In his junior year, <mask> won 10 games and had a 1.51 earned run average (ERA) to go along with 100 strikeouts in 78 innings pitched. This led to him being named the top pitcher of the PBL and a first-team All-Star.

Both years <mask> and the Blue Jays won the league title and the B.C. 's Best Tournament. University of Kentucky

In 2018, before his start against the Minnesota Twins, <mask> gained national media attention when a bald eagle, which had been participating in a patriotic pre-game ceremony, flew around and landed on <mask>. <mask>, who reacted calmly, later stated, "No, I wasn't going to run.I figured I'm not going to outrun an eagle, so I might as well see what happens." On May 2, 2018, against the Oakland Athletics, <mask> struck out a career-high 16 batters, but the bullpen behind him faltered, and the Mariners lost 3–2. On May 8, 2018, <mask> threw a no-hitter against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. He threw 99 pitches while issuing three walks in a 5–0 victory, becoming the second Canadian to throw a no-hitter (the first was Dick Fowler of the Philadelphia Athletics, pitching against the St. Louis Browns on September 9, 1945).

On November 19, 2018, the Mariners traded <mask> to the New York Yankees for Justus Sheffield, Dom Thompson-Williams, and Erik Swanson.

He became a free agent after the season.Seattle Mariners (second stint)
On February 18, 2021, <mask> agreed to a one-year, $8.5 million contract with the Seattle Mariners. In his first start of the season on April 6, 2021 against the Chicago White Sox, <mask> threw only 24 pitches before being removed from the game with left elbow discomfort. Two days later on April 8, it was announced that Tommy John surgery was recommended for <mask>. On April 13, the Mariners announced that <mask> would undergo the procedure, ending his season. He underwent the surgery in late April. Boston Red Sox
On December 1, 2021, <mask> signed a one-year, $10 million contract with the Boston Red Sox that included a two-year club option. Pitching style
A power pitcher with a long stride and a  release from a closed position that hides most of his deliveries, comparable to a faster version of Andy Petitte, <mask> relies on a four-seam fastball that ranges in velocities in the high 90s miles per hour (MPH).He also complements his four-seam fastball with a cutter (high 80s MPH) and a knuckle curve (low 80s MPH). He has decreased the use of his sinker/changeup. His strikeout pitches are high fastballs and a low inside knuckle curve against right-handers. His increased usage of knuckle curves on the first pitch of at bats limited the number of hits and runs that he allowed during the end of the 2019 season. However, his glove position pre-pitch made it easy for a knuckle curve to be tipped, so he now puts the glove sideways while wriggling the ball and the glove. Personal
<mask> and his wife, Katie, reside in Kirkland, Washington during the offseason. See also

State Secretary for Education and Sciences
On 2 July 1993, <mask> became State Secretary (deputy minister) for Education and Sciences in the third cabinet of Ruud Lubbers, under education minister Jo Ritzen. In <mask>'s portfolio were higher and academic education, science policy, and adult education. The term of this post expired after a year and <mask> returned to his academic post in Maastricht. Member of the Senate
From 13 June 1995, <mask> was a member of the Senate of the Netherlands. Between 1 August 1996 until he resigned from the Senate on 3 August 1998, he was also the parliamentary group leader of the Labour Party in the Senate.

On 3 August 1998, he resigned from the Senate to take up the position of State Secretary for Justice in the second cabinet of Wim Kok, dealing chiefly with immigration. In this capacity he was responsible for a new immigration law, intended to restrict entry of refugees to "genuine cases". Mayor of Amsterdam
He resigned his position as State Secretary on 31 December 2000 in order to take up the position of Mayor of Amsterdam (burgemeester) on 15 January 2001. Mayors of Dutch cities are appointed by the cabinet in the name of the monarch. At midnight on 1 April 2001, <mask> became the first public official to wed same-sex couples, following the passing of legislation opening up marriage to people of the same gender (see same-sex marriage in the Netherlands). On 2 February 2002, <mask> performed the civil marriage of Prince Willem-Alexander and Máxima Zorreguieta in the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam. In November 2004, controversial film maker Theo van Gogh was killed in Amsterdam by a Muslim extremist.Time awarded <mask> the title "European Hero" in 2005, for his inclusive approach towards the Muslim community after the murder, defusing tension in the city. <mask> found himself thrown into the role of mediator between the city's Muslims, the original Dutch population and other groups in the cultural and racial mix. Almost half Amsterdam's residents are of non-Western descent, a majority of them Muslims. "Islam is here to stay, in this country, in this city (...) We have to deal with Islam as a fact, not whether we like it. So the real question is how to get on with each other." <mask> took pride in the fact that in Amsterdam no violence or arson occurred in response to the killing. By his visiting ethnic groups, organizing debates among religious leaders and his listening and promoting dialogue, he received from opponents the mocking nickname of "tea drinker" – an image that would be exploited by them when he returned in the Dutch national politics in 2010.On 27 January 2006 <mask> announced he would be willing to serve a second term as mayor of Amsterdam. On 12 July 2006 the municipality of Amsterdam almost unanimously (Democrats 66 opposed, being in favour of an elected mayor) supported <mask> to prolong his career as a mayor after 15 January 2007 when his first term ended. <mask>'s politics towards ethnic minorities in Amsterdam was characterized by the slogan "keeping things together" (de boel bij elkaar houden). On 2 May 2006 Immigration Minister Rita Verdonk of the centre-right VVD accused Amsterdam of becoming a "banana republic" with a lax safety policy; she cited the criminal liquidations and the disturbance caused by young people as examples of this. However, in the yearly crime meter of the Algemeen Dagblad Amsterdam did not perform particularly badly in safety policy and crime fighting. One of the reasons for this was <mask>'s targeted approach towards those who commit multiple crimes (veelplegers). <mask> stated that his policy which combines soft and hard approaches, fighting crime and fighting the causes of crime, was the key to his successful safety policy.In 2006 <mask> was the runner-up in the award for World Mayor of 2006, behind Melbourne mayor John So, and ahead of Harrisburg mayor Stephen R. Reed. World Mayor praised <mask>'s leadership following the murder of Theo van Gogh in 2004, and his efforts at bringing together the diverse population of Amsterdam. In late 2007, <mask> moved to reduce prostitution in Amsterdam, following allegations that Hells Angels and other organized criminals had taken over the prostitution industry. The city council bought 18 buildings in the red light district De Wallen from Charlie Geerts in order to convert them into upscale establishments and revoked the license of the luxury brothel Yab Yum. Leader of the Labour Party

