paragraph: John Treacy

paragraph: John Treacy (born 4 June 1957 in Villierstown, County Waterford) is an Irish Olympian and former athlete, now a sporting administrator.

paragraph: Section::::Athletic career.

paragraph: Treacy attended St Anne's Post-Primary School in Cappoquin, County Waterford, Ireland, running more than seven miles to school every morning. He graduated from Providence College in the United States. In 1978 and 1979 he won the IAAF World Cross Country Championships in Glasgow, Scotland and Limerick, Ireland respectively.

paragraph: At the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles he won a silver medal in the marathon, placing Ireland 33rd on the medals table.

paragraph: Treacy was known as a tenacious runner who did not have an especially sharp final kick in track races. In the 1978 European Athletics Championships in Prague, he placed 11th in the fast 10,000-metre race and fourth in the slow and tactical 5,000-metre race, losing to Italy's Venanzio Ortis by just three tenths of a second. In the 5,000-metre final, he lingered behind Great Britain's Nick Rose on the final back straight just after Rose had dropped from the lead group.

paragraph: In the 1983 World Athletics Championships in Helsinki, Finland, Treacy was eliminated in the 10,000-metre heats.

paragraph: In the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, he placed ninth in the 10,000-metre final before crowning his athletics career with a silver medal in the men's marathon. Winner Carlos Lopes of Portugal was largely unchallenged for much of the race, with Treacy down the field until entering the top six around the 20-kilometre mark. Treacy continued to work his way up the rankings until entering the Los Angeles Coliseum stadium just behind second-placed British athlete Charlie Spedding. Treacy overtook Spedding with 150m to go, during which the Irish television commentary of Jimmy Magee listed the previous Irish Olympic medal winners up to that time, before culminating: "And for the 13th time, an Olympic medal goes to John Treacy from Villierstown in Waterford, the little man with the big heart."

paragraph: After the Los Angeles Olympics, Treacy ran competitively until 1995, retiring following a road race held in his honour in Waterford, attended by the other two medalists from the 1984 Olympic marathon, Carlos Lopes and Charlie Spedding. While he did not win any more major international championships medals, Treacy did win the 1992 Los Angeles Marathon. At the 1986 European Athletics Championships in Stuttgart, he placed sixth in the 10,000-metre race. In the 1987 World Athletics Championships in Rome, he placed twenty-sixth in the 10,000-metre race and thirteenth in the 5,000-metre final. He failed to finish the marathon at the 1988 Seoul Olympics and placed 51st in his final Olympic games in Barcelona in 1992. He won the 1993 Dublin Marathon.

paragraph: Section::::Post-running career.

paragraph: Treacy is currently chief executive of the Irish Sports Council. He is married to Fionnuala and they have four children: Caoimhe, Deirdre, Sean, and Conor.

paragraph: Ukita Kōkichi

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Ukita was born in 1757 during the Edo period in Hachihama, Kojima District, Bizen Province (now Hachihama, Tamano, Okayama) as the second son of Ukita (Sakuraya) Seibei (). His father became sick when Ukita was seven years old. After his father's death he went to Okayama city and became an apprentice of Hyōgu-shi, paperhanger (maker of Shōji, Fusuma).

paragraph: Ukita was interested in how birds fly, so he decided to pursue research in the area. From his research, he concluded that "Computing the ratio of the wing's surface area to the body's weight and using that ratio to create an artificial wing for a human, then a human, too, will be able to fly like a bird."

paragraph: His skill of paperhanging was very useful for making wings. He made the wings' delicate ribs from bamboo, covered them with paper and fabric, and varnished the surface with lacquer from Japanese persimmons. After discarding many prototypes, Ukita tried flying from a bridge over Asahigawa-river () in the summer of 1785. Some references say that he glided several meters, but others say that he just fell. Immediately Ukita was arrested by Okayama Domain-certified-samurais, and Lord Ikeda Harumasa () exiled Ukita from Okayama Domain. In other accounts, such as Kan-sa-zan (), who was a contemporary scholar/poet referred to this event in his writing.

paragraph: After his attempt, Ukita moved to Sunpu (), Suruga province (now Shizuoka, Shizuoka) and opened a cotton shop under the name Bizen'ya Kōkichi. Once the business was established, he turned it over to his nephew and became a dental technician under the name Binkōsai. His excellent dentures established his reputation.

