<mask> (pseudonym Grace Greenwood) (née Clarke; September 23, 1823 – April 20, 1904) was an American author, poet, correspondent, lecturer, and newspaper founder. One of the first women to gain access into the Congressional press galleries, she used her questions to advocate for social reform and women's rights. Her best known books for children are entitled, History of My Pets (1850); Recollections of My Childhood (1851); Stories of Many Lands (1866); Merrie England (1854); Bonnie Scotland (1861); Stories and Legends of Travel and History; Stories and Sights of France and Italy (1867). The volumes for older readers are two series of collected prose writings, Greenwood Leaves (1849, 1851); Poems (1850); Haps and Mishaps of a Tour in Europe (1852); A Forest Tragedy (1856); A Record of Five Years (1867); New Life in New Lands (1873); Victoria, Queen of England. This last was published, in 1883, by Anderson & Allen of New York, and Sampson, Low & Marston, London. <mask> was connected as editor and contributor with various American magazines, as well as weekly and daily papers. <mask> also wrote much for London journals, especially for All the Year Round.For several years, she lived almost wholly in Europe, for the benefit of her greatly impaired health and for the education of her daughter. When she returned to the United States, she lived in Washington D.C. and then New York. She was a prominent member of the literary society of New York along with Anne Lynch Botta, Edgar Allan Poe, Margaret Fuller, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Horace Greeley, Richard Henry Stoddard, Andrew Carnegie, Mary Mapes Dodge, Julia Ward Howe, Charles Butler, Fitz-Greene Halleck, Delia Bacon, and Bayard Taylor, among others. Early years and education
<mask> Clarke was born on September 23, 1823, at Pompey, New York to parents Deborah Baker Clarke (c. 1791–1874) and Dr. Thaddeus C. Clarke (1770–1854), a grandson of Princeton President Jonathan Edwards. [Actually Thaddeus was a grandson of Rev. Jonathan Edwards' sister Elizabeth, and the second cousin of Aaron Burr.] Fearless, at ten years of age, she rode a bare-backed horse, standing on his back.At the age of twelve, she went to school in Rochester, New York living with her older brother. There was nothing remarkable about her education, but she did study Italian, algebra, calculus, English and French history, though literature was her delight, and it became evident that writing was her vocation. At the age of sixteen, she was providing "fresh, piquant, racy" pieces to the Rochester papers. She removed with her family in 1842 to New Brighton, Pennsylvania, where her father practiced as a physician, and which she considered to be her home time for the rest of her life. There, she attended the Greenwood Institute, a ladies' academy, from which she may have taken her pseudonym. She left school at the age of nineteen. Career

Poet, writer, correspondent
Not long after she returned home, in 1845 and 1846, she started writing using the pen name, Grace Greenwood.The earliest writing of <mask> was in the form of poetry and children's stories, which she published in local papers. In 1844, she drew national attention, at age 21, with a poem published in the New York Mirror,  then under the editorship of George Pope Morris and Nathaniel Parker Willis. Soon after, she was writing for the Home Journal and other literary magazines of the day, under both her given name and her pseudonym. In the February 14, 1846 issue of the Home Journal, The Wife's Appeal, a poem by <mask>. Clarke, is published just above Tit-for-Tat, a story by Grace Greenwood. By October 1849, Godey's Lady's Book listed her as an assistant editor and she was also editor of Godey's Dollar Newspaper. For six or eight years, her summer home was New Brighton. In winter, she was in Philadelphia, Washington D.C., New York City, writing for Whittier, or for Willis and Morris, or for Neal's Gazette, or for Godey.<mask> was the first "lady correspondent" in Washington, D.C., beginning her work in that line with letters to a Philadelphia paper in 1850. That year, many of her early sketches and letters were collected and republished by Ticknor & Fields under the name of Greenwood Leaves. She would go on to become a correspondent for the Saturday Evening Post. She was a highly respected journalist and consistently argued for the reform of women's roles and rights. She joined the National Era, a weekly abolitionist newspaper, and copyedited the serialized original version of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin as well as writing columns, travel letters, and articles. Her staunch abolitionist views contributed to the ongoing national controversy. <mask>'s poetry received significant critical attention.A published collection, Poems (1851), included passionate poetry and references to her intimate friendship to Anna Phillips,  indicating an acceptance of intimate same sex friendships. Also that year, she published History of My Pets. Sophia Hawthorne wrote that her husband, the author Nathaniel Hawthorne, considered it "the best children's book he has ever seen". In 1853, she made her first visit to Europe, on an assignment for The New York Times, having the distinction of being the first woman reporter on the Times payroll. She spent a little over a year abroad, which, in the dedication to her daughter of one of her juvenile books, she calls "the golden year of her life". Her accounts of her travels were well-received contributions to literature of the day. The correspondence was collected immediately after her return, and published under the title of Haps and Mishaps of a Tour in Europe.Upon her return, she also made frequent excursions into California, writing vivid  descriptions of the land. In the fall of 1855, she published Merrie England, the first of a series of books of foreign travel for children. Nathaniel Hawthorne criticized her travel letters, calling her an "ink-stained woman" and claiming he could do as well. Despite this, <mask> seems to have gotten along amiably with Hawthorne's family. She dedicated her children's book Recollections of My Childhood, and Other Stories to his children Julian and Una Hawthorne. Publisher

On October 17, 1853, she married Leander K<mask>, of Philadelphia, who was a correspondent for several New York papers. That year, <mask> and her husband started The Little Pilgrim, a monthly American children's magazine devoted to the amusement, instruction, and well-being of children.She was soon producing magazine articles and essays, her contributions conveying historical and biographical information. In this paper, Louisa May Alcott made her debut as a writer of children's stories. Collected from time to time, and published by Ticknor & Fields, they made a juvenile library numbering nearly a dozen volumes, remarkable for the felicitous manner in which they conveyed historical information. On October 3, 1855, they had a daughter, Annie Grace. In the spring of 1856, a volume, entitled A Forest Tragedy, and other Tales, appeared; and in the fall of 1857, Stories and Legends of History and Travel, was the second of her travel series. Activist
Distinguishing herself as a lecturer on literary topics, <mask> also lectured extensively before and during the Civil War on her abolitionist stance and to other social issues, such as prison and asylum reform, as well as the abolition of capital punishment. During the war, <mask> was a lecturer to soldiers and at sanitary fairs.President Abraham Lincoln referred to her as  "Grace Greenwood the Patriot". However, women's rights became the focus of her speeches, particularly after the war. Her writings from this period were republished in Records of Five Years (1867). By the 1870s, <mask> wrote primarily for the New York Times. Her articles focused mainly on women's issues, such as advocating for Fanny Kemble's right to wear trousers, Susan B. Anthony's right to vote and all women's right to receive equal pay for equal work. London and Capitol Hill

