De hecho, el personaje de Vito Corleone tiene grandes similitudes con Willie Moretto o Lucky Luciano, personajes reales de la maa italiana. El trmino Maa aparece por primera vez en 1863 en Palermo, cuando se presenta un drama popular de Giuseppe Rizzoto y Gaetano Mosca titulado I mausi di la Vicara. Segn diferentes historiadores, la palabra maa sera el acrnimo de la frase: Muerte a Francia, Italia Adelante!, lema acuado por un ejrcito clandestino de campesinos, que resisti a la invasin de Sicilia por parte de Carlos de Anjou en 1282. La Maa, tambin llamada La Cosa Nostra, en su origen provena de una agrupacin siciliana dedicada a la justicia vigilante y a la proteccin de la ley. La manera de operar de una maa se asemeja mucho a la de una empresa donde existe una jerarqua. Sus miembros se denominaban a s mismos con el nombre de maosi, es decir, hombres de honor. Los distintos clanes maosos emplean una serie de cdigos de honor, inviolables, tales como: for the first time I'm back don't let yourself get beaten or anything like that let's go there I'm going to make you an offer you can't refuse paragraph come on, team! I love (doing) it The author Mario Puzo, when he was writing his novel The Godfather, based it on reality. In fact, the character Vito Corleone has many similarities with Willie Moretto or Lucky uciano, real personalities from the Italian maa. The term maa appeared for the rst time in 1863 in Palermo, when Giuseppe Rizzoto and Gaetano Moscas popular drama titled I mausi di Vicara was presented. According to various historians, the word maa was an acronym for the phrase Death to France, Forward Italy! motto adopted by a secret rural militia which resisted against the invasion of Sicily by Charles dAnjou in 1282. The maa, also called La Cosa Nostra, originally came from a Sicilian group dedicated to vigilante justice and the protection of the law. The way a maa operates is similar to a business with a hierarchy. The different maa clans use a series of inviolable codes of honor, such as: never shoot someone in the back, or similar actions.

Cabe destacar que no hay un jefe absoluto de toda la Maa, la organizaci on est dividida en Familias, y dentro de cada una se distinguen por orden jerrquico: el jefe o Don; los consejeros o Consiglieri que tienen el puesto ms ventajoso por ser los consejeros del Don y su mano derecha; y bajo stos los Sotto Capo. En Estados Unidos, la Maa se propaga con la llegada de inmigrantes italianos a comienzos del siglo XX. En la poca de los aos 20 con la Ley Seca, diferentes organizaciones toman poder y se enriquecen. En los aos 40 y 50, la Cosa Nostra se expandi a ambos lados del Atlntico y se convirti en el poder que estuvo detrs de la creacin de lo que hoy es la ciudad de Las Vegas. En los aos 80 pierde fuerza, pero siempre sigue inuenciando la cultura norteamericana creando una cultura que ha sido plasmada en pelculas, series de televisin e incluso novelas. Segn un estudio publicado el ao pasado, el 20% de los negocios en Italia todava est controlado por la maa, obteniendo anualmente unos benecios de 13.000 millones de euros. y no morirse en el intento vas a ir de plano al suelo exactamente lo que me pas al da siguiente coger velocidad / impulso me tir de un lado las otras personas que s saben esquiar cuando coges un bache similar actions. Its important to note that there is no one absolute head of the entire Maa; the organization is divided into families, and within each one there is a hierarchy: the boss or Don, the advisers or consiglieri, who have the most advantageous position of being the advisers of the Don and his right hand; and beneath them are the sotto capo. In the United States, the maa was spread by the arrival of Italian immigrants at the beginning of the 20th Century. During the 20s, with Prohibition, different organizations took power and got rich. In the 40s and 50s, the Cosa Nostra expanded to both sides of the Atlantic and became the power which was behind the development of what is today the city of Las Vegas. In the 80s they lost their inuence, but they are still inuencing North American culture, creating a culture which has been featured in lms, television series, and novels. According to a study published last year, 20% of the businesses in Italy are still controlled by the maa, earning annual benets of 13 billion euros. and not die in the attempt you're going to fall flat on your face exactly what happened to me the next day pick up speed / momentum I threw myself to one side the other people who do know how to see when you hit a dip

