<mask>n-ying (1895 in Inner Mongolia, China – 1984), was one of the most distinguished and revered martial artists of the twentieth century. He brought the Guang Ping Yang t'ai chi ch'uan to the United States. History

<mask>n-ying's father was a silk merchant, and the family was independently wealthy. As a youngster, <mask> reportedly had no interest in an academic education, wanting only to learn the fighting arts. In 1907, at the age of 12, <mask> started training in Northern Style Shaolin Kung-Fu, studying for five years with Master Li Lin, who was especially skilled in Chang Chuan (Long Fist). <mask> became proficient at this martial arts system, which was originally developed by Buddhist monks in China. His pushing hands training partner in Taiwan was Tchoung Ta-tchen.At 23, <mask> became one of only four inner-door disciples of Wang Jiao-yu, himself one of only two inner-door students of Yang Pan-hou. Yang Pan-hou was the son of the originator of what has become known as Guang Ping Yang t'ai chi ch'uan: Yang Luchan born Kuang-p'ing (Guangping) and known as the founder of Yang-style tai chi chuan. After completing "Chin to Toe" in 100 days <mask> was taught the Guang Ping Yang t'ai chi ch'uan from the 100-year-old master Wang Jiao-yu. <mask>, at age 28, studied Xingyiquan for two years with Master Huang Ginyin, a highly skilled student of Guo Yunshen, himself the teacher of Wang Xiangzhai, who was reputed to be the best Xingyiquan fighter of his time. <mask> also studied Baguazhang with Chang Hsin-zhai and Chung Ting-hua. Early career

<mask> Lien-ying reportedly was a bodyguard for a while on the gold caravans through China, protecting the caravans on horseback with his unrivaled rope-dart techniques. He allegedly became a governor of a province in China, and later a general in the army of Chiang Kai-shek.In 1947, after the Communist takeover, he fled to Taiwan, became a congressman and opened up a martial arts school. Although he left his four wives and eight children in China when he fled Mao Zedong, <mask> wooed and married the 21-year-old sister of one of his students, Ein Simmone <mask>. Kuo was so confident of his fighting skills that in 1951 he issued a challenge to world boxing champion Joe Louis, to meet him for a fight. In 1972 <mask> claimed to the San Francisco Chronicle, "I could have thrown him." 1

<mask> Lien-ying in America

In 1965, he immigrated to the United States and settled in San Francisco's Chinatown, leaving his young wife behind in Taiwan. At the request of his first U.S. student, David Chin, Kuo began teaching a few students on the roof of a local hotel. After less than a year, Kuo returned to Taiwan to bring Simmone <mask> to San Francisco.While he was in Taiwan, his students in San Francisco located an empty storefront at 11 Brenham Place, an alley which faced Portsmouth Square Park, which was unfortunately adjacent to a funeral parlor. The empty storefront was available due to the superstitions of the local residents who did not want to inhabit a place next to a mortuary. But according to one of his later students, Henry Look, Kuo often told him, "Don’t worry about dead people, worry about live ones." The students converted the storefront into a martial arts studio, with living quarters in the rear. Kuo named his new school, "Lien-Ying Tai-Chi Chuan Martial Arts Academy". In 1967 <mask> and Simmone had a son, <mask> Chung-mei. Chung-mei was trained in the Shaolin Kung Fu and T'ai chi ch'uan styles at an early age, achieving Chin-to-Toe at 18 months.<mask> was one of the major theorists of the Chin school, which offers the closest blend of the hard and soft styles. Chin stylists claim there is a 50-50 blend of the two because while you are yielding, you are most conscious of unyielding and that is the only way you can take advantage of all things.

Portsmouth Square, Chinatown

Reportedly, one of the stories that Kuo told his students was about the time he was walking in a Chinatown alley late one evening and was set upon by a group of robbers. <mask> reached down and picked up a piece of metal lying on the ground and with his bare hands pounded the spike into the brick wall of the nearest building, and then hung his jacket on the spike. The would-be robbers fled. With an uncanny sixth sense, Kuo knew when his students would sleep in, missing the 5 a.m. practice session, and he would call them up, shouting in Chinese into the telephone, "Lela, lela, t'ai chi, t'ai chi!" ("Practice, practice, t'ai chi, t'ai chi!")<mask> Lien-ying was among the first Chinese martial arts masters in America to teach Asian fighting arts to American students, and was often admonished by other Chinese teachers to not teach to Westerners. In 1975 Sam Peckinpah filmed part of The Killer Elite in Portsmouth Square, and hired <mask> Lien-ying and many of his students for the scenes of a martial arts school in San Francisco. <mask> and his students gave many demonstrations of T'ai chi ch'uan and Shaolin Kung-Fu at many locations, including schools and banks. In 1983, <mask> returned to Mongolia, and died in 1984. Followers

Simmone <mask>, <mask>'s widow and student, continues to teach privately at the Lien-Ying Tai-Chi Chuan Martial Arts Academy in San Francisco Chinatown (15A Walter U Lum Place, above the produce market) after retiring in 2016 from physical education teaching duties at San Francisco State University. Notable students of <mask> that were largely responsible for the transmission of the art include Masters Peter Kwok, Henry Look, and Y.C. Chiang.The founder of World Tai Chi and Qigong Day, Bill Douglas, carries on the form under the name Kuang Ping Yang Tai Chi Chuan, as passed down from <mask> Lien-ying to Gilles Messenger to Colin Berg, Anne Beier and Jennifer Booth, Bill's teacher. Guang Ping Yang Tai Chi Association

The Guang Ping Yang Tai Chi Association was formed in 1997 to honor the memory of Sifu <mask> Lien-ying and in commemoration of his unselfish sharing of his many skills. The mission of the Association is to promote, perpetuate, develop interest in, and preserve the quality of Guang Ping Yang style t'ai chi ch'uan throughout the world, and to provide support for research and education in Guang Ping Yang t'ai chi ch'uan. Honorary Chairmen: Y.C. Chiang, Henry Look
Past Presidents: Henry Look, Donald Rubbo, Nina Hopkins Sugawara, Nick D’Antoni, Dominick Ruggieri, Randy Elia, Lawrence Riddle, Lucy Bartimole, Grace Cheng, Valarie Prince Gabel

Current President: David Chosid

In Kuo's Honor

Every June, Kuo's direct students hold a memorial in Portsmouth Square, Chinatown, to pay respects to their late teacher, for the invaluable teachings he passed down to them, and for bringing the Guang Ping Yang t'ai chi ch'uan style to the United States of America. Books

<mask>,  (22 July 1931 – 12 August 2010) was a Maltese politician, who served as the sixth president of Malta from 1999 to 2004. A noted statesman and lawmaker, <mask> also served as Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of the Interior, Justice, and Minister for Foreign Affairs. He was elected President of the 45th session of the United Nations General Assembly in 1990, and Chairman of the Commonwealth Foundation in 2004. A renowned criminal lawyer, he defended some of the landmark cases in Malta during the 1980s. His sudden death in 2010 shocked the nation and prompted three days of national mourning and a state funeral. Early life and family
<mask> was born in Valletta to Emanuele and Giovanna (née Raniolo) <mask>. He was educated at St. Joseph High School, St. Aloysius' College and the University of Malta.He obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy, Economics and Italian in 1952, becoming a Doctor of Laws in 1955. <mask> and his future wife, Violet Saliba, met as students. He proposed to her on February 5, 1951, as he walked her home from Valletta to Pietà. <mask> and Violet Saliba married in 1956; the couple had three children: Giannella, Fiorella and Mario. Mario, who served as parliamentary secretary for tourism at the time of his father's death, said he was a family man who devoted time to his children and grandchildren. Political career

