paragraph: Mark Sandman

paragraph: Mark Sandman (September 24, 1952 – July 3, 1999) was an American singer, songwriter, musical instrument inventor, multi-instrumentalist and comic writer. He was an indie rock icon and longtime fixture in the Boston/Cambridge music scene, best known as the lead singer and slide bass player of the band Morphine. Sandman was also a member of the blues-rock band Treat Her Right and founder of Hi-n-Dry, a recording studio and independent record label.

paragraph: Sandman was known for his deep distinctive baritone voice and was notorious for his temper with the media on speculation of his private life as well as his dark, charismatic, and mysterious demeanor, which made him an unpredictable character in person.

paragraph: He was renowned for his laconic approach to questions.

paragraph: On July 3, 1999, he suffered a massive heart attack during a concert in Italy and died instantly.

paragraph: He was highly regarded by many other bass players for his unique "slow and murky" style, with Les Claypool, Mike Watt, and Josh Homme all citing Sandman as an influence.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Mark Sandman was born into a Jewish American family in Newton, Massachusetts. He graduated from the University of Massachusetts, then worked a variety of blue-collar jobs, including construction, taxi driving, and commercial fishing. Sandman once noted he would often earn considerable overtime pay, which allowed him to take leave of work and travel outside of New England to places such as rural Colorado—the setting for a number of Treat Her Right and Morphine songs penned by Sandman, including "Thursday," "The Jury," and "I Think She Likes Me."

paragraph: Two tragic events affected Sandman's life and would later influence his music: he was robbed and stabbed in the chest during a robbery in his cab, and his two brothers died. These events would later be recounted in the Treat Her Right song "No Reason." His mother, Guitelle Sandman, later self-published "Four Minus Three: A Mother's Story", a book about the loss of her three sons.

paragraph: Few details are publicly known about Sandman's personal life. Fans have often speculated that many of Sandman's songs were autobiographical, which to this day remains unconfirmed. Although Sandman served as an unofficial spokesman for Morphine, he avoided answering questions about his personal life or his professional experiences outside of the music business. Sandman was reported to have been particularly secretive about his age, becoming angry with any reporter who expressed an interest in revealing it publicly, perhaps because he was 10 to 20 years older than most of his indie-rock contemporaries.

paragraph: Section::::Musical career.

paragraph: Along with Morphine, which he formed in 1989, Sandman was a member of the bands Treat Her Right, Sandman, Candy Bar, the Hypnosonics, Treat Her Orange, Supergroup (with Chris Ballew), and the Pale Brothers. He performed as a guest with the Boston jazz band Either/Orchestra.

paragraph: His instruments were extensively altered and sometimes built by hand. In Morphine, he usually played a two-string slide bass guitar tuned to a fifth, and sometimes a unitar (named after the one-stringed instrument in American blues tradition), and three-string slide bass with one bass and two unison strings tuned an octave higher (usually to A). He sometimes paired bass strings with one or two guitar strings, creating the "basitar" "tri-tar" and "guitbass." The guitbass and basitar were later used by the band The Presidents of The United States of America, with whom Sandman was close friends.

paragraph: For Sandman, the result was a murky, slurring sound that, particularly when paired with the baritone saxophone of Morphine's Dana Colley, created what Sandman termed "low rock." His baritone singing completed the sound. "We're just baritone people," he once told an interviewer. "And the cumulative effect of all these instruments is that it sounds really low, but you can still hear what's going on between the different instruments. It hits the body in a peculiar way that some people like a lot."

paragraph: As a lyricist, Sandman was influenced by pulp fiction writer Jim Thompson, crime writer James Ellroy, and Beat poet/novelist Jack Kerouac.

paragraph: During Morphine's active years, the band released five albums and one B-sides compilation. They toured extensively, both domestically and internationally, and became the second act signed to Dreamworks Records. During the 1990s, Sandman continued to expand his Cambridge-based home recording studio with second-hand instruments and equipment, calling the studio Hi-n-Dry. Hi-n-Dry became Morphine's unofficial home and they recorded many of their signature tracks using Sandman's unique homegrown production methods.

paragraph: Section::::"The Twinemen".

paragraph: In addition to his work as a musician, Sandman was also an amateur photographer and artist. He created a comic titled "The Twinemen", starring three anthropomorphic balls of twine who form a band, become successful, break up, and later reunite.

paragraph: "The Twinemen" comic also showcased Sandman's signature technique of combining a simple pen or pencil drawing with watercolor paints. Sandman's art and photographs were showcased on the official Morphine website and later featured in a DVD released with the "Sandbox" box set.

