<mask>  (born 30 September 1956) is a Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Sheffield in the UK. Early life
<mask> was born in Sheffield in the United Kingdom. After attending Uppingham School in Rutland and then High Storrs School in his home town, he attended the University College of North Wales, Bangor as an undergraduate before registering for a PhD in Experimental Psychology at the same institution. Career
After being awarded his doctorate, he moved to the University of Liverpool to undertake professional training as a clinical psychologist. He later returned to his alma mater of Liverpool to work as a lecturer, after a brief stint working for the National Health Service as a forensic clinical psychologist. Later, he studied for an MA in Philosophy Applied to Healthcare from the University of Wales, Swansea. He was eventually promoted to Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Liverpool.In 1999, he accepted a position at the University of Manchester, collaborating with researchers based there who were working in understanding the treatment of psychotic experiences. After returning in 2007 to a professorial position at Bangor University, where he retains an honorary professorship, he returned to the University of Liverpool in 2011, before moving to the University of Sheffield in 2017. His research continues to focus on the psychological mechanisms of severe mental illness and social factors that affect these mechanisms, which has led to a recent interest in public mental health. In 1989, he received the British Psychological Society's Division of Clinical Psychology 'May Davidson Award', an annual award for outstanding contributions to the field of clinical psychology, in the first ten years after qualifying. In 2014 he was elected a Fellow of the British Academy, the United Kingdom's national academy for the humanities and social sciences. Research

A review by Paul Broks in The Sunday Times summarised its position as: "Like Szasz, Bentall is firmly opposed to the biomedical model, but he also takes issue with extreme social relativists who would deny the reality of madness." In the book, Bentall also argues that no clear distinction exists between those diagnosed with mental illnesses and the "well". While this notion is more widely accepted in psychiatry when it comes to anxiety and depression, Bentall insists that schizotypal experiences are also common. In 2009 he published Doctoring The Mind: Is Our Current Treatment Of Mental Illness Really Any Good?A review of this book by neuro-scientist Roy Sugarman argued that it allied itself with the anti-psychiatry movement in its critiques of biological psychiatry. The review in PsycCRITIQUES was more nuanced, pointing out that Bentall did not reject psycho-pharmacology, but that he was concerned over its overuse. In 2010, <mask> and John Read co-authored a literature review on "The effectiveness of electroconvulsive therapy" (ECT). It examined placebo-controlled studies and concluded ECT had minimal benefits for people with depression and schizophrenia. The authors said "given the strong evidence of persistent and, for some, permanent brain dysfunction, primarily evidenced in the form of retrograde and anterograde amnesia, and the evidence of a slight but significant increased risk of death, the cost-benefit analysis for ECT is so poor that its use cannot be scientifically justified". Psychiatrists, however, sharply criticized this paper in passing by calling it an "evidence-poor paper with an anti-ECT agenda". In 2012, <mask> and collaborators in Maastricht published a meta-analysis of the research literature on childhood trauma and psychosis,

 considering epidemiological, case-control, and prospective studies.This study found that the evidence that childhood trauma confers a risk of adult psychosis is highly consistent, with children who have experienced trauma (sexual abuse, physical abuse, loss of a parent or bullying) being approximately three times more likely to become psychotic than non-traumatised children; there was a dose-response effect (the most severely traumatised children were even more likely to become psychotic) suggesting that the effect is causal. This finding, and other findings suggesting that there are many social risk factors for severe mental illness, has led to Bentall's current interest in public mental health. Bibliography

Luigino "<mask><mask> (July 5, 1918 – November 24, 2011) was an American businessman, investor, and philanthropist. <mask> started over 70 companies; among the most well-known ventures included his frozen food company, Bellisio Foods, and food products such as Pizza Rolls and the Chun King line of Chinese food. Early life

A self-described "peddler from the Iron Range", <mask> was born in the mining town Aurora, Minnesota. <mask>'s parents, Ettore and Michelina, had recently moved from Bellisio Solfare, hamlet of Pergola (Marche) Italy and his father was a miner in one of the region's iron mines. He began his long career in the grocery industry while working for his family's small grocery store during the Great Depression. On February 8, 1947, <mask> married Lois Mae Trepanier. They had three children together.Career

