<mask>, born on September 1, 1962, is a French climatologist, Professor of Climate and Ocean Evolution at the Collège de France and a member of the French Academy of Sciences. Biography
After studying geological engineering (ENSG) in Nancy, <mask> began his research at the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique (CEA) in Gif-sur-Yvette (doctoral thesis in 1987) and continued at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University in New York as a postdoctoral fellow in 1988 and as an associate researcher in 1989. Back in France, he first joined the CEA as a researcher, then began teaching as a professor at the University of Aix-Marseille in 1991 and at the Collège de France in 2001. He is currently Deputy Director of the European Centre for Research and Education in Environmental Geosciences (CEREGE) at the Arbois Technopole in Aix-en-Provence and coordinates the EQUIPEX ASTER-CEREGE, project. <mask> is the author of more than 200 articles in the peer-reviewed scientific literature, as well as some thirty popular articles (some available for download) and books intended for the general public, including L'Homme et le climat, Découvertes Gallimard, 2005 and director-author of L'Homme face au climat, Odile Jacob, 2006 and L'Océan, le climat et nous: un équilibre fragile ?, Le Pommier & Universcience, 2011. In 2011 and 2012, he was scientific curator of the exhibition "L'océan, le climat et nous" at the Cité des sciences et de l'industrie de la Villette in Paris. Since 2004, Édouard Bard has organized numerous symposia and symposia at the Collège de France on climate and ocean change, some of which are widely open to the general public and politicians, such as "L'Homme face au climat" in 2004, "Closing the Fourth International Polar Year" in 2009 in partnership with the Senate, "Arctic : the major scientific challenges" in 2012 in partnership with the Arctic Workshop, "Climate, energy and society: the Collège de France and COP21" in 2015 with the participation of the President of the Republic, François Hollande.In 2007, he was vice-president of Group 1 of the Grenelle de l'Environnement on the fight against climate change and energy management, and participated in the French government delegations in Ilulissat in Greenland and Bali in Indonesia for the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP13). In 2009, he was a member of the Commission du Grand Emprunt national (Programme des investissements d'avenir) chaired by Alain Juppé and Michel Rocard, former prime ministers. From 2010 to 2013, he was a member of the Scientific Council of OPECST. Scientific contributions
<mask> <mask>'s scientific work is at the interface of climatology, oceanography and geology. Its main objective is to understand the natural functioning of the ocean-atmosphere-cryosphere-biosphere system on time scales ranging from a few centuries to several million years. Better documenting these changes, accurately dating them, understanding their mechanisms and modelling them are important tasks in projects to predict future climate change. For his research, <mask> <mask> uses analytical chemistry techniques to determine the magnitude and chronology of climate variations.New quantitative methods have allowed him to reconstruct past environments from various archives such as marine and lake sediments, corals, stalagmites and polar ice. The common thread is the desire to study the same climatic phenomena, such as glaciations, using complementary and often innovative geochemical techniques. To study the climate of the past, he uses "time machines" - sophisticated mass spectrometers to measure radioactive isotopes and date climate variations recorded in geological archives. Another feature of his research is a back and forth between studies of past and recent periods, as well as current environments. Since variations in the climate system involve mechanisms with very different time constants, it is indeed crucial to have a long-term perspective in order to be able to distinguish the effects of climate forcings according to their geological, astronomical and anthropogenic origins. <mask> <mask>'s main scientific contributions concern the following topics: the diffusion of radiocarbon-labelled carbon dioxide in the ocean (first measurements in accelerator mass spectrometry, variations in surface ocean temperature using organic, isotopic and elemental geochemistry indicators, the dating of fossil corals by mass spectrometry of uranium and thorium to reconstruct sea level variations and to study the history of ice caps, the innovative use of radiocarbon as a tracer of CO2 exchanges at the ocean-atmosphere interface, the calibration of the radiocarbon dating method and the use of other cosmogenic nuclides such as beryllium 10 to reconstruct solar activity in the past, as well as variations in the geomagnetic field and the global carbon cycle.

<mask> (born 8 January 1983) is an Irish football coach and former player who played as a forward. He began his senior career in England, where he played for Stockport County and Hartlepool United; he also had loan spells with Bury and Grimsby Town. He moved to Scottish football in 2007, when he signed for Dundee United. He spent over six years at the club, eventually becoming club captain, and won the Scottish Cup in 2010. He signed for Rangers in 2013, winning the League One title in his first season. He was described as the first Irish Catholic to join Rangers, a team with a Protestant identity. Released by Rangers in 2015, <mask> ended his playing career with Raith Rovers and retired in January 2016.He became a coach at Heart of Midlothian, where he was interim manager twice. He was twice included in the PFA Scotland Team of the Year awards, for the Scottish Premier League in 2012 and for League One in 2014. In international football, <mask> represented the Republic of Ireland at all youth levels up to the under-21 team. Club career

