 backer for the nearby town of Callville, Arizona Territory  He envisioned the town as a river port which Mormon migrants, traveling up the Colorado River from the Gulf of California, would use on their way to Utah. Gass promoted the town in newspapers and served as the town's postmaster. Gass's dreams for the town never came to fruition as completion of the transcontinental railroad provided an easier means to reach Utah. The town's post office was closed on June 15, 1869. His position as a businessman and landowner provided Gass with political influence within northwestern Arizona Territory.He leveraged this influence and was elected in 1865 to represent Mohave County in the House of Representatives (lower house) of the 2nd Arizona Territorial Legislature. Upon his arrival in Prescott, <mask> discovered only nine other legislators had made the trip to the territorial capital and used the reduced numbers to his advantage. The result was passage of a bill that he drafted which created Pah-Ute County from northern Mohave County and established Callville as the county seat. Nevada
On May 5, 1866, much of Pah-Ute county, including the area around <mask>' Las Vegas Ranch was moved to Lincoln County, Nevada by the U.S. Congress. <mask> initially refused to accept the change and declined to pay Nevada taxes. He and his neighbors petitioned the Nevada legislature to create Las Vegas county from the southern section of Lincoln County, but their request was ignored. <mask> also joined with other Arizona politicians to twice complain to Congress about the boundary change.The boundary change became finalized in January 1867 when the Nevada Legislature unanimously accepted the new border. Despite living in Nevada, <mask> continued to represent Pah-Ute county in the Arizona Territorial Legislature for another 3 years. During the 1886 session, he became a member of the council (upper house). He chaired a joint committee on military and Indian affairs and served as the session's Spanish

During the 5th Arizona Territorial Legislature, <mask> represented both Mohave and Pah-Ute counties. To reach the new territorial capital in Tucson, <mask> and Andrew S. Gibbons rafted down the Colorado River.The two men chose this route to avoid Indian attack but instead hazarded several sets of rapids in their  boat. Upon reaching Yuma they were delayed because a stagecoach had been attacked by Indians, killing all aboard, and a replacement driver was not immediately available. The pair arrived at the session a week late but were able to entertain other legislators with tales of their journey. Shortly after the boundary change was finalized, Lincoln County began demanding two years of back taxes from their new residents. About 600 Mormon residents along the Muddy River refused to make the payment and instead abandoned their homes to move to Utah. The combination of taxes and the loss of 600 regular customers was a significant financial blow to Gass. In addition to the taxes, Gass needed money to deal continuing legal battles over the Temescal Tin Mine   Gass also saw a significant reduction in his political influence as the 600 composed much of his political base.He would later become Lincoln County Justice of the Peace but never regained his previous political sway. Gass married Mary Virginia Simpson, a niece of Ulysses S. Grant, on February 24, 1872 in Pioche, Nevada. He had met her when her caravan had stopped at his ranch in early 1871. Simpson was traveling with her sister and brother-in-law, Ann and Isaac Jennings, from Los Angeles to Arizona but had been stopped by high water on the Colorado River. Instead of continuing to Arizona, the Jennings bought some farmland near St. Thomas. For close to a year, Gass had made frequent trips to St. Thomas to court Simpson. Following their wedding, the couple had six children, including a set of twins.The  Spring ranch

He was also beginning to worry about how he would provide an education and social opportunities to his children. As early as 1868, Gass began searching for someone interested in buying his ranch. In 1874 he mortgaged his property to William Knapp for $3,000. To pay off this debt he borrowed $5000 in gold from Archibald Stewart in August 1879. Gass had expected a good harvest that year but bad weather destroyed much of his crop.Gass received a 9-month extension but was still unable to pay his debt. As a result, Stewart foreclosed on May 2, 1881. Later life
Gass and his family left Las Vegas in June 1881 with their personal possessions and 1,500 head of cattle. They drove the cattle to Pomona, California and sold them to Richard Gird, who was looking for cattle to stock the Rancho Santa Ana del Chino. He then moved to near White Water, California where he tried growing grapes. Winds and lack of water thwarted his efforts however. Beginning in 1884, Gass joined several groups of prospectors exploring various locations in eastern San Bernardino County, California and Baja California.Shortly after 1900, <mask> joined his son Fenton in Bryn Mawr, California. There he helped with his son's orange orchard and tended a small garden. <mask> died in Bryn Mawr on December 10, 1924  He was buried at Redlands, California's Hillside Cemetery in the Masonic Plot. Gass Peak, the southernmost peak in the Las Vegas Range, and Gass Avenue, a street in Downtown Las Vegas were named in his honor. Notes

