<mask> (May 27, 1887 – November 1, 1971) was an American politician from Virginia who served over 50 years in public office. A member of the Democratic Party and lukewarm ally of the Byrd Organization led by fellow U.S. Senator Harry F. Byrd, <mask> represented Virginia in the U.S. House of Representatives (1933–1946) and the U.S. Senate (1946–1966), and had earlier served in the Virginia General Assembly. A member of the conservative coalition during his congressional career, <mask> was a vocal opponent of civil rights. <mask> was also the father of televangelist <mask>. Early life and education
<mask> was born in Martinsburg, West Virginia, the son of <mask> and Josephine Ragland (née <mask>), just two weeks before fellow Virginia Senator Harry F. Byrd was born in the same community. He graduated from the University of Richmond in 1907.Early political and legal career

<mask> then established a private law practice and began his elective career. He was elected to the Virginia State Senate as a Democrat in 1915 to represent Bedford and Rockbridge counties and Buena Vista, Virginia, in Senate district 22, replacing W. T. Paxton, who had replaced J. Randolph Tucker in 1913. <mask> served from 1916 to 1922, when he resigned and was replaced by Samuel S. Lambeth Jr. in the February 1923 special session but Robert J. Noell won the election to succeed him later that year. During World War I, <mask> enlisted and served in the United States Army, but was assigned stateside so he could continue that part-time elective office. <mask> served as Commonwealth Attorney for Rockbridge County, Virginia (an elective office per the Virginia constitution, which prohibited such officials from also serving as legislators or judges during their terms) from 1922 to 1928. Federal political career
In 1932, <mask> was elected from Virginia's 7th congressional district to the U.S. House of Representatives, and was reelected six times. In 1946, he won a special election for the right to complete the final two years of Senator Carter Glass's term and took office on the day after the election.He won the seat in his own right in 1948 and was reelected two more times without serious opposition. Among his legislation is the Pittman–Robertson Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act which creates the formula for federal sharing of ammunition tax revenues with states to establish wildlife areas. The program is still in effect and remains a primary financing source for wildlife areas. <mask> was a typical member of the Byrd Organization, though differed at times and eventually became independent from the machine. He was chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs from 1959 to 1966. In 1956, <mask> was one of the 19 senators who signed the Southern Manifesto against the U.S. Supreme Court decision of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954), which mandated schools' desegregation. When President Lyndon B. Johnson sent his wife, Lady Bird Johnson, on a train trip through the South to encourage support for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, <mask> was one of four Southern Senators who refused to meet with her on the whistle-stop trip.In retaliation, President Johnson personally recruited Virginia State Senator William B. Spong Jr., a considerably more liberal Democrat, to run against <mask> in the 1966 Democratic primary. Even some Byrd Democrats had moved away from resistance to integration as espoused by <mask> and the Organization's patriarch, Harry F. Byrd. Meanwhile, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 had added black and lower-income voters. Spong defeated <mask> in the primary in one of the biggest upsets in Virginia political history. The Byrd Organization's long dominance of Virginia state politics had begun to end. Opposition to civil rights

March 10, 1956, Christian Science Monitor
Asked to comment "on his region's state of mind and any specific American attitudes he feels are necessary to avoid violence and bring healing in a deteriorating situation following the Supreme Court school desegregation order," <mask> stated:

Virginia recognizes the correctness of the 1850 decision of the Massachusetts Supreme Court and in the 155 subsequent decisions of State and Federal courts holding that the equal rights provision of a constitution could be properly satisfied by public schools for the white and colored races which are separate but equal. During the last 10 years notable progress has been made in the Southern States in meeting that equality requirement.But that progress will be nullified by a program of rapid, enforced desegregation. In fact, public education for both races in some Southern States would be destroyed. The worst feature of the current desegregation effort, however, is the resulting bitterness and racial animosities in areas where harmony heretofore prevailed. Southerners believe that the cherished constitutional right of every citizen to select his personal associates is being violated. Monday, July 9, 1956, Congressional Record
I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the Congressional Record the weekly newsletter of my distinguished successor in the Seventh Congressional District of Virginia, Representative Burr P Harrison, in which he discussed the so-called civil rights bill now under consideration by the House. Representative Harrison's analysis is lucid and accurate, and I fully endorse the position he has taken in opposition to it. Harrison had stated:

Even a casual reading of this bill, sponsored by the President, reveals it as one of the most drastic measures ever to receive consideration by the Congress.It would set up a Federal Commission with a staff of snoopers who could roam the length and breadth of the United States, armed with subpoenas, looking for civil-rights incidents. One of the objectives of this Commission would be to advance the idea of complete racial integration in private business. Death
In 1971, <mask> died in Lexington, Virginia and was buried in Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery, later renamed Oak Grove Cemetery. His papers are held at the Swem Library at the College of William and Mary. Electoral history

Eubank. 1936; <mask> was re-elected with 63.87% of the vote, defeating Republican Will and Socialist Ruffner. 1938; <mask> was re-elected with 63.87% of the vote, defeating Republican Charles C.