In 1962, <mask> resigned his position at the Attorney General's Office, entering the political arena - later to contest a general election. The successful criminal lawyer would henceforth dedicate much of his life to the Nationalist and Maltese cause.He became a lecturer, and later a professor of criminal law at the University of Malta. His political career began with his election to the House of Representatives in 1966. He was returned to Parliament at every general election he contested up to 1998. He was appointed secretary general of the Nationalist party in 1972 and became the party's deputy leader in 1977. He was elected as a representative at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe of 1967, remaining a member for almost twenty years. During his career as Minister for the Interior and Justice, <mask>'s efforts led to the integration into domestic law of important international conventions, particularly the European Convention on Human Rights. As Minister for the Interior, he pioneered the reforms and modernisations in the Police Force, being instrumental in the founding of the Police Academy.As Minister for Foreign Affairs he submitted Malta's application for membership of the European Communities. It was one of his first acts as Minister for Foreign Affairs, occurring on 16 July 1990. He was a major player in the consolidation of Malta's contributions to international organisations, including the United Nations, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, the Council of Europe and the Commonwealth of Nations. In 1990 he also served as President of the United Nations General Assembly. Presidency

On 4 April 1999, <mask> was appointed President of Malta. He led his country into the European Union in 2004. He became an honorary doctor at St. Petersburg State University in 2004 "for achievements in science and politics, in particular, for his efforts to integrate Malta into the EU."Declining health and death
On 5 August 2010, <mask> underwent an angioplasty to widen an obstructed heart artery. The intervention developed complications which led him to a critical, but stable condition. A series of medical bulletins were issued immediately by the medical team at Mater Dei Hospital, stating that <mask> was responding to treatment and showing signs of improvement. His condition continued to improve by the hour, to the extent of being taken off life-support machines. Five days later he was discharged from Mater Dei Hospital, but monitored closely by the medical team. On 12 August 2010, <mask> gave an interview with Maltese newspaper The Times of Malta, in which he said: "When I came round from the coma I no longer felt I was going to die. I felt I was going to remain.I'm here to stay ... for now at least." However, in the afternoon, <mask> was rushed to Mater Dei Hospital once more, after collapsing in his home in Sliema. He died at the hospital. The news of his death shocked the nation, which was at the moment relieved with the previous improvement in his condition. The government declared three days of national mourning. A state funeral was held on Monday, August 16, 2010. Messages of solidarity and expressions of sorrow were issued immediately by the President of the Republic, the Nationalist Party, the Labour Party, as well as from other entities and the diplomatic corps.The Maltese prime minister Lawrence Gonzi, interrupted his vacation to return to the island. Gonzi declared that "Malta lost one of the most prominent politicians in recent times. He was fundamental for the country's independence, contributed to strengthening democracy, served very important roles in strengthening our country's international relations and occupied important roles in the United Nations. His Presidency has united the country." Opposition leader Joseph Muscat called the death "a national loss." Edward Fenech Adami, <mask>'s successor as President of Malta, was said to be "shaken" by the news, hailing <mask> as "a protagonist in the past forty to fifty years of Maltese history." Fenech Adami's successor, George Abela, President of Malta at the time of <mask>'s death, added that "Academically, [<mask> <mask>] definitely excelled," calling him a "jovial person...[who]...sang along throughout the recent Joseph Calleja concert."Abela expressed his condolences personally to the <mask> family at Mater Dei Hospital. Tributes flowed into Malta from abroad. President of the European Parliament Jerzy Buzek called him "a highly respected politician and statesman ... who was deeply respected all over Europe." Former Libyan ambassador to Malta Saad Elshlmani said "On a personal level he was more than just a friend," adding that "people in the Middle East will remember him for his great attachment to the issues of tolerance, cooperation and friendship." United States ambassador Douglas Kmiec also issued a statement: "His tenure as President of the United Nations General Assembly, and his skill and perseverance in guiding Malta to EU membership are great tributes to his statesmanship." His funeral took place on 16 August 2010, attended by dignitaries, including Kuwaiti Prime Minister Nasser Mohammed Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah, the widow of Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat, Suha Arafat, Italian Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs, Vincenzo Scotti, and several ambassadors.

<mask> (pen name, L'Inconnue (The Unknown); March 16, 1825 – March 31, 1881) was a 19th-century American author from Virginia. Her blank verse was considered especially strong, and her themes were well chosen, mostly in their measure. French belonged to a cultured and wealthy family. Educated at Washington, Pennsylvania, she moved to Memphis, Tennessee where she lived until her marriage in 1853, to <mask>, living after this at "Forest Home," near McMinnville, Tennessee. Her first volume of poems, "Wind Whispers," appeared in 1856. She wrote "Tecumseh's Foot," "The Great River," "The Lyre of Time," "The Palmetto and the Pine," "The Years," "Mammy," "Liberty Bells," and other poems, besides several novels and dramas. She took a keen interest in the political questions of the day and wrote about them.Her first novel, "My Roses," appeared in 1872, and her last one, "Darlingtonia," in 1879. Between the years 1856 and 1879, she was actively engaged as literary editor of a number of magazines and newspapers. She wrote under the name L'Inconnue (the unknown). Among her friends were James Russell Lowell, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., John Greenleaf Whittier, and William Cullen Bryant. Early years