The marriage was not a happy union. After her husband fled the United States in 1876 to escape prosecution for misappropriation of government funds, <mask> continued her writing and resumed lecturing in order to support herself and her daughter, who trained for a career on the stage.By 1879, <mask> was residing in London, having moved to Europe with her daughter. For the ten years preceding this,
she had done most work and won most distinction in journalism, principally in articles contributed from Washington, to the New York Tribune and the New York Times, on national and political questions, which she has handled in a patriotic way, showing an unusual knowledge of political history and of the construction, principles and tactics of the two opposing parties of the United States and time. She had also contributed to the New York Times, and a leading California journal, several series of letters from Europe—principally from London. She worked for the London Journal, and also wrote a biography, Queen Victoria: Her Girlhood and Womanhood (1883). In 1887, she returned to the United States and continued to work. In 1895, she was living on Capitol Hill with her daughter, and was engaged upon the piece, "Recollections of Washington". But as much as she loved the capitol city, her health was better when she was abroad.Death and legacy
<mask> later lived with her daughter in New Rochelle, New York, where she died of bronchitis on April 20, 1904. <mask> is buried in the Civil War section of Grove Cemetery in New Brighton. Her obituary was on the front page of the New York Times, "proving  her importance as a literary figure in the nineteenth century". Style and phases
<mask>'s style was something quite new, characterized as "brilliant, picturesque, piquante, every line sparkled; the words seemed to bound rather than flow from her pen". Her writings displayed a charm of style which was evident in the best American works of the mid 19th-century but was so seldom seen thirty years later. The language was redundant, but not over-laden; picturesque, without any effort to be so. A letter-writer, she charmed a million readers by the piquant dash and spicy flavor of her style.There appear in the writings of <mask> three phases of development, three epochs of a literary career. The first lasted from the days of the boarding-school till marriage, —from the first merry chit-chat and Greenwood Leaves, to the full-rounded, mellow prime, as displayed in the letters from Europe. Then follows a decade, during which story-writing for children principally occupied her pen. With the Civil War commenced the third period, years "vexed with the drums and tramplings," the struggles of middle life.

title: Segundo Montes

texts:
<mask>  (May 15, 1933 in Valladolid, Spain – November 16, 1989 in San Salvador, El Salvador) was a scholar, philosopher, educator, sociologist and Jesuit priest. He was one of the victims of the 1989 murders of Jesuits in El Salvador. Biography
<mask> grew up in Valladolid, Spain, where he also went to secondary school until 1950. On August 15, 1950, he entered the novitiate of the Society of Jesus in Orduña. After a year there, he moved to Santa Tecla in El Salvador under the mentorship of Miguel Elizondo, who described him as an adolescent who hit the football so hard against the wall of the Iglesia El Carmen that he rattled the roof tiles. When he fulfilled his studies in the novitiate in 1952, he followed the steps of other Jesuit students in Central America and moved to Quito to study classical humanities at the Catholic University. In 1954, he began studies in philosophy, fulfilling his licenciatura (licenciate) in 1957.He then returned to San Salvador to teach at the school Externado San José. In 1960, he returned to university to study theology. He started in Oña, where he lived for a year. He later moved to Innsbruck, where he completed the three remaining years of studies. He was ordained a priest July 25, 1963. He returned to Externado San José as a teacher and was naturalised as a Salvadoran citizen. <mask> <mask> spent most of his time in the school Externado San José or in Universidad Centroamericana "José Simeón Cañas" (UCA).He worked for two periods in Externado; from 1957 to 1960 and 1966 to 1976. He taught physics for many years, and he was responsible for the laboratories in the school. He was a Prefect of Discipline and Administrative Director. In between 1973 and 1976, he was Rector of Externado San José, which was precisely a moment when the school was going through a deep identity crisis. The consequences of the Second Vatican Council and the Episcopal Conference of Medellín had made Externado San José express a preference for the poor and to prioritize education that contributed to modify the social differences in El Salvador. This sort of discourse was not well received by the Salvadoran elites, who had been traditionally served by Externado San José. <mask> <mask> handled this crisis in a constructive way.He was very popular among students and he had many friends. This changed, however, as the political environment in El Salvador became more polarized later in the 1970s. He was not singled out in propagandistic government pamphlets against critical intellectuals until towards the end of his life, when his name started figuring in the lists of Jesuits who were accused of being revolutionaries. His name was commonly the third one after Ignacio Ellacuría and Ignacio Martín-Baró. Gradually <mask> <mask> started assuming more responsibilities in UCA as a lecturer in social sciences. For a period, he worked as a Dean in the Faculty of Natural Sciences. To prepare himself for academia, he travelled to Spain, and in 1978 he completed a PhD in Social Anthropology in Universidad Complutense in Madrid.His dissertation was about "compadrazgo" relationships in El Salvador. His field work included interviews that he performed on weekends in the western part of the country. He returned to teach Sociology in UCA, and starting in 1980, he was the head of the Department of Political Sciences and Sociology. Between 1978 and 1982, he was a member of the editorial board in the academic journal Estudios Centroamericanos (ECA). He was also a member of the editorial board of the Boletín de Ciencias Económicas y Sociales and the journal Realidad Económico Social. He was a regular contributor to these journals. He also gave many lectures for national institutes, colleges, worker's unions, cooperatives and political parties.He was also a member of the board of directors in UCA. He headed the team of lawyers who put together UCA's law study program. Beginning in 1984, he headed the research project on Salvadoran refugees. Toward the end of the 1980s, he was the managing director of the human rights institution he founded: Instituto de Derechos Humanos de la UCA (IDHUCA), and before his death, he was preparing the program for the master's degree in sociology. A prolific writer, <mask> <mask> left behind a series of articles and books. From 1982 and onwards he wrote at least one book a year. He wrote mostly in Spanish, and so far none of his works originally in Spanish have been translated to English.However, his research on refugees, displaced people and human rights made him well-known internationally. He visited Washington, D.C., on repeated occasions, to testify in the corresponding committees in the United States Congress, to defend the rights of Salvadoran refugees. His last trip to Washington was in early November 1989. In one of the halls of Congress, the organisation CARECEN (an organisation for the assistance of refugees) granted him a prize for defending the rights of Salvadorans. Social anthropology