paragraph: Not much is known about his later years, but there are two opinions. One is that Ukita flew again at Sunpu and was executed for a crime of rioting. Another is that Ukita moved to Mitsuke (), Tōtōmi Province(now Iwata, Shizuoka), where he quietly spent the rest of his life with wife and children and died peacefully in 1847 at age 92.

paragraph: His tomb is in the Daiken-ji Temple (), Iwata, Shizuoka Prefecture. His posthumous name (Buddhist name) is .

paragraph: Incidentally, Lord Ikeda's descendant Ikeda Takamasa () cancelled the exile punishment in 1997.

paragraph: Knight Leontiy Vassilievich Spafaryev (; 19 March 1765 – 30 January 1847) was a Lieutenant General of the Imperial Russian Navy. Spafaryev was Director of Lighthouses in the Gulf of Finland and cartographer of the Russian Admiralty.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Spafariev was an important contributor to the improvement of navigation along the Russian coasts. The first lighthouses in Russia were built during tsar Peter the Great's drive for reform and modernization at the beginning of the 18th century. However, it was only in 1807, when the Russian Lighthouse Administration was created under the Russian Hydrographic Service, that the Russian lighthouse system followed an organized pattern, becoming effective and efficient. This office was established by the Russian Navy and it began under the leadership of Leontiy V. Spafaryev. In 1820, Spafariev published his essay "Description of the lighthouses of Finland and Gulf of Riga", a highly valued work by hydrographers.

paragraph: As a cartographer, perhaps his most outstanding work is the "Atlas of the Gulf of Finland", published in 1817. His name is spelt as "Spafarief" or "Spafarieff" in the United States.

paragraph: Section::::Honours.

paragraph: The Spafaryev Islands in the Sea of Okhotsk and Spafarief Bay in the coast of Alaska were named after Leontiy V. Spafaryev.

paragraph: Gordon Coventry

paragraph: Gordon Richard Coventry (25 September 1901 – 7 November 1968) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Collingwood Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL). Accorded "Legend" status in the Australian Football Hall of Fame, Coventry was the first player to kick 100 goals in a season and over 1000 goals overall, with his career total of 1299 goals serving as a league record for over 60 seasons.

paragraph: Originally from Diamond Creek, Victoria, Coventry played his early football for the Diamond Creek Football Club in the Heidelberg District Football League (HDFL). He debuted for Collingwood in 1920, and was joined by his brother, Syd Coventry, at the club two years later. Playing almost exclusively at full-forward, Coventry first led Collingwood's goalkicking in 1922, and would go on to lead the club's goalkicking for 16 consecutive seasons, until his retirement in 1937. He also led the VFL's goalkicking on six occasions: each year from 1926 to 1930, and then again in his final season. In 1929, Coventry kicked 124 goals for the season, becoming the first player in the league to kick over 100 goals in a season, a feat which he would replicate in 1930, 1933, and 1934. Considered the leading forward in the competition in the late 1920s and early 1930s, Coventry played a key part in Collingwood's four consecutive premierships from 1927 to 1930, each captained by his brother. He also went on to win the Copeland Trophy as Collingwood's best and fairest player in 1933. At his retirement at the end of the 1937 season, Coventry held the records for the most career games played and the most career goals kicked, finishing with 1299 goals from 306 games, and thus also becoming the first player to play 300 games. An inaugural inductee into the Australian Football Hall of Fame, and a member of Collingwood's Team of the Century, his career goalkicking record was not broken until 1999, when it was surpassed by Tony Lockett. He is often considered by fans and journalists to be amongst the greatest forward-line players of all time.

paragraph: Born in Diamond Creek, Victoria, Coventry was the eighth child of Victorian-born parents Henry Coventry and Jane Henrietta. Gordon, or "Nuts" as he was known by his family due to a disproportionately large head as a child, attended Diamond Creek Primary School.

paragraph: Section::::Junior football.

paragraph: He played his early football for Diamond Creek Football Club in the Heidelberg District Football League as well as working for his father's orchard. While playing in the local league he established himself as a champion centre-half-forward before being asked to train at Collingwood by club officials in 1920.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career at Collingwood.

paragraph: Later that year, Coventry was selected to play his first senior game for Collingwood against St Kilda. He did not make an immediate impact and at times looked clumsy, but did enough to ensure he kept his spot after two valuable seasons. His brother, Syd Coventry was also be welcomed at the club, in 1922. Gordon had kicked 32 goals in those first two seasons, but played in his prime position in the losing grand final side of 1920 where he kicked more than half of Collingwood's score. In 1922 Coventry moved closer to goals and as the team continued its dominance, Coventry became a focal point, and in 1923 would win the club's goal kicking with 42 goals. Coventry did not possess the phenomenal skills of his predecessor Dick Lee or the aerial prowess of his successor Ron Todd, but relied on tremendous strength and a vice-like grip when marking the ball, a combination that made him almost unstoppable once he had front position.

