paragraph: Eduardo Paolozzi

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Eduardo Paolozzi was born on 7 March 1924, in Leith in north Edinburgh, Scotland, and was the eldest son of Italian immigrants. In June 1940, when Italy declared war on the United Kingdom, Paolozzi was interned (along with most other Italian men in Britain). During his three-month internment at Saughton prison his father, grandfather and uncle, who had also been detained, were among the 446 Italians who drowned when the ship carrying them to Canada, the "Arandora Star", was sunk by a German U-boat.

paragraph: Paolozzi studied at the Edinburgh College of Art in 1943, briefly at Saint Martin's School of Art in 1944, and then at the Slade School of Fine Art at University College London from 1944 to 1947, after which he worked in Paris. While in Paris from 1947 to 1949, Paolozzi became acquainted with Alberto Giacometti, Jean Arp, Constantin Brâncuși, Georges Braque and Fernand Léger. This period became an important influence for his later work. For example, the influence of Giacometti and many of the original Surrealists he met in Paris can be felt in the group of lost-wax sculptures made by Paolozzi in the mid-1950s. Their surfaces, studded with found objects and machine parts, were to gain him recognition.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: After Paris, he moved back to London eventually establishing his studio in Chelsea. The studio was a workshop filled with hundreds of found objects, models, sculptures, materials, tools, toys and stacks of books. Paolozzi was interested in everything and would use a variety of objects and materials in his work, particularly his collages. In 1955 he moved with his family to the village of Thorpe-le-Soken in Essex. Together with Nigel Henderson he established Hammer Prints Limited, a design company producing wallpapers, textiles and ceramics that were initially manufactured at Landermere Wharf, and when his evening course in printed textile design at the Central School of Art and Design attracted the Trinidadian graphics student Althea McNish, he was instrumental in pointing her towards her future career as a textile designer. Paolozzi came to public attention in the 1950s by producing a range of striking screenprints and "Art Brut" sculpture. He was a founder of the Independent Group in 1952, which is regarded as the precursor to the mid-1950s British and late 1950s American Pop Art movements. His seminal 1947 collage "I was a Rich Man's Plaything" is considered the earliest standard bearer representing Pop Art. He always described his work as surrealist art and, while working in a wide range of media though his career, became more closely associated with sculpture. Paolozzi is recognized for producing largely lifelike statuary works, but with rectilinear (often cubic) elements added or removed, or the human form deconstructed in a cubist manner.

paragraph: He taught sculpture and ceramics at several institutions, including the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg (1960–62), University of California, Berkeley (in 1968) and at the Royal College of Art. Paolozzi had a long association with Germany, having worked in Berlin from 1974 as part of the Berlin Artist Programme of the German Academic Exchange Programme. He was a professor at the Fachhochschule in Cologne from 1977 to 1981, and later taught sculpture at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich. Paolozzi was fond of Munich and many of his works and concept plans were developed in a studio he kept there, including the mosaics of the Tottenham Court Road Station in London. He took a stab at industrial design in the 1970s with a 500-piece run of the upscale "Suomi" tableware by Timo Sarpaneva that Paolozzi decorated for the German Rosenthal porcelain maker's "Studio Linie".

paragraph: Paolozzi’s graphic work of the 1960s was highly innovative. In a series of works he explored and extended the possibilities and limits of the silkscreen medium. The resulting prints are characterised by Pop culture references and technological imagery. These series are: "As Is When" (12 prints on the theme of Paolozzi’s interest in the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein; published as a limited edition of 65 by Editions Alecto, 1965); "Moonstrips Empire News" (100 prints, eight signed, in an acrylic box; published as a limited edition of 500 by Editions Alecto, 1967); "Universal Electronic Vacuu" (10 prints, poster and text; published by Paolozzi as a limited edition of 75, 1967); "General Dynamic Fun". (part 2 of "Moonstrips Empire News"; 50 sheets plus title sheet; boxed in five versions; published as a limited edition of 350 by Editions Alecto, 1970).

paragraph: In the 1960s and 1970s, Paolozzi artistically processed man-machine images from popular science books by German doctor and author Fritz Kahn (1888–1968), such as in his screenprint "Wittgenstein in New York" (1965), the print series "Secrets of Life – The Human Machine and How it Works" (1970), or the cover design for John Barth’s novel "Lost in the Funhouse" (Penguin, 1972). As recently as 2009, the reference to Kahn was discovered by Uta and Thilo von Debschitz during their research of work and life of Fritz Kahn.

