title: Mickey Tettleton

texts:
<mask> (born September 16, 1960) is an American former professional baseball player. He played in Major League Baseball for the Oakland Athletics, Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers, and Texas Rangers. Although Tettleton played mostly as a catcher, he also played as a first baseman, an outfielder, and as a designated hitter. A two-time All-Star, Tettleton was considered one of the best-hitting catchers of his era, winning three Silver Slugger Awards. His powerful hitting was highlighted when he became only the fifth player in major league history to hit two home runs over the right field roof of Tiger Stadium and, in 1992 he became the first player to hit a ball onto Eutaw Street which runs behind right field at Baltimore's Camden Yards. At the time of his retirement, Tettleton ranked eighth in major league history in career home runs by a switch-hitter. His .369 career on-base percentage ranks him 10th highest all-time among major league catchers.His .821 on-base plus slugging percentage is 11th highest all-time among major league catchers. Amateur career

Tettleton was born in Oklahoma City and, was named after Baseball Hall of Fame member and fellow Oklahoman <mask>. Like the former Yankee star, Tettleton was a switch hitter and was recognized for having an unusual batting stance: he stood almost straight up at the plate, holding his bat horizontal and bending only when the pitcher began his delivery. He was also distinguished by the huge wad of chewing tobacco he kept in his cheek during games, as well as his claim that Froot Loops were the source of his hitting power. Tettleton attended Southeast High School in Oklahoma City before enrolling at Oklahoma State University. In 1980, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Wareham Gatemen of the Cape Cod Baseball League. He played for the Oklahoma State Cowboys baseball team that reached the finals in the 1981 College World Series, before losing to the Arizona State Sun Devils.Tettleton was named to the 1981 College World Series All-Tournament Team as an outfielder. Professional career

Oakland Athletics
Tettleton was drafted by the Oakland Athletics in the fifth round of the 1981 Major League Baseball draft. He spent three seasons in the minor leagues playing for the Modesto Athletics of the California League. He began the 1984 season with the Double-A Albany A's but was promoted to the major leagues in June when Athletics catcher Jim Essian suffered a broken hand. Tettleton made his major league debut with Oakland on June 30, 1984, at the age of 23. He served as a backup catcher to Mike Heath until December 1985, when the Athletics traded Heath and Tim Conroy to the St. Louis Cardinals for Joaquín Andújar, keeping Tettleton as their starting catcher. Tettleton was given the starting catcher's job for the 1986 season, but his offensive statistics failed to impress.He posted a .204 batting average in 90 games, along with 10 home runs and 35 runs batted in. His defensive abilities were termed as adequate. By the end of the season, Athletics manager Tony La Russa had Tettleton platooning with the left-hand hitting catcher, Jerry Willard. Tettleton began the 1987 season as the Athletics starting catcher. However, injuries and weak hitting limited him to 82 games, as newcomer Terry Steinbach began to make a positive impression. He ended the year with a dismal .194 batting average. On March 28, 1988, the Athletics released Tettleton during spring training.On April 5, he signed a contract to play for the Rochester Red Wings in the Baltimore Orioles organisation. Baltimore Orioles
Tettleton started the season in Rochester but was soon called back to the major leagues, where he shared catching duties with Terry Kennedy in 1988, and improved his batting average significantly to .261. 1989 was a breakout year for Tettleton as he started the season hitting 13 home runs in April and May, setting a new major league record for catchers. He hit 20 home runs by midseason, earning him a place as a reserve player for the American League team in the 1989 All-Star Game. In August, Tettleton had to undergo surgery to remove a cyst from his left knee and missed almost one month. He finished the season with a .258 batting average, 26 home runs, 65 runs batted in, and an impressive .369 on-base percentage, helping the Orioles improve from last place in the American League East in 1988 to second place in 1989, two games behind the Toronto Blue Jays. Tettleton's hitting performance earned him the 1989 American League Silver Slugger Award, which is awarded annually to the best offensive player at each position.Tettleton's offensive output dropped in 1990 with a .223 batting average, 15 home runs, and 51 runs batted in. Although he struck out 160 times, setting a major league strikeout record for switch hitters, his on-base percentage increased from the previous year to .376, in part due to the 106 base on balls. In October, he was selected to the Associated Press All-Star team. At the end of the year, Tettleton opted for free agency, then surprised the Orioles by accepting their salary arbitration offer. They had expected him to accept a higher offer from another team and were not prepared to pay him more than $1 million. Two days after acquiring high-priced players Glenn Davis and Dwight Evans, the Orioles traded Tettleton to the Detroit Tigers for pitcher Jeff Robinson in what was seen as a cost-saving measure on the part of the Orioles. Detroit Tigers
Tettleton's batting rebounded in 1991, producing his highest home run totals, including a stretch in late June when he hit 7 home runs in seven games.He also became only the fifth player in major league history to hit two home runs over the right field roof of Tiger Stadium. By the end of the season, he had compiled a .263 batting average with 31 home runs, 89 runs batted in, and a .387 on-base percentage, earning his second Silver Slugger Award and helping the Tigers to finish second in the American League East Division. In October, he was selected to the Associated Press All-Star team for a second time. On October 27, 1991, the Tigers rewarded his performance by signing him to a three-year contract worth $8.5 million. <mask> had another productive year in 1992. On April 20, he became the first player to hit a ball onto Eutaw Street which runs behind right field at Baltimore's Camden Yards. In a poll of American League managers prior to the 1992 All-Star Game, Tettleton came out on top as their choice to be the starting All-Star catcher.However, the fans voted for Sandy Alomar, Jr. Tettleton produced a .238 batting average, a career-high 32 home runs, 83 runs batted in, a .379 on-base percentage, and led the American League with 122 base on balls, to win his third Silver Slugger Award. He also led American League catchers with a .996 fielding percentage, committing only 2 errors in 113 games as a catcher. In a 1992 computer ranking of major league players, which used offensive and defensive statistics over the previous two seasons, Tettleton was ranked first among American League catchers. In October, he was selected as the catcher for the Sporting News American League All-Star team. Tettleton continued to produce respectable offensive statistics in 1993. By midseason, he was tied with Barry Bonds for the major league home run lead of 24, along with 73 runs batted in, yet he was once again snubbed by fans in the voting for the 1993 All-Star Game. Cito Gaston, the American League manager for the All-Star game, also received criticism for failing to name Tettleton as a reserve player.In order to get more bats in the lineup, Detroit manager Sparky Anderson began to use Tettleton at other positions: he played 59 games as a first baseman, 56 games as a catcher, and 55 games as an outfielder. He ended the season with a .245 batting average and a .372 on-base percentage, along with 32 home runs and a career-high 110 runs batted in, helping the Tigers lead the American League in runs for the second consecutive year. Tettleton had 14 home runs and 41 runs batted in at the All-Star break in 1994 and was selected by Cito Gaston as a reserve player in the 1994 All-Star Game, perhaps to make amends for the previous year's snub. He continued to play as a first baseman and an outfielder; however, the majority of his games were played as catcher until the season ended prematurely when major league players decided to go on strike in August. In the final year of his contract with the Tigers, Tettleton's offensive statistics dropped to a .248 average with 17 home runs and 51 runs batted in, although he posted a career-high .419 on-base percentage. Texas Rangers
Tettleton was granted free agency, and in April 1995, he signed a one-year contract for $550,000 to play for the Texas Rangers. With Iván Rodríguez having a secure hold on the Rangers' catching job, Tettleton played mostly as a right fielder and designated hitter.He posted a .238 batting average and matched his career high with 32 home runs along with 72 runs batted in. In December 1995, he turned down a lucrative offer from the New York Yankees and chose to remain with the Rangers, signing a two-year contract worth $2.5 million. He continued to play mostly as a designated hitter and occasional first baseman, ending the year with a .246 average, 24 home runs, and 83 runs batted in, to help the Rangers clinch the 1996 American League West Division title. In the 1996 American League Division Series against the New York Yankees, Tettleton struggled in the only post-season appearance of his career, striking out seven times and hitting for just an .083 batting average, as the Rangers lost the series in four games. Playing exclusively as a designated hitter in 1997, he was hitting for just a .091 average in 17 games when he announced his retirement in July at the age of 36. Career statistics
In a thirteen-year major league career, Tettleton played in 1,485 games, accumulating 1,132 hits in 4,698 at bats, for a .241 career batting average, along with 245 home runs, 732 runs batted in, and a .369 on-base percentage. He retired with a .991 fielding percentage in 872 games as a catcher, a .979 fielding percentage in 142 games as an outfielder, and a .986 fielding percentage in 125 games as a first baseman.Tettleton hit over 30 home runs four times in his career, and was also known for his patience at the plate, accumulating 949 career walks. He led the American League in 1992 with 122 walks and finished in the top ten in six other seasons, including second three times. But his selective style at the plate, combined with his power-hitting mentality, led to Tettleton's 1,307 career strike-outs, 105th on baseball's all-time list as of 2010. In his book, The Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract, baseball historian Bill James ranked Tettleton 37th all-time among major league catchers. Coaching career
In 2019, Tettleton was named assistant coach at Oklahoma Christian University, and also served as hitting coach for the Chatham Anglers of the Cape Cod Baseball League. Personal life
Tettleton and his wife, Shannon have four children – Tyler, who is the offensive quality control coach for the Cleveland Browns., Jessica, Shanny and Tate. In 1994, Tettleton made a cameo appearance in the film, Little Big League, about a 12-year-old boy who inherits a major league baseball team.See also

