<mask> (; July 3, 1924 – October 28, 1975) was a powerful member of the Sicilian Mafia. Together with his brother <mask> he ruled the Mafia family of Palermo Centro. <mask> sat on the first Sicilian Mafia Commission that was set up in 1958 as the capo mandamento for Mafia families of Borgo Vecchio, Porta Nuova and Palermo Centro. Gaia Servadio, an English/Italian journalist who wrote a biography on <mask>, described him as the symbol of the quick, clever gangster. The new post-war mafioso who in the end became the victim of the many politicians he himself had built. He represented the proletariat who tried to become mafioso, middle class, and ultimately did not succeed. Mafia career
<mask> and <mask> were born in the slums of the neighbourhood of Partanna-Mondello in Palermo.Their father was an itinerant charcoal burner and vendor. They started with petty larceny and murder and raised themselves to become prominent leaders of a new generation of mafiosi in the 1950s and 1960s who made their fortune in real estate transactions, cigarette smuggling and heroin trafficking. The brothers were bent on transcending the indignities of their poverty. <mask> <mask> became the protégé of a local Mafia boss, and by 1952 they had organized a building supply company. They then murdered the right-hand man to the contractor Salvatore Moncada, so that they could become the construction entrepreneur’s lieutenants. By 1955 <mask> <mask> had become the vice-boss and de facto head of the Palermo Centro cosca. One of the La Barbera’s hitmen was Tommaso Buscetta, who subsequently became a pentito (collaborating witness) in 1984.Still in his thirties, <mask> <mask> began acting like a man of affairs, acquiring bulldozers, trucks and other construction equipment as well as apartment buildings. Generous and charming, he assumed the life style of a Chicago gangster of the 1930s, with new cars, luxurious clothes and frequent visits to Milan and Rome, where he stayed in the best hotels, surrounded by beautiful women. Buscetta remembers <mask> <mask> as

 "arrogant and haughty". The <mask> brothers together with other upstart Mafia bosses like Pietro Torretta and their henchmen formed the so-called ‘New Mafia’ which adopted new gangster techniques. Other smaller cosche came to recognize the supremacy of these bosses – a supremacy achieved by sheer violence. Men who were starting their ‘careers’ in their shadow were forming into new generation of mafiosi; they had initiative, and the road to leadership of a cosca had suddenly become quicker and available to those who were fast with their tommy-guns. One of these upstarts was Tommaso Buscetta, another was Gerlando Alberti.Ties with politics
The new generation of mafiosi like <mask>a needed to create a new political base of their own, pushing forward new politicians through which they could influence control over regional corporations, credit banks and circumvent building regulations. <mask> <mask> had connections with local politicians of the Christian Democrat party (DC - Democrazia Cristiana) – in particular with Salvo Lima, the mayor of Palermo from 1958-1963. In 1964, during an investigation, Lima had to admit that he knew <mask> <mask>. According to Buscetta, Lima’s father, Vincenzo Lima, was a "man of honour" of the Palermo Centro Mafia family that was led by the <mask> brothers. Lima's election was supported by the La Barbera clan. Their candidate in the national parliament was Giovanni Gioia. Lima’s period as mayor of Palermo was later referred to as the "Sack of Palermo" because the construction boom led to the destruction of the city's green belt and villas that gave it architectural grace, to make way for characterless and shoddily constructed apartment blocks.In the meantime Palermo’s historical centre was allowed to crumble. The La Barbera's were connected to the leading construction entrepreneur Francesco Vassallo. In five years, 4,000 building licences were signed, more than half of them in the names of three pensioners who acted as front men and had no connection with construction at all. Heroin trafficking

 Barbera brothers were present at a series of meetings between top American and Sicilian mafiosi that took place in Palermo between October 12–16, 1957, in hotel Delle Palme in Palermo. Joseph Bonanno, Lucky Luciano, John Bonventre, Frank Garofalo, Santo Sorge and Carmine Galante were among the American mafiosi present, while among the Sicilian side there were Salvatore "Ciaschiteddu" Greco and his cousin Salvatore Greco "The Engineer", Giuseppe Genco Russo, Gaetano Badalamenti, Calcedonio Di Pisa and Tommaso Buscetta. One of the issues at the meetings was the organisation of heroin trafficking to the United States. In 1960 <mask> <mask> was spotted in Mexico City and subsequently expelled from the United States and Canada for allegedly organising trafficking in heroin.According to Buscetta, <mask>a tried to smuggle heroin from Mexico into the US, but was stopped by Carlo Gambino, the boss of the powerful Gambino crime family in New York City, who threatened to kill him if he would proceed. On the Commission
<mask> <mask> became a member of the first Sicilian Mafia Commission when it was set up somewhere in 1958. However, the La Barbera’s soon ran into trouble with the Commission, when the contractor Moncada (formerly La Barbera’s patron) complained before the Commission that the La Barberas overcharged him on building supplies. The Commission decided in Moncada’s favour and ordered <mask> <mask> to give up the leadership of the Palermo Centro family—which he refused to do. <mask> <mask> refused to recognize the authority of the Commission over his family altogether. First Mafia War
The <mask> brothers were the protagonists in a bloody conflict between rival clans in Palermo in the early 1960s. Known as the First Mafia War—a second started in the early 1980s—the struggle was about wresting control of Palermo’s rackets in the markets, sale of building-sites, construction and heroin trade to North America from the older Mafia.The conflict erupted over an underweight shipment of heroin.