Stockport County
Born in Dublin, Ireland, <mask> started his career at Irish amateur side Cherry Orchard, before signing for Stockport County in May 1998. At Stockport he scored regularly for the youth and reserve team. He began to make an impression on manager Andy Kilner during Stockport's pre-season tour of Scandinavia. He came on a substitute against Landskrona BoIS, and then started against Kristianstads, against whom he scored his first senior goal after lobbing the Kristianstad keeper.The following season saw <mask> become Stockport's second-youngest player when he came off the bench to make his first team debut against Walsall. However, he failed to secure a regular place and only appeared in five matches in his first two seasons. Consequently, he had to wait until the 2001–02 season before he scored his first senior goal against Bolton Wanderers in the FA Cup. He scored his first league goal later that season. By the start of the 2002–03 season, <mask> was regarded as one of Division 2's most promising strikers. He played more regularly and he was involved in 35 of Stockport's 46 league games, scoring seven goals. During this season, Stockport manager Carlton Palmer decided against naming a goalkeeper on the bench and revealed that he was planning to use <mask> in goal should their keeper get sent off or injured.However, this never occurred and <mask> never made an appearance in goal. In October 2004 he went on loan to Grimsby, and scored on his debut against Chester City. However, in his third and final appearance for Grimsby he was sent off against Scunthorpe United. Hartlepool United
In February 2005, <mask> signed for Hartlepool United, where he would stay for the next two years. <mask> scored his first goal  against AFC Bournemouth, which helped seal a play-off spot. In the League One Play-off Final against Sheffield Wednesday, he scored with his first touch after coming on as a substitute to put Hartlepool in the lead. <mask> struggled to feature for the club the following season and was sent on loan to Bury.In the 2006–07 season, he again struggled to hold down a first team spot, although he scored seven goals over three games within a week, including the first hat-trick of his professional career against Wrexham on 30 September 2006. After this, he struggled to maintain his form and was surplus to requirements after Danny Wilson signed Richie Barker. Dundee United
<mask> was allowed to join Dundee United in January 2007 for an undisclosed fee. He made his debut for the club, on 13 January 2007, in a 5–0 loss against Rangers. He scored his first goal for the club in a 1–1 draw against League champions Celtic. After the match, his performance was praised by Craig Levein, who described him as "tireless up front and a lot of people don't see all the work he does." He scored again, the last game of the season, in a 4–2 win over Aberdeen.In May 2007, <mask> suffered a posterior cruciate ligament injury, ruling him out for around six months, which affected the start of the season. Having appeared four times on the bench, <mask> made his return, on 10 November 2007, in a 2–0 win over Kilmarnock. However, on his next appearance, he suffered another injury, to his ankle, ruling him out for another two months. On 12 March 2008, <mask> returned as a substitute for Craig Conway, in a 0–0 draw against Celtic. On 23 December 2008, <mask> signed a new three-year contract extension. On 11 January 2009, he provided an assist for Prince Buaben before scoring a goal for himself, in a 4–0 win over East Stirlingshire, in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup. In April 2009, he injured both his anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, ruling him out of action for several months.On his return in late November 2009, <mask> scored in his first two substitute appearances, including a winner against Celtic before netting his second hat-trick for the club in January 2010, scoring three in the club's 4–1 win at Falkirk. Following his hat-trick, he would add two more goals, taking his tally to five goals in three appearances. He finished the season as Dundee United's top scorer, and picked up a Scottish Cup Winners medal in May 2010. United manager Peter Houston subsequently named <mask> as club captain for season 2010–11. He made his European debut in the qualification round against Greek side AEK Athens. The club lost 2-1 on aggregate. He suffered several injuries during the season, but scored twelve goals in all competitions, including a hat-trick as Dundee United beat Motherwwll 4–0.In the 2011–12 season, <mask> played in both legs of the UEFA Europa League tie against Polish side Śląsk Wrocław. In the second leg, following a 1–0 loss, he made an assist for David Goodwillie before scoring his first goal of the season, from the penalty spot, as Dundee United won 3–2. However, the club were eliminated under the away goal rule. He then signed contract extensions with the club until 2013. In April 2012, <mask> was awarded the March Player of the Month award. Shortly afterwards, he was nominated for the PFA Scotland player of the year award. He scored 19 goals in 36 matches for Dundee United by 1 April 2012, becoming a crucial part of the team and gained himself club captaincy.<mask> scored 22 goals in 43 appearances in all competitions. In the 2012–13 season, <mask> was the second top-scorer in the league behind Johnny Russell. In the final year of his contract, he was linked with League Two side Fleetwood Town. <mask> announced he was to leave the club at the end of the season. <mask>'s exit from the club was confirmed on 19 May 2013 when he agreed a two-year deal with Rangers. Rangers
On 24 May 2013, <mask> agreed to join Rangers on a free transfer when the Glasgow club's transfer ban was lifted on 1 September 2013. On 4 March 2013, Rangers announced that they would make a move to sign <mask> on a pre-contract deal.Manager Ally McCoist confirmed their interest in signing <mask>. The move meant <mask> would become the first Catholic player from the Republic of Ireland to sign for Rangers. McCoist himself said that he had no problem with <mask>'s religion or place of birth. Ahead of the 2013–14 season, <mask> scored his first goal for Rangers in a pre-season friendly against FC Emmen. He scored his first competitive goals for the club in a 6–0 away victory against Airdrieonians making the score 4–0 and 6–0. His next goal for Rangers was in a 3–0 victory over Queen of the South in the Scottish Challenge Cup Quarter Final on 17 September. On 28 September he scored four times in an 8–0 victory over Stenhousemuir.He scored another hat-trick in a 4–0 away win over East Fife on 26 October. He scored Rangers' only goal in the Ramsdens cup semi-final against Stenhousemuir to secure McCoist his first final as manager since taking over from Walter Smith in 2011. A few days after <mask> scored a double against Airdrieonians in a 3–0 victory in the Scottish Cup booking Rangers place in the next round. He scored his 15th and 16th goals for the season in consecutive matches against Dunfermline and Airdrieonians respectively. He was ruled out for six weeks at the start of the 2014–15 season with a knee injury that required surgery. On 29 May 2015, <mask> confirmed that he had left Rangers and was a free agent. Raith Rovers
<mask> signed a short-term contract with Raith Rovers in August 2015.He scored his first goal for Raith in a 2-1 loss to Hibernian on 24 October 2015.

International career
<mask> represented Republic of Ireland from under-14 to under-21 level and was hailed by Niall Quinn as his successor to the Republic of Ireland front line. <mask>'s talent was then recognised when he picked up Ireland's 2001 Youth Player of the Year award and he was also given the opportunity to progress to the under-21 team. <mask> maintained his promise and scored in Ireland under-19's 3–2 victory over England. For the next two years, <mask> kept his place and became a frequent goalscorer in the Republic of Ireland under-21 national football team and went on to play at the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship, playing in two of Ireland's group matches before their second round exit. Coaching career
In November 2015, <mask> agreed to join Hearts as coach of their under-20 team when his contract with Raith expired in January 2016. Following Robbie Neilson's departure, <mask> was announced as joint interim manager of Heart of Midlothian with Andy Kirk. He was again placed in interim charge of the first team in August 2017, after the departure of Ian Cathro.<mask> left Hearts in January 2020, soon after the appointment of Daniel Stendel as head coach. In November 2020, <mask> joined TPS Turku as assistant manager to former Rangers striker <mask> Johansson. He also became manager of the under-23 team. It was announced in December 2021 that <mask> had left the club by mutual agreement to return home for family reasons. On 20 December 2021, it was announced that <mask> had returned to Dublin to become assistant manager of League of Ireland Premier Division side St Patrick's Athletic under newly appointed manager Tim Clancy, who he had played against during his playing career in Scotland, as well as completing his coaching badges alongside Clancy. Personal life
<mask> is married to Linda and has two daughters. Though he was described as the first Irish Catholic to join Rangers, <mask> is not religious and believes that the media coverage of that transfer was exaggerated.Career statistics

title: Telmo Aldaz de la Quadra-Salcedo

texts:
<mask> (born 1970) is a Spanish globetrotter, sailor, media personality and politician. He is best known as host and participant of various TV reality shows and series of geography-related documentary programs, in which he appears as bushcraft expert, adventurer and traveler. Earlier he took part in re-enactments of historical Hispanic naval voyages. He is also organizer and manager of an annual education project España Rumbo al Sur, focused on Africa and intended for the youth. As a politician he supports the Traditionalist cause. From 2018 to 2020 he headed the Acción Social section of Comunión Tradicionalista Carlista; in 2020 he was elected president of the CTC executive, Junta Nacional. Family and youth