paragraph: Colley, Treat Her Right and Morphine drummer Billy Conway, and singer Laurie Sargent would later adopt the Twinemen moniker for their own band as an homage to Sandman.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Sandman collapsed on stage on July 3, 1999 at the Giardini del Principe in Palestrina, Lazio, Italy while performing with Morphine. His death, at the age of 46, was the result of a heart attack. His death has been attributed to heavy stress and the temperature of over 100 degrees Fahrenheit on the night of his death. He was survived by his girlfriend Sabine Hrechdakian, parents Robert and Guitelle Sandman and sister Martha Holmes. Morphine disbanded following his death, although the surviving members briefly toured with other musicians as Orchestra Morphine, a tribute to Sandman and in support of the posthumous release, "The Night".

paragraph: Following Sandman's death, Hi-n-Dry became a commercial record label and studio, dedicated to recording and releasing work by Boston-area artists. The label and studio are managed by Sandman's former Morphine band mates Conway and Colley. Hi-n-Dry issued a retrospective box set of Sandman's music called "Sandbox" in 2004. Another four disc Morphine box set has been compiled but has not been released due to the sale of former Morphine label, Rykodisc, to Warner Brothers.

paragraph: In 2009, Colley, Deupree, and Boston musician Jeremy Lyons formed the group Vapors of Morphine. The band regularly performs in Boston and New Orleans.

paragraph: Chris Colabello

paragraph: Christopher Adrian Colabello (born October 24, 1983) is an American professional baseball first baseman and outfielder for the Kansas City T-Bones of the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball. He played parts of four seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Minnesota Twins and Toronto Blue Jays, after playing seven seasons in independent baseball.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.

paragraph: Born in Framingham, Massachusetts, Colabello grew up in Rimini, Italy. His mother, Silvanna, was born in Rimini, and his father, Lou, played baseball in Italy for seven years, later pitching in the 1984 Olympics. The family moved back to Massachusetts in 1991. Colabello graduated from Milford High School in Milford, Massachusetts. He then attended NCAA Division II Assumption College, but was not drafted by an MLB team.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Independent baseball.

paragraph: Prior to joining the Twins organization in 2012, he played seven seasons in the independent Can-Am League for the Worcester Tornadoes (2005–2011) and Nashua Pride (part of 2007).

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Minor leagues.

paragraph: In 2012, his first season of affiliated baseball, Colabello batted .284 with 19 home runs and 98 runs batted in (RBI) for the New Britain Rock Cats of the Double-A Eastern League. He started the 2013 season with the Rochester Red Wings of the Triple-A International League, hitting .358 with 12 home runs in 46 games before being promoted to Minnesota.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Minnesota Twins.:2013 season.

paragraph: On May 22, 2013, the Twins promoted Colabello to the major leagues and he made his debut that day. He was called up after Trevor Plouffe suffered a concussion and was placed on the 7-day disabled list. Colabello went 1-for-11 and was optioned on May 29. He was called back up on May 30 after a strained left calf forced Plouffe to the 15-day disabled list. However, after having played two additional games, Colabello was sent down again when Plouffe returned.

paragraph: Colabello had a very successful minor league season, hitting .352 with 24 home runs in 89 games, and was named the International League Most Valuable Player at the end of the year, as well as the Rookie of the Year. Called up to the Twins again towards the end of July, Colabello spent the rest of the year in the big leagues, but his .194 average and 7 home runs in 55 games was far off his minor league pace.

paragraph: After his 2013 season, Colabello garnered significant interest from several teams in the Korea Baseball Organization, including a reported $1 million contract offer from the LG Twins (with a similar $1 million buyout going to the Minnesota Twins). On December 21, Colabello announced that he would not pursue the opportunity to play overseas, saying "Going to Korea would mean giving up the dream of being a big-leaguer".

paragraph: Colabello played for the Italy National Team in the 2013 World Baseball Classic. He appeared in all 5 games that Italy participated in, going 6-for-18 (.333) with 2 HR and 7 RBI.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Minnesota Twins.:2014 season.

paragraph: In 2014, Colabello made the Twins starting lineup out of the gate, rotating between outfield, first base, and designated hitter. He had a dazzling start to the season, batting .308 with 3 home runs, and 27 RBIs through his first 23 games.

paragraph: On April 26, Colabello surpassed Hall of Famer Kirby Puckett's Twins franchise record of 26 RBIs in the month of April. It was a club record that stood for 20 years.

paragraph: His hot start soon cooled off, as Colabello hit .125 in May and was sent down to the minors by the end of the month. He was recalled by the Twins for July and early August, but did not regain his batting stroke, finishing the season at .229.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Toronto Blue Jays.:2015 season.