<mask> <mask> did research and wrote on social stratification, land ownership, the possibilities for democracy and the military. His work on these issues is still a dominant influence on the theoretical frameworks employed by researchers to analyse Salvadoran society. His work is referenced in studies of power distribution and the effects of emigration on Salvadoran society.His published articles included an analysis of economic, political, and other motives for Salvadoran emigration to the United States. It addressed claims by the United States government that Salvadoran immigrants were economic refugees who therefore did not qualify for political asylum. The political implications of <mask>' commitment to his ideas met strong opposition from the conservative religious and political forces in El Salvador. This opposition led to <mask>' murder by the Salvadoran Army in 1989 at his residence in UCA along with five other fellow Jesuit priests (among them Ignacio Ellacuría and Ignacio Martín-Baró) and two employees. Their murders marked a turning point in the Salvadoran civil war (see History of El Salvador). It increased international pressures on the Salvadoran government to sign the Chapultepec Peace Accords with the guerrillas. See also

He played for the national under 19 schools team in 2003. After school <mask> played for Havelock Sports Club.

He was planning to make a comeback in 2012 when he was killed. <mask> worked in the travel/tourism industry, at Mackinnons American Express Travel between 2003 and 2011 and at Citrus Vacations from 2011 till his death. Death
<mask> was killed on 17 May 2012 following what appeared to be a car crash. He was 28.According to the police <mask> had been driving to the airport when, around 1.00am, he lost control of his car and crashed into the wall of the Shalika grounds on Park Road, Narahenpita, resulting in the car exploding. <mask> was buried in the grounds of Dehiwala Mosque. It has been alleged that before his death he was in conflict with a 'young politician', likely Namal Rajapaksa, of the Rajapaksa administration over the acquisition of the Havelock Sports Club. The death was surrounded by mystery with wild rumours and speculations. There are allegations that <mask> was killed following a dispute with people related to a powerful member of the Rajapaksa government. Investigations
In February 2015, following a change in government, the police announced that <mask>'s death was not accidental and that the investigation had been handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). According to the police the Judicial Medical Officer (JMO) had found the death to be suspicious.In May 2015 the Colombo Additional Magistrate ordered the JMO to hand over to the CID all photographs and notes relating to Thajudeen's death. The CID informed the magistrate in June 2015 that the post mortem and the Government Analyst's (GA) report were contradictory and that they had asked the Attorney General for instructions as to how to proceed. The magistrate ordered the four JMOs who visited the scene of the accident and conducted the post mortem to hand over their reports to the court. He also ordered mobile phone operators and the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission to hand over call records for 17 May 2012 for Thajudeen's mobile phone. In July 2015 Dialog Telekom informed the magistrate that they could not retrieve Thajudeen's mobile phone records due to "technical and practical limitation". The CID informed the magistrate on 27 July 2015 that Thajudeen had been murdered. According to the CID Thajudeen's body showed signs of torture: his teeth and pelvic bones had been broken, his ribs had been fractured, his neck had been pierced with a sharp instrument and the muscles in his legs had been cut with a piece of broken glass.There were also signs that he had been assaulted with a blunt instrument. On 6 August 2015 the magistrate ordered the JMOs to exhume <mask>'s body on 10 August 2015. In the meantime, his grave is being given protection to prevent any tampering. In 2015 when <mask>'s death was mentioned by a UNP MP Mujibur Rahuman in the parliament several UPFA members from Rajapaksa government obstructed him and threatened him. UPFA MPs Johnston Fernando, Indika Anuruddha and Sanath Nishantha surrounded him and stopped him from delivering his speech allegedly making death threats. The police have claimed that the initial investigation into <mask>'s death was shelved due to political pressure. The CID has claimed that there had been attempts to hide evidence during the initial police investigation - the police deliberately failed to obtain CCTV footage, phone records and testimony from neighbours, security guards at Shalika grounds and fire fighters who attended the incident.The police also failed to investigate the fact that <mask>'s body was found on the passenger side of his car. The post mortem found carbon monoxide inside Thajudeen's lungs but the GA found no evidence of carbon monoxide. <mask>'s wallet was found, without any signs of being burnt, in Kirulapone a few days after his death. The Daily Mirror newspaper claims to have found an eyewitness to the incident who saw two Land Rover Defenders at the scene. According to government minister Rajitha Senaratne Thajudeen has been killed by three members of the Presidential Security Division (PSD). Former Senior DIG Anura Senanayake and former Narahenpita Crimes OIC Sumith Perera were remanded for their alleged involvement and the CID began investigating the phone calls of Damian Fernando who was the Nrahenpita OIC during the time of the crime. The investigations revealed that Damian Fernando received several calls from the Presidential Secretariat right after the crime.The PSD officers who served under former President Mahinda Rajapaksa are currently under investigation, for telephoning the former Narahenpita OIC. In September 2016 Senior State Counsel Dilan Ratnayake informed Court that investigations revealed that Carlton House of the Rajapaksa family in Hambantota had been included in the internal phone network connection of the Presidential Secretariat. It was also revealed that the former chief JMO Ananda Samarasekara had dispatched body parts of <mask> Thajudeen from the refrigerator a few days prior to his retirement and they are being investigated under the Public Property Act as the body parts had been taken into the former JMO's custody as case productions and, therefore belong to the state.