paragraph: By 1923 Coventry was one of the most consistent full forwards in the league and would remain the club's leading goal kicker for the next five seasons, as well as playing in three losing grand final sides. In 1926 he would win his first league leading goal kicking title with 83 goals. When his brother became captain of the side in 1927, success came to the club in more ways than ever achieved. Coventry played in the four consecutive premierships between 1927 and 1930, and in the same years would continue his league dominance, being the finest goal kicker in the league. In the 1928 Grand Final he kicked 9 goals, a league record, and in 1929 he became the first player to kick 100 goals in a season, where he kicked 124 goals, a feat he followed up in 1930 with 118 which included a personal best bag of 17 goals against Fitzroy. Coventry would continue being Collingwood's leading goal kicker during the years 1931–1934, and would win his first and only, Copeland Trophy in 1933, where he kicked another 108 goals for the season.

paragraph: In 1935 Coventry played in his fifth premiership, kicking four goals to get his side across the line. He would, however, miss the 1936 VFL Grand Final due to suspension, where he was found guilty of striking Richmond defender Joe Murdoch. Coventry played the match against the Tigers with a crop of painful boils on his neck, and when Murdoch repeatedly struck his neck, Coventry retaliated and was subsequently suspended for eight matches. It was his first report in 280 appearances for the Magpies. Nevertheless, Collingwood went on to win the premiership without their champion full forward. Coventry retired after the 1937 season, winning his sixth league leading goal kicker award, and his 16th consecutive club leading goal kicker award. Coventry also represented Victoria on 25 occasions for a total of 100 goals.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: After leaving Collingwood, Coventry coached Collegians in the VAFA for a number of years. Coventry kicked 1299 goals in VFL football, a record that stood for more than six decades. He was also the first player to play 300 VFL/AFL games.

paragraph: In 1996, Coventry was an inaugural inductee of the Australian Football Hall of Fame and was elevated to "Legend" status two years later. In 1998 he was named at full forward in Collingwood's team of the century. The Gordon Coventry Trophy is awarded to Collingwood's leading goal kicker each year. The southern end of the Docklands Stadium is named the "Coventry end". When the Southern Stand at the MCG was built, a gate/entrance was jointly named after Coventry and brother Syd. In 2009, "The Australian" nominated Coventry as one of the 25 greatest footballers never to win a Brownlow Medal.

paragraph: Coventry died in 1968 of heart disease at his property in Diamond Creek, survived by his wife and four children.

paragraph: Jože Plečnik

paragraph: Jože Plečnik () (23 January 1872 - 7 January 1957) was a Slovene architect who had a major impact on the modern architecture of Vienna, Prague and of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, most notably by designing the iconic Triple Bridge and the Slovene National and University Library building, as well as the embankments along the Ljubljanica River, the Ljubljana open market buildings, the Ljubljana cemetery, parks, plazas etc. His architectural imprint on Ljubljana has been compared to the impact Antoni Gaudí had on Barcelona.

paragraph: His style is associated with the Vienna Secession style of architecture (a type of Art Nouveau). Besides in Ljubljana, he worked in Vienna, Belgrade and on the Prague Castle. He influenced the avant-garde Czech Cubism. He is also a founding member of the Ljubljana School of Architecture, joining it upon an invitation by Ivan Vurnik, another notable Ljubljana architect.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Plečnik was born in Ljubljana, Carniola, Austria-Hungary, present-day Slovenia, the son of Helena (Molka) and Andrej Plečnik. He studied with noted Viennese architect and educator Otto Wagner and worked in Wagner's architecture office until 1900.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: From 1900 through 1910, while practicing in the Wagner's office in Vienna, he designed the Langer House (1900) and the Zacherlhaus (1903–1905).

paragraph: His 1910–1913 "Church of the Holy Spirit" () is remarkable for its innovative use of poured-in-place concrete as both structure and exterior surface, and also for its abstracted classical form language. Most radical is the church's crypt, with its slender concrete columns and angular, cubist capitals and bases.