 Ciaculli and the La Barbera brothers had financed the shipment. Suspicion fell on Calcedonio Di Pisa, who had collected the heroin for Manzella from the Corsican supplier, Pascal Molinelli, and had organised the transport to Manzella’s partners in New York. The case was brought before the Mafia Commission, but disagreement on how to handle it, and old hostility towards the La Barberas, led to a bloody conflict, between clans allied with the Grecos, headed by Salvatore Greco "Ciaschiteddu", and clans allied with the La Barberas. What sparked a series of attacks and counter-attacks was the killing of Di Pisa on December 26, 1962. The Grecos suspected Salvatore and <mask> <mask> of the attack, although the one behind it was in fact another mafioso, Michele Cavataio, as he tried to pit the Grecos and La Barberas against one another for his own goals. On January 17, 1963, <mask> <mask> disappeared and was never heard of again.<mask> <mask> also disappeared, but two weeks later he reappeared in Milan, in the north of Italy, giving a press conference. The involvement of the media in Mafia affairs was unheard of at the time. Meanwhile <mask> tried to retaliate, but the rival clans were closing in. On May 25, 1963, he was shot in Milan and severely wounded. He was arrested in the hospital. Buscetta admits to having accepted a contract to kill <mask> <mask>, but claims that someone else carried out the shooting in Milan before he could. On June 30, 1963, a car bomb in Ciaculli killed seven police and military officers sent to defuse it after an anonymous phone call.The outrage over the Ciaculli massacre changed the Mafia war into a war against the Mafia. It prompted the first concerted anti-Mafia efforts by the state in post-war Italy. The Sicilian Mafia Commission was dissolved and of those mafiosi who had escaped arrest many went abroad. Trial and death
<mask> <mask> was charged with seven murders. He was one of the few mafiosi who received a heavy sentence at the Trial of the 114 against the Mafia in Catanzaro in December 1968. He

In May 1970, a government decree established that defendants whose sentences had not yet become final after they had been held without bail for four to six years had to be released provisionally pending their appeals.<mask> was one of the benefactors and had to post USD 1,400 bail. Pending the appeal, he was sent into banishment in the North of Italy and later to Linosa, a remote island off the coast of Sicily. When he was finally locked up in a prison in Perugia in 1975 three mafiosi stabbed him to death on October 28, 1975. By then his power and influence had declined sharply. The Mafia family he had led was dissolved. According to newspaper reports the murder was probably ordered by the Greco cousins. Mafia expert and journalist Michele Pantaleone claimed that <mask> was eliminated because he might have threatened to reveal involvement of politicians with the Mafia.Biography

<mask> () is a politician in Serbia. He served in the National Assembly of Serbia continuously from 2001 to 2018. <mask> is a member of the Social Democratic Party of Serbia (SDPS). Early life and career
<mask> was born in Goražde, then part of the People's Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia, and is of Bosniak origin. His family were Partisans in World War II; his father was subsequently a professional truck driver and his mother a homemaker. Raised in Goražde, <mask> moved to Belgrade in 1978 and graduated from the University of Belgrade Faculty of Political Sciences in 1983 with a focus in international affairs. Political career
Politically active from a young age, <mask> worked for the presidency of the Central Committee of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia (CC SKJ) from 1985 until the infamous 14th Congress of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia in 1990.An opponent of Slobodan Milošević at the congress, he was subsequently a candidate of Vesna Pešić's Civic Alliance of Serbia in the 1992 Serbian parliamentary election, appearing in the thirty-third position on the party's electoral list in Belgrade. The party did not cross the electoral threshold to win any mandates. <mask> was a founding member of Social Democracy in 1997 and appeared in the second position on the party's electoral list for Kraljevo in the 1997 Serbian election. Once again, the party did not cross the electoral threshold. In 2000, <mask> emerged as a prominent critic of the Milošević regime, working organize anti-government rallies and to unite opposition parties into the Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS). Member of the National Assembly