paragraph: Section::::Later career.

paragraph: Paolozzi was appointed CBE in 1968 and in 1979 he was elected to the Royal Academy. During the late 1960s, he started contributing to literary magazine "Ambit", which began a lifelong collaboration.

paragraph: In 1980, the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) commissioned a set of three tapestries from Paolozzi to represent 'present day and future societies in relation to the role played by ICAEW', as part of the Institute's centenary celebrations. The three highly distinctive pieces - which Paolozzi wanted to ""depict our world of today in a manner using the same bold pictorial style as the Bayeux tapestries in France"" - currently hang in Chartered Accountants' Hall.

paragraph: He was promoted to the office of Her Majesty's Sculptor in Ordinary for Scotland in 1986, which he held until his death. He also received an Honorary Doctorate from Heriot-Watt University in 1987.

paragraph: Paolozzi was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1989 as Knight Bachelor ().

paragraph: In 1994, Paolozzi gave the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art a large body of his works, and much of the content of his studio. In 1999 the National Galleries of Scotland opened the Dean Gallery to display this collection, and the gallery displays a recreation of Paolozzi's studio, with its contents evoking the original London and Munich locations.

paragraph: In 2001, Paolozzi suffered a near-fatal stroke, causing an incorrect magazine report that he had died. The illness made him a wheelchair user, and he died in a hospital in London in April 2005.

paragraph: In 2013, Pallant House Gallery in Chichester held a major retrospective "Eduardo Paolozzi: Collaging Culture" (6 July −13 October 2013), featuring more than 100 of the artist's works, including sculpture, drawings, textile, film, ceramics and paper collage. Pallant House Gallery has an extensive collection of Paolozzi's work given and loaned by the architect Colin St John Wilson, who commissioned Paolozzi's sculpture "Newton After Blake" for the British Library.

paragraph: Vima Kadphises

paragraph: Vima Kadphises (Kushan language: "Οοημο Καδφισης", Early Middle Chinese: 阎膏珍 pron. jiam-kaw-trin) was a Kushan emperor from approximately 90–100 CE. According to the Rabatak inscription, he was the son of Vima Takto and the father of Kanishka.

paragraph: Section::::Rule.

paragraph: Section::::Rule.:Genealogy.

paragraph: The connection of Vima Kadphises with other Kushan rulers is described in the Rabatak inscription, which Kanishka wrote. Kanishka makes the list of the kings who ruled up to his time: Kujula Kadphises as his great-grandfather, Vima Taktu as his grandfather, Vima Kadphises as his father, and himself Kanishka:

paragraph: "... for King Kujula Kadphises (his) great grandfather, and for King Vima Taktu (his) grandfather, and for King Vima Kadphises (his) father, and *also for himself, King Kanishka" (Cribb and Sims-Williams 1995/6: 80)

paragraph: Emperor Vima Kadphises expanded the Kushan territory in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and north-west India, where he may have replaced the Indo-Scythian ruler Sodasa in Mathura.

paragraph: Section::::Coins.

paragraph: He was the Kushan emperor to first introduce gold coinage, in addition to the existing copper and silver coinage. Most of the gold seems to have been obtained through trade with the Roman Empire. The gold weight standard of approximately eight grams corresponds to that of Roman coins of the 1st century. Gold bullion from Rome would be melted and used for the Kushan mints, into three denominations: the double stater, the stater, and the quarter starter (or dinara).

paragraph: The usage of gold testifies to the prosperity of the Kushan Empire from the time of Vima, being the center of trade between the Han Dynasty of China (where Vima was known as 阎膏珍), Central Asia and Alexandria and Antioch in the West. The Kushan were able to maintain and protect the Silk road, allowing silk, spices, textiles or medicine to move between China, India and the West. In particular, many goods were sent by ship to the Roman empire, creating a return flow of gold coins, Greek wine and slaves. Works of arts were also imported from all directions , as indicated by the variety and quality of the artefacts found in the Kushan summer capital of Bagram in Afghanistan. A strong artistic syncretism was stimulated, as indicated by the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara.

paragraph: Roman history relates the visit of ambassadors from the Indian kings to the court of Trajan (98–117 CE), bearing presents and letters in Greek, which were sent either by Vima Kadphises or his son Kanishka.

