paragraph: Charles Ferguson Hoey

paragraph: Charles Ferguson Hoey VC MC (29 March 1914 – 16 February 1944) was a Canadian recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.

He started his education at Queen Margaret's School in Duncan, then attended Duncan Grammar School and Duncan High School.

paragraph: Hoey went to England in 1933 to pursue an army career. He first enlisted in the Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment, won a cadetship to the Royal Military College at Sandhurst and went there in September 1935. He graduated in December 1936 and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in Lincolnshire Regiment on 28 January 1937.

paragraph: Section::::Victoria Cross.

paragraph: He was 29 years old, and a Temporary Major in the 1st Battalion, Lincolnshire Regiment, British Army during the Second World War when the following deed took place during the Battle of Ngakyedauk for which he was awarded the VC.

paragraph: On 16 February 1944 near the Ngakyedauk Pass, Arakan, Burma (now Myanmar), Major Hoey's company came under devastating machine-gun fire, but Major Hoey did not waver in his advance on the objective. Although wounded in the head and leg he went forward alone with a Bren gun and tackled a troublesome enemy strong point, destroying it and killing all the occupants, but he was mortally wounded.

paragraph: The citation reads as follows:

paragraph: "In BURMA, on the 16th February, 1944, Major Hoey's company formed part of a force which was ordered to capture a position at all costs. After a night march through enemy-held territory, the force was met at the foot of the position by machine gun fire. Major Hoey personally led his company under heavy machine gun and rifle fire up to the objective. Although wounded at least twice in the leg and head, he seized a Bren gun from one of his men and, firing from the hip, led his company into the objective. In spite of his wounds the company had difficulty in keeping up with him, and Major Hoey reached the enemy strong post first, where he killed all the occupants before being mortally wounded. Major Hoey's outstanding gallantry and leadership, his total disregard of personal safety and his grim determination to reach the objective resulted in the capture of this vital position."

paragraph: Victoriano Lorenzo

paragraph: Victoriano Lorenzo is considered one of the great heroes of Panamanian history, although his story and motives are sometimes debated by different sectors in his homeland. Born when the isthmus was still a part of Colombia, which was a part of the former Gran Colombia, Lorenzo died during the Thousand Days War shortly after which Panama gained its separation after many different attempts dating back to 1830.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Lorenzo was born sometime around the 1870s to poor campesinos in what is now the province of Cocle. He was considered a Cholo, of predominantly indigenous descent and Hispanic cultural background. He is remembered in rural areas, especially Coclé, as an indigenous chief who continued the cause of land rights and representation; evidence thereof includes that his father, Rosa Lorenzo, had been an indigenous leader and that Victoriano spoke indigenous languages. He also participated in the state political structure as an elected official outside of the provincial capital of Penonome.

paragraph: After many attempts to address indigenous grievances about land rights, abuses, and economic disadvantages through the judicial and state bureaucracies, he became frustrated and allied his indigenous fighters with the Liberal cause. Lorenzo was quick to take arms at the advent of the Thousand Days War in alliance with the Liberals led in part by Panamanian patriot Belisario Porras. He led troops in a Pacific coast skirmish which killed a conservative mayor and garnered him arms from the Liberals. He commanded his troops into battle in Aguadulce in January 1902, in which over 750 troops were killed or wounded on both sides, and his Liberal allies claimed 700 prisoners. Later that year, when hundreds of Liberal troops came from Nicaragua, Lorenzo sent his secretary, Papi Aizpuru, to meet them. Becoming one of the most wanted men by the Colombian central government, General Lorenzo and his wife, Lorenza Ibarra, led his soldiers to a base in the mountains known as La Trinchera, where he turned to guerrilla war to advance his cause, and averted many assassination attempts by Conservatives.

paragraph: The end of the Thousand Days War resulted in a defeat for the Liberals. General Benjamín Herrera, who had previously fought alongside Lorenzo in Aguadulce, signed a peace treaty with the Conservatives. Victoriano Lorenzo and his followers refused to give up their arms and insisted on continuing their struggle. After Herrera ordered his arrest, Lorenzo was lured into an ambush. Victoriano Lorenzo was executed on May 15, 1903 at the Plaza Francia, a tall sea wall, on the side facing Amador. Panama separated from Colombia less than seven months later. Lorenzo is buried in the Amador Cemetery.

paragraph: The Panamanian public was greatly dismayed by Lorenzo's execution. Public disapproval at this execution resulted in this being the last recorded execution in Panama. It was a factor leading the Liberals to accept Panama’s separation from Colombia, and led to the disappearance of Conservatives from Panamanian politics for some years thereafter. Many indigenous people in Panama understand his assassination as the defeat of their autonomous land rights and access to representation in the Panamanian state structure.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Lorenzo became a national legend in Panama. Today, several monuments and plaques exist in Cocle and Veraguas in Lorenzo's honor, and official events celebrating his life and remembering his execution are held both at the commemoration of his death and on the November 3 Separation Day. Panama's controversial figure Hugo Spadafora organized a contingent of his countrymen to fight against Nicaragua's Somoza regime in 1976 known as the Victoriano Lorenzo Brigade. On January 30, 1966, the Panamanian National Assembly formally declared his execution unjust. In 2003, Panama City's Mayor Juan Carlos Navarro (PRD) also issued a formal proclamation of Lorenzo's innocence. Carlos Francisco Chang Marín, the Panamanian poet and novelist alluded to Lorenzo in almost all his works in an effort to place him as a founding father of Panama. To Chang Marín, Lorenzo was the first true Panamanian whose life story and identity parallel that of Panama as a nation.

paragraph: Frederick E. Olmsted

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: He was the son of Frederick "Fritz" Erskine Olmsted (November 8, 1872 – 1925), a former forest Service employee, published author and advocated for federal regulation over private cutting. His mother was Florence Starbuck du Bois (December 18, 1874) and he had a brother named Julian Olmsted.

paragraph: Olmsted Jr. studied science at Stanford University, he was a student of Ralph Stackpole's at the California School of Fine Arts (CSFA) (now called the San Francisco Art Institute or SFAI). It was at California School of Fine Arts where he met and later married Barbara Greene.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Olmsted Jr. worked in the WPA, assisting John Langley Howard and George Albert Harris in their Coit Tower murals in San Francisco, and creating his own mural on a three-foot panel called "Power" above the main entrance. He also assisted Diego Rivera with his mural at the Art Institute in San Francisco with the theme building a city. Olmsted painted a window archway called "Pottery" in the Anne Bremer Memorial Library at SFAI.