42 Cmo es que tiene tanto dinero? Yo crea que Warren Buett era el hombre ms rico del mundo. No, Warren Buett es el tercero. Bill Gates es fundador de Microsoft y atesora una fortuna de 50.000 millones de dlares. Ahora se ha retirado de sus responsabilidades al frente de Microsoft para centrarse en su fundacin dedicada a obras lantrpicas. Entonces, es un hombre que ha donado su dinero para ayudar a los ms necesitados. Qu proyectos o fundaciones son las que apoya? Pues, le que desde el ao 2000 se estima que ha dedicado 29.000 millones de dlares, ms de la mitad de su capital, a nanciar la fundacin que preside junto a su esposa Melinda, concentrada en la lucha contra las enfermedades infecciosas y las mejoras educativas. Tambin vi en las noticias que Warren Buett haba donado casi 30.000 millones de dlares a varias fundaciones. S, de hecho don casi el 80% de su fortuna, es decir, unos 37.000 millones de dlares, siendo sta la donacin individual ms grande hecha en la historia de Estados Unidos. Esta donacin se hizo a cinco fundaciones. La ms beneciada fue la Fundacin de los Gates, la mayor organizacin no gubernamental del mundo, con lo que doblar su actual tamao. Entonces le voy a escribir para pedirle una donacin de un milloncito a mi fundacin, la B.M.M.P.A.M. Qu? Cul es la fundacin B.M.M.P.A.M? La fundacin de Benditas Mujeres con un Mximo de Paciencia para Aguantar Why is it that he has so much money? I thought that Warren Buffett was the richest man in the world. No, Warren Buffett is the third. Bill Gates is the founder of Microsoft and he has amassed a fortune of 50 billion dollars. Now he has retired from his responsibilities as head of Microsoft in order to concentrate on his charity foundation. So, hes a man who has donated a lot of money to help the needy. Which projects or foundations are the ones that he supports? Well, I read that since 2000 its been estimated that hes dedicated 29 billion dollars, more than half of his money, to nance the foundation that he co-chairs with his wife Melinda, focusing on the ght against infectious diseases, and educational reform. Ive also seen in the news that Warren Buffett had donated around 30 billion dollars to various foundations. Yes, in fact he donated almost 80% of his fortune, which is to say, some 37 billion dollars, this being the biggest individual donation ever made in the history of the United States. He gave this donation to ve foundations. The biggest recipient was the Gates Foundation, the biggest nongovernmental organization in the world, which doubled their present size. So then Im going to write him to ask for a donation of a cool million to my foundation, the BMMPAM foundation. Oh? Whats the BMMPAM foundation?

La diferencia entre el zodaco y el horscopo chino es... Esprate, esprate, ahora me vas a empezar a explicar la diferencia entre los horscopos... por favor, si yo no creo en esas cosas, a m qu me importa. Oye, oye, tranqui to, que t me has preguntado lo que haca. Bueno pues, no te enojes. A ver cuntamelo. Mira, el zodaco ordena sus doce signos en base al mes de nacimiento y el calendario solar, mientras que el chino ordena sus doce signos teniendo en cuenta el ao en el que has nacido y el calendario lunar. En resumen, es la misma gata no ms que revolcada, jajaja. Porque no quiero perder el tiempo explicndote algo que no quieres or. Cuenta la tradicin, que Buda, viendo prxima su muerte, quiso reunir a todos los animales de la Tierra para dejar testimonio de su ltima voluntad. Para su sorpresa, slo se presentaron doce animales ante l. La rata fue la primera en llegar, despus llegaron otros once animales: el buey, el tigre, el conejo, el dragn, la serpiente, el caballo, la cabra, el mono, el gallo, el perro y el cerdo. Como premio a la devocin religiosa que le brindaron, Buda los convirti Husbands. That horoscope crap, where they predict what is going to happen to you the following week according to your zodiac sign, right? Exactly. The difference between the zodiac and the Chinese horoscope is... Hold on, hold on, now youre going to explain to me the difference between the horoscopes... please, if I dont believe in these things, what do I care? Look, calm down, dude, youre the one who asked me what I was doing. Fine, then, dont get mad. Ok, tell me. Look, the zodiac orders its twelve signs based on the month you were born and the solar calendar, while the Chinese one uses its twelve signs keeping in mind the year in which you were born and the lunar calendar. To summarize, its six of one, half a dozen of the other, ha ha. Because I dont want to waste time explaining something you dont want to hear. Tradition says that Buddha, knowing he was about to die, reunited all the animals of the earth to leave them his last will and testament. To his surprise, only twelve animals showed up. The rat was the rst to arrive, and afterwards, eleven more animals showed up: the ox, the tiger, the rabbit, the dragon, the serpent, the horse, the sheep, the monkey, the rooster, the dog, and the pig. To reward their show of religious devotion, Buddha converted them into

Said donor heart is transported in a special solution to the transplant candidate, whose chest cavity will already be opened and and the diseased heart removed Is there a possibility that the organ will be rejected? When we do organ transplants, what happens is that the immune system of the candidate recognizes the transplanted tissue as alien or foreign and it produces antibodies in order to attack the invader For that reason, after organ transplants one must take autoimmune inhibitors and some of them for life lets hope that everything turns out ok get your hands on I've heard that.../I understand that... according to What are you doing that you look so focused?

The political situation of the country and the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War pushed him to a greater political consciousness, fruit of which is one of his best known works: the mural of Guernica. Women and art were two of his passions, dominating his life to the point of confusing themselves with each other. Through the portraits of his women, one can perceive the state of the relationship.