paragraph: In 1911, Plečnik moved to Prague, where he taught at the college of arts and crafts. The first president of the new Czechoslovak Republic from 1918 onwards, Tomáš Masaryk, appointed Plečnik chief architect for the 1920 renovation of the Prague Castle. From 1920 until 1934 Plečnik completed a wide range of projects at the castle, including renovation of gardens and courtyards, the design and installation of monuments and sculptures, and the design of numerous new interior spaces, including the Plečnik Hall completed in 1930, which features three levels of abstracted Doric colonnades. His final work in Prague was the distinctive modernist Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord (Roman Catholic, 1929–32).

paragraph: Upon the 1921 establishment of the Ljubljana School of Architecture in his hometown of Ljubljana, he was invited by the fellow Slovene architect Ivan Vurnik to become a founding faculty member and moved to teach architecture at the University of Ljubljana. Plečnik would remain in Ljubljana until his death, and it is there that his influence as an architect is most noticeable.

paragraph: Section::::Work.:Giving the city of Ljubljana its modern identity.

paragraph: Plečnik gave the capital of Slovenia, the city of Ljubljana, its modern identity by designing iconic buildings such as the Slovene National and University Library building. He also designed other notable buildings, including the Vzajemna Insurance Company Offices, and contributed to many civic improvements. He renovated the city's bridges and the Ljubljanica River banks, and designed the Ljubljana open market buildings, the Ljubljana cemetery, parks, plazas etc. Buildings designed by Plečnik were built by the constructor Matko Curk.

paragraph: During the Communist period of Slovene history Plečnik fell out of favor as a Catholic and his teaching role at the university was gradually reduced because he was over 70 years old. In 1947, at the invitation of the president of the Slovene People’s Assembly to design a new Parliament building, Plečnik proposed the Cathedral of Freedom (also known as the Plečnik Parliament) where he wanted to raze the Ljubljana Castle and in its stead build a monumental octagonal building. In 1952, Ljubljana city leaders asked Plečnik to remodel the Križanke monastery into a venue for the Ljubljana Festival, his last big Ljubljana project. Other projects he completed at that time included the renovation of the Prešeren Theater, plus the Plečnik Arcades, stairway and fountain, all in Kranj, the reconstruction of churches, the design of the Pavilion on Brijuni Islands (Tito's summer state residence), and numerous National Liberation War monuments (in Ljubljana-Trnovo, Vipava, Radeče, Črna na Koroškem, Dolenja vas, Sevnica, Laško, Split, Kraljevo, etc.). For his work he twice received the Prešeren Award, in 1949 and 1952 for his life's work. Plečnik died in 1957 and received an official state funeral in Žale, attended by many political, cultural and church leaders.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: In the 1980s, with postmodernist interest in Plečnik's work, the general interest in him has been revived, as well, after being forgotten during the 1960s and 1970s. Since then, Plečnik's legacy has been commemorated in various ways, most notably in the 1990s on the Slovene 500 tolar banknote, with the National and University Library of Slovenia depicted on the reverse.

paragraph: The unrealized Cathedral of Freedom designed by Plečnik is featured on the Slovene 10 cent euro coin. "Slovenska akropola" is the title of a 1987 album by the Slovene industrial music group Laibach. During August 2008, a maquette of the Parliament was featured at the "Project Plečnik" exhibition on the architect's life, held at the Council of the European Union building in Brussels, Belgium on the occasion of the Slovene EU Presidency. The exhibition's curator Boris Podrecca described the Parliament as "the most charismatic object" of Plečnik's opus.

paragraph: In addition, on 23 January 2012, to celebrate the 140th anniversary of Plečnik's birth, a picture of the Triple Bridge was featured as the official Google logo (Doodle) adaptation in Slovenia.

paragraph: Plečnik's home in Ljubljana houses a museum of his life and work.

paragraph: There are several busts and sculptures of him situated around the national capital (Ljubljana) as a tourist attractions or as proud reminders of his works and legacy.

paragraph: Charlotte Moore Sitterly

paragraph: Charlotte Emma Moore Sitterly (September 24, 1898 – March 3, 1990) was an American astronomer. She is known for her extensive spectroscopic studies of the Sun and chemical elements. Her tables of data are known for their reliability and still used regularly.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Charlotte Moore was born to George W. and Elizabeth Walton Moore in Ercildoun, Pennsylvania, a small village near Coatesville. Her father was the Superintendent of Schools for Chester County and her mother was a schoolteacher. Her parents were Quakers and Charlotte was a lifelong member of Fallowfield Friends Meeting.