On 12 March 2010, Wouter Bos resigned as leader of the Labour Party. Bos named <mask> as candidate for the position, which he accepted. At the subsequent elections, <mask> was a candidate for Prime Minister.He was expected to be a strong opponent to Geert Wilders and was described in the press as "authoritarian but enlightened." Exit polls showed the Labour Party as the second largest with 30 seats and 19.6% of the total vote. Eventually his opponent Mark Rutte of the VVD became the Prime Minister of the Netherlands. He has been chair of the Labour Party in the House of Representatives since 10 June 2010 and a member of the House of Representatives since 17 June 2010. On 20 February 2012, he resigned as leader of the Labour Party, he also left the House of Representatives over criticisms that he had been too moderate towards the center-right Dutch government's planned economic austerity measures and the Dutch government's support for the EU Commission's plan to bail out Greece, which had been passed with the support of the Dutch Labour Party. At the time of his resignation, the Dutch Socialist Party, politically to the left of the Dutch Labour Party, had overtaken the Dutch Labour Party in a number of opinion polls. M.J.

<mask> (, 12 November 1950 – 6 June 2012) was a Chinese dissident labor rights activist, member of the Workers Autonomous Federation and chairman of the Shaoyang WAF branch. Following his role in the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, he served twenty-one years in prison on charges of counterrevolutionary propaganda, incitement, and subversion. Of all Chinese pro-democracy activists from 1989, <mask> spent the longest time in prison. On 6 June 2012, one year after his release from prison, and a few days after a television interview in which he continued to call for vindication of the Tiananmen Square protests, <mask> was found hanged in a hospital room. Shaoyang city authorities initially claimed suicide was the cause of death, but it was revised to 'accidental death' after the autopsy. Following a protest march attended by up to 25,000 people, Pan Democrats and senior establishment figures in Hong Kong publicly commented on the suspicious nature of the death, and said they had escalated the demands of citizens to politicians or "relevant departments" at national level for an independent investigation. The uproar in Hong Kong is said by commentators to have put pressure on mainland authorities to order a criminal investigation so as not to overshadow the impending visit of Chinese Communist Party general secretary Hu Jintao for the 15th anniversary celebrations of the handover of Hong Kong.Protests and imprisonment
A worker in a glass factory, <mask> set up a labour union under inspiration of the Democracy Wall in 1983. In 1989, China saw mass pro-democracy protests throughout the country, with the largest protests in Tiananmen Square, Beijing. After hundreds died when the People's Liberation Army suppressed the protests on 4 June, <mask> pasted a poster on a Shaoyang traffic sign urging a general strike in support of the protests. Two days later, <mask> organized a memorial for the victims. As a result of his actions, <mask> was jailed on 9 June for "counterrevolutionary propaganda and incitement". He was sentenced to ten years of imprisonment, but his sentence was increased to thirteen years when he appealed to the court. He was also sentenced to hard labour.As his health deteriorated, he was granted medical parole in June 1996, but the authorities cancelled his release after Deng Xiaoping died in 1997, fearing calls for the other responsible officials to be held to account for the 4 June Massacre. In June 2000 <mask> was released again for reasons of poor health. Human Rights in China (HRIC) alleged that <mask> was tortured while in custody, resulting in his losing both his sight and hearing. <mask> himself said in his last interview that the only explanation for his becoming blind was through nerve damage caused by being repeatedly beaten about the head. During his spells in prison, <mask> was a frequent inmate in solitary confinement. In 2001, <mask> began a hunger strike as part of a petition to authorities to repay his health care costs, and was given an additional ten-year sentence for "inciting subversion". Whilst attempting to force feed <mask> during his hunger strike, guards knocked out <mask>'s front teeth.He finally gained freedom in May 2011, when he checked into Daxiang District Hospital to treat his medical conditions. His sister, who lived 7 km away from the hospital, visited him twice a day with his meals. <mask> remained vocal in demanding vindication of the Tiananmen protesters up until his death: in an interview with i-CABLE broadcast four days before, he said "the souls of the martyrs deserve to finally find some peace". He advocated a multi-party democracy for his country, and said he did not regret his fight for a better China, "even had [he] been beheaded". In another interview, broadcast on French radio the eve of the 23rd anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown, he appealed to his compatriots "to observe 6-4". Amnesty International designated him a prisoner of conscience. Apple Daily reported that he had no minders before the interviews.After his interviews were broadcast, <mask> was kept under around the clock surveillance by a team of 10 police officers. An account that was opened to receive donations from supporters from China and abroad to pay his medical fees was inexplicably blocked; he was also severely impeded from going to Beijing to see a specialist physician. Death
<mask> was found dead on 6 June 2012, one year after his latest release from prison, in the Daxiang Hospital where he was being treated for heart disease and diabetes. <mask> was reportedly found on his feet with a strip of cloth tied around his neck and connected to a window bar. <mask>'s next of kin, his sister <mask> and her husband Zhao Baozhu, rushed to the hospital shortly after they were telephoned at 6 am. His brother-in-law said that the body was "on its feet next to his bed, with a white strip of cloth tied tightly around its neck and connected to a window bar above". The authorities said to relatives that there would be an autopsy.Although the latter were denied permission to take photographs, some stills and one video made it onto the internet. Later, i-Cable television in Hong Kong reported that officials had been attempting to persuade <mask>'s family members to cremate his body immediately. Domestic reaction
Official statements that <mask> had committed suicide caused "outrage" among China's dissident community, as his family questioned how <mask> would have been capable of killing himself. They said that leaving aside his minders, <mask> was blind and nearly deaf and could "barely hold a bowl without his hands shaking". Friends and local activists strongly allege that <mask> "was suicided" (), and formed a 'Committee in quest of the truth about <mask>'s death'. The Wall Street Journal commented that Chinese activists on Twitter had begun to tweet their own declarations that they had no plans to commit suicide (); dissident Hu Jia recommended that fellow dissidents who are frequently arrested and political prisoners prepare a notarised statement declaring one's lack of intention to commit suicide. To avoid internet censorship, "suicided" became a web-search term of choice.HRIC said <mask>'s sister had been detained by police and was taken to a hotel where they were being held. Media reported that <mask>'s family was under pressure to consent to an autopsy, and that police had given an ultimatum of noon on 8 June. Family members were denied access to the body since police removed it from the hospital. The Information Centre for Human Rights and Democracy conveyed that <mask>'s next of kin were prepared to grant an autopsy subject to the presence of a lawyer from outside Shaoyang. On 8 June, an autopsy of <mask>'s body was carried out by authorities in Shaoyang, apparently against the wishes of his family, and the body was cremated on 9 June. According to the Information Centre for Human Rights and Democracy, an unnamed member of staff at a funeral parlour implied that the government ordered the cremation; another worker told Cable TV that <mask>'s sister and brother-in-law had given signed consent. According to Shaoyang city authorities, people on <mask>'s wards saw him "acting strangely" by the window at around 3 am on the day he died."Surveillance camera footage showed that on the night <mask> died, no suspicious persons entered the ward except <mask>'s wardmates and hospital staff ... The ward's door was not forced open", and there were no other bruises on his body. Shaoyang city authorities said the autopsy was conducted by four pathologists from Sun Yat-sen University on 8 June. It is claimed that the entire process was videotaped and in the presence of the media, members of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. The university is expected to report the autopsy within four days. The city continued to assert that <mask> committed suicide, that his body was cremated at his family's request, and that his ashes were buried under the supervision of his sister and brother-in-law. The media made a connection to the Wukan protests, pointing out the medical examiner assigned to perform <mask>'s autopsy was the same person who pronounced that Xue Jingbo had died of "cardiac failure"