During the 1940s, <mask> developed the Chun King line of canned Chinese food products. In the book "The Very, Very Rich, and how they got that way", <mask> was quoted as stating his motivation that, while he loved Chinese food, he found it too bland and thought it would benefit from a little Italian spicing. After making a batch and canning it, he took some samples to a supermarket executive to convince him to try it out, and to persuade him to stock it. On opening the can, <mask> found, to his horror, that the top of the can's contents included a whole, cooked grasshopper. Fortunately, the can had been opened in such a way that the lid was facing the executive, so that only <mask> could see the contents. Thinking quickly, <mask> told the executive, "This looks so good, I'm going to taste it myself". He then took one of two spoons that were lying on the table, reached into the can, quickly dug out a heaping spoonful (which included the grasshopper) and ate it.(According to <mask>, "It didn't taste bad." Roasted or deep-fried grasshoppers are a popular street snack in Mexico City.) He then offered the can to the executive, who sampled a separate spoonful, liked it, and placed a

His version of Chinese food was heavily modified to better catered to the food preferences of European immigrants and some Americans of similar ethnic origins by the addition of Italian spices. <mask>'s company became so successful selling canned chow mein and chop suey that President Gerald Ford quipped, "What could be more American than a business built on a good Italian recipe for chop suey?" when praising <mask> accomplishments with Chun King. By 1962, Chun King was bringing in $30 million in annual revenue and accounted for half of all U.S. sales of prepared Chinese food.Chun King was sold to R. J. Reynolds tobacco company, in 1966 for $63 million. In 1985, <mask> sold his Jeno's Pizza Rolls brand to Pillsbury. He later regretted selling the pizza rolls, saying, "I should’ve kept the pizza roll. It's something that’ll damn near live forever." In the early 1990s, <mask> returned to northeast Minnesota to launch Luigino's, Inc., a frozen food company specializing in Italian food such as pasta marketed under the Michelina's brand named after <mask>'s mother. <mask> was a game show contestant on CBS's What's My Line in 1963. He was also featured on the television show Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous with Robin Leach.<mask> started Paulucci Publications in 1979 with the launch of his magazine for Italian Americans, Attenzione. In January 1981, The New York Times reported that <mask>'s magazine "had survived 19 issues in an area where others could not make it to six". Leda Sanford, the magazine's editor-in-chief and publisher, said "patience and a lot of money" was required to make the magazine succeed. <mask> sold Attenzione to Adam Publications in January 1982. Sanford reported that <mask> had put $6 million into the publication. Describing himself as an "incurable entrepreneur," <mask> advocated several innovative strategies for building small businesses. From the 1940s to the 1960s, his Chun King company attempted to "cut out the middle man" and "take advantage of

 waste".<mask> preferred not to use personal money for his businesses and instead relied on public financing provided in exchange for job creation. <mask> was also credited with building one of the first national brands of frozen pizzas and taking advantage of the growing acceptance of frozen food as a meal. <mask> told a reporter, "Wherever there's a microwave, I believe we should have our product." In the 1980s, <mask> planned and developed the master-planned community Heathrow, Florida. Since the 1980s, <mask> owned numerous land holdings in Seminole County, Florida, and was an active philanthropist in the community. Charity and philanthropy

<mask> was involved with numerous charitable causes. He was a prominent advocate for Italian-American issues.He founded the National Italian American Foundation in the 1970s and served as a presidential emissary to Italy. The Paulucci Space Theater, a planetarium in Hibbing, Minnesota, is named in honor of <mask>. Controversy

In 1982, <mask> moved 1200 jobs from the Jeno's Pizza plant in Duluth, Minnesota, to Jackson, Ohio. Ohio had offered <mask> publicly financed low-interest loans. Many accused <mask> of violating his professed commitment to northeast Minnesota during a time of economic hardships. In response to these criticisms, <mask> told Minnesota Public Radio, "I'm a businessman, I'm not going to say oh gee, I'm a nice guy." <mask> and his daughter began a legal battle in 2006 over guardianship of his daughter's substantial trust fund.After his death, a significant legal battle erupted over his $100m estate.