Music

The Coup

In 1991, <mask> founded the political hip-hop group The Coup with fellow United Parcel Service worker E-roc. Along with rappers Spice 1 and Mopreme Shakur (then known as Mocedes), they released a song on a 1991 compilation album called Dope Like a Pound or a Key, released by Wax That Azz Records. The group's DJ, Pam the Funkstress, joined in 1992. <mask> was both chief lyric writer and music producer of The Coup's albums. In 1992, The Coup signed to Wild Pitch Records/EMI.The group released their debut album Kill My Landlord in 1993. Two singles from that album were shown on national Black radio and received play on BET, Yo! MTV Raps: "Dig It" and "Not Yet Free". In 1993, E-40 released the video for "Practice Lookin' Hard", a song based around <mask>'s lyric, "I got a mirror in my pocket and I practice lookin' hard", from the song "Not Yet Free". The video featured <mask> singing the chorus while he, E-40, and Tupac Shakur reflected light into the camera from a handheld mirror while dancing around. In 1994, The Coup released their second album, Genocide & Juice. It featured guest appearances by E-40 and Spice-1.Fueled by video play and some radio play for the single "Fat Cats And Bigga Fish", the album shot up the charts, but stalled when EMI suddenly absorbed Wild Pitch. At this point, E-roc left The Coup on amicable terms. 1998's Steal This Album, released on indie label Dogday Records, was called "a masterpiece of slow-rolling West Coast funk" by Rolling Stone magazine. The single from that album, "Me And Jesus The Pimp In a ‘79 Granada Last Night", was an eight-minute song about the grown-up son of a prostitute driving his mother's killer to a secluded place in which to murder him. A novel, Too Beautiful For Words by Monique W. Morris, based on the story characters and descriptions in the song, was published by HarperCollins in 2000. The album also featured a guest appearance by Del The Funky Homosapien on the track "The Repo Man Sings for You". The group's fourth album, Party Music, was released on 75 Ark Records in 2001.It was re-released in 2005 by Epitaph Records. The original cover art depicted group members standing in front of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center as they explode. <mask> is depicted pushing a button on a bass guitar tuner and DJ Pam the Funkstress is shown holding conductor's wands. The photo was taken in May 2001. The album was scheduled to be released just after the September 11, 2001 attacks. In response to the uncanny similarity of the artwork with the attacks, the album release was delayed until an alternative cover could be prepared. The album hit No.8 in the 2001 Village Voice Pazz and Jop Poll- the most important year-end critic's list, was named "Pop Album Of The Year" by The Washington Post, and "Hip-Hop Album Of The Year" by Rolling Stone. The album included a guest appearance by dead prez on the song "Get Up." <mask> released a controversial press release one week after the 9/11 events, which was later published in the book, Another World Is Possible. The press release stated that "last week's events were symptomatic of a larger backlash against U.S. corporate imperialism." The controversy surrounding the cover art, press release, and the lyrics from Party Music (specifically the song "5 Million Ways To Kill A CEO") led to <mask> appearing on local network news affiliates all over the U.S. He also appeared on Fox News's Hannity and Colmes and ABC's Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher. During this time, conservative commentator Michelle Malkin called <mask>'s lyrics "a stomach-turning example of anti-Americanism disguised as highbrow intellectual expression".The Independent concluded it was "protest album of the year, by a million-man march." In 2006, The Coup released Pick a Bigger Weapon on Epitaph Records, featuring guest appearances by Tom Morello, Talib Kweli, Black Thought from The Roots, and Jello Biafra. Work with Tom Morello
In 2003, Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello invited <mask> to be part of the "Tell Us the Truth Tour", which was meant to shed light on the monopolization of the media and the coming FTAA agreements. The tour, hosted by Janeane Garofalo and Naomi Klein, featured acoustic performances by <mask>, Morello, Billy Bragg, Steve Earle, Mike Mills, and Jill Sobule. In 2006, Morello approached <mask> to form a band together under the name Street Sweeper. The duo, who later changed their name to Street Sweeper Social Club, releasing their self-titled debut album in 2009. They toured in support of it along with Nine Inch Nails and the recently reunited Jane's Addiction.On May 24, a press release went out announcing Street Sweeper Social Club as one of the headliners of the 2010 Rock the Bells tour. Street Sweeper Social Club released The Ghetto Blaster EP in late July 2010. Independent work
In 1991, the same year <mask> co-founded The Coup, he and other activists and hip-hop artists created the Mau Mau Rhythm Collective. The Collective put on "Hip-Hop Edutainment Concerts," which allied with and promoted the campaigns of community-based organizations like Women's Economic Agenda Project (WEAP), Copwatch, International Campaign To Free Geronimo Pratt, the Black Panther Alumni Association, and various anti-police brutality projects. The Collective would use the growing popularity of their concerts to bring a large number of youth to take over a closed Oakland city council meeting and hold a public meeting. In 2005, <mask> produced the score for an episode of The Simpsons entitled "Pranksta Rap". In 2007 and 2008, <mask> toured heavily with New Orleans-based band Galactic.The band performed The Coup songs behind <mask>'s vocals and they also performed their collaboration, "Hustle Up". In 2008, while performing with Galactic in Norfolk, VA, police interrupted the concert and <mask> was charged with using "abusive language"—a charge that hadn't been laid in 26 years, and never before against a performer. In 2010 and 2011, <mask> recorded with Ursus Minor on the album I Will Not Take "But" for an Answer, and toured with the group in France. Film and television
<mask> began working on a screenplay for "an absurdist dark comedy with aspects of magical realism and science fiction," inspired by his own time working as a telemarketer, which he finished in 2012. In 2017, he was able to begin production on his screenplay for Sorry to Bother You, directing it himself, with stars Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, and Steven Yeun. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 20, 2018, and was theatrically released in the United States on July 6, 2018, by Annapurna Pictures. The film received praise for its cast and concept, as well as <mask>'s screenplay and direction.In June 2020, he announced plans for a new TV series entitled I'm a Virgo, starring Jharrel Jerome. He had more recently signed a deal with Media Res. Activism
<mask> identifies as a communist. When E-Roc left The Coup in 1994, <mask> decided to stop making music in favor of forming an organization called The Young Comrades, with a few other radical, black community organizers including journalist and activist JR Valrey. The organization mounted a few important campaigns in Oakland which yielded some minor victories, such as the campaign against Oakland's "no cruising" ordinance. In 2000, <mask>, through his workshop on Art and Organizing at La Peña Cultural Center, led a group of young artists to create "Guerilla Hip-Hop Concerts" on a flatbed truck which traveled throughout Oakland to protest California's Proposition 21. The workshop also distributed tens of thousands free cassettes of "The Rumble", which he called "newspapers on tape.In 2002, <mask> taught a daily high school class, "Culture and Resistance: Persuasive Lyric Writing", at the School of Social Justice and Community Development in East Oakland. During the fall of 2011, <mask> became heavily involved with the Occupy Oakland movement. In 2018, he spoke at the Socialism 2018 conference. At the 34th Independent Spirit Awards in 2019, <mask> criticized U.S. involvement in the 2019 Venezuelan presidential crisis during his acceptance speech for the Best First Feature award for Sorry To Bother You. His speech, which was cut short, was delivered to the press. In February 2020, <mask> announced his support for Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders in the 2020 United States presidential election.