International response
By the day following news of <mask>'s demise, over 2,700 people, including dissident Ai Weiwei, had signed an online petition calling for an independent investigation.Human rights activist and lawyer Teng Biao posted a picture of a calligraphy scroll which read "An inch of blood for an inch of freedom, thousands of miles of rivers bring thousands of miles of woes" to his Twitter account, dedicating the post to <mask>. The Information Centre for Human Rights and Democracy raised the possibility that "security guards monitoring him tortured him to death and faked a suicide". Amnesty International issued a statement urging the Chinese government to "thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding <mask>'s death and take seriously the claims made by his family and friends that this was not suicide". At the request of the Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions (HKCTU), LabourStart launched a global online campaign demanding that the Chinese government open an investigation. Response in Hong Kong

The death and its subsequent handling angered and sent shock waves through Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China rebuked claims that <mask> died of suicide. Its convener, Lee Cheuk-yan argued that <mask> never regretted support for democracy in the course of his imprisonment, and that his poor health condition did not allow him to hang himself under surveillance of National Security Guards.Kinseng Lam, who gave <mask> the last interview, called it an assassination and believed it was his interview that triggered the authorities to kill him. Alan Leong, Civic Party legislator in Hong Kong, suggested <mask> 'paid the price' for his interview with iCable TV. Several representatives to the National People's Congress (NPC), including Liberal Party chairman Miriam Lau, Maria Tam, Michael Tien, called on the central government to look into the case. Several staunchly pro-establishment legislators argued against escalating the issue to Beijing. Wong Kwok-kin argued that such incidents were "daily occurrences" and that it would be impractical to have them all investigated. Notably, Ip Kwok-him of the DAB initially said it was "unnecessary" to write to air his concerns, because Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) members should not tell the authorities how to conduct their affairs. Ip later made a U-turn owing to public pressure.At City Forum, CPPCC member Lew Mon-hung said he would immediately write to the CPPCC regarding the death under bizarre circumstances. He opined that for a man to be killed under guise of protecting social stability would be complete denial of human rights. Nevertheless, he defended the Central government, saying it was still uncertain whether <mask>'s death was a suicide or a homicide. According to organisers of the march on 10 June, in Hong Kong to demand a thorough investigation into <mask>'s death, 25,000 people attended the largest-scale protest ever at the main entrance of the Central Government Liaison Office; Police estimated the turnout at 5,400. On 13 June 1500 people attended a candlelight vigil held outside the former Legislative Council Building commemorating the seventh day of <mask>'s death. Editorials in the main newspapers all referred to <mask>'s death as "suspicious", and said ongoing publicity about the case was unfavourable to China's image, and that it was in China's interests for the death to be probed transparently by central authorities. An opinion piece in the Hong Kong Economic Journal said <mask>'s death stoked the anger of the Hong Kong people and brought up to 25,000 people onto the streets."It not only reopened the wounds of the Tiananmen protests; the ridiculous claims that he committed suicide was a travesty of the rule of law". The writer lamented that despite China's rise, she still languished third from last in world rankings in terms of respect for human rights. In a piece translated and published in the South China Morning Post, Chang Ping wrote that <mask>'s death "exposed the relationship between the June 4 crackdown and the Chinese government's policy to 'maintain stability' ... [which] becomes the priority that overrides all. June 4 became the government's model for dealing with any dissent, using extreme force." Wang Xiangwei, the newly appointed editor-in-Chief of the South China Morning Post was criticised for his decision to reduce paper's coverage of <mask>' death on 7 June. Wang reportedly reversed the decision to run a full story, and instead published a two-paragraph report inside the paper; other news media reported it prominently. A senior staff member who sought to understand the decision received a stern rebuff by return email from Wang.Self-censorship concerns were raised in the Chinese-language press of the territory because Wang is mainland born, and is a member of the Jilin Provincial CPPCC. Other than on the first day, <mask>'s death and aftermath was covered in the Post as major news stories. On 21 June, responding to news of alleged downplaying of <mask>'s case, Wang said he understood the "huge responsibility to deliver news... [and]... the journalistic heritage we have inherited". He said that his decision not to pursue extensive coverage as the story broke was pending "more facts and details surrounding the circumstances of this case". Outgoing Health Secretary York Chow was the first minister to express scepticism of the 'suicide' claim; then others followed suit. Former Legco president and National People's Congress Standing Committee member Rita Fan noted the doubts of the public in Hong Kong over the death of <mask>. She said that "If these doubts can be resolved, and if some people are held responsible, Hong Kong people will have a better impression of the country."She added that "Matters like these happen because the officials do not value the lives of the people, do not respect the rights of the people … do not have an in-depth understanding of accountability to the people." Chief Executive-elect, CY Leung maintained his refusal to directly comment on <mask>'s death, which was universally hailed as "suspicious". Many local pro-establishment politicians said they had escalated the matter to various Communist Party officials or bodies. Nine days after the death, outgoing Chief Executive Donald Tsang expressed doubts about <mask>'s case, said he understood the views of Hong Kong people. He said: "Under the principle of 'one country, two systems', the most important responsibility for a chief executive is to safeguard the freedoms of speech and expression of Hong Kong people"; Chief executive-elect CY Leung said he shared the feelings of fellow citizens about the issue. On 16 June, Chief Executive-elect, C.Y. Leung, observed a minute's silence in honour of <mask> at a function, but maintained that it would be "inappropriate" for him to comment on the death.Macao
Pro-democracy Macanese legislators Chan Wai Chi, Au Kam San and Ng Kuok Cheong wrote to PRC Premier Wen Jiabao and other deputies to the Chinese People's National Congress demanding an investigation of <mask>'s mysterious "suicide". They protested the Shaoyang public security office ignoring escalating calls for a transparent investigation <mask>'s death, and accused them of "destroying the evidence" by cremating <mask>'s body. Hunan investigation
Following the public outcry, <mask>, deputy director of the Hong Kong–central government liaison office in said that Hunan Public Security Bureau ordered a criminal investigation into the death. <mask> said: "We have noted the concern expressed by the Hong Kong community and media on [<mask>'s death]. We have reflected their concerns to the relevant departments in the central government." The South China Morning Post noted that announcement about the forensic and criminal investigation by experts from outside Hunan province came through the semi-official Hong Kong China News Agency rather than Xinhua, saying it indicated that the announcement was targeted at Hong Kong, designed to calm public anger. Pundits said the uproar in Hong Kong had put pressure on mainland authorities to order a criminal investigation so as not to threaten the legacy of outgoing CCP general secretary Hu Jintao and overshadow his impending visit for the 15th anniversary celebrations of the handover of Hong Kong.Political commentator Johnny Lau said that if Hu had not been planning on coming to Hong Kong, "the case could drag on or may be forgotten".

(born January 28, 1956 in Nagasaki, Japan) is a Japanese manga artist, illustrator, and painter. Biography
<mask> graduated from junior high school in March 1972 but dropped out of senior high school. At the age of 15, he moved to Tokyo and began working for a bookbinder. At 17, he made his first manga submission to Weekly Shōnen Jump, but it was considered by the editors to be too graphic for the magazine's format and was subsequently rejected. <mask> temporarily removed himself from manga until November 1980 when he made his official debut as a manga artist in Ribon no Kishi (リボンの騎士) at the age of 24. It was at this stage that the young artist was finally able to pursue his artistic vision without such stringent restrictions over his work’s visual content. Two years later, his first stand-alone anthology, Barairo no Kaibutsu (薔薇色の怪物; Rose Colored Monster) was published.<mask> was a frequent contributor to the underground manga magazine Garo (ガロ).