Social Democracy (2001–02)
Serbia's electoral system was reformed for the 2000 parliamentary election, with the entire country becoming a single electoral division; as before, members were elected by proportional representation. <mask> received the ninety-fifth position on the Democratic Opposition of Serbia's list and was awarded a mandate after the list won a landslide victory with 176 out of 250 seats.(From 2000 to 2011, parliamentary mandates were awarded to sponsoring parties or

 coalitions rather than to individual candidates and were often distributed out of numerical order. <mask> did not automatically receive a mandate by virtue of his position on the list, but he was included in the DOS's assembly delegation all the same.) In April 2001, <mask> indicated that a deputy from the far-right Serbian Radical Party had used an ethnic slur against him in an assembly debate. Social Democracy split into two factions in May 2001, after <mask> and several others accused party leader Vuk Obradović of sexually harassing a female colleague. Obradović's faction attempted to purge <mask> from the party, without success. <mask> became secretary of the anti-Obradović faction and successfully petitioned the Serbian justice ministry to recognize Slobodan Orlić as party leader pending a resolution as to which group held the legal right to the name. In April 2002, <mask>'s wing of Social Democracy merged into a new group called the Social Democratic Party (not to be confused with another party of the same name founded in 2014).Social Democratic Party (2002–07)
In May 2002, <mask> represented the Social Democratic Party in talks between the DOS and the Kosovo Serb Return Coalition on the latter's future in Kosovo politics. He later advocated for the Democratic Opposition of Serbia to support Dragoljub Mićunović in the December 2002 Serbian presidential election. (Mićunović did not run in this campaign, although he was a candidate in the subsequent 2003 election.) <mask> chaired the Serbian assembly's committee for inter-ethnic relations in 2003. In August of that year, he stated that Albanian terrorist groups in Kosovo were undertaking ethnic cleansing against Serbs and other non-Albanians and urged the United Nations Security Council to take meaningful action to ensure "the disarmament of all those who have weapons and unlawfully carry them, as well as the undertaking of measures to protect all ethnic communities, especially the Serbs." The Social Democratic Party contested the 2003 Serbian parliamentary election as part of an alliance led by the G17 Plus party. <mask> received the 163rd position on the alliance's electoral list (which was

 mostly arranged in alphabetical order) and, when the list won thirty-four mandates, was one of three Social Democratic Party candidates selected to serve in the assembly.The following month, he announced that the Social Democratic Party members would leave the G17 Plus parliamentary group to sit as independents, although he rejected the suggestion that this was due to a rift between the parties. The SDP initially aligned itself with G17 Plus in supporting the coalition government led by Vojislav Koštunica. <mask> continued to serve on the assembly committee for inter-ethnic relations in the new parliament. He defended of the rights Kosovo Serbs following the 2004 ethnic unrest in the disputed territory. In December 2004, the three Social Democratic Party MPs and the delegates of the Socialist Party of Serbia were the only assembly members to vote against a bill granting the same rights to Chetnik as to Partisan World War II veterans. These two parties later took part in negotiations for a merger; during this time, <mask> recommended that the new party take the name of the Social Democratic Party, as the Socialist Party name was tarnished by its association with the Milošević era. Ultimately, the merger did not happen.The Social Democratic Party refused to support the Koštunica government's bills on pensions and oil industry in August 2005, and <mask>, along with one of his SDP colleagues, moved into opposition (the third SDP deputy continued to support the government and left the party). In December of the same year, both SDP members joined a new parliamentary group called "For European Serbia." From the opposition benches, <mask> spoke against the Koštunica government's privatization agenda. Sandžak Democratic Party (2007–09)
<mask> subsequently left the Social Democratic Party and joined the Sandžak Democratic Party, a Bosniak party led by Rasim Ljajić. The party contested the 2007 Serbian parliamentary election on the list of the Democratic Party, and <mask> received the 180th position; as before, the list was mostly alphabetical. He was again chosen for an assembly position when the list won sixty-four mandates and, as before, served as an

 opposition member. In September 2007, he accused the rival List for Sandžak alliance of creating an "international scandal" by banning a FoNet journalist from an event in Novi Pazar.He later blamed both elements in Koštunica's government and Sulejman Ugljanin's Party of Democratic Action of Sandžak for growing unrest in the Sandžak region. In October 2007, <mask> accused Serbian police of failing to protect the rights of Muslims in Loznica, following an attack on a home where Muslim ceremonies were performed. He was quoted as saying, "The perpetrators of the act are unknown, while the police have said that they will suspend the investigation, and have advised Muslims in the area to simply put bars up on the doors and windows of buildings where ceremonies are performed. It is sending the signal that Muslims are not welcome here." The Sandžak Democratic Party contested the 2008 Serbian parliamentary election on the Democratic Party's For a European Serbia alliance list, and <mask> received the 154th position. The alliance won 102 out of 250 mandates to emerge as the largest party in the assembly, and <mask> was again awarded a mandate, serving for his fourth term. After the election, he represented the Sandžak Democratic Party in negotiations for a new government; the party ultimately joined a coalition ministry led by the Democratic Party.Tensions remained high between the Sandžak Democratic Party and Sulejman Ugljanin's party during this period, and <mask> was a frequent critic of the latter group. He also accused Sandžak Mufti Muamer Zukorlić of seeking to inflame divisions between Bosniaks and Serbs in the region. <mask> chaired the committee on labour and social affairs during this sitting of the assembly. In January 2009, he took part in talks for co-operation between the Sandžak Democratic Party and Bulgaria's Movement for Rights and Freedoms, a party representing the interests of Turks in Bulgaria and Bulgarian Muslims.