<mask> (born May 1, 1949 in Grades/ Austria) is an Austrian sociologist. Biography

<mask> studied 1968-1976 business administration and sociology at the Johannes Kepler University Linz (JKU) and achieved his PhD in sociology there 1977. He started his scientific career 1973 as assistant professor at the Department of General Sociology and Social Philosophy at the JKU, and spent a term as visiting professor at the Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, Connecticut in 1978. After achieving his "Habilitation" (= venia docendi) for sociology 1984 at the JKU he taught as associate professor (since 1997) and full professor (since 2002) at the Department of Sociology at the Johannes Kepler University Linz, where he also was head of the Institute of Cultural Economics and Cultural Research. He retired at the Johannes Kepler University Linz in 2011, but is still affiliated as lecturer and researcher there

Work

His main working areas are Sociological theory, sociology of culture, sociology of art, sociology of media, sociology of religion, research in leisure and tourism and in the sociology of education. He is known beyond the German-speaking scientific community especially in the fields of a sociology of religion, sociological theory and sociology of culture. His theory of religion is a theory of contingency of human existence covered by transcending concepts of meaning, thus making different systems of meaning comparable as religious equivalents.His theory of society as theory of culture defines culture as a main thread of change in modern and post-modern societies, whereas his empirical research looks into the intertwinedness of culture, tourism and leisure. Mörth founded and developed together with Gerhard Fröhlich three multilingual online websites on famous social scientists: Pierre Bourdieu, Norbert Elias and Clifford Geertz. Recently Mörth concentrated on theory and research in the Sociology of Media and the Sociology of Arts, and he was also involved in the planning and development of several projects in the field of arts and culture.

<mask> (25 December 1873 – 23 March 1958) was the most prolific British left-wing journalist of the first half of the 20th century. A founding member of the Men's League for Women's Suffrage in 1907, he resigned from his job at The Daily News in 1909 when it supported the force-feeding of suffragettes on hunger strike. Early life
The son of a Methodist preacher, he was born in Yorkshire and educated in Scotland, at the High School of Dundee. Career in journalism
<mask> abandoned an academic career to become a journalist, rising to prominence in the 1890s as a foreign correspondent for The Manchester Guardian, specialising in the Balkans, France and Egypt. In 1899 he moved to London, working for the Morning Leader and then The Daily News. He led a British relief mission to Macedonia in 1903, publishing a book, Macedonia: Its Races and Their Future, on his return. In 1905 he was convicted of conspiring to obtain a British passport in the name of one person for another person to travel to Russia.The Men's League for Women's Suffrage was formed in 1907 in London by  <mask>, Charles Corbett, <mask>, <mask>, C. E. M. Joad, <mask>, <mask>, Gerald Gould, Charles Mansell-Moullin, Israel Zangwill and 32 others. <mask> joined the Independent Labour Party in 1907 and resigned from the Daily News in 1909 when it supported force-feeding of suffragette prisoners. He co-authored with Dr Jessie Murray, a psychologist and suffragette, a report The Treatment of Women's Deputations by the Metropolitan Police, over the violence of the Metropolitan Police during the Black Friday demonstration (18 November 1910). Over the next decade he wrote several books, among them Adventures in Prose (1911), Shelley, Godwin and their Circle (1913), War of Steel and Gold (1914), Origins of the Great War (1914), Belgium and the Scrap of Paper (1915) and A League of Nations (1917). In 1913–14 <mask> was a member of the international commission sent by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to investigate the conduct of the Balkan Wars of 1912–13. He co-authored its report. He was a prominent member of the Union of Democratic Control during the First World War and stood unsuccessfully as a Labour Party candidate in the 1918 general election.He subsequently toured central Europe and his graphic accounts of life in the defeated countries appeared in his books Across the Blockade (1919) and After the Peace (1920). <mask> went to Soviet Russia in 1920 and again to the USSR in 1926, publishing two books on the subject. He was editor of the New Leader, the ILP newspaper, from 1922 to 1926. He left the ILP in 1932 and through the 1930s was a regular contributor to Reynold's News and the New Statesman. <mask> was an outspoken critic of Mussolini's Italy and <mask>'s Germany. His books in the 1930s include the anti-colonialist classic Rebel India (1931) and the anti-militarist Property or Peace? (1934).In the late 1930s, he was one of the few writers associated with the Left Book Club, the New Statesman and Tribune who was consistently critical of the Soviet show trials. Following the Soviet invasion of Finland, <mask> published a hostile essay about Stalin in Reynold's News :

Stalin ... has compelled us to pass the judgement we had hitherto refused to register. His Russia is a totalitarian state, like another, as brutal towards the rights of others, as careless of its plighted word. If this man ever understood the international creed of socialism, he long ago forgot it. In this land the absolute power has wrought its customary effects of corruption. During the Second World War, <mask> penned a weekly column in the left-wing Reynold's News. He also continued to write books, the most important being Subject India (1943) and Our Settlement with Germany (1944).After his retirement from journalism in 1946, he wrote a history of the Levellers, which was unfinished at the time of his death. Paul Foot described <mask> as "perhaps the best socialist writer in Britain at the time". Personal life
He married a former student, the women's activist Jane Esdon Malloch in 1898 at his insistence. She denied him children and regarded the marriage as demeaning. They separated but she refused him a divorce. In 1928 he met the artist Clare Leighton and they lived together for several years. His wife died in 1937 after years of drinking, and whereas this removed any legal obstacle to the couple being married, <mask>, consumed by guilt, suffered an emotional breakdown, effectively destroying his relationship with Leighton who left for the US in 1939.In 1944 he married Evamaria Perlmann, a refugee from Germany, 40 years his junior. <mask> was an advocate of animal rights and was a vegetarian. In opposition to G. K. Chesterton he defended the practice of vegetarianism in The Daily News. His fondness for animals was a lifelong trait and he found it easier to show affection to animals as they did not betray or disappoint him. He opposed blood sports and several of his essays allude to his friendship with cats. Bibliography