paragraph: Most of Vima's coins feature the Buddhist symbol of the Triratana on the reverse (or possibly Shiva's symbol for Nandi, the Nandipada), together with Hindu representations of Shiva, with or without his bull. Often time, a Trishul is depicted along with Shiva.

paragraph: Arthur Hamilton "Dad" Clarkson (August 31, 1866 – February 5, 1911) was a pitcher in Major League Baseball from 1891 to 1896. He played for the New York Giants, Boston Beaneaters, St. Louis Browns, and Baltimore Orioles.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Clarkson was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and starred on the Harvard University baseball team in the 1880s. He started his professional baseball career in 1891 with the New York Giants; however, he didn't pitch much over the next two seasons. In 1893, Clarkson broke out with the St. Louis Browns, going 12–9 with a 3.48 earned run average. He was the only pitcher on the team to have a winning record. Clarkson received more innings of work in 1894 but slumped badly and posted a 6.36 ERA.

paragraph: In 1895, he started off even worse. He was 1–6 with a 7.38 ERA when the Browns traded him to the Orioles in June. Clarkson immediately turned things around in Baltimore. In his 14 remaining starts that season, he pitched 10 complete games and won 12 of 15 decisions. The Orioles won the National League pennant. The following season, Clarkson was outpitched by the other members of Baltimore's staff, and he played his final major league game on August 8. His career MLB record was 39–39. In 1900, he is recorded as being on a Montana State League roster.

paragraph: Clarkson served as a fill-in umpire several times between 1893 and 1896. On July 29, 1893, Clarkson umpired a game that his Cardinals lost to the Cleveland Spiders. He was fined by Cardinals owner Chris von der Ahe for making calls that went against the team. In protest of the fine, Clarkson refused to make his scheduled August 1 start as a pitcher. As a result, outfielder Jimmy Bannon had to pitch. Bannon, a .336 hitter, gave up 15 runs in four innings on the way to a 25-2 loss. Bannon was released by the Cardinals.

paragraph: Dad Clarkson had two brothers who also played in Major League Baseball: Hall of Famer John Clarkson and Walter Clarkson. After his baseball days were over, he became a salesman. He died in 1911, at the age of 44.

paragraph: John W. Bubbles

paragraph: John William Sublett (February 19, 1902 – May 18, 1986), known by his stage name John W. Bubbles, was a vaudeville performer. He performed in the duo "Buck and Bubbles." He is also known as the father of "rhythm tap."

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Subblett was born in Louisville, Kentucky on February 19, 1902, but soon moved with his family to Indianapolis. There, he formed a partnership with Ford L. "Buck" Washington in 1919. Their duo was known as "Buck and Bubbles." Buck played stride piano and sang, and Bubbles tapped along. They were so popular that the duo moved to Manhattan, New York City in September of that year. They played together in the Columbia Theater, the Palace and played with artists Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor and Danny Kaye. They were on the "Ziegfeld Follies of 1931." They also became the first black artists to perform at the Radio City Music Hall. "Buck and Bubbles" performed live in the first scheduled 'high definition' television program on November 2, 1936 at Alexandra Palace, London, for the BBC, becoming the first black artists on television anywhere in the world.

paragraph: Though unable to read music, Bubbles was chosen by George Gershwin to create the role of Sportin' Life in his opera "Porgy and Bess" in 1935. Since he didn't understand the music score, Gershwin spent the time to teach it to him as a tap rhythm. Sublett caused some problems because he often made up rhythms which caused confusion with other members of the cast. Sublett performed the role occasionally for the next two decades. In 1963, in a studio recording of "Porgy and Bess" featuring Leontyne Price and William Warfield, he performed Sportin' Life's two main arias from the opera, "It Ain't Necessarily So" and "There's A Boat Dat's Leavin' Soon For New York".

paragraph: In 1920 he gave lessons in tap dancing to Fred Astaire, who considered Sublett the finest tap dancer of his generation. In the number "Bojangles of Harlem" from "Swing Time" (1936) Astaire dresses in blackface as the Sportin' Life character and dances in the style of Sublett while ostensibly paying tribute to Bill Robinson.

paragraph: Sublett appeared in Hollywood films of the late 1930s and 1940s, including "Varsity Show" in 1937, "Cabin in the Sky" in 1943 and "A Song Is Born" in 1948. In later life, he also made television appearances, one of his last being on a musical episode of "The Lucy Show", which also guest-starred Mel Tormé and a featured performance on Barbra Streisand's 1967 TV special, "The Belle of 14th Street", a tribute to the bygone era of vaudeville.