is a Japanese professional baseball catcher for the Yokohama DeNA BayStars in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball. Early Baseball Career
A native of Okazaki, he began playing baseball at the age of five due to the influence of his father. He played as a pitcher and infielder for the Okazaki Little League club during his elementary years. When he entered Tokai Junior High, he joined the East Nagoya Stars baseball club and changed his position to catcher. In his 2nd year in Meitoku Gijuku High School, he led his team in RBIs during the Kochi prefectural spring baseball tournament, and was also selected to play in friendly matches with USA and Taiwan. His school also won the runner up in the Kochi summer tournament finals in his 3rd year. He hit 13 home runs in his entire high school career.He was chosen by the Orix Buffaloes as their third round pick during the 2007 high school draft. Orix Buffaloes

2008

He spent his first year training to improve his skills as catcher in the team's Western League games. But due to his young age and lack of experience, he only batted at an average of 0.192 in 40 games with a strike-out rate of 0.25. Defense-wise, he had the most number of passed balls. Nevertheless, he had the most number of game appearances among the team's rookie catchers. He was finally given a chance at the first squad when he made his debut on the September 19 match against the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters. Even though he didn't hit any home runs in any of his League games, he was able to hit two during inter-squad games.2009

On the spring of his 2nd year, he underwent surgery to treat his herniated disc. Even though he only required 2 weeks of rest after surgery and aimed to return to play after 3 months, he was not given any plate appearances for the season. Also, because his left calf muscle suffered at the aftermath of his surgery, Manager Daijiro Oishi thought it best not to rush him into play. 2010

Upon being allowed to play in 2nd squad games after a year of absence, he was reported to have burst into tears when he made his first hit. He was given another chance to appear in two ichi-gun matches during the latter part of the season. During postseason, he was assigned the jersey number 54, and his former number (61) was assigned to former major-leaguer Chan Ho Park who just joined the team at that time. 2011

With new Manager Akinobu Okada seeing his potential as the team's main catcher, <mask> was assigned to the ichi-gun camp and eventually made his way to the team's starting line up.Despite being demoted to ni-gun twice during his occasional slumps, he rose to the occasion when he teamed up with ace Chihiro Kaneko, and his starts gradually increased. And ever since he helped Yuki Nishi achieve his first official win and Hayato Terahara notch his first shutout victory in 3 years, he formed batteries with them in most of their games for the rest of the season. He hit his first career home-run on the May 25 game versus the Swallows. His momentum was halted, however, when his right index finger was fractured in a collision at the home plate with Seibu's Takeya Nakamura during the September 11 match, and he was required to rest for the remainder of the season. Even though he finished with a career-high of 66 games, his batting skills remained below par (0.156 batting average, 0.36 KO rate). He did, however, top the team in fielding with a caught stealing percentage of 0.318. His jersey number was again changed to 22 during postseason.2012

Throughout the season, he alternated with Fumihiro Suzuki and Toshio Saito as the team's starting catchers. On the April 8 game versus the Eagles, he batted a sacrifice fly to score a run, helped Hiroshi Kisanuki notch a 5-hit shutout win, to experience his first ever hero interview. Four days later, he was hit on the head by a full swing from Josh Whitesell's bat and was carried off the field on a stretcher and taken to a hospital in Chiba, where he was diagnosed with a contusion on the right side of his head. On the offensive, he batted in 36 hits and 10 RBIs, with an improved average of .205. Defense-wise, he was able to team up with most of Orix's pitchers in 66 game appearances. On their last regular season game on October 8, he led the younger Yuki Nishi to accomplish the highly coveted no-hit no-run against the SoftBank Hawks (3-0). The 76th no-hitter in NPB history and the 8th for Orix, the game was only one walk away to being a perfect game.He and Tomotaka Sakaguchi were named Vice Chairmen in the Orix player's meeting during off season. 2013