<mask> (February 26, 1884 – December 30, 1969), who wrote under the name <mask>,  was an American author and journalist whose romance with a French woman during World  War I caused a sensation in the United States as a "famous war triangle." Shippey later wrote a popular column in the Los Angeles Times for 22 years. Biography

Early life

<mask> was born February 26, 1884, in Memphis, Tennessee, the son of <mask> and Elizabeth Kerr Freligh of Missouri. His siblings were Louisia, <mask> and Mrs. Charles Stewart. The elder Shippey had been in the Confederate Navy and was treasurer of the Kansas City & Northwestern Railway. After the death of his father on July 24, 1899, <mask> left Central High School to begin his working life as a laborer in a meat packing-house, then started his career in journalism as a night-shift copyholder — somebody who reads written material aloud to a proofreader — on the Kansas City Times, going to high school during the day.<ref>[https://search.proquest.com/docview/167585928 Robert R. Kirsch, "<mask>: A Fortunate Man," Los Angeles Times, October 29, 1959, page B-5]  Library card required
</ref> He was twenty years old when he graduated, and two colleges offered "inducements" to attend as a football player, "but I could not afford to accept them." Instead, he took a part-time job as football coach at Westport High School.As a young man, he was poisoned by the wood alcohol he had been using over a period of weeks to clean a meerschaum pipe,  resulting in the loss of most of his sight. "As he lay helpless in bed, thinking life held nothing in the future for him, he was astounded to hear his sister reading some of his own humorous writings which he had surreptitiously left on the desk of the associate editor of the Kansas City Star." The editor offered him a job, at first paying the young man from his own salary,
and he dictated his first humor columns for the Star from his bed. Shippey was married to another writer, Mary Blake Woodson, on August 20, 1908, in Jackson County, Missouri. They lived together while he was editor-owner of the Higginsville Jeffersonian in Higginsville, Missouri, which he bought for three hundred dollars after the death of owner Jules Coe. Shippey then became known as the "poet-philosopher of Higginsville." <mask> and Mary's only child, <mask> <mask> Jr., was born on May 20, 1910.After the outbreak of World War I, Shippey sold the newspaper and returned to the Star. In 1917 he was president of the Missouri Writers' Guild. "Post Frees the Babin Women," New York Times, June 2, 1920

The famous 'war triangle'

Romance
During World War I, Shippey was working for the YMCA in Paris, France. At the same time, he was writing for various American newspapers as a correspondent. "Divorce Ends War Triangle Built by Poet," Chicago Daily Tribune, September 30, 1921, page 1"<mask>, Wrote California Column," New York Times, January 1, 1970 Shippey told two versions of how he became acquainted with Madeleine Babin, the French woman for whom he eventually left his wife. The 1920 version
On November 1, 1918, the 34-year-old Shippey met the 20-year-old Madeleine, who, with her family, was placing flowers on the graves in the American cemetery in Suresnes, France. At this point, the Babins — a mother and two daughters — had lost the father of the family, Georges, who died after being discharged as a private in the French army.Shippey helped Madeleine and her younger sister by two years, Georgette,  get jobs as interpreters for the YMCA, and "Every Sunday and holiday and many a long summer evening they visited historic or beautiful places in or near Paris." In a column that was later published in newspapers across the country "that the real and ungarbled truth may be known of the famous 'war triangle,' " Shippey wrote that:

For ten months our friendship grew. I came to love the whole family. May 1, 1919, when I was notified that my hotel was to be closed, I went to their home to board, and there was taken into the most beautiful family life I have ever seen. The courage with which they met misfortunes and their sweetness to each other made their home so pleasant that the months I spent there were the happiest of my life. "Betrayer of French Girl Bares Story," San Francisco Chronicle, February 29, 1920

During this period, Shippey and Madeleine were "married in a church in Paris . . . by a ritual of their own."The 1959 version