The Aldaz family is of Basque origin, ennobled since the 17th century; it got very branched, especially in the Pamplona county.<mask>'s grandfather Cecilio <mask> Urricelqui (1887-1944) was born to a petty bourgeoisie family; following education in the Pamplonese Escuela de Artes y Oficios he worked in the La Agrícola bank. His son Cecilio <mask> Elso (1913-1987)  worked as teacher and was a locally recognized sportsman. Though a republican and left-winger, according to his son he volunteered to requeté; he later deserted and joined the Republican guerilla unit, active in 1937-1938 as Batallón de Montaña Pirenaico. On exile in France, in 1939 he applied for refuge in Mexico and later lived in Dominicana. His later fate is not clear; according to his son, <mask> Elso witnessed the Pearl Harbor attack. From 1943 to 1945 he served in the US Army and reportedly fought in Europe. Afterwards he joined a merchant navy of an unspecified country and following decades of service, he grew to a captain.His status in the Francoist Spain is not clear. In the 1940s he was formally purged from teaching; in the 1950s he was reportedly fishing with Hemingway in trout rivers of Navarre. When in his 50s <mask> Elso met Ana María Quadra-Salcedo Gayarre (1935-2012), born in Irún but resident in Madrid. She was descendant to a few distinguished Basque families; her paternal great-grandfather owned a large mayorazgo in Biscay and served as local deputy in the 1860s; another one was longtime member of Isabelline Cortes, while others were Navarrese entrepreneurs. Her maternal grandfather Miguel Gayarre Espinal was a well-known psychiatrist, member of the so-called Madrid School of Psychiatry. Her father was an agriculture specialist employed by the Madrid diputación; he volunteered to requeté and perished in 1938. Ana Maria herself became a known archeologist and led a number of excavation projects across all Spain.Cecilio and Ana Maria married in the late 1960s; they settled in Madrid. The couple had 3 children, born in the early 1970s, all initially educated by their mother within the homeschooling framework. At the turn of the 1980s and 1990s <mask> studied law at Universidad Complutense; he then specialized in maritime law at Université Montesquieu in Bordeaux. He has never practiced; since the early 1990s he started to make a living as co-organizer of adventure projects, commencing with Ruta Quetzal in 1993. In 2006 <mask> married Isabel Ussia Hornedo, daughter to well-known publisher Alfonso Ussía Muñoz-Seca and great-granddaughter to Pedro Muñoz Seca. It is not clear whether the couple have any children. Numerous of his more distant relatives were public figures; sister of his maternal grandmother Carmen Gayarre Galbete counted among pioneers in paedology, while brother of his maternal grandfather José Miguel Quadra-Salcedo is recognized as an architect.The cousin of his mother Tomás Quadra-Salcedo served as minister in the 1980s and 1990s. The best known relative was his maternal uncle Miguel Quadra-Salcedo Gayarre. Initially an athlete and reporter, since the 1970s he became a media celebrity as a globetrotter. Adventurer

Son to a merchant marine captain and nephew to an adventure media celebrity, already during his teenage years <mask> took part in numerous travelling projects; some were related to a friend of his father and another Navarrese maritime explorer and public personality, known in Spain as Capitán Etayo. In 1992 he was formally employed by his uncle as logistics coordinator for the subsequent edition of Ruta Quetzal; at the time the project was sponsored by Secretariat of State for International Cooperation and Ibero-America and the Ibero-American General Secretariat. <mask> served in the same role also during the 1994 edition and took part in cross-Atlantic journeys on replica of the original Niña caravel. In 1995 he embarked on his first own major travelling project, re-enactment of the historical 1503 Columbus-related paddling journey from Jamaica to Hispaniola in canoes.The enterprise lasted few weeks and became a media scoop in Spain. In the second half of the 1990s he travelled on the Amazon and the Orinoco in canoe and took part in other re-enactment sails of replica ships Niña III and Nao Victoria, e.g. in 1998 as part to the round-the-world journey. Most of these undertakings were part of media projects, and <mask> systematically provided his correspondence to contracted agencies. In 1997 he canoed on the Congo river across Zaire, but the project was abandoned mid-course due to outbreak of the civil war. At the turn of the centuries <mask> was again working for Ruta Quetzal, e.g. in 2002 and 2003.In 2006 <mask> launched his trademark project, Madrid Rumbo al Sur (eng. "Madrid Southbound"). Reportedly inspired by the provincial Madrid authorities, it was designed as an education project for older teenagers. Formatted as a holiday outdoor exploration tour and focused on Africa, it was supposed and until today is being marketed as an exercise in survival, volunteering, ecology, education, research, culture, sports, business entrepreneurship, adventure and international cooperation. In 2007 <mask> with some family members registered Fundación Madrid Rumbo al Sur, the legal entity which from then on became the formal operator of subsequent editions of Rumbo al Sur; he became its president. From then the program has been repeated in annual subsequent editions; they were organized mostly in Morocco, though at times also in Central Africa (Ethiopia, Cameroon, Senegal, Mali, Mauritania) and few times in southern Africa (Swaziland  (since 2018 renamed to Eswatini), Republic of South Africa, Mozambique). Due to Covid-19 pandemic, the 2020 edition was formatted as a sailing voyage between Andalusia and Morocco; following few editions in 2014 the project was renamed to España Rumbo al Sur and is currently no longer catering to the Madrid youth only.The project is financed partially by institutional and commercial sponsors, by various foundations (e.g. Fundación Mutua Madrileña), and partially by the participants, with crowdfunding the preferred means of collecting money. Each year there were over 100 youngsters taking part; until today there have been more than 1,000 youngsters participating. Media personality

From the onset <mask> commenced co-operation with the press and kept providing ongoing correspondence from his voyages to selected media. In 1997 he worked as correspondent of Diario de Navarra to Zaire and covered the ongoing civil war in the mid-1990s. Already at the time some newspapers featured him as “explorador del siglo XXI” and especially the Madrid titles kept referring to him as to organizer of adventure trips for the youth. In the mid-2000s Aldaz tried his hand in film-making industry.In 2004-2005 he served as trainee production assistant during the making of Capitán Alatriste by Agustín Díaz Yanes, the second most-expensive Spanish movie ever. Shortly afterwards he was employed as a location runner for Goya’s Ghosts by Miloš Forman. Having gained experience Aldaz started to produce video materials from his Rumbo al Sur editions, first floated in social media and then professionally made programs intended for commercial media. His documentary broadcast in the local Telemadrid channel earned him the Fundación Codespa prize in periodismo category in the year of 2009. In the early 2000s <mask> signed a contract with the Spanish branch of DMax, the European television channel and part of the Discovery network. He became host of a reality show series titled 40º Norte, la tierra del lobo, aired in 2015 by Telemadrid. It featured 10 madrileños who under Aldaz’ guidance were supposed to manage on their own in the wilderness of Sierra de Guadarrama; the best of them was awarded the title of “the alfa wolf” and a financial reward.It was followed by another series, also produced for DMax and titled Mares: Telmo en el Estrecho. It adhered to a somewhat different formula; instead of reality show, it resembled rather a traditional documentary and explored the live at sea between the coast of Andalusia and this of Morocco. The series was aired in 2016 and proved fairly successful; production of another season followed shortly afterwards. In 2017 <mask> himself became the protagonist of an episode in the popular Radiotelevisión Española series Ochentame... otra vez; titled Sangre de aventureros, it featured modern-day Spanish travelers and adventurers. He floated accounts of his other voyages in social media and featured in single episodes of other reality shows. Thanks mostly to his TV ventures in the 2010s <mask> became a publicly recognizable figure. Newspapers and web portals were publishing interviews and featured materials, in which he appeared as “navigator and adventurer”, “a Navarrese Viking”, “lawyer and adventurer”, “bold explorer”, “expert mariner”, “popular adventurer”, “guardian of the <mask> <mask> Salcedo legacy” and even sort of a maritime Don Quijote.Most of these pieces dwelled on his iconic movie look and noted athletic figure, picturesque beard and almost 2 meters of height. When interviewed Aldaz advocated life in pursuit of own dreams and ideas, not to be discouraged by meager problems. His focus was on adventure and joy, though also with an important ingredient of hard work, learning, overcoming of challenges, meeting people and protecting the environment. Carlist

