firm of Constable & Co. in 1912, becoming a director in 1920, and chairman in 1954. In 1920 as editor of "Bliss and Other Stories" by Katherine Mansfield for Constable he insisted on censoring sections of her short story "Je ne parle pas français" which show the cynical attitudes to love and sex of the narrator. Her husband John Middleton Murry persuaded Sadlier to reduce the cuts slightly (Murry and Sadleir had founded the avant-garde quarterly "Rhythm" in 1912)

paragraph: After the end of World War I, he served as a British delegate to the Paris Peace Conference, 1919, and worked at the secretariat of the newly formed League of Nations. As a literary historian, he specialized in 19th century English fiction, notably the work of Anthony Trollope. Together with Ian Fleming and others, Sadleir was a director and contributor to "The Book Handbook", later renamed "The Book Collector", published by Queen Anne Press. He also conducted research on Gothic fiction and discovered rare original editions of the Northanger Horrid Novels mentioned in the novel "Northanger Abbey" by Jane Austen. Beforehand, some of these books, with their lurid titles, were thought to be figments of Austen's imagination. Sadleir and Montague Summers demonstrated that they did really exist. He was President of the Bibliographical Society from 1944 to 1946.

paragraph: Sadleir's best known novel was "Fanny by Gaslight" (1940), a fictional exploration of prostitution in Victorian London. It was adapted under that name as a 1944 film. The 1947 novel "Forlorn Sunset" further explored the characters of the Victorian London underworld. His writings also include a biography of his father, published in 1949, and a privately published memoir of one of his sons, who was killed in World War II.

paragraph: The remarkable collection Victorian fiction compiled by Sadleir, now at the UCLA Department of Special Collections, is the subject of a catalogue published in 1951. His collection of Gothic fiction is at the University of Virginia Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library.

paragraph: Sadleir lived at Througham Court, Bisley, in Gloucestershire, a fine Jacobean farmhouse altered for him by the architect Norman Jewson, c. 1929.

paragraph: Joseph Epstein

paragraph: Joseph Epstein (October 16, 1911 – April 11, 1944 in Fort Mont-Valérien, France), also known as "Colonel Gilles" and as "Joseph Andrej", was a Polish-born Jewish communist activist and a French Resistance leader during World War II. He was executed by the Germans.

paragraph: Section::::Communist organizer.

paragraph: Joseph Epstein was born in Zamość, Congress Poland. He studied law at Warsaw University. There he became aware of the Communist Party of Poland, and later he joined it.

paragraph: In 1931, he was arrested by the police after speaking at a communist rally, but he was released after a few weeks. He fled to Czechoslovakia, where he sought asylum, but his plea was rejected. Epstein returned to Poland, only long enough to be deported by the authorities.

paragraph: In Tours (France), where he organized immigrant laborers, Epstein met and married Paula Grynfeld, a Jewish pharmacy student from the city of Łódź in Poland. When the French police were informed by the Polish consulate about his participation in the Communist Party, Epstein was arrested and forced to leave Tours. He and his wife traveled to Bordeaux, where they continued their studies. He organized students into a collective, and he was appointed to the regional committee of the French Communist Party.

paragraph: In 1933, they moved to Paris. The following year, Epstein passed his final examination, and he completed his law degree; however, he was barred from practicing law because he was not French.

paragraph: Section::::Armed struggle.

paragraph: In 1936, Epstein joined the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War and took part in the defence of Irun where he was severely wounded. In January 1938, he commanded the Romanian communists' artillery battery ""Tudor Vladimirescu"". On returning to France at the end of 1938, he was imprisoned at Gurs, a detention camp for political refugees and members of the International Brigades.

paragraph: In 1939, he entered the ranks of the Polish Army, but later resigned and joined the French Foreign Legion. In 1940, he was captured by the Germans and sent to the Stalag IVB prisoner-of-war camp. Epstein escaped from the camp and went to Switzerland, but was deported to Germany. He managed to obtain false papers on the name of Joseph Duffau and moved to Paris.

paragraph: Section::::With the French Resistance.

paragraph: In 1941, he began working with Francs-Tireurs et Partisans (FTP), a communist resistance group; by February 1943, he was an operation commander in the Paris region.