His greatest works were within the Jewish community where he was the Baghdadi Jews of Singapore's most generous benefactor. Jews responsible for erecting Singapore's two synagogues — Maghain Aboth Synagogue and Chesed-El Synagogue. Chesed-El, his personal favourite, was opened in 1905 for the use of his family and others Baghdadi Jewish families.

<mask> is an American singer-songwriter from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, United States. His first release, in 1995, was a cassette titled My Luck, My Love. He has since released six studio LPs; two live albums, a cover album (Recovered); three EPs; and an LP with The River Bends—a side project consisting of members of the Philadelphia-based alt-country band One Star Hotel. <mask>'s 2005 album, Are You a Dreamer?, produced by Don Peris of The Innocence Mission and featuring Sufjan Stevens, received acclaim, including positive reviews from Pitchfork Media and Entertainment Weekly. <mask> and Stevens appeared on Rosie Thomas's 2007 album These Friends of Mine, an album which included Rosie Thomas' version of Paper Doll, a track originally written and recorded by <mask>. <mask> toured with Rosie Thomas in support of that album in venues across the US and Europe. <mask>'s style has been described as "neo-folk."He has also been compared to 1970s-era singer-songerwriters, including Cat Stevens and Nick Drake. <mask>'s lyrics are poetic and thoughtful; his guitar work, while simple-sounding, relies on complex fingerpicking. Early life

<mask> <mask> was born and raised in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He was raised Mennonite and attended Lancaster Mennonite School. His guitar teacher was Don Peris. Before becoming a full-time musician, <mask> worked in the greenhouse which his family owned. <mask>'s and all of his brothers' full names have the initials "DSW."Career

 album was given to family and friends. Though My Luck, My Love is <mask>'s first release, he does not view it as his true debut but as the extension of a hobby. Safe Away
<mask> released his first album Safe Away in 1998. The album, produced by Don Peris, was first self-released by <mask>. He began playing shows in an effort to sell the one thousand copies produced.The album sold out, and indie label Burnt Toast Vinyl approached <mask>, asking to re-release it. Safe Away received a positive review from Allmusic: "<mask> proceeds through the setlist with the confidence and generosity of a seasoned songwriter, despite the journal-like candor of his lyrics." Of Joy and Sorrow
Of Joy & Sorrow was released in 2001. <mask> attempted to make the album more accessible and straightforward than his first: "I feel a little bit more tangible, I feel a little less obscure. It's not another record about breaking up with someone. It's not another record about losing that one particular person." Concerning the album's influences, he noted, "I was listening to a lot of ‘70s singer/songwriter stuff like Jackson Brown and Carol King and Neil Young and Van Morrison and I was going for a little bit of that style."The title Of Joy & Sorrow comes from The Prophet by Khalil Gibran: "Then a woman said, Speak to us of Joy and Sorrow. And he answered: [...] Some of you say, 'Joy is greater than sorrow,' and others say, 'Nay, sorrow is the greater.' But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed. Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy." <mask> stated, "I

 want to experience every emotion as fully as possible. [...] Sorrow has encouraged me to never take my joy for granted."Philadelphia Songs
<mask> released his third album, Philadelphia Songs, in 2002. The album was influenced by <mask>'s experience moving from a small town to a big city for the first time. <mask> had a difficult time adjusting to having most of his time taken up by an office job and losing inspiration, and the album was about the ups and downs of young adult life and. Whereas Safe Away was guitar and vocals and Of Joy & Sorrow was more orchestrated, <mask> stated that Philadelphia Songs strikes a balance between his first two albums: “I just feel like I accomplished something that I’ve been trying to accomplish for a while.”