Some of his characters have been made into figures as well. Though relatively few of <mask>'s manga have been published outside Japan, his work enjoys an international cult following. His book Shōjo Tsubaki (aka Mr. Arashi's Amazing Freak Show) has been adapted into an animated film (Midori) by Hiroshi Harada with a soundtrack by J.A.Seazer, but it has received very little release. In Europe and North America, it was marketed under the name Midori, after the main character. It was recently released on DVD in France by Cinemalta (the DVD includes English subtitles). Style

<mask><mask> (nee Pfingstel; born December 28, 1920) is an American nurse and the co-founder of the first nurse practitioner program. Along with pediatrician Henry Silver, <mask> started the pediatric nurse practitioner program at the University of Colorado in 1965. In 1972, <mask> joined the University of Rochester as founding dean of the nursing school. Early life
<mask> was born December 28, 1920, in New York City. When she was young, she wanted to be a teacher, but her family's financial situation led her to choose a less costly educational path. When <mask> graduated from high school at 16, she was too young to enter a postgraduate training program, so she worked at Middlesex General Hospital (now Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital) in New Brunswick, New Jersey as a nurses' aide. While working in the hospital, <mask> lived and studied with nursing students, and she decided to pursue nursing as a career.After a year and a half as a nurses' aide, <mask> entered the nursing program at Middlesex General and received her Diploma in Nursing in 1941. Career
After graduation, <mask> joined the Visiting Nurse Service (VNS) of New Brunswick. However, her tenure with VNS was short-lived. In 1942, following the death of her fiance in World War II, <mask> joined the US Army Air Force. She had hoped to enter flight nurse training, but was denied due to her vision, and instead served at base hospitals in Florida and Maine. Through the G.I. Bill, <mask> was then able to attend the University of Colorado (CU), where she completed a B.S.in nursing with a Public Health Nursing certificate (1949) and Master of Public Health Nursing Supervision (1951). At CU, <mask> was mentored and impacted by several influential figures in nursing and public health including Lucile Petry Leone, Pearl Parvin Coulter, and Henrietta Loughran. During this time, <mask> was also working as a public health nurse for Boulder County and eventually became the director of nursing at the Boulder City-County Health department. In 1961, <mask> received her Doctorate in Education also from the University of Colorado. Her doctoral work was in the development of cases in public health nursing administration and was supported through a National League for Nursing fellowship. Prior to completion of her EdD, <mask> was already an assistant professor at the University of Colorado School of Nursing in Denver, and then earned full professorship in 1965. It was during her tenure at CU that <mask> co-developed the first nurse practitioner program.In 1971, she was elected to the National Academy of Medicine. <mask> became the founding dean of the nursing school at the University of Rochester in 1972. At the University of Rochester, <mask> developed the unification model of nursing. Founding of nurse practitioner programs
As a public health nurse for Boulder County, <mask> worked in rural Colorado in the 1940s and 1950s. Through CU's public health nursing program, <mask> became one of the first test field teachers, training students from the Denver Visiting Nurse Service in these communities. During this time, she noted a deficit of care in these communities, which she and other nurses filled with temporary health clinics. This experience confirmed for <mask> that nurses could independently fill gaps in healthcare if offered specialized training.<mask> was given the opportunity to begin developing the specialized training she envisioned through the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education in Nursing. With this organization, <mask> was part of a team of educators who developed a specialized clinical curriculum for community health, a curriculum she brought to CU to further develop. In 1965, <mask> joined with pediatrician Henry Silver to create the pediatric nurse practitioner program at the University of Colorado. This was the first nurse practitioner program in the United States. The program was introduced in a Pediatrics journal article in 1967 as, "a new educational and training program in pediatrics for professional nurses which has been developed to provide increased health care for children in both rural and urban areas." Early nurse practitioner programs faced opposition from established faculty at nursing schools. Due to the medical component of the curriculum, physicians were now involved in training nurses.Opponents were concerned this would lead to a supervisory relationship between nurse practitioners and physicians, instead of a cooperative relationship between independent colleagues. Critics felt this approach would allow medicine to usurp nursing. Additionally, there was a great deal of prejudice around the abilities of nurses that <mask> worked to overcome in these first nurse practitioner programs. Unification Model of Nursing
During her tenure as Dean at the University of Rochester, <mask> developed a holistic approach to nursing education called the Unification Model of Nursing. The model is designed to include education, research, and clinical practice in the training of nurses. Awards
In 1989, <mask> received the Ruth B. Freeman Award in the Public Health Nursing Section from the American Public Health Association. In 1990, she received the Gustav O. Lienhard Award from the National Academy of Medicine.<mask> was named a Living Legend by the American Academy of Nursing in 1999. In 2003, she received the Lifetime Achievement Award from The Nurse Practitioner. She was honored with the Elizabeth Blackwell Award from Hobart and William Smith Colleges that same year; the award honors "a woman whose life exemplifies outstanding service to humanity." She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 2011. In 2012, she was inducted into the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame. Dr. <mask> holds honorary doctorates from six universities. Personal life
As an undergraduate, <mask> married <mask> in 1947, and her daughter was born in 1952.<mask> retired in 1985 and moved to Florida. See also

Education

<mask> went on to jobs in both the public and private sector. He worked as a resident manager (1973–1980) and managing director (1980–1982) for the Liberia Produce Marketing Corporation (LPMC). From 1983 to 1985, he served as Minister of Agriculture under President Samuel Doe. While Minister of Agriculture, <mask> chaired the 15 nation West African Rice Development Association.