 continuing to operate in the Sandžak as a regional ally. <mask> was a founding member of the new party and served in parliament under its banner from 2009 to 2018. He remains a member of the Sandžak Democratic Party at the regional level.In January 2010, <mask> encouraged the Serbian parliament to pass a resolution on the 1995 Srebrenica massacre as a means of promoting reconciliation in the region. He later welcomed a ruling from the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia that identified the massacre as constituting genocide. He supported Serbia's bid to join the European Union and, during this time, argued in favour of the country joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). He served on the assembly's defence and security committee and, in August 2010, strongly argued against regional politicians promoted the idea of renewing Sandžak's autonomy and possibly annexing the region to Bosnia and Herzegovina. <mask> strongly opposed a 2011 bill allowing members of the Axis-aligned Hungarian Army in Vojvodina during World War II to claim compensation or restitution for properties nationalized by Yugoslavia's communist authorities between 1945 and 1968. He was quoted as saying that he did not want "the collaborators of the occupiers and losers in World War II to be rehabilitated." Serbia's electoral system was reformed once again in 2011, such that parliamentary mandates were awarded in numerical order to candidates on successful lists.<mask> received the fortieth position on the Democratic Party–led Choice for a Better Life list in the 2012 parliamentary election and was re-elected when the list won sixty-seven mandates. Following the election, the SDPS joined a new coalition government led by the Serbian Progressive Party and the Socialist Party of Serbia. Alliance with the Progressive Party (2012–present)
After the 2012 election, <mask> became the chair of the assembly's human rights committee and a member of Serbia's delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE PA). He paid tribute to veteran Serbian human rights activist Vojin Dimitrijević following the latter's

texts: death in 2012, saying that Serbia had "lost a great man, a big fighter for civic society and for the state of law in which there would be no second-class citizens." He later condemned interim Bosniac National Council president Esad Džudžević's call for Bosniaks to drop the Serbian suffixes -ić and -vić from their names, saying, "Džudžević has every right to call himself whatever he likes; he can change or shorten his family name, but to dictate to a whole nation to change their family names is repression. [..] This only shows a sick desire to be present in the media at all costs [...] From this day, he is the champion of nonsense." The SDPS contested the 2014 parliamentary election on the Progressive Party's Aleksandar Vučić — Future We Believe In list.<mask> received the eightieth position on the list and was re-elected when it won a landslide victory with 158 mandates. Following the election, he supported a government bill to criminalize unauthorized participation in international conflicts, saying, "Given the recent experience of several young people, Bosniaks from Sandžak, participating in the Syrian conflict and returning homes in coffins, we assessed that it was the right moment for Serbia to introduce this criminal offence so that all those who do this in the future are prosecuted for it." <mask> continued to serve as chair of the human rights committee (renamed as the human and minority rights and gender equality committee) and was vocal in his support of the rights of the LGBT population of Serbia. In late 2014, he condemned pamphlets from the ultra-right group Serbian Action attacking Serbia's Roma population. During the 2016 parliamentary election campaign, <mask> condemned Sulejman Ugljanin for requesting that the United Nations Security Council send international forces to the Sandžak to "protect the Bosniak people in this part of Serbia." <mask> was quoted as saying, "Ugljanin has in the crudest possible way abused the [Bosniac National Council], put it into the function of his sick desire to preserve a bit of some sort of power, at the cost of spreading fear. This insane call is only a confirmation that the man has lost all contact with

 reality.The rhetoric of representing the situation in Sandžak as a place ruled by terror, repression and assimilation is seriously sick, but also very dangerous." <mask> was promoted to the seventieth position on the Progressive Party–led electoral list in the 2016 election and was returned for a seventh term when the list won a second consecutive majority with 131 mandates. He continued to chair the committee on human and minority rights and gender equality in this sitting of parliament and was a member of the security services control committee; a deputy member of the committee on administrative, budgetary, mandate, and immunity issues; a member of Serbia's delegation to the OSCE PA; the head of Serbia's parliamentary friendship group with Iran; and a member of the parliamentary friendship groups with Austria, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, China, and Indonesia. <mask> resigned from the assembly on 17 July 2018, after having been arrested the previous month for failing to pay for cosmetics at an airport shop in Frankfurt, Germany. In the aftermath of the incident, <mask> said that he had left the shop due to the sudden onset of a serious health issue, that he did not initially realize he was still holding the items, and that he returned to the shop intending to purchase them, at which time he was arrested. He was also reported to have called for diplomatic immunity on being arrested; this was seen as a source of embarrassment for the Serbian government, but <mask> has said that he never made this request. Fellow parliamentarian Đorđe Vukadinović noted that Omerović had faced strong pressure to resign prior to announcing his decision.<mask> has been a member of the Assembly of the City of Belgrade.