paragraph: Olmsted Jr. painted the "Theory and Science" mural located at City College of San Francisco (CCSF) in the science building, west entrance in 1941. In 2002, CCSF staff, students and restoration professionals restored the mural. This mural depicts a range of careers in the sciences, featuring both men and women doing things such as viewing bacteria through a microscope, conducting field research, and excavating dinosaur remains.

paragraph: Olmsted Jr. created two large sculptures that stand 7 feet high, four foot square, and of 9 tons of granite, representing Leonardo da Vinci and Thomas Edison for the 1939–1940 Golden Gate International Exposition on Treasure Island. These sculptures were carved for the WPA exhibition "Art in Action". Art in Action was an exhibit of artists at work displayed for four months in the summer of 1940. When the Golden Gate International Exposition was over, the sculptures were donated to CCSF and are currently on display at the CCSF Ocean Campus.

paragraph: He taught art for a few years at Arts and Crafts in Oakland (now called California College of Art or CCA).

paragraph: After Barbara and he divorced, he continued to work as a sculptor, and became more interested in studying science. He later abandoned his art career and became a scientist at Yale University and later a biophysicist at the Cleveland Clinic. He designed medical equipment for the Cleveland Clinic and it was there he developed a machine to shock the diseased heart of one of dogs, a prototype for today's pacemaker. Olmsted then worked at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, designing equipment for the Oceanographic Institute.

paragraph: He died in Falmouth, Massachusetts on February 14, 1990 at the age of 78.

paragraph: Al-Maziri

paragraph: Al-Maziri (1061 – 1141 CE) (453 AH – 536 AH ), also known as Imam al-Maziri and Imam al-Mazari was an important Tunisian jurist in the Maliki school of Sunni Islamic Law. He was one of the most important figures in the school and his opinions are well known and respected to this day. Al-Maziri was one of four jurists whose positions were held as authoritative by Khalil ibn Ishaq in his Mukhtassar, which is the most important of the later texts in the relied upon positions of the school. It is for this reason that he is referred to simply as "al-Imam" (the Imam) within the Maliki school.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: There is a difference of opinion as to where Muhammad al-Maziri was born. Many sources state his place of birth as Mazara (modern day Mazara del Vallo) on the Western Sicilian coast. Others state that he was born in Mahdia, the Tunisian city where he lived for most of his life and also died. Among the most famous jurists and historians to place al-Maziri's place of birth as Sicily was the Medinan Maliki scholar Ibn Farhun. He was born in 1061 CE (453 AH), the year in which Roger I of Sicily crossed from the Italian mainland and began his thirty-year conquest of Sicily from the Muslims. Muhammad spent his early life studying as a young boy in Mazara, in the South of the island, before he and his family crossed to Mahdia in modern-day Tunisia and settled there. Historians state the impending Christian invasion as the reason for their emigration.

paragraph: Al-Maziri's descent was from the Banu Tamim, an Arab tribe from which the Aghlabid rulers of North Africa and the Mediterranean islands descended from. The Banu Tamim had been one of the first Arab tribes to immigrate to North Africa from Arabia during the early conquest of Uqba ibn Nafi in the 7th century CE. Al-Maziri's distant grandfather was amongst the army led by Asad ibn al-Furat who conquered Sicily in the 9th century CE.

paragraph: The context in which al-Maziri was raised in Ifriqiya was equally turbulent to his Sicilian hometown. The political and social environment in the Maghreb was upheaved by the immigration of hundreds of thousands of Arab bedouins to North Africa as punishment by the Fatimid rulers to the Zirids for their cut from the Shiite Caliphate and pledging of allegiance to the Sunni Caliph of Baghdad. The event led to the sacking of Ifriqiya's cities, the most important of which was the capital Kairouan, and the departure of many scholars to Andalusia and elsewhere. Nevertheless, al-Maziri and his family remained, and he grew up in the new fortified Zirid capital of Mahdia. The turbulent events in which al-Maziri was raised has led historians to link his upbringing with his generally cautious character.

paragraph: Section::::Education and Works.

paragraph: Al-Maziri was very reserved when it came to giving or recording information about his life and educational background. Historians therefore use his fatawa (or legal opinions) to discern who he studied under and what people and places had the most profound influence on his life. Al-Maziri travelled throughout North Africa in his quest for his knowledge to cities such as Tunis, Gabès, Gafsa, Tripoli and Alexandria. The scholar who had one of the strongest influences on al-Maziri was Abdul-Hamid ibn al-Saigh. It is also certain that he studied under the equally famous Tunisian Maliki scholar al-Lakhmi.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Al-Maziri has a broad intellectual legacy. To this day there is a square named Imam al-Mazari square in Mazara del Vallo, the Sicilian town of his birth.

paragraph: Mrs. Julian Heath (Jennie Dewey Heath,) (1863 - November 18, 1932) founded the National Housewives League in 1911, and served as its president until her death in 1932.

paragraph: In 1924 she began regularly appearing on the WJZ radio station in New York, talking about home economics. She was on-air five days a week for a number of years. Prior to starting the radio show, the Housewives League had its share of scandal due to conflicts of interest arising from endorsements of food manufacturers who also advertised heavily in the league's publications.

paragraph: Earlier in life, Heath also did some work with Jacob Riis at the Flower Mission and Riis Settlement House.

paragraph: Maxime Maufra

paragraph: Maxime Maufra (May 17, 1861 in Nantes – May 23, 1918), was a French landscape and marine painter, etcher and lithographer.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Maufra first began painting at 18. He was encouraged to do so by two artists from Nantes such as the brothers Charles Leduc and Alfred Leduc and the landscape painter Charles Le Roux.

paragraph: However, he did not fully embrace his painting career right away. He remained in the first place a businessman and only painted in his spare time from 1884 to 1890. During this period, Maufra discovered the work of the Impressionists. He also displayed his works at the Paris Salon of 1886.

paragraph: In 1890, Maufra decided to give up business and to become a full-time painter. He left Nantes for Brittany, where he was met Paul Gauguin and Paul Sérusier. Maufra had his first solo exhibition in Paris in 1894, at Le Barc de Toutteville. He subsequently exhibited with Durand-Ruel, to whom he remained under contract for the rest of his life.

paragraph: Returning from Brittany, Maufra was the first painter to take up residence in the Bateau-Lavoir in Montmartre, a famous Parisian residence for artists. He returned to Brittany each year, in particular to the Quiberon region. He found inspiration for his art in his travels which took him to the Dauphiné (1904), the Midi (1912), Algeria (1913) and Savoy (1914).