With the retirement of mainstay catcher Fumihiro Suzuki and Takeshi Hidaka exercising his domestic free agency option, <mask> ultimately became the team's main catcher. With his goal to appear in at least 100 games as main catcher, he played from the season's opening series then steadily continued to deliver in the team's succeeding matches. It came as no surprise therefore when he received the fans' topmost votes among the Pacific League catchers in the All-Star ballot, and went on to experience his first All-Star game in July. He more than doubled his appearances last season to a total of 137 games, breaking Hidaka's previous franchise record of 134 games in 2008. His hitting saw an improvement during the first half of the season (0.30 average), but he went on a hitless slump for the entire August. He recovered in the next two months and batted even better at 0.33, making a season average of 0.285.He even managed to hit consecutive home runs on the October 6 & 7 games versus the Marines. In November, he participated in the 2013 Baseball Challenge, where Japan swept Chinese Taipei in the friendly three-game series. 2014

With the entry of former SoftBank catcher Katsuki Yamazaki, even though <mask> appeared in the same number of games as the previous year, his plate appearances decreased. Nevertheless, he managed to surpass his previous record of RBIs by 8 runs. He led the Pacific League in both offense and defense as a catcher, earning himself both Best Nine and Golden Glove awards. He helped Chihiro Kaneko achieve the lowest ERA among this year's NPB pitchers, and together, they were given the League's Battery Award via unanimous panel decision. He was chosen as the player's chairman for 2015 during offseason, and participated in the 2014 Suzuki All-Star Series, a five-game friendly competition with a squad of US major leaguers.Playing style
His right arm can throw at a distance of 120 meters, while his 50-meter dash is clocked at 6.0 seconds. Overall, he's a well-rounded player in terms of speed, offense and defense, but his hitting and strikeout rates still have room for improvement. He has a reputation for drawing out the best in pitchers by using their strengths to their advantage. References

title: Bernard F. Fisher

texts:
<mask> "Bernie" <mask> (pronounced Bernerd) (January 11, 1927 – August 16, 2014) was a United States Air Force officer and a recipient of the U.S. military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor. He was the first Air Force member to receive the medal in the Vietnam War. Early life
Born in 1927 in San Bernardino, California, <mask> was raised and educated in Utah, calling Clearfield home. He served briefly in the Navy at the end of World War II, enrolled at Boise State Junior College in 1947, and transferred to the University of Utah in Salt Lake City in 1949. He was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Military service
From 1947 to 1951, <mask> was a member of the Idaho Air National Guard. Before he was able to complete his undergraduate degree at the University of Utah, he was commissioned into the Air Force in 1951.After pilot training, he served as a jet fighter pilot in the Air Defense Command until 1965, when he volunteered for duty in Vietnam. From July 1965 through June 1966, he flew 200 combat sorties in the A-1E/H "Spad" Skyraider as a member of the 1st Air Commando Squadron located at Pleiku Air Base, South Vietnam. Medal of Honor

During March 10, 1966, he led a two-ship element of Skyraiders to the A Shau Valley to support troops in contact with the enemy. Six "Spads" were striking numerous emplacements when the A-1 piloted by Major Dafford Wayne "Jump" Myers (1919-1992) was hit and forced to crash-land on the airstrip of a CIDG-Special Forces camp. Myers bellied in on the 2,500-foot runway and took cover behind an embankment on the edge of the strip while <mask> directed the rescue effort. Since the closest helicopter was 30 minutes away and the enemy was only  from Myers, <mask> quickly decided to land his two-seat A-1E on the strip and pick up his friend. Under the cover provided by the other A-1s, he landed in the valley, taxied to Myer's position, and loaded the downed airman into the empty seat.Dodging shell holes and debris on the steel-planked runway, <mask> took off safely despite many hits on his aircraft by small-arms fire. The rescue at A Shau was similar to an event that occurred on August 4, 1944, during World War II. On that date, an P-38 piloted by Captain Richard "Dick" Willsie (1920–2013) was damaged by flak near Ploieşti, Romania. After both engines failed, Willsie crash-landed but was rescued from capture when Flight Officer Richard "Dick" Andrews (1924–2007) landed his P-38 on the field, squeezed Willsie into the cockpit, and flew back to base. By remarkable coincidence, both Willsie and Andrews were also involved in the A Shau rescue. Willsie was the commanding officer of the 602nd Air Commando Squadron to which Myers was assigned, and Andrews flew top cover during the entire rescue. <mask> had earned a Silver Star the day before while flying support for the same battle.<mask> returned to the United States, and, on January 19, 1967, was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Lyndon B. Johnson

Post-Vietnam service

<mask> returned to the Air Defense Command and flew jet interceptors. He served with the 496th Fighter Interceptor Squadron out of Hahn Air Base, West Germany, and then with the 525th Fighter Interceptor Squadron at Bitburg Air Base, West Germany. In October 1969, he became Operations Officer with the 87th Fighter Interceptor Squadron at Duluth International Airport, Minnesota, serving in this squadron until June 1971, when he became Senior Air Force Advisor for the 25th Air Division at Gowen Air National Guard Base in Boise, Idaho, until his retirement from the Air Force on June 30, 1974. Later years
<mask> retired to his hometown of Kuna, Idaho, where he lived with his wife Realla until her death on April 27, 2008. In 1981, <mask> was a Republican candidate for governor in Idaho. In 1985 and again in 2005, <mask> was inducted into the Gathering of Eagles program and told the story of the rescue during the Battle of A Shau to groups of young military officers. On May 3, 2008, <mask> received his diploma from the University of Utah, 57 years after attending classes.He was officially recognized for his past academic achievements and decorated military career. He died on August 16, 2014. Awards and decorations

Medal of Honor Citation
<mask>'s official Medal of Honor citation reads:
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. On that date, the special forces camp at A Shau was under attack by 2,000 North Vietnamese Army regulars. Hostile troops had positioned themselves between the airstrip and the camp. Other hostile troops had surrounded the camp and were continuously raking it with automatic weapons fire from the surrounding hills. The tops of the 1,500-foot hills were obscured by an 800 foot ceiling, limiting aircraft maneuverability and forcing pilots to operate within range of hostile gun positions, which often were able to fire down on the attacking aircraft.During the battle, Maj. <mask> observed a fellow airman crash land on the battle-torn airstrip. In the belief that the downed pilot was seriously injured and in imminent danger of capture, Maj. <mask> announced his intention to land on the airstrip to effect a rescue. Although aware of the extreme danger and likely failure of such an attempt, he elected to continue. Directing his own air cover, he landed his aircraft and taxied almost the full length of the runway, which was littered with battle debris and parts of an exploded aircraft. While effecting a successful rescue of the downed pilot, heavy ground fire was observed, with 19 bullets striking his aircraft. In the face of the withering ground fire, he applied power and gained enough speed to lift-off at the overrun of the airstrip. Maj. <mask>'s profound concern for his fellow airman, and at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty are in the highest traditions of the U.S. Air Force and reflect great credit upon himself and the Armed Forces of his country.<mask> is the namesake of Colonel <mask> Veterans Memorial Park in Kuna, Idaho; Fisher Park in Clearfield, Utah; the Bernard Fisher Highway, a portion of Utah State Route 193 that passes near Hill Air Force Base; and the Bernard F. Fisher Room, located at the 353d Special Operations Group at Kadena Air Base, Japan, and displaying special operations memorabilia. In 1999, a Military Sealift Command vessel, the MV Maj. <mask><mask> (T-AK-4396) was named for him. In 2010 the Boise Rescue Mission started a homeless veterans transitional living program. With permission from Col. <mask>, the Motto of the program is Colonel <mask>'s famous quote after he rescued his comrade: "When a man is down, you don't leave him there." The statement is on the wall of the entrance to the living quarters of the River of Life Mission in Boise. The A-1 Skyraider (AF Ser. No.52-132649) that <mask> flew into the A Shau Valley was saved and restored and is on display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. His past AFROTC Detachment, Detachment 850, has been dubbed the Skyraiders after him. See also