title: Jimmy Bivins

texts:
<mask>, (December 6, 1919 – July 4, 2012) was an American heavyweight boxer whose professional career ran from 1940 to 1955. He was born in Dry Branch, Georgia. Although he was never given the opportunity to fight for a world title, despite at one point being the number one contender in both the light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions, Bivins fought and defeated many of the great fighters of his era and won the "Duration" Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight titles. In recognition of his achievements in the ring - among other things, he defeated eight of the eleven world champions he faced - <mask> was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1999. He was also the one-time husband of Dollree Mapp, the subject of prominent Supreme Court case regarding the rights of search and seizures. Boxing career
Although he was born in Georgia, <mask> fought out of Cleveland, Ohio for the entirety of his career. He made his professional debut on January 15, 1940, winning by knockout in the first round, and went on to win his first nineteen fights, all fought in 1940, before losing a split decision to Anton Christoforidis, whom he had previously beaten.<mask> won his first four fights of 1941, including contests with Teddy Yarosz and Curtis Sheppard, but lost three of his other four contests that year, which included a points loss to Melio Bettina. He began 1942 with wins against Billy Soose and Gus Lesnevich and a split-decision loss to Bob Pastor. After this loss, <mask> had a twenty-seven fight undefeated streak that lasted for four years; it was during this period that <mask> established himself as one of the great heavyweights of his era - a remarkable achievement given that, at 5' 9", he was often significantly smaller than his opponents. Bivins first fight after losing to Pastor was a split-decision win against Joey Maxim, a fellow Cleveland fighter who went on to become a member of the hall of fame. Bivins fought four more contests in 1942, including

texts: a rematch with Bob Pastor and a bout with Lee Savold, and won them all. He began 1943 with a remarkable win against Ezzard Charles, in which he recorded seven knockdowns against the future heavyweight world champion. On February 23, 1943 he defeated Anton Christoforidis on points for the duration light heavyweight title - as all the world titles had been frozen for the duration of World War II, this was the closest he ever came to holding a world title.In the three years after this fight <mask> went on to defeat Tami Mauriello, Pat Valentino, Lloyd Marshall, Melio Bettina, Curtis Sheppard and Archie Moore, whom he knocked-down six times en route to a knockout victory. Bivins served with the United States Army from March, 1944 until his honorable discharge in November of the same year - during 1944 he fought only one professional fight, a points victory over Lee Q. Murray. On February 25, 1946 Bivins fought Jersey Joe Walcott at the Cleveland Arena. The fight was <mask>' first loss in four years, the split decision was interesting in that one official had the fight 6-4 to Bivins, the second had it 9-1 to Walcott and the last had it 5-4-1 to <mask> but gave the fight to Walcott because of a third round knockdown in his favour. After losing his long unbeaten streak, <mask>' record as a fighter became somewhat average. After his loss to Walcott, <mask> went on to lose his next two contests, against Lee Q. Murray and Ezzard Charles, before winning the following four. <mask> suffered a knockout loss to Ezzard Charles on March 10, 1947 and went on to lose a further two of his final seven fights that year, to Lee Q. Murray and Archie Moore.He went on to win six of his nine fights in 1948, losing only to Joey Maxim, Ezzard Charles and Archie Moore. In 1949 he won five of his eight fights, but lost to both Archie Moore and Harold Johnson. He only fought twice in 1950, but returned to fighting regularly the following year. In 1951 he defeated Ted Lowry on points, but

 that she had only had marital relations with Władysław-Jogaila. After all witnesses confirmed her oath, Gniewosz of Dalewice confessed that he had lied. She did not take vengeance on him. Strife with Sigismund (1392–95)

Jadwiga's brother-in-law, Sigismund, who had been crowned King of Hungary, started negotiations with the Teutonic Knights about partitioning Poland in early 1392.<mask> met Mary in Stará Ľubovňa in May and returned to Kraków only in early July. She most probably accompanied her husband to Lithuania, according to Oscar Halecki, because she was far from Kraków till the end of August. On 4 August, Władysław-Jogaila's cousin, Vytautas, who had earlier fled from Lithuania to the Teutonic Knights, paid homage to Władysław-Jogaila near Lida in Lithuania on 4 August. Negotiations between Sigismund and the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights, Konrad von Wallenrode, continued with the mediation of Vladislaus of Opole. However, Hungary's southern border was exposed to Ottoman incursions, preventing Sigismund from taking military measures against Poland. Wallenrode died on 25 July 1393. His successor, Konrad von Jungingen, opened negotiations with the Poles.During the discussions, Pope Boniface IX's legate, John of Messina, supported the Poles. Jadwiga was a skilful mediator, famed for her impartiality and intelligence. She went to Lithuania to reconcile her brother-in-law, Skirgaila, with Vytautas in October 1393. Relations between Poland and Hungary remained tense. Sigismund invaded Moldavia, forcing Stephen I of Moldavia to accept