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: Maufra was mainly an artist of landscapes and marine views. In his compositions, Maufra sometimes quoted the pointillist technique of Pissarro or Sisley, and also took from the strong colors and powerful drawing of the Pont Aven school.

paragraph: Maufra remained an independent artist his all life through and dedicated his art to recording the beauty of nature. He also explored etching and lithography.

paragraph: Kim Suk-won (general)

paragraph: Kim Suk-won (29 September 1893 – 6 August 1978) was a Officer in the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. He was the third-highest ranking ethnic Korean in the Japanese Army behind Lt. General Hong Sa-ik and Korean Crown Prince Euimin.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Seoul, Kim was sent to Japan for studies in 1909 just before the Empire of Korea was annexed by Japan.

paragraph: Kim entered the 27th class of the Imperial Japanese Army Academy in 1913. At that time, there were several students from Korea enrolled at the military academy. Many of those who opposed the annexation had already left to join in the movements for Korean independence; others followed the advice of Ji Cheong-cheon, who argued that they should stay and learn military skills from the Japanese before joining the independence movements. However, Kim saw the annexation of Korea as an opportunity for advancement, and a chance to prove his loyalty to Japan. Following his 1915 graduation, Kim was assigned to the IJA 4th Division, based in Osaka. In 1917, Kim was promoted to the rank of first lieutenant.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Invasion of Manchuria.

paragraph: During the 1931 invasion of Manchuria, Kim was captain of a mechanised artillery division, which had a distinguished combat record. After the 1937 outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War, Kim was further promoted to major, and assigned to the IJA 20th Division based outside of Seoul, which was a singular indication of the trust that he had attained within the Japanese military. In May 1937, Kim led the 74th Infantry Regiment (based in Hamhung and commanded by Kim Ik Uk) on a mission to eradicate Kim Il Sung's bandits in the border area around Baekdu Mountain. However, his force of about 2,000 men walked into a trap set by Kim Il Sung at Chiensan Pass, some distance north of Hyesanjin and Kim Il Sung's ten heavy machine guns mowed down Kim Suk Won's Japanese troops. Kim escaped the encounter with only 200 survivors.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Second Sino-Japanese War.

paragraph: Kim was dispatched to mainland China in July 1937. Prior to departing, he announced that he intended to die for the Emperor in battle and asked that a school be established in his memory, to be financed partly by the 700 won reward money he had received from Emperor Hirohito for his previous victories in Manchuria. However, this request alarmed the officials in the Japanese administration in Korea, who felt that such a school in honor of an ethnic Korean that might foster Korean nationalism.

paragraph: Kim distinguished himself again at the Battle of Dingwon on 28 July 1937, where he led two companies of Japanese soldiers in a seven-hour hand-to-hand combat that smashed a Chinese division. He was awarded several medals and the Governor-General of Korea gave his permission for a school, the "Won Suk Academy" to be founded in 1938. This academy is known today as Seongnam Junior and Senior High Schools.

paragraph: Following the 1939 implementation of the "sōshi-kaimei" (name change) policy, Kim adopted the Japanese style name Kaneyama Shakugen, by adding the character for "mountain" to his Korean surname Kim; his Japanese given name "Shakugen" was just the Japanese reading of his Korean name.

paragraph: In March 1939, Kim was promoted to lieutenant colonel soon after returning Seoul, reassigned to the 78th Infantry Regiment of the IJA 20th Division, located in Yongsan. He awarded the Order of the Golden Kite, 3rd class. In 1944, Kim was further promoted to colonel; he was active on the home front in Korea during this time, giving speeches at schools and publishing articles in the official newspaper "Maeil Sinbo" encouraging Korean youths to volunteer to serve in the Imperial Japanese Army. He was also instrumental in the implementation of the draft on the Korean peninsula, which began from January 20, 1944.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:After World War II.

paragraph: After the surrender of Japan ended World War II, Kim joined the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea's military affairs commission, and later the Republic of Korea Army, where he held the rank of brigadier general. In 1948, Korean President Syngman Rhee put Kim in charge of the South Korean border units, and attempted to name him commander of the South Korean Army, but was overridden by General Walton H. Walker of the United States Eighth Army, who distrusted Kim's background.

paragraph: Kim retired from active duty, but was recalled in early July 1950 due to the outbreak of the Korean War. He was promoted to Major General and retired again in 1956. Kim published his memoirs in 1977. After his death in 1978, he was buried next to Seongnam High School, of which he was one of the founders. A bronze bust of him remains standing on the school ground; in 2002, protestors attempted to have it taken down.

paragraph: Károly Doncsecz

paragraph: Károly Doncsecz () was a Slovene potter in Hungary and in 1984 he received the award "Master of folk art" for his work. Doncsecz was born in Orfalu, (Vas County).

paragraph: He graduated from the apprenticeship in Magyarszombatfa and Zalaegerszeg, Sümeg (Zala County), after Szentgotthárd.

paragraph: From 1940 on Doncsecz lived and worked in Kétvölgy, (Vas County). Since the 1970s, he was the only Slovene potter in Hungary. His potter works were presented in numerous exhibits all over Hungary and Slovenia. When he was still alive, travel groups from the motherland Slovenia often visited him in his kétvölgyian workshop, and Doncsecz did not only tell about his craft, but also about biographies of many Slovenes from the Rába region in his mother tongue.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Károly Doncsecz was born in Orfalu. His parents were well off farmers of Slovenian origin. Both his father, Károly Dancsecz (1894–1927) and his mother, Anna Talabér (1900–1920) were born in Orfalu. He had a brother, István, who emigrated to and settled down in Canada in the 1960s (Steve Doncsecz died in 2008).