title: Ayumu Hirano

texts:
is a Japanese three-time Olympic medalist snowboarder and Olympic skateboarder. He won the silver medal in the superpipe in 2013 Winter X Games XVII at the age of 14, becoming the youngest medalist in X Games history, and won silver medals in the half-pipe at both the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang and the gold medal at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. He also competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo as a skateboarder, becoming the only athlete, who participated in all of the three consecutive Olympic Games in East Asia between 2018 and 2022. Early life
<mask> was born and raised in a small coastal city called Murakami in Niigata Prefecture situated in a rather snowy area in Japan. His mother named him Ayumu (歩夢), which literally means "walk the dream" (歩＝walk, 夢＝dream), wishing him to become a person who would know the joy of pursuing a dream and the perseverance to make it come true. His father, Hidenori, was a surfer who eventually opened a surf shop, and later made a skate park (Nihonkai Skate Park) from scratch in his hometown of Murakami. The father originally hoped his son, Ayumu, to become a surfer, but the son did not like it much.Instead, he got absorbed in skateboarding, following the footstep of his 3-year-older brother, Eiju. He started skateboarding at the age of 4, and then snowboarding half a year later. He said he did not even remember how he started as he was too young and as it was just so natural for him. He belonged to the skateboarding team "e-Yume Kids" (meaning team "great dream kids") at Nihonkai Skate Park and joined skateboarding competitions. As there was not a halfpipe near their hometown, his father often had to drive <mask> all the way to Yokone ski resort in Yamagata Prefecture, where there was the first official permanent halfpipe in Japan, which, however, is 4 meters narrower than the world standard halfpipe. Burton, one of the leading snowboarding brands, has been sponsoring <mask> since he was a fourth-grader. Career
<mask>'s first big international snowboarding success was in March 2011, when he won the Burton US Junior Open.At the age of 12, the sixth-grader was not officially allowed to enter the open division of the event, where his mentor Kazuhiro Kokubo would win gold and his brother Eiju would take the 7th place. However, between rounds he dropped into the pipe as a "poacher" and amazed the audience. In 2012, he was invited to the Burton High Fives, an open event held in New Zealand to win the gold at the age of 13. In 2013, he was invited to compete in the Winter X Games in Aspen, Colorado, snowboarding's biggest non-Olympic stage, where he won silver in the halfpipe behind Shaun White, who explained: "The Japanese rider who got second is 14 years old. It's amazing!" He continued on with a first place at the Burton European Open, a second place at the Burton US Open (also behind Shaun White), and a third place at the Oakley Arctic Challenge, becoming the 2012/2013 Halfpipe World Tour Champion. With this, he became the youngest rider to achieve this title.In the 2014 Winter Olympics at Sochi, he won the silver, behind Switzerland's Iouri Podladtchikov. <mask> again took the silver in the half pipe at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang; with Shaun White of the U.S. taking the gold and Scotty James of Australia garnering the bronze. <mask> competed in Men's Park Skateboarding at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, placing 14th. <mask> landed the first triple cork in halfpipe competition history at the 2021 Dew Tour at Copper Mountain. <mask> won the half pipe event at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing after outrage sparked by controversial judging of his successful second run where he only scored a 91 in an unprecedented performance that included landing a triple cork which has never been landed in Olympic competition; <mask> then repeated his exceptional performance in the third run, successfully landing the "too dangerous" triple cork again under greater public scrutiny of the judges, and winning the gold medal. <mask> became the first athlete to win gold for Japan in snowboarding at the Winter Olympics, as well as the first Japanese athlete to win Olympic medals for three winter games in a row. Influences
<mask>'s mentor other than his parents is Kazuhiro Kokubo, a Japanese two-time US open winner in the halfpipe.<mask> said in an interview in 2013 by a Japanese magazine, Transworld Snowboarding Japan, "The environment has dramatically changed after I first went to the US. I met Kazu (Kokubo) and Carl (Harris), and it made it possible for me to join Mt. Hood summer camp, and to compete in New Zealand. It gave me the experience in different pipes and I got to see the leading riders ride. I came to understand what world class means and knew what I needed to improve." Kokubo has been mentoring <mask> since 2011, and was assigned as the official technical coach for the Japanese national snowboarder team in 2013 by the Ski Association of Japan to support them in 2012–2013 season. Among <mask>'s other coaches are Ben Boyd and Elijah Teter at Ski & Snowboard Club Vail.<mask>'s father has had the motto of "Personality comes first. The most essential is the most important" throughout his parenting and running his kids' skateboarding team. Personal life
<mask>'s brother, Kaishu <mask>, is also a snowboarder. References