<mask> had done everything from selling illegal pornography to running pump and dump schemes on Wall Street. Over the years he had been a loanshark, bookmaker, drug trafficker and contract killer for which he took part in the gangland slayings of six men including his cousin's drug dealer Michael "The Bear" Aiello and the notorious murders of Bonanno captains Alphonse Indelicato, Dominick Trinchera and Philip Giaccone. On May 5, 1981, Massino loyalists shot and killed Giaccone, Trinchera, and Indelicato in a Brooklyn night club. On the pretext of working out a peace agreement, Massino had invited them to meet with him at the 20/20 Night Club in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.However, Massino's real plan was to assassinate the capos. The ambush was set in the club store room, with Salvatore Vitale and three other gunmen wearing ski masks hiding in a closet. One of the gunmen was mobster Vito Rizzuto, who came from Montreal, Quebec, Canada with another Canadian mobster to help Massino. Massino told the men to avoid shooting so that bullets wouldn't spray around the room. Massino also brought drop cloths and ropes for disposing of the bodies afterwards. When the capos arrived at the 20/20, Massino and Bonanno mobster Gerlando Sciascia and <mask> escorted them to the store room. As the men entered the room, Sciascia brushed his hand through his hair, giving the prearranged signal.Vitale and gunmen rushed out of the closet, with Rizzuto yelling "it's a hold-up". Massino immediately punched Giaccone, knocking him to the floor, and also stopping Indelicato from escaping. Giaconne got up and tried to run out of the room, but was blocked up against a wall with Trinchera.

 The gunmen killed Giaccone with a volley of submachine gun fire. The three capos were unarmed, as was the rule when attending a peace meeting. <mask>, who had escaped, was brought instead of Indelicato's son, but was quickly won over to Massino's side. After the killings, the Bonanno gunmen transported the three bodies to a lot in Lindenwood, Queens, in an area known as The Hole.The lot was a Gambino mob graveyard; Gambino crime family capo John Gotti arranged for his men to bury the bodies there as a favor to Massino. A few weeks later, on May 28, authorities discovered Indelicato's body and removed it from the lot. In October 2004, after some children reported finding a body in the Lindenwood lot, FBI agents excavated the property and discovered the bodies of Giaccone and Trinchera. Among the personal items they unearthed was a Piaget watch that had belonged to Giaccone's wife. In December 2004, the bodies were positively identified as Giaccone and Trinchera. On June 23, 2005, Massino, then a government witness to avoid the death penalty, pleaded guilty to several murders including those of Giaccone, Trinchera, and Indelicato. He received two life sentences in prison.On May 4, 2007, after being extradited to the United States, Rizzuto pleaded guilty in a Brooklyn court to reduced charges in the murder of three capos and was sentenced to ten years in state prison.

However, Vitale could not only corroborate Coppa's testimony, but could also implicate him in three other murders.<mask> quickly realized that Vitale's testimony could potentially send him to prison for life. When the Bonanno defense team told Massino and <mask> about Vitale's defection, <mask> recalled thinking, "This meeting is a funeral and I'm dead." He secretly got word to prosecutors that he was willing to flip as well, though he feared Massino could order his children and grandchildren killed if word got out. After 81 days in solitary confinement for his own protection, <mask> formally agreed to become an informant. As part of the deal, he revealed everyone he knew was either a made man or an associate—including his own son. <mask>'s testimony implicated Massino in four homicides and featured the first full eyewitness account of the murder of the three captains.

While many movies in film noir have predictable plots, The Running Man featured a plot that was unpredictable, which was its best asset.The film's finale saw Lee Remick standing wearily on a dock, looking at a departing boat with the Rock of Gibraltar looming in the background. <mask> went into an adaptation of Harold Pinter's The Caretaker (1963) with Donald Pleasence and Robert Shaw.