<mask>’ maternal ancestors were distinguished Carlists; his great-great-grandfather José Miguel Arrieta-Mascarua served in 1843–1871 in the Cortes, while another one Andrés Bruno Quadra-Salcedo acted as high legitimist Biscay official during the Third Carlist War. His great-grandfather Tomás <mask> <mask>-Salcedo was a fuerista, while his grandfather <mask> <mask> Quadra-Salcedo along 4 brothers volunteered to requeté; 4 of the siblings were either killed in action or executed by the Republicans. His mother was an ardent Carlist, active in the female organization Margaritas. <mask> later claimed that growing up a Traditionalist was a natural way of maturing for him, that since childhood he participated in annual rallies at Montejurra, Montserrat or Isuskiza, and that as a boy he knew many Carlist Navarrese personalities.One of them, <mask> Marco Ilincheta, was his godfather. It is not clear what was the role of the early Republican record of his father; as a mariner he later befriended Carlist mariners, in particular Marco Ilincheta and Capitán Etayo. In his media appearances <mask> steered clear of political, ideological or religious issues and has never been subject to any related controversy. His appeal remained ambiguous. On the one hand, the threads related to crossing cultural frontiers, ecology and combating prejudice might have evoked left-wing leaning; on the other, the focus on Hispanidad, stress on discipline and male virtues might have appealed to the right-wing audience. The ambiguity commenced to fade away in 2013, when <mask> started to appear as a Carlist in the Dando caña TV program. He became a regular guest of a Ring podcast, produced by Diario Ya; he featured along attendees clearly associated with political right, like Santiago Abascal or Rafael López Dieguez.In 2014 and with few other Carlists he fielded his candidature to the European Parliament on the coalition list named Impulso Social; across Spain the list gathered around 0,1% of the votes and failed to win a single seat. In 2018 <mask> took part in the XIII Congress of Comunión Tradicionalista Carlista, one of two Traditionalist parties in Spain, and was elected secretario de Acción Social de la Comunión. In 2019 he assumed a high-profile when hosting a Carlist media event in the Madrid Gran Hotel España; it was designed as a handover between the former CTC president, María Cuervo-Arango Cienfuego-<mask>os, and the new one, Javier Garisoain Otero. His term as head of social section expired in December 2020, when CTC held its extraordinary congress; because of the Covid-19 pandemic, it was staged remotely. During the session Comunión elected its new executive and <mask> was voted as the new president of Junta Nacional; it is not clear whether he had any counter-candidates and how many votes he obtained. <mask>’ first message contained numerous religious references and declared faith in the ultimate triumph of "Santa Causa del Carlismo". In his later interviews, published already in 2021, he stated that his key objectives would be to overcome internal divisions of Carlism and to “make it known”.See also

His father, a parson, died from tuberculosis when <mask> was 11 years old, and his mother supported the family by teaching school and keeping boarders in the family home. Chafer attended the Rock Creek Public School as a young boy, and the New Lyme Institution in New Lyme, Ohio from 1885 to 1888.Here he discovered a talent for music and choir. <mask> quit his studies at Oberlin to work with YMCA evangelist, Arthur T. Reed of Ohio. From 1889 to 1891, <mask> attended Oberlin College, where he met Ella Loraine Case. They were married April 22, 1896 and formed a traveling evangelistic music ministry, he singing or preaching and she playing the organ. Their marriage lasted until she died in 1944. Ministry
Ordained in 1900 by a Council of Congregational Ministers in the First Congregational Church in Buffalo and in 1903 he ministered as an evangelist in the Presbytery of Troy in Massachusetts and became associated with the ministry of Cyrus Scofield, who became his mentor. During this early period, <mask> began writing and developing his theology.He taught Bible classes and music at the Mount Hermon School for Boys from 1906 to 1910. He joined the Orange Presbytery in 1912 due to the increasing influence of his ministry in the south. He aided Scofield in establishing the Philadelphia School of the Bible in 1913. From 1923 to 1925, he served as general secretary of the Central American Mission. When Scofield died in 1921, <mask> moved to Dallas, Texas to pastor the First Congregational Church of Dallas where Scofield had ministered. Then, in 1924, <mask> and his friend William Henry Griffith Thomas realized their vision of a simple, Bible-teaching theological seminary and founded Dallas Theological Seminary (originally Evangelical Theological College). <mask> served as president of the seminary and professor of Systematic Theology from 1924 until his death.He died with friends while away at a conference in Seattle, Washington in August 1952. In 1953, the newly built chapel was designated the Lewis Sperry Chafer Chapel after the recently passed leader. During his life, <mask> received three honorary doctorates: Doctor of Divinity from Wheaton in 1926, Doctor of Letters from Dallas in 1942, and Doctor of Theology from the Aix-en-Province, France, Protestant Seminary in 1946. <mask> had a tremendous influence on the evangelical movement. Among his students were Jim Rayburn, founder of Young Life (as well as many of Young Life's first staff members), Kenneth N. Taylor, author of The Living Bible translation, and numerous future Christian educators and pastors, including Howard Hendricks, J. Dwight Pentecost, Charles Caldwell Ryrie, J. Vernon McGee, and John Walvoord, who succeeded him as president of DTS. Personality
<mask> was recognized among his friends and peers for his balanced, simple life. He was a well-spoken and relaxed leader and was not a fire and brimstone preacher.<mask> believed the basic truths for Christian living are found in , a chapter which teaches about peace, grace, weakness, hope, sacrifice, love, and joy. In recognition of this, Dallas Theological Seminary offers a commencement award, the <mask> Chafer Award, every year to the graduating master's student who: "in the judgment of the faculty because of his well‐balanced Christian character, scholarship, and spiritual leadership, best embodies and portrays the ideals of Dallas Theological Seminary." An additional award, the Lorrain Chafer Award, is awarded to the graduating international master's student who: "in the judgment of the faculty, best evidences well‐balanced Christian character, scholarship, and spiritual leadership." The Dallas Seminary Foundation has also set up a charitable giving program called the <mask> <mask> Legacy, recognizing the graciousness in <mask>'s life. Theology
<mask> is widely recognized as one of the founders of modern Dispensationalism and was vehemently opposed to covenant theology. Yet, he did not reject the idea of a covenant of redemption, covenant of works, and covenant of grace. He affirmed all three along with the Edenic, Adamic, Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Palestinian, Davidic, and New Covenant.He was a premillennial, pretribulational dispensationalist. His overall theology could be generally described as based on the inductive study of the entire Bible, having similarities to John Nelson Darby of the Plymouth Brethren, moderate Calvinism (rejected limited atonement), a mild form of Keswick Theology on Sanctification, and Presbyterianism, all of these tempered with a focus on spirituality based on simple Bible study and living. <mask>'s theology has been the subject of much study and debate in and out of the theological community since his death, especially on the two larger topics of dispensationalism and Christian Zionism, specifically that the Jews are a people called unto God with a separate historical purpose and plan from the Church. Writings