<mask>Flossie<mask> (1913–1992) was an aerological engineer known for advancing the science of naval meteorology during and after World War II. <mask> was born in 1913 in Darien, Connecticut, the daughter of Dutch immigrants. Her mother spoke six languages and was the highest paid officer in the Netherlands before she came over to the United States. <mask>, her father, worked for the world-famous movie company, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, with its main offices located in New York City. His work for MGM often took him to foreign countries, which gave her the opportunity to travel. She spent a school year abroad, in Nice, France, where she improved her French. She was already as proficient in Dutch, German, Italian, and Spanish.Van Straten had initially wanted to be a writer, but enrolled in New York University (NYU) and earned her degree in Chemistry instead. She followed by a Master and received a PhD in physical chemistry at NYU in 1939 where she taught Chemistry until 1942. After the attack on Pearl Harbor (in December 1941), the Navy trained increasing numbers of weather personnel, including several hundred women, to meet the demands of a rapidly expanding force. In 1942 the Navy created the Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES) program. One of the earliest volunteers was <mask>, who was immediately assigned to the Naval Aerology Service. She was then trained as a weather forecaster at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MTI). Lt. <mask>, who had no previous military experience, spent the war at Weather Central in Washington, initially analyzing the use of weather in combat operations in the Pacific.She also wrote the report on the Marshalls–Gilberts raids, tactical airstrikes over islands in Micronesia. The purpose of the reports was to “form a basis for a better understanding of the applications of weather information to future operations.” Later, <mask>n transferred to the R & D section, where she worked for the rest of the war on radar and other new technologies. By 1943, <mask>n had been assigned to the headquarters staff, the Aerology section of the Bureau of Aeronautics, where she worked in the Operational Analysis Section. Here she compiled extensive analyses of the effects of weather on naval operations, from both historical sources and more recent naval actions. In 1946, she became a civilian adviser to the Chief of Naval Operations. After the war, <mask>n continued to work for the Naval Weather Service as a civilian atmospheric physicist where her analytical work on the conditions of the upper atmosphere assisted in the development of long-range missile technology. From 1948 to 1962, she headed the technical requirements section, describing her position as the “application of environmental factors to military operations.” In 1958 she was named the ‘Woman of the Year’ by the women’s wing of the Aero Medical Society of America.She retired in 1962 after 16 years as head of the technical requirements branch of the Naval Weather Service, but continued as a consultant to the Navy on atmospheric physics until 1973. She died of cancer at the age of 78, on March 25, 1992, at her home in Bethesda, Maryland. Research contributions
Van Straten's reports provided examples of how military forces were able to use weather conditions to their advantage, but they also provided examples in which the weather was ignored, to the detriment of the participants. The battle of the Coral Sea in May 1942 was such an instance. The American fleet used the clouds and precipitation of a trailing frontal system to provide cover, slipping out to attack the exposed Japanese naval force and then disappearing again into the heavy weather. In this way they were able to sink the Japanese aircraft carrier Shōhō, seriously damaged another carrier, and shoot down numerous enemy planes. But when they departed the frontal zone to operate in fair weather, they immediately lost the carrier .Van Straten helped develop methods of using weather phenomena, such as storms, in the planning of ship maneuvers and carrier-based airplane flights. Her work also included development of a technique to modify clouds and produce rain by injecting carbon black into the atmosphere. As a weather trouble-shooter for the Navy, she dealt with problems ranging from fog to radioactive fallout. She also developed a radar facsimile system and patented a sonic device for preventing ice buildup on planes. She was instrumental in the development of the rocketsonde, which launched a data-collecting package, called a radiosonde, into the upper atmosphere. It was at her suggestion that meteorological data be used in planning the trajectory of rocket launches. She also developed the constant-altitude weather balloon.The deflated balloon was carried aloft by a bubble of helium. The balloon inflated as the atmosphere became thinner until it was full, at which point its altitude remained constant. She also contributed to the development of the floating weather station the Navy Oceanographic Meteorological Automatic Device (NOMAD). She also contributed to the development of the weather instrument shelter, that protects sensitive instruments from the elements, and the tipping bucket rain gauge which tipped with every 1/100 inch of precipitation and automatically recorded the action at the station.

