texts: revelation, stating that the police were bound to suspect him if his prints were on the murder weapon. Potter, meanwhile, told Lomasney that the murder was "the work of a fascist from the camp".A short time later, a serviceman came to the door and asked for Potter who was in the yard. Lomasney recorded that, when Potter came in he said, "That soldier has just told me that the Military Police at the Camp have caught an Italian coming out with a suit of clothes and detained him and sent for the Civil Police who came dashing out. They have taken him away with them." At this, "Potter affected great glee and his wife became almost hysterical with delight". According to Fabian's initial report Potter stated on 23 February that after his visit to Cacks Ley he had come home, read the paper for five minutes, and had then gone to help one of his workers, <mask> "Happy" Batchelor, to pulp some mangolds for a few minutes. Subsequently, both men had gone to look at the church clock and saw that it was 1pm. This account was confirmed by Mrs Potter who stated that Alfred Potter had arrived home soon after 12.30pm and had read the paper for a few minutes.He had then asked how long dinner would be and she had replied "Not long". On hearing this, Potter had gone to help Batchelor at about 12.40pm and returned at 1.05pm. Batchelor also confirmed that Potter had come to help him at around 12.40pm. On 27 February, Fabian asked that enquiries be made of Stubbs & Bradstreet about any debts recorded against Alfred Potter or L. L. Potter & Co., Farmers of Campden, Gloucestershire. (Alfred Potter's father, Levi Potter, was the licensee of the Lygon Arms in Chipping Campden.) Subsequently, it was confirmed that there were no such debts. Fabian also asked for enquiries to be made at the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries about the result of a "test wages investigation made on 12 January 1945 at Firs Farm by Inspector R. G. Elliott" who was apparently reluctant to reveal the information to Fabian without

 authority from his Headquarters.Again, in his initial crime report, Fabian recorded that, at the inquest on <mask> on 20 March, Potter had told the Coroner that he had seen someone in shirtsleeves in his field at 12.30pm and that they were stationary. Other enquiries
Edith claimed that Potter stated the following as they made their way to Hillground with Harry Beasley on the day of the murder; 'I have to do the milking on a Wednesday. I came to the field to cut some hay at 12 o'clock and saw your uncle at his work'. Edith stated that she had never heard <mask> say he had ever lent anyone any money and she had not seen any IOUs. Subsequent enquiries of the Midland Bank revealed that <mask> had deposited £227.10s.0 in June 1930 but that by 1939 this had dwindled to £11.11s.9d. <mask> had made numerous withdrawals during the intervening years, but never more than £10 or so at a time. Fabian's investigations also revealed that <mask>'s best friend was seventy-two-year-old George Higgins of Fairview, Lower Quinton, although the pair had not seen each other since the previous Christmas.Higgins was employed by Mr Valender of Upper Quinton and at the time of the murder had been working in a barn just 300 yards from Walton. Fabian speculated that Higgins could have made his way across the fields unseen and killed <mask>. However, he doubted that the old man would have had the strength to mount such an attack or sufficient motive. When Harry Beasley was interviewed he told the police that he was employed by Harry Ball of Henney's Farm in the village. He said that "Potter had a reputation as a decent man to work for". On the night of 14 February he recalled Potter saying of <mask>, "I saw him at work at 12.15". Beasley also confirmed that <mask> had been going out with one Edgar Goode for some years, although Goode was later eliminated from the police enquiries.Beasley said he was confident that Potter realised <mask> was dead from the moment he saw <mask>'s body. The police took statements

 from two former employees of Potter's – William George Dyde and George Purnell. Both confirmed that, from time to time, Potter had experienced difficulties in paying their wages. Joseph Stanley confirmed that Potter had assisted him with the castration of two calves on the morning of 14 February and that they had subsequently visited the College Arms where Potter had drunk two glasses of Guinness between 11.45 am and noon. Statements were taken from over 500 residents of Lower Quinton, some as young as eleven years old, as well as other individuals who were in and around the area on 14 February. A detailed search of the entire area surrounding the murder scene was undertaken, with the help of the Royal Engineers using mine detectors, in an attempt to find <mask>'s pocket watch or some other clue, but to no avail. Eventually Fabian and Webb returned to London while Detective Superintendent Alec Spooner continued to search for the murderer.The murder so fascinated Spooner that it is claimed he continued to return to the village long after the rest of the world had concluded that the perpetrator would never be found. There were reports that <mask>'s pocket watch was found in the outhouse of his cottage in 1960, despite an extensive search by the police at the time of the murder. Alfred Potter
Alfred Potter was forty years old at the time of the murder and managed The Firs for L. L. Potter & Co. which was a company owned by his father. Robert Fabian concluded that Alfred Potter was the likely killer of <mask>. Potter's behaviour on the night of the murder did not appear to be that of an innocent man. When Constable Lomasney arrived at 7.05 pm he noted that "Potter seemed very upset. He was shivering and complained of being cold.Looking back I think that Potter appeared more worried than one would have expected him to be." After all, Lomasney reasoned, Potter was used to slaughtering animals and might have been less moved by the murder scene than other men. Lomasney was also surprised

texts: when Potter said he was going home before the Stratford police turned up. He said, "His complaint of feeling cold I considered a strange excuse from one who was used to attending to animals at all hours and in all kinds of weather, especially as the murdered man was his own employee and had been murdered on his own land." In fact, the Stratford police turned up just as Potter was leaving. On 17 February, Potter said he would have gone over to see <mask> at Hillground on 14 February were it not for the fact that he had a heifer in a ditch nearby that he needed to attend to. He claimed he had gone straight home, arriving there at about 12.40 pm, and then went to attend to the heifer.However, the heifer was found to have drowned in Doomsday Ditch on 13 February and was not removed from The Firs until 3.30 pm on 14 February – almost three hours after Potter claimed to have gone to attend to it. Potter's statement about the heifer was contradicted by his statement on 23 February that he had gone home, read the paper and then helped <mask> to pulp mangolds. Fabian's comment was that "Potter is undoubtedly lying about his actions at this critical time but the reason for these lies can, for the present, only be a matter for conjecture". Fabian's cynicism about Potter's activities between noon and 12.40 pm was increased by the fact that he variously stated he had seen <mask> working in the distance at 12.10 pm, 12.15 pm and 12.20 pm, ultimately telling the inquest that he had seen 'someone' stationary at 12.30 pm. Fabian commented that "Thus we have Potter's story gradually changing from seeing <mask> working at hedgecutting at 12.10 pm to seeing a man standing stationary in the field at 12.30 pm". Potter's statements about seeing <mask> at work invariably said that he was in his shirtsleeves. However, when his body was found, he was wearing a jacket.Underneath this jacket he was wearing a shirt, but the sleeves were cut off above the elbow. Thus Potter could not have seen <mask> in his

texts: shirtsleeves. In Fabian's view, even if Potter had merely seen <mask> with his jacket off, "it seems improbable he would have worked in shirt sleeves at 12.20 and then put his jacket on, unless he had decided to go home". On 20 February, Potter said he had previously mentioned to the police that he had touched the murder weapons and that this had been at Harry Beasley's instigation. However, this was the first time he had made such a claim to the police, and Beasley strongly refuted any question that he had asked Potter to make sure <mask> was dead: Beasley said it was patently obvious that he was dead and that Potter did not touch the weapons in his presence. Fabian's comment was that Potter produced this explanation only when Lomasney broached the question of fingerprints on 20 February; he considered that Potter had "gone to great pains to explain away any of his fingerprints which might be found upon the weapons ...". In the event, no prints were found.Potter's suggestion that he might occasionally pay <mask> for hours he had not worked was disproved by an examination of the sums he had indented for wages from L. L. Potter & Co. and those he had paid to <mask>. What Potter was in reality doing was claiming more than he needed to pay his employee, and pocketing the difference. Fabian's comment was that "Potter, by his own admission, is guilty of claiming more wages than were due and there is no doubt that he was making a good thing out of <mask>'s employment by him". After Fabian and Webb had returned to London, the police constable who had relieved Lomasney and stood guard over the murder scene reported that Potter had returned to Hillground soon after first light on 15 February. The policeman had warned Potter away from the actual site of the murder. Potter had exchanged a few pleasantries about the coldness of the weather, given the constable a Player's cigarette and then left. This revelation brought Fabian and Webb back for another interview with Potter and some searching