<mask> (born David Darwin Pedruska; May 3, 1928 – December 22, 2003) was an American country music singer best known for his truck-driving country anthems of the 1960s and 1970s and his semi-slurred bass. His signature song was "Six Days on the Road", and he is also remembered for "Vietnam Blues", "Truck Drivin' Son-of-a-Gun", and "Me and ol' C.B.". Other recordings included <mask>'s duet with Tom T. Hall, "Day Drinking", and his own Top 10 hit, "Fireball Rolled A Seven", supposedly based on the career and death of Edward Glenn "Fireball" Roberts. Biography

Early life and rise to fame
Born in Spencer, Wisconsin, United States, <mask>'s grandparents came from Königsberg in East Prussia, Germany. At the age of eleven he was given a guitar by his grandfather and learned to play the chords. He had a short career as a semi-professional baseball player. After he suffered an arm injury, he was no longer able to play baseball.He then decided to pursue a career in country music. He was one of the earliest artists to record for the National Recording Corporation, with "Where's There's A Will" (1959). <mask> was injured once again in 1960, this time in a car accident, setting back his career in music. He first appeared on the Country charts in 1961 with "Maybe I Do", released by Vee Records. He later moved to Golden Wing Records. Height of his career

In the original version of the song as recorded by <mask> the lyrics include the words "...I'm taking little white pills and my eyes are open wide..." a reference to the stimulants some truckers used to keep driving (and make their delivery times) when they needed sleep. Some remakes of the song replace these words with a reference to looking at the white lines on the road. In 1963, <mask> moved on to Mercury Records. By the end of 1963, he released his first single from the label, "Last Day in the Mines". <mask> scored more big hits in the 1960s, including "Truck Drivin' Son-of-a-Gun", "Trucker's Prayer" and "Anything Leaving Town Today". "Six Days on the Road" was subsequently recorded by several other artists including George Thorogood and the Destroyers, Steve Earle, The Flying Burrito Brothers and Sawyer Brown.<mask> continued to have success into the 1970s, while continuing to record for Mercury Records. He had some country Top 10s in the 1970s, including "Comin' Down" and "Fly Away Again". By the late 1970s, his success on the charts was beginning to fade, although <mask> amassed thirty-three Top 40 Country hits. In 1978, <mask>'s name became known to the audience in Germany after the most successful German country band Truck Stop had a single Top 10 hit in Germany, titled "Ich möcht’ so

 gern <mask> hör’n" ("I would like to listen to <mask> so much"). Late career and death
In the 1980s, <mask> continued to record sporadically, and remained popular in concert. During this time, he was elected to the 'Nashville Teamsters Truck Drivers Union', receiving a solid gold membership card from the union. During this time, he also found out that he had a big fan base in Europe, and he decided to try to appeal more to this market.<mask> purchased Staples Lake Resort in the mid 1970s and ran a successful business/resort there until the mid to late 1980s with wife, Marie. During his ownership he also sponsored multiple country music festivals on the property. In total, <mask> recorded more than 70 albums. However, he did not manage to reclaim his past success, and neither his single "Where's That Truck? ", recorded with disc jockey Charlie Douglas, nor the track "<mask>, American Trucker", recorded in 2002 in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, helped revive his career. Few of his hits have made it onto CDs and albums, creating a market for his vintage vinyl recordings. <mask> died on December 22, 2003, aged 75, after suffering a heart attack in his car in a parking lot in Danbury, Wisconsin.Discography