<mask> (born <mask>, 6 April 1911 – 25 October 1970) was a Cuban singer-songwriter and guitarist who popularized the guajira style of Cuban music from the 1930s through the 1960s. His languid, melancholy, intensely lyrical guajiras and his elegant, stylish singing made him popular throughout Latin America, where he is still revered. Discussion of basic data
His father was José Quesada y Perez from Casteiro Oreste Spain and his mother was Marcela Estefania Castillo y Rodriguez from Vueltas Cuba. His birthplace was Rodas in the old province of Santa Clara (Las Villas). In what is now the Province of Cienfuegos. He grew up in Cienfuegos. His father died when he was about 8 years old, his mother then remarried a man whose last name was <mask> (the director of the Hospital in Cienfuegos), thus where his "stage name" came from.Portabales was married to a woman named Araminta and had a son Named <mask>. Portabales had a brother named Manuel Eleuterio Quesada y Castillo. His brother was married to Sylvia Ester Ramirez y Gonzalez, who had four children Manuel Antonio Quesada (born in Caracas Venezuela in 1955), <mask> Quesada (Born in Caracas Venezuela in 1957), Sylvia Mercedes Quesada (Born in Caracas Venezuela in 1958) and Reynaldo Quesada (Born in Miami Florida in 1960). As for his birthdate, Helio Orovio, in the original Cuban edition of 1981, left Portabales out entirely. In the usual Soviet-style way, any opponents of the revolution get 'painted out' of history; but Portabales had left Cuba years before the Castro revolution, and most such people still retained their place in official Cuban history. Portabales had even recorded an album for Gema in Cuba in 1960, after the revolution but before Egrem took over

 all recording rights in Cuba. The later English translation reinstated such 'enemies of the state' as Celia Cruz (who was a determined opponent of the regime) and Portabales, giving 6 April 1914 as his date of birth.Cristobal Díaz Ayala gives 6 April 1911. The date and place of his death also vary in sources. Orovio's English edition says 1961. This is definitely incorrect, because there are at least three recording session whose dates are later in the 1960s: in 1962/3 in Miami; in 1967/8 in New York, issued on Gema 3070 Viva Portabales; and, above all, in October 1970 in Puerto Rico, just a few days before his death (issued Gema 3086 Sones cubanos: <mask> con Los Guaracheros de Oriente). This simple refutation throws doubt upon Orovio's other data, and has led to a general acceptance of Cristobal Díaz's version of 25 October 1970. He did indeed die on 25 October 1970 while crossing a street in Puerto Rico late at night. He used to perform at a restaurant called Las Palmas in Isla Verde, Puerto Rico and while leaving the restaurant he was hit by a car and dragged several feet.As for location, Orovio says Isla Verde, Cuba and Díaz says San Juan, Puerto Rico. It is almost unbelievable that the two versions should be so different, and again, it seems right to prefer Díaz, especially as the best-known Isla Verde is in Puerto Rico. Both agree that he died in a traffic accident; he was apparently hit by a car when leaving a gig at the Las Palmas restaurant. Career
At age 11, <mask> began work as a printer's assistant in Cienfuegos. In 1928, he made his radio debut on the station CMHI, and from then on divided his time between his work as a printer and performing. In the beginning, Portabales sang a variety of

 styles — canción, tango, bolero, son — until he discovered that his listeners enjoyed the guajira the most. He thereby refined the style and developed his signature salon guajira style in which he depicted in bucolic terms the life of the Cuban guajiro (the rural campesino).In typical trovadore fashion, Portabales sang and played guitar, sometimes accompanied by a small group. His guajiras have a gentle, lilting rhythm, sometimes mixing with elements of the son or the bolero. <mask> continued to perform and perfect the guajira until he went to Puerto Rico in 1937. There he became enamoured of the neighboring island and stayed there for two years, singing in theaters, clubs and on the radio. In 1939, he married Puerto Rican Arah Mina López, a journalist who joined him as he returned to Cuba in 1939. Over the years they toured together in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Panama, New York City, and Tampa. After returning to Havana, Portabales performed on stage and radio with the Trio Matamoros.He also made a successful tour of United States and took an extended stay in Barranquilla, Colombia. In 1953, <mask> finally settled for good in Puerto Rico, where he continued to record and perform, with occasional tours of the continent. During the 1960s, he expressed his opposition to the Cuban Revolution in several discreetly poetic compositions. Impact
In 2006 the African group Kékélé released an album, Kinavana, that re-Africanized songs Portabales had composed or performed, giving them new lyrics in the Lingala language and playing them in a Congolese style. As a Washington Post writer Mark Jenkins said, the 2006 album "celebrates [<mask>], who died before learning that his music had become popular in Africa."

 Assessment
<mask>' early work is represented on Tumbao TCD 084 <mask>les: El creador de la guajira de salón 1937–1943: Al vaivén de mi carreta. It is this CD, with its liner notes, which may be the source of the incorrect dates.His voice, and particularly his guitar technique, improved greatly with experience. This is quite clear from the recordings in his fifties, represented by World Circuit WCD 023 <mask>, El Carretero. This includes examples from his three recording sessions in the 1960s

For the quality of his voice, its purity and its subtle evocation of emotion, and the exceptionally high calibre of his guitar technique – which is certainly worth attention by young musicians – <mask> must be rated as a performer of the highest calibre even given the unusually high standards of Cuban popular music. His style is on the Spanish side of creole in contrast to many other Cuban trova performers in the 20th century: his music is clearly in the tradition of the old Spanish-descent countryside people, the guajiros. His repertoire was originally wide, but he came to specialize in guajira-sons and laments, together with some guaracha-sons. With his smooth style, he was known as the creator of la guajira de salón. As a composer he was perhaps not so important as his rootsier compatriot, Ñico Saquito, but what he did compose was of high quality, and still is popular.Four of his noteworthy compositions: El carretero; Nostalgia guajira; Cumbiamba; Cuando salí de Cuba.