paragraph: The brothers lost their parents very early. Their mother died while giving birth. Their father died seven years later of pulmonary disease. The brothers were raised by their grandfather, István Dancsecz (1871–1932) for a while.

paragraph: When he was young, Károly worked for a turner in Orfalu. Originally he wanted to be a tailor but he got familiar with pottery in Apátistvánfalva at a potter called Károly Kürnyek who suggested to choose this trade. He went to Magyarszombatfa at the age of 15 in 1933. He was an apprentice of János Zsohár for 3 years and he studied the bases of the trade here. Later, most of his pieces of works showed a lot a similarity with the Magyarszombatfa style of pottery. The most difficult one was the Mowerjug ("bugyogakorsó"). From 1937 to 1938 he worked for Lajos Németh in Zalaegerszeg, then he went to István Adorján, a potter who lived Sümeg. He is thought to learn the patterns of the Great Plain here, and he was also influenced by Balázs Badár (1854–1939), a famous potter from Mezőtúr. During the years he collected ceramics from Vendvidék, Őrség, Transdanubia (Dunántúl) and the Great Plain, and he used them as samples. Later he displayed them on a shelf in his store with his first ceramics together.

paragraph: In 1939 he lived in Szentgotthárd for a short while and he worked for János Kerécz, then he went back home to Orfalu and he married Anna Gáspár (1920–1984). They had 3 sons together. The youngest son, Károly Doncsecz jr. (1949–2005) became a potter too. However, he went to trade school he learned pottery mostly from his father.

paragraph: He moved to "Permise" (later called Kétvölgy) after inheriting a house from his wife’s parents. The house used to be a pub before.

paragraph: He was enlisted in 1942 and was sent to Kolozsvár (Cluj Napoca), but he was transported to Ukraine soon and he fought in the battles near Stanislaw (today "Ivano-Frankivsk", Ukraine). In 1944 when their troops were withdrawing they were attacked by the British near Kolomea (today Kolomia, Ukraine) in Poland. He managed to escape, but he was soon captured by the Soviets and was deported to Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic). He escaped and got through Slovakia but he was captured in Győr again. Luckily he was shortly released, so he could go back home.

paragraph: Besides pottery he was farming too. He was a driver to Zala County and he was a regular vendor of the "Őrségi Vásár" ("Őrségian Market") in Őriszentpéter.

paragraph: He was an acknowledged potter of the Association of Hungarian South Slavics and later of the Association of Hungarian Slovenes. In 1984 he was given the prize of "Master of Folk Art" by Béla Köpeczi, the then minister of civilization.

paragraph: He had a lot of visitors coming not only from all over the country, but also from abroad, mainly from Slovenia, although he also had some German and French visitors too. In 2001 he was given the Order of Vitéz for his military service. He never used this title though.

paragraph: At the end of his life he was often ill, which jeopardized his work too. He died in the hospital in Körmend at the age of 84. With his death the pottery of Vendvidék vanished.

paragraph: He was buried at Istvánfalvian Cemetery.

paragraph: Lucky Peterson

paragraph: Lucky Peterson (born Judge Kenneth Peterson; December 13, 1964 in Buffalo, New York) is an American musician who plays contemporary blues, fusing soul, R&B, gospel and rock and roll. He plays guitar and keyboards. Music journalist Tony Russell, in his book "The Blues - From Robert Johnson to Robert Cray" has said, "he may be the only blues musician to have had national television exposure in short pants."

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Peterson's father, bluesman James Peterson, owned a nightclub in Buffalo called The Governor's Inn. The club was a regular stop for fellow bluesmen such as Willie Dixon. Dixon saw a five-year-old Lucky Peterson performing at the club and, in Peterson's words, "Took me under his wing." Months later, Peterson performed on "The Tonight Show", "The Ed Sullivan Show" and "What's My Line?". Millions of people watched Peterson sing "1-2-3-4", a cover version of "Please, Please, Please" by James Brown. At the time, Peterson said "his father wrote it". Around this time he recorded his first album, "Our Future: 5 Year Old Lucky Peterson", for Today/Perception Records and appeared on the public television show, "Soul!".

paragraph: As a teen, Peterson studied at the Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts, where he played the French horn with the school symphony. Soon, he was playing backup guitar and keyboards for Etta James, Bobby "Blue" Bland, and Little Milton.

paragraph: The 1990s were a prolific period for Peterson. Two solo Bob Greenlee produced albums for the Chicago-based Alligator Records (1989's "Lucky Strikes!", and the following year's "Triple Play") remain his finest recorded offerings. He then released four more for the Verve record label, ("I'm Ready", "Beyond Cool", "Lifetime", and "Move"). While with Verve, Peterson collaborated with Mavis Staples on a tribute to gospel singer Mahalia Jackson, called "Spirituals & Gospel". Peterson played electronic organ behind Staples' singing.

paragraph: More albums from Peterson came after 2000. He recorded two for Blue Thumb ("Lucky Peterson", and "Double Dealin"'), and one for Disques Dreyfus entitled, "Black Midnight Sun". In 2007, he released "Tête à Tête" on JSP Records.

paragraph: Turki bin Saud al-Kabir

paragraph: Turki bin Saud al-Kabeer (تركي بن سعود الكبير) was a Saudi prince and a direct successor of Saud ibn Abd al-Aziz ibn Saud. Based on the bloodline, his father, Saud Al-Kabeer was married to Abdul Aziz's sister called Nura. Saud Al-Kabeer was a prominent figure in the "majlis" of internal advisers who were very close to Abdul Aziz who ruled the country until 1953.

paragraph: Prince Turki's execution for murder was announced by Saudi state media on October 18, 2016. He was the first member of the Saudi royal family to be executed since the execution of 19 year old Princess Mishaal bint Fahd bin Mohammed Al Saud in 1977.

paragraph: Section::::Crime and punishment.

paragraph: Prince Turki pleaded guilty to the murder of Adel bin Suleiman bin Abdulkareem Al-Muhaimeed, whom he shot to death in 2012. The victim was "a friend" of the shooter, who also injured other people in a brawl in the desert outside Riyadh.

paragraph: After the victim's family refused offers of blood money, he was executed by beheading. It was the 134th execution of 2016 in Saudi Arabia.

paragraph: Section::::Execution.