In 1959, Shippey published a memoir in which he did not mention his marriage to Mary nor the existence of their child. He wrote that he met Georges Babin while the latter was a hospital patient and that Madeleine and Babette had been trapped for two years in a convent school behind the German lines in Belgium. Finally, the girls came home to Paris, via England, and Shippey and a fellow American writer, Homer Croy, went with Mrs. Babin to the train station to meet them. The next day Croy arranged for the two young women to work as interpreters in the organization for which he was the Paris production manager, the Community Motion Picture Bureau. After the war ended on November 11, 1918, Shippey found his income so reduced "that I could not afford to keep the hotel room Croy and I had shared unless I could get another roommate." By that time, Georges Babin had died, so Mrs. Babin and Shippey agreed that the latter would rent a room in the Babin apartment. She [Madeleine] and Georgette called me Grand Frere [Big Brother], and thought of me only as an elder brother.Madeleine was fifteen years my junior and seemed younger, and I couldn't be such a fool as to imagine she could think of me in any other way. Besides, it would be tragic if she could, for I was pledged to a woman of my own age back home, a woman so gifted and admirable in many ways that I had set her on a pedestal, though also so temperamental and fond of dramatizing that we quarreled often. The end of Shippey's feelings for "the girl back home" came when he received a furious letter from her "full of violent accusations . . . concluding with the underscored words: ". . . I'm THROUGH." He felt "strangely buoyant" and gay and, when just about to part from the Babins for the train station to begin his trip back home, Madeleine suddenly "took my face in both her hands and kissed me full on the lips. . . .Through my mind, like vivid lightning, flashed the recollection that once she had said she would never kiss any man on the lips until it meant a pledge of love." Divorce and remarriage
In August 1919, Shippey returned to the United States, confessed his love for Madeleine and asked his wife, Mary, for a divorce. She refused. Shippey resumed writing his column, "Missouri Notes," for the Kansas City Star. In November, Madeleine arrived in Kansas City and "revealed to Shippey that she was about to become a mother. Her mother and sister arrived about Christmas." Mary Shippey again refused a divorce but offered to care for the child as her own.When Shippey turned her down, she informed the Star of the situation and Shippey was discharged. (In his memoir, he said he resigned.) He then left for California, and Mary reported the case to American immigration authorities, who in February 1920 opened an inquiry into what the Chicago Daily Tribune called "a Franco-American romance and an American tragedy. ""Seeking to Deport Girl," Los Angeles Times, February 27, 1920, page II-1  Library card required
Testimony was taken in secret by the immigration commissioner and a transcript of the evidence, with the recommendations of the immigration inspector regarding deportation, has been sent to the department of labor in Washington for final action. <mask> and Madeleine's child, Henry George <mask>, was born in Kansas City on May 8, 1920. In June the warrants for the arrest and deportation of the Babin family were canceled by Louis F. Post, the assistant U.S. secretary of labor, who noted that the Babin family had come to the United States "at the invitation" of Shippey, who "if he were divorced he would marry the alien, who is about to be, if she has not already become, the mother of his child." The New York Times noted that Madeleine was "supporting herself by sewing and giving French lessons."In early 1921 <mask> and Madeleine were living in Tampico, Mexico, where <mask> was editing a newspaper and free-lancing. On January 12 of that year <mask> sued <mask> for divorce in a Kansas City, Missouri, court, mentioning the name of Madeleine Babin in the complaint. Mary's petition charged that <mask> "habitually consorted with immoral women and now is living in open and notorious adultery with women of well-known immoral character." <mask> responded with a divorce suit in a Tamaulipas, Mexico, court, claiming that Mary's suit was not filed in good faith but rather to "cause grief and injury." He said she had threatened to leave him for another man while <mask> was in France and that they had "never lived in the harmony which should characterize the marital relation." On September 29, 1921,  <mask> was granted a divorce from <mask> after being on the witness stand for four hours, and the next month <mask> and Madeleine were married in Mexico City.

They moved to Del Mar, California, where Shippey struggled as a free-lance writer and was on the contributing staff of the old Life humor magazine.Los Angeles Times career

A story that Shippey had written in 1918 from Verdun, France, telling of the end of World War I attracted the attention of Harry Chandler, publisher of the Los Angeles Times,  who commented, "A fellow who can write like that can join the Times family any time he wants to." Nine years later Shippey asked Chandler for a job, and he was hired to "Get out and find human interest stuff anywhere in the State; find out what the ordinary and extraordinary people of California are about; dig up stuff that the tourists, and even the natives have not discovered about themselves." For the next two decades, Shippey wrote columns for the Times — "The Lee Side o' L.A." and "The Seymour Family," living for some of that time in Sierra Madre, California. Retirement and death

Shippey retired in 1949, moved back to Del Mar, where he started writing columns for three San Diego County newspapers — including the San Diego Union and the Del Mar Surfcomber. In 1956, <mask>, then 72, was honored by the Authors Guild of Los Angeles for his "half-century of service as a journalist, author and 'friend to man.' " President Paul Wellman cited <mask>'s "astonishing array" of published works and lauded him as a man of "good humor, discernment and, above all, sympathy." He said Shippey had "immense kindliness of spirit," with a "warm grin for everybody and a sage philosophy of life."Shippey died on December 30, 1969, in a nursing home in Encinitas, California, at the age of 86. He was survived by his five children by his second wife — Henry George, Charles Stuart III, John James, Francis Robert and Sylvia Georgette Thomas. Madeleine died October 20, 1978, in Weaverville, California, and was also buried in El Camino Memorial Park, San Diego. Books