<mask> Smith was born March 16, 1825 in Accomack County, Virginia. Her parents were Mease W. Smith and Elizabeth Parker. She was named for the state where she was born.Her parents belonged to cultured and wealthy families. Her mother, also a Virginian, and a relative of Gov. Henry A. Wise, was Miss Elizabeth Parker. Her grandfather, Col. Thomas Parker, was a wealthy merchant in the East Indian and the South American trade, but was better known as "Fighting Tom" Parker, having served as a cavalry officer of the American Revolutionary War. Her father, Mease W. Smith, was at one time president of Washington College, Virginia (now Washington and Lee University). He had previously held the chair of Greek and Latin in that institution.He also filled the office of chancellor of Virginia, and was prominent as an educator and as a lawyer. By the early death of her mother, the child was left to the care of her grandparents. She and her younger sister were sent to Washington, Pennsylvania, for their education, and after their graduation from Mrs. Hannah's School, they returned to their father's home on the eastern shore of Virginia. But their father had married again, and a new influence had entered into the old home. Virginia soon decided that she wanted to leave. It was not long afterwards that she and her young sister Lide (later, Mrs. Meriwether) moved to Tennessee. Career
French and her sister became teacher in Memphis, in the 1840s.In 1849, under the name of L'Inconnuehe, French wrote for the Louisville Journal, of which George D. Prentice was editor, and many of her poems, songs and legends first appeared in its columns. Her friends at that time were Lowell, Longfellow, Emerson, Holmes, Realf, Bryant, and Whittier. In 1852, she became the editor of Southern Ladies Book, continuing till the following year. French was a versatile writer. Besides many poems, she was the author of several novels and dramas of literary merit. She  also had an interest in the political questions of her day. During the American Civil War, she favored preserving the Union, and pleaded earnestly for restoration.Throughout the remaining years of her life, she wrote, worked, and prayed for reconciliation. Though the North was the home of her early childhood, the South was her birthplace and the home of her maturer years. Two poems which illustrate French's freedom from political and sectional prejudice are "Shermanized," and "The Palmetto and the Pine." The first was written just after Sherman's march to the sea; the latter appeared in 1876, in the Saturday Evening Post, of which William Cullen Bryant was then editor, and was a direct rebuke to a memorable congressional speech of the Hon. James G. Blaine, whom she had known from her girlhood. "Shermanized" is well remembered throughout the South; "like the flash of the yataghan from a velvet sheath," was the comment of a noted writer, who admired the spirit of the poem and of the author. "The Palmetto and the Pine" was reproduced with illustrations in the July 1899 number of The American Illustrated Methodist Magazine, while another poem, "Mammy," a home picture of the South before the war, appeared in the February 1900 issue."Liberty Bells," written in 1876, was characteristic of the spirit of unity which was the theme of many of French's later poems. French's first volume of poems, "Wind Whispers," appeared in 1856, followed the same year by a tragedy in five acts, "Istalilxo, the Lady of Tula," the scene of which was laid in Mexico before its conquest by Cortez. Between the years 1856 and 1879, French was actively engaged as literary editor of a number of magazines and newspapers. In 1872, her first novel, "My Roses," was published, and in 1879 her last novel, "Darlingtonia," appeared serially in the Detroit Free Press. Personal life
A poem entitled "The Lost Louisiana," which appeared in one of the New Orleans dailies, proved to be the precursor of French's marriage. John Hopkins <mask>, standing in front of the St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, was approached by a newsboy selling the morning papers: "All about the lost 'Louisiana'!" the boy shouted.Mr. <mask>'s interest was aroused by the words "lost Louisiana." Some years before, he had been a passenger on the steamboat, "Belle of Clarksville," and had nearly died in a collision between that steamer and the "Louisiana." Besides the detailed account of the accident, the paper contained the story of the accident in verse. The poem was signed "L'Inconnue." The beauty of the verses and the name "L'Inconnue," which was already well known throughout the South, added to Mr. <mask>'s personal interest in the theme, that he clipped the poem from the paper and placed it in his wallet. Not long after, Mr. <mask> was a passenger on a steamer. A poem in a newspaper he found on board had a strange interest for him.It was entitled "One or Two? ", and the author was L'Inconnue. "Sweet, simple and musical," he thought; so different from the majestic nature of "The Lost Louisiana," still in his wallet. On the impulse of the moment, he said to himself: "I will quit this boat at Memphis. I will see L'Inconnue, and I will ask her if we shall be "One or Two?" On the day after his arrival at Memphis, while making some purchases in a bookstore, a young woman entered and bought a magazine. Mr. French was attracted by her looks, and after she walked out, he asked the salesman the name of the customer."Miss <mask> Smith," the clerk replied. Mr. <mask> was surprised as he had just seen L'Inconnue. They married on January 12, 1853, in the Episcopal Church. After an extended honeymoon, the pair returned to Tennessee, and resided at "Forest Home," near McMinnville, Tennessee, the homestead of the French family. Although her health had been frail for several months, her last illness was short. She died March 31, 1881 at "Forest Home", near McMinnville. Selected works

<mask> (July 3, 1913 – November 8, 1965) was an American columnist, journalist, and television game show panelist. After spending two semesters at the College of New Rochelle, she started her career shortly before her 18th birthday as a reporter for the Hearst Corporation's New York Evening Journal. In 1938, she began her newspaper column "The Voice of Broadway", which was eventually syndicated to more than 140 papers. In 1950, she became a regular panelist on the television game show What's My Line?, continuing in the role until her death. Kilgallen's columns featured mostly show business news and gossip, but also ventured into other topics, such as politics and organized crime. She wrote front-page articles for multiple newspapers on the Sam Sheppard trial and, years later, events related to the John F. Kennedy assassination, such as testimony by Jack Ruby. Early life and career
Kilgallen was born in Chicago, the daughter of newspaper reporter <mask> (1888–1982) and his wife, Mae Ahern (1888–1985).She was of Irish descent, and was a Catholic. <mask> had a sister, Eleanor (1919–2014), who was six years her junior. The family moved to various regions of the United States until 1920, when the International News Service hired <mask> as a roving correspondent based in New York City. The family settled in Brooklyn, New York. <mask> was a student at Erasmus Hall High School. After completing two semesters at The College of New Rochelle, she dropped out to take a job as a reporter for the New York Evening Journal. The newspaper was owned and operated by the Hearst Corporation, which also owned International News Service, her father's employer.In 1936 Kilgallen competed with two other New York newspaper reporters in a race around the world using only means of transportation available to the general public. She was the only woman to compete in the contest and came in second. She described the event in her book Girl Around The World, which is credited as the story idea for the 1937 movie Fly-Away Baby starring Glenda Farrell as a character partly inspired by Kilgallen. In November 1938, Kilgallen began writing a daily column, the "Voice of Broadway," for Hearst's New York Journal-American, which the corporation created by merging the Evening Journal with the American. The column, which she wrote until her death in 1965, featured mostly New York show business news and gossip, but also ventured into other topics such as politics and organized crime. The column eventually was syndicated to 146 newspapers via King Features Syndicate. Its success motivated Kilgallen to move her parents and Eleanor from Brooklyn to Manhattan, where she continued to live with them until she got married.On April 6, 1940, Kilgallen married Richard Kollmar, a musical comedy actor and singer who had starred in the Broadway show Knickerbocker Holiday and was performing, at the time of their wedding, in the Broadway cast of Too Many Girls. They had three children: Richard "Dickie" (b. 1941), Jill (b. 1943), and Kerry Kollmar (b. 1954), and remained married until Kilgallen's death. Early in their marriage, Kilgallen and Kollmar both launched careers in network radio. Kilgallen ran her radio program Voice of Broadway, which was broadcast on CBS during World War II, and Kollmar worked a long stint in the nationally syndicated crime drama in which he played Boston Blackie.Beginning in April 1945, <mask> and Kollmar co-hosted a WOR-AM radio talk show, Breakfast With Dorothy and Dick, from their 16-room apartment at 640 Park Avenue. The show followed them when they bought a neo-Georgian townhouse at 45 East 68th Street in 1952. The radio program, like Kilgallen's newspaper column, mixed entertainment with serious issues. <mask> and Kollmar continued doing the show from their home until 1963, long after the terminations of other radio shows on which each had worked without the other. Frank Sinatra feud
Though Kilgallen and Frank Sinatra were fairly good friends for several years and were photographed rehearsing in a radio studio for a 1948 broadcast, they had a falling out after she wrote a multipart 1956 front-page feature story titled "The Frank Sinatra Story." In addition to the New York Journal-American, Hearst-owned newspapers across the United States ran the story. Thereafter Sinatra made derogatory comments about Kilgallen's physical appearance to his audiences at nightclubs in New York and Las Vegas, though he stopped short of mentioning her name on television or during interviews for magazines and newspapers.Sam Sheppard murder trial
Kilgallen covered the 1954 murder trial of Sam Sheppard, a doctor convicted of killing his wife at their home in the Cleveland suburb of Bay Village. The New York Journal-American carried the banner front-page headline that Kilgallen was "astounded" by the guilty verdict because of what she argued were serious flaws in the prosecution's case. At the time of the Cleveland jury's guilty verdict in December 1954, Kilgallen's sharp criticism of it was controversial and a Cleveland newspaper dropped her column in response. Her articles and columns in 1954 did not reveal all she had witnessed in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas. Nine years after the verdict and sentence, and after the judge had died, she claimed at an event held at the Overseas Press Club in New York that the judge had told her before the start of jury selection that Sheppard was "guilty as hell". Attorney F. Lee Bailey, who was working on a habeas corpus petition for his client Sheppard, attended the Overseas Press Club event, heard what Kilgallen told the crowd, and then asked her privately if she would help him. "Some days later," as Bailey wrote in his memoir The Defense Never Rests, "we obtained a deposition from <mask> that was inserted into the petition submitted to" Carl Andrew Weinman, judge for the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.Bailey also included in the habeas corpus petition a statement from Edward Murray, who had worked in 1954 as a court clerk at the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas. Similar to <mask>'s statement, Murray's statement indicated that Edward J. Blythin, the original Sheppard judge, had said that Sheppard was guilty even before the grand jury indicted him on August 17, 1954. In July 1964, four months after the Overseas Press Club event where Kilgallen broke her silence about the deceased Judge Blythin, Judge Weinman of the federal court granted Bailey's habeas corpus petition, Sam Sheppard was released from prison amid much newspaper publicity, and Sheppard met Kilgallen at a "late-night champagne party" (as described by Bailey in The Defense Never Rests) in Cleveland. After <mask>'s death, Sheppard was retried and acquitted. Kennedy assassination
Kilgallen was publicly skeptical of the conclusions of the Warren Commission's report about the assassination of President Kennedy and Jack Ruby's shooting of Lee Oswald, and she wrote several newspaper articles on the subject. On February 23, 1964, she published an article in the New York Journal-American about a conversation she had with Jack Ruby, when he was at his defense table during a recess in his murder trial. She also obtained a copy of Ruby's June 7, 1964, testimony to the Warren Commission, which she published in August 1964 in three installments on the front pages of the New York Journal-American, The Philadelphia Inquirer, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and other newspapers.What's My Line? Kilgallen became a panelist on the American television game show What's My Line? on its first broadcast, which aired live on February 2, 1950. The series was telecast from New York City on the CBS television network until 1967. She remained on the show for 15 years (until her death). Beginning in 1959, the series was not always telecast live. Goodson Todman Productions used videotape, a recent invention.In 1961, producers were able to stockpile enough videotaped episodes so that <mask>, Arlene Francis, Bennett Cerf, and John Charles Daly could take their first long summer vacation. In 1965, they returned from another long summer vacation to do a live telecast on September 12. It was followed by eight consecutive Sunday nights when Kilgallen appeared live, the last of them being November 7, just before her death. Death