paragraph: He proposed a new guerrilla warfare tactic. Up till this point, the FTP had been operating in three-person cells: one person attacked and two provided covering fire for their escape. He proposed that the teams should have 10 to 15 fighters. Three or four would throw grenades or bombs, and the rest would cover their withdrawal.

paragraph: The FTP knew that a formation of Wehrmacht soldiers would take part in a parade in a street leading to place de l'Étoile. Epstein's group decided to attack with twelve men. Three of them would attack with grenades while the other nine would secure their withdrawal. Dozens of soldiers were killed or wounded but only one partisan was wounded. German officers reported that their soldiers were attacked by about a hundred guerillas.

paragraph: In late 1943, the FTP was betrayed, possibly by Joseph Davidovitch, who was a chief of personnel in Missak Manouchian's group. Davidovitch had been arrested by the Gestapo and then released. He claimed, however, that he had escaped.

paragraph: On October 16, 1943, Epstein was arrested in Évry-Petit-Bourg during a meeting with Manouchian. He was tortured in Fresnes prison and tried along with nineteen other members of the FTP and sentenced to death. He was executed by firing squad.

paragraph: Jean Baptiste Dieussart

paragraph: Jean Baptiste Dieussart, also "Jean Baptista Dusart" (c. 1630 – after c. 1683) was a Flemish sculptor who worked in the Dutch Republic and mainly in Sweden. He mainly created lead statues of which only a few have survived to modern times.

paragraph: Section::::Life and work.

paragraph: Dieussart may have been born in Rome (around 1630) and was the brother of the architect and sculptor Charles Philippe Dieussart. He first appears around 1664 in Stockholm (possibly coming from Germany), when he entered service with count Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie, the Lord High Chancellor of Sweden, who was his main employer and patron until around 1668. Coming to Sweden, he was accompanied by his wife (who died in Stockholm in 1668) and his stepchildren, including Abraham-César Lamoureux and his brother Claude, who were both sculptors, as well as their sister Magdalena, who later married the sculptor Johann Gustav Stockenberg.

paragraph: While Dieussart was a Baroque sculptor and one of the first representatives a free-standing style of sculpture in Sweden (some consider him Sweden's first modern sculptor), his work has been described as examples of a renaissance-like pseudo-classicism. His work consists mainly of statues, for which he used different materials, although the majority of his known works were made from lead or gilded lead. Possibly due to metal fatigue caused by the softness of the material, however, few of Dieussart's works survive.

paragraph: For Läckö Castle he is known to have created busts of various members of the De la Gardie family and is also believed to be the creator of two full sized statues of Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie and his father Jakob (originally created for Karlberg Palace, where Dieussart also created decorative sculptures for the palace gardens) that were later moved there.

paragraph: To decorate another palace owned by the De la Gardie family, namely Makalös palace, Dieussart created several lead statues, including a lead replica of a classical Diana statue. Probably assisted by his stepsons he created several sculptures to decorate the gardens and fountains of Jakobsdal (now Ulriksdal) Palace.

paragraph: In 1667 he was contracted by De la Gardie to create a number of lead sculptures for the roof of the Riddarhuset (which was completed by the architect Jean de la Vallée between 1660 and 1674), which he delivered in 1668, and he was commissioned to complete the northern and southern portals of the building that had been begun by , which he was still working on in 1669.

paragraph: His stepson Abraham-César replaced him as sculptor in De la Gardie's service between 1671 and 1672 and Dieussart is believed to have stayed in Sweden until around 1672, probably employed in his stepson's workshop, but then may have moved back to the Netherlands, appearing again in Swedish records in 1677, and returning to the Swedish mainland around 1679, probably returning to De la Gardie's service. What became of him after 1680 is unknown, as are the date and place of his death.

paragraph: Section::::Most important works.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Lead statues "Amor Dei" and "Amor Patriae" on the roof of the Riddarhuset.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Garden sculpture group "Perseus and Andromeda" in the park of Jakobsdal Palace (no longer existing).