paragraph: On December 8, 2014, Colabello was claimed off waivers by the Toronto Blue Jays. They designated him for assignment on February 4, 2015, and he was outrighted to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons on February 11. Colabello batted .337 with 5 home runs and 18 RBI in April 2015, and was named the International League Player of the Month. On May 5, Colabello's contract was purchased by the Blue Jays. In his second game with the Blue Jays, Colabello recorded his first career four-hit game. On May 29, Colabello played his first game against his former team, the Minnesota Twins. In the ninth inning, he hit a tiebreaking two-run home run off closer Glen Perkins to help the Blue Jays win 6–4. Colabello continued his excellent batting on June 7, when he helped the Blue Jays sweep the Houston Astros by hitting a walk-off two-run single. With the hit, he also extended his career-high hitting streak to 17 games. He hit his first career triple on October 2.

paragraph: Colabello finished the 2015 regular season with career-highs in nearly every statistical category, including batting average (.321), hits (107), home runs (15), RBI (54), and on-base plus slugging (.886). He hit a solo home run in Game 5 of the 2015 American League Championship Series, which helped the Blue Jays top the Kansas City Royals on October 21 and force a Game 6.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Toronto Blue Jays.:2016 season.

paragraph: On April 22, 2016, Colabello was suspended 80 games without pay for testing positive on performance-enhancing drugs on March 13. This effectively ended his major league career, as Colabello never played another ML game after the suspension began. At the time of his suspension, he was hitting .069 (2-for-29) in 10 games.

paragraph: In response to the suspension, Colabello released the following statement:

paragraph: "On March 13, I got one of the scariest and most definitely the least expected calls of my entire life. I was informed by the Players Association that a banned substance was found in my urine. I have spent every waking moment since that day trying to find an answer as to why or how? The only thing I know is that I would never compromise the integrity of the game of baseball. I love this game too much! I care too deeply about it. I am saddened more for the impact this will have on my teammates, the organization and the fans of the Toronto Blue Jays.

paragraph: (1) Sir Arthur Chichester of Youlston, Bart., Elizabeth his wife, and his son and heir apparent, John Chichester, esq.

paragraph: (2) Anne Leigh, only daughter and heir of John Leigh, late of Newport, deceased.

paragraph: (3) John IV Courtenay (died 1724) of Molland, esq. (the father-in-law of John Chichester's sister Mary, married to George Courtenay (1701–1731)), William Bragg of Sadborough, Parkham esq., William Page of Fremington, esq., and Claver Morris of Wells, Doctor of Physic, trustees.

paragraph: Francis Hall, the former husband of Chichester's second wife Frances is stated as of "West Sandford"

paragraph: A monument to Francis Hall (died 1728) exists in Newton St Cyres Church. West Sandford was a very large mansion about 2 1/2 miles NW of Crediton, near the ancient Chichester estate of Ruxford, of which a watercolour painting was made in 1797 by the Devon topographer Rev. John Swete. The latter wrote of West Sandford in his Travel Journal in 1797 as follows: ""The appearance of this house, built with brick and decorated with white mouldings, is of great respectability. Its contiguous gardens with high walls and large gates and the groves that shelter it on the NE speak it to have been the residence of some person of consequence who had a relish for things of former days and was too advanced in years to adopt the improvements of modern taste. It was long the property and abode of Lady Chichester and by her decease a few years ago became a possession of Sir John Chichester of Youlston, Bart. Beheld in its two fronts from a rising point of the public road it had such extent of building as to possess a degree of magnificence; nor has it less to recommend itself for its situation, having spread out before its windows some of the richest pasture ground in the county. What ingredients of the picturesque, taking advantage of the road as a foreground, may enter into the composition of the scenery, may be collected from the following sketch"". This large house appears to have disappeared with little trace, no mention of it being made by Pevsner or Hoskins, the leading modern authorities on such matters.

paragraph: El Soberano

paragraph: El Soberano or Soberano Jr. (born August 12, 1993 in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico) is a Mexican "luchador enmascarado", or masked professional wrestler currently working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) portraying a "tecnico" ("Good guy") wrestling character. Soberano Jr.'s real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans. He is a third generation wrestler, son of Euforia and grandson of Pablo Moreno Román, known under the ring name El Soberano. Soberano is Spanish for "Sovereign".

paragraph: In his career he has won the 2013 "Torneo Sangre Nueva", the 2017 "La Copa Junior Nuevo Valores" and 2017 "Torneo Gran Alternativa" tournaments and is the current holder of the Mexican National Welterweight Championship. Alongside tag team partner Star Jr. (collectively known as "Los Principes del Aire") he has won the masks of Ramstein and Cholo.