On November 8, 1965, Kilgallen was found dead in her Manhattan townhouse located at 45 East 68th Street. Her death was determined to have been caused by a combination of alcohol and barbiturates. Regarding whether it was a suicide or accidental death, New York City medical examiner James Luke's report stated, "acute ethanol and barbiturate intoxication, circumstances undetermined". Her funeral mass took place on November 11 at St. Vincent Ferrer; John Daly, Arlene Francis, Betty White, Ed Sullivan, Joseph E. Levine, and Bob Considine were among the 2,600 people attending.She was interred at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Hawthorne, New York, in Westchester County. Legacy
In 1960, Kilgallen was one of the initial 500 persons chosen to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. On the What's My Line? telecast of November 14, 1965, To Tell the Truth regular panelist Kitty Carlisle, who had been a guest panelist on three previous episodes of What's My Line?, filled in for Kilgallen. Carlisle said on-camera that although she was occupying Kilgallen's seat, "no one could ever possibly take her place." In a 1996 memoir, Kilgallen's colleague and friend Theo Wilson wrote that her work as a crime reporter was often overlooked during her lifetime and was forgotten after her death:
Part of being a good reporter is to be anonymous, to stay out of the story so that you can better watch and study and listen to the principals. She couldn't do that, mostly because people wouldn't let her.She'd walk into a trial and the prosecutor would ask for her autograph for his wife or the judge would send out greetings. Filmography