He has served as board chairman of the Liberia Wood Management Corporation and of the Liberia Petroleum Refining Company. He announced his intention to run for the Liberian presidency which was scheduled for 10 October 2017. During the first round of the 2017 elections where none of the candidates who contested was able to obtain 50% +1 votes to become the country's next president, president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf stated on several occasions that she was supporting her vice president. After the first round, she openly said that she is not supporting either of the two candidates who made it to the run-off. But she was seen on 21 December 2017 with George Weah at a groundbreaking ceremony for a road that is leading to the home of his rival, the vice president <mask>. Boakai. This was harshly received by some members of the ruling Unity Party, who considered the president's action as campaigning for Weah.After the photos flooded social media, President Sirleaf clarified on the same day: "I have told the AU that I am neither supporting Senator Weah nor Vice President Boakai, although it's my right to support either of them in the run-off. I never knew the protocol of the program until I reached to the program. When I got there I saw Senator Jewel Howard Taylor and Senator Weah, I couldn't tell the both senators to leave because they are both sitting senators. It was Senator Jewel Howard Taylor that gave the shovel to Senator Weah, at which time my head was bent down. So it was difficult for me to identify the person holding the shovel. But however, I regret that the Vice President wasn't there, this is his road and he was needed to be here." When Boakai was asked if he was invited or not, he said that he was never invited by the President to carry out the groundbreaking ceremony for the road that leads to his home in Lofa County.When the vice president appeared on the Coasta Show, he said one of the reasons for which the president doesn't want to support him is his alignment with Chairman Wilmot Paye and Senator Varney G. Sherma. Mr. <mask>, was defeated by former football legend, George M. Weah, in the run-off of the 2017 presidential and representatives elections but nonetheless paid an appreciation visit to his county, Lofa. During his visit, he spoke of his appreciation for his people and urged them to work with the new government. Boakai said, "The purpose of my visit here is to appreciate my people for showing the high level of love and dedication…ensuring that we were successful in the process, because they did what they committed themselves to do by voting in their numbers." The election has ended, he said, and there is a new government that will continue the work from where the Unity Party led government will stop. “I ask that we all rally around this new administration to bring the desired developments that we all want. We should all know that Liberia has won so let us support each other."References

From  though , he played in Major League Baseball as a catcher for the Boston Braves (1939–1949), Pittsburgh Pirates (1949) and Chicago White Sox (1950–1952). Although he was known for being one of the best defensive catchers of his era, <mask> was notable for his involvement in a controversial play that occurred during the 1948 World Series between the Boston Braves and the Cleveland Indians. Playing career

Early career
Born in Chicago, <mask> attended Austin High School, then began his professional baseball career when he was contracted in  by the Cleveland Indians at the age of 20. In  he played for the Wausau Timberjacks and demonstrated his versatility by playing as a catcher, outfielder, third baseman and as a first baseman. <mask> became known as the Pepper Martin of the Northern League because of his head-first slides and prancing running style, while leading the league with 31 home runs and being named to the league's All-Star team. <mask> was then purchased by the Milwaukee Brewers who assigned him to play for the Springfield Indians of the Middle Atlantic League.Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis found this move to be in violation of baseball rules and allowed him to sign a non-reserve contract with Springfield, meaning that he would be a free agent at the end of the season. He played mostly as a catcher for Springfield in  where his backup that year was the future All-Star catcher for the Cleveland Indians, seventeen-year-old Jim Hegan. <mask> posted a .308 batting average with 16 home runs and 97 runs batted in for Springfield, earning a promotion to the major leagues when he was signed by the Boston Braves, then known as the Bees. The Bees already had future Hall of Fame member, Al López, as well as future All-Star, Ray Mueller and veteran Johnny Riddle as catchers going into spring training in 1939 however, <mask> impressed Bees' manager Casey Stengel so much that, Mueller and Riddle would be traded before the start of the season, leaving <mask> as Lopez's backup. He made his major league debut with the Bees on April 23, 1939 at the age of 23. After his father died in 1942, he was given a 3-A draft classification exempting him from military duty as he was the sole support for his family. <mask> served as the Braves' backup catcher first to Al López, then Ray Berres, and finally to Ernie Lombardi.He began to develop his reputation as a good defensive catcher from his association with knuckleball pitcher Jim Tobin. The other Braves catchers shunned Tobin due to the unpredictability of the notoriously difficult to catch knuckleball and, <mask> took over the job as his catcher. When Lombardi was traded to the New York Giants in 1943, <mask> became the Braves regular catcher. His work with Tobin paid off on April 27, 1944 when Tobin pitched a no hitter against the Brooklyn Dodgers. All-Star