paragraph: Soberano Jr. was trained both by his grandfather Pablo Moreno Román, better known by his ring name Soberano and his father, best known under the ring name Euforia. He made his professional wrestling debut at the age of only 13, working on the local independent circuit in Torreón, Coahuila. During the early parts of his career he competed as "El Nieto del Soberano" ("The Grandson of Soberano") but later changed his name to Soberano Jr. or El Soberano Jr., the same ring name used by his father.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.:Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (2010–present).

paragraph: He began training in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) wrestling school and even competed in CMLL's 2010 Bodybuilding contest, before he had made his in ring debut for the company, he placed third in the beginners category. He would not make his in ring debut for CMLL until six months later, on June 7, 2011 where he teamed up with Trueno losing to Semental and Apocalipsis in a match at Arena Mexico. In March, 2012 Soberano Jr. was one of the participants in the "Torneo Sangre Nueva"("The New Blood Tournament") that featured 16 wrestlers classified as rookies, or at least rookie characters. Soberano Jr. competed in the "Block A" "torneo cibernetico", eight-man elimination match and was eliminated as the third man, 10:12 into the match when he was pinned by Stigma. During a match on the September 7, 2012 Super Viernes between the tag team of Soberano Jr. and Horus and Camorra and Inquisidor, Soberano Jr. was injured due to a mistimed move and was carried out of the arena on a stretcher. Soberano Jr. would not wrestle again for over a month before making a full recovery. On February 26, 2013 Soberano Jr. outlasted Camaleón, Stigma, Horus, Hombre Bala Jr., Akuma, Espanto Jr., Herodes Jr., Cholo and Bobby Zavala to qualify for the finals of the 2013 "Torneo Sangre Nueva". Soberano Jr. defeated Taurus, two falls to one to win the 2013 "Sangre Nueva" tournament. In late March 2013 Soberano Jr. was announced as one of the "Novatos", or rookies, in the 2013 "Torneo Gran Alternativa", or "Great Alternative tournament". The "Gran Alternativa" pairs a rookie with an experienced wrestler for a tag team tournament. Soberano Jr. was teamed up with veteran wrestler La Sombra and competed in Block B that took place on the April 19, 2013 "Super Viernes" show. The team defeated Herodes Jr. and El Terrible in the first round, Sensei and Rush in the second round, but lost to Bobby Zavala and Rey Escorpión in the semi-finals. On April 7, 2013 Soberano Jr. worked his first major CMLL event when he teamed up with Metatrón to defeat Espanto Jr. and Guerrero Negro Jr. in the opening match of the Arena Coliseo 70th Anniversary Show.

paragraph: In late 2014 Soberano Jr. and Star Jr. started an alliance as "Los Principes del Ring" ("The Ring Princes"). They were involved in a feud with Ramstein and Cholo, which ended up in a "Lucha de Apuestas", or mask vs. mask match, on January 6, 2015, which "Los Principes" won, taking the masks of both of their opponents. In January 2017, Soberano Jr. made his Japanese debut by taking part in "Fantastica Mania 2017", the annual tour co-produced by CMLL and New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW). On April 14, 2017 Soberano Jr. outlasted El Hijo del Signo, Oro Jr., Espanto Jr., The Panther, Canelo Casas, Drone and El Cuatrero to qualify for the finals of the 2017 "La Copa Junior Nuevo Valores" tournament, a tournament for second or third generation "luchadors". Two weeks later he defeated Sansón to win the whole tournament. On May 13, 2017 Soberano Jr. defeated Rey Cometa to win the Mexican National Welterweight Championship, his first CMLL championship. In June 2017 Soberano teamed up with veteran wrestler Carístico for the 2017 "Gran Alternativa" ("Great Alternative") tournament. The duo defeated the teams of Ángel de Oro and Oro Jr., Flyer and Volador Jr., Canelo Casas and Negro Casas to qualify for the finals. On June 16 the two defeated Sansón and Último Guerrero to win the 2017 "Gran Alternativa" tournament. Soberano Jr. would compete in the 2018 Super Junior Tag League with Volador Jr.. They finished with a 2-5 record, failing to advance to the finals.

paragraph: John Emil Augustine

paragraph: John Emil Augustine (born March 12, 1975) is an American novelist, short story writer, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, mental health advocate, and teacher. Augustine's literary works are best known for their emphasis on the author's abuse at the hands of a mentally unstable wife and the effects of that abuse on his own mental health as well as subsequent relationships. Less than a year after its release, his first novel, "From the Abyss" (2013), was recognized as one of the "50 Self-Published Books Worth Reading" by Indie Author Land, 2013/14. His musical career spans four decades (1987–present); however, little information has been released by Augustine himself regarding his career in music. His participation in the Minneapolis music scene is alluded to in his memoir-oriented novels as well as in subsequent interviews.