Major General <mask>, 1st Baronet  (25 March 1783 – 26 February 1843) was a British officer in the Royal Engineers who played a leading engineering role in a number of European campaigns of the early nineteenth century. <mask> was revered by the Duke of Wellington and asked to advise on fortifications including the modernisation of the defences in Gibraltar. He was also notable as an English amateur cricketer who made six first-class appearances. Biography
Sir <mask> was eldest of five sons of <mask>, esq., general superintendent at Landguard Fort, Felixstowe, Suffolk, and of Cranmer Hall, Fakenham, Norfolk, by his wife Mary, daughter of <mask> of the 29th foot. He was born at Landguard Fort on 25 March 1783. Sir <mask> was his brother. He was educated at the grammar school at Ipswich, joined the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich in the spring of 1797, received a commission as second lieutenant in the Royal Engineers on 30 August 1798, and embarked in October for Gibraltar.<mask> advised on improvements for Gibraltar's fortifications including Parson's Lodge Battery and Wellington Front. He was appointed adjutant of the corps, and remained at Gibraltar four years. While at Gibraltar he was employed on the defences of the north front and in constructing the famous galleries; he also studied seriously, and became a good French and Spanish scholar. He was promoted lieutenant on 14 September 1800 and in 1803 he returned to England. There he was employed on the eastern coast in constructing defence works to oppose the threatened invasion, and in the following year in throwing up field-works from Widford to Galleywood Common (known as the Chelmsford lines), to cover London on that side. Malta, Naples, Sicily
On 1 March 1805 <mask> was promoted second captain, and soon after embarked at Portsmouth with the expedition under Sir James Craig. After some months' cruising the troops were disembarked in July at Malta, where <mask> did garrison duty till the autumn.He then accompanied the expedition to Naples, and was detached with the commanding engineer to Calabria to retrench a position at Sapri for covering a re-embarkation. From Naples the troops sailed for Sicily, and, on the dethronement of the king, garrisoned Messina and Milazzo. <mask> was employed under Major Lefebure in constructing works of defence. In the spring of 1806 <mask> reported, under confidential instructions from the king of Naples, on the forts, harbours, and military condition of Sicily. His work was appreciated by the Neapolitan government, and was commended by Sir <mask>. In June 1806 <mask> embarked at Messina with a force under Sir <mask>, which landed in the bay of St. Euphemia. He was present at the battle of Maida, and marched with an advanced corps under General Oswald to sweep off the French detachments between Monteleone and Reggio, and to reduce .The castle was so ably defended that its capture required all the formalities of a siege. <mask> directed the attack with much credit, and after the capture of the castle persuaded Stuart to retain and strengthen it instead of blowing it up. <mask> carried out this work so successfully that it was held until February 1808, proving during that time an invincible bar to the invasion of Sicily. When it was reduced to ruins by the French, the garrison was withdrawn in boats, without the loss of a single man, by means of a covered gallery constructed by <mask>. <mask> always considered the retention of Scylla the most meritorious effort of his professional life. In December 1806 <mask> returned to England, visiting Algiers on the way, and on 1 January 1807 was appointed adjutant at Woolwich (the headquarters) of the royal military artificers. The increasing demand of the war necessitated the augmentation of the local and independent companies of engineer workmen, and <mask> was occupied till the following year in reorganising them into one regular corps.Spain
In July 1808 Major Lefebure and <mask> were selected to serve as the two assistant-commissioners under General Leith, appointed military and semi-diplomatic agent to the junta of the northern provinces of Spain. <mask> was attached to the army of the Marquis de la Romana, and conceived a great affection for its commander. Towards the end of the year Leith was ordered to take command of a brigade and to select an officer to succeed him as commissioner. Leith offered to appoint <mask>, but <mask> declined, although the high rate of pay was tempting, on the ground that his youth and want of rank would deprive his advice of its proper weight, and he asked instead to join the army. Leith at once appointed him his acting aide-de-camp. <mask> continued to act in this capacity until after the skirmish in front of Lugo, when he was ordered, as an engineer officer, to assist in blowing up the bridge over the Tamboya, and was employed with his own corps during the retreat to Corunna. On his arrival in England <mask> resumed his staff appointment at Woolwich, and on 24 June 1809 was promoted first captain.On the 9th of the following month he was appointed brigade-major to the engineers under Brigadier-General Fyers, to accompany the expedition under the Earl of Chatham to Walcheren. Zeeland
<mask> acted throughout the operations in Zeeland as chief of the engineers' staff, and in that capacity carried out all the arrangements for the attack of Rammekins and Flushing. After the capitulation of Flushing <mask> remained until the defences had been repaired and strengthened, and then returned to England, where he was appointed to command the engineers in the northern district. Portugal
In March 1810 <mask> was ordered to embark for Lisbon, where he was employed under Colonel (afterwards Sir) Richard Fletcher on the lines of Torres Vedras. In June Fletcher joined the headquarters of the army at Celerico, and <mask> was appointed commanding engineer in the south of Portugal, and entrusted with the completion of the works to cover Lisbon from the threatened invasion of the French under Massena. The memoranda by <mask> relative to these defences (printed for private circulation) form a most valuable military work, fully describing the various field-works forming the lines of Torres Vedras. All the arrangements for manning the works and placing the troops had been so well made by <mask> that the several points were occupied as quickly and with as much regularity as if the troops had been re-entering their cantonments from a review.On 17 November 1810 <mask> was appointed brigade-major of engineers in the Peninsular, and was attached to the headquarters' staff, the details of the engineers' service in all parts of the Peninsular passing through his hands. <mask> held the appointment until May 1812, and was employed at all the sieges undertaken during that period. For his conduct during the operations against Ciudad Rodrigo he was particularly mentioned by Wellington in his despatches, and in consequence was gazetted brevet-major on 6 February 1812. At the siege of Badajoz Fletcher, the commanding engineer, was wounded, but at the express wish of Wellington retained his command, and the active duties therefore devolved upon <mask>, his staff officer. In the assault of Fort Picuriaz <mask> saved the life of Captain Holloway of the engineers, who had been shot down on the parapet and fell onto the fraise. For his exertions at the siege <mask> was gazetted on 27 April 1812 brevet lieutenant-colonel, and he thereupon resigned his appointment as brigade-major. East Spain
When it was determined to carry on operations on the eastern coast of Spain, <mask> was appointed commanding engineer under General Maitland, and sailed from Lisbon in the beginning of June.On the disembarkation of the troops at Alicante, <mask> received an appointment on the staff as assistant quartermaster-general, there being already an engineer officer senior to himself in command of the engineers. Owing to differences between the commanders of the allied forces, <mask> was sent on a special mission to Madrid, to explain to Wellington the position of affairs. Travelling by night and avoiding roads, <mask> reached Madrid safely, and was warmly received by Wellington, who, sending instructions by a courier, kept <mask> to accompany him to the north to the siege of Burgos. During the progress of that siege, <mask> was instructed to signal to Wellington by holding up his hat when the arrangements for exploding a mine and making a lodgment were complete. As the signal was not acknowledged, <mask> repeated it until the French perceived him, and their fire brought him down with a bullet through his ankle. He with difficulty rolled himself into the parallel, but he ordered the mine to be fired, and the operations entrusted to him were successfully carried out before he left the field. <mask> remained in a state of delirium for ten days, and as soon as he could be moved Wellington sent him to Lisbon in the only spring wagon at headquarters.The sufferings of this two months' journey severely tried his strength, and he remained in Lisbon until April 1813, when he was sent to England. Eighteen months of severe suffering followed. During this period he composed and published a volume entitled Journal of Sieges carried on by the Allies in Spain in 1810, 1811, and 1812. In this work he fearlessly exposed the deficiencies of the engineer service, which he attributed to the ignorance and military incapacity of the board of ordnance. These strictures naturally offended the dispensers of patronage. Wellington, however, although the book was published without his sanction, and sharply criticised his siege proceedings, praised it, and remained the author's friend. Netherlands
In 1814 <mask> visited the Netherlands, examined the principal fortresses, and afterwards met Wellington at Paris.Wellington told him that he had appointed him, with Brigadier-general (afterwards Sir) Alexander Bryce and another engineer officer, to report on the system of defence for the new kingdom of the Netherlands. The commissioners arrived in Brussels 21 March 1815. On 4 June 1815 <mask> was made a C.B. On the appointment of Wellington to the command in the Netherlands, <mask> accompanied him round some of the principal points of defence. At the end of August the reports of the commission were taken to Paris by Bryce and <mask> and submitted to Wellington, with whom all details were settled by March 1816, when the commission was broken up. <mask> was then selected to be Wellington's medium of communication with the Netherlands government for the furtherance of the objects of the report. In the previous December <mask>, with Colonel Williamson of the artillery, acting as commissioners of the allied sovereigns, prevented the fortress of Charlemont from falling into the hands of the Prussians.The commissioners then took possession of Landrecy for the allies, and returned to Paris in January 1816. In November 1816 a convention founded on the treaty of Paris was signed between England and the Netherlands, empowering Wellington to dispose of a fund of six millions and a half in constructing defensive works for the protection of the Netherlands, and to delegate his powers to as many inspectors as he pleased. The duke named <mask> to be sole inspector, and persevered in this choice in spite of strong pressure on behalf of a superior officer. <mask>'s duty was to make periodical inspections of each fortress, to superintend the execution of the approved plans, sanction modifications, and check expenditure. Wellington generally made two inspections of some weeks annually, when he was always attended by <mask> alone, and became very intimate with him. On the return to England of the army of occupation, <mask>, who became a regimental lieutenant-colonel on 11 November 1816, was appointed to the command of the royal engineers and royal sappers and miners at Woolwich, and to the charge of the powder factories, while still acting as inspector in the Netherlands. In 1823 <mask> was sent by Wellington to the Ionian Islands to confer with the high commissioner, Sir <mask>, respecting the defences of Corfu.His plans were approved and gradually carried out. On 27 May 1825 <mask> was appointed aide-de-camp to the king, with the rank of colonel in the army. On 19 August 1830 Wellington sent him on a special mission to the Netherlands with a view to any military arrangements advisable on account of the recent revolution in France. At Ghent <mask> heard of the rising in Brussels, went to the king of the Netherlands at the Hague, and at the king's request joined the Dutch army and the Prince of Orange at Antwerp. By his advice the prince went to Brussels, where he had a good military position and sufficient force to maintain himself. Two hours after <mask> had left Brussels for London to report on his mission the prince retired to the Hague, thus abandoning his advantages and determining the subsequent course of the revolution. On 30 September 1831 <mask> was created a baronet for his services in the Netherlands.In congratulating him upon the honour conferred on him, Wellington suggested a castle with the word 'Netherlands' as an addition to his armorial bearings. From 1835 to 1838 <mask>'s health compelled him to live in a southern climate. He was promoted major-general <mask> <mask> on 10 January 1837, and in 1838 he was made a K.C.B. Great Britain
In the summer of 1839 <mask> was requested by the master-general of the ordnance to revise and digest the projects of defence for British coasts and harbours, and in the spring of 1840 was a member of a commission upon the defences of the colonies. He next undertook at the request of government to lay down a general scheme of defence for Great Britain. In the beginning of October 1840 major-general <mask> <mask> was sent to Gibraltar to report on the defences of the fortress. <mask> advised on improvements for Gibraltar's fortifications including Parson's Lodge Battery and Wellington Front.He remained there as major-general on the staff till June 1841, when he returned to England. His proposals for the improvement of the defences of Gibraltar were approved and gradually carried out. <mask> advised on improvements such as those made to Parson's Lodge Battery where his advice caused eight guns to be installed in 1842. <mask> also devised that new batteries should be sighted high above the Gibraltar Harbour that could take advantage of the increased height of the rock. One of these "retired batteries" was named <mask>' Battery after him. He died, after a day's illness, on 25 Feb. 1843, at his residence, Pittville, Cheltenham. Appreciation
According to the Dictionary of National Biography, <mask> may be ranked among the first military engineers of his day.He possessed talents of the highest order; great mathematical knowledge, coupled with sound judgment and deep reflection. He was present at six sieges, and at five of them acted as brigade-major, and his intimate knowledge of the details of these operations gives great value to his published works on them. His reputation as a military engineer was not confined to his own country. A statue by Mr. Behnes was erected to his memory in the south transept of St. Paul's Cathedral by the officers of the corps of royal engineers. <mask> was mainly associated with Middlesex. He made six known appearances in first-class matches from 1814 to 1819. Family
On 20 April 1816 <mask> married, in London, Catherine Maria, daughter of Effingham Lawrence of New York City.He had three sons and a daughter. His eldest son, Sir Lawrence, was murdered by robbers on 7 November 1845 when travelling between Macri and Smyrna, and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his brother Willoughby, who died in 1884, and whose eldest son, Lawrence, born in 1857, was the fourth baronet.