texts: <mask> (born 16 May 1979 in Helsinki) is a Finnish pianist. <mask>'s international career was launched when he won First Prize in the 10th Vienna Beethoven competition as the youngest contestant, receiving the special award for the best performance of a late Beethoven sonata (op. 106 “Hammerklavier”). Subsequently, he was awarded First Prize in the London International Piano Competition 2000, the Dublin International Piano Competition (with unanimous jury votes and a special prize for the best Mozart performance) and the Leeds International Piano Competition in 2003 (and the audience prize voted by viewers and listeners to the BBC broadcasts and the live audience in Leeds Town Hall). <mask>'s debut in Brussels in December 2004 was a matchless success. Due to illness the conductor had to cancel on very short notice. <mask> agreed to lead the orchestra from the piano and saved the whole concert by playing in the second half Beethoven's Diabelli variations in place of the orchestra.Immediately he was re-invited for concerts with the Orchestre National and for a recital by the Palais des Beaux Arts. Standing in for sickened Emanuel Ax in February 2005, Siirala gave a sensational debut recital at the Cologne Philharmonie. According to the newspaper Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger “His recital will be remembered as one of the most outstanding events of this season”. Stepping in for indisposed famous colleagues seemed to be his brand mark throughout the season 2006/07: whether replacing Hélène Grimaud for concerts with the SWR-Sinfonieorchester Freiburg/Baden-Baden under Gielen with his musically expressive but symphonic interpretation of Brahms’ 2nd piano concerto, or Ivo Pogorelich at the Schumannfest Düsseldorf, Michail Pletnev at the Maggio Musicale or Yefim Bronfman with the Bamberg

texts:
<mask> (May 25, 1877 – August 17, 1954) was one of the most popular singers in the United States in the early 20th century. While he received star billing in vaudeville, he was best known for his prolific work in the recording studio, making records for almost every record label of the era. Life and career
<mask> was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Patrick and Julia (Kelleher<mask>, immigrants from County Kerry, Ireland. His parents moved to Denver, Colorado, in 1882, where he grew up. He became fascinated with the theater and joined a traveling vaudeville troupe in 1893. He also performed in minstrel shows early in his career. In 1897 <mask> made his first recordings for Peter Bacigalupi, the owner of a phonograph company in San Francisco.As of 2010, none of <mask>'s cylinder records with Bacigalupi are known to have survived. In 1903, he started recording regularly in the New York City and New Jersey area, where major record companies in the U.S. as well as the Tin Pan Alley music industry were concentrated. In 1906, he recorded the first of his popular duets with Ada Jones. He also performed with Aileen Stanley, the Haydn Quartet, the American Quartet (also known as the Premier Quartet), and Elsie Baker; as well as performed solo work. Nicknamed "The Denver Nightingale", <mask> had a strong tenor voice with excellent enunciation and a conversational delivery compared with bel canto singers of the era. On comic songs, he often deliberately sang

Although he often performed romantic numbers and ballads which sold well, his comedy and novelty song recordings continue to be popular with later generations of record collectors.<mask> was a devoted baseball fan, and he is said to have played with the New York Highlanders (Yankees) in exhibition games. He also supposedly sometimes called in sick to recording sessions in order to go to the ballpark. <mask> recorded "Tessie, You Are the Only, Only, Only", which became the unofficial theme of the 1903 World Series, when the words were changed from "Tessie, you know I love you madly" to "Honus, why do you hit so badly?" <mask>'s popularity faded as public taste changed and recording technology advanced; the rise of the electric microphone in the mid-1920s coincided with the era of the crooners. His "hammering" style, as he called it, essentially yelling the song into an acoustic recording horn, did not work in the electrical era, and he had to learn to soften his voice. Though his singing style was less in demand, he continued to find recording work. By the late 1920s and early 1930s, the music from his early days was considered nostalgic, and <mask> was in demand again.He did voices for animated cartoons, especially the popular "follow the bouncing ball" sing-along cartoons and the Fleischer Studios character Bimbo. He also did radio work. In 1929, <mask> and Walter Scanlon provided the voices for the

<mask> (; born 21 October 1930) is a former Soviet and Russian politician. He served as Prime Minister of the Soviet Union through the offices of chairman of the Committee on the Operational Management of the Soviet economy (28 August – 25 December 1991) and chairman of the Inter-republican Economic Committee (20 September – 14 November 1991). Responsible for overseeing the economy of the Soviet Union during the late Gorbachev Era, he was the last head of government of the Soviet Union, succeeding Valentin Pavlov. After graduating in the 1950s, <mask> began his political career in the Ministry of Aviation Industry in the 1970s. During the Brezhnev Era he became Minister of Aviation Industry, a Central Committee member, and Minister of Machine-Tool and Tool Building Industry. When Nikolai Tikhonov's Second Government was dissolved, Mikhail Gorbachev appointed him deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers in Nikolai Ryzhkov's Ryzhkov's First Government. He left all posts in the central government in 1990 to focus in his post as chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Russian SFSR.He faced several cabinet difficulties during his tenure, and supported the majority of Boris Yeltsin's policies. Having opposed Yeltsin's secessionist policies during his tenure as Soviet Premier, he was removed from his post as Russian SFSR Premier and succeeded in his post by acting Premier Oleg Lobov. When he became Premier of the Soviet Union on 28 August 1991, <mask> opposed some of Yeltsin's policies which led to the disintegration of the Soviet Union. After <mask> resigned as Soviet Premier, he continued to work for the Yeltsin administration as the Permanent Representative of Russia to the European Community until his resignation in 1994. During the 2007 legislative election <mask> ran as a candidate for the Agrarian Party of Russia. Early life and career