<mask>'s batting continued to improve in 1945 when, he was hitting at a .335 pace in July to earn a place as a reserve catcher for the National League team in the 1945 All-Star Game however, the game was cancelled due to wartime travel restrictions. <mask> finished the season with a .272 batting average along with 25 doubles, 7 home runs and 46 runs batted in. He also led National League catchers in assists and was second in putouts and in baserunners caught stealing.<mask> was hitting for a .300 average in late June 1946, earning him a place as a reserve player for the National League in the 1946 All-Star Game. He ended the season with a .267 average, 3 home runs, a career-high 62 runs batted in and, led the league's catchers in putouts. In , pitchers Warren Spahn and Johnny Sain returned to the Braves from their military service and, their success further enhanced <mask>'s reputation for handling pitching staffs. Sain won 20 games in 1946 and led the league with 24 complete games as the Braves improved to a fourth-place finish in the National League standings. <mask> had his most productive season in 1947, earning his third selection as a reserve for the National League in the 1947 All-Star Game and ending the year ranked tenth in the league in hitting with a career-high .304 batting average. He also posted career-highs in home runs (9) and in on-base percentage (.377) and, continued to build upon his excellent defensive reputation by leading National League catchers with a .989 fielding percentage. <mask> guided the Braves' pitching staff to a league-leading 14 shutouts and the second-best team earned run average in the league, as both Spahn and Sain won 21 games each.The Braves continued to improve, finishing the  season in third place behind the Dodgers and Cardinals. Although <mask>'s offensive output began to decline in 1948, he earned his fourth consecutive All-Star selection due to his excellent defensive abilities. His pitch-calling skills helped the Braves' pitching staff lead the league in earned run average as the team clinched the  National League pennant by six and a half games over the St. Louis Cardinals. He also contributed a .253 batting average with 19 doubles, 5 home runs and 44 runs batted in. 1948 World Series controversy
It was in the first game of the 1948 World Series held at Braves Field against the favored Cleveland Indians that <mask> would become embroiled in a controversy that secured his place in baseball history. The Braves' Johnny Sain and Indians' Bob Feller were engaged in a scoreless pitchers' duel when the Braves came to bat in the bottom of the eighth inning. Feller walked Braves catcher Bill Salkeld to open the inning.Braves manager Billy Southworth then substituted the slow-footed Salkeld with <mask>, who entered the game as a pinch runner. Mike McCormick followed with a sacrifice bunt, advancing <mask> to second base. Feller issued an intentional walk to Eddie Stanky, who was replaced by Sibby Sisti. Feller then made a pick off attempt of <mask> at second base. Indians' shortstop Lou Boudreau appeared to tag <mask> out, but umpire Bill Stewart called him safe. Tommy Holmes followed with a single that scored <mask> with the only run of the game, giving the Braves a 1-0 victory. The umpire's controversial ruling touched off heated debates among the media and fans, especially after Associated Press photographs of the play were published.Although the victory gave the Braves a 1-0 lead, the Indians won the World Series in six games. Later career
<mask>'s offensive production continued to decline and, with young prospect Del Crandall ready to play, the Braves traded <mask> to the Pittsburgh Pirates in June 1949. After only a half-season with Pittsburgh, he was traded to his hometown Chicago White Sox in 1950. He earned the starting catchers job with the White Sox and helped them become a respectable team with his handling of the pitching staff. The team's earned run average ranked sixth in the league prior to <mask>'s arrival. With <mask> handling the pitching staff, the team's earned run average improved to fourth best in 1950. He had a .279 batting average in 1950 and led all American League catchers with a .996 fielding percentage, committing only two errors in 114 games.In 1951, <mask>'s experience was again evident as he helped the White Sox pitching staff improve their earned run average to second best in the American League behind the Cleveland Indians. He hit for a .271 batting average in 1951 at the age of 35. When the White Sox acquired a younger Sherm Lollar in 1952, <mask> returned to backup duties before being released at the end of the season. <mask> returned to the minor leagues in  where he helped the Dallas Eagles win the Texas League championship before going on to win the 1953 Dixie Series. He retired as a player at the end of the 1953 season at the age of 37. Career statistics