paragraph: After the victim's father refused blood money from prince's father, the execution of the Saudi prince was continued. A few hours before the execution, Prince Turki was met by his friends and family within four hours. Meanwhile, awaiting for the execution, Prince Turki spent his time by praying and reading the Quran until the Fajr prayer. Around 7 A.M., the prison warden took him to the place where the prince was to write his last will. After he performed ablution, at 11 A.M., he was taken to the mosque. At the final hour before the execution, the prince’s father tried to convince the victim’s father to forgive the prince and to accept (blood money). However, the victim's father did not accept this offer nor did he forgive his son's killer. The attempt failed, and the execution continued immediately after at 4:13 P.M.

paragraph: Prince Turki's execution started significant discussion on Saudi social media, with interpreters from different parts of the country’s society taking to Twitter, predominantly in support of the Saudi authorities’ judgement to handle the case like any other Saudi citizen.

paragraph: Jasper Howard

paragraph: Jasper Tyrone Howard (January 28, 1989 – October 18, 2009), was a cornerback for the University of Connecticut Huskies from 2007 to 2009. He was fatally stabbed on October 18, 2009, hours after UConn's win over the Louisville Cardinals.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Howard grew up in the Little Haiti neighborhood of Miami, an area known for its poverty and violence. His mother JoAngila Howard worked numerous jobs to support Howard and his two younger sisters.

paragraph: His youngest sister had health issues after battling a severe case of meningitis. His plan was to get a football scholarship and go to the NFL to get money and get his family out of the violent streets of Miami. At Miami Edison High School, Howard was an All-Dade County pick as a senior, and named MVP of the annual Nike Dade-Broward All-Star Game after returning a punt 70 yards for a touchdown and making a 45-yard touchdown catch. He was also the team captain.

paragraph: Section::::University of Connecticut.

paragraph: Howard became the first person in his family to go to college when he enrolled at the University of Connecticut. In his freshman season he played in seven games as a reserve defensive back and on special teams but had no starts. During the offseason he worked hard on the field and it started to pay off. He started all thirteen games in his sophomore season as cornerback and led the Big East Conference in punt returns. During his junior season Howard seemed to be getting better every game. In his last game with the Huskies on October 17, 2009, he had 7 solo tackles and 4 assisted giving him a total of 11 tackles in the game, a career-high. He also had a fumble recovery.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Just after midnight on the morning of October 18, Howard and some of his teammates were at an on-campus dance to celebrate the 38-25 homecoming win over Louisville. Jasper was stabbed to death outside the Student Union Center on the UConn campus where the dance was held. On Monday, October 19, 2009 police arrested Johnny Hood, 21, of Hartford, Connecticut. Police said that Hood had been charged with interfering with an officer and with breaching the peace, but that he had not been charged in the stabbing death of Howard.

paragraph: Subsequently, arrests were made in connection with Howard's murder. John William Lomax III, 21, was scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, October 28 on charges of murder and conspiracy to commit assault in the Oct 18 death of Jasper Howard, police said. His bond was set at $2 million. Police also arrested two other people in connection with the fight that led to Howard's death. Hakim Muhammad, 20, was charged with conspiracy to commit assault and Jamal Todd, 21, faces a felony charge of falsely reporting an incident and a misdemeanor charge of reckless endangerment for pulling a fire alarm that emptied the dance early that Sunday morning. On January 14, 2011, Lomax pleaded no contest to first degree manslaughter, and on March 25, 2011, he was sentenced to 18 years in prison.

paragraph: Section::::Memorials.

paragraph: On Tuesday, October 20, Connecticut students held a Day of Silence in memory of Jasper, during which the community wore dark clothes to indicate that they are united in mourning. The next day there was a candlelight vigil held on campus. During the Huskies' game against Big East rival West Virginia in Morgantown, the West Virginia players wore decals on their helmets bearing Howard's initials and displayed Howard's helmet and jersey while they observed a moment of silence; the team carried the helmet and jersey with them on the road through the 2010 season, when Howard would have been a senior. Howard's locker, adorned with letters, cards and the poster board from the Monday night vigil immediately following his death, will also remain decorated until that time. A large mural in the lobby of the Burton Family Football Complex that features former linebacker Alfred Fincher will be replaced with a photo of Howard and a plaque commemorating his life and accomplishments along with the quote said by Jasper after the October 18 win over Louisville, "Play each play like it's the last play you'll ever play." Additionally, Edsall is planning on establishing a foundation that will help urban kids pay for college and also aid families of terminally ill players, something that Howard believed was important. Further, former Miami Edison Senior High School teammate and former Clemson Tigers cornerback Chris Chancellor paid tribute to Howard by changing his number from 38 to 6.

paragraph: During the Fiesta Bowl on January 1, 2011 against the Oklahoma Sooners, teammate Kashif Moore wore Jasper's number six jersey in tribute. Tribute songs were made by Little Haiti rapper Hollywoodyo, entitled "For The Dead".

paragraph: On November 1, 2014, during that year's Homecoming, UConn unveiled a monument dedicated to Howard at Rentschler Field in front of the scoreboard on the concourse level. The monument was funded in part by a donation from Howard's former coach Randy Edsall, then head coach at the University of Maryland, who made an appearance at the ceremony via a recorded message played on the video board. More than 30 former teammates of Howard were present at the ceremony—including his best friends on the team, Andre Dixon and Kashif Moore—as well as greater than 30 members of Howard's extended family including his fiancée and daughter.

paragraph: Fuego (wrestler)

paragraph: Fuego (born December 11, 1981) is a Mexican "luchador enmascarado", or masked professional wrestler currently working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). His original ring character, Flash, was inspired by the comic book character The Flash. Fuego regularly teams with Stuka, Jr., with whom he held the CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship for a record four and a half years. Fuego's real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans. On November 19, 2009 it was announced that Flash was changing his ring name to Fuego (Spanish for "Fire") from that point forward.

paragraph: Flash made his professional wrestling debut in 2003, immediately adopting the ring name Flash and an outfit and mask that was patterned after the comic book character The Flash, although he would often change the main color of his outfit to blue or white and not just the red of the original character. After only a year of professional experience Flash was offered and accepted a contract with the Mexican promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). Flash made his CMLL debut in April, 2004 on a show in Puebla, Puebla working mainly in the first and second match of the night. Flash's first top level exposure came in 2007 when he teamed with Marco Corleone in the 2007 "Gran Alternativa" tournament. The team lost to Dos Caras, Jr. and Valiente in the first round.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.:Teaming with Stuka, Jr..