 questions about why he had not told them earlier about visiting the scene.However, this interview does not seem to have advanced the case any further, although it was noted that "Happy" Batchelor and another employee of Potter's had both resigned since the murder. Fabian believed both had possibly realised the nature of the man for whom they were working. He also wondered if Batchelor had compromised himself by stating that he had seen Potter at 12.40 pm. The trousers that Potter had worn on 14 February were described as being made from Bedford cord. There were two marks on the front that Professor Webster believed were blood stains; however, he reported that they had been cleaned too thoroughly for a positive analysis. The key for the police was establishing Potter's movements between 12 noon, when he parted company from Joseph Stanley at the College Arms, and 12.40 pm when <mask> said he saw him at The Firs. Despite Potter changing his story in various ways, Fabian concluded that there was "no real evidence to connect him with the murder itself, and no reasonable motive can be found for his committing it".Fabian found that there was no evidence that Potter was violent or that he and <mask> had ever quarrelled. He described Potter as morose and sullen at his interviews although, even when "closely interrogated", he "never lost his temper" and was civil. He wrote that Potter was "unkempt" and "on the surface dull witted" although "I am convinced he is far from that". Indeed, Fabian believed Potter to be a "man of considerable strength" and an "extremely cunning individual". Although a number of writers have suggested that <mask> had lent Potter money and its repayment was overdue, there is no proof that this was the case. Ann Tennant
Ann Tennant was a resident of Long Compton, fifteen miles from Lower Quinton, and was murdered at the age of eighty. On 15 September 1875, at about 8 o'clock in the evening, Ann Tennant left her house to buy a loaf of bread.On her way back, she met

texts: some farm workers returning home from harvesting in the fields. One of the group was a local man, James Heywood, who had known Ann's family for many years. Heywood was simple-minded and was seen as something akin to a village idiot. It is known that he had also been drinking cider. Without warning he attacked Ann Tennant with a pitchfork, stabbing her in the legs and head. A local farmer named Taylor heard the commotion and ran to Ann's aid. He restrained Heywood until a constable arrived.Ann was taken to her daughter's house but died of her injuries at around 11.15 that night. Heywood claimed that Ann was a witch and that there were other witches in the village whom he intended to deal with in the same way. Although committed to trial for murder, he was found not guilty on the grounds of insanity and spent the rest of his life in Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum. He is recorded as dying there, at the age of 59, in the first half of 1890. On 13 February 1954, the eve of the ninth anniversary of <mask>'s murder, the Daily Mirror revisited the killing of Ann Tennant and alleged similarity between that event and <mask>'s murder. The report stated: "The police have found one other link between the killings, but I am pledged not to reveal it." One possible explanation was that the police had discovered that <mask> and Ann Tennant were related.<mask> had a first cousin, twice removed, named John Haynes. In December 1867, John Haynes married Sarah Cook whose first cousin, once removed, was Elizabeth Clifton, the wife of Joseph Tennant, Ann Tennant's eldest son. Alternatively, the police may have believed there was a closer connection: <mask>'s great-grandparents were <mask> and Ann Smith. Ann Smith was Ann Tennant's maiden name and she was born in 1794. It is feasible that it was she who married <mask> on 2 January 1812 in Ebrington, Gloucestershire, when she would have been 17 or 18. She could then have given birth to <mask>, the victim's grandfather, in 1814 and, assuming that her

 husband subsequently died, could have married John Tennant in April 1819 in Long Compton. If this tenuous possibility were to be proved true, Ann Tennant was <mask>'s great-grandmother.Claims of witchcraft
The two reports that Fabian wrote on the case in 1945 and which are preserved on the police file make no mention of witchcraft, ritualistic killing, black dogs, natterjack toads or blood sacrifices. However, twenty-five years later he wrote the following:I advise anybody who is tempted at any time to venture into Black Magic, witchcraft, Shamanism – call it what you will – to remember <mask> and to think of his death, which was clearly the ghastly climax of a pagan rite. There is no stronger argument for keeping as far away as possible from the villains with their swords, incense and mumbo-jumbo. It is prudence on which your future peace of mind and even your life could depend. It has been claimed that Fabian was acquainted with two pieces of local history. The first related to the murder of Ann Tennant by James Heywood, on the grounds that she was a witch. In many accounts it has been erroneously claimed that Ann was pinned to the ground with a pitchfork and slashed with a bill-hook.Additionally, Detective Superintendent Alec Spooner, Head of Warwickshire C.I.D., is said to have drawn Fabian's attention to a 1929 book entitled Folklore, Old Customs and Superstitions in Shakespeare Land, written by the Rev. James Harvey Bloom, Rector of Whitchurch, Warwickshire, and father of author Ursula Bloom. This included the story of how, in 1885, a young plough boy named <mask> had met a phantom black dog on his way home from work on several nights in succession. On the last occasion the dog had been accompanied by a headless woman. That night <mask> heard that his sister had died. Amongst the theories and rumours that surrounded this case in subsequent years are the following:

 It was claimed that locals believed that <mask> was a witch whose powers were feared by some villagers. It was

 claimed he could cast the evil eye and kept natterjack toads as pets and used them to "blast"(blight) the crops and livestock of local farmers.Two examples cited were the failure of the 1944 harvest and the death of Potter's heifer on 13 February. It was claimed that this alleged witchcraft led him to be murdered in a ritualistic manner which involved his blood soaking into the ground to 'replenish the soil's fertility'. Local folklore held that phantom black dogs roamed the area and were a harbinger of death. It was claimed that, soon after <mask>'s murder, a black dog was found hanging from a tree close to the murder scene. Fabian wrote that he encountered a black dog while walking at dusk on Meon Hill. The story he related was that dog ran past him and shortly afterwards he met a local boy walking in the same direction. He asked the boy if he was looking for his dog, but when Fabian mentioned the animal's colour, the boy turned a deathly pale and fled in the opposite direction.Myths