paragraph: During the Vietnam War, John Bubbles toured the war zone with the USO. In 1965, he appeared with Eddie Fisher on a USO tour, visiting many outposts and camps in the early war years. He appeared with Judy Garland in her 1967 concert at the Palace Theatre, singing "Me And My Shadow." That same year, he became partially paralyzed due to a stroke.

paragraph: In 1978, John Bubbles spoke at the Variety Arts Theatre in Los Angeles as a participant in a seminar on vaudeville. Someone asked him who the best tap dancer was. Bubbles answered, "You're looking at him." Then he added, "Honestly, if I had to name the best dancer, it would be Fred Astaire. He could tap. He had a good teacher. But he could ballroom, dance with a partner. All in all, he's the best." That same night, Bubbles mentioned that Astaire had brought him into the rehearsal hall to work on "Bojangles of Harlem" and John's chops are right there in the number.

paragraph: He performed at the Newport Jazz Festival in New York in 1979, which was one of his last public appearances. Sublett died on May 18, 1986, at his home in Baldwin Hills, California.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Sublett is known as the father of "rhythm tap," a form of tap dance. Sublett included percussive heel drops in his tap style, as opposed to the tap dancing of Bill Robinson (Bojangles) who emphasized clean phrases and toe taps. Sublett's taps were made to the traditional eight-bar phrase, but allowed for more rhythmic freedom. He blended the improvisational style of jazz music with the traditional techniques of tap to create a unique style and sound.

paragraph: Sublett received the 1980 Life Achievement Award from the American Guild of Variety Artists. He was inducted into the Tap Hall of Fame in 2002.

paragraph: Sublett was remembered by many celebrities; his catchphrase, "Shoot the liquor to me, John Boy," has been quoted in songs by several artists, including The Manhattan Transfer, The Ink Spots, and Louis Armstrong. Michael Jackson admired Bubbles' dancing and studied his steps for inspiration. In the mid-1980s Jackson named his beloved pet chimpanzee "Bubbles" in memory of John Sublett.

paragraph: Witnessing the frequent human sacrifices in Ashanti, the Dutch were convinced that the Ashanti and had vast manpower, some of which could be made available to the Dutch army.

Jacob Huydecoper, a mulatto from Elmina opened a recruitment agency in Kumasi to this end. As recruitment was still supposed to be voluntary, slaves offered to the recruiting agent received an advance payment to purchase their freedom. As part of the deal two Ashanti princes, (Kwasi Boakye and Kwame Poku) were to be educated in the Netherlands.

paragraph: Section::::Wars and succession.

paragraph: From 1841 to 1844, Kwaku Dua I fought against the Gonja and Dagomba to the north. In 1863, the Ashanti invaded territory to their south which was then under British protection, which soured relations with the British.

paragraph: Gilbert Tailboys, 1st Baron Tailboys of Kyme

paragraph: Gilbert Tailboys or Talboys, 1st Baron Tailboys of Kyme (c.1497/8 - 30 April 1530) was an English courtier and Member of Parliament during the reign of Henry VIII of England.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was only son of Sir George Talboys (1467–1538), by Elizabeth, daughter of Sir William Gascoigne. George’s parents were married after 14 November 1496, making Gilbert,the eldest son born around 1497 or 1498. In 1520 when he married Elizabeth Blount he was therefore around twenty three. Gilbert Talboys was keeper of Harbottle Castle in 1509, and served in the French war in 1513. George Talboys became insane in March 1517, and was placed under the charge of Cardinal Wolsey. In February 1530–1, being then described as a ‘lunatic,’ he was given into the custody of the Duke of Norfolk, and he did not die until 21 September 1538.

paragraph: Gilbert, his eldest son, came to court under Wolsey's protection. He married, before 18 June 1520, Elizabeth Blount (Bessie), daughter of Sir John Blount of Kinlet, Shropshire, and mistress of Henry VIII. In 1522, when the King had finished his relationship with Bessie Blount, Tailboys was chosen as a suitable husband for her, probably through his family's links to Cardinal Wolsey, who was then the King's chief minister. Bessie had borne the King his only acknowledged illegitimate child, Henry FitzRoy, 1st Duke of Richmond and Somerset, a possible heir to the throne.