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

paragraph: Much of Augustine's early life and educational details have been kept under wraps to quell the threat of continued abuse. Augustine grew up in Minneapolis, MN. His undergraduate degrees include English, music, and general education from a Minneapolis/St. Paul College. Augustine earned a MA in Adult Education at the University of Minnesota as well as a MFA in Communications.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Musical career.

paragraph: Much of Augustine's musical career has been kept under wraps, but two full-length albums were nonetheless released in 2014, the second of which, "Postcards from the Abyss" (2014), features material dating back as far as 1992. A June 2014 interview indicates the existence of material dating back to 1987, five years prior to the time span of the release.

paragraph: Augustine's first release, "Chants for Renewal, Presence, and Awareness (2014)," earned him a number one spot on ReverbNation's World music charts in February 2014. Notably, Augustine holds sole writing, performance, and production credits on an album with instrumentation as varied as didgeridoo, hammered dulcimer, and steel drum.

paragraph: In October 2016, as a lead-up to the 20th Anniversary release of "Need the Love", Augustine mass-released two EPs, fifteen full albums, eight double albums, and one triple album (26 in all) spanning 25 years (1991-2016) on YouTube. Notably, the rarely heard "Divorce Tapes", which coincide with Augustine's first "From the Abyss" novel, were included in the mass release.

paragraph: Augustine "toured in his twenties and early thirties with local and national acts; writing, arranging, and performing with notable jazz, blues, gospel, reggae, post funk, prog rock, and folk groups." One such act alluded to has been with a member of the Jamaican reggae and ska band The Wailers.

paragraph: In 2014, Augustine indicated plans to return to public performance after a ten-year hiatus. In 2015, an official announcement via Augustine's website divulged the name of his group, The JEA Combo, as well as the names of his hand-selected veteran bandmates: Richard Novy (The Cornbread Harris Band), Jake Pool (Puafua), and Joe Frank. The combo's first appearance was as a headliner for Ars Bellum Foundation's "Boots On the Ground" fundraiser for veterans with PTSD. Shortly after, Jake Pool left the group and David Towner joined.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Literary career.

paragraph: June 22, 2012 marked the beginning of Augustine's literary career when his self-published, self-edited memoir, a 72,000 word novel entitled "Love Seen from Hell," first became available in the burgeoning indie literature market as a Smashwords ebook. The book itself was fashioned from Augustine's personal Facebook messages to a friend in an abusive relationship. The two follow-ups, "Love Seen from Heartache" and "Love Seen from Healing," also appeared as self-published Smashwords ebooks within the span of a year.

paragraph: Augustine Signed on with small press publisher Master Koda Select Publishing in 2013, and the second edition of "Love Seen from Hell" entitled "From the Abyss" was released in December 2013. "From the Abyss" earned a number one spot on Amazon's Hot New Releases list in January 2014, as well as a number 32 spot on Amazon's Best Seller's list following the release of its follow-up. In March 2014, "From the Abyss II" (the second edition of "Love Seen from Heartache") also earned a number one spot on Amazon's Hot New Releases as well as number 16 spot on its Best Seller's list. "From the Abyss" also earned a number 28 spot in June 2014 on Indie Author Land's "50 Self-Published Books Worth Reading," 2013/14. "From the Abyss III" (the second edition of "Love Seen From Healing") was released to a number 19 spot on Amazon's Best Seller's List in March 2015.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Mental Health Advocacy.

paragraph: Augustine is using his "From the Abyss" series to raise community awareness about the widespread existence of domestic abuse. To that end, he also co-founded and volunteered for the online help group Coping With Emotional Abuse, donates all proceeds of his 2016 album, "Need the Love", to Mental Health Minnesota, and continues to volunteer as an ambassador for Mental Health Minnesota, sharing his story and leading public speaking workshops for new ambassadors.

paragraph: Benjamin Tupper

paragraph: Benjamin Tupper (March 11, 1738 – June 7, 1792) was a soldier in the French and Indian War, and an officer of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, achieving the rank of brevet brigadier general. Subsequently, he served as a Massachusetts legislator, and he assisted Gen. William Shepard in stopping Shays' Rebellion. Benjamin Tupper was a co-founder of the Ohio Company of Associates, and was a pioneer to the Ohio Country, involved in establishing Marietta, Ohio as the first permanent settlement in the Northwest Territory.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Benjamin Tupper, the youngest of eight children, was born in a precinct of Stoughton in Massachusetts, now a part of the town of Sharon, Massachusetts. His father died when he was young; Benjamin then worked as an apprentice to a tanner in Dorchester near Boston. At the age of sixteen, he began working on a farm in Chesterfield in western Massachusetts. As a young man, Benjamin Tupper served as a soldier during the French and Indian War for two or three years. During that time, he also ran a district school in Easton, Massachusetts during the winters. At the age of 24, he married Huldah White in Easton, and they subsequently relocated to Chesterfield. He served as a lieutenant of the militia in Chesterfield.