paragraph: Section::::Most important works.:Attributed works.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Lead statues of Magnus Gabriel and Jakob De la Gardie, originally made for Karlberg Palace, then moved to Läckö Castle, but later relocated to the De la Gardie family mausoleum in Varnhem Abbey.

paragraph: Bernard the Lightsome

paragraph: Bernard the Lightsome (also known as of Lwówek) () (ca. 1253/57 – 25 April 1286) was a Duke of Lwówek (Löwenberg) since 1278 (with his brother until 1281) and Jawor (Jauer) during 1278–1281 (as a co-ruler of his brother).

paragraph: He was the third son of Bolesław II the Bald, Duke of Legnica by his first wife Hedwig, daughter of Henry I, Count of Anhalt. It is not known when exactly he was born but had to happen before 1258, because seven years later he was sent to Wroclaw by his father with the "Tithe" to the Bishop Thomas.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Bernard actively supported the policy of his father Bolesław II and his brothers, Henry V the Fat and Bolko I the Strict (for example, he participated in the victorious Battle of Stolec). After the death of his father in 1278, Henry V gave his younger brothers Bernard and Bolko I the Duchies of Lwówek ("Löwenberg") and Jawor as co-rulers. However, his independent rule began only three years later, in 1281, when he and Bolko made the division of their domains and Bernard received Lwówek. Little is known about this period in Bernard's life, and the only certain fact was (according to the chronicles), that he promoted and protected knights, a common practice among medieval princes. This also maybe justified thé nickname "Zwinny" (Lightsome, Clever) given to him by contemporary sources. Lwówek had a special gratitude to him after he supported the Silesian monastery of the Knights Hospitaller, where he was a generous benefactor, giving them among other things in 1281, the village of .

paragraph: Bernard died unmarried and childless in 1286. He was buried in the Dominican church in Legnica, and his lands were inherited by his brother Bolko.

paragraph: Ikuta Chōkō

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Ikuta was born in what is now part of the town of Hino, Tottori, and was educated at St Andrew’s School in Osaka, a school run by the Anglican Church in Japan. In 1898 he converted to Unitarianism. He moved to Tokyo the following year and was accepted into the First Higher School in 1900. He was accepted into the Department of Literature of Tokyo Imperial University in 1903. While in Tokyo, he became friends with Ueda Bin, who suggested his nickname. He graduated in 1906, and after returning briefly to Tottori to get married, moved into rooms provided by Yosano Tekkan and Yosano Akiko in Kojimachi, Tokyo where he taught as an English language instructor at a women’s college until 1909. This was also the start of his association with women’s literature, and his literary circle included Okamoto Kanoko, Yamakawa Kikue and Hiratsuka Raicho.

paragraph: In 1909, Ikuta began his translation of Friedrich Nietzsche’s "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" into Japanese, which was completed in 1911. The same year, he also assisted Hiratsuka in the publication of her literary magazine "Bluestocking". He continued to work on translation of Nietzsche from 1916 through 1929, eventually translating all of Nietzsche’s works into Japanese. he also translated Homer’s "Odyssey" in 1922.

paragraph: Also around this time, he began a correspondence with the socialist Toshihiko Sakai and the anarchist Sakae Ōsugi. This led to an interest in the works of Karl Marx, and he translated into Japanese in 1919. However, his flirtation with socialism was short-lived, and he had distanced himself from socialist ideals by 1923. His interest in anarchism lasted longer, and maintained a correspondence with Takamure Itsue for many years. He translated Dante’s "Divine comedy" in 1924.

paragraph: From 1925 to 1930 Ikuta moved to Yuigahama in Kamakura. At some point before this time, he contracted Hansen’s Disease. he left Kamakura before the physical effects of the disease became apparent, and lived in Shibuya, Tokyo until his dearth in 1936. His final work was a translation of Dumas’s "Camellia".