<mask> (née Waldroop; born July 3, 1966), known professionally as <mask>,  is an American television chef and author. She is known for her "Semi-Homemade" cooking concept, which <mask> describes as using 70 percent pre-packaged products and 30 percent fresh items. She received the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lifestyle/Culinary Show Host in 2012 for her work and her show. As the partner of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, she served as New York's de facto First Lady from 2011 to 2019, when the couple ended their relationship. Early life
<mask> was born in Santa Monica, California, in 1966, the daughter of Vicky Svitak and Wayne Waldroop, who had been  high-school sweethearts. When <mask> was two, her mother sent her, along with her younger sister, Cindy, to live with their paternal grandmother, Lorraine Waldroop. In 1972, after divorcing Wayne, <mask>'s mother moved with her girls to Sumner, Washington, where they acquired a new stepfather, whose last name (Christiansen) <mask> took.Vicky had three additional children in the 1970s: Kimber, Richie, and John Paul. Due to her mother's illness and the absence of her and her siblings' fathers, <mask> effectively raised her four younger siblings. In her youth, <mask> learned how to feed her younger siblings frugally with a combination of food stamps and welfare payments, an experience that informed her future approach to cooking. <mask> attended Onalaska High School, in Onalaska, Wisconsin, and attended the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. <mask> claims her family is Catholic. She was initially raised as a Seventh-day Adventist, but her family later became Jehovah's Witness. In December of her junior year, she left college to live near family in Malibu, California.She later attended a two-week recreational course at Le Cordon Bleu in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Career
In the early 1990s, <mask> created a product called "Sandra Lee Kraft Kurtains," a home-decorating kit designed to turn a wire rack and sheets, or other spare fabric, into decorative drapery. It was sold via infomercials and cable shopping networks. Home-shopping network QVC hired her as on-air talent. In her first 18 months, <mask> sold $20 million worth of merchandise. QVC also selected <mask> to launch its craft and home decorating categories on its networks in the U.K. and Germany. In 1994, she released her first DIY home improvement video series, which sold more than a million copies.Semi-Homemade Cooking with <mask> premiered on the Food Network in 2003. The show ran for 15 seasons and was in the top three new weekend shows on the network for its first five years. Each episode contains entertaining and arts and crafts elements, in which <mask> decorates the table setting and kitchen in accordance with the theme of the meal that she just prepared. She refers to these as "tablescapes", a term she coined. <mask>'s second Food Network series, <mask>'s Money Saving Meals, began airing on May 10, 2009, in response to the Great Recession. At the time, she was the only host on the Food Network with two cooking series running concurrently. Kurt Soller, writing for Newsweek, described her as "among TV's most successful female chefs"., her shows have aired in 63 countries. She has authored 27 books, including Sandra <mask> Semi-Homemade: Cool Kids Cooking (October 2006) and a memoir, Made From Scratch, which was released in November 2007. Her book Semi-Homemade Cooking appeared on The New York Times Best Seller list. A magazine based on her show, Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade, was released in 2009. In late 2009, <mask> hosted <mask> Celebrates, a series of four one-hour specials that aired on HGTV. In 2012, <mask> won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lifestyle/Culinary Host for Semi-Homemade Cooking. Also in 2012, she started a monthly lifestyle magazine, <mask> Lee, in partnership with TV Guide.She is also starring in two new shows: <mask>'s Restaurant Remakes and <mask>'s Taverns, Lounges & Clubs. People magazine has included her in its list of "Most Beautiful" people multiple times. In early 2020, <mask> began creating her "Top Shelf" video series for Today.com, showcasing new ways to make meals from products commonly found in pantries. An April 2020 New York Times article authored by Jessica Bennett called <mask> "the queen of making something out of nothing". In late 2020, <mask> hosted a series of holiday segments, "It's a Wonderful Lifetime", on Lifetime. Documentaries
In 2015, shortly before being diagnosed with cancer, <mask> started her own production company. She created Rx: Early Detection – A Cancer Journey With <mask>, a documentary about her experiences with cancer, which aired on HBO.The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2018, at the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival, and on HBO in October 2018. <mask> received the Made in New York Award at the Gotham Independent Film Awards in November 2018 for her work on the documentary. <mask> co-executive produced Ruth: Justice Ginsburg in Her Own Words, a documentary about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, in collaboration with Academy Award-winning director Freida <mask>, Geralyn Dreyfous, and others. It premiered on Starz in March 2021 as part of the network's Women's History Month programming. Philanthropy