title: Maria Altmann

texts:
<mask> (née <mask>, later Bloch-Bauer, February 18, 1916 – February 7, 2011) was an Austrian-American Jewish refugee from Austria, who fled her home country after it was annexed to the Third Reich. She is noted for her ultimately successful legal campaign to reclaim from the Government of Austria five family-owned paintings by the artist Gustav Klimt which were stolen by the Nazis during World War II. Early life
<mask> was born <mask> on February 18, 1916 in Vienna, Austria-Hungary, the daughter of Marie Therese (née Bauer 1874–1961) and Gustav Bloch (1862–1938). The family name was changed to Bloch-Bauer the following year. She was a niece of Adele Bloch-Bauer, a wealthy Jewish patron of the arts who served as the model for some of Klimt's best-known paintings and who hosted a renowned Viennese salon that regularly attracted the most prominent artists of the day, including Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss, Arthur Schnitzler, Johannes Brahms, Franz Werfel, Alma Mahler, Leo Slezak, Otto Wagner, George Minne, Karl Renner, Julius Tandler, and Klimt. <mask> was close friends in the 1930s with Viennese actor and soon Hollywood-transplant Walter Slezak. Her nephew was Canadian businessman and arts patron Peter Bentley.In 1937, <mask> married Fredrick "Fritz" <mask>. Not long after their Paris honeymoon, the 1938 Anschluss incorporated Austria into Nazi Germany. Under the Nazis, Fredrick was arrested in Austria and held hostage at the Dachau concentration camp to force his brother <mask>, by then safely in England, to transfer his successful Bernhard Altmann textile factory into German hands. Fredrick was released and the couple fled for their lives. They made a harrowing escape, leaving behind their home, loved ones, and property, including jewelry that later found its way into the collection of Hermann Göring. Many of their friends and relatives were either killed by the Nazis or committed suicide. Traveling by way of Liverpool, England, they reached the United States and settled first in Fall River, Massachusetts, and finally in the wealthy Los Angeles neighborhood of Cheviot Hills.<mask>'s cousin, Ruth Rogers-<mask>, made it out of Vienna around the same time and settled in New York. Shortly after <mask> arrived in Los Angeles, <mask> mailed her a sweater made of cashmere wool – a luxury fabric not yet widely available in the United States – accompanied with the note: "See what you can do with this." <mask> took the sweater to Kerr's Department Store in Beverly Hills and attracted a multitude of buyers in California and across the United States for <mask>'s cashmere sweaters. <mask> became the face of cashmere in California and eventually started her own clothing business. Among her clients was Caroline Brown Tracy, the mother of actor Spencer Tracy. <mask>t case
<mask>'s uncle, Czech sugar magnate Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer, owned a small collection of artwork by the Austrian master Gustav Klimt, including two portraits of his wife, Adele Bloch-Bauer. In her will, Adele, who died in 1925, well before the rise of the Nazis, had asked her husband to leave the Klimts to the Austrian State Gallery upon his death; a much-debated point in more recent years has been whether this request should or should not be considered legally binding upon her husband, who was himself the owner of the paintings. In any event, following the Nazi Anschluss of 1938 and Ferdinand's flight from Austria, the paintings were looted, initially falling into the hands of a Nazi lawyer. Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer died on 13 November 1945, soon after World War II, leaving his estate to a nephew and two nieces, one of whom was <mask>. By this time, six of the paintings, Buchenwald (1903), Adele Bloch-Bauer I (1907), Schloss Kammer am Attersee III (1910), Adele Bloch-Bauer II (1912), Apfelbaum I (1912) and Häuser in Unterach am Attersee (1916), had made their way into the possession of the Austrian government. With Austria under pressure in the 1990s to re-examine its Nazi past, the Austrian Green Party helped pass a new law in 1998 introducing greater transparency into the hitherto murky process of dealing with the issue of restitution of artworks looted during the Nazi period. By opening the archives of the Ministry of Culture for the first time, the new law enabled Austrian investigative journalist Hubertus Czernin to discover that, contrary to what had been generally assumed, Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer had never donated the paintings to the state museum.On learning of Czernin's findings, <mask> at first sought to negotiate with the Austrian government about retrieving some of the paintings. At this stage she asked only for the Klimt landscapes belonging to her family, and was willing to allow Austria to keep the portraits. Her proposal was not, however, treated seriously by the Austrian authorities. In 1999, she sought to sue the government of Austria in an Austrian court. Under Austrian law, however, the filing fee for such a lawsuit is determined as a percentage of the recoverable amount. At the time, the five paintings were estimated to be worth approximately US$135 million, making the filing fee over $1.5 million. Although the Austrian courts later reduced this amount to $350,000, this was still too much for <mask>, and she dropped her case in the Austrian court system.In 2000, <mask> filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Central District of California under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA). The case, Republic of Austria v. <mask>, ended up in the Supreme Court of the United States, which ruled in 2004 that Austria was not immune from such a lawsuit. After this decision, <mask> and Austria agreed to binding arbitration by a panel of three Austrian judges. On 16 January 2006, the arbitration panel ruled that Austria was legally required to return the art to <mask> and the other family heirs, and in March of the same year Austria returned the paintings. The paintings were estimated to be collectively worth at least $150 million when returned. In monetary terms this represented the largest single return of Nazi-looted art in Austria. The paintings left Austria in March 2006 and were on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art until June 30, 2006.Months after the Austrian government returned <mask>'s family's belongings, she consigned the Klimt paintings to the auction house Christie's to be sold on behalf of her family. The painting Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I (1907) was sold to cosmetics heir Ronald Lauder for $135 million, at the time the highest sum ever paid for a painting. Since July 13, 2006, the painting has been on public display in the Neue Galerie in New York City, which was established by Lauder in 2001. The four additional works by Klimt were also exhibited at the Neue Gallerie for several weeks in 2006. In November 2006, Adele Bloch-Bauer II (1912) was sold at auction at Christie's in New York fetching almost $88 million. In total, the four remaining paintings sold at auction for $192.7 million; coupled with the Lauder-bought painting the sum total was approximately $325 million. The proceeds were divided up among several heirs.A share of the money earned through the sale of the paintings was used to found the Maria Altmann Family Foundation, which supports the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust and other public and philanthropic institutions. Death
<mask> died on February 7, 2011 at her home in the Cheviot Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, shortly before her 95th birthday. Obituaries appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, and many other publications internationally. Legacy
<mask>'s story has been recounted in three documentary films. Stealing Klimt, released in 2007, features interviews with <mask> and others who were closely involved with the case from E. Randol Schoenberg to Hubertus Czernin. Adele's Wish, released in 2008 by filmmaker Terrence Turner, features interviews with <mask>, Schoenberg, and leading experts from around the world. The Rape of Europa, a documentary about the Nazi plunder, also included material about Altmann.Her life story and battle to reclaim the family Klimt collection is recounted in the book The Lady in Gold, the Extraordinary Tale of Gustav Klimt's Masterpiece, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer,  by Anne-Marie O'Connor. <mask> is also portrayed in a memoir by her caregiver Gregor Collins, called The Accidental Caregiver: How I Met, Loved, and Lost Legendary Holocaust Refugee <mask>. It was published on August 15, 2012, and documents Collins's and Altmann's chance meeting and three years together, ending at her death in 2011. Collins travels around the world speaking at various venues about their unusual relationship. <mask> is portrayed by Helen Mirren and Tatiana Maslany in the 2015 film Woman in Gold, chronicling <mask>'s nearly decade-long struggle to recover the Klimt paintings. The film also stars Ryan Reynolds as E. Randol Schoenberg. Similarly to Woman in Gold, Laurie Lico Albanese's 2017 historical fiction novel, Stolen Beauty, tells the story of <mask> and her aunt Adele Bloch-Bauer.See also