Over his career, he committed only 72 errors in 4,257 chances for a career .983 fielding percentage.A four-time All-Star, he led National League catchers in fielding percentage twice and, American League catchers once. A fast running catcher, he collected 45 stolen bases in his career and was often used in pinch-running duties. <mask> died on March 29,  in Mount Prospect, Illinois, at the age of 74. Upon his death, his will revealed that he really was out on the pick-off play in the 1948 World Series. References

<mask> was born in Birmingham, the son of a steel worker and a school secretary. He was educated at King Edward VI Grammar School in Aston, Birmingham, and at the University of Sheffield, where he gained a First in Politics. He has cited as his inspiration in politics the Birmingham-born Liberal politician Joseph Chamberlain, of whom he wrote a short biography for the Conservative History Group. He has supported conservative philosophies which he believes benefit poorer people and has suggested the Conservative party should focus on benefiting all citizens. Career

Early posts
Following his graduation, <mask> worked at the Conservative Research Department (CRD) for three years, from 2001 to 2004.In 2004, <mask> left the Conservative Research Department to work as corporate affairs adviser for the Corporation of London. In 2005, <mask> took up a post as a policy adviser for the Association of British Insurers. In 2006, <mask> returned to politics after two years in the financial sector, spending a year working for Theresa May - the first of three posts on May's staff. In 2007, <mask> returned to the CRD, where he worked for a further three years. Home Office
In 2010, Theresa May was appointed Secretary of State at the Home Office and appointed <mask> as a special adviser. He spent five years working for the Home Secretary, before leaving, in 2015, to become a Director at the New Schools Network (NSN). New Schools Network
While at the NSN he spoke in favour of ending the 50% Rule which requires oversubscribed Free Schools to allocate half of their places without reference to faith.In 2015, <mask> wrote an article to express his worry that the People's Republic of China was effectively buying Britain's silence on allegations of Chinese human rights abuse and opposing China's involvement in sensitive sectors such as the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station. He criticised David Cameron and George Osborne for "selling our national security to China" and asserted that "the Government seems intent on ignoring the evidence and presumably the advice of the security and intelligence agencies." He warned that security experts were worried that the Chinese could use their role in the programme to build weaknesses into computer systems which would allow them to shut down Britain's energy production at will and argued that "no amount of trade and investment should justify allowing a hostile state easy access to the country's critical national infrastructure." In October 2016, the Health Service Journal rated him as the fifth most influential person in the English NHS in 2016. <mask> has stated that he voted to leave the European Union in the 2016 membership referendum. Downing Street
Following David Cameron's resignation as Prime Minister in the wake of the Brexit referendum result, <mask> took a sabbatical from his position at the NSN to work on Theresa May's 2016 leadership campaign. May's campaign was a success and <mask> was appointed Joint Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister on 14 July 2016.In spring 2017, May called a snap general election. As a result of the election, the Conservative Party lost its majority and became a minority government dependent on the Democratic Unionist Party for their majority. <mask>, along with Fiona Hill, faced immediate calls for his removal. Theresa May was also given an ultimatum by Conservative Members of Parliament, to sack <mask> or face her own leadership challenge. On 9 June 2017, <mask> resigned as Joint Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister. He, along with Hill, had been blamed by members of the Conservative Party for a disastrous campaign, which resulted in May losing a 20-point lead in the polls. Reflecting in 2020 on the projected cost of adult social care, <mask> wrote "Many things went wrong in that election campaign, but I resigned as joint Chief of Staff in Downing Street because our social care proposal blew up the manifesto."Journalism