paragraph: By 2008 Flash had begun teaming with Stuka, Jr. on a semi-regular basis, especially on CMLL's "lower level" shows away from Arena Mexico. When CMLL announced that they were bringing back the CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship in June, 2008 the team of Flash and Stuka, Jr. was one of the 16 teams entered in the tournament. The first three rounds of the tournament took place on June 22, 2008 and saw Stucka, Jr. and Flash defeated Astro Boy and Molotov in the first round, the "Los Guerreros Tuareg" team of Nitro and Skandalo in the quarter final and Bronco and Diamante Negro in the semi final The team faced and defeated "Los Infernales" (Nosferatu and Euforia) in the final on June 28, 2008 to win the Arena Colise Tag Team Championship. Flash and Stuka, Jr. teamed with Máscara Purpura to defeat the "Guerreros Tuareg" team of Arkangel de la Muerte, Loco Max and Skándalo at CMLL's 2008 "Infierno en el Ring" event. Through the fall of 2009 Flash and Stuka, Jr. worked a series of matches against "Los Infernales", including a successful tag team title defense on December 14, 2008. "Los Infernales" defeated Stuka, Jr. and Flash at CMLL's "La Hora Cero" PPV on January 11, 2009 but the Coliseo Tag Team title was not on Flash and Stuka, Jr. teamed with Metalico at CMLL's 2009 "Infierno en el Ring" event as the trio lost to the team of Virus, Euforia and Skandalo. At a CMLL press conference on November 19, 2009 it was announced that Flash had changed his name to "Fuego" ("Fire") and along with the name changed his outfit to a "fire" inspired outfit instead of the outfit that closely resembled the DC superhero. On March 3, 2013, Fuego's and Stuka, Jr.'s four and a half year reign as the CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Champions came to an end, when they lost the title to "La Fievre Amarilla" ("The Yellow Fever"; Namajague and Okumura). On October 27, Fuego won his first singles title, when he defeated Bárbaro Cavernario for the Occidente Middleweight Championship. From January 14 to 19, 2014, Fuego worked the New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) and CMLL co-produced "Fantastica Mania 2014" tour, which marked his debut in Japan. For the entire tour, Fuego worked undercard matches, often teaming with Rey Cometa and Stuka, Jr. From June 28 to July 13, 2014, Fuego worked another tour with NJPW, working opposite Máscara Dorada. On October 25, 2014, Fuego returned to NJPW, teaming up with Ryusuke Taguchi for the 2014 Super Junior Tag Tournament. The team lost to El Desperado and Taichi in the first round. Fuego remained with NJPW until November 8.

paragraph: On December 25, 2015 as part of CMLL's annual "Infierno en el Ring" show Fuego was one of twelve men risking their mask in the main event steel cage match. He was the ninth man to leave the cage, keeping his mask safe in the process. Three days later Fuego once again risked his mask in a steel cage match, this time in Arena Puebla where ten men risked their masks or hair in the ring. Once again Fuego escaped the ring, keeping his mask safe.

paragraph: On October 21, 2016, Fuego took part in 2016 Super Jr. Tag Tournament which is held at "Road to Power Struggle" event, teaming up with Ryusuke Taguchi. They advanced to the next round after defeating the team of Jushin Thunder Liger and Tiger Mask in the first round. In the semi-finals Fuego and Taguchi lost to Roppongi Vice (Beretta and Rocky Romero) to be eliminated from the tournament.

paragraph: Section::::Not to be mistaken for.

paragraph: Several wrestlers have used the ring name "Flash", most notably a wrestler from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico who held the Mexican National Lightweight Championship under that name. The Guadalajara Flash passed the name on to his sons who wrestle as Flash I and Flash II or alternately Hijo de Flash I and Hijo de Flash II.

paragraph: Agnes of Poland

paragraph: Agnes of Poland (, ; b. 1137 - d. aft. 1182), was a Polish princess member of the House of Piast and by marriage Princess of Pereyaslavl and Volynia and Grand Princess of Kiev since 1168.

paragraph: She was the daughter of Bolesław III Wrymouth, Duke of Poland, by his second wife Salomea, daughter of Henry, Count of Berg.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Early years.

paragraph: Agnes was the penultimate child and youngest daughter of her parents. The date of birth is known thanks to Ortlieb, benedictine monk of Zwiefalten who visited the court of Dowager Duchess Salomea in Łęczyca between 1140 and early 1141; in his reports, he mentioned that Agnes was three years old. As in 1138 Salomea gave birth the future Casimir II the Just, Agnes was born a year earlier.

paragraph: She was probably named after the wife of his half-brother Władysław II, Agnes of Babenberg, even though it's unwillingness to Salomea of Berg. It's also possible that she was named after his father's half-sister Agnes, Abbess of Gandersheim and Quedlinburg.

paragraph: In 1141 Salomea of Berg organized a meeting in Łęczyca, where his eldest sons (Bolesław IV and Mieszko III), and the lords had to decide, among other things, the future of Agnes. They had two options: sent her to the Benedictine monastery in Zwiefalten (where her older sister Gertruda was already a nun) or married her with one of the ruling princes of that time. Eventually it was decided the alliance with Kievan Rus', and thus gain an ally against Władysław II. According to the majority of historians, the chosen groom was Prince Mstislav Iziaslavich. This hypothesis is supported by the fact that ten years later he married Agnes. The second view as a candidate for the hand of Agnes was one of the sons of the Grand Prince of Kiev, Vsevolod II Olgovich. Soon after, he reject the proposal of the Junior Dukes and their mother and choose the alliance with Władysław II, reinforced in 1142 when his eldest son Bolesław married with Vsevolod II's daughter Zvenislava.

paragraph: Władysław II wasn't invited to the Łęczyca meeting, despite the fact that, as the High Duke, he had the final voice on Agnes' engagement. In retaliation for this omission, in the winter of 1142-1143 he supported Kievan military actions against Salomea and her sons. The first clash between the brothers was a complete success by the High Duke.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Marriage.