Ann Tennant was murdered in the same way as <mask>
The claims that Ann was pinned to the ground with a pitchfork or slashed with a bill-hook are pure invention. She was attacked in the view of several witnesses and the only similarity with <mask>'s murder was the fact that a pitchfork was used in both instances. <mask> was the boy in the story of the black dog
There is no evidence that the <mask> mentioned in Bloom's book was one and the same as the murdered <mask>. The latter had three older sisters and two younger brothers. If the <mask> in the story was subsequently the murder victim, he would need to have had a sister who died during 1885. However, his sisters Mary Ann and <mask> both married in 1891 and lived for some years thereafter, while Harriett – in reality <mask>'s half-sister – was still alive in 1901. Consequently, the story must have related to another <mask> unless Emma, his mother, gave birth to a fourth daughter between the April 1881 Census and the end of 1885.The 1841 Census,

 taken on 7 June 1841, conveniently records <mask>'s mother as being just 9 months old, implying that she was born around August or September 1840. In April 1881 she would have been almost 41 years old, without having given birth – at least to a living child – for some five or six years. It is highly unlikely that she did so during the next five years, especially since a detailed study of the birth, marriage and death records held by the Office for National Statistics has failed to produce any likely <mask> births or deaths being registered in the Shipston or Stratford-upon-Avon areas during that period. <mask> was murdered close to a Druid stone circle in a Druidical ceremony
Fabian stated in Fabian of the Yard that:
One of my most memorable murder cases was at the village of Lower Quinton, near the stone Druid circle of the Whispering Knights. There a man had been killed by a reproduction of a Druidical ceremony on St Valentine's Eve. Gerald B. Gardner stated in his book, The Meaning of Witchcraft:
... the Whispering Knights are not a circle; they are not Druidical, and they are about twelve miles away, as the crow flies, from Lower Quinton. Nor was <mask> killed on St Valentine's Eve; and as no one knows for certain just what the Druid's ceremonies were, it is impossible to say that his death was a reproduction of one.Apart from these details, the description is accurate. Fabian met a wall of silence over the crime
The police took numerous statements from individuals and while Fabian was happy in later years to suggest that he had met 'a wall of silence', the most he would say in 1945 was that "The natives of Upper and Lower Quinton and the surrounding district are of a secretive disposition and they do not take easily to strangers". However, the truth may be that no one had seen anything and therefore had nothing to tell. References

<mask> (; July 31, 1923 – June 18, 2014) was a Polish-American chemist who is known for inventing Kevlar. Her career at the DuPont company spanned more than 40 years. She discovered the first of a family of synthetic fibers of exceptional strength and stiffness: poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide. For her discovery, Kwolek was awarded the DuPont company's Lavoisier Medal for outstanding technical achievement. As of August 2019, she was the only female employee to have received that honor.<ref name="samorodnitsky">Dan Samorodnitsky, "Meet <mask>, the woman who gave us bulletproof vests and yoga pants" Massive Science, July 31, 2019.</ref> In 1995 she became the fourth woman to be added to the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Kwolek won numerous awards for her work in polymer chemistry, including the National Medal of Technology, the IRI Achievement Award and the Perkin Medal. Early life and education

<mask> was born to Polish immigrant parents in the Pittsburgh suburb of New Kensington, Pennsylvania, in 1923.Her father, <mask>, died when she was ten years old. He was a naturalist by avocation, and Kwolek spent hours with him, as a child, exploring the natural world. She attributed her interest in science to him and an interest in fashion design to her mother, Nellie (Zajdel<mask>, who worked as a seamstress. Her mother told her that she was too much of a perfectionist to work a career in fashion, so Kwolek decided to become a doctor. In 1946, <mask> earned a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in chemistry from Margaret Morrison Carnegie College of Carnegie Mellon University. She had planned to become a doctor and hoped she could earn enough money from a temporary job in a chemistry-related field to attend medical school. DuPont career
William Hale Charch, a future mentor, offered Kwolek a position at DuPont's Buffalo, New York, facility in 1946.As a chemical

texts: company, Dupont was trying to find a petroleum-based polymer fibre that would be lighter and harder-wearing than steel in radial tires. The firm had vacancies, given that many men were overseas fighting in the war. Dupont had just introduced nylon shortly before World War Two, and the nylon business quickly boomed and blossomed into a variety of textile applications. At the same time, the ongoing grind of the Second World War also served to highlight the desirability of a lightweight, wearable armour for protection of personnel and equipment. As the war raged overseas, soldiers engaged in battle were forced to do without body armor, since at the time there was no material that was strong enough to stop a bullet (even from infantry rifles) but light enough to wear in battle. Steel was the only armor material available, and its heavy weight limited its use to tanks. Even then, steel could still be pierced by dedicated weaponry.<mask> only intended to work for DuPont temporarily, in order to raise money to study. When she found the polymer-chemistry work interesting, she decided to stay and moved to Wilmington, Delaware, in 1950 with DuPont. In 1959, she won a publication award from the American Chemical Society (ACS), the first of many awards. The paper, The Nylon Rope Trick, demonstrated a way of producing nylon in a beaker at room temperature. It is still a common classroom experiment, and the process was extended to high molecular weight polyamides. In 1985, Kwolek and coworkers patented a method for preparing PBO and PBT polymers. Because Dupont was at the cutting edge of polymer technologies and innovation, <mask> never outgrew the position and spent her whole career doing research at Dupont.Over her 40-year career at Dupont, Kwolek would file 28 patents. In addition to the famous Kevlar, she contributed to products such as Spandex, Lycra, Nomex, and Kapton.

 discovery, "they immediately assigned a whole group to work on different aspects," she said. Still, Kwolek continued chemistry investigations of Kevlar derivatives for DuPont. She also did not profit from DuPont's products, as she signed over the Kevlar patent to the company. Kevlar is used as a material in more than 200 applications, including tennis rackets, skis, parachute lines, boats, airplanes, ropes, cables, and bullet-proof vests. It has been used for car tires, fire fighter boots, hockey sticks, cut-resistant gloves and armored cars. It has also been used for protective building materials like bomb-proof materials, hurricane safe rooms, and bridge reinforcements.During the week of <mask>'s death, the one millionth bullet-resistant vest made with Kevlar was sold. Kevlar is also used to build cellular telephones; Motorola's Droid RAZR has a Kevlar uni body. Awards and honors
For her discovery of Kevlar, <mask> was awarded the DuPont company's Lavoisier Medal for outstanding technical achievement in 1995, as a "Persistent experimentalist and role model whose discovery of liquid crystalline polyamides led to Kevlar aramid fibers." At the time of her death in 2014, she was still the only female employee to receive that honor. Her discovery generated several billion dollars of revenue for DuPont, being her employer at the time, but she never benefited directly from it financially. In 1980, <mask> received the Chemical Pioneer Award from the American Institute of Chemists, and an Award for Creative Invention from the American Chemical Society. In 1995, Kwolek was added to the National Inventors Hall of Fame.In 1996, she received the National Medal of Technology and the IRI Achievement Award. In 1997, she received the Perkin Medal from the American Chemical Society. In 2003, she was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame. She has been awarded honorary

Kwolek is featured as one of the Royal Society of Chemistry 175 Faces of Chemistry''. Retirement
In 1986, Kwolek retired as a research associate for DuPont.Toward the end of her life, she consulted for DuPont, and served on both the National Research Council and the National Academy of Sciences. During her 40 years as a research scientist, she filed and received either 17 or 28 patents. She often tutored students in chemistry. She also devised and wrote about numerous classroom demonstrations that are still used in schools today, such as the Nylon Rope Trick. Kwolek died at the age of 90 on June 18, 2014. See also

The Reformed <mask> <mask> was a progressive politician of the Anti-Revolutionary Party, the party which later merged with other Christian parties to form the Christian Democratic Appeal politician. He was a Public servant, secretary of the government labour negotiation team and a teacher at the CNV-school (Christian Labour Union). Later he became a professor at the Vrije Universiteit and its Rector Magnificus. In 1956 he was unsuccessful as informateur during the long 1956 cabinet formation. However, he was able in 1960 to quickly resolve a cabinet crisis.In 1973 he, together with Boersma, were persuaded to become a minister in the Cabinet Den Uyl. He had a good relationship with the formerly Reformed social-democrat party leader Joop <mask>. As Minister of Home Affairs he proposed a plan to divide the Netherlands into 24 mini-provinces and he played a key role in the independence negotiations for Suriname in 1975. In 1981 he again acted in a cabinet formation as informateur and managed to pave the way for a government of CDA, PvdA and D66. <mask> <mask> was in favor of co-operation of the ARP and later the CDA with the PvdA (left). He refuted offered positions in Christian Democrat – Liberal coalitions. <mask> <mask> became a member of the CDA, but he became alienated from the party mainstream.In his view the CDA too much emphasised policies that resulted in the dismantling of social security. In the parliamentary elections of 1994 he endorsed Gert Schutte, the leader of the Reformed Political League. He is buried at Zorgvlied cemetery. His son Bas <mask> <mask> followed in the political footsteps of his father and became leader of the Political Party of Radicals in the Second Chamber and later a Senator for its successor, the GreenLeft party.