paragraph: Gilbert Talboys and his wife had a grant of Rokeby, Warwickshire, in 1522, and in 1523 they received lands in Yorkshire under an act of parliament. In March 1527 he was one of the gentlemen of the king's chamber. He was appointed High Sheriff of Lincolnshire for 1526–27 and was returned as one of the members for Lincolnshire to the parliament which met on 3 November 1529. He was soon after created Baron Talboys of Kyme and took his seat on 1 December, but died on 15 April 1530. He was buried in Kyme church (the former Kyme Priory), where his memorial tablet still exists.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: By his wife, Elizabeth Blount, Tailboys had three children:

paragraph: BULLET::::1. Elizabeth Tailboys, 4th Baroness Tailboys of Kyme, born c. 1520, died 1563, who at her brother's death became the 4th Baroness Tailboys of Kyme. Married firstly Thomas Wymbish, of Nocton (died 1553), who claimed the title in his wife's right. It was, however, ruled that a husband could not so bear his wife's title unless he had issue by her; this ruling was the final decision on the point. Married secondly, before 13 November 1553, as his second wife, Ambrose Dudley, 3rd Earl of Warwick (1529–1589) She died about 1560, and, as she had no issue, the barony became extinct.

paragraph: BULLET::::2. George Tailboys, 2nd Baron Tailboys of Kyme, born c. 1523, who succeeded as 2nd Baron Tailboys of Kyme, and died on 6 September 1539. Married Margaret Skipwith in 1539. No issue.

paragraph: BULLET::::3. Robert Tailboys, 3rd Baron Tailboys of Kyme, de Jure Lord Kyme, born c. 1528, died June 1542.

paragraph: Ed Beatin

paragraph: Ebenezer Ambrose "Ed" Beatin (August 10, 1866 – May 9, 1925) was an American baseball player. He played five seasons in Major League Baseball as a left-handed pitcher for the Detroit Wolverines from 1887 to 1888 and the Cleveland Spiders from 1889 to 1891. A 20-game winner in both 1889 and 1890, Beatin was known for having the best "slow ball" in the game. He was also a member of the 1887 Detroit Wolverines team that won the National League pennant.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Beatin was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1866. He began his professional baseball career at age 20 with the Allentown Peanut Eaters in the Pennsylvania State Association. He appeared in 25 games for Allentown, threw 22 complete games, and compiled a 19–5 record with a 1.37 earned run average (ERA).

paragraph: Section::::Major league player.

paragraph: Section::::Major league player.:"The Beatin Case".

paragraph: After his strong showing at Allentown, a dispute arose between three National League clubs (Detroit Wolverines, Cincinnati Red Stockings, and Indianapolis Hoosiers) over which had the rights to Beatin. The Indianapolis club claimed it had struck a deal with the Allentown club for Beatin's services in early July, and Detroit and Cincinnati both claimed to have struck deals for Beatin and catcher Tom Kinslow in late July. The dispute, referred to as "The Beatin Case", became front page material in the "Sporting Life" throughout the month of August 1887.

paragraph: Indianapolis manager Horace Fogel accused both Beatin and the Allentown directorate of having acted "very dishonorably" in the matter and suggested that "this Allentown youth is deserving of the blacklist." In the end, only Cincinnati and Detroit pressed their claims at a hearing before baseball's Board of Arbitration. Detroit president Frederick K. Stearns testified and produced telegrams showing that he had closed deals with Beatin and Kinslow on July 20, seven days before Cincinnati claimed to have signed them. Detroit thus established priority to the players, and the "Sporting Life" described Cincinnati's case as having "proved decidedly weak." The Board issued its ruling in September 1887, finding in favor of Detroit.

paragraph: Section::::Major league player.:The "slow ball".

paragraph: Beatin's best pitch was his "slow ball." A report published in "The Sporting Life" stated: "His slow ball has never been equaled by any pitcher living, it would set such batters as Delehanty, Beckley and Anson perfectly wild, and the little cuss would use it with the bases chock full and a heavy hitter at bat. I should expect my release if I lobbed a slow one at such times, but Beatin's teaser was the best thing in his repertoire." Another account, published in 1910, stated that Beatin threw his slow pitch with "the nerve of a wrestling promoter" and added: "Beatin had the most deliberate slow ball that ever wearied its way toward a plate. Cy Young, Mathewson, Ed Walsh, Mordecai Brown, Addie Joss or any of the artists would gladly separate from $5000 for a loaf ball like Beatin's. The batter never knew when Beatin wound up whether the ball would come like [aviator] Johnny Moisant or an A.D.T. [messenger] boy."