paragraph: Probably between the end of 1149 and 1151, Agnes married with Prince Mstislav Iziaslavich of Pereyaslavl, eldest son of Grand Prince Iziaslav II of Kiev. The Chronicler Wincenty Kadłubek, who knew the Piast-Rurikids affinities, explicitly described in his "Chronica Poloniae" that Agnes was given to Mstislav as wife. Further confirmation of this fact where: Mstislav's eldest son was called "nephew" of Casimir II the Just, and the relationship existing between Roman the Great and Leszek the White is described as cousins in the second degree. In addition, Roman is named "jątrwią" (wife's brother), of Leszek in the Hypatian Codex. Therefore, is Mstislav had to marry with any of Bolesław III's daughters, the only one who could marry was Agnes.

paragraph: During her marriage, Agnes bore her husband three sons: Roman the Great, Vsevolod and Vladimir. Mstislav's firstborn son, Sviatoslav, is considered by the majority of historians an illegitimate child.

paragraph: After Grand Prince Iziaslav II's death, Mstislav lost his Principality of Pereyaslavl (1155) and took refuge with his wife in Poland. However, the next year he was able to return and conquer Lutzk (during 1155-1157) and Volynia (during 1157-1170). In May 1168, after the death of Rostislav Mstislavich, Mstislav became in the Grand Prince of Kiev and Agnes in the Grand Princess consort.

paragraph: However, Mstislav II's reign was short-lived: in December 1169 a great coalition of Rurikid princes led by Prince Andrei I Bogolyubsky of Vladimir-Suzdal and his son Mstislav was created against him. Unable to defend Kiev, Mstislav II fled to Volynia, leaving his family at the mercy of his enemies. Two months later (February 1170), Mstislav II was able to recover Kiev thanks to the citizenship, who favored his rule; but in April of that year he was again expelled from Kiev, this time for good. The deposed Grand Prince retired to his domains in Volynia, where he died on 19 August 1170.

paragraph: Section::::Death and aftermath.

paragraph: The last mention of Agnes as a living person comes from the "Chronica Poloniae" of Wincenty Kadłubek. Sviatoslav, Prince of Brest, was exiled by his half-brothers as a result of the allegations that he was illegitimate. Then Casimir II the Just invaded Brest and restored him in his domains. The "Chronicle of the Chapter of Kraków" informs about an expedition of Casimir II into Kievan Rus' in 1182.

paragraph: Agnes' later fate is unknown. It is also unknown where she died or where she was buried.

paragraph: Niccolò di Pitigliano

paragraph: Niccolò di Pitigliano (1442–1510) was an Italian condottiero best known as the Captain-General of the Venetians during the Most Serene Republic's war against the League of Cambrai. He was a member of the powerful feudal family of the Orsini, belonging to its Pitigliano line.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early years.

paragraph: Niccolò di Pitigliano was born in Pitigliano, in the Maremma, the son of Aldobrandino Paioletti ll, Count of Pitigliano and his wife Bartolomea. He was the descendant of a Romano ["Romanello"] Orsini, Count of Nola, who had acquired the Signoria of the tiny Tuscan citystate of Pitigliano in 1293 by marrying Anastasia de Montfort, heiress of the Aldobrandeschi Lords of the city. His parents both came from different branches of the Orsini clan.

paragraph: Equipped with the reputation that comes from a famous name, the connections and dynastic links with many of the ruling families of Italy, and with their own private fief as a base, both Niccolò Paioletti, and his father Aldobrandino Paioletti made careers as mercenaries taking Condotte (mercenary contracts) with Florence, Siena, the Pope, and the Kingdom of Naples at various times.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Career as a condottiero.

paragraph: A chronological list of the Niccolò di Pitigliano's early contracts shows him moving among the same employers and taking service with the same State more than once.

paragraph: Niccolò di Pitigliano's significant Condotte were as follows:

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1458 – Papacy

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1463 – Kingdom of Naples

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1473 – Florence, with the rank of Field Marshal of the Republic

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1481 – Kingdom of Naples

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1482 – Papacy

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1485 – Florence, with the rank of Captain General of the Republic (Florence's highest military rank)

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1489 – Papacy, as Captain General of the Church

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1495 – Venice

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:In Venetian service and the War of the League of Cambrai.

paragraph: From 1495 until the end of his life Niccolò di Pitigliano remained in Venetian service as Governatore Generale delle Milizie Veneziane (Governor General of Venetian Forces). The highpoint of his career was the role that he played in the War between the Venetian Republic and the League of Cambrai.

paragraph: In the first decade of the sixteenth century Pope Julius II planned to curb the power of Venice in northern Italy and had, to this end, created the League of Cambrai (named after Cambrai, where the negotiations took place), an alliance against the Republic that included, besides himself, Louis XII of France, Emperor Maximilian I, and Ferdinand I of Spain.

paragraph: On 15 April 1509, King Louis XII of France left Milan at the head of a French army and moved rapidly into Venetian territory. To oppose him, Venice fielded an army under the command of Niccolò di Pitigliano and his cousin Bartolomeo d'Alviano (also a scion of the Orsini clan).

paragraph: Disagreements between Pitigliano and Alviano as the best way to stop the French advance prevented the two from uniting their forces to oppose the French. Consequently, when Louis crossed the Adda River in early May and Alviano advanced to meet him, Pitigliano, believing it best to avoid a pitched battle, moved away to the south.

paragraph: On 14 May, Alviano confronted the French at the Battle of Agnadello; outnumbered, he sent requests for reinforcements to his cousin, who replied with orders to break off the battle and continued on his way. Alviano, disregarding the new orders, continued the engagement; his army was eventually surrounded and destroyed.

paragraph: Pitigliano managed to avoid encountering Louis; but his mercenary troops, hearing of Alviano's defeat, had deserted in large numbers by the next morning, forcing him to retreat to Treviso with the remnants of the Venetian army.

paragraph: The Venetian collapse was complete; Louis proceeded to occupy Venetian territory as far east as Brescia without encountering any significant resistance. The major cities that had not been occupied by the French—Padua, Verona, and Vicenza—were left undefended by Pitigliano's withdrawal, and quickly surrendered to Maximilian when Imperial emissaries arrived in the Veneto.