title: Egon Kisch

texts:
<mask> (29 April 1885 – 31 March 1948) was an Austrian and Czechoslovak writer and journalist, who wrote in German. He styled himself Der Rasende Reporter (The Raging Reporter) for his countless travels to the far corners of the globe and his equally numerous articles produced in a relatively short time (Hetzjagd durch die Zeit, 1925), <mask> was noted for his development of literary reportage, his opposition to Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime, and his Communism. Biography
<mask> was born into a wealthy, German-speaking Jewish family in Prague, at that time part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and began his journalistic career as a reporter for Bohemia, a Prague German-language newspaper, in 1906. In 1910, Bohemia began publishing a weekly column of <mask>'s essays. “Prague Forays” ran for more than a year and, along with several books containing reprinted and original material, made <mask> a local celebrity. These feuilletons, which consisted of he called "little novels" about the city, were characterised by an interest in prisons, work houses, and the lives of the poor of Prague. His style was inspired by Jan Neruda, Émile Zola and Charles Dickens's Sketches by Boz.Before World War I, he uncovered the spy scandal involving Alfred Redl, which he published anonymously at the time. At the outbreak of World War I, <mask> was called up for military service and became a corporal in the Austrian army. He fought on the front line in Serbia and the Carpathians and his wartime experiences were later recorded in Schreib das auf, Kisch! (Write That Down, <mask>!) (1929). He was briefly imprisoned in 1916 for publishing reports from the front that criticised the Austrian military's conduct of the war, but nonetheless later served in the army's press quarters along with fellow writers Franz Werfel and Robert Musil.

 war came to an end and played a leading role in the abortive left-wing revolution in Vienna in November of that year. Werfel's novel Barbara oder die Frömmigkeit (1929) portrays the events of this period and <mask> was the inspiration for one of the novel's characters. Although the revolution failed, in 1919, <mask> became a member of the Austrian Communist Party and remained a Communist for the rest of his life. Between 1921 and 1930 <mask>, though a citizen of Czechoslovakia, lived primarily in Berlin, where his work found a new and appreciative audience. In books of collected journalism such as Der rasende Reporter (The Racing Reporter) (1924), he cultivated the image of a witty, gritty, daring reporter always on the move, a cigarette clamped doggedly between his lips. His work and his public persona found an echo in the artistic movement of Neue Sachlichkeit, a major strand in the culture of the Weimar Republic. From 1925 onwards <mask> was a speaker and operative of the communist international and a senior figure in the publishing empire of the West European branch of the Comintern run by communist propagandist Willi Münzenberg.In 1928 <mask> was one of the founders of the Association of Proletarian-Revolutionary Authors. Through the late twenties and early thirties, <mask> wrote a series of books chronicling his journeys to the Russian SFSR, the U.S.A., Soviet Central Asia and China. These later works are more strongly informed by <mask>'s communist politics. Whereas in his earlier collections of reportage he had explicitly stated that a reporter should remain impartial, <mask> came to feel that it was necessary for a writer to engage politically with what he was reporting on. Exile
On 28 February 1933, the day after the Reichstag fire, <mask> was one of many prominent opponents of Nazism to be arrested. He was briefly imprisoned in Spandau Prison, but as a

His works were banned and burnt in Germany, but he continued to write for the Czech and émigré German press, bearing witness to the horrors of the Nazi takeover.In the years between the Machtergreifung and the outbreak of World War II, <mask> continued to travel widely to report and to speak publicly in the anti-fascist cause. Reichstag Fire counter-trial and exclusion from Britain
Following the Reichstag Fire Trial organised by the Nazi government to lay the blame for the fire on Communist opponents, a counter-trial was organized in 1933 in London by a group of lawyers, democrats and other anti-Nazi groups under the aegis of German Communist émigrés. <mask> was to be a witness at the counter trial but was refused leave to land in the United Kingdom because of his "known subversive activities". Attempted exclusion from Australia

<mask>'s visit to Australia as a delegate to the All-Australian Congress Against War and Fascism  in 1934 was later chronicled in his book Landung in Australien (Australian Landfall) (1937). The right-wing Australian government refused <mask> entry from the ship Strathaird at Fremantle and Melbourne because of his previous exclusion from the UK. <mask> then took matters into his own hands. He jumped five metres from the deck of his ship onto the quayside at Melbourne, breaking his leg in the process.He was bundled back on board but this dramatic action mobilised the Australian left in support of <mask>. When the Strathaird docked in Sydney, proceedings were taken against the Captain on the grounds that he was illegally detaining <mask>. Justice H. V. Evatt ordered that <mask> be released. Under the Immigration Restriction Act 1901, visitors could be refused entry if they failed a dictation test in any European language. As soon as <mask> was released, he was re-arrested and was one of the very

The officer who tested him had grown up in northern Scotland but did not have a particularly good grasp of Scottish Gaelic himself. In the High Court case of R v Wilson; ex parte <mask>, the court found that Scottish Gaelic was not within the fair meaning of the Act, and overturned <mask>'s convictions for being an illegal immigrant.On 17 February 1935, <mask> addressed a crowd of 18,000 in the Sydney Domain warning of the dangers of Hitler's Nazi regime, of another war and of concentration camps. Spain, France, the United States and Mexico
In 1937 and 1938, <mask> was in Spain, where left-wingers from across the world had been drawn by the Spanish Civil War. He travelled across the country, speaking in the Republican cause, and his reports from the front line were widely published. Following the Munich Agreement of 1938 and the subsequent Nazi occupation of Bohemia six months later, <mask> was unable to return to the country of his birth. Once war broke out, Paris, which he had made his main home since 1933, also became too dangerous for an outspoken Jewish communist whose native land no longer existed. In late 1939, <mask> and his wife Gisela sailed for New York where, once again, he was initially denied entry. He eventually landed at Ellis Island on 28 December, but as he only had a transit visa moved on to Mexico in October 1940.He remained in Mexico for the next five years, one of a circle of European communist refugees, notable among them Anna Seghers and Ludwig Renn, and the German-Czech writer Lenka Reinerová. He continued to write, producing a book on Mexico and a memoir, Marktplatz der Sensationen (Sensation Fair) (1941). In this period of exile, <mask>'s work regularly returned to the themes of his Prague home and his Jewish

 roots and in March 1946 (after troubles in securing a Czechoslovak visa) he was able to return to his birthplace. Immediately after the return he started to travel around the country and work as a journalist again. Legacy

<mask> died of a stroke two years after his return to Prague, shortly after the Communist party seized complete power. <mask> is buried in the Vinohrady Cemetery, Prague, Czech Republic. After his death, <mask>'s life and work were held up as exemplary in the GDR.The attitude to both in West Germany was more complicated due to his communism. Nonetheless, when Stern magazine founded a prestigious award for German journalism in 1977, it was named the Egon Erwin Kisch Prize in his honour. <mask>'s work as a writer and communist journalist inspired Australian left wing intellectuals and writers such as Katharine Susannah Prichard, E. J. Brady, Vance and Nettie Palmer and Louis Esson. This group formed the nucleus of what later became the Writers League, drawing on the example of <mask> <mask>’s own journalistic dedication to reportage. <mask> has appeared as a character in novels by Australian authors. Without naming him, his visit to Australia, the leap from the ship and the court case challenging the validity of the language test are mentioned in Kylie Tennant's Ride on Stranger (1943). He is a minor character in Frank Hardy's Power Without Glory (1950), which was filmed for television in (1976), and plays a central, if fictionalised, role in Nicholas Hasluck's Our Man K (1999).He appears in Sulari Gentill's detective novel Paving the New Road (2012) along with other real persons such as Nancy Wake and Unity Mitford.