title: A. J. Greer

texts:
<mask> (born December 14, 1996) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward for the Utica Comets of the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract with the New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected in the second round, 39th overall, by the Colorado Avalanche in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. Playing career

Amateur
<mask> played minor ice hockey in West Lanaudière, and participated in the 2009 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with his youth team. <mask> first played midget hockey within Quebec helping Collège Esther-Blondin Phénix to a silver medal finish in the 2012 Telus Cup. In the QMAAA, <mask> contributed with 15 goals and 28 points in 42 games in the 2011–12 season, including scoring the game-winning goal to capture the Championship. He left his native Quebec to pursue a junior career in the United States, enrolling with Kimball Union Academy of New Hampshire. In his second scholastic season with Kimball, <mask> captained the hockey side, and led the team in scoring with 24 goals and 63 points in just 34 games.In the 2013–14 season, <mask> enjoyed a brief stint in the United States Hockey League with the Des Moines Buccaneers, recording 2 goals in as many games. Having previously committed with Boston University, <mask> would begin his collegiate career on acceleration in the 2014–15 season. In his freshman year, playing as the youngest forward in the NCAA, <mask> made his collegiate debut and scored a goal on October 10, 2014, against the University of Massachusetts. Initially placed in a depth forward role, <mask> saw his icetime increase by seasons end, using his size and physical play earning a place on a scoring line in the post-season. <mask> contributed with 3 goals and 7 points in 37 games as the Terriers finished as regular season champions and claimed the Hockey East mantle to clinch a Frozen Four berth. In his sophomore year, <mask> anticipated an increased role for the 2015–16 season. Unable to produce offensively and un-willing to accept reduced minutes in a checking-line role, <mask> opted to leave the Terriers after 18 games to further his development in his native Quebec, with the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies of the QMJHL on December 19, 2015.In joining the top ranked Huskies, <mask> immediately made an impact offensively, contributing with 16 goals in the final 33 regular season games. Placed on the top scoring line in the post-season and serving as an alternate captain, <mask> posted 22 points in just 20 games as the Huskies captured the QMJHL Championship before losing in the Memorial Cup final. Professional
In continuing his unorthodox development path, <mask> signalled the end of his brief QMJHL career to turn professional in signing a three-year, entry-level contract with the Colorado Avalanche on July 1, 2016. After attending his first training camp with the Avalanche and eligible to compete in the American Hockey League, <mask> was assigned to begin his rookie season with affiliate, the San Antonio Rampage. In the 2016–17 season, <mask> made his professional debut with the Rampage, scoring a goal in a 2–1 defeat to the Milwaukee Admirals on October 15, 2016. Making a seamless transition to the professional level, <mask> was leading the Rampage and all AHL rookies in scoring before he received his first recall to the Colorado Avalanche on November 12, 2016. He made his NHL debut with the Avalanche in a 2–0 defeat to the Boston Bruins on November 13, 2016.Following a brief return to San Antonio, <mask> returned to record his first NHL point, an assist on a Mikhail Grigorenko goal, in a 3–2 loss to the Dallas Stars on November 17, 2016. After his fifth game with the Avalanche, <mask> was returned to the Rampage and continued his scoring pace, earning a rookie record with an assist in seven straight games, tying a franchise record for all skaters. He was selected alongside Spencer Martin as San Antonio's representatives at the AHL All-Star Game. As the team struggled down the stretch of the regular season, <mask> appeared in 63 games for 38 points before injury concluded his rookie season. His contributions off the ice to the San Antonio community were recognized as he was awarded the Yanick Dupré Memorial Award as the AHL's Man of the Year. <mask> scored his first NHL on February 20, 2019, when he scored the last goal in the Avalanche's 7–1 win against the Winnipeg Jets. With 33.5 seconds left, <mask> jammed the puck in against Connor Hellebuyck.On October 19, 2019, in a game against the Milwaukee Admirals, <mask> was assessed 40 minutes of penalty time and suspended for six games after he left the penalty box to fight Admiral's defenseman, <mask> Tinordi. He was subsequently suspended six games. On October 11, 2020, having been unable to cement a role in the NHL with the Avalanche and looking for more opportunity, <mask> was traded by Colorado to the New York Islanders in exchange for Kyle Burroughs. As a restricted free agent, <mask> agreed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Islanders on October 27, 2020. In the pandemic-delayed 2020–21 season, <mask> was assigned by the Islanders to AHL affiliate, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers. In a slow start to the season, <mask> posted just one goal and two points in 10 games with the Sound Tigers before he was traded by the Islanders, along with <mask>, a 2021 first-round draft selection and a conditional 2022 fourth-round pick to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for Kyle Palmieri and Travis Zajac on April 7, 2021. He was immediately reassigned to continue in the AHL with the Binghamton Devils.Personal life
<mask> has been very upfront about his struggles with his mental health and emphasis that seeing a sports psychologist has helped him. He has also been an advocate for the NHL's "BellLetsTalk," program. On July 7, 2019, <mask> and then Columbus Blue Jackets forward Sonny Milano, were arrested in New York City for alleged assault. The alleged assault was reportedly over the victim demanding money after getting <mask> and Milano table service at a NYC night club. <mask> was not required to be present for his court date on September 4 and the charges were subsequently dropped in January 2020 after <mask> and Milano paid an undisclosed amount for the victims medical bills and completed community service.