paragraph: Sultan al-Atrash

paragraph: Sultan al-Atrash, (March 5, 1888 – March 26, 1982) (), commonly known as Sultan Pasha al-Atrash () was a prominent Arab Druze leader, Syrian nationalist and Commander General of the Syrian Revolution (1925–27). He fought against the Ottomans, French, and even against the Syrian government in its days of dictatorship. One of the most influential figures in Syrian and Druze history, he played a major role in deciding the destiny of Jabal al-Druze and of Syria in general.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Sultan al-Atrash was born in al-Qrayya, a village 20 km south of Suwayda known for the famous Druze family of Al-Atrash, which had nominally governed the region since 1879. His father Zuqan led a fierce battle against the Ottomans near Al-Kefr in 1910, where he faced the forces of Sami Pasha al-Farouqi. He was captured and later executed in 1911. His son, Mansur al-Atrash was an active member in the Syrian Regional Branch of the Ba'ath Party until the 1966 Syrian coup d'état led to the downfall of Michel Aflaq, Salah al-Din al-Bitar, Munif al-Razzaz and the classical Ba'athists in general.

paragraph: His granddaughter, Naila Al Atrash, is a dramatist and activist against the Assad regime.

paragraph: Section::::Role in the Arab revolt.

paragraph: Sami Pasha used military force and trickery and succeeded at last in occupying Jabal el Druze. He sent hundreds of young Druze to fight in the Balkans, Sultan among them. However, during the first World War, the Ottomans left Jabal el Druze in peace as they feared rebellion. Sultan was then able to get in touch with Pan-Arab movements and especially with the Arab Revolt in Hijaz. As the revolt started he raised the Arab flag on the citadel of Salkhad and on his own house.

paragraph: When Arab forces reached Aqaba, he sent a thousand men to join the revolt. He joined them himself, with another 300 men, when they reached Bosra. His forces were the first to enter Damascus and raise the Arab revolt flag on the government house on September 29, 1918.

paragraph: Sultan was a good friend of the Hashemite Emir Faisal, leader of the Arab forces in the revolt, and was awarded the title of Emir and the rank of a General in the Syrian army, the equivalent of the title of Pasha. Faisal, later king of Iraq, helped Sultan a lot during his years in exile.

paragraph: The newly independent kingdom of Syria didn't survive for long, as it was occupied by France after the Battle of Maysalun on July 24, 1920. Sultan was gathering his men to fight the French but the quick succession of events cut his efforts short, as French forces entered Damascus and the country was divided into five states, Jabal el Druze being one of them.

paragraph: Section::::The Adham Khanjar incident.

paragraph: On July 7, 1922, French soldiers captured Adham Khanjar, a Lebanese Shiite rebel who was seeking refuge at Sultan's house while he was away. Khanjar was wanted for attempting to assassinate General Gouraud. Upon his arrival home, Sultan demanded the release of Khanjar, but the French refused. A few days later, Sultan and his men attacked a French convoy they thought to transport Khanjar, who was in fact sent to Damascus by airplane. The French responded by destroying his house and ordering his arrest. Sultan fled to Jordan and subsequently launched raids against French posts. Ten months later, he returned, having been pardoned by the French.

paragraph: Section::::The Syrian Revolution of 1925–27.

paragraph: In 1925 Sultan Pasha al-Atrash led a revolt which broke out in the Druze Mountain and spread to engulf the whole of Syria and parts of Lebanon. This is considered one of the most important revolutions against the French mandate, as it encompassed the whole of Syria and witnessed fierce battles between rebel and French forces.

paragraph: On August 23, 1925 Sultan Pasha al-Atrash officially declared revolution against France, and soon fighting erupted in Damascus, Homs and Hama. Al-Atrash won several battles against the French at the beginning of revolution, notably the Battle of al-Kafr on July 21, 1925, the Battle of al-Mazraa on August 2, 1925, and the battles of Salkhad, Msfirah and as-Suwayda. The Druze were defeated in the latter two battles. After rebel victories against France, it sent thousands of troops to Syria and Lebanon from Morocco and Senegal, equipped with modern weapons, compared to the few supplies of the rebels. This dramatically altered the results and allowed the French to regain many cities, although resistance lasted until the spring of 1927. The French sentenced Sultan al-Atrash to death, but he had escaped with the rebels to Transjordan and was eventually pardoned. He returned to Syria in 1937 after the signing of the Franco-Syrian Treaty. He was met with a huge public reception.

paragraph: Section::::Role after the revolution.