title: Patrick Treacy

texts:
<mask> is a general practitioner with special interests in dermatology and aesthetic medicine, who is based in Dublin, Ireland. Treacy founded the Ailesbury Clinic and practices in Dublin and Cork. Treacy was the lead cosmetic doctor for Michael Jackson's dermatology and aesthetic treatments during the period he lived in Ireland, and was Irish Regional Representative to the British Association of Cosmetic Doctors. He was listed as the 'Top Aesthetic Practitioner in the World (US) 2019' as well as 'Top Aesthetic Medical Aesthetic Practitioner (UK) 2019', earning himself a spot in the Aesthetic Medicine Hall of Fame. He was also given a special MyFaceMyBody Award recognition in 2018 for his scientific contribution to Aesthetic Medicine and cited amongst their 'Ultimate 100 Global Aesthetic Leaders' both in 2019, 2018 and 2017. <mask> has also been a contributor to television and radio shows such as RTÉ Television, BBC and Dr. Drew on CNN. Early life and education
<mask> was born in Garrison, Fermanagh, Northern Ireland where his parents ran a shop, garage, and filing station.In 1978, he completed an honours degree in biochemistry at Queens University in Belfast during the height of The Troubles. Due to the conflict in Northern Ireland, he transferred to the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland in Dublin to study medicine. He states that he took a break during his education and travelled for a period with David Bowie's Serious Moonlight in Europe. In 1986, <mask> graduated as a doctor. In 1987, <mask> became a practicing doctor in Dublin. In that same year, he was accidentally jabbed in the leg with a needle used on an HIV patient while working in a Dublin hospital. This resulted in him having to cut out an area of his leg as this was before protease inhibitor treatments for AIDS existed and he never developed the illness.In his first memoir, Behind the Mask: The Extraordinary Story of the Irishman who became Michael Jackson's Doctor he states that this incident led to being involved in humanitarian work in Africa and later to pioneer new aesthetic treatment surgeries to help people with AIDS and HIV. In his later novel, ‘The Needle and The Damage Done’ Dr <mask> explains how this terrifying moment could have cost him his life. After that incident he moved to New Zealand in 1988 to work as a respiratory and cardiology registrar with Dunedin Public Hospital. Career
In 1990, he became a staff health doctor at Ibn 'al Bitar Hospital in Baghdad during Saddam Hussein's reign and that he was arrested near Erbil by the Iraqi Army while traveling through Kurdistan, and jailed for five days while sourcing material for an article for the Fermanagh Herald about the gassing of the Kurds in Halabja. He was ship's surgeon with Carnival Cruise Line in California from 1993 through 1994, and later in Florida. In the late 1990s, <mask> worked in skin cancer in Toowomba Australia, and as a flying doctor in Broken Hill N.S.W. with Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia.In 2000, <mask> founded the Ailesbury Clinic in Dublin and another Ailesbury Clinic in Cork in 2005. The clinic was very successful and expanded internationally. In his memoir, <mask> details how the Irish recession affected some of his business, and how many wealthy people, including five of his clients were driven to suicide. In April 2016, at the height of the Irish recession, the High Court in Dublin granted a possession order over some clinic buildings, and <mask> made a €137,897 settlement with the Irish Revenue as a result of unpaid taxes, interest and penalties. In December 2019, he pleaded guilty to charges of engaging in insulting behaviour and being drunk and a source of danger to himself or others at an Irish hotel. In April, 2021 he released a book called The Needle and the Damage Done, an autobiographical memoir covering 2012–2021. The book also gives background on innovations that contributed to his being lauded as Top Aesthetic Practitioner in the World (USA) in 2019, and Top Aesthetic Medical Aesthetic Practitioner in the UK in 2019.It also describes <mask>’s research on the influence of botulinum toxin on the brain, including chronic migraines, and how he developed new protocols to reverse the damage being done to patient’s faces because of complications with dermal fillers. In 2021, Dr <mask> founded the International Medical Aesthetics Complications Conference (IMACC), which will take place at both the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, and University College Dublin (UCD), on July 14–16, 2022. Affiliation with Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson sought him for cosmetic treatment after reading about his experience with HLA fillers and his charitable work working with HIV patients in Africa. He was Jackson's personal dermatologist and developed a friendship with the singer. <mask> and Jackson worked on humanitarian projects together. In 2011, <mask> became an ambassador for the Michael Jackson Legacy foundation, and in 2012 opened Everland Children's Orphanage in Liberia and orphanages in Haiti in 2013. In 2009, <mask> was on the special witness list for the trial of Conrad Murray, however, he was not called to testify.He released a memoir entitled Behind the Mask: The Extraordinary Story of the Irishman who became Michael Jackson's Doctor in 2015. The Sunday Times in 2021, recalled a funny incident that occurred when <mask> mistook Nelson Mandela for a South Africa concert promoter arranging a humanitarian concert in Cape Town, when he rang Michael Jackson's mobile  during a vitiligo treatment. Humanitarian work
The 1987 needlestick incident eventually led to <mask>'s humanitarian work in Africa and his developing an empathy to people who suffered from HIV/AIDS and were marginalised or discriminated against as a consequence. <mask> pioneered new aesthetic and surgical treatments to help people with LD-HIV, a condition characterized by loss of subcutaneous fat associated with infection with HIV. In 1993, he visited HIV orphanages in Zimbabwe and South Africa, and some of his later medical articles about these experiences won him Irish professional media awards. In 2001, Treacy challenged 'traditional' views on treating AIDS at a medical conference in South Africa, where he had done a placement as a young doctor. <mask> openly challenged Thabo Mbeki for his stance on AIDS when he advocated that the correlation between poverty and the AIDS rate in Africa was a challenge to the viral theory of AIDS.In 2002, he wrote an article for the Irish Medical Times entitled "A Tragedy That Has Resulted in Countless Needless Deaths in Africa". Mbeki's ban of antiretroviral drugs in public hospitals is estimated to be responsible for the premature deaths of between 330,000 and 365,000 people. In 2011, <mask> became an ambassador for the Michael Jackson Legacy foundation (a charitable organisation dedicated to continuing Jackson's humanitarian legacy), which helped HIV children and built orphanages for abandoned orphans. In 2012, he opened the Everland Children's Orphanage in Monrovia Liberia, which was funded by Jackson's fans through MJL. In 2013, he opened a second Everland Children's orphanage high in the mountains and fifty miles away from the earthquake epicentre in Mireblais, Haiti. This was on the same site where Digicel also built a new school to replace the devastated Miracle Restoration Centre in Tabare. Accolades
In 2003, Treacy won the "Professional Medical Media" category at the GlaxoSmithKline Medical Media Awards for articles that appeared in Irish Medical Times.He was awarded best non-surgical treatment at the inaugural "My Face My Body Awards" in London in 2012. <mask> received an AMEC Aesthetic Award for novel techniques in facial rejuvenation in Paris in 2014 and the 20th World Congress in Aesthetic Medicine Lecture Award in Miami in 2015. In 2016 he was Highly Commended in the 'Doctor of the Year' Award at the Safety in Beauty Awards in London. <mask> also won lecturing awards regarding reversal of dermal necrosis post filler vascular occlusion in Tbilisi, Georgia and Cairo, Egypt in this period  He was also awarded a special medal for contributions to the field of Aesthetic Medicine at CCME in Cuernavaca, Mexico 2016 as well as being presented with an award for medical excellence at the same conference. He also won the MyFaceMyBody Award (London 2016) and the Irish Healthcare Award (Dublin 2017) for further medical research related to the use of hyalase in dermal filler vascular occlusion and establishing re-epithelialisation of skin by use of hyperbaric oxygen, platelet growth factors and phototherapy accelerating wound healing. He won the 'Quality & Research Award' British College of Aesthetic Medicine (London) in September 2017. The first ever Abu Dhabi International Conference in Dermatology & Aesthetics (AIDA 2017) AIDA Award was presented to <mask> in October 2017 for his contributions to wound healing and for the “HELPIR Technique: Treating Vascular Complications of Dermal Fillers”.He was made also the first laureate of the 2017 'Art of Beauty Trophy' by the members of AAAMC Organizing Committee in Baku, Azerbaijan for his contributions to the development of the field of aesthetic medicine, especially writing the protocols for the use of hyalase. He was also awarded a specialist Azerbaijani Laureate Diploma in Aesthetic Medicine in 2017. Ailesbury Dublin won the John Bannon Award "Best Clinic in Ireland" 2017 at the Aesthetic Awards in London. <mask> was given another specialist MyFaceMyBody award in 2018 for his scientific research contribution to the aesthetic industry.