paragraph: Julius, having in the meantime issued an interdict against Venice that excommunicated every citizen of the Republic, invaded the Romagna and seized Ravenna with the assistance of the Duke of Ferrara, who had joined the League and seized the Polesine for himself.

paragraph: The newly arrived Imperial governors, however, quickly proved to be unpopular. In mid-July, the citizens of Padua, aided by detachments of Venetian cavalry under the command of the proveditor Andrea Gritti, revolted; the landsknechts garrisoning the city were too few in number to mount effective resistance and Padua was restored to Venetian control on 17 July.

paragraph: The success of the revolt finally pushed Maximilian into action. In early August, a massive Imperial army, accompanied by bodies of French and Spanish troops, set out from Trento into the Veneto. Because of a lack of horses, as well as general disorganization, Maximilian's forces would not reach Padua until September, giving Pitigliano the time to concentrate such troops as were still available to him in the city. The Siege of Padua began on 15 September; although French and Imperial artillery successfully breached Padua's walls, the defenders managed to hold the city until Maximilian, growing impatient, lifted the siege on 30 September and withdrew to Tyrol with the main part of his army.

paragraph: In mid-November, Pitigliano returned to the offensive; Venetian troops easily defeated the remaining Imperial forces, capturing Vicenza, Este, Feltre, and Belluno. Although a subsequent attack on Verona failed, Pitigliano managed to destroy a Papal army under Francesco II of Gonzaga in the process.

paragraph: A river attack on Ferrara by the Venetian galley fleet under Angelo Trevisan failed, however, when the Venetian ships, anchored in the Po River, were sunk by Ferrarese artillery; and a new French advance soon forced Pitigliano to withdraw to Padua once again.

paragraph: The War of the League of Cambrai continued, but in January 1510 Niccolò di Pitigliano died in Lonigo. He was interred in the Basilica di San Giovanni e Paolo, a traditional burial place of the doges.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Niccolò di Pitigliano was married twice.

paragraph: Firstly, in 1467, to Elena dei Conti Montalcino (died in Nola in 1504), with nine children including:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Francesca (born 1469, died 1562), who married Don Sigismondo Carafa, Prince of Aliano in 1500

paragraph: BULLET::::- Ludovico (died 1534) who succeeded him as Count of Pitigliano.

paragraph: His connection with the Carafa family is shown by his presence in the "Dispute of St. Thomas" painted by Filippino Lippi in the Carafa Chapel, in the basilica of Santa Maria sopra Minerva, Rome.

paragraph: Secondly to Guglielmina, a commoner of humble birth, last attested to in a will of 1529.

paragraph: Nei Braz Lopes (born May 9, 1942 in Irajá, Rio de Janeiro) is a singer, composer, lawyer, writer and historian, working primarily with the Brazilian genre of samba and African-Brazilian studies.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Irajá in Rio de Janeiro (a traditional samba neighborhood which also brought us Zeca Pagodinho, among others), Nei Lopes graduated as an attorney at law from the University of Brazil, but at the start of the 70's abandoned his recently begun legal career to dedicate himself to music and literature. A professional composer since 1972, Nei Lopes became prominent especially through his partnership with Wilson Moreira and by their work, recorded by almost all interpreters of traditional samba. In the 80's, Nei, already acclaimed, was one of the supporters of the Pagode movement, which took samba back to the airwaves after an eclipse period.

paragraph: In the 90's, Nei started partnerships with people identified with the MPB label, such as composer Guinga and Zé Renato. He also has a song with Chico Buarque.

paragraph: Lucy Telles

paragraph: Lucy Parker Telles (ca. 1870/1885–1955/6) was a Mono Lake Paiute - Kucadikadi (Northern Paiute) and Southern Sierra Miwok (Yosemite Miwok) Native American basket weaver.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Lucy Telles was born near Mono Lake, in Mono County, California. Her Indian name was Pamahas, which translates to "Meadows" in the Northern Paiute language. Her parents were Louisa and Mack Tom. Her maternal grandparents were Mono Lake Paiute Captain Sam and Mono "Yosemite Paiute" Susie Sam. She and her family lived in Yosemite Valley and at Mono Lake. As a child, Telles played near Galen Clark's cabin. To supplement her family's income, she caught fish in the Valley to sell to hotel keepers.

paragraph: Telles' first husband was Jack Parker, a Paiute. In 1902 they had a son, Lloyd Parker, but shortly after he was born, Jack died. She later married John Telles, a Mexican-American from Texas. John worked as a truck driver and laborer for the Yosemite Park & Curry Company, and the couple lived in Yosemite Valley.

paragraph: Lucy Telles was one of a group of Mono-Paiute women that "became known for their exceedingly fine, visually stunning and complex polychrome baskets." Other basket weaving artists in this group included Nellie Charlie and Carrie Bethel.

paragraph: Section::::Art career.

paragraph: Telles, who learned basket weaving as a child, was well known for her fine basketry during her lifetime. Her innovations in basket weaving had a lasting influence on Yosemites weavers. While traditional Miwok baskets had one color, she used two colors per baskets. She created black from bracken fern root ("Pteridium aquilinum") and red from split redbud twigs. She created new basketry designs, some inspired by Plains Indian geometric beadwork. Lucy sold her baskets to Yosemite visitors.

paragraph: By the 1920s, Telles was regarded as the best basket weaver in Yosemite Valley. In 1924, she won a prize of $100 for her baskets. Her most famous basket was the largest known to have been woven in Yosemite Valley. It sold for $250 in 1939. An enormous basket with a 36" diameter that took her four years to weave took first prize at the 1933 World's Fair. In 1950, Telles raffled off this basket, her son won it, and the National Park Service purchased it for their Yosemite Museum.

paragraph: Lucy demonstrated basket making to park visitors from 1930 until her death in 1955 or 1956. She taught her grandson's wife, Julia Peter Parker (Kashaya Pomo) how to weave baskets. She was one of the most prolific California and Yosemite – Mono Lake Paiute basket makers. Several of her baskets are featured at the Yosemite National Park Indian museum.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Two of her baskets were part of an exhibition on the art of Yosemite which appeared at the Autry National Center, the Oakland Museum of California, the Nevada Museum of Art and the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art from 2006 to 2008. One of her baskets from the collection of the California Academy of Sciences, is currently on exhibit at the California Museum in Sacramento.