He is best known for his appearances with professional wrestling promotions in the Southeastern United States, in particular with Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling – where he had 23 championship reigns and led the stable <mask>' Army – and Championship Wrestling from Florida. Early life
Frederik was born on June 16, 1942 in Port Arthur, Texas. He attended Thomas Jefferson High School. As a teenager, he boxed, spending seven years as a Golden Gloves boxer and winning the Texas Light Heavyweight Championship and Texas Heavyweight Championship. While working in a television studio, he met <mask>, who suggested he become a professional wrestler and offered to train him. Professional wrestling career

Early career (1961–1968)
Frederik was trained to wrestle by <mask> and Morris Sigel, debuting in 1961 under the ring name "<mask>".During his early career, he competed primarily for promotions in the Southern United States including the Texas-based promotion Big Time Wrestling, the Tennessee-based promotion NWA Mid-America and Championship Wrestling from Florida. He was nicknamed "Young" <mask> by promoter <mask> during his stint in Texas to distinguish him from Andrew Lutzi, a Russian-born veteran wrestler who had used the same name. From late-1964 to early-1965, <mask> toured Australia with World Championship Wrestling, wrestling as "Al Fredericks". After returning to the United States, he competed for the Oregon-based promotion Pacific Northwest Wrestling, holding the NWA Pacific Northwest Heavyweight Championship on two occasions and the NWA Pacific Northwest Tag Team Championship once, and in Canada for Northwest Wrestling Promotions in British Columbia and Alex Turk Promotions in Manitoba. He returned to the Southern United States in mid-1967. In 1969, <mask> appeared with the California-based promotion NWA Hollywood Wrestling, briefly holding the NWA Americas Tag Team Championship with Nelson Royal in 1969. In the same year, he toured Japan with the Japan Pro Wrestling Alliance, making repeat tours in 1970 and 1971.In 1973, he made a fourth tour of Japan, this time with All Japan Pro Wrestling. Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling (1968–1972)
<mask> first appeared with the North Carolina-based promotion Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling in 1968, forming a face tag team with veteran Nelson Royal. In September 1970, the duo defeated The Minnesota Wrecking Crew to win the NWA Atlantic Coast Tag Team Championship.

In 1972, <mask> returned to Championship Wrestling from Florida, where he adopted a brash heel persona and the nickname "Number One" <mask>. <mask> was convinced to become a heel by Jack Brisco, who wagered him a case of Canadian Club whisky that he would earn more money in a year as a heel than he ever had as a face.<mask> held the NWA Florida Heavyweight Championship on four occasions, on one occasion in July 1972 throwing the championship belt off the Gandy Bridge into Tampa Bay in front of thousands of spectators in a display of arrogance. <mask> also held the NWA Southern Heavyweight Championship (Florida version) once, the NWA Brass Knuckles Championship (Florida version) once, and the NWA Florida Television Championship twice – for several days in June 1972 holding the NWA Florida Heavyweight Championship, NWA Florida Television Championship and NWA Brass Knuckles Championship (Florida version) simultaneously – before leaving in 1974. <mask> briefly returned to the promotion once more in 1980, performing under a mask as "Mr. Florida" until being unmasked by The Super Destroyer. Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling / World Championship Wrestling (1974 - 1989)

Championship reigns (1974–1982)
<mask> resumed appearing regularly with Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling in early 1974. In April 1974, he and Bob Bruggers defeated The Andersons for the NWA Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Championship, losing the championship to Ric Flair and Rip Hawk in July 1974. <mask> won his first NWA Mid-Atlantic Television Championship several days later, defeating Ivan Koloff in a Texas Death Match. He held the championship until October, when Koloff defeated him in a rematch.<mask> held the championship on a total of five occasions over the next four years. <mask> and Tiger Conway Jr. won the NWA Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Championship from Flair and Hawk in December 1974, losing to The Andersons in February 1975. <mask> began feuding with Johnny Valentine, with a match between them on December 25, 1974 selling out the Park Center. In March 1975, <mask> defeated Valentine to win the NWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Championship in controversial fashion; he was stripped of the championship 10 days later. In May 1975, <mask> and Wahoo McDaniel defeated The Andersons to win the NWA World Tag Team Championship (Mid-Atlantic version). The Andersons regained the championship the next month in a televised rematch known as the "Supreme Sacrifice" match, which saw Ole Anderson ram his brother Gene's head into McDaniel's head with enough
force to knock both men unconscious, enabling Ole Anderson to pin McDaniel. After the NWA United States Heavyweight Championship (Mid-Atlantic version) was vacated when Johnny Valentine was injured in a plane crash, <mask> competed in a one-night tournament on November 9, 1975 to crown a new champion, winning four bouts before losing to Terry Funk in the final.<mask> defeated Funk for the championship in a rematch held later that month. He went on to trade the championship with Blackjack Mulligan, holding it on a total of three occasions before his final reign ended in December 1976.