title: Tom Strickland

texts:
<mask> (born May 16, 1952) is an American lawyer who was formerly chief of staff to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks in the Interior Department. <mask> served as United States Attorney for Colorado and was the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate for Colorado in 1996 and 2002. He joined WilmerHale as a partner in September, 2011. Early life and family
<mask> was born in Texas but attended Louisiana State University where he took a degree in English literature, with honors, and played football. He has three daughters, Lauren, Annie, and Caroline. Career

Education and early career
In 1977 he graduated with honors from the University of Texas School of Law then clerked for U.S. District Court Judge Carl Olaf Bue Jr. in the Southern District of Texas. Prior to his appointment as U.S. Attorney <mask> was associated for 15 years with what was then Brownstein, Hyatt, Farber & Strickland rising to named partner.The firm was a prominent Colorado law firm noted for its political connections. From 1982 to 1984 <mask> served as director of policy for Colorado Governor Richard Lamm, advising the governor on all policy and intergovernmental issues. He went on to serve and chair the Colorado Transportation Commission from 1985 to 1989. <mask> was, with Ken Salazar, one of the founders and a board member of Great Outdoors Colorado, a lottery-funded endowment for Colorado's public parks created in 1992. United States Attorney for Colorado
Assuming the office United States Attorney for Colorado the day after the Columbine High School massacre, <mask>'s legacy as U.S. Attorney is his tough stance on gun crime. Shortly after taking office, <mask> led efforts to enact Colorado's Project Exile, under which Federal and local prosecutors would cooperate to bring gun charges under state or federal laws, whichever would offer the toughest sentence. During its first year, Colorado Project Exile doubled the number of people who were charged with violating state and federal gun laws in Colorado.Under <mask>'s leadership, the project launched with support from gun rights groups including the National Rifle Association and gun control groups such as Handgun Control, Inc.

<mask>'s most notable cases include the prosecution of 25 people associated with a major cocaine distribution ring outside of Colorado Springs, Colo., the indictment of 42 people associated with a motorcycle gang, and the indictment of representatives from three drug running organizations in one of the largest drug roundups in the state's history. In 2000, he prosecuted of the largest drug bust in Longmont's history, an investigation that grew to include California and Nebraska and involved the Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Attorney's office, the Federal Housing Authority and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. <mask> also levied 37 felony counts of selling large quantities of guns to criminals against Gregory Golyansky, his brother Leonid and their employee and cousin, Dmitry Baravik, in a politically charged trial that ended in a plea bargain with a sentence of just one day of probation and a lifetime ban on selling firearms. While critics charged that Strickland targeted the Golyanskys because of their Republican leanings, John Suthers, <mask>'s replacement and a Republican, reviewed the case and decided to continue prosecuting despite alleged problems with the case. As Suthers explained, "You've got to rely on hard-core criminals as witnesses. The girlfriends of hard-core criminals are not exactly spectacular witnesses either." In addition, <mask> went after human traffickers as demonstrated by his commitment to prosecuting three people in charges of transporting illegal immigrants after a van crash in northeast Colorado that killed six men.The victims were packed into a van with 14 other passengers who also sustained injuries when a tractor trailer ran into the back of the van. After almost two years on the job, <mask> left office after acquiring "a reputation as a tough, effective law-and-order prosecutor," according to an editorial appearing in The Denver Post just prior to the end of <mask>'s tenure as U.S. Attorney. Hogan & Hartson
Following his second unsuccessful run for the U.S. Senate <mask> joined the international law firm Hogan & Hartson and rose rapidly to the position of managing partner for the firm's Denver office hiring Scott McInnis, a Republican and former Colorado congressman, and Bill Ritter, a Democrat and former Denver district attorney who would become Colorado's governor. He was also a member of Hogan & Hartson's executive committee. UnitedHealth Group
On April 24, 2007, he was appointed executive vice president and chief legal officer of UnitedHealth Group, a diversified health and well-being company headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota and serving more than 70 million individuals nationwide. He was brought in as part of a new management team following a "stock options backdating scandal" and was credited for having "cleaned up the backdating mess." At UnitedHealth, he managed an in-house team of 200 attorneys and a nationwide team of outside counsel.He was responsible for all legal, regulatory and compliance matters and implemented a number of corporate governance initiatives. Department of the Interior
On January 21, 2009, it was announced that <mask> had accepted an appointment to serve in President Barack Obama's administration as the chief of staff and Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks in the Department of the Interior. On his retirement from the Department of the Interior he was praised by Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and by the editorial board of The Denver Post for his role in America's Great Outdoors Program which is modeled after the popular and successful Great Outdoors Colorado program. America's Great Outdoors, which led to the passage of the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, was heralded as one of the most important conservation measures in decades. His work on restoration of the Everglades, protecting the bluefin tuna, and the environmental impact of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill was cited. WilmerHale
<mask> joined Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr in 2011 and is a partner in the firm's Regulatory and Government Affairs, Litigation/Controversy and Securities Departments. His practice focuses on a range of matters at the intersection of law, business, and government policy, including government enforcement cases, Congressional and internal investigations, corporate governance, and high-stakes crisis management matters.Additionally, he has particular expertise in natural resources and environmental law, health care regulation and securities law. Professional activities

U.S. Senate campaigns

1996 election
The United States Senate election in Colorado in 1996 was for the open seat which resulted from the retirement of Hank Brown. <mask> had represented the Sierra Club and had served on the regional board of the Environmental Defense Fund; he was endorsed by nearly every environmental group in Colorado; however, his Republican opponent, Wayne Allard, who had an abysmal environmental record, borrowed a tactic from <mask>'s law partner, Steve Farber, and painted him as "the polluters' lawyer" in commercials based on research of his record of legal work for numerous clients over a ten-year legal career. He could only reply by referencing his duty to represent his clients' interests zealously. He fell behind in the polls and eventually lost. 2002 election
The 2002 election for the U.S. Senate, with the same candidates running, resulted in a narrow victory for Allard.A record-breaking total of $9 million was raised by the candidates. The campaign was characterized by mutual accusations that the other candidate was linked with a powerful communications company, Allard with Qwest and Strickland with Global Crossing. Allard's winning strategy was to characterize <mask> as a "millionaire-lawyer-lobbyist." <mask> ran on moderate positions. Both candidates had help from prominent party leaders, Allard being helped by President George W. Bush. References