paragraph: Al-Atrash participated actively in the Levant Crisis, that led to Syrian independence. In 1948 he called for the establishment of a unified Arab Liberation Army of Palestine, for which hundreds of young people had already volunteered and sent to participate in during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.

paragraph: During the reign of Adib Shishakli, al-Atrash was often harassed because of his opposition to government policy. He left the Druze Mountain for Jordan in December 1954, and came back when Al-Shishakli's regime fell. Al-Atrash supported the political union of Egypt and Syria in 1958, and firmly opposed the process of separation in 1961. He is also known for his contributions to social life and development in the Druze Mountain.

paragraph: Section::::Popularity.

paragraph: Sultan Pasha al-Atrash, is one of the most popular of recently prominent leaders in Arab and Syrian history, especially among the Druze.

paragraph: Many statues of Al-Atrash exist in main squares on Druze Mountain, and his photos hang in many houses in the region. Al-Atrash is also prominent in local folklore, including many poems and popular songs. For several reasons the Druze consider him a symbol of patriotism, courage and secularism:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Al-Atrash is known for his secularism when he raised the slogan "Religion is for God, the fatherland is for all" ("Ad-dīn li-llāh wa-l-waṭan li-l-jamīˤ ") when he led the revolution against the French, which involved rebels belonging to many religions. His speeches and publications were entirely devoid of religious symbols.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Al-Atrash strongly rejected the French offer of independence for the Druze Mountain. He demanded a national Syrian unity.

paragraph: BULLET::::- He was known for simple living and humility.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Al-Atrash refused to accept any political office after the independence of Syria in 1946.

paragraph: During the period of Syrian-Egyptian unity, on a visit to the Suwayda province President Gamal Abdel Nasser honored Sultan Pasha al-Atrash by awarding him the highest medal of the United Arab Republic. In 1970, Syrian President Hafez al-Assad Honored Sultan Pasha al-Atrash for his historic role in the Syrian Revolution.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Sultan Pasha al-Atrash died on March 26, 1982 from a heart attack.

paragraph: His funeral was attended by more than a million people, and the President of Syrian Arab Republic Hafez al-Assad issued an individual letter mourning al-Atrash as the General Commander of the Syrian Revolution.

He spent a number of the subsequent years living in Shrewsbury, and in other areas of North Wales, before, in 1798 moving to Chester to work as an assistant in Misses Williams' (daughters of Richard Williams) drapery business. Whilst in Chester he initially attended the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist church, but later joined the Methodists at the Octagon, the Wesleyan Methodist chapel. Soon after, he began preaching as local preacher, before, in 1801 becoming an ordained Wesleyan Methodist minister, touring various circuits in Wales until 1815, when he began touring on circuits in England. In 1824 he left the ministry for a period, to run a grocery and tea-merchant business in the Leeds area. The worsening health of his wife influenced his decision to subsequently return to Wales, to continue with his grocery business in the Caernarvon area, and where he again served as a local preacher, until within a few weeks of his death.

paragraph: Sicknature is also a producer in the hip-hop producer group Snowgoons.

paragraph: Section::::Solo career beginning.

paragraph: Jesta quit making music, but Sicknature would continue on solo. In the late 90´s and early 00´s he was very active with touring (in Denmark) and recording demo projects. In 2004, he was signed to a label. In this connection, he and his childhood friend Jesta got back together to produce songs for the label´s compilation project. However, the label decided to release the songs as a Sicknature project. This explains why this project is not considered an actual Sicknature album.

Sicknature has worked with artists/groups like La Coka Nostra, ILL BILL, Vinnie Paz, Army Of The Pharaohs, Onyx, M.O.P., Ghostface Killah, Dope D.O.D., members from D12 and many others. He released the first official Sicknature album titled ”Honey Im Home” in 2007. The album was produced by Sicknature himself, Tue Track (Malk De Koijn) and heavy metal producer Jacob Hansen. This album sparked attention in the hip-hop underground around the world and the next year Sicknature started touring outside of Denmark. For a period of time, he was busy touring, producing for other artists, making guest appearances on various projects and joining production team Snowgoons.