In 1933, Dallas acquired the periodical Bibliotheca Sacra and began publishing it in 1934. <mask> wrote about 70 articles for this journal (see external links below). In 1947, after 10 years of work, he completed his Systematic Theology in eight volumes. This was the first time that a premillennial, dispensational framework of Christian theology had been systematized into a single format.The books were so popular that it sold out the first printing in six months and needed a third printing within two years. The series has been printed many times since by a number of publishing houses. <mask>'s Systematic Theology is a standard dispensational systematic theology at Dallas Theological Seminary. <mask> <mask> wrote, "These pages represent what has been, and is, taught in the classrooms of the Dallas Theological Seminary". It has been claimed that "This is the definitive work to use in understanding what Dispensationalism teaches and believes. If you are going to use “straw men” to defeat dispensational theorists, make sure your scarecrow favors <mask> <mask>." Selected publications
Many of <mask>'s books have been reprinted multiple times by several different publishing houses.Some of these include:

texts:
<mask> (born <mask>, November 4, 1937) is an American stage and television actress known for her character roles. Swit is best known for her portrayal of Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan on M*A*S*H, for which she won two Emmy Awards. Early life
<mask> was born in Passaic, New Jersey to Lester and Nellie Szwed (née Kassack), who were both of Polish descent. Her father was a salesman and upholsterer. Swit's brother, Robert, was six years and one day her senior. As a child, Swit was a member of a Girl Scout troop sponsored by the Holy Rosary R.C. Church of Passaic known as the Holy Rosary Scouts.She graduated from Pope Pius XII High School in Passaic in 1955, where she had been a cheerleader, taken part in theatrical productions, and was co-captain of the women's basketball team. She graduated from Katharine Gibbs School in Montclair in June 1957, then was employed at a variety of clerical jobs including as a stenographer in Bloomfield, personal secretary to Elsa Maxwell, secretary to the ambassador from Ghana to the United Nations, and at the American Rocket Society in New York City while developing her acting career. She studied drama with Gene Frankel in Manhattan in New York City and considered him her acting coach. She regularly returned to his studio to speak with aspiring actors throughout her career. Swit is also a singer, having trained at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Theatre
Swit's first off-broadway appearance was in the Actor's Playhouse production of "An Enemy of the People." In 1961, Swit landed a role in the Circle in the Square production of "The Balcony" written by Jean Genet and produced by José Quintero.In 1967, Swit toured with the national company of Any Wednesday, starring Gardner McKay. She continued as one of the Pigeon sisters opposite Don Rickles and Ernest Borgnine in a Los Angeles run of The Odd Couple. In 1975, Swit played in Same Time, Next Year on Broadway opposite Ted Bessell. She also performed on Broadway in The Mystery of Edwin Drood. From there, she played Agnes Gooch in the Las Vegas version of Mame, starring Susan Hayward and later, Celeste Holm. She has played Shirley Valentine, a one-woman play, since the 1990s into the 2010s, appearing in a variety of locales and revivals. In October–November 2003, she starred as the title character in North Carolina Theatre's production of Mame in Raleigh, North Carolina.In August–September 2010, Swit starred in the world premiere of the Mark Miller play, Amorous Crossings, at the Alhambra Dinner Theatre in Jacksonville, Florida, directed by Todd Booth. In 2017, Swit appeared in Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks in Buffalo, New York. Television
When Swit arrived in Hollywood in 1969, she performed guest roles in various television series, including Hawaii Five-O (her first TV credit), Gunsmoke, Mission: Impossible, and Mannix. M*A*S*H

Starting in 1972, Swit played the lusty, extremely capable head nurse Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan in the television series M*A*S*H, a comedy set in a US Mobile Army Surgical Hospital during the Korean War. Swit inherited the star-making role from actress Sally Kellerman, who portrayed Houlihan in the feature film. In the first few seasons her character was single and blindly patriotic, and she had no friends among the camp surgeons and nurses, with the notable exception of her married lover, Major Frank Burns, portrayed by Larry Linville. Over time her character was considerably softened.She married a lieutenant-colonel but divorced soon after. She became good friends with her fellow officers, and her attitude towards the Koreans in and around the camp became more enlightened. The change reflected that of the series in general, from absurdist dark humor to mature comedy-drama. Swit was one of only four cast members to stay for all 11 seasons of the show, from 1972 to 1983 (the others are Alan Alda, Jamie Farr, and William Christopher). Swit and Alda were the only actors to have been in both the pilot episode and the finale; she appeared in all but 11 of the total of 256 episodes. Swit received two Emmy Awards for her work on M*A*S*H.

Her favorite episodes are "Hot Lips & Empty Arms", "Margaret's Engagement" and "The Nurses". She also had a close relationship with Harry Morgan, who played Colonel Sherman T. Potter.They became neighbors after the series ended, until his death on December 7, 2011. Swit continues to stay close to Alda, along with his wife, three daughters and seven grandchildren. Cagney & Lacey
In 1981, Swit played the Christine Cagney role in the movie pilot for the television series Cagney & Lacey but was precluded by contractual obligations from continuing the role. Actress Meg Foster portrayed Cagney for the first six episodes of the television series, then Sharon Gless took over the role. Other TV work
Swit also guest-starred in shows such as Bonanza, The Love Boat, Win, Lose or Draw, Password, Gunsmoke, Match Game, Pyramid, The Muppet Show and Hollywood Squares. On one episode of Match Game, Swit wrote the Polish greeting "Dzień dobry" (even with the diacritical mark) on her card during the introduction. She also starred in Christmas programs such as the television version of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever and 1987's PBS special A Christmas Calendar.In 1988 she hosted "Korean War-The Untold Story", a documentary on the true events of the war and went to South Korea to film it, becoming the first M*A*S*H cast member to actually visit the country outside of Jamie Farr and Alan Alda who both served there in the mid 1950s while members of the U.S Army. In 1992, she hosted the 26-part series Those Incredible Animals on the Discovery Channel. Swit's latest appearance was on GSN Live on October 10, 2008.

<mask> (previously: Hooper; born 11 February 1945 in New Orleans, Louisiana) is an American linguist and professor emerita at the University of New Mexico. Much of her work concerns grammaticalization, stochastics, modality, morphology, and phonology. <mask> is best known for proposing the theory of Usage-based phonology and for her contributions to cognitive and historical linguistics. Contributions to linguistic theory
<mask>'s earliest work in linguistics was framed within a Generative perspective, the dominant theoretical approach to phonology at the time. As her career developed, <mask>'s contributions moved progressively from formalist theories towards a functional and cognitive perspective, incorporating insights from morphology, semantics, syntax, child language acquisition and historical linguistics. Generative work (1970s)