paragraph: She attended Swarthmore College, where she participated in many extracurricular activities such as ice hockey, student government, glee club, and tutoring. In order to pay her tuition, Moore was a substitute teacher. She graduated from Swarthmore in 1920 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics and went on to Princeton to work as a human computer.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: On the recommendation of her mathematics professor at Swarthmore, Moore obtained a job at the Princeton University Observatory working for Professor Henry Norris Russell as a human computer carrying out calculations needed to use photographic plates in determining the position of the Moon. Over time, while working for Russell, Moore's interest in astrophysics began to blossom. Russell and Moore researched binary stars and stellar mass, and published extensively on the subject over the years of their collaboration. Her research included an effort to classify 2500 stars based on their spectra.

paragraph: After five years at Princeton, as part of an ongoing collaboration between Russell and research groups there, she moved to the Mount Wilson Observatory where she worked extensively on solar spectroscopy, analyzing the spectral lines of the Sun and thereby identifying the chemical elements in the Sun. With her collaborators, she analyzed the spectra of sunspots. Her pictures from the Mount Wilson Observatory helped redetermine the new International Angstrom scale. She earned a Ph.D. in astronomy in 1931 from the University of California, Berkeley on a Lick Fellowship; she was not able to study at Princeton because they did not accept women - and would not for the next 30 years. While working on her Ph.D, she continued researching spectroscopy and collected and analyzed data about the spectra of chemical elements and molecules. After obtaining her Ph.D, she returned to Princeton to continue work with Russell as a research assistant.

paragraph: One of her most significant contributions to physics was her identification of technetium in sunlight, the first example of technetium naturally existing. She joined the then National Bureau of Standards (NBS) in 1945. Her tables of atomic spectra and energy levels, published by NBS, have remained essential references in spectroscopy for decades. While there, she began to research the infrared solar spectrum and atomic energy levels. Later in her life, it became possible to launch instruments on rockets and she extended her work to the ultraviolet spectral lines.

paragraph: In 1949 she became the first woman elected as an associate of the Royal Astronomical Society of Great Britain, in honor of her work on multiplet tablets and in identifying solar spot electra. Throughout her career she authored and co-authored over 100 papers and attended the tenth general assembly of the International Astronomical Union on the Joint Commission on Spectroscopy in Moscow in 1958. Sitterly retired from her position at the NBS when she turned 70, in 1968, but continued her research at the Naval Research Laboratory. Sitterly was honored by the Journal of the Optical Society of America by a commemorative issue in 1988.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: During her second stay at Princeton, she met and married, on May 30, 1937, Bancroft W. Sitterly, who became a physics professor. She continued to publish journals under her maiden name because most of her recognition was under that name. She believed that traveling is one of the most important aspects of a scientist's life, as it promotes collaboration between scientists. She enjoyed gardening, traveling, and music with her husband until his death in 1977. She continued her research until her death from heart failure at the age of 91.

paragraph: Ichikawa Danjūrō II

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: The earnestly prayed-for son of Ichikawa Danjūrō I, Danjūrō II acted under the name Ichikawa Kuzō I from 1697 to 1704, the year his father was killed in a backstage quarrel with another actor. Danjūrō II assumed his father's stage name five months after this incident and held it until 1735, when he took the name Ichikawa Ebizō II. Thereafter, the name was handed down in a direct line through the generations, e.g., Danjūrō III and Danjuro IV were the adopted sons of Danjūrō II; Danjūrō VI was the adopted son of Danjūrō V, and Danjūrō VII was the adopted son of Danjūrō VI.

paragraph: In the conservative Kabuki world, stage names are conveyed in formal system which converts the kabuki stage name into a mark of accomplishment. In 1840, Danjūrō IV created "Kabuki Jūhachiban" to remind the theater world of his family's pre-eminence in Kabuki, especially in the creation and development of "aragoto" roles. This collection of 18 plays is a compilation of his and his predecessors representative roles. The work features the character Benkei, who was played by Danjūrō I and Danjūrō II. This is the "ie no gei" (family art) of the Danjuro line.

paragraph: Chris Eskola

paragraph: Chris Eskola (born February 23, 1976) is musician from Boston, Massachusetts, locally known as a bassist who has performed with a number of hard rock, metal, punk, and experimental bands in the Boston area. Chris briefly attended Berklee in the late 1990s, and plays trombone in addition to the bass. He is currently the bassist for Matalon (with brothers Scott Matalon on guitar, and Craig Matalon on the drums) and Face of the Sun (with Brian Viglione of The Dresden Dolls, Ron Arra Jr. and Scott Matalon.)