The album was produced by Blake Wescott and features instrumental work by The Six Parts Seven. Recovered
<mask> released a covers album titled Recovered in 2003. Are You a Dreamer? <mask>'s fifth album, Are You a Dreamer?, was released in 2005.It was produced by Don Peris who, along with Karen Peris, contributed instrumental and vocal work. Are You a Dreamer? received a B+ review score from Entertainment Weekly: “His brand of happy anachronism is easy enough to fall into — if you can slow down long enough to enjoy it.”

In 2006, The Militia Group label re-issued his first album Safe Away as a special two-disc edition with new artwork and a bonus EP. On his 30th birthday in November 2006, <mask> began offering 30 of his songs (and 3 "bonus" songs) for free on a website called Happy Birthday Denison.

The Ones Who Wait was first available in 2011 under the Mono Vs Stereo label. It received a wider release in 2012 after <mask> signed with Asthmatic Kitty Records.

A desire to take hold of what’s happening in your life, yet trusting the mystery of it enough to let go and participate rather than dictate." The album grew from an EP to a full-length album, described by <mask> as an "accidental record." It was influenced by landmarks in <mask>'s life, including his marriage, his father's death, and his first child's birth. CJ Camerieri, Devin Greenwood, James McAlister, Charles Staub, and Rosie Thomas contributed to The Ones Who Wait. Discography

<mask> (1771–1798),  was an Irish sailor, glazier, artist, and portrait painter, notorious for role as a government informer during the political turmoil of the 1790s. Shortly after joining the republican Society of United Irishmen in 1796 he offered his services to the Crown authorities. Following the publication of a confessional autobiography, in 1798 he disappeared amidst rumours of assassination. Early life
<mask> was born in Downpatrick on 29 June 1771 to parents Robert and <mask>. He was of Scottish ancestry. As a child, he was prone to misbehavior. In his youth, <mask> put up a false facade in front of his friends to hide who he really was to them.Aynsworth Pilson wrote in his memoirs, that <mask>'s parents lived in Dublin before they moved back to Downpatrick. Pilson also wrote that <mask> ran a perfumery in Dublin, and that <mask> operated a millinery business. When Newell was seventeen, his father was seriously injured in a horse accident while he was away on business. <mask>'s mother left <mask> in charge of the house while she attended to Robert. <mask> later abandoned his younger brother and the house to visit his sick father at his uncle's home. His mother, who never showed much affection for Newell, was not pleased to see her son turn up. Employment
After the falling out with his mother, he sought work.<mask> met Captain <mask>, who enlisted <mask> as a seaman. <mask> soon left port for Cadiz, Spain. For about one year, <mask> was at sea; he later described some of the hardships of that experience, including "a most dreadful storm" and living for six weeks "on raw meat, lying in wet clothes, and constantly working at our pumps." After returning home to Dublin and telling his father of his voyage, his father asked <mask> to settle down and found him employment in a painting and glazing business, which <mask> wrote that he begrudgingly followed for about a year until his "usual licentiousness occasioned a difference" with his employer. <mask>