Natural Generative Phonology
In the early and mid-70's, <mask> proposed that the connection between the abstract phonological representation of a word and the actual forms experienced by language users was a more direct one than previously postulated. Her theory of Natural Generative Phonology, elaborated upon and expanded the work of Theo Vennemann, proposing less abstract mental representations of sound structure while arguing for greater proximity between phonetic and phonological forms.Although belonging to a formalist tradition, <mask>'s early work already contained elements that challenged the performance/competence model that underlay all Generative assumptions. Natural Generative Phonology proposed that the mental representation of language results from speakers’ exposure to actual language in use. The proposal that the structure of language derives from actual communication rather than from abstract rules wired in the brain represented a major departure from the mainstream linguistics, an idea <mask> pursued in all her subsequent work. Morphology
In 1985, <mask> published her influential volume Morphology: A study of the Relation between Meaning and Form, in which she uncovered semantic regularities across 50 genetically and geographically diverse languages. These meaning similarities manifest themselves in recurring cross-linguistic patterns in morphological systems with respect to tense, aspect and mood. This work runs counter to Chomskyan generative theory, which describes grammar as an independent module of the brain that works in an abstract manner completely detached from semantic considerations. Cognitive linguistics
Alongside linguists Dan Slobin and Carol Moder, <mask>'s work helped popularize the concept of mental schemas (or schemata) to explain grammatical structure, especially in terms of connections between morphological forms within a paradigm.Bybee defines schemas as "an emergent generalization over words having similar patterns of semantic and phonological connections". For instance, the English irregular verbs snuck, struck, strung, spun and hung are connected through a schema that builds on similarities between these verbs and across the lexicon: the meaning of past tense, the vowel [ʌ],  the final nasal and/or (sequence of) velar consonants, as well as the initial fricative consonant /s/ or /h/. Connections between individual forms and schemas exist in a network (see below) whose links can be strengthened, weakened and at times also severed or created. According to Bybee, the force that binds the links in a network is actual language usage. The Network Model
Informed by studies child language development, morphological change and psycholinguistic experimentation, <mask> proposed in the late 1980s and early 1990s a model to account for the cognitive representation of morphologically complex words: the Network Model. Words entered in the lexicon have varying degrees of lexical strength, due primarily to their token frequency. Words with high lexical strength are easy to access, serve as the bases of morphological relations and exhibit an autonomy that makes them resistant to change and prone to semantic independence.Grammaticalization
Diachronic studies figure prominently in <mask>'s body of work. Specifically, her work has explored the ways in which grammar emerges through language use via grammaticalization. Grammaticalization describes the concept that individual words or constructions may come to express abstract grammatical meaning (e.g. future tense) as users increasingly pair frequent words with a given meaning.

title: Lita (wrestler)

texts:
Amy Christine Dumas (; born April 14, 1975), better known by her ring name <mask>, is an American professional wrestler. She is currently signed with WWE. Often regarded as one of the greatest women's performers, she is also one of the most popular female superstars in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014. Initially using the name of Angelica, Dumas started her wrestling career in Mexico with the Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) in 1998, followed by briefly working on the US independent circuit in early 1999, and then working for 6 months in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). Dumas then signed with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, later WWE) in August 1999, debuting in February 2000 as <mask>. Originally, she was paired with Essa Rios, but she achieved her greatest push alongside Matt and Jeff Hardy as Team Xtreme, and in 2005–2006 was a heel wrestler, including as a manager to Edge. She is a four-time WWE Women's Champion.After her first retirement in 2006, she formed the punk rock band The Luchagors. The band released their self-titled debut album on September 11, 2007. Early life
Amy Christine Dumas was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Christine and Michael Dumas on April 14, 1975. She attended many different schools around Florida throughout her childhood and adolescent years and managed to finish high school at Lassiter High School near Atlanta six months before graduation. She majored in education at Georgia State University, but dropped out in 1993 because she felt it was too much like high school. Later, in Washington, D.C., Dumas played bass guitar in several bands, and worked as a roadie for a band. Professional wrestling career

Early career (1997–1999)
Dumas first became interested in wrestling after watching Rey Mysterio Jr., a Mexican-American luchador, wrestle on an episode of World Championship Wrestling's (WCW) Monday Nitro.She traveled to Mexico in 1997 to learn more about the sport and how to wrestle. Dumas financed her training by dancing in a club under the pseudonym Misty. During her stay in Mexico, Dumas trained under numerous wrestlers, including El Dandy, Kevin Quinn and Ricky Santana. Following the completion of her training, Dumas made several appearances with the Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre in 1998, under the ring name of Angelica. After returning to the United States, Dumas continued working as a valet on the independent circuit as Angelica. She made her wrestling debut in a match against indie wrestler Strawberry Fields on January 9, 1999, where she won the match. She worked in Maryland Championship Wrestling (MCW), at one point managing Christopher Daniels.She also made appearances in NWA Mid-Atlantic, where she first met Matt and Jeff Hardy, who offered to train with her. Extreme Championship Wrestling (1999)

In April 1999, Dumas was approached by Paul Heyman, the owner and booker of Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). Dumas debuted in ECW as Miss Congeniality, the on-screen girlfriend of Danny Doring. Dumas later began using the name Angelica once again and made her pay-per-view debut on July 18 at Heat Wave where Doring, as part of their storyline, proposed to her with a condom. Dumas was introduced to veteran wrestler Dory Funk, Jr. by ECW wrestler Rob Van Dam, and Funk invited her to attend his wrestling school, The Funkin' Conservatory. Dumas attended Funk's school alongside twenty-three men, graduated from the school in August 1999, and returned to ECW. Meanwhile, Funk and his wife compiled video footage of Dumas and sent it to the World Wrestling Federation.The Federation was sufficiently impressed, and on August 1, 1999, Dumas was signed to a WWF developmental deal. After six months with ECW, she made her final appearance on October 23, 1999, at Re-enter the Sandman. World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment

Debut (1999–2000)