paragraph: Section::::Early musical roots.

paragraph: Eskola was born in Waltham, Massachusetts, but grew up in Westbrook, Connecticut. He started playing trombone at the age of 12 and eventually became the section leader of his high school's concert band and jazz/rock ensemble. At 14, a few of Chris' classmates had started a metal band and needed a bassist. Chris asked his father for a bass and an amp for Christmas and got his wish. This band became known as Glass Eyed Smash. and Chris was their bassist through high school. Chris also played for about a year with a local grunge band by the colorful name of Kermit Bloomgarden.

paragraph: Section::::Berklee, Chris Opperman, Choke Puppy.

paragraph: Chris graduated from high school in June 1995. That fall, he moved to Boston to attend Berklee College of Music where he studied "Music Business/Management" and "Film Scoring", while improving his abilities on bass guitar and trombone. While at Berklee, Chris would perform with fellow Berklee musician Chris Opperman and played trombone on his debut album "" (1998), which was produced by former Frank Zappa guitarist, and current guitarist for Dethklok, Mike Keneally. In his personal blog, Keneally quipped, "I am happy to claim responsibility for making Chris Eskola overdub three trombones on the last repeat of the melody—I love that texture to death. Since I have yet to work with horns on my own albums, it was great fun to mess around with them on this album." Chris joined this project on stage for about a dozen shows around the Boston area, including one at the Boston ICA and an appearance in San Diego at Nonkerstock, which was fan created fanfest for Mike Keneally, culminating in an epic performance by his band, Beer for Dolphins.

paragraph: While at Berklee, Chris would also play trombone with punk/ska/hardcore band Choke Puppy on their album "Don't Stop Now" and later go on to perform a number of shows with them on bass, including a spot on the Vans' Warped Tour in 1998.

paragraph: Since leaving Berklee in 1999, Chris has been a stalwart in the local Boston music scene.

paragraph: Section::::Pivot, Alchemilla, Pipe.

paragraph: Soon after college, Choke Puppy quickly disbanded due to turmoil within the band and Opperman relocated to Los Angeles, leaving Chris in search of a new musical project. In 2000, he teamed up with a local industrial metal project known as Pivot, who had been long searching for a bassist, and whom Chris had been friends with since Berklee. Pivot would play numerous shows around the Boston area, playing with local metal bands such as death metal band Kevorkian, female-fronted power metal band Mancain, and digital hardcore act Dummyplug Conspiracy. In 2000, Pivot released a seven-song EP titled "Natural Selection", featuring two remixes by Dummyplug Conspiracy and local DJ, Technology Scum. In 2002, in somewhat of a double "deja vu" situation, Pivot disbanded, also due to inner turmoil; and drummer Pete Pace and Singer/programmer Hal Berkstresser moveed to Los Angeles. Pace eventually joined Los Angeles dark wave pioneers London After Midnight and Hal became bassist for the LA power metal band, Devolved.

paragraph: Eager to be on stage, Chris spent the next few years playing with the female-fronted alternative rockers Alchemilla; and Central Massachusetts' hard rock powerhouse Pipe. Chris didn't record with Alchemilla, but released a three-song EP titled "The Lost EP" with Pipe.

paragraph: Section::::The Newtz.

paragraph: In 2005, while rocking out around the Boston and Central Massachusetts area with Pipe, Chris became friends with Ron Arra Jr., who was at the time screaming through a kid's toy megaphone for the local experimental psyco-metal ward escapees, My First Handgun, and decided that they both had similar tastes in music, and a hunger to play music on their own terms, without the stresses of conforming to a particular style. With that, Ron would pick up a guitar and they would start writing. The unique sound (described best as "experimental sludge-metal meets 90s alternative meets old school Metallica/Megadeth") that developed quickly developed its own identity, and they decided it was time to find a drummer. One day while getting a sandwich at a local bagel shop, Ron and Chris met Dave Coniglio, who was also playing drums for a local jazz/funk project known as Greesome, and found that he was looking to play some heavier music, and also just wanted to play the way he wanted. They invited him over to jam and immediately knew that it was a match, and the Newtz were born.