 soon became a glass-stainer for the next two years, before a falling out with his employer and his father. Following an failed attempt to emigrate to America, he moved on to Limerick and Dublin, trying to find a job but never holding one down for long. He found himself in almost complete poverty, and when he asked his parents for assistance, he was denied due to his enthusiastic support of the United Irishmen.In 1796, <mask> moved to Belfast, where he started his own portrait and miniature painting business. <mask> had never attempted miniature painting before, and he had received no instruction in the vocation. Two of <mask>'s known paintings are a self-portrait that he included in his later biography, and a portrait of Betsy Gray, who fought and died at the Battle of Ballynahinch. Informer among the United Irishmen
<mask> officially joined the Society of United Irishmen in 1796. <mask> neglected his business due to his over-enthusiasm for the United Irishmen, and he quickly began to raise the movement leaders' suspicions. His younger brother, Robert (not a United Irishman), described <mask> as being "in the practice of going through the town of Belfast disguised in the dress of a light horseman, with his face blackened and accompanied by a guard of soldiers, pointing out certain individuals who have in consequence been immediately apprehended and put in prison". Through his business, he became acquainted with George Murdoch, and Newell painted the interiors and exteriors of Murdoch's house.Murdoch and <mask> were opposites politically; their association increased distrust of <mask> within the United Irishmen. <mask> hired guards to protect Murdoch's house because of their friendship. <mask> later wrote that Murdoch informed him that he know that <mask> was a rebel. However, <mask>'s 1843 biographer, Madden, wrote that "he betrayed the secrets of the United Irish Society professedly to prevent the murder of an exciseman named Murdock". Under-Secretary of

 State for Ireland <mask> brought <mask> to Dublin Castle to be questioned. <mask> wrote that he was given a good reception and treated well and that he was even offered wine. <mask> asked to be pardoned in exchange for his knowledge, which the Lord Lieutenant granted him in writing.Cooke initially questioned <mask> for nine hours. <mask> was examined by a secret committee of the Irish House of Commons in early 1797, where he was put on a high chair in order to be heard better by his audience. <mask> later admitted that he deliberately exaggerated and fabricated his testimony in order to scare the committee. In 1798 <mask> pretended that he showed remorse for his treachery and for making many enemies. Soon after, he told Cooke that he no longer wanted to be a spy. It was decided that he should move to Worcester under the false name of <mask>, where he would resume his painting career. Portrait of Betsy Gray

Among "Other Stories and pictures of '98", the Mourne Observer reproduces "a miniature of Betsy Gray" which was attributed (possibly apocryphally) to "Newell of Downpatrick".This miniature of Betsy Gray, which is in the possession of Mr. C. J. Robb, Spa, was first published in the 1920's in a booklet "Out in '98".It was reproduced from a painting by a man called <mask> of Downpatrick, who posed as a United Irishman prior to 1798, but who was, in fact, in the pay of the Government. According to a number of published accounts (some contemporary) and to popular ballads, Elizabeth, "Betsy" or "Bessie" Gray, was the daughter of a County Down Presbyterian farmer, and a "wondrous beauty" (the "Pride of Down"), killed by government Yeomanry following the rout of the United Irish host a Ballynahinch. She is depicted as riding into the fray carrying the green rebel flag, and being subsequently executed by "Yeos" (her "glove hand" severed, and shot through the head) alongside her brother George and "her sweetheart, Willie Boal". No connection appears to be drawn

 between her fate and <mask>'s treachery. In the years that followed "a rough map representing the battle scene" with Gray "mounted on a pony and bearing a green flag" was reportedly "seen hanging in many a cottage". Autobiography
Shortly after Cooke interviewed <mask> for the last time, <mask> published The Life and Confessions of <mask>, the Informer, his autobiography, which was claimed to be printed in London but was really printed in Belfast in private by printer <mask>. <mask> wrote his autobiography during his hiding-out period in Doagh, a few miles from Belfast.<mask> claimed that £2,000 was given to him as a reward for causing 227 innocent men to be confined to cells, bastilles, or tender holds, and that many of the men died in confinement. He also acknowledged that one of his victims, the Rev. Sinclair Kelburn, was barely known to Newell save for a brief conversation they had on the street. <mask>'s book was dedicated to <mask>, 1st Earl of Clare, and contained a self-portrait. <mask>'s book had a large sale and it gained much attention. Attempted escape and disappearance
<mask> began an affair with the wife of his friend George Murdoch while he was in Belfast Lough. <mask> persuaded her to leave her husband and to move near his own house.Twelve days later, <mask> found that a ship that would take him to America was nearby on the Lough, so he wrote to George Murdoch telling him his wife's whereabouts and of her decision to return to him. <mask> most likely did not move to America, as there are several differing accounts of his death in 1798 at the age of 27. These accounts of <mask>'s death all share one thing in common: that the United Irishmen assassinated him. Madden records that around 1828, partly uncovered human bones that are said to be of <mask> <mask> were found on the beach of Ballyholme, Bangor, County Down, indicating that he drowned there.