Russian premiership

Appointment
The election of a Chairman of the Council of Ministers – Government of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR), literally Premier of the Russian SFSR, was not considered a very important event; the Premier was elected following the election of the chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR, the Supreme Soviet's deputy chairman, and after a debate on Russian agriculture.Boris Yeltsin, the chairman of the Russian SFSR Supreme Soviet, was ordered to select candidates for the post of Premier to the Supreme Soviet. Mikhail Bocharov, a successful businessman and leader of the cooperative movement, rector of the Moscow Aviation Institute Yuri Ryzhkov, and <mask> were chosen as the candidates. Ryzhkov withdrew his candidacy before the first round of voting was finished. During the election Bocharov revealed his radical economic reform plan to the Supreme Soviet deputies; in it industry would be privatised, and subsidies to unprofitable enterprises would cease in a 100 Days reform package. <mask> did not have any similar economic reform plans, but was widely considered to be Yeltsin's favourite for the post. In the first round of voting <mask> earned 119 votes, while Bocharov earned 86 votes. To be elected to the post, a candidate needed to win over

 half of the vote; neither <mask> or Bocharov succeeded in this.Seeing that <mask> was Yeltsin's favourite, and had won more votes than Bocharov, <mask> ran unchallenged in the second election round, and was thus elected by a large margin. Gorbachev tried to break the <mask>–Yeltsin alliance but to no avail. In 1989, Valentin Pavlov, the Prime Minister of the Soviet Union from 14 January to 28 August 1991, had gathered together enough information on the errors and omissions of <mask> to weaken his position as Deputy Premier. <mask> never forgave Pavlov and relations between the two grew colder when Pavlov became the Prime Minister. <mask>'s government

Silayev repeatedly opined that if he ever was given conflicting instructions by the Premier of the Soviet Union and Yeltsin, he would always "observe the laws of the RSFSR", meaning he would obey Yeltsin. During his tenure as Premier, <mask> was never the de facto leader of the government cabinet, and was loyal to Yeltsin and the Supreme Soviet. In contrast to his predecessor, Aleksandr Vlasov, <mask> tried to modernise the Russian Government.<mask> decided to break with the old Soviet nomenklatura system of electing cabinet members by electing members using an "objective" and "scientific" basis. To accomplish this, <mask> asked professional psychologists to interview candidate cabinet members. Only 14 of the 200 cabinet candidates were recommended for a post in the government cabinet; even so, several of the candidates were given a post in the new government. All candidate members were selected by either <mask>, Yeltsin, or the Supreme Soviet. <mask>'s government lacked ideological unity, and several conservative members were elected to the cabinet in July 1990, among them Oleg Lobov and Gennadii Kulik. In November 1990 Grigory Yavlinsky resigned from his cabinet post, citing the failure of the 500 Days Programme. However, some commentators believe Yavlinsky resigned because of frequent conflict between him and other cabinet members.RSFSR Minister of Finance Boris Fyodorov resigned on 5 December 1990, and accused the First Deputy Premiers of taking important financial decisions on behalf of the ministry and