<mask> co-founded the Los Angeles chapter of UNICEF in 2000. She donated the proceeds from her second cookbook to God's Love We Deliver and Project Angel Food, two organizations that deliver food to homebound individuals. In 2015, she led a UNICEF team on a mission to Haiti in her role as a special nutrition emissary for the organization.The U.S. division of the UN's World Food Program, the world's largest humanitarian organization, appointed <mask> to its board of directors in May 2020. <mask> was a spokesperson for Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry campaign for more than ten years and created No Kid Hungry's annual fundraiser, the Great American Bake Sale. Her first Great American Bake Sale, in 2011, raised more than $50,000. She has also worked with the Elton John AIDS Foundation and serves on its board. Critical response
Hsiao-Ching Chou of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer wrote a review of <mask>'s cookbook Semi-Homemade Cooking that criticized both her recipes and her "semi-homemade" concept. She then wrote a follow-up column, noting that the review received a response "that was more impassioned than I anticipated". Chou wrote that, though most readers agreed with her, a number of readers took <mask>'s side, including one who wrote, "Lots of people who don't want to take the time to shred a cup of carrots want to cook a good meal."Kurt Soller, writing for Newsweek, compared <mask>'s impact upon television cooking with that of Julia Child, noting that although <mask>'s show "is the furthest from Child's methods", both women "filled a niche that hasn't yet been explored". Amanda Hesser, in a 2003 review of Semi-Homemade Cooking in The New York Times, wrote that <mask>'s recipes, in their use of prepackaged ingredients, can end up costing more, having harder-to-find ingredients, taking longer to make, and tasting worse than equivalent recipes made from scratch. Hesser also wrote that, in her cookbooks, <mask> "encourages a dislike for cooking, and gives people an excuse for feeding themselves and their families mediocre food filled with preservatives." At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, both Jessica Bennett in New York Times and Jaya Saxena in Eater noted that the context of pandemic scarcity made the "semi-homemade" concept feel newly relevant. Of <mask>, Saxena wrote, "her show, Semi-Homemade Cooking, might be the perfect way to cook through quarantine." Kwanzaa cake

Much of the criticism of <mask> has coalesced around a recipe for "Kwanzaa Cake" that she demonstrated on a 2003 episode of Semi-Homemade Cooking with <mask>. The recipe consisted of angel food cake topped with icing, cinnamon, apple pie filling, pumpkin seeds and corn nuts (which she referred to as acorns), all of which were store-bought, with seven Kwanzaa candles then inserted into the cake.Food writer Anthony Bourdain, who was harshly critical of <mask> in general, described the video clip of this segment of the show as "eye searing" and "a war crime". The cake was called "scary" by the Houston Chronicle, and "the most ghastly-sounding dish in <mask>'s culinary repertoire" by Tulsa World. Salon.com wrote that the video "takes pride of place in the pantheon of hilarious culinary disaster videos". Cookbook author Denise Vivaldo, who claims to have ghostwritten recipes for many celebrity chefs, wrote a humorous post in The Huffington Post in December 2010 stating that she was responsible for the recipe (though she said that the candles were <mask>'s idea), and apologizing for it. She also wrote that <mask> "has incredibly bad food taste". A week later, the post was removed after <mask>'s lawyer threatened legal action. <mask> has said this recipe is the only one of hers whose criticism she has taken to heart, and that the recipe was due to the Food Network dictating the show's content at the time.Personal life
From 2001 to 2005, she was married to then-KB Home CEO and philanthropist Bruce Karatz, for whom she converted to Judaism. In the fall of 2005, <mask> entered into a relationship with Andrew Cuomo, who served as the 56th Governor of New York from 2011 until his resignation in August 2021. The two lived in a home owned by <mask> in Chappaqua. On September 25, 2019, the couple announced that they had ended their relationship. <mask> has been reported to be dating the Algerian born Abdulwahab Benyoucef since March 2021, an actor professionally known as Ben Youcef who is 13 years her junior. Reportedly, friends of <mask> and Ben Youcef are known to affectionately refer to the couple as "Bendra." Cancer and advocacy
<mask> announced on May 12, 2015, that she had been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer.By then she had undergone a lumpectomy, and was scheduled to have a double mastectomy later in the week. Governor Cuomo was to take some personal time to be with her during and after the surgery. In August 2015, she contracted an infection in her right breast that resulted in her going on bed rest and intravenous drugs for three months. <mask> announced that she is cancer free in late 2015. In 2016, <mask> pushed for the passage of the $91 million "No Excuses" law in the state of New York, which provided for expanded breast cancer screening and removed insurance co-pays for mammograms. She subsequently advocated for other states to pass their own versions of the "No Excuses" law. <mask> was a keynote speaker at the Susan G. Komen Advocacy Summit for breast cancer advocacy in Washington, D.C., in May 2019.She also became an ambassador for Stand Up to Cancer and produced the documentary Rx: Early Detection – A Cancer Journey With <mask>.

Republican Senator John McCain described it as "an important contribution to the ongoing debate over U.S. involvement with the International Criminal Court. As our country continues to seek ways in which to hold perpetrators of atrocities to account, their analysis and argument will play a key role in the thinking in this area." Writing in Foreign Affairs, Princeton University Professor John Ikenberry said, "Books of this sort are all too rare.Two experienced policy intellectuals, one liberal, one conservative, have come together to find common ground on a controversial foreign policy issue." <mask> said the book was “Rigorous in its arguments and humane in its conclusions, the volume is an indispensable guide for scholars and policymakers alike.”

One of the top-ten box office draws of the day, whose character was soon depicted in comic books, on screen <mask> personified the clean cut, God-fearing American hero of the Wild West, who wore a white Stetson hat, loved his faithful horse Koko, and had a loyal buddy who shared his adventures. <mask>'s comic-relief sidekick in his first few pictures was Buddy Ebsen and then character actor Slim Pickens.