paragraph: Teammate Ed McKean in 1905 opined that Beatin "had the most astonishing slow ball that was ever offered up to a batter." McKean recounted a story of Harry Stovey coming to bat against Beatin in the ninth inning of a game and being so confused by Beatin's slow ball that he swung once and missed, then swung again and hit the ball for what appeared to be a game-winning hit. However, the umpire ruled that the first swing counted as the third strike and an out. When Stovey protested, the umpire replied, "there is no rule allowing you two strikes at the same ball. You were out a full second before you made that hit!"

paragraph: Section::::Major league player.:Detroit Wolverines.

paragraph: Beatin pitched a four-hit complete game in his major league debut for Detroit on August 2, 1887, as the Wolverines beat Philadelphia by a score of 10-3. The headline for the game coverage in the "Detroit Free Press" read: "A GOOD BEATIN: Both Detroit and Philadelphia in Possession of One." Beatin pitched in only one other game for Detroit in 1887 and concluded his first major league season with a 1-1 record and a 4.00 ERA.

paragraph: During the 1888 season, Beatin appeared in 12 games for Detroit, all complete games. He compiled a 5-7 record and a 2.86 ERA. The team finished in fifth place with a 68-63 record. With high salaries owed to the team's star players, and gate receipts declining markedly, the team folded in October 1888 with the players being sold to other teams. Beatin was sold to the Cleveland Spiders along with three other players, including Larry Twitchell.

paragraph: Section::::Major league player.:Cleveland Spiders.

paragraph: In 1889, Beatin had the best season in his major league career. Despite playing for a sixth place team with a losing record, Beatin threw 35 complete games and compiled a 20-15 record. He ranked among the National League's pitching leaders with three shutouts (3rd), a Wins Above Replacement rating of 5.7 (6th), 126 strikeouts (8th), 20 wins (9th), and a 3.57 ERA (9th).

paragraph: In 1890, Beatin was the Spiders' top pitcher despite competition from rookie Cy Young. Beatin started 54 games in 1890 and threw 53 complete games, ranking fourth in the National League in both categories. On the other hand, he also led the league in hits (518) and earned runs (202) allowed. His win-loss record of 22-30 was hampered by the performance of a team that finished in seventh place with a 44-88 record.

paragraph: In 1891, Cy Young emerged as Cleveland's pitching ace, and Beatin sustained arm troubles, spending a portion of the season seeking treatment in Mount Clemens, Michigan. In all, Beatin started only four games for Cleveland in 1891. He compiled an 0-3 record as his ERA jumped to 5.28. He appeared in his final major league game on September 28, 1891.

paragraph: Section::::Later years.

paragraph: Beatin died in Baltimore in 1925 at age 58. He was buried at Oak Lawn Cemetery in Baltimore.

paragraph: Beatin was one of only two Major League Baseball players with the given name of Ebenezer. The other was second baseman, Abbie Johnson. Both went by names other than Ebenezer. (In addition to Beatin and Johnson, third baseman Joe Graves had the middle name, Ebenezer.)

paragraph: Tsugaru Tsuguakira

paragraph: Count was the 12th and final "daimyō" of Hirosaki Domain in northern Mutsu Province, Honshū, Japan (modern-day Aomori Prefecture). His courtesy title was "Tosa-no-kami", which was later upgraded to "Etchū-no-kami" and the title of "Jiju", and his Court rank under the Tokugawa shogunate was Junior Fourth Rank, Lower Grade.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Tsugaru Tsuguakira was the 4th son of Hosokawa Narimori, the 8th "daimyō" of Uto Domain, a sub-domain of Kumamoto Domain in Kyushu. He was married to the 4th daughter of Tsugaru Yukitsugu, 11th "daimyō" of Hirosaki Domain, and was adopted as his heir in 1857.

paragraph: Tsuguakira became "daimyō" on February 7, 1859 on the retirement of Yukitsugu, and continued his predecessor's policies of modernizing and westernizing the domain's military forces. He became "daimyō" during the turbulent Bakumatsu period, during which time the Tsugaru clan first sided with the pro-imperial forces of Satchō Alliance and attacked nearby Shōnai Domain. The domain then briefly defected to the pro-Tokugawa Ōuetsu Reppan Dōmei, but, for reasons yet unclear, soon backed out of the alliance and re-joined the imperial cause after a few months, participating in several battles during the Boshin War, notably that of the Battle of Noheji, and Battle of Hakodate on the pro-Meiji side.