 him as minister behind his back. Lobov, the First Deputy Premier in charge of regional development, had become a de facto leader of the cabinet. Lobov was Yeltsin's favourite, and tried to weaken <mask>'s position within the cabinet. With the consent of the Supreme Soviet <mask> established a 16-member Presidium for the cabinet. Another problem facing <mask> was that the Supreme Soviet was usurping the power of the executive branch by strengthening the legislative branch. To accomplish this the Supreme Soviet established duplicated entities, such as the Committee for Mass Media, which duplicated the functions of the Ministry of Mass Media. Viktor Kisin, the Minister of Industry, told the press that the only employee of his ministry was in fact himself.In July 1990 <mask> agreed to create parallel executive-legislative administrative bodies. In December 1990 the Congress of People's Deputies of the Russian SFSR entrusted <mask> and his government to create a new plan for economic reform. The plan was finished in April 1991, and was referred to as the "Yeltsin–Silayev Plan". The plan was heavily influenced by the 500 Days Programme, and supported privatisation and the marketisation of the economy. The reform plan was criticised by an official from the State Committee on Economic Reform of the central government; he called the plan "a statement of intents"; instead of an economic reform, he called it a "manifesto". A Supreme Soviet deputy noted the proposed reform lacked real statistical insight. Even so, the proposed reform received a majority in a Supreme Soviet vote; Yeltsin's supporters knew that his economic reform proposal had to be accepted before the July presidential election.Following the July presidential election the Russian government resigned, and the post of premier was once again up for election. <mask> had strong competitors for the post, such as Yurii Skokov, but won the election.

The State Committee for the State of Emergency failed to arrest <mask> or any other high-standing Russian state officials during the August Coup. <mask> was one of several leading Russian SFSR politicians who flew to Gorbachev's summer house in

texts: the immediate aftermath of the failed coup. On 24 August the Russian SFSR Council of Ministers issued a decree transferring central government authority over economic and communications ministries to the RSFSR Government, and took control of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and KGB archives. With the central government's authority greatly weakened, Gorbachev established a four-man committee, led by <mask>, that included Grigory Yavlinsky, Arkady Volsky, and Yuri Luzhkov, to elect a new Cabinet of Ministers. This committee was later transformed into the Committee on the Operational Management of the Soviet economy (COMSE), also chaired by <mask>, to manage the Soviet economy.On 28 August 1991 a Supreme Soviet temporarily gave the COMSE the same authority as the Cabinet of Ministers, and <mask> became the Soviet Union's de facto Premier. COMSE was quickly surpassed in authority by the Inter-republican Economic Committee (IEC). Its function was to coordinate economic policy across the Soviet Union. As Chairman of both COMSE and the IEC, <mask> presided over a quickly disintegrating Soviet Union. Further disintegration of the USSR led to the transformation of the IEC into the  (coordinates relations between the union republics and the republics that seceded from the USSR). On November 14 Silaev was appointed Chairman of the IEC - Prime Minister of the Economic Community. When he first took office, <mask> wanted to reduce the powers of the central government and give more powers to the Soviet Republics.This view changed; he demanded that Yeltsin give back much of the authority of the central government which he had usurped following the August Coup. In this he failed, and his position as Russian SFSR Premier was severely weakened as a result. Oleg Lobov, <mask>'s First Deputy Premier, led the anti-<mask> faction in the Russian SFSR Council of Ministers and managed to oust him on 26 September 1991; Lobov succeeded <mask> as acting Premier of the Russian SFSR. <mask>, as overseer of the economy, was given the task of initiating economic reforms in the Soviet Union in a way that suited both the central government and the Soviet republics. <mask> tried to

Poventud was born in Guayama, Puerto Rico, to <mask>, a law enforcement officer in the San Juan Police Department, and Concepción Aponte, a seamstress. A descendant of Carlos Armstrong and Eulalia Pou, Poventud was the youngest of five siblings. From the age of five Poventud looked forward to trips to the town Plaza accompanied by his mother, dressed in clothes that she herself had sewn. While he was a student at the Escuela Parada Guamani, he suffered a spinal cord injury caused by a biking accident and was hospitalized for two years, which left him immobile at the age of 10.His mother was stricken by TB and died shortly after he was discharged from the hospital. When <mask>'s father gave him a guitar, he taught himself to play it. He re-arranged the guitar strings upside down since he was left handed. Soon <mask> was performing in his hometown of Guayama, winning awards, and singing before large audiences at the local radio station WHOM. He became known as El Niño Prodigio de Guayama (The Child Prodigy of Guayama). After his mother's death, <mask>'s father remarried. The young boy resented this, and resented his father's opposition to his musical career.Musical career