<mask> (born 1934) is a Juno-nominated, Zambian-born composer, arranger, producer and keyboardist based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. His work includes jazz fusion, film scoring, new-age and techno. <mask> won a Juno Award for his work with techno-driven trio BKS. <mask> composed, arranged (in the case of the public domain classical works), and performed the soft melodies and the nature-driven environmental music on the first 14 albums of Dan Gibson's Solitudes - Exploring Nature With Music series, including the 1989 best-selling, quadruple-platinum Harmony. He was named "one of the most prolific and successful figures in contemporary Canadian pop music" by Billboard. Over a period of more than sixty years, <mask> has recorded over 60 albums, most recently on his own Toronto, Ontario-based Abbeywood Records label. Early years
<mask> was born in the Zambian Copper Belt mining town of Nkana Kitwe, and raised 48 km down the road in Mufulira.<mask> first became enamored with piano when, at the age of six, he heard his aunt Ria play the instrument. After his parents bought him a small piano, <mask> taught himself to play, at first studying pianists Carmen Cavallaro, Eddy Duchin and later the sounds of the jazz greats Art Tatum, George Shearing, Oscar Peterson and Bill Evans for inspiration. In 1945, the family relocated to Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia (later Zimbabwe). He attended Milton Junior School and then the Bulawayo Technical High School. Musical career

1950s to mid-1960s
At age 15, <mask> and five of his friends formed a band called "The Youth Marvels" playing the hits of the day. Beginning at age 22, he performed with band leader Gerry DeVos for a few years until he formed his first band, the Hennie Bekker Trio with bassist Noel Kidwell and Drummer Eddie Van Diermen. <mask> then

 moved to Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare).During this period, he also served as a resident pianist for the Rhodesian Broadcasting Corporation's morning show featuring Rhodesian radio host Leslie Sullivan. In late 1961, after a three-month stint in Elizabethville (now called Lubumbashi) in the Congo was cut short due to the Katanga war, <mask> decided to move to Johannesburg, South Africa, where he became a session musician. He returned to Salisbury in 1962 with his band to play at the Bretts supper club until the end of 1963. <mask> and his band, Doug Graham on bass, drummer Eddie Van Diermen drums and vocalist Derek Graham, then went to Luanda, Angola for a short stint at the Club Naval. The band returned to South Africa in 1964, and was booked into an 18-month residency at the Riviera Hotel in Durban. Mid-1960s to late-1960s: The hotel circuit, Gallo
In January 1966, after the Durban gig, the band did a one-year stint at the Mikado night club in Johannesburg. <mask> went on to front a number of bands bearing his name, and played the South African hotel circuit, notably 'Bretts' at the Criterion Hotel in Johannesburg.He followed that up by becoming a staff record producer and music director as well as working with record producer Billy Forrest at venerable Gallo Africa, the eventual record label home of such international superstars as Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens, Miriam Makeba, Hugh Masekela, Juluka, Lucky Dube and Letta Mbulu. During this period <mask>'s skill as an arranger would become evident, and in the years following, and well into the 80s, he arranged, and in some cases produced or co-produced countless works for well-known South African artists. Also during this period (and into the early 70s) he released a number of solo albums (LPs) on

 labels such as His Master's Voice, EMI and Gallo. Early to mid-1970s: London, Arrangements, Teal
In 1970 <mask> travelled to London, where he worked as musical director and played Piano in Galt McDermot's West End show "Isabel’s a Jezebel" at the Duchess Theatre. He also did TV work, and on occasion, played keyboards with the band in "Hair" and the show "Promises, Promises". During that time he also did arrangements for various producers, and played solo piano gigs in hotels. After five months in London, <mask> returned to Johannesburg to become musical director for Billy Forrest's newly formed "Intercontinental Record Company" (IRC).He released an album Turn On for this label. In 1972, IRC was bought by Teal (then a Polygram company), and <mask> became musical director for the Teal Group. For Teal, <mask> produced and arranged singles and albums for various South African artists, many of which were engineered by Grammy winner John Linderman. <mask> then moved into the electronic-based world of the jazz rock hybrid fusion. A residency at the jazz club "The Branch Office" was one of <mask>'s regular gigs, with bandmates guitarist Johnny Fourie, drummer Tony Moore and bassist/arranger/composer/producer Johnny Boshoff. At about the same time, he began to write jingles, and over the next 12 years, would compose about 500 of them to air on South African Broadcasting Corporation, recording the same jingle in the nine different African languages besides English and Afrikaans in order to meet the SABC policy of servicing the African nations within their broadcast area. Late 1970s to Mid-1980s: London, Album production, Jingles

In the seven years that followed, <mask> continued working as a jingle writer, and composed, recorded and performed music for local and international Television shows. He also worked on a number of albums for South African artists. <mask>, by this time, was an established arranger, working in large studios using professional audio recording and processing equipment, but up to this point he had written music by hand. He now  established himself as an electronic musician by being the first South African musician to own a Synclavier. Many of <mask>'s early New Age albums were composed on Synclavier, and he continued to use it until the mid-90s. Other album projects done in the early 80s included New Age style score for an early IMAX type show at Sun City called "Solar Vibrations", the soundtrack to which was released as an LP.1987 to present: Relocation to Canada, Solitudes, BKS, Junos, African Tapestries
In 1987, <mask> and his wife Jacky immigrated to Canada, and worked John Parry Music to produce cue music for production libraries. In 1989, he was recruited by Somerset Entertainment Producer Gordon Gibson to add music to his father Dan's Solitudes environmental recordings. Their first collaboration, Harmony, sold over 400,000 copies, and <mask> provided the music for 13 more gold, platinum and multi-platinum Solitudes titles before striking out on his own with 'the first album in his Kaleidoscopes series, Spring Rain with Holborne Distributing and later, Tranquility, through Quality Records.

The trio toured across Canada, filling dance clubs from Halifax to Vancouver, and spurred more gold and platinum certifications of several dance mix compilations. During the BKS days, <mask> continued to work with Dan and Gordon Gibson - putting out a further five albums in the Solitudes series. Having established himself as an environmental and new age composer, he also composed, arranged and produced a number of a number of albums of soothing, meditative, nature-inspired albums that were distributed by Holborne Distributing Co. Bekker incorporated his interpretations of familiar classics, carols and lullabies on various albums including Lullabies.Albums in the "Classical Tapestries" series, Relaxing Pachelbel, <mask>'s own rendition of "Vivaldi's Four Seasons" and "The Classics" built on the success of the Classical-based "Solitudes - Exploring Nature with Music" albums, including the million-plus selling The Classics. Many of the albums distributed by Holborne were sub-licensed to Northword Press (NatureQuest/Northsound) and released under different names, including several of the Tranquility albums.

