Steve Davis, OBE (born 22 August 1957) is an English former professional snooker player from Plumstead, London. Known for dominating the sport during the 1980s, when he won the World Championship six times and was ranked world number one for seven consecutive seasons, he is remembered particularly for contesting the 1985 World Championship final with Dennis Taylor, the black-ball conclusion of which attracted a record 18.5 million British viewers. He is a well known public figure and is generally viewed by his peers as one of the greatest players of all time. Today, Davis combines his ongoing playing career with his role as a television analyst and commentator for the BBC's snooker coverage.
In addition to his six world titles, Davis's career achievements include three Masters and a record six UK Championship titles. He has won a total of 28 ranking events, tied with John Higgins, and behind only Stephen Hendry, and has won over £5.5 million in prize money. Davis has compiled more than 350 competitive century breaks, including the first officially recognised (and first televised) maximum break in professional competition, in 1982. During the 1987/1988 season, he became the first player to complete snooker's Triple Crown by winning the UK Championship, Masters, and World Championship in the same season. His other accomplishments include winning the World Doubles Championship four times with Tony Meo and winning the World Team Classic/World Cup four times with England.
Davis has served as a business leader and advisor for a range of private and nonprofit companies and international organizations. For 14 years he helped run the Bill Gates-founded digital media firm Corbis, including serving as its CEO for ten years. He also was a senior advisor and director of social innovation at McKinsey & Company, a global management consulting firm.
Esomeprazole (/ˌɛsoʊˈmɛprəˌzoʊl, -ˈmiː-, -ˌzɒl/) is a proton pump inhibitor (brand name Nexium, and many others worldwide) which reduces stomach acid secretion through inhibition of the H+/K+-ATPase in the parietal cells of the stomach. By inhibiting the functioning of this transporter, the drug prevents formation of stomach acid.
Esomeprazole is the (S)-(−)-enantiomer of omeprazole (brand name Losec/Prilosec). Generic versions of esomeprazole strontium are sold worldwide. As well, Nexium (esomeprazole magnesium) is currently sold over the counter through the US (in the lower, 20mg dose)
Medical use
The primary uses of esomeprazole are gastroesophageal reflux disease, treatment and maintenance of erosive esophagitis, treatment of duodenal ulcers caused by H. pylori, prevention of gastric ulcers in those on chronic NSAID therapy, and treatment of gastrointestinal ulcers associated with Crohn's disease.
Jazz drummer Steve Davis was born in Santa Barbara, California in 1958. With Shelly Manne as his godfather, he became interested in the drums at a young age.
Following the advice of drumset teacher Alan Dawson, Steve moved to New York in the early 1980s to begin his career as a jazz drummer. Soon after he met the jazz educator Jamey Aebersold, and in 1982 joined the Aebersold clinic faculty, of which he has been a member ever since. Throughout the 1980s Steve built up a reputation in the New York scene, playing and recording with many big names. During this period he also studied privately with Joe Morello.
Steve is now most widely known as a member of the Lynne Arriale trio. Pianist Arriale met Steve at a jam session soon after she herself moved to New York in 1991. There was an immediate musical rapport and they decided to work together. Steve has since appeared on 10 recordings with Arriale, and has toured worldwide with the trio for the last 15 years.