They held the NWA World Tag Team Championship (Mid-Atlantic version) on one occasion and the NWA Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Championship on three occasions. Their alliance ended in December 1978 when <mask> attacked Steamboat at the end of a battle royal, turning heel. In 1977, <mask> wrestled for Georgia Championship Wrestling for several months, feuding with Dick Slater and briefly holding the NWA Georgia Heavyweight Championship. From 1979 to 1984, he appeared sporadically with Maple Leaf Wrestling in Ontario, Canada.After turning heel, <mask> formed a new alliance with Baron von Raschke (whom <mask> had had a brief feud with prior), with the duo winning the NWA World Tag Team Championship (Mid-Atlantic version) twice in 1979 and feuding with tag teams such as Flair and Mulligan and Jay Youngblood and Steamboat. The team ended when <mask> turned on von Raschke. <mask> subsequently began teaming with The Masked Superstar (another former foe), winning the NWA World Tag Team Championship (Mid-Atlantic version) again in 1980 and 1981. In 1982, Sir Oliver Humperdink began managing <mask>. He held the NWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Championship twice more in 1982, trading the championship with Jack Brisco. <mask>' Army (1982–1989)

In 1982, <mask> became a manager, forming a large stable called <mask>' Army. Many of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling's top heels were members of <mask>' stable at one time, among them The Masked Superstar, Superstar Billy Graham, Ivan Koloff, Rick Rude, Manny Fernandez, Abdullah the Butcher, and The Powers of Pain.<mask>' character had a "startlingly uncomfortable presence"; at one point, he began wearing khakis and jackboots and cultivated a toothbrush moustache, giving him an appearance reminiscent of Adolf Hitler. <mask>' villainous behaviour led fans to mock him with chants of "weasel". By 1983, <mask> had largely retired from in-ring competition due to accumulated back injuries. That year, <mask> developed a gimmick of wearing tuxedos, and created an angle in which he held a contest in which a large poster of himself dressed in a white tuxedo would be awarded as a prize to the winner. This led to a memorable episode of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling, in which the winner of the poster was revealed to be a young, attractive woman. As she walked onto the ringside set to claim her prize, she attempted to embrace <mask> with a kiss as her way of thanking him; but <mask> backed away quickly and proceeded to berate her violently. Rufus R<mask> then came to the lady's rescue, and was attacked by <mask>.<mask> then shoved the terrified young lady between himself and Rufus to block Rufus' defensive attack. This angle led to a brief feud between <mask> and Rufus R<mask>. In the mid-1980s, <mask> began a lengthy (and perhaps his most famous) feud with Jimmy Valiant. The feud culminated in a hair versus hair match in November 1986 that was won by Valiant. <mask> then began wearing a cowboy hat until his hair grew back to conceal his baldness. In 1988, The Powers of Pain began feuding with The Road Warriors, with <mask> claiming that The Powers of Pain were stronger than their opponents. In a memorable angle that aired on NWA World Championship Wrestling, The Powers of Pain faced The Road Warriors in a weightlifting contest with $50,000 on the line.The contest ended abruptly when Ivan Koloff blinded Road Warrior Animal using chalk dust, enabling The Powers of Pain to beat down The Road Warriors. <mask> left Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling - which had in the prior year been renamed World Championship Wrestling - in 1989. Late career (1989–1991)
<mask> spent the final years of his career competing on the independent circuit for promotions including the Pennsylvania-based Tri-State Wrestling Alliance and the North Carolina-based promotion South Atlantic Pro Wrestling. In 1990, he briefly held the SAPW Heavyweight Championship. Retirement (1991–2018)
Frederik retired from professional wrestling in 1991. After retiring, he opened a body shop in Charlotte, North Carolina, later relocating to Georgia. Death
Frederik died in the week of April 18, 2018, at his home near Atlanta.