<mask> (November 24, 1843, Verbó, Austrian Empire – November 20, 1921, Berlin) (Hebrew: דוד צבי הופמן), was an Orthodox Rabbi and Torah Scholar. He headed the Yeshiva in Berlin, and published research on the Pentateuch and Mishna, both in reaction to erstwhile  Biblical criticism. He is referred to as רד"צ הופמן - <mask> - in later Rabbinic writing. He was an expert in Midrash halakha and the foremost halakhic authority in Germany in his generation. He is well known for his strident literary opposition to the Graf-Wellhausen theories of Biblical origin, while on the other hand, he quotes prominent Wissenschaft figures in his researches on Mishnah and Talmud. Education and career
Born in Verbó in 1843, he attended various Yeshivas in his native town before he entered the college at Pressburg, from which he graduated in 1865. He then studied philosophy, history, and Oriental languages at Vienna and Berlin, taking his doctor's degree in 1871 from the University of Tübingen.His rabbinical training was at the hands of Moshe Schick and Azriel Hildesheimer. Shortly after obtaining his degree, he became employed as a teacher in Samson Raphael Hirsch's Realschule school in Frankfurt am Main, and in 1873 moved to Berlin to join the faculty of the Rabbinical Seminary of Berlin where he eventually became rector (Rosh Yeshiva) in 1899 after the death of Azriel Hildesheimer. His commentary on the Pentateuch is still often referred to. A selective Wissenschaft practitioner
<mask> is in some ways the prototype of the contemporary Orthodox Jewish scholar, facing the ubiquitous tension between faithfulness to tradition and the demands of critical inquiry.

 Though born in Hungary, he adapted the German-Jewish approach of openness towards general culture, world and society. He employed the critical scientific method to the Talmud and wrote about the history of the development of the form of the Oral law (as opposed to the development of the Law itself, the latter being an enterprise antithetical to traditional Jewish beliefs; see below). Despite this, he was an original member of the more traditionally oriented Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah (council of great Torah sages), and was also known to be "of great moral conduct and piety".Hoffman was the leading authority on traditional halakha (Jewish law) in Germany in his lifetime, as well as an expert in the area of midrash halakha (legalistic Biblical exegesis). He was also known for his efforts to disprove the Documentary Hypothesis, as expressed by the Graf-Wellhausen theory, with his arguments presented in the work Die wichtigsten Instanzen gegen die Graf-Wellhausensche Hypothese (1903/1916). A. Altmann, however, sees <mask>'s writings on these matters (though evidencing great expertise) as pure apologetics, the cause of which may be seen as laid out in his introduction to Leviticus , where <mask> makes the following remarks:

Yet, despite the piety of the above sentiments, and his repeated proclamations regarding the divinity of the Oral Law, <mask> was still very much the Wissenschaft scholar. He cites in his work scholars such as Z. Frankel, A. Geiger, S.J. Rapoport, and H. Graetz, he studies the influences of Ancient Near Eastern culture on the evolution of the Talmud, and he identifies problems in the transmitted text. For example, <mask>

 in The First Mishna (discussed below) sees the present Mishna Avot as having been redacted from three different sources, a Mishna of Rabbi Akiva, a Mishna of Rabbi Meir, and a Mishna of Rabbi Judah Ha-Nasi, the originals of which cannot be completely reconstructed due to their thoroughgoing fusion and subsequent manipulation. The extent to which <mask> resided in the Wissenschaft movement can also be seen from the criticism he received from such opponents of the movement as Samson Raphael Hirsch.Hildesheimer notes regarding Hirsch's opinion of his Rabbinical Seminary (where <mask> worked after leaving Hirsch's institution) that "a question certainly exists as to whether Rabbi Hirsch considers the seminary to be an Orthodox institution." Hirsch's opposition extended to <mask>'s own work, judging <mask>'s book Mar Samuel to contain heresies . <mask>'s resolution of this tension between faithfulness to tradition and textual criticism is found by  in the following passage from the introduction to The First Mishna:

Writings
Hoffman produced the Die Erste Mishna (The First Mishna), mentioned above, a historical and linguistic analysis of the Mishnah. Die Erste Mishna posits an early, uniform, undisputed, and therefore authoritative collection of the Oral Law, attempting to understand the historical development of the Mishnah from within itself and from rabbinic and non-rabbinic sources related to it. In this and the following work, <mask> draws on his expertise in midrash halakha and Semitic languages. For further context, see Oral Torah #In rabbinic literature and commentary.

The work began as a series of lectures which he gave in the Rabbinical Seminary. Originally, commentaries on Bereishit, Vayikra, and Devarim were published, starting in 1904; his commentary on Shemot was published by Mossad Harav Kook only in 2010. The commentaries on Vayikra and Devarim were written by Radatz himself,
while the commentaries on Bereishit and Shemot were written by his students, based on manuscripts of his lectures. <mask>'s Melamed Le-ho'il, are responsa on then contemporary issues, as based on historical evidence of tradition. He also published a translation of two of the orders of the Mishna into German. Most of his writings were in German and remain so to this day.The First Mishna was translated into English, and a selection of his comments on the Passover Haggada have been published in Hebrew as well. His Pentateuch commentary was later translated into Hebrew; though today out of print, it is available online. References

<mask> (born 1956) is an American writer, publisher, and environmentalist, known for his criticisms of corporate personhood and his support of a fossil fuel phase out. In 2009, he was described as "one of the amazing brains and strategists behind the anti-coal movement." He is the founder and Executive Director of Global Energy Monitor. Early life
<mask> was born in California and grew up in Dickinson, North Dakota. In 1974, he graduated from Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts. He received his B.A. from Stanford University, and attended graduate school at University of California Berkeley.Early career
In the 1970s, <mask> worked for the Environmental Defense Fund and analyzed how to replace coal–fired power plants with alternative energy programs through computer simulations. He spent several years working in North Dakota at the Dakota Resource Council, a citizens' group concerned about the impacts of energy development on agriculture and rural communities. Computer publishing
In the 1980s, <mask> began working as an editor for the computer magazine PC World and as a columnist for Publish! and Computer Currents magazine. In 1985, he founded Peachpit Press with Michael Gardner, initially working out of his apartment in the San Francisco Bay Area. He wrote numerous how–to books on computer–related subjects. At the time, Elaine Weinmann, the computer writer,  described his publishing approach as user-friendly and innovative.As the company grew in size and sales, it published books about Mac computers and became a leader in books about digital graphics, with a MacBible series, Real World series, and Visual QuickStart (VQS) series. Peachpit published most of the popular manuals of style by writer Robin Williams, such as The Mac is Not a Typewriter and the Little Mac Book. In 1994, <mask> sold Peachpit to Pearson plc and he left the company in 1996. Writing

 reflected on his own career as a business owner:

Gangs of America
His book Gangs of America: The Rise of Corporate Power and the Disabling of Democracy (2003) argued that corporations have deleterious effects on society and the economy. According to Nace, the specious character of corporation's quasi-legal enablements undermine American democracy.He used about his own experiences watching a coal mine develop in North Dakota to explain his concerns with corporate power:

<mask> writes that as the corporate institution developed it got "too much power" in the United States. In an interview, he explained that the modern corporation was a structure that "gelled about a century ago", and that it is a "sort of life form" which has "persistence, metabolism, reproduction, adaptation". He has claimed that the 1886 Supreme Court decision of Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad was an example of the "most well known" bad decisions that has granted corporations the same rights as people. He has criticized the role that business plays in shaping political policy in the last few decades. A New York Times critic found Nace's Gangs of America to be well-researched and made a compelling case that corporations have too much political power, but the reviewer faulted Nace for ignoring the benefit to American shareholders and for slighting "the contributions the corporate form has made to average Americans' prosperity." Alan T. Saracevic, a reviewer at the San Francisco Chronicle, writes that Gangs of America makes a case that corporations have evolved to an "abusive state of being." Climate Hope
<mask>'s second book, Climate Hope: On the Front Lines of the Fight Against Coal (2010) is a first-person chronicle of the anti–coal movement.Tina Gerhardt, the environmental journalist, lauded the book and described its climate agenda as "do-able". Environmental activism
In the mid 2000s, <mask> turned his focus to anti-coal activism. He became active in efforts to block the development and use of coal power plants in the United States through sit–ins at coal mines and banks. At the time, he

 argued that coal usage was creating a "clear planetary crisis" but that implementing a solution is being blocked by "well-financed lobbying and PR sponsored by the coal and utility companies." He was described in the Huffington Post as "one of the amazing brains and strategists behind the anti-coal movement." Global Energy Monitor
In 2007, <mask> founded CoalSwarm, a website affiliated with Earth Island Institute, to share information similar to Wikipedia and Citizendium, but focused on coal. In 2009, Coalswarm started a tracker database of global coal-fired power stations that became "widely respected" by academic researchers, media outlets, and governments.In 2018, Coalswarm changed its name to Global Energy Monitor and became an independent organization, expanding coverage to include natural gas pipelines,  steel plants, coal mines, and other energy infrastructures.

texts:
Terry Scott Szopinski (born March 28, 1962) is an American professional wrestler. He is best known by his ring name <mask> Warlord and for his tenures in National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) as one half of The Powers of Pain alongside <mask> Barbarian. His first national exposure was in the NWA territory Jim Crockett Promotions (JCP), where Powers of Pain held the World Six-Man Tag Team Championship until they departed the company in 1988 and joined WWF, where they competed in the tag team division until the team was quietly split in 1990. <mask> then competed as a singles wrestler until departing in 1992, and had a small stint in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1996, where he briefly reunited with <mask> Barbarian as The Super Assassins. Professional wrestling career

Jim Crockett Promotions (1986-1988)

In 1986 while working out at a gym in Minnesota, Szopinski met its owner Joe Laurinaitis, better known as the professional wrestler Road Warrior Animal. After coming up with possible ring names with Sharkey and Animal, Szopinski adopted the "Warlord" as his ring name and sent some photos of his work to Dusty Rhodes. Soon afterwards, Rhodes hired him and he began wrestling for the National Wrestling Alliance's Jim Crockett Promotions later that year.After a brief stint in JCP, the territory's owner Jim Crockett, Jr. sent him to the Kansas City-based Central States Wrestling territory for more training. While there, he teamed with Karl Kovac and won the territory's tag team championship on June 8, 1987, in a tournament. However, he and Kovac were soon stripped of the title when Kovac was

The Powers of Pain were introduced as mercenaries to help Martel and Santana gain revenge on Demolition for both the title loss and the injury to Martel.They had their first televised rivalry against The Bolsheviks (Nikolai Volkoff and Boris Zhukov). They defeated Bolsheviks in their pay-per-view debut at the inaugural SummerSlam, where they introduced their new manager <mask>. The Baron left the WWF in early November. At Survivor Series, the Powers' team defeated Demolition's team in a tag team elimination match, with the Powers being the sole survivors of their team. Near the end of the match, Demolition's manager Mr. Fuji double-crossed them and after they beat him up and left, the Powers came to his aid, gaining Fuji as their manager in the process, in return for which his interference helped the Powers eliminate the last remaining opponents, the Conquistadors. Afterwards, the Powers and Fuji celebrated until Demolition returned and drove them from the ring. As a result, the Powers became villains while Demolition became fan favorites.Following this, Demolition and the Powers (with Fuji now in their corner) engaged in a series of championship matches at house shows, typically ending in double disqualification or a narrow countout victory for the Powers. On December 12 episode of Prime Time Wrestling, Fuji was confirmed as the new manager of The Powers of Pain. On February 20 episode of Prime Time Wrestling, Powers of Pain received an opportunity for the Tag Team Championship against Demolition, which they lost via disqualification.

At WrestleMania V, Powers of Pain and Mr. Fuji competed against Demolition for the title in a handicap match, where Demolition retained the title by pinning Fuji. In March 1990, The Powers of Pain split, with Fuji selling Barbarian's contract to Bobby "<mask>" Heenan while selling <mask>'s contract to Slick. After the team's split, Warlord received an attire change, where he abandoned his Road Warrior-like reverse mohawk and face paint in favor of a shaved head and a silver metallic Cyborg-style Phantom of the Opera-like half-mask and black armor.He also brought a metal staff topped with a W with him to his matches, and used it as a weapon on occasion. He began a feud with the British Bulldog leading to a match at WrestleMania VII. He was granted a chance at the world title against Hulk Hogan on February 8, 1991, in which he was defeated. He then began a long-running series of matches with the Texas Tornado, which rarely had either man winning. However, he did manage to score a  singles victory over a high profile wrestler in Jake Roberts on August 23, 1991. On April 17, 1992, Szopinski lost to Virgil in his final match for the WWF in Birmingham, England. Independent circuit (1992-1995)

<mask> (1356–1416) was an English medieval Secretary to King Henry IV, Keeper of the Privy Seal and, Dean of Hereford and York. A distinguished and capable administrator he remained loyal to all kings through a mix of shrewdness, and cunning. Although guilty of simony and pluralism, <mask> was no lollard, but successfully made the transition from Richard II's extravagant court at Westminster to an indispensable servant of the Lancastrians. Life

<mask> was university educated and entered Holy Orders. Ordained a priest he served from 1380 onwards as a clerk in the Privy Seal office and clerk of the council under Richard II. <mask> was appointed Chaplain to Archbishop of Canterbury, William Courtenay in 1382, during which time he was made a prebendary of Wingham church. He was then converted into the diocese at Lincoln, where he became a prebendary of the cathedral in 1384.A habit he continued as he was strictly guilty of pluralism. Among the curios of anomalous gifts was St Tyriocs chapelry in another diocese on Beachley Point. Nonetheless <mask> was a talented administrator and continued to rise; clever servants of the Crown were hard to find, and so were commonly rewarded thus. In 1389 <mask> was promoted a clerk of the royal household. The energetic pursuit of agenda and minute-taking was his hallmark, introducing this system into a Register of proceedings; the first of its kind in England, ran until November 1393 on his collation to Dean of Hereford, but was thence discontinued. Well-acquainted with Ledbury he was presented with a portion of All Saints Parish Church appertaining to Upper Hall in Ledbury Park. He was also preferred as Rector of Orpington in Kent by 1392, and the following year elevated to the Deanery at the time

The Bishop Trefnant probably knew <mask> because he had already served with him on the royal council. Master <mask> was assaulted in its precincts by William Buryton as part of an ongoing feud between the Bishop and Dean and Chapter that spilled over into street violence. There was an inquiry, and later visitation by the Privy Council (which <mask> later chaired as Secretary) to investigate the possible defrocking of the Bishop. Bishop Trefnant's instructions included a visitation to St Katherine's Hospital and Ledbury parish in 1397, which had not been administered since the days of Bishop Foliot. Conditions were poor, and the master William Pykersley was dismissed, to be replaced by an experienced administrator, <mask>. A new jury was selected and sealed as ordinances on 2 November, submitted to the bishop at his palace of Whitbourne Hall for the confirmation on 16 December 1398.<mask> was determined to provide proper care for the poor, infirm and cure of the souls. <mask> laid down minimum standards by the Ordinances (1398) of food by weight, diet to guarantee wellbeing. Also at St Katherine's a board of discipline was established for the chaplains to ensure pay and conditions for 'life's necessities'. As well as a stipend they were to wear a uniform with a white cross. The chaplains were chosen mainly from local men who retained a vested interest, yet could not now be removed by the Master, but only on order of the Dean and Chapter. But masters of St Katherine's in late 14th and early 15th centuries had a national profile, and <mask> intended a new Mansion House:

The reduction of the size of the project to just a small chapel for St Katherine's underscored <mask>'s shrewd capabilities. <mask> also received the rents of 70 acres at Little Marcle and 27 acres of coppice woodland at Dunbridge, while the tithe at the Hazle that came to the Master by rents allocated to his personal use during this period. In 1414 he proposed a chantry chapel for Hereford Cathedral to be built by Henry V's royal stonemason 'Thomas the mason and other stone cutters, fellows and servants of his...' for he had great 'affection' for the church. Despite his rise in the Ricardian church, he continued to enjoy royal patronage under the Lancastrians. The new King Henry IV recalled him to the royal council in 1400, with a retainer salary of £100.He was made a prebendary of the York Minster (1404), and the King had promoted <mask> to secretary from 1402 to 1406.