title: Marshall Keeble

texts:
<mask> (December 7, 1878 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee – April 20, 1968 in Nashville, Tennessee) was an African American preacher of the church of Christ, whose successful career notably bridged a racial divide in an important American religious movement prior to the Civil Rights Movement. Over the course of his 50-year career as a gospel preacher, he was credited with starting almost every African-American church of Christ in the state of Tennessee. Keeble enjoyed an almost unrivaled position as an African-American subject of hagiographical biography by white contemporaries within the church of which Keeble was a member. A notable example of this is Roll Jordan Roll by fellow minister and longtime Keeble associate, J. E. Choate. Early life
<mask> was the son of Robert and <mask>, both of whom had been slaves. <mask> and his family moved to Nashville about 1883. He attended school in Nashville, but did not progress beyond the seventh grade.Despite this, he went on to become an entrepreneur and an accomplished debater. Early career
<mask> began preaching in 1897 with the support and encouragement of his father-in-law, S. W. Womack and other preachers. Though he and his wife, Minnie, ran several businesses, he put secular work behind him in 1914 in order to become a dedicated preacher. In 1918, he helped, for the first of what would be many times, start a congregation of African-American members of the Church of Christ. When he tried to secure a meeting place to preach in Oak Grove, Tennessee, near Henderson, he was unable to get cooperation from Baptist and Methodist congregations in the area. N.B. Hardeman, the president and namesake of Freed-Hardeman College (now Freed-Hardemen University), helped him find space at a nearby school so that the group could assemble.The meeting resulted in 84 baptisms, and Hardeman would go on to be a supporter of Keeble’s work for decades, using his influence to encourage people to attend Keeble’s meetings and worship services. About 1920, Keeble met and became a lifelong friend of A. M. Burton, founder of the Life and Casualty Insurance Company of Tennessee, who provided funding for his preaching and travels. This consistent help certainly furthered Keeble's gospel efforts. Yet despite many of his white brethren donating money, time, and resources to see Keeble succeed, they also did not challenge the segregation of congregations. For his part, Keeble maintained an air of humility and gratitude that covered any bitterness he may have felt about preaching in the Jim Crow South. He refrained almost entirely from speaking publicly on matters of racial inequality and thus ensured he didn’t lose the support he needed from white brethren to get the message out to the African-American population. Even so, he faced racially charged threats and assaults throughout his career.<mask> was known both for his great wit and for his willingness to preach the gospel with unapologetic fervor. An avid and skilled debater, he reasoned out his positions on such issues as foot-washing, baptism, the Holy Spirit, and miracles at debates that took him to Alabama, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Florida. Eventually, his evangelistic efforts took him to nearly every state in the country. Later life and career
In 1942, he helped found and became the first president of Nashville Christian Institute. It has been estimated that during his life, he baptized over 40,000 people around the world. Keeble was also primarily responsible for the establishment of several Christian schools, of which the primary surviving example is Southwestern Christian College. He also helped establish the Silver Point Christian Institute (now the West End Church of Christ Silver Point) in 1909.At the age of 83, Keeble became a world traveler. On his first journey (October 1960), he and Lucien Palmer toured Israel, then proceeded on to Nigeria, where Keeble preached day and night to large audiences. While in Nigeria, he was made an honorary chief of one tribe. The second journey began in October 1962, which took Keeble, Palmer, and Nashville dairyman Houston Ezell all the way around the world. Their first stop was Nigeria, where Keeble engaged in training preachers and preparing for the construction of the Nigerian Christian Secondary School in Ukpom. The main administrative building at NCSS is named Keeble Hall in his honor. The Christians in Nigeria also pleaded with Keeble to start a hospital there, and he relayed the plea from pulpits back in America.Partly as a result, the Nigerian Christian Hospital was founded in 1965. From Nigeria, the three travelers went on to Ethiopia, India, Singapore, and Korea, among other places. Finally, they returned home via Hawaii and Los Angeles. In 1965, Keeble was honored by Harding University with an honorary Doctor of Law degree. Tennessee Governor Frank G. Clement appointed him a Colonel Aide-de-Camp. He was the first African-American so honored in Tennessee history. He preached his last sermon on April 17, 1968.Personal life and death
Keeble's first marriage to Minnie Womack, a graduate of Fisk University High School, began in 1896. Their marriage lasted until her death on December 11, 1932. The couple had five children, all of whom died in infancy, childhood, or early adulthood; all preceded Keeble in death. Keeble married his second wife, Laura Catherine Johnson, on April 3, 1934. A long-time friend and fellow preacher, B. C. Goodpasture, officiated at the ceremony. Keeble's second wife was born on August 6, 1898. She was baptized into Christ in 1913.She died at age 108 on March 5, 2007. <mask> died on April 20, 1968. He was buried in the historic African-American Greenwood Cemetery in Nashville.

<mask> (born Cardiff 1949) is a Welsh entomologist. At the age of 14 an article entitled "My Hobby has Wings" about <mask> appeared in his local newspaper, the Pontypridd Observer; this 1963 article highlighted <mask>' interest in entomology at an early age. In 1967 he began studying for a degree in zoology and applied entomology at Imperial College, London where he completed his doctoral thesis on the biology of the leek moth (Acrolepiopsis assectella). In 1974 he was appointed as a researcher in the Chalcidoidea at the British Museum (Natural History). He was seconded to the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research in New Zealand where he conducted a survey of the Chalcidoidea of New Zealand in 1980 and 1981. He travelled widely in the course of his research into the Chalcidoidea and has published over 80 papers, with some major monographs, and described one new family, 88 new genera and 644 new species of Chalcidoidea. When he retired he was reviewing the Costa Rican fauna of the Encyrtidae.In 1991 he conceived of and implemented the Universal Chalcidoidea Database, an innovative and important online resource. He continued to maintain the database until his retirement, He was recognised by his peers in that at the time he retired one genus and 38 species, mainly of Hymenoptera, but including a beetle and a bug, were named after him. He sits on the review board of a number of journals and is a fellow of the Royal Entomological Society of London and a member of International Society of Hymenopterists. He retired from service at the Natural History Museum at the age of 60 in 2009. In his personal life he is married to Mary and the couple have two daughters. John S.

title: Aron Katsenelinboigen

texts:
<mask>igen (; September 2, 1927 – July 30, 2005) was a founder of predispositioning theory, a subject in decision theory and systems theory that models development in the context of uncertainty. Career

Katsenelinboigen was born in Izyaslavl in the Ukrainian SSR. At fourteen, he enrolled at the Uzbekistan Institute of Economics, transferring four years later, in 1945, to the Moscow State Institute of Economics. There he graduated the following year and spent a further three years pursuing post-graduate work. He received a PhD in Economics in 1957 and became a Doctor of Economic Science in 1966. In 1973, Katsenelinboigen emigrated to the United States, where he continued to research indeterministic economics and develop predispositioning theory. He became a United States citizen in 1979.He also began to explore the application of predispositioning theory in fields other than economics, such as biology, psychology and theology. From 1990, when Vera Zubarev became one of his pupils, he and she began researching its application in literature and art. In 1974, after a brief sojourn at the University of California, Berkeley, Katsenelinboigen joined the Department of Economics at the University of Pennsylvania. During this time, he was also a visiting professor at Princeton University, where he presented a course on the Soviet economy. In 1977, he joined the Wharton School's Department of Social Systems Sciences and became a full professor before moving to the Department of Decision Sciences in 1987. He retired in 2004. Katsenelinboigen's use of positional and combinational styles of chess as metaphors for the mental processes underlying decision-making continue to be taught by Zubarev at the University of Pennsylvania.Positions