In 1999, on the last day of bombing, <mask> introduced her new composition "Kosovo" at the National Museum in Belgrade.As she played the deeply interwoven Christian and Muslim melodies of "Kosovo" with tears flowing down her face, she noticed that the audience also began to weep as everyone in the concert hall realized that Yugoslavia, as a united multi- cultural nation, was no more. The next day <mask> was advised to leave the country immediately for her own safety. She was guided to the US Embassy in Budapest where by special bipartisan Congressional arrangement she was able to enter the United States as an artist of extraordinary ability. Following the ouster of extremists, <mask> was invited by the newly formed moderate government to return to Serbia for a European concert tour and over 300,000 fans came to hear the music that helped calm a nation torn apart by hatred and violence. Following the tragedy of 9/11, <mask> felt compelled to return to the United States to perform a series of benefit concerts for the victims and their families in Pennsylvania and Maryland and to thank the American people for their generosity in granting asylum in the United States to refugees in mixed Serbian- Muslim marriages who had fled persecution in Bosnia.

In 2004, she had a concert at the Forum Auditorium in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. She has also played at the Chicago Symphony Center, Chicago's Navy Pier and the Toronto Centre for the Arts. Critics have described <mask> as a "James Bond" beauty with a powerhouse technique that delivers an emotional punch like a "Balkan thunderbolt," while her compositions have been described as "breathtakingly original" and "captivating the soul".

An accompanying album was released in 2009, produced by Grammy Award winner Gregory K. Squires and engineered by multiple primetime Emmy Award winner Ed Greene.

<mask> OBE (15 February 1907 - 3 February 1993) was an author and journalist who became a leading figure in the British community in Lisbon, Portugal. Family and early life
Generally known as <mask>, or <mask> after her marriage to the Portuguese, <mask>, she was born into a distinguished family. Her great, great-grandfather was the British scientist and philosopher Joseph Priestley, who was credited with the discovery of oxygen. Her grandmother was Bessie Rayner Parkes, a prominent British feminist and champion of women's suffrage. Her mother, <mask>, was a well-known writer of crime novels and biographies, best known for her novel, The Lodger, based on Jack the Ripper, which sold over a million copies and was made into a film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1926. Her uncle was the poet and novelist Hilaire Belloc. Marriage and Lisbon
Brought up in inter-war London, <mask> was therefore always surrounded by books and met many writers who visited the family home.Her father, <mask>, worked as an editor for The Times. She was educated at St Mary's Convent, Ascot. On leaving school she did voluntary work and, for a time, ran an antique shop in London. In August 1938 she went with her father for a brief holiday in Lisbon, where she met Luís Artur de Oliveira <mask> (1898-1976), an English-educated journalist. They were married in December of the same year in Westminster Cathedral in London and made their home in Lisbon, later moving to Monte Estoril. Her husband was the editor (later owner) of the Anglo-Portuguese News, a newspaper targeted primarily at the British community in Portugal. She would carry on running it after his death until 1980.He was the Lisbon correspondent for the Daily Telegraph, the Sunday Times and the New York Times, as well as doing some English teaching. Writers remained at the centre of her life. Their son, <mask> <mask>, recalled visits to Lisbon from Evelyn Waugh, Cyril Connolly, Aldous Huxley and Graham Greene. Other visitors included Rose Macaulay, Angus Wilson and Sachaverell Sitwell. World War II
During World War 2, in addition to working on the Anglo-Portuguese News, <mask> <mask> and her husband helped out at the Press section of the British Embassy, reviewing the Portuguese press for items of British interest. The Anglo-Portuguese News was the only British newspaper published in Continental Europe during the war and received support from the British Government. Luís was referred to by Joseph Goebbels as “a man to be destroyed” and in a German propaganda radio programme the paper was called “the voice of Churchill in Lisbon”.As a consequence, the couple was on the special embassy list for immediate evacuation should Portugal have been invaded and a large sum of cash was always kept at their house just in case. During the war they were also active in supporting the refugees who passed through Lisbon in large numbers. A writer
After the war, <mask>, writing under her maiden name, collaborated with Ann Bridge, wife of the then British ambassador in Lisbon, Lord O'Malley, to publish The Selective Traveller in Portugal (1949), which became a classic in travel writing on Portugal. It involved the two authors in travelling throughout Portugal on poor roads in search of interesting places to recommend to potential visitors. She subsequently wrote Good Food from Spain and Portugal (1956) and Portugal: A Travellers' Guide (1982), as well as annually revising Fodor's Guide to Portugal. <mask> also wrote two small books on Fatima for thousands of English-speaking pilgrims. She often gave lectures on Portuguese topics in Portugal and Britain.Together with her elder sister, Elizabeth, Countess of Iddesleigh, she edited The Diaries and Letters of Marie Belloc <mask> (1971), which described the atmosphere of the interwar years in London. English Art in Portugal, written together with Alice Berkeley, was published posthumously in 1994. Children
<mask> and her husband had three children. <mask> <mask> (1941-2011) was a lawyer, historian and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in Portugal. Ana Vicente (1943-2015) was a leading supporter of women's rights and an author, including of children's books. She also wrote about life with her parents and compiled some of the letters of her mother. Her sister, Antonia <mask> Leitão (born 1946), married the Portuguese diplomat Rui Burnay Morales de Los Rios da Silva Leitão.Religious faith
<mask> was awarded an OBE in 1975 for services to the British community in Lisbon. Someone with strong Catholic beliefs, she was, at the time of her death, the Lisbon correspondent of the London-based Catholic Herald and of the US Catholic News Service. She attached great importance to charity, believing that Christianity was lived in solidarity with the most vulnerable people. Hundreds of letters of thanks in her archives attest to the assistance she gave others. She worked voluntarily at the British Hospital in Lisbon and at St. Julian's International School, among several other organizations. Towards the end of her life she established the British Retirement Home in São Pedro do Estoril for British people in Portugal who had fallen on hard times. She also had a very developed sense of humour.Two days before her death, when she was offered oxygen in the hospital, she referred back to her great, great-grandfather's discovery of oxygen, saying, “Dear Doctor Priestley”.