Midway through his first season in the Croatian first division, the country's top clubs Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split became interested in signing <mask> and his Šibenik teammate Ante Rukavina. It first seemed likely that <mask> and Rukavina would move to Hajduk together, but then Dinamo entered the race for the two players. In the end, on 2 January 2007, <mask> moved to Dinamo while Rukavina joined archrivals Hajduk.Despite only having five months of top-flight experience at the time, <mask> quickly managed to establish himself as a regular at Dinamo and helped the club winning both Croatian league and cup titles, also netting the crucial away goal against Slaven Belupo in the second leg of the cup final. In the first part of the 2007–08 season, <mask> was also one of the regulars in Dinamo's UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup campaign, appearing in five Champions League qualifying matches and four UEFA Cup matches before the club was knocked out of the latter competition in the group stage. <mask> became an unlucky figure in Dinamo's 2–1 defeat at Norwegian side Brann in their second match in the UEFA Cup group stage, causing a penalty and being sent off for a professional foul in the final moments of the first half. He missed the last two group matches, against Hamburger SV and Rennes, because of the red card. Beşiktaş
Although he was initially set to stay at Dinamo Zagreb, <mask> was signed by Turkish top club Beşiktaş under unexpected circumstances on 1 February 2008. Beşiktaş were actually ready to sign <mask>'s teammate Dino Drpić, but the deal fell through due to Drpić's behaviour after a Croatian league match

<mask> (; ; c. 495 – 429 BC) was a Greek politician  and general during the Golden Age of Athens. He was prominent and influential in Athenian politics, particularly between the Greco-Persian Wars and the Peloponnesian War, and was acclaimed by Thucydides, a contemporary historian, as "the first citizen of Athens". <mask> turned the Delian League into an Athenian empire and led his countrymen during the first two years of the Peloponnesian War. The period during which he led Athens, roughly from 461 to 429 BC, is sometimes known as the "Age of Pericles", but the period thus denoted can include times as early as the Persian Wars or as late as the following century. <mask> promoted the arts and literature, and it is principally through his efforts that Athens acquired the reputation of being the educational and cultural center of the ancient Greek world. He started an ambitious project that generated most of the surviving structures on the Acropolis, including the Parthenon. This project beautified and protected the city, exhibited its glory and gave work to its people.<mask> also fostered Athenian democracy to such an extent that critics called him a populist. <mask> was descended, through his mother, from the powerful and historically-influential Alcmaeonid family. He, along with several members of his family, succumbed to the Plague of Athens in 429 BC, which weakened the city-state during a protracted conflict with Sparta. Early years

<mask> was born c. 495 BC, in Athens, Greece. He was the son of the politician Xanthippus, who, though ostracized in 485–484 BC, returned to Athens to command the Athenian

texts: contingent in the Greek victory at Mycale just five years later. <mask>' mother, Agariste, was a member of the powerful and controversial noble family of the Alcmaeonidae, and her familial connections played a crucial role in helping start Xanthippus' political career. Agariste was the great-granddaughter of the tyrant of Sicyon, Cleisthenes, and the niece of the Athenian reformer Cleisthenes.According to Herodotus and Plutarch, Agariste dreamed, a few nights before <mask>' birth, that she had borne a lion. Legends say that Philip II of Macedon had a similar dream before the birth of his son, Alexander the Great. One interpretation of the dream treats the lion as a traditional symbol of greatness, but the story may also allude to the unusually large size of <mask>' skull, which became a popular target of contemporary comedians (who called him "Squill-head", after the squill or sea-onion). Although Plutarch claims that this deformity was the reason that <mask> was always depicted wearing a helmet, this is not the case; the helmet was actually the symbol of his official rank as strategos (general). <mask> belonged to the tribe of Acamantis (). His early years were quiet; the introverted young <mask> avoided public appearances, instead preferring to devote his time to his studies. His family's nobility and wealth allowed him to fully pursue his inclination toward education.He learned music from the masters of the time (Damon or Pythocleides could have been his teacher) and he is considered to have been the first politician to attribute importance to philosophy. He enjoyed the company of the philosophers Protagoras,