paragraph: Section::::Revolutionary War.

paragraph: Benjamin Tupper was in the field with the Continental Army throughout the American Revolutionary War. He engaged as major with Col. John Fellows' Massachusetts regiment at the beginning of the war in April 1775, several days after the Battles of Lexington and Concord. Maj. Tupper participated in the Siege of Boston during 1775. During the siege he led an expedition against British forces on Castle Island and the Boston Light in Boston harbor. During the expedition, his troops skirmished with British and Tories, and burned the lighthouse to hinder the movement of British naval ships. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel in late 1775.

paragraph: After the Battle of Long Island in 1776, Lt. Col. Tupper commanded gunboats on the North River (the southernmost portion of the Hudson River) near New York City. Describing an engagement of Tupper's gunboats with the British, Gen. George Washington wrote "...our officers and men, during the whole of the affair, behaved with great spirit and bravery." Benjamin Tupper was promoted to colonel during July 1777. Later that year, Col. Tupper served under Gen. Horatio Gates at Saratoga. Col. Tupper and his 11th Massachusetts Regiment wintered at Valley Forge with Gen. Washington during the winter and spring of 1777 and 1778.

paragraph: During 1778, Col. Tupper served with Gen. Washington at the Battle of Monmouth; during the action, Tupper's horse was killed under him. During 1780 he served in the Highlands Department and was in charge of the Great Chain across the Hudson River at West Point. He served in the northern frontier of New York during the rest of the war as commanding officer of the 10th Massachusetts Regiment, and then the 6th Massachusetts Regiment. During September 1783, he achieved the rank of brevet brigadier general.

paragraph: Section::::Post-war and the Ohio Country.

paragraph: At the close of the war Gen. Tupper returned to his family at Chesterfield, and became a member of the Massachusetts Legislature. During 1786, Benjamin Tupper and Rufus Putnam founded the Ohio Company of Associates. During that year, Benjamin Tupper was appointed as surveyor for the state of Massachusetts for the surveying of the Seven Ranges in the Ohio Country. During 1787, he volunteered his services to Massachusetts militia Gen. William Shepard to assist in suppressing Shays' Rebellion; Gen. Tupper helped organize volunteers for the militia, and was with Gen Shepard defending the Springfield, Massachusetts armory when Shays attacked and was defeated.

paragraph: During 1788, Benjamin Tupper and other pioneers of the Ohio Company of Associates arrived at the confluence of the Ohio and Muskingum rivers to establish Marietta, Ohio as the first permanent American settlement in the Northwest Territory. In August 1788, he invented a screw propeller, positioned in the stern of a boat, and turned with a crank. Manasseh Cutler wrote about the propeller that "It succeeded to admiration, and I think it a very useful discovery." During September 1788, Benjamin Tupper and Rufus Putnam were the justices of the first civil court in the Northwest Territory. Benjamin Tupper was a prominent member of the pioneer settlement of Marietta. He was a member of the Society of the Cincinnati, and an original member of the American Union Lodge No. 1 of Freemasons at Marietta, along with several others including his son Anselm Tupper, William Stacy, and Rufus Putnam.

paragraph: Benjamin Tupper's sons were Maj. Anselm Tupper, Gen. Edward W. Tupper, and Col. Benjamin Tupper, Jr. His daughters were Sophia, Minerva, and Roewena, who married Gov. Winthrop Sargent in the first marriage ceremony in the Northwest Territory. Another daughter, Huldah, died young.

paragraph: Benjamin Tupper died in June 1792. A visitor to the Marietta settlement witnessed the funeral, and wrote that:

paragraph: Gen. Tupper, who had died the day before, was buried on the 17th. In consideration of the four different offices which he held, firstly as General in the service of the United States in the late war; secondly as member of the Cincinnati order; thirdly as director of the Ohio Company; and fourthly as master among the Freemasons, therefore, because of these positions, great honors were shown his remains at the funeral.

paragraph: Benjamin Tupper is buried with many other Revolutionary War soldiers and pioneers at Mound Cemetery in Marietta.