Dumas debuted on the July 5, 1999, episode of Raw Is War as part of The Godfather's Ho-Train. After honing her skills at the Memphis Championship Wrestling developmental territory, Dumas was given the ring name Lita and paired with luchador Essa Rios. <mask> and Rios made their WWF debut on the February 13, 2000, episode of Sunday Night Heat, where Rios was booked to win the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship from Gillberg (it was only by watching the episode that the two learned their new ring names, decided post-production). Lita mimicked his moves, notably the moonsault and hurricanrana, immediately after he had performed them on an opponent. Essa Rios and <mask> had a feud with Eddie Guerrero and Chyna which led to a European title match between Ríos and then-champion Guerrero at Backlash.In May 2000, a storyline was developed in which <mask> found Rios cavorting with The Godfather and his "hos", causing tension between them. Rios eventually turned on <mask> by powerbombing her after she inadvertently cost him a match with the Hardy Boyz coming to her rescue. Team Xtreme (2000–2002)
As a member of Team Xtreme, Lita developed a more "alternative" image, wearing baggy pants with a thong, which was hiked up high above her pants, clearly exposed- right after she joined Team Xtreme, her popularity skyrocketed. During her time with Team Xtreme, Lita became the only female to ever be physically involved in Tables, Ladders, and Chairs matches in the WWF, effectively interfering at TLC I at Summerslam and TLC II at WrestleMania X-Seven on the Hardy Boyz’ behalf- but her interference was often short lived as she was brutally Speared at ringside by Edge and 3-D’ed by the Dudley Boyz. In June 2000, Team Xtreme began a storyline with T & A (Test and Albert), with Lita engaging in a rivalry with their manager, Trish Stratus. The rivalry developed into an off and on long-term feud between the two women that lasted until Stratus retired in 2006. The storyline ended shortly after Fully Loaded, where Lita pinned Stratus in a six-person intergender tag team match.The two rivals were then part of the main event of the July 31, 2000, edition of Raw in <mask>'s hometown of Atlanta, which was a tag team match between <mask> & The Rock vs Stratus & Triple H, which <mask> and The Rock won. Subsequently, Lita began feuding with WWF Women's Champion Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley after winning the first-ever women's battle royal against the likes of Ivory, Jacqueline, Terri and The Kat. In the main event of the August 21, 2000, episode of Raw is War (her second main event in 3 weeks), Lita defeated Stephanie with a moonsault to win the Women's Championship for the first time, with The Rock as special guest referee. Lita held the Women's Championship for 73 days, which included retaining her title in a hardcore match against Jacqueline on October 9. In the course of her reign, Lita became embroiled in the storyline feud between the Hardy Boyz and Edge and Christian. In retaliation for her frequent interference in their matches, Edge and Christian cost Lita the Women's Championship by side-slamming her into the mat, helping Ivory to defeat her in a four-way match on the November 2 episode of SmackDown! Ivory was in a conservative-based stable named Right to Censor at that time, which targeted Lita for her attire and moves.<mask> attempted to regain the title on several occasions, wrestling Ivory in a match at Survivor Series where Ivory cut Lita's lower forehead open with her boot heel and she bled heavily, and then another match at Rebellion but Lita was thwarted on each occasion by Stevie Richards, Ivory's mentor. She spent the remainder of the year in a storyline with would-be suitor Dean Malenko, on one occasion unsuccessfully challenging him for the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship. Even after repeated rejections from Lita followed by savage beatings by the Hardy Boyz, Malenko was undeterred in his quest to win Lita's affections. Lita continued to feud with Dean Malenko in early 2001, and she defeated him in a singles bout on the February 19 episode of Raw is War with the assistance of Matt Hardy. Following the match, Hardy kissed Lita, beginning their on-screen relationship and turning their real-life romance into a storyline. On the April 9 edition of Raw is War, she took part in another WWF main event as part of Team Xtreme against a tag team of Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley and the Two Man Power Trip (Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H). They won the match, but Lita took a brutal beating after the match, where she was Pedigreed by Triple H, and Austin hit her 4 times in the back with a steel-folding chair and finished her off with a Stunner; Austin had just turned heel and this was an attempt to generate even more heat towards the ultra-popular wrestler by beating up the most popular female wrestler in the WWF at the time.In July 2001, <mask> and Trish Stratus joined forces to combat Stacy Keibler and Torrie Wilson, members of The Alliance: Extreme Championship Wrestling and World Championship Wrestling wrestlers who were invading the WWF as part of The Invasion storyline. At the Invasion pay-per-view on July 22, <mask> and Stratus defeated Keibler and Wilson in the first ever tag team bra and panties match by stripping their opponents to their underwear. Throughout The Invasion, <mask>, Stratus, and Jacqueline feuded with Alliance members Keibler, Wilson, Ivory, and Mighty Molly. The Invasion storyline ended on November 18 at Survivor Series, where <mask> took part in a six-pack challenge for the WWF Women's Championship, which had been vacated by Chyna earlier that month; Stratus won the match and the title. In late 2001, the Hardy Boyz began a storyline in which they were feuding with one another. <mask> refereed a match between them at Vengeance on December 9. Jeff won the match with a scripted finish that had <mask> failing to notice that Matt had placed his leg on the rope during Jeff's successful pin attempt.Continuing the storyline on the following episode of Raw, Matt defeated <mask> and Jeff in a handicap match, shortly after informing <mask> that both their relationship and the Hardy Boyz were finished. On the December 17 episode of Raw, both Jeff and <mask> were sidelined with storyline injuries following a hardcore title match between Jeff and WWF Hardcore Champion The Undertaker, when they were both tossed off the stage by The Undertaker. The injuring of both his brother and ex-girlfriend led to a reconciliation between the members of Team Xtreme, and on the December 20 episode of SmackDown!, Matt faced The Undertaker but was also injured. All three members of Team Xtreme were then removed from WWF television for several weeks. Team Xtreme returned at the Royal Rumble event in January, with the Hardys as participants and <mask> accompanying them. The trio attacked The Undertaker, but were unsuccessful in eliminating him. Lita resumed her pursuit of the WWF Women's Championship and made her in-ring WrestleMania debut at WrestleMania X8 on March 17, facing Stratus and WWF Women's Champion Jazz in a match in which Jazz retained her title by pinning Lita.Neck injury and return (2002–2003)
On April 6, Dumas suffered what appeared to be a stinger while filming a fight scene for a role in the season finale of the television program Dark Angel. The rehearsal required that she practice the hurricanrana that would be used in the episode, however, the stunt double Dumas was working with dropped her as she swung through the move, causing her to land on her neck and shoulders. After she underwent a CAT scan, it was revealed that she had suffered three cracks in her vertebrae, necessitating surgery. On April 30, Dumas underwent neck surgery under Dr. Lloyd Youngblood, during which he used a section of her hip to fuse her C5 and C6 vertebrae together. She spent the subsequent year rehabilitating, making appearances on Sunday Night Heat as a color commentator, beginning in October 2002. During her time recovering, Matt and Jeff split thus ending Team Xtreme; Jeff would leave the WWE the following year and Matt would move to Smackdown. On the April 21, 2003, episode of Raw, as part of a new storyline, she was fired from her position on commentary by general manager Eric Bischoff after she rejected his advances and his request that she follow in the footsteps of SmackDown!s Torrie Wilson and pose for Playboy.She returned to the ring after an absence of seventeen months on the September 15 episode of Raw, saving Trish Stratus from a beating at the hands of Molly Holly and Gail Kim. Co-general manager Stone Cold Steve Austin later explained to Eric Bischoff that he had rehired <mask>. <mask> and Stratus went on to defeat Holly and Kim in a tag team match on September 21 at Unforgiven. <mask> feuded with Holly into late 2003, unsuccessfully challenging her for the Women's Championship on November 16 at Survivor Series. On the November 17 episode of Raw, <mask> and Matt Hardy were reunited after Hardy was moved from SmackDown! to Raw. Continuing the storyline, Holly interrupted as Hardy was about to propose to <mask>, challenging the duo to face her and Bischoff in an intergender tag team match later that evening.Bischoff later added the stipulation that <mask> would earn a title shot if she won but would be fired if she lost. Hardy and <mask> lost the match after Hardy refused to tag in, with Hardy berating Lita for "selfishly" returning to Raw instead of SmackDown!, claiming that this showed that she cared more about the Women's Championship than about him. Lita was rehired later that evening when Christian informed her that he had used his Survivor Series favor to get Bischoff to reinstate her. One week later, Lita lost to Victoria in the first ever women's steel cage match in WWE history, due to interference from Hardy. As <mask> and Christian appeared to be developing an on-screen relationship, so did Stratus and Chris Jericho. Subsequently, Stratus and Lita participated in an intergender tag team match as partners on the December 1 episode of Raw. After the match, Stratus overheard Jericho talking to then-heel, Christian, about who could sleep with their respective woman first.One week later, Stratus and <mask> confronted the men about their real intentions, leading to a feud between the two men and women which resulted in a "Battle of the Sexes" match at Armageddon, which the women lost. A rematch ended in a no contest the next night. On February 23, 2004, <mask> was involved in a fatal-4-way elimination match for the Women's Championship which also included Molly Holly, Jazz, and Victoria, who won the match. Storyline with Kane and feuding with Trish Stratus (2004–2005)
Lita competed in the women's division throughout early 2004, winning a battle royal to become the number one contender for the Women's Championship on the April 5 episode of Raw. Victoria defeated <mask> to retain the Women's Championship at Backlash on April 18. The next night on Raw, Lita was reunited with Matt Hardy when Hardy attacked Kane in an attempt to prevent him from harming Lita, beginning a new storyline involving the trio. In the following weeks, Kane began repeatedly assaulting Hardy and attempting to seduce Lita.During the course of the storyline, he kidnapped <mask> and held her tied up backstage, and he persuaded Eric Bischoff to give her a title shot at Bad Blood on June 13, where she was defeated by Trish Stratus in a Fatal Four Way match that also included Gail Kim and defending champion Victoria. The next night on Raw, <mask> revealed that she was pregnant. One week later, it appeared that Hardy was going to propose to <mask>, but he was interrupted by Kane, who claimed to be the father of <mask>'s child. Two months later, it was revealed that Kane was, in fact, the father. Hardy and Kane feuded for several months, culminating in a "Till Death Do Us Part" match on August 15 at SummerSlam, with the stipulation that Lita would be obliged to marry the winner of the match. Kane won the match, leading to he and a reluctant Lita marrying one another on the August 23 episode of Raw. Despite being married to Kane, Lita thwarted him during his matches, constantly aiding his opponents.On the September 13 episode of Raw, <mask> miscarried after Gene Snitsky struck Kane with a chair, resulting in him falling on <mask>. The miscarriage led to <mask> and Kane joining forces in order to take revenge on Snitsky. With the pregnancy storyline over, <mask> returned to the women's division in November 2004. She began a feud with Trish Stratus, who had constantly degraded her during her pregnancy storyline. When Stratus referred to her as "chubby" because of her weight gain, she retaliated by attacking Stratus backstage due to no longer carrying a child. <mask> challenged Stratus to a Women's Championship match at Survivor Series, however, due to the months of humiliation and being verbally berated by Stratus, Lita was more concerned with doing as much damage as possible, and she broke Stratus's nose during the match and attacked her with a chair, leading to her disqualification. This intense and violent match involved levels of physicality that had not been seen before in the women's division.The feud continued, and on December 6, <mask> defeated Stratus in the main event of Raw to win her second WWE Women's Championship. During the course of the match, <mask> botched a suicide dive to the outside when she over rotated by a fraction, barely escaping serious injury. This move was later used in the buildup to the title rematch she was booked for at New Year's Revolution against Stratus, who claimed, "Lita had to practically kill herself, just to beat me". In the course of the match, <mask> legitimately tore her left ACL after executing a Thesz press off the ring apron, which left her unable to properly continue the match and led to a rushed finish, in which Stratus reclaimed the title.Ian Hamilton.