title: Walter C. Teagle

texts:
<mask> (May 1, 1878 – January 9, 1962) was president of Standard Oil Company of New Jersey from 1917 to 1937 and was chairman of the board from 1937 to 1942. He was responsible for leading Standard Oil to the forefront of the oil industry and significantly expanding the company's presence in the petrochemical field. In 1923, Cornell University announced that <mask> was their highest salaried graduate. He served as vice president of the Cornell Club of New York and on a variety of committees. Biography

He was born in Cleveland, Ohio on May 1, 1878 into a wealthy oil family. <mask> was the grandson of Maurice B<mask>, one of John D. Rockefeller's former partners in Standard Oil. <mask>'s father, <mask>, headed Scofield, Shurmer and Teagle, Standard Oil's competitor in Cleveland.<mask> entered Cornell University with the class of 1900, but graduated early in 1899 with a B.S. in chemistry. As a student, <mask> was said to have "managed everything," serving as manager for two publications, the football team, class politics, and as chair of the committees for class promenades and cotillions. He was a member of the Quill and Dagger society and Alpha Delta Phi. In 1901, Standard Oil bought out the <mask> family refinery, and placed <mask> in charge. Two years later, he joined the export committee of Standard Oil of New Jersey, traveling around the world for the next seven and a half years. He became a director of Standard Oil in 1910, and a vice president shortly thereafter.During this time, he acquired operations in Venezuela and Iran. At the age of 39, <mask> became the youngest president of Standard Oil of New Jersey, then known as Esso, for Standard Oil of New Jersey, and since 1972, known as  Exxon. Under his leadership, Standard Oil became the world's largest oil producer, increasing market share from 2% to 11.5%. He helped pioneer worker representation on refinery councils and the eight-hour workday. <mask> married twice, to Edith Murray on October 3, 1903, and after her death, to Rowena Lee in 1910. Following Standard Oil house counsel Virgil Kline, who had earlier won cases against Standard for his father's firm, <mask> built a summer house in Blue Hill, Maine. He served as a trustee for Cornell University from 1924 to 1954 and donating funds for the Teagle Hall athletic building.<mask> has been accused of contributing to Nazi Germany during World War II through his involvement with German chemical company IG Farben. As a director of IG Farben's American subsidiary, he allied Standard Oil with the German company and conducted research jointly. Standard Oil supplied information to IG Farben on how to manufacture tetraethyl lead and synthetic rubber, both critical resources to the war effort. In 1938, under <mask>'s leadership, Standard Oil and its British subsidiaries supplied five hundred tons of tetraethyl lead to Germany's Luftwaffe. Germany had very few industrial resources of its own, and without this octane booster for its aviation gas, the Luftwaffe would have been practically grounded. At the time tetraethyl lead was a rare and highly controlled commodity and it is unlikely Germany would have been able to find another source for it. Had <mask> not arranged such a massive transfer of the substance to the Luftwaffe, it is likely that the second World War would have been postponed for several years.Standard Oil, under <mask>, also supplied Japan with large quantities of this critical aviation gas component. When America entered the war a few years later, it was desperately short of rubber because Standard Oil, again under <mask>'s leadership, refused to produce any synthetic rubber for the American military, because <mask> had transferred the patent rights for synthetic rubber to IG Farben, a German company. Because of the patents it had sold to Germany, Standard Oil also interfered with America's production of synthetic ammonia (for use in explosives), acetic acid (another crucial war material), and methanol (another fuel additive). Standard and Teagle, again protecting IG Farben's patents, had also worked to prevent the US military from obtaining paraflow, a crucial high-altitude lubricant used in fighters and bombers. Though <mask> himself had two sons in the Army Air Force, Standard Oil, through its subsidiaries, continued to supply Germany with oil. Faced with a United States Department of Justice investigation, <mask> convinced President Franklin D. Roosevelt that a suit would hurt the war effort, instead choosing to pay an out-of-court fine. The result was a fall in public favor for Standard Oil and the resignation of <mask> in 1942, one year short of the mandatory retirement age.He was replaced by Ralph W. Gallagher. Despite the settlement, for the duration of the Second World War, Standard Oil, under deals <mask> had overseen, continued to supply Nazi Germany with oil. The shipments went through Spain, Vichy France's colonies in the West Indies, and  Switzerland. Standard's oil shipments from the United States to Spain were briefly halted in January 1944 due to American public pressure, then began again in May 1944. Spain, meanwhile, was shipping 48,000 tons a month of American oil to Germany. In 1962, <mask> died at the age of 83 in Byram, Connecticut after a long illness, He was entombed in the Teagle Mausoleum at Putnam Cemetery, Greenwich Connecticut. <mask> was selected as one of 20th Century Great American Business Leaders by Harvard Business School and was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 1974 for his work at Standard Oil in expanding research and development of petroleum-based products, leading to fuel refinements and diverse petrochemical uses such as in cosmetics and food preservatives.He appears on the cover of the December 9, 1929 issue of Time Magazine. He was also selected as one of the 100 Most Notable Cornellians and inducted into the Cornell University Athletic Hall of Fame. Other positions
<mask> was very active in labor, business, and trade organizations and councils. He served as head of President Hoover's job sharing movement and on the National Labor Board during its brief tenure from 1933 to 1934, helping handle labor disputes. He was appointed to President Roosevelt's National Defense Mediation Board and National War Labor Board. He was also on the national Business Advisory Council and a director of the National Foreign Trade Council and Federal Reserve Bank. In 1944, he established The Teagle Foundation "to advance the well-being and general good of mankind throughout the world."At <mask>'s request, the foundation's directors always include an individual appointed by Cornell University and an individual appointed by ExxonMobil.