In February 2018, <mask> denied allegations of antisemitism following the publication of an article of which he was the principal author that claimed the existence of a  "secret plot" to stop Brexit by the Jewish philanthropist George Soros. In response, <mask> tweeted: "Throughout my career I’ve campaigned against antisemitism, helped secure more funding for security at synagogues and Jewish schools". 2019 general election

<mask> (1855 – July 4, 1925) was a St. Louis, Missouri, writer, best known for her Travel Letters. She was a self made woman and felt no need for women's suffrage. Biography
<mask> was born in 1855 in New Mexico, the daughter of Col. George A<mask>, of the Confederate Army. He moved to St. Louis after the war, with his family. After public school, <mask> graduated from Mary Institute after already contributing to Washington University's student paper. <mask> was twice the president of the Alumnae Association of Mary Institute. <mask> was offered a position with The Spectator after she wrote an article for an editor of a St. Louis paper who was ill. She held this job for two years before her family knew.In 1892 there was a season of opera in Chicago, and she decided to have an interview with a newspaper editor and suggest sending her to Chicago to write a series of articles and criticisms in advance of the St. Louis season. She received the appointment and attended the rehearsals to tell the readers what they might see that evening. She attended eight performances a week, and wrote a column each day. She was assisted in this by Pol Plancon, the De Rezkes, Emma Eames and other singers in the company. During her residence in London writing dramatic and musical criticisms, she began contributing to magazines, both American and English, while sending letters to the daily papers in St. Louis, as a special correspondent, on any subject that came before the public which she thought might be of general interest. In 1896, returning to St. Louis, she remained only six weeks, then went abroad again and stayed until 1899 writing for both American and English papers. <mask> became involved with the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St Louis after she was asked by an agent to misrepresent a play named America.She was told that the play should be recommended because it was linked to the Chicago's World's Fair. This proved not to be the case and she shared this information with the organisers in St Louis. As a result, she was given an appointment by the fair's board. She was given a large salary to go abroad and select material to exhibit at the Exposition. <mask> and the board annoyed the "Board of Lady Managers" as they understood that they world represent women's affairs. <mask> took little notice of their status, and she was the only woman member of the main board. <mask> set off and in London she found they had just recovered from the Boer War.Instead of beginning with the manufacturers she went to the King to request the Queen's Jubilee presents should be exhibited. At the next meeting of President D. R. Francis and the commissioners in London, it was her pleasure to inform them of her success in reserving valuable exhibits. Her next move was to go to Italy and get the Pope to give his consent to making a Vatican exhibit, which had never been done before. Through Cardinal Satolli arrangements were consummated. Francis put her in charge of historical exhibits in the anthropology division, which had originally been assigned to Pierre Chouteau III who had made little progress. Despite being the only woman on the Board of Commissioners she created successful anthropological exhibits, publicizing the fair, and acquiring significant exhibit items. When Francis published a history of the fair in 1913, he did not mention <mask>'s contributions and she never forgave the slight.<mask> was included in photographs of the St Louis fair organisers and she was given authority to negotiate exhibits, but in the end she received no more credit that the Board of Lady Managers, who were also sidelined. Although it was noted that the directors of the World's Fair presented her with the same kind of medal that was sent to the Kings, the Pope, and other heads of nations. <mask>'s success grew out of an acquaintance with international politics, and her taking advantage of the Venezuelan situation as between Great Britain and the United States. She suggested to the King, through the Ambassador, that he show his friendly feeling to the United States by making this loan. The presents were sent to the United States wholly through her diplomatic efforts, and she made her own selections from both palaces and museums. Six guards accompanied the shipment. Her Travel Letters to the different newspapers in St. Louis from abroad and they would include a wide variety of subjects.For many years she was a contributor to The Century and Harper's Bazaar magazines in America, and Country Life, Pall Mall Gazette, Jerome's Idler and the Daily Mail in London. For a long time she was the only woman writer for English Country Life. The Artists' Guild
As the founder of the Artists' Guild, her idea was to establish a permanent guild; previous "Painters," "Brush and Pencil" Clubs, and others, had not lasted. She thought to bring together the painters, sculptors, architects, musicians and literary people, and time proved her to have been right. The first meetings were held at the home of <mask> for nearly two years; later when the number grew larger — in other places; first in the old art museum, and after that in club rooms of their own in different localities, until the erection of their building on Union Avenue, of which Louis C. Spiering was the architect. The membership was limited to about two hundred. The work of the members was on exhibition to the public, and was open at all times.<mask> became the secretary of the guild and held that office several times. She was also the treasurer, as well as chairman of the examination committee — a title corresponding to that of president. Honours and legacy
<mask> was presented at the Royal Court, as well as the Vatican, where a private audience with the Pope was granted. In 1904 she was made Officer d'Instruction Publique by the French Government. The Royal Society of Arts of Great Britain appointed her a member, and also a Fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society. She died on July 4, 1925, at the home of her brother at 5843 Waterman Avenue, St. Louis, where she lived, and is buried at Bellefontaine Cemetery. The Florence <mask> Papers, 1880–1941, are hosted at the Missouri Historical Society.References