Anaxagoras, in particular, became a close friend and influenced him greatly. <mask>' manner of thought and rhetorical charisma may have possibly been in part products of Anaxagoras' emphasis on emotional calm in the face of trouble, and skepticism about divine phenomena. His proverbial calmness and self-control are also often regarded as products of Anaxagoras' influence. Political career until 431 BC

In the spring of 472 BC, <mask>lus at the Greater Dionysia as a liturgy, demonstrating that he was one of the wealthier men of Athens. Simon Hornblower has argued that <mask>' selection of this play, which presents a nostalgic picture of Themistocles' famous victory at Salamis, shows that the young politician was supporting Themistocles against his political opponent Cimon, whose faction succeeded in having Themistocles ostracized shortly afterward.Plutarch says that <mask> stood first among the Athenians for forty years. If this was so, <mask> must have taken up a position of leadership by the early 460s BC in his early or mid-thirties. Throughout these years he endeavored to protect his privacy and to present himself as a model for his fellow citizens. For example, he would often avoid banquets, trying to be frugal. In 463 BC, <mask> was the leading prosecutor of Cimon, the leader of the conservative faction who was accused of neglecting Athens' vital interests in Macedon. Although Cimon was acquitted, this confrontation proved that <mask>' major political opponent was vulnerable. Ostracizing Cimon

The Ecclesia (the Athenian Assembly) adopted Ephialtes' proposal without opposition. This reform signaled the beginning of a new era of "radical democracy". The democratic party gradually became dominant in Athenian politics, and <mask> seemed willing to follow a populist policy to cajole the public. According to Aristotle, <mask>' stance can be explained by the fact that his principal political opponent, Cimon, was both rich and generous, and was able to gain public favor by lavishly handing out portions of his sizable personal fortune. The historian Loren J. Samons II argues, however, that <mask> had enough resources to make a political mark by private means, had he so chosen. In 461 BC, <mask> achieved the political elimination of this opponent using ostracism.The accusation was that Cimon betrayed his city by aiding Sparta. After Cimon's ostracism, <mask> continued to promote a populist social policy. He first proposed a decree that permitted the poor to watch theatrical plays without paying, with the state covering the cost of their admission. With other decrees he lowered the property requirement for the archonship in 458–457 BC and bestowed generous wages on all citizens who served as jurymen in the Heliaia (the supreme court of Athens) some time just after 454 BC. His most controversial measure, however, was a law of 451 BC limiting Athenian

Constantine Paparrigopoulos, a major modern Greek historian, argues that <mask> sought for the expansion and stabilization of all democratic institutions.Accordingly, he enacted legislation granting the lower classes access to the political system and the public offices, from which they had previously been barred. According to Samons, <mask> believed that it was necessary to raise the demos, in which he saw an untapped source of Athenian power and the crucial element of Athenian military dominance. (The fleet, backbone of Athenian power since the days of Themistocles, was manned almost entirely by members of the lower classes.) Cimon, in contrast, apparently believed that no further free space for democratic evolution existed. He was certain that democracy had reached its peak and <mask>' reforms were leading to the stalemate of populism. According to Paparrigopoulos, history vindicated Cimon, because Athens, after <mask>' death, sank into the abyss of political turmoil and demagogy. Paparrigopoulos maintains that an unprecedented regression descended upon the city, whose glory perished as a result of <mask>' populist policies.According to another historian, Justin Daniel King, radical democracy benefited people individually, but harmed the state. In contrast, Donald Kagan asserts that the democratic measures <mask> put into effect provided the basis for an unassailable political strength. After all, Cimon finally accepted the new