title: Bentley Beetham

texts:
<mask> (1 May 1886 – 5 April 1963) was an English mountaineer, ornithologist and photographer, and a member of the 1924 British Mount Everest expedition. Early life
<mask> was born in Darlington in 1886, the second son of <mask> and <mask>. His mother's maiden name was <mask>. <mask>'s father, a bank manager in Darlington, died when <mask> was four years old. Until the age of eight <mask> was educated at Mr Bowman's Preparatory School; he then attended Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, Darlington, where his brother John was already a pupil. From 1899 to 1903 he attended the North Eastern County School (now called Barnard Castle School) at Barnard Castle, where he was a boarder. He left school at the age of sixteen.Career
For some years after leaving school <mask> worked in an architect's office in Darlington, then from 1903 to 1914 he was busy with field research, writing books and articles, photography and giving lectures. In 1914, having established himself as a leading ornithologist, he returned to the North Eastern County School as a schoolmaster, teaching natural history. A Fellow of the Zoological Society of London, in 1927 he was elected a member of the Royal Geographical Society. He retired in 1949, and moved to Cotherstone. In 1962 he was disabled by a stroke and spent his last year in a nursing home, where he died on 5 April 1963. His ashes were scattered from the top of Shepherd's Crag, Borrowdale. Ornithology
From 1903 to 1914 <mask> devoted much time to his passion for ornithology.Amongst his expeditions, always undertaken with a camera in hand, were trips to the coast in the north-east of England, where he developed a technique for photographing gannets that involved abseiling down cliffs with the rope attached to a stake that was driven into the ground at the top of the cliff. <mask> at this time used a cumbersome and heavy Sanderson half-plate field camera. Rock climbing and mountaineering
<mask> started rock climbing in the English Lake District, although his re-ascents of the sea-cliffs on the north-east coast, once he had captured images of birds on photographic plates, involved much use of the hands. In the Lakes he used Wasdale Head as a base and commenced a friendship with Howard Somervell. Together they made ascents of the classic Lakeland climbs in the period before the First World War. After the war, <mask> and Somervell started climbing in the Alps, initially under the supervision of the 60-year-old Godfrey Solly in Chamonix, and subsequently on their own and without guides. In 1924, <mask>, along with Somervell (who had already been on the 1922 British Mount Everest Expedition), was chosen by the Mount Everest Committee to be a member of the ill-fated 1924 British Mount Everest expedition, on which Mallory and Irvine were killed.<mask> suffered from dysentery and sciatica and never made it high on the mountain. In his 2012 book Into the Silence, Wade Davis argues that <mask> – whom he considered an ill-advised selection for the expedition – prevented the most qualified and promising English climber of the period, Richard Graham, from joining. Graham had been a conscientious objector during the First World War, which became the basis of a whispering campaign by <mask>, even though <mask> had not fought himself. By contrast, Captain John Noel wrote:
 It was during this expedition that <mask> took his highly regarded photographs of Tibet. <mask> made numerous expeditions to other ranges in the world, including the Tatra Mountains of Czechoslovakia, Chile, the Drakensberg, the Lofoten islands and Spitsbergen. He is most associated with the High Atlas mountains of Morocco, which he visited on five separate occasions. His first visit was in 1927, together with G. Thompson, during which he made the first British ascents of many peaks in the Toubkal region.<mask>'s name is familiar to anyone who climbs in the Borrowdale valley in the Lake District. He made the first ascent, often solo, of numerous classic climbs in the valley, including "Little Chamonix" and "Corvus", and wrote the third edition of the Fell & Rock Climbing Club guidebook to the valley, published in 1953. The 1990 guide to the valley notes that <mask>, "with the Goldsborough Club of Barnard Castle School, surveyed every sizable crag in the valley, working out well over a hundred routes with a wide range of difficulty". <mask> was responsible for developing the most popular crag in the valley, Shepherd's Crag, which lies just above the main road that runs beside Derwentwater. In an article in The Journal of the Fell & Rock Climbing Club (1946), <mask> explained the attraction of climbing in Borrowdale, comparing the experience with that found on the more traditional higher crags of the Lakes. Bentley Beetham Trust
A collection of <mask>'s photographs – those he took in Tibet on the 1924 expedition, considered "an important historical record of Tibetan culture", as well as photographs of Barnard Castle, Teesdale, the Alps, the Atlas and Tatra mountains – is held in Palace Green Library next to Durham Cathedral. The collection is supervised by the Bentley Beetham Trust in conjunction with the University of Durham.Selected publications by Beetham

title: Albert Mohler

texts:
<mask>. (born 1959) is an American evangelical theologian, the ninth president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, and host of the podcast The Briefing, where he daily analyzes the news and recent events from a evangelical perspective. He has been described as "one of America's most influential evangelicals". Education and personal life
<mask> was born on October 19, 1959, in Lakeland, Florida. During his Lakeland years, he attended Southside Baptist Church. <mask> attended college at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton in Palm Beach County as a Faculty Scholar. He then received a Bachelor of Arts from Samford University, a private, coeducational Baptist-affiliated college in Birmingham, Alabama. His Master of Divinity and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in systematic and historical theology were conferred by the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.Career
In addition to his presidency at SBTS, <mask> was the host of The Albert Mohler Program, a nationwide radio show "devoted to engaging contemporary culture with Christian beliefs." He currently produces a weekday podcast on the news, The Briefing, in which he provides commentary on current events from a Christian point of view, often providing a historical background as well. He also regularly broadcasts interviews with various different people on a podcast called Thinking in Public. He is former vice chairman of the board of Focus on the Family and a member of the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood. Christianity Today recognized <mask> as a leader among American evangelicals, and in 2003 Time called him the "reigning intellectual of the evangelical movement in the U.S." <mask> has presented lectures or addresses at a variety of conservative evangelical universities. <mask> served as editor of The Christian Index, the biweekly newsletter of the Georgia Baptist Convention. From 1985 to 1993 he was Associate Editor of the bi-monthly Preaching Magazine.<mask> also served on the Advisory Council for the 2001 English Standard Version (ESV) of the Bible. <mask> previously blogged on Crosswalk.com, a web site maintained by Salem Web Network of Richmond, Virginia. <mask> currently blogs on his website, where his podcasts can also be listened to for free. In 2018, <mask> labeled turmoil in the Southern Baptist Convention as the SBC's "own horrifying #MeToo moment" and said it stemmed from "an unorganized conspiracy of silence" about sexual misconduct and abuse. He wrote that the SBC's "issues are far deeper and wider" than the controversy surrounding Paige Patterson, who’d been moved that day from president to president emeritus of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. In early 2019, explosive newspaper reports of sexual abuse by church leaders and volunteers shook the Southern Baptist Convention, and <mask> called for independent third-party investigations. Just days after the Houston Chronicle’s 2019 report of allegations of hundreds of sexual abuse cases (some of which were not reported to law enforcement), <mask> apologized in an interview with the newspaper for supporting a religious leader who was accused of helping conceal sexual abuses at his former church.Some have lauded <mask>, while others have questioned the timing and motivations of these comments. One day after <mask>'s remarks to the Houston Chronicle, his Southern Baptist Theological Seminary office released a related statement by him. Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