paragraph: After the Meiji Restoration, with the abolition of the han system, Tsuguakira was appointed Imperial Governor of Hirosaki from 1869 to 1871, at which time the territory was absorbed into the new Aomori Prefecture.

paragraph: With the establishment of the "kazoku" peerage system in 1882, Tsuguakira was awarded with the title of "hakushaku" (count). After his retirement from public life, he served as a director of the , and was noted for his "waka" poetry. He died in Tokyo in 1916, and his grave is at the Yanaka Cemetery in Taitō-ku, Tokyo.

paragraph: Tsugaru Tsuguakira had no son, and adopted the younger son of the court noble Konoe Tadafusa, who took the name of (1872–1919) to be his heir.

paragraph: T. Berry Brazelton

paragraph: Thomas Berry Brazelton (May 10, 1918 – March 13, 2018) was an American pediatrician, author, and the developer of the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS). Brazelton hosted the cable television program "What Every Baby Knows", and wrote a syndicated newspaper column. He wrote more than two hundred scholarly papers and twenty-four books.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Brazelton was born in Waco, Texas. He graduated in 1940 from Princeton and in 1943 from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City, where he accepted a medical internship at Roosevelt Hospital. From 1945, after war service in the U.S. Navy, he completed his medical residency in Boston Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) before undertaking pediatric training at Children's Hospital of Boston.

paragraph: He entered private practice in 1950, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His interest in child development led to training in child psychiatry at MGH and the James Jackson Putnam Children's Center. He subsequently served as a Fellow with Professor Jerome Bruner at the Center for Cognitive Studies at Harvard University, then combined his interests in primary care pediatrics and child psychiatry and in 1972 established the Child Development Unit, a pediatric training and research center at Children's Hospital in Boston. From 1988, he was Clinical Professor of Pediatrics Emeritus at Harvard Medical School.

paragraph: Brazelton was president of the Society for Research in Child Development (1987–1989), and of the National Center for Clinical Infant Programs (1988–1991). He appeared many times before Congressional committees in support of parental and medical leave bills, and continued to work with the Alliance for Better Child Care for a more comprehensive day care bill. He was a co-founder of Parent Action and served on the National Commission on Children.

paragraph: Brazelton appeared several times on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and the "Ellen DeGeneres Show".

paragraph: Section::::Neonatal behavior.

paragraph: Brazelton's foremost achievement in pediatrics and child development has been to increase pediatricians' awareness of, and attention to, the effect of young children's behavior, activity states, and emotional expressions on the ways their parents react to, and thereby affect them. For example, one of his first publications in the field of psychology was a study with Kenneth Kaye of the interaction between babies' sucking at breast or bottle and the mother's attempts to maintain it, the earliest form of human "dialogue". The Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS) assesses not only the physical and neurological responses of newborns, but also their emotional well being and individual differences.

paragraph: The Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS) looks at a wide range of behaviors and is suitable for examining newborns and infants up to two months old. By the end of the assessment, the examiner has a behavioral "portrait" of the infant, describing the baby's strengths, adaptive responses and possible vulnerabilities. The examiner shares this portrait with parents to develop appropriate caregiving strategies aimed at enhancing the earliest relationship between babies and parents.

paragraph: It evaluates a wide range of 38 behaviors to build a behavioral profile of an infant up to 2 months old. The Scale contains 28 behavioral and 18 reflex items. It assesses the baby's capabilities across different developmental areas (autonomic, motor, state and social-interactive systems) and describes how infants integrate these areas as they adapt to their new environment .This approach was innovative for recognizing that a baby is a highly developed organism, even when just newly born. The profile describes the baby's strengths, adaptive responses and possible vulnerabilities.

paragraph: The NBAS is based on several key assumptions.

paragraph: First, infants, even ones that seem vulnerable, are highly capable when they are born. "A newborn already has nine months of experience when she is born," Dr. Brazelton notes. "She is capable of controlling her behavior in order to respond to her new environment."

paragraph: Second, babies "communicate" through their behavior, which, although it may not always seem like it, is a rational language. Not only do infants respond to cues around them, like their parents' faces, but they also take steps to control their environment, such as crying to get a response from their caregivers.

paragraph: Third, infants are social organisms, individuals with their own unique qualities, ready to shape as well as be shaped by the caregiving environment.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Brazelton died on March 13, 2018 at the age of 99.