In New York, Poventud continued his primary and secondary education at P.S. 93 Elementary School, then at Joan of Arc High School.<mask> wrote his first composition at age 14 titled Ya No Soy Un Niño. (I'm Not a Child Anymore). His primary inspirations were his deceased mother, his new reality in New York, a growing romanticism, and the melancholy of diaspora - a nostalgia for the island and the people that he'd left behind. In 1956, still at the age of 14, <mask> was invited to sing in the wedding of Grace Kelly and Rainier III, Prince of Monaco. <mask> made his professional debut in El Teatro Puerto Rico, where he sang the songs he'd written in his mother's memory: Soy un Huerfanito (I'm a Little Orphan), De Que Me Sirve la Vida (What's the Use of Living), and Hechame a Mi la Culpa (Blame Me). <mask> continued to make further presentations at the theater with Yomo Toro y su Conjunto playing Rock 'n Roll in English, and singing Boleros in Spanish. His also sang Rock 'n Roll songs such as  "Prometo Recordarte" (I Promise to Remember You).He made two appearances in a local New York television show, in which he sang "De Boca a Boca" (Mouth to Mouth) and several other Rock 'n Roll numbers. <mask> participated in a comedy sketch with Mexican comedian Tin Tan and was invited by the comedian to join his act in Mexico, which he did, and there they recorded an album based on their act.

 expert to the constitutional committee of the Provisional National Unity Council, the country's temporary legislative body. Elected to the Chamber in May as a National Salvation Front member, he served there from mid-June until the end of July, when he resigned. This was followed over the next two years by two ministerial stints: Justice under Prime Minister Petre Roman and Interior under PM Theodor Stolojan. It was during his time at the Interior Ministry that debates about its demilitarisation began. Meanwhile, in 1992 he became university professor, teaching international commercial law, and the following year he became president of the commercial arbitration court within the Defense Ministry.Joining the new Democratic Party, he returned to the Chamber in 1992, where he was on the defense, public order and national security committee (1992), and president of the committee for investigating abuses, corruption and for petitions (1992–1996). In 1995 he rose to vice president of the PD. As Defense Minister and subsequently
Again elected in 1996, he was on the following committees: investigating abuses, corruption and petitions (1996–2000); culture, art and mass media (1998); European integration (1998–2000); and defense, public order and national security (2000). During this period, the Romanian Democratic Convention governed Romania, and he was Defense Minister in three successive cabinets, from December 1996 to March 2000 (with a hiatus in February–April 1998), and was also interim Reform Minister in December 1998. <mask>, who had no military experience or expertise, managed the Romanian Army as part of his political intrigues, granting promotions to lower-ranking officers on political criteria.

texts: Minister. The first came at the beginning of 1999, when the third Mineriad saw Jiu Valley miners march toward Bucharest.Reversing a differentiation of police and military roles that had begun to take shape prior to 1996, <mask> announced that the army was available to intervene domestically, leading to serious strain between him and the officer corps. The second occurred shortly thereafter, during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. Despite widespread domestic criticism, Parliament approved NATO's demand for unlimited use of Romanian airspace, with <mask> asserting Romania's determination "to be alongside and together with NATO". The period also coincided with a renewed effort to bring to justice those who had fired on unarmed civilians during the Revolution. On the one hand, <mask> encouraged the 1997 opening of army files relating to the event, saying it would free them from the stigma of suspicion and that investigations should proceed unhampered. On the other hand, following the 1999 conviction of Generals <mask> and Mihai Chițac for ordering shooting while repressing the uprising in Timișoara, he stressed that the two personally "did not harm anybody" and "played a decisive role" in turning the army to the side of the Revolution. This was characteristic of the PD's attempts to find extenuating circumstances and prevent justice from taking its course.When he left the PD in early 2000, he also resigned from his ministerial post, and sat in the Chamber as an independent until the end of the year. <mask> was elected to a final term in 2000. He sat as a PNL member until April 2002, then as an independent until January 2003, when he returned to the PD. He was on the human rights, religious affairs, and national minorities committee.