paragraph: Ghiyath al-Din Muhammad

paragraph: Ghiyath al-Din Muhammad (), was "sultan" of the Ghurid dynasty from 1163 to 1202. During his reign, the Ghurid dynasty became a world power, which stretched from Gorgan to Bengal.

paragraph: During his early reign, he defeated the Ghurid claimants to the throne and fought with the Khwarazmian Empire over the lordship of Khorasan. He occupied Herat in 1176 and went on to establish control over most of what is now Afghanistan and the surrounding areas by 1200, and as far west as Bastam and Gurgan. His brother, Mu'izz al-Din, helped manage and expand the eastern part of the empire (as far as Bengal) and served Ghiyath with utmost loyalty and deference. Ghiyath died in 1202 and was succeeded by his brother Mu'izz al-Din.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Ghiyath was born in 1139; he was the son of Baha al-Din Sam I, who briefly reigned as king of the Ghurid dynasty in 1149. Ghiyath also had a younger brother named Mu'izz al-Din. During his early life, Ghiyath along with Mu'izz al-Din were imprisoned by their uncle Ala al-Din Husayn but were later released by the latter's son Sayf al-Din Muhammad. When Sayf died in 1163, the Ghurid nobles supported Ghiyath, and helped him ascend the throne.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.

paragraph: When Ghiyath ascended to the throne, he was aided by his brother in the killing of a rival Ghurid chief named Abu'l Abbas. However, this was not the end of Ghurid family disputes; Ghiyath was soon challenged by his uncle Fakhr al-Din Masud, who claimed the throne for himself and had allied with Taj al-Din Yildiz, the Seljuq governor of Herat and Balkh. However, the coalition was defeated by Ghiyath and Mu'izz al-Din at Ragh-i Zar. Ghiyath defeated and killed the Seljuq governor during the battle, and thereafter proceeded to conquer Zamindawar, Badghis, Gharchistan, and Guzgan. He spared Fakhr al-Din and restored him as the ruler of Bamiyan. Fakhr al-Din later died and was succeeded by his son Shams al-Din Muhammad ibn Masud, who quickly seized Balkh, Chaghaniyan, Vakhsh, Jarum, Badakhshan, and Shighnan from the Kara-Khitan Khanate, and was thus given the title of "Sultan" by Ghiyath.

paragraph: In 1173, Ghiyath invaded Ghazni and defeated the Oghuz Turks, who had taken the city from the Ghaznavids. He then installed his brother Mu'izz al-Din as the ruler of Ghazni. Two years later, he seized Herat and Pushang from its Seljuq governor, Baha al-Din Toghril. Shortly thereafter, the ruler of Sistan, Taj al-Din Harb ibn Muhammad, acknowledged the sovereignty of Ghiyath, and so did the Oghuz Turks controlling Kirman.

paragraph: During the same period, the Khwarazmian prince Sultan Shah, who had been expelled from Khwarezm by his brother Tekish, took refuge in Ghor and requested military aid from Ghiyath. Ghiyath, however, did not help the latter. Instead, Sultan Shah managed to get help from the Kara-Khitan Khanate, and began plundering the northern Ghurid domains. In 1186, Ghiyath, along with Mu'izz al-Din, dissolved the Ghaznavid dynasty after having captured Lahore, where they had the Ghaznavid ruler Khusrau-Malik executed. With the aid of the rulers of Bamiyan, Sistan, and his brother Mu'izz al-Din, Ghiyath then defeated the forces of Sultan Shah at Marw al-Rudh in 1190. He also annexed most of the latter's territories in Khorasan. Shortly after war broke out between the Khwarazmian Shahs and the Ghurids; Tekish attacked Herat while the Kara-Khitans invaded Guzgan. Both, were, however, defeated by Ghiyath.

paragraph: In 1200, Tekish died and was succeeded by Muhammad Khan (who took the honorific name 'Ala' al-Din). Among the first to hear of this were Ghiyath and Mu'izz al-Din. Within weeks the two brothers had already moved their armies westwards into Khorasan. Once they had captured Nishapur, Mu'izz al-Din was sent on an expedition towards Ray, but he let his troops get out of control and got little further than Gurgan, earning criticism from Ghiyath which led to the only reported quarrel between the brothers. Ghiyath appointed the son of Fakhr al-Din Masud, Taj al-Din Zangi, as the governor of Sarakhs, while another Ghurid named Nasir al-Din Muhammad Kharnak was appointed as governor of Merv.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Ghiyath died at Herat in 1202 after months of illness. He was succeeded by his brother Mu'izz al-Din, who had quickly returned to Ghor from India and obtained the support of Ghurid nobles. They crowned him as Sultan of the Ghurid Empire at Firuzkuh.