Chattopadhyay is widely regarded as a key figure in literary renaissance of Bengal as well as the broader Indian subcontinent. Some of his writings, including novels, essays, and commentaries, were a breakaway from traditional verse-oriented Indian writings,
and provided an inspiration for authors across India. Chattopadhyay was born in the village of Kanthalpara in the town of North 24 Parganas, Naihati, in an orthodox Bengali Brahmin family, the youngest of three brothers, to <mask>ya and Durgadebi.His ancestors hailed from Deshmukho village in Hooghly District. His father, a government official, went on to become the Deputy Collector of Midnapur. One of his brothers, Sanjib <mask>y was also a novelist and is known for his book "Palamau". <mask> <mask> and his elder brother both went to Hooghly Collegiate School (then Governmental Zilla School), where he wrote his first poem. He was educated at the Hooghly Mohsin College and later at Presidency College, Kolkata, graduating with a degree in arts in 1858. He later attended the University of Calcutta and was one of two candidates who passed the final exam to become the school's first graduates. He later obtained a degree in law in 1869.Following his father's footsteps, <mask> joined the Subordinate Executive Service. In 1858, he was

 appointed a Deputy Magistrate (the same type of position held by his father) of Jessore. After merging of the services in 1863, he went on to become Deputy Magistrate & Deputy Collector, retiring from government service in 1891. His years at work were replete with incidents that brought him into conflict with the colonial government. He was, however, made a Companion of the Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire (CMEOIE) in 1894. He also received the title of Rai Bahadur in 1891. Literary career

Chattopadhyay's earliest publications were in Ishwar <mask>'s weekly newspaper Sangbad Prabhakar.He began his literary career as a writer of verse before turning to fiction. His first attempt was a novel in Bengali submitted for a declared prize. He did not win and the novelette was never published. His first fiction to appear in print was the English novel Rajmohan's Wife. Durgeshnandini, his first Bengali romance and the first ever novel in Bengali, was published in 1865. One of the many novels of Chattopadhyay that are entitled to be termed as historical fiction is Rajsimha (1881, rewritten and enlarged 1893). Anandamath (The Abbey of Bliss, 1882) is a political novel which depicts a Sannyasi (Hindu ascetic) army fighting a British force.The book calls for the rise of Indian nationalism. The novel was also the source of the song Vande Mataram (I worship my Motherland for she truly is my mother) which, set to music by Rabindranath Tagore, was taken up by many Indian nationalists, and is now the National Song of India. The plot of the novel is loosely set on the Sannyasi Rebellion. He imagined untrained Sannyasi soldiers fighting and defeated the highly experienced British Army; ultimately, however, he accepted that the British could not be

 defeated. The novel first appeared in serial form in Bangadarshan, the literary magazine that Chattopadhyay founded in 1872. Vande Mataram became prominent during the Swadeshi movement, which was sparked by Lord Curzon's attempt to partition Bengal into a Hindu majority West and Muslim majority East. Drawing from the Shakti tradition of Bengali Hindus, Chattopadhyay personified India as a Mother Goddess known as Bharat Mata, which gave the song a Hindu undertone.<mask> was particularly impressed by the historical Gaudiya Vaishnava cultural efflorescence of the 14th and 15th centuries in Bengal. Chattopadhyay's commentary on the Bhagavad Gita was published eight years after his death and contained his comments up to the 19th Verse of Chapter 4. In a long essay on Sankhya philosophy, he argues that the central philosophical foundation of the overwhelming part of religious beliefs in India, including even Buddhism, lies in the philosophy of Sankhya. He was a critique of the philosophy in the sense of its emphasis on personal vairagya (renunciation) rather than political and social power. Meeting with Ramakrishna
<mask> was highly educated and influenced by Oriental thoughts and ideas. Ramakrishna in contrast, did not had knowledge of English. Yet they had a nice relation between them.Once Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa, playing on the meaning of <mask> (Bent A Little), asked him what it was that had bent him. <mask> <mask> jokingly replied that it was the kick from the Englishman's shoe for he was a well-known critic of the British government. Legacy
Tagore penned in the memory of his mentor:
"<mask> <mask> had equal strength in both his hands, he was a true sabyasachi (ambidextrous). With one hand, he created literary works of excellence; and