paragraph: In 2013, Sicknature released a solo album titled "Nature Of The Contaminated" through the Snowgoons label Goon MuSick. It was produced by Sicknature himself, except for one song which was produced by Snowgoons and one song that was co-produced by guitarist Dennis Post.

paragraph: Mir-i Buzurg

paragraph: Qavam al-Din ibn Abdallah al-Marashi (), better known as Mir Buzurg or Mir Bozorg (, "Mīr-e Bozorg", lit. "The great Mir"), was the founder of the Marashi dynasty, ruling from 1359 to 1362.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Mir-i Buzurg belonged to a Sayyid family, he was the son of a certain Abdallah al-Marashi, who was the eponymous ancestor of the Marashi dynasty. Mir-i Buzurg, during his early life, lived in Dabudasht near Amol, which was then under Bavandid control. He studied religion and came into contact with Izz al-Din Sughandi, an influential sufi who was a pupil of Abd al-Razzaq ibn Fazlullah, the founder of the Sarbadars of Khorasan. Mir-i Buzurg later founded a Khanqah in Dabudasht and gained numerous followers. He also made a pilgrimage to the Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad.

paragraph: In 1359, the Bavand dynasty was put to an end by the Chulabi nobleman Kiya Afrasiyab who founded the Afrasiyab dynasty. However, the nobles of Mazandaran did not acknowledge his rule and viewed it as usurpation. Afrasiyab shortly tried to achieve stability by asking aid from Mir-i Buzurg. However, some of Mir-i Buzurg's dervishes later acted hostile to Afrasiyab, which made him imprison Mir-i Buzurg and many of his dervishes. However, the supporters of Mir-i Buzurg shortly revolted, and freed him from prison. In 1359, a battle between Afrasiyab and Mir-i Buzurg took place near Amol, where Afrasiyab was defeated and was killed together with his three sons.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.

paragraph: Mir-i Buzurg shortly conquered the territories of the Afrasiyab dynasty, and laid foundations to the Marashis. The following year Afrasiyab's son Fakhr al-Din Chulabi murdered one of the sons of Mir-i Buzurg, which resulted in a massacre of most of the Afrasiyabid family. Another son of Afrasiyab, Iskandar-i Shaykhi, managed to escape the massacre and flee to Khorasan.

paragraph: Mir-i Buzurg then turned against Jalali family which governed Sari. A battle shortly ensured between Mir-i Buzurg and the two Jalali nobles Vishtasp Jalali and Fakhr al-Din Jalali, where Mir-i Buzurg was victorious. With the help of former loyalists of Kiya Afrasiyab, Vishtasp killed a son of Mir-i Buzurg. Fakhr al-Din Jalali and his four children were shortly killed in a battle by Mir-i Buzurg, who shortly entered Sari. Vishtasp then fled from Sari and took refuge with his family in a fortress. However, Mir-i Buzurg shortly besieged the fortress, and managed to capture it. He then had Vishtasp and his seven sons executed. A son of Mir-i Buzurg, Kamal al-Din I, then married the daughter of Vishtasp. Mir-i Buzurg also began rebuilding Sari which was greatly damaged during his invasion of the city.

paragraph: All of Mazandaran was now united under the rule of Mir-i Buzurg, who wanted to spend the rest of his life in devoting himself to religion. In 1362 he gave his son Kamal al-Din I the city of Sari, while his other son Rida al-Din was given Amol. Mir-i Buzurg later died of illness in 1379, and was buried in Amol. In 1403, his tomb was destroyed by Iskandar-i Shaykhi, a son of Afrasiyab. However, after the death of Iskandar, the tomb of Mir-i Buzurg was rebuilt. During the reign of the Safavid Shah Abbas I, who was himself a descendant of Mir-i Buzurg from his mother's side, decorated his tomb with gold.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Mir-i Buzurg was famous for his charismatic behavior and tolerant rule. His descendants continued to rule in Mazandaran until it was annexed by the Safavid dynasty in 1596. Nevertheless, even after its fall, the Marashi family continued to play an important role in the politics of the Safavid dynasty, as it had before under Khayr al-Nisa Begum, who the mother of Shah Abbas I, and "de facto" ruler of the Safavid dynasty from February 1578 to July 1579.