 Ship: What Happens to an Industry Without Competition, 134. Lita returned to WWE television in March 2005, mentoring Christy Hemme, who was in the midst of a storyline with Stratus that featured a title match between them at WrestleMania 21. Despite <mask>'s coaching, Hemme was defeated by Stratus.<mask> continued to feud with Stratus by proxy over the following weeks, with Kane defeating Stratus' companion, Viscera, at Backlash on May 1. Relationship with Edge and first retirement (2005–2006)

The relationship between <mask> and Kane lasted until the May 16 episode of Raw, when <mask> turned on Kane, helping Edge defeat him in the finals of the Raw Gold Rush Tournament, turning heel. On the May 30 episode of Raw, <mask> announced that she had filed for divorce, and said things such as Kane was like a 4th grader in the bedroom, that she would not have to deal with things such as his sweaty body, the "stupid little" laugh he does, and their wedding ring being flushed down a toilet. She then attempted to marry Edge on the June 20 episode of Raw, but the marriage ceremony was interrupted by a vengeful Kane, who emerged from beneath the ring, destroyed the ceremony, and as Edge and <mask> escaped from the ring, Kane tombstoned their priest. The storyline with Kane ended shortly thereafter. Off-screen, at this time, Dumas had been involved with Matt Hardy romantically, but began an affair with Adam Copeland (Edge), who was one of Hardy's closest friends. WWE then began to use the real-life issues between the three as an on-screen storyline.In April, Hardy was released from WWE for revealing the entire incident on his blog, only to be rehired several months later under constant outcry from fans from shows and pay-per-views every week for months on end. <mask> had been one of the most popular performers in the WWE since the beginning of her association with the Hardy Boyz in 2000 and after Hardy was fired in April, her popularity had taken a massive dive. Starting with a RAW event at Madison Square Garden where after hobbling to the ring on a crutch to do a segment with heel Trish Stratus, she was booed heavily and fans chanted "You screwed Matt!" and "We want Matt! "- and Lita was still a face at this time. The booing and jeering got so bad that Stratus, angered by the abuse went off script and berated the crowd- and after the segment Dumas was shaken by the experience. Hardy was rehired in July (by which time Lita had turned heel) and would engage in a three-month feud with Edge, while <mask>, awkwardly watching and sometimes interfering in these matches from ringside continued to act as Edge's valet.On the October 3 episode of Raw, Edge, with the assistance of <mask>, defeated Hardy in a ladder match, and Hardy was obligated to leave Raw as a stipulation of the match, ending their feud. Hardy went to Smackdown!, and Edge defeated John Cena to win the WWE Championship on January 8 at New Year's Revolution. In an interview conducted after the event, on WWE.com, Edge announced that he and <mask> would have "hot, unbridled sex" in the middle of the ring on Raw the following night to celebrate his victory. On Raw that night in the family-friendly amusement park town of Hershey, Pennsylvania, Edge held up to that promise by engaging in foreplay with <mask> in a bed inside the ring until they were interrupted by Ric Flair, who called Edge a disgrace and "that he was horrible in the sack." Flair, however, ended up on the receiving end of a con-chair-to on the announcers' table until Cena came out to Flair's aid and performed an FU on Lita. The "Live Sex Celebration" segment earned Raw a 5.2 rating, the highest Raw rating in over a year, leading Edge to call himself the "most watched champion ever". In 2021, <mask> revealed that she was uncomfortable with the segment, but WWE threatened to fire her if she didn't do the segment.On the February 6 episode of Raw, Lita teamed with Edge in a loss to Cena and Maria. She continued to manage Edge into mid-2006, frequently interfering on his behalf during his feud with Mick Foley. In May 2006, Foley joined forces with Edge and <mask>, with the trio defeating Foley's ECW rivals Terry Funk, Tommy Dreamer, and Beulah McGillicutty in an impromptu six-person tag team match at One Night Stand. On the August 14 episode of Raw, Lita won her third Women's Championship by defeating Mickie James. She lost the title to longtime rival, Trish Stratus, at Unforgiven in Stratus's retirement match. At Cyber Sunday, Lita defeated James again in the finals of a tournament for the vacant Women's Title in a lumberjill match. In the three editions of Raw after Cyber Sunday, Lita faced James in three non-title handicap matches, the first where James had one hand tied behind her back, the second where James had her feet tied together, and the third with James being blindfolded.<mask> easily won the first (6 November) and third (20 November) of those matches, but on the November 13 episode of RAW James was able to defeat <mask> after D-Generation X squirted mustard in Lita's face. At Survivor Series, Lita had her last match before her retirement, where she lost the title against Mickie James. She had become so fed up with the continued negative intrusion WWE fans had on her personal life and insults for 18 consecutive months. Return to the independent circuit (2007, 2017)