paragraph: About a year after the Newtz' inception, Coniglio decided to leave the band to relocate to Portland, Oregon, and the Newtz, soon thereafter, drafted Kyle "Thor" Rasmussen (Current Drummer for Whitey and Phantom Glue). Thor's love of powerful sludge, doom, and thrash (As well as his massive height and wingspan) was just the fuel the Newtz needed to attack the ears of its listeners around Massachusetts while sharing the stage with bands like We're All Gonna Die, Clouds, Black Pyramid, Muss, and The Proselyte. In August 2007, at a performance in the front room of the Paradise Rock Club, Arra's good friend, Dave Hughes (who was, at the time, the touring sound engineer for The Dresden Dolls), brought along Dolls' drummer, Brian Viglione, and he and Ron became good friends. This friendship eventually evolved into the project Face of the Sun. Arra and Viglione initially recorded a three-song demo titled "Ghosts Vol zero" from which the Newtz would occasionally perform the song, "The Sun and the Moon". In the winter of 2008, Dave Henriquez of the band, Hourcast joined the Newtz for a couple shows.

paragraph: But, like all good things, the Newtz eventually passed. In February 2009, after playing what would be their last show at Church of Boston, musical differences and conflicting schedules got the best of the Newtz and the band broke up. During their four years as a band, the Newtz entered the studio on a handful of occurrences, but only demo material was created, although two songs from their 1st demo appeared on The Spinnin' Season Vol. 1 from Blastermonkey Entertainment. Among the slew of talented bands that the Newtz would share the stage with, two bands worked into Eskola's future. One was Allston Neo Classic Rockers Monolith (who would eventually be known as Matalon, at the time featuring Scott and Craig Matalon, guitarist Daanen Krouth of the band, The Luxury, and Lenny Hart). The other was an earlier version of the band Whitey (before Rasmussen or Eskola became involved).

paragraph: Section::::Matalon.

paragraph: Again on the musical 'rebound,' Eskola was again in search of a new project. Around the same time, Monolith, who had shared the stage multiple times with the Newtz (and had since replaced Krouth with guitarist, Jay Gardner of local college rock band, Highgate) had recently found itself in need of a new bassist. Eager to keep making music, Chris got together to jam with Monolith and found himself playing his 1st show with them a month later (April 2009). after a few gigs, the band decided to change its name, and they chose to use Scott and Craig's last name, Matalon. Over the next few months, they would play a handful of shows, including a spot on the "2009 Boston Freedom Rally" (9/19/2009) on the Stingray Body Art 2nd stage, as well as the 2010 "Rock the Village Music and Style Show" (4/15/2010) at Harpers Ferry in Allston, MA. (Now known as the Brighton Music Hall) The band also recorded a three-song demo and create a video for the song "Runnin From Jesus" in the summer of 2009. An instrumental version of the song Time was used for the opening and closing moments of the sports reality show, Boston Boxing: Team Training on NESN.

paragraph: Soon after " 'RTVM&SS,' " Matalon parted ways with Gardner, citing creative differences. This was a tough decision for the Chris and the brothers, as Gardner was considered a great musician and soloist and a good friend to the rest of the band members, "He just had a vision that was different than the rest of ours." With a handful of gigs already scheduled for the next few months (including the "Stingray Body Art fifth anniversary party", also at Harpers Ferry, and the "2010 Boston Freedom Rally"), Matalon scrambled to seal up a lot of the gaps left by Gardner's absence and power on, with the intention of eventually finding a replacement for Jay. To this day, Matalon remains a three-piece with Eskola on bass, Scott on guitar and vocals, and Craig on drums. They're currently working on a full-length recording and playing shows around the greater Boston area.

paragraph: Section::::Face of the Sun.

paragraph: In August 2007, the Newtz performed a show in the front-room of the Paradise Rock Club. A good friend of Ron's by the name of Dave Hughes (who was, at the time, the touring sound engineer for The Dresden Dolls), brought along Dolls' drummer, Brian Viglione, and he and Ron became good friends. Soon, Arra and Viglione found themselves playing an unrehearsed set at a friends party, where they realized that they shared a creative spark that needed to be harnessed (much to the delight of the other party goers) The two soon reunited in a Cambridge, Massachusetts, rehearsal space to record a few freestyle jams. Brian soon found himself in a recording studio to lay down drum tracks with Nine Inch Nails for two tracks that were included on the double album "Ghosts I–IV". Meanwhile, Ron was overdubbing vocals, more guitars, and had petitioned Eskola to lay down some bass lines. The three-song demo that emerged was released under the name "Ghosts Vol zero".