paragraph: Zoe Leonard

paragraph: Zoe Leonard (born 1961) is an American artist who works primarily with photography and sculpture. She has exhibited widely since the late 1980s and her work has been included in a number of seminal exhibitions including Documenta IX and Documenta XII, and the 1993, 1997 and 2014 Whitney biennials.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Leonard was born in 1961 in Liberty, New York. Aged 16, she dropped out of school and started taking photographs. She has spent most of her adult life living in New York City, whose built environment has been the subject matter of much of her work (e.g. sidewalks, storefronts, apartment buildings, chain-link fencing, graffiti, and boarded-up windows.) Leonard became well-known internationally following her installation at Documenta IX in 1992.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: From her earliest aerial photographs to her images of museum displays, anatomical models, and fashion shows, much of Leonard's work reflects on the framing, classifying, and ordering of vision. She explained in a recent interview: "Rather than any one subject or genre (landscape, portrait, still life, etc), I was, and remain, interested in engaging a simultaneous questioning of both subject and vantage point, the relation between viewer and world — in short, subjectivity and how it informs our experience of the world."

paragraph: Leonard was active in AIDS advocacy and queer politics in New York in the 1980s and 1990s. In 1992 she wrote "I want a president", a poem inspired by Eileen Myles's run for president.

paragraph: In 1995 she staged an exhibition at her studio on the Lower East Side of Manhattan which featured the work "Strange Fruit", an installation of various fruit skins (oranges, bananas, grapefruits, lemons) that Leonard saved and then sewed together by hand with wire and thread. "Strange Fruit" grew out of a deeply personal response to the losses of the AIDS epidemic and as a meditation on mourning, it became a seminal work of the 1990s. "Strange Fruit" was exhibited in 1998 at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where it currently resides.

paragraph: During the mid-1990s Leonard spent two years living in a remote part of Alaska, an experience that influenced much of her later artwork, which often foregrounds relationships between humans and the natural world. Trees are a motif in Leonard's work: examples include a "reconstructed" tree that she installed in Vienna's Secession in 1997 as well as numerous photographs of urban trees mangled in chain-link and razor wire fences.

paragraph: Between 1998 and 2009, Leonard worked on "Analogue", a monumental project consisting of an installation of 412 C-prints and gelatin silver prints (in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Reina Sofia, Madrid), and a portfolio of 40 dye-transfer prints. Influenced by Eugène Atget and Walker Evans but born out of a 21st-century reconsideration of the role of photography, "Analogue" explores transformations in global labor, trade, and social relationships in parallel with the shift from analogue to digital image-making. Holland Cotter described an experience of the work in "The New York Times" in 2009:

paragraph: "In her straight-ahead photographs of storefronts, an arrangement of shoes or shrink-wrapped furniture becomes a vanitas still life. A hand-painted shop sign becomes a relic. Over several photographs, we sense that an unnamed neighborhood — Ms. Leonard expanded her field work to include East Harlem, Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights — is packing up to leave. A city's material culture is doing a vanishing act. And where is the material going? Back to a version of the world it came from. Many of the cut-rate goods sold in the Lower East Side shops originated in urban sweatshops in China and Pakistan and are eventually passed on as surplus to other poor cities in Africa and Central America. In the wraparound grid of pictures in Analogue we follow recycled clothes from Brooklyn to the city of Kampala in Uganda, where they are sold as new in stores like the Money Is Life House of Garments."

paragraph: "Analogue" was first exhibited in 2007 at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio, and at Documenta XII in Kassel, Germany, followed by presentations at Villa Arson in Nice, and Dia at the Hispanic Society and the Museum of Modern Art in New York and was included in a touring retrospective of Leonard's work which originated in 2007 at the Fotomuseum Winterthur, and later traveled to the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid; MuMOK — Museum Moderner Kunst Stifting Ludwig, Vienna; and Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich. "Analogue" is in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Reina Sofia, Madrid.

paragraph: More recent exhibitions have included "Serialities" at Hauser & Wirth, "You See I Am Here After All" at (2009), Observation Point, Camden Arts Centre, London (2012), an installation at the Chinati Foundation, Marfa, Texas (2013-2014) and the 2014 Whitney Biennial, for which Leonard won the Bucksbaum Award with her work "945 Madison Avenue". In 2018, the Whitney Museum of American Art mounted Leonard's first career retrospective in the United States, an exhibition organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, where the show traveled in late 2018. Texts by Leonard, an insightful writer and a pre-eminent thinker on the discipline of photography, have appeared in "LTTR", "October", and "Texte zur Kunst", and in recent monographs on Agnes Martin, James Castle and Josiah McElheny.