Nevertheless, he had to resign his portion of Upper Hall Ledbury when in 1407 he was collated Dean of York (until his death in 1416). He never fulfilled the ambition of building a chantry chapel there, but converted the old Dean's residence at Pocklington into a Tythe Barn and farmyard Ad fut rei mem eaque pro commodo, whilst simultaneously in December 1409 refurbished a house at Thornton for his own dwelling."<mask>e of Pocklington" as he was known in the charters, was unusual not being an absentee. The Bishop's Peculiar Court had always been at Pocklington manor, when judging matters ecclesiastical in the 14th century, including blasphemy and breaches of the sabbath. From 1406 he was the Keeper of the Privy Seal,  retaining the confidence of Prince Hal when his father fell ill from 1411. One of his last meetings as Secretary was early in February 1415 when the Council met at the Blackfriars house in London. They discussed the certainty of war and the failure of negotiations to come. They would safeguard the seas and borders during the King's absence, and would repair the King's castle at Berwick. The Council wanted a full report into the state of the King's finances and expenditures since his coronation, only then could he make his voyage to France.<mask> attended Henry V's disciplined court at Westminster with other officers of the royal household, particularly at key feast days in the Christian calendar, like Christmas.

 February 1415, the King's Council met to discuss the grave state of the nation's safety abroad: ambassadors had returned from Paris having failed to find a peace settlement with Charles VI, and there would be war. The council's advice had not altered since October 1414. But on Monday 3 June 1415, the last of Henry IV's courtiers was removed from office, and the sixty-year-old stepped aside. Yet when the fleet invaded in August, the complete victory was within the administration's grasp. Elusive for 200 years – it was achieved through naval control of the Channel, and a strong chain of military command and control. One of <mask>'s last duties was to travel north for Henry V in 1416 to report on conditions in St Leonard's Hospital, a royal hospital outside Walmgate Bar, York.On his death in 1416 he was buried in the parish church at Ringwood, Hampshire, in a church of which he had been rector. In 1410 he had built a chantry chapel there with Sir <mask>; a monumental brass marked his grave. His will was proven in 1418, where his executors included his nephew Master Thomas Felde, and Richard Rede, chaplain from Ringwood. See also

In the mid-1970s <mask> self-published two chapbooks of his poetry, which he sold on the streets of Southern
California. In 1976, the City of Laguna Beach, California, denied Steffens a permit to sell his works within the
city limits, touching off brouhaha in the local press. Steffens went to court, seeking relief under the First Amendment, but the court ruled in favor of the city. Steffens turned to writing a series of one-act plays-in-verse,
which were professionally produced as “Herod the Great: A Sequence of Pageants” by the Olympia Arts Ensemble
in Minneapolis in 1981 with Michael Yonkers in the title role. Noel Bredahl of the St. Paul Post-Dispatch hailed
the play as "an awesome creation on the part of the playwright. David Hawley, also of the St. Paul Post Dispatch, wrote, “Steffens is a powerful, talented artist."Writing career

The Fountain commented, "From the very first page Steffens brilliantly brings Alhasan’s internal character to life on the page, sketching a conflicted, fascinating portrait of a reluctant hero.It’s not easy to dramatize the acts of thinking and creating—and harder still to do so in a subtle, elegant style—yet Steffens manages the trick." Blue Minaret praised the book, stating: “The story of Ibn al-Haytham has now been fictionalized masterfully by <mask>s. Each character is well-crafted and in-depth. Each chapter is action-packed. Fans of history will appreciate the descriptions of Cairo and Basra, the esteemed House of Wisdom, even the deserts forming the backdrop of the book. There are plenty of women with strong, independent spirits, and many men in whose hearts burns the love of both God and science.” Wardah Books observed: "This period novel dating back to the Abbasid and Fatimid Caliphate brings to the fore an oft-forgotten side of polymaths such as Alhasan Ibn al-Haytham, as a person who, like all of us, experiences doubt, fear and love.”

<mask> (October 15, 1923 – June 3, 1991) was an American comic book artist and art director best known as one of Jack Kirby's frequent inkers during the 1950s-1960s period called the Silver Age of comic books. This included some significant early issues of Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four, and a long, celebrated run on the character Thor in Journey into Mystery and The Mighty Thor. Early life

Colletta was born in Casteldaccia, Sicily, the son of Rosa and Francesco "Frank" <mask>, the latter "a pretty high-level Mafioso", according to family lore. <mask> emigrated from Sicily to escape local law enforcement and served with the US armed forces in World War II, where he provided art on the sides of bombers. He settled in Brooklyn, New York City, where his wife and child joined him 10 years later. The family then moved to New Jersey and opened an Italian market, severing any ties to the Mafia. Colletta was educated at the New Jersey Academy of Fine Arts.Career
Colletta entered comics in 1952, freelancing first as a penciler, inking his own work, for the publisher Better Publications, on the titles Intimate Love and Out of the Shadows, and for publisher Youthful Magazines' imprint Pix-Parade, on the title Daring Love. The following year he began his decades-long collaboration with Marvel, at the company's 1950s iteration, Atlas Comics. Primarily a romance comics artist, he drew dozens of stories and covers for the Atlas titles Love Romances, Lovers, My Own Romance, Stories of Romance, and The Romances of Nurse Helen Grant, with his earliest confirmed Atlas romance art the six-page story "My Love for You" in Love Romances #37 (March 1954). Colletta's work also appeared in such genres as jungle

 had broken in with "a small job from Western Publishing, I think. Thus emboldened, he went to DC, and after getting savaged by Joe Orlando, got in to see art director <mask>, who recognized talent and arranged for him to get a one-page war-comic job". Before and after his tenure, Colletta continued to do a small amount of inking for Marvel, as well as for Skywald Publications' black-and-white horror magazine Psycho. Well into the 1980s, Colletta continued to ink a wide assortment of comics for both DC and Marvel.His last known credit is a Marvel humor one-shot, Fred Hembeck Destroys the Marvel Universe (July 1989). In late 1987 after editor-in-chief Jim Shooter was fired from Marvel, Colletta sent Marvel a scathing, profanity-laced letter highly critical of the company's action, which became widely circulated. Analysis
Colletta was regarded as one of the American comics industry's fastest inkers and a reliable professional to call upon when a comic was in danger of missing a printing deadline. He nonetheless has been criticized by a range of fellow professionals and comic historians for erasing various details in a penciler's work, both in order to lessen the inking burden and to help meet time constraints during an industry era when printers charged then-prohibitive thousands of dollars for missed deadlines, which resulted in idle presses. As comics artist Joe Sinnott told author Marc Flores, who writes under the pen name Ronin Ro, "When I penciled the romance stories, I used to tell myself, <mask> wrecked what I did. ... He would eliminate people from the strip and use silhouettes, everything to cut corners and make the work easier for himself."Writer Len Wein told an interviewer what he