<mask> joined the staff of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1983 as Coordinator of Foundation Support. In 1987, he became Director of Capital Funding, a post he held until 1989. From 1983 to 1989, while still a student, he had served as assistant to then-President Roy Honeycutt. In February 1993, <mask> was appointed the ninth President of the seminary by the institution's board of trustees to succeed Honeycutt. Theology and other faiths
In 2008, <mask> declined to sign An Evangelical Manifesto, publishing a lengthy explanation for his decision.<mask> is an Evangelical and an exclusivist, which means that he believes Jesus is the only way through which an individual can attain salvation or have a relationship with God the Father. As a Calvinist, <mask> believes that human salvation is a free gift from God which cannot be earned by human action or will and is only given to the elect. He has publicly advanced this position with respect to Judaism, Islam, and Catholicism. He recently stated that "any belief system, any world view, whether it's Zen Buddhism or Hinduism or dialectical materialism for that matter, Marxism, that keeps persons captive and keeps them from coming to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, yes, is a demonstration of Satanic power." He believes Muslims are motivated by demonic power and in the months after the September 11, 2001 attacks, <mask> characterized Islamic views of Jesus as false and destructive:

Media appearances
<mask> appeared on MSNBC's Donahue on August 20, 2002. The subject was Christian evangelization of Jews. <mask> and Michael L. Brown, a Messianic Jew, debated this subject as well as <mask>'s insistence that salvation lies exclusively in the personal acceptance of Christ before the afterlife with Donahue, a Catholic, and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, an Orthodox Jew.On April 15, 2003, <mask> was interviewed by Time on the subject of evangelizing Iraqi Muslims in the form of Christian aid groups. On May 5, 2003, <mask> appeared on NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross to discuss the issue of evangelization of the Iraqis. At issue was whether the coupling of evangelizing with basic human aid relief might be perceived as aggressive or coercive by the Iraqi people, and whether such a perception, if widespread, might place other relief workers in jeopardy. <mask> argued that biblical, evangelical Christianity is not uniquely American, but exists as a movement throughout the world, so that Christian witnessing is not, in his view, to be interpreted as a move on the part of any single nation against the religion of another. At the same time, however, <mask> acknowledged the need for "sensitivity," and distanced himself from the idea that religion coerced. When pressed, <mask> expressed support for the idea of religious freedom as a theoretical matter of law. On December 18, 2004, <mask> debated retired Episcopal bishop John Shelby Spong on Faith Under Fire, a program hosted by Lee Strobel and appearing on PAX, a Christian television network.The subject was the historicity and truthfulness of the Bible. On December 19, 2013, <mask> appeared on CNN to discuss the controversy surrounding comments made by Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty. GLAAD National Spokesman Wilson Cruz was also on the program. Speaking engagements
On November 8–9, 2004, <mask> spoke at the annual meeting of the Florida Baptist State Convention. On May 21, 2005, <mask> gave the commencement address at Union University in Jackson, Tennessee. <mask> told graduates they could display the glory of God by telling and defending the truth, sharing the gospel, engaging the culture, changing the world, loving the church and showing the glory of God in their own lives. On February 25, 2014, <mask> delivered a Forum Lecture in the Marriott Center Arena at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.The title of <mask>'s lecture was, "Strengthen the Things that Remain: Human Dignity, Human Rights, and Human Flourishing in a Dangerous Age." Justice Sunday
<mask> was on the board of directors of Focus on the Family. In this role he was one of the principal organizers of Justice Sunday, a nationally televised event broadcast from Highview Baptist Church, in Louisville on April 24, 2005. <mask> shared the stage with Charles Colson and Focus on the Family founder James Dobson. US Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist appeared at the event via videotape. Another host of the program was Family Research Council president Tony Perkins. The purpose of the broadcast was to mobilize the conservative base in lobbying the United States Senate to curtail debate on the nominations to the federal judiciary made by George W. Bush.Theological views

Catholics and the Pope
<mask> believes the Catholic Church is a "false church" that teaches a "false gospel" and that the Pope's office is not legitimate. During a March 13, 2014 podcast of The Briefing, <mask> stated that Evangelicals "simply cannot accept the legitimacy of the papacy" and that "to do otherwise would be to compromise Biblical truth and reverse the Reformation." <mask> has denounced Pope Francis for his perceived left-leaning leadership. <mask> stated that he was one of the original signatories to the Manhattan Declaration because it is a limited ecumenical statement of Christian conviction on the topics of abortion, euthanasia and gay marriage, and not a wide-ranging theological document that subverts confessional integrity. He emphasized that he signed the document in spite of his deep theological disagreements with the Catholic Church. Deliberate childlessness
<mask> spoke in June 2004, about married adults who choose not to have children. <mask> has also been critical of birth control methods that prevent implantation of the fertilized egg, which he believes "involve nothing less than an early abortion."He has attempted to bring about a new reflection on the topic within evangelical opinion. Gender roles and sexuality