paragraph: Some time went by, and in February 2009, the Newtz disbanded. Eskola joined Matalon, and also lend his bass to Boston Thrash/Punk Legends, deadlikedeath. Ron, also eager to make more music, soon contacted Brian, and the two decided that it was time to book some studio time and try to hash out a full-length recording. Producer Martin Bisi was enlisted in August 2009, and they entered his Brooklyn studio to see what would happen. Ron came in with a few ideas, gave Brian a few cues, and over the course of a weekend, they captured a few hours of freestyle drum tracks. Ron took these recordings back home to Boston, and over the next few months (again with the help of Eskola, now a full-time member) transformed these tracks into an epic ten-song recording. The trio decided on a name, and in September 2010 they released their self-titled album under the name, "Face of the Sun". That fall, the band went on to record a video for the song Earthquake, which was featured in the 2011 Glovebox Film Festival where it was nominated for a "Golden Glovie" award for best Music Video. The Fight was used in Boston vs the World, a sports reality show on NESN, which documents a series of Boxing matches in the Boston area.

paragraph: During this time, Eskola would also find himself splitting his time with local blues metal pioneers, Whitey, with which Kyle Rasmussen was now playing drums, and Adam Muss from the band Muss was now spitting guitar duties with guitarist/vocalist and founder Randy Newman (former bassist of Glazed Baby)

paragraph: With the net buzzing over this innovative new project, FOTS decided in early 2011 that it's now time for the project to be translated for the stage. The band summoned the guitar skills of Scott Matalon, and over the next few months the four piece developed their performance for their live debut. The band booked two shows for the debut. The first was on Friday, May 13, 2011, at the Magic Room Gallery in Brighton, Massachusetts, and the second was on Sunday, May 15 at Pianos in Manhattan's Lower East Side. The band invited long-time friends Whitey to support them both nights, and Brooklyn Cloud Rock favorites, Papertwin played at the New York City show. Both evenings were met with excited, near capacity crowds who were treated with a surprisingly high energy debut performance from a new band with a new approach to making noise. FOTS currently has plans to start the next 'Phase of the Sun' this summer with another round of performances and another visit to the studio.

paragraph: Snooky Pryor

paragraph: James Edward "Snooky" Pryor (September 15, 1919 or 1921 – October 18, 2006) was an American Chicago blues harmonica player. He claimed to have pioneered the now-common method of playing amplified harmonica by cupping a small microphone in his hands along with the harmonica, although on his earliest records, in the late 1940s, he did not use this method.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Pryor was born in Lambert, Mississippi. He developed a country blues style influenced by Sonny Boy Williamson I (John Lee Williamson) and Sonny Boy Williamson II (Aleck Ford "Rice" Miller). In the mid-1930s, in and around Vance, Mississippi, Pryor played in impromptu gatherings of three or four harmonica players, including Jimmy Rogers, who then lived nearby and had yet to take up playing the guitar. Pryor moved to Chicago around 1940.

paragraph: While serving in the U.S. Army he would blow bugle calls through a PA system, which led him to experiment with playing the harmonica that way. Upon discharge from the Army in 1945, he obtained his own amplifier and began playing harmonica at the outdoor Maxwell Street Market, becoming a regular on the Chicago blues scene.

paragraph: Pryor recorded some of the first post-war Chicago blues in 1948, including "Telephone Blues" and "Snooky & Moody's Boogie", with the guitarist Moody Jones, and "Stockyard Blues" and "Keep What You Got", with the singer and guitarist Floyd Jones. "Snooky & Moody's Boogie" is of considerable historical significance: Pryor claimed that the harmonica virtuoso Little Walter directly copied the signature riff of Pryor's song in the opening eight bars of his blues harmonica instrumental "Juke," an R&B hit in 1952. In 1967, Pryor moved to Ullin, Illinois. He quit music and worked as a carpenter in the late 1960s but was persuaded to make a comeback. Blues fans later revived interest in his music, and he resumed recording occasionally until his death in nearby Cape Girardeau, Missouri, at the age of 85.

paragraph: In January 1973 he performed alongside Homesick James with the American Blues Legends tour, which played throughout Europe. On this tour they recorded an album in London, "Homesick James & Snooky Pryor", for Jim Simpson's label, Big Bear Records.

paragraph: Some of his better-known songs are "Judgement Day" (1956), "Crazy 'Bout My Baby" (from "Snooky", 1989), "Where Did You Learn to Shake It Like That" (from "Tenth Anniversary Anthology", 1989), and "Shake My Hand" (1999).

paragraph: Pryor's son Richard "Rip Lee" Pryor is also a blues musician and performs in and around his hometown of Carbondale, Illinois.