<mask> (born 8 January 1991), commonly known as <mask>, or simply <mask> (), is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for  club Everton and the Brazil national team. After starting out in the Madureira youth system in his home country, he joined Uruguayan club Deportivo Maldonado, but later returned to Brazil and made his professional debut with Vasco da Gama in 2009. <mask> joined Italian club Udinese in 2012, and subsequently moved to fellow Serie A side Napoli in 2015. At international level, he was a part of the Brazil under-20 side that won the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup, and later made his senior debut for Brazil in 2018; he was a member of the team that won the 2019 Copa América on home soil. Club career

Madureira and Deportivo Maldonado
<mask> was signed from Madureira by Uruguayan side Deportivo Maldonado at 17 years of age  for an undisclosed fee. However, he was later loaned out to Vasco da Gama back in Brazil; he would not make an appearance for Maldonado. Vasco da Gama
<mask> moved to Vasco da Gama once again still as a youth player, loaned from Deportivo Maldonado.A year after he played for their youth team, he was brought back and promoted to the first-team by coach Dorival Júnior, playing in many crucial games in the club's 2009 season to help the side win the Série B and secure promotion to the top-flight Série A, though he ultimately suffered an injury. Due to injury <mask>, could not compete with Vasco da Gama neither in the Campeonato Carioca nor the 2010 Copa do Brasil. After an initial recovery, he returned to the club's junior team to regain fitness before rejoining the first-team. He then returned to action in the last round of the Série A before the break for the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup, playing in the Copa da Hora friendly tournament. The club won the tournament, with <mask> contributing to the title, also scoring a goal in a 3–2 victory over Coritiba. Udinese
In June 2012, <mask> signed for Serie A side Udinese for a reported fee of R$7 million from Deportivo Maldonado. He made his debut for Udinese at home at the Stadio Friuli against Juventus, where he created an assist for teammate Andrea Lazzari's goal.In his first season in Udine, <mask> played mostly as a defensive midfielder, recovering and distributing a large number of balls. Manager Francesco Guidolin played him in 36 games in the league out of 38 games, he proved one of the best bargains of the season, defying expectation and playing almost all games as a starter to help Udinese to finish in a surprise fifth-place position, securing qualification to next year's UEFA Europa League. The following season the club finished 13th in the league in what was Francesco Guidolin's final season with the side. Despite this, <mask> excelled in midfield, and scored his first goals for the club as his improvement in Italy continued. His calm and controlled performance in midfield also prompted future Udinese manager Andrea Stramaccioni to suggest that he was now one of the best young midfielders in Europe, comparable to Manchester United's Paul Pogba. In the 2014–15 season, <mask> was to be the top ball-winner of all of Europe's top-five leagues (Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1) with the most balls won. Napoli
After reported interest from a number of other clubs, <mask> signed for Napoli for €10m plus bonuses in July 2015.In the 2015–16 season, <mask> made his Napoli debut in a pre-season friendly against Lega Pro side FeralpiSalò, which Napoli won 5–2. He made his first Serie A debut for Napoli at home against Sampdoria in the second matchday of the Serie A season, creating an assist for Gonzalo Higuaín with a through-ball that the latter converted with a right-footed shot from the right side of the box, making the scoreline 2–0. <mask> was later substituted in the second half for David López. <mask> would then receive a start in Napoli's third game of the season, a 2–2 away draw with Empoli, scoring an equalizer in the 78th minute after converting a pass from captain Marek Hamšík. On 17 September 2015, <mask> came off the bench in the 62nd minute against Belgian club Club Brugge in his first ever Europa League game, assisting José Callejón's second goal of the game with a through-ball just minutes after coming on. The match finished 5–0 for Napoli, the club's largest European win and the joint-largest margin of defeat for Brugge, equalling its 6–1 defeat at Monaco in 1988. <mask> would go on to score once again and provide another assist in a 5–0 win against Lazio, only three days after the Brugge victory on 20 September, giving manager Maurizio Sarri trust in him for his precise passing and defensive work.On 26 September, <mask> scored a goal against defending champions Juventus, with excellent passing and an impressive overall game in a 2–1 home win. On 4 October, <mask> would score the opening goal in a 0–4 away rout of Milan in a swift counter-attacking move, where the Brazilian went one-on-one with Milan goalkeeper Diego López. In the 2016–17 season, <mask> had 29 Serie A appearances (1 goal, 5 assists), 8 Champions League appearances culminating in an 86.6% pass completion rate, an average of 2.4 successful tackles per game and he also averaged one key pass (one that led to a goalscoring opportunity) per game. In the 2017–18 season, <mask> played in all 38 Serie A matches, scoring four goals. During that season, <mask> extended his contract with Napoli until 2023. In the following season, he featured in 33 Serie A matches and reached the 2018–19 UEFA Europa League quarter-finals with Napoli. In the 2019–20 season, he played in the 2019–20 UEFA Champions League round of 16 home match against Barcelona, which ended 1–1, then he won the 2019–20 Coppa Italia against Juventus, his only silverware with Napoli.Everton
On 5 September 2020, English club Everton signed <mask> for around £21.7m on a three-year deal, to be reunited with former Napoli manager Carlo Ancelotti. He made his debut the following week in a 1–0 win away to Tottenham Hotspur. <mask> suffered an injury to his hamstring on 16 December during an away game against Leicester City, he was replaced in the 41st minute by Andre Gomes; Everton won the game 0–2. <mask> was ruled out for the remainder of Everton's games in 2020. He returned to the starting eleven on 1 March against Southampton playing the full 90 minutes, Everton won the game 1-0.

International career

Under-20
He was called up by Brazilian under-20 coach Ney Franco on 20 August 2011, where he impressed enough at Vasco da Gama to earn a call-up for the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Brazil's U-20 World Cup-winning side also featured the likes of Oscar, Philippe Coutinho, Casemiro and Danilo, as well as future Napoli teammates Gabriel and Bruno Uvini. Brazil made it to the tournament final, beating Portugal 3–2 in extra time and winning the U20 World Cup for the fifth time.Senior
Although born in Brazil, <mask> holds dual Portuguese-Brazilian nationality, making him eligible to play for Brazil or Portugal. <mask> also 'has a distant Italian relative' which qualifies him for an Italian passport and thus the Italian national team. Sky Sport Italia and TV Luna report that he has been asked 'to switch allegiances to the Azzurri' by national coach Roberto Mancini. Manager Tite, on 26 October 2018, named <mask> to the Brazilian squad that will face Uruguay and Cameroon in friendlies the following month. However, because these were only exhibition matches, <mask> still also remained eligible to play for Portugal and Italy at the time. He made his senior international debut in the former match, held in London on 16 November, which ended in a 1–0 victory to Brazil. In May 2019, <mask> was included in Brazil's 23-man squad for the 2019 Copa América on home soil.On 7 July, he come on as an injury-time substitute in Brazil's 3–1 victory over Peru in the final of the tournament, at the Maracanã Stadium. Style of play
Considered by several pundits and footballing figures to be one of the best midfielders in Serie A, Europe, and world football, <mask> operates primarily as a defensive midfielder or as a central midfielder in the mezzala role, and is equally comfortable at playing both in an attacking and defensive midfield role; he is also capable of being deployed in a deeper role as a playmaker. As such, he has also been labelled a box-to-box midfielder in the media. He is also capable of playing on the left or right flank, and has even been deployed as a full-back on occasion. Normally deployed as a holding midfielder in front of the back-line, <mask> is known as a dynamic, physically strong, tenacious and energetic right-footed midfielder, with good ball-winning abilities. He also possesses good technique, dribbling skills, pace and good long passing ability, which enables him to start attacking plays after winning back possession. He has been described as a complete and tactically versatile midfielder, who is different from traditional defensive midfielders, due to his reputation for dribbling past defenders and passing the ball through the legs of an opponent, a move known as the nutmeg.Career statistics
