<mask> is an American actor, author, and speaker from Manhattan, New York. He is known for his acting project of attending a California high school undercover pretending to be a teenager, about which experience he wrote the bestselling nonfiction book High School Confidential. Aside from acting and writing, he speaks to audiences ranging from corporate executives to teenage students about youth and the Millennial Generation. Life
As a child, Iversen attended the elite boarding school Phillips Exeter Academy, attaining cum laude with highest honors, and went on to gain dual degrees in international relations and political science from Stanford University, where he was graduated Phi Beta Kappa with distinction. At Stanford, he served as vice-president of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity, and was in charge of fraternity rush for the entire university. Iversen lived in Mexico and Chile and speaks Spanish with near-native proficiency. Predominantly of Norwegian heritage, he is also a direct descendant of the British inventor and industrialist James Watt, whose steam engine ushered in the global Industrial Revolution.He worked for some time in New York as a runway model, and currently lives in Santa Monica, California. High School Confidential
At age 23, Iversen enrolled undercover at Claremont High School (Claremont, California) with the school's permission, pretending to be an ordinary high school student transferring from another school. The undertaking was partly influenced by Cameron Crowe, who had himself returned to high school undercover one generation prior, to write the book and movie of Fast Times at Ridgemont High. <mask> likewise wrote a book about his experience, titled High School Confidential: Secrets of an Undercover Student. The CBS Corporation's publishing house Simon & Schuster, one of the largest  publishers in the world, released the book in hardcover, trade paperback, and eBook editions. Iversen subsequently appeared on over seventy local and national radio shows reaching millions of listeners, as well as television programs such as Good Morning America, CNN's Showbiz Tonight, Inside Edition, and The View. He was featured in national newsmagazine U.S. News & World Report and pop-culture publication Entertainment Weekly.The Sipchen Scandal
True to his word to the school's administrators, Iversen kept the school's identity secret, and undertook extensive measures to create composite characters of the students and teachers and blur any identifying characteristics of individuals or the school. But the site's carefully protected identity was nationally exposed by the Los Angeles Times. As Iversen appeared in media, he was identified by staff at Claremont High's newspaper, the Wolfpacket, which the L.A. Times gave an ad hoc student journalism award for its exposé, claiming it would be the first of many annual awards—although future awards never occurred. After the award had been given, the L.A. Times'''s Bob Sipchen, who opposed Iversen, then went on to extract quotes from precisely the five students his paper had awarded, even though none of those students had ever met Iversen, getting one ex-Wolfpacket staffer to say that Iversen was "exaggerating everything that happened and blatantly lying about his experience." The only student Sipchen interviewed who actually knew Iversen said that the book was “dead on.”  Sipchen came under attack for his journalistic integrity with this technique, leading pundit Dr. Blogstein to write, “Butter up your sources with prizes and then get quotes to support your opinion. How is that legal?” Shortly thereafter, Sipchen was bought out by Times management to quit and departed to work at the Sierra Club newsletter, of which exit 39-year Times veteran Ken Reich wrote, “Not such a loss is Bob Sipchen, whose ill-informed educational column was the latest in a whole series of assignments he had filled unsuccessfully.”

ReceptionLibrary Journal found High School Confidential "personal, emotional, and well written." John Derbyshire in National Review felt the book had few surprises and its dominant theme was the mediocrity of everyone in the school.Salon acknowledged the book's similarity to Cameron Crowe's earlier work but noted that Iversen was more serious, discussing education policy. Stephanie Zvirin at Booklist wrote that readers "will find themselves wrapped up in the lives of [Iversen's] composite kids. He catches them at their very worst and their best as they rage, dream, and struggle to move on with their lives." Barnes & Noble selected High School Confidential as one of its ten recommended new titles, and called the book "outrageously entertaining," saying, "We give High School Confidential a resounding A+ for its irresistible smarty-pants tone and its surprising revelations about students and teachers alike. "Barnes & Noble A.J. Hammer of CNN's Showbiz Tonight praised the work, and said "really nothing could compare to <mask>'s experience of posing as a student," calling the book "a fascinating read." High School Confidential made the Top 50 at Barnes & Noble—and out of over 2.5 million titles at Amazon.com, it ranked among the Top 100, where customers voted it four out of five stars.rushrush is <mask>'s coming-of-age novel about an American college student's 21st birthday celebration, in which protagonist Bret must take 21 drinks between sunset and dawn. <mask> began writing the book during his freshman year at Stanford in response to an English class assignment, and added to it over subsequent years until the story was complete. A preliminary edition of the novel was released under the title 21. Simon & Schuster published rush in trade paperback and eBook editions. To promote the book's release, <mask> went on a nationwide tour to each of the top 21 party schools on Playboy's annual listing, holding events at every college campus with media attention. The tour also included some extra schools that weren't officially on the "party schools" list, such as Georgetown University and the University of Pennsylvania. Plot
College junior Bret lives a hedonistic lifestyle at a fictional mediocre West Coast college called Poniente University.Fraternity tradition states that he has to take 21 drinks on his birthday night, which coincides with a raging party at his fraternity house. Bret seems to live the perfect life—wealthy, good-looking, and ultra-popular—but as the night moves forward and he gets progressively drunker, he begins to reflect on the long-forgotten decisions that got him to the top of the social pyramid. The action of the book intercuts between the wild fraternity party raging around him and flashbacks to critical moments in his younger life. Progressively it becomes obvious that Bret was once an awkward, science-minded kid who brutally repressed everything authentic about himself in order to fit in. Now he goes through the motions of a hollow existence, unable to admit even to himself the depth of his misery. As his certainties unravel, the night does as well. A fraternity prank goes wrong and propels Bret from his comfort zone into a cross-campus adventure, where he discovers devastating truths about the house president he once idolized.Meanwhile, it becomes clear that the school and society are moving beyond the values that Bret has built his life around: while tech careers have become the hope for a dawning Information Age, his fraternity is a hated and secretly bankrupt enclave slated for demolition. With the help of a beautiful but troubled girl named Caitlin, Bret finds the strength to take a last-ditch stand in an attempt to redeem himself from years of mistakes—before it becomes too late.rush weaves in magic realist elements, from the purportedly Atlantean medallion that Bret wears and obsessively struggles to understand, to the overarching Gnostic mythos of a hostile universe determined to keep the human spirit bound at any cost. ReceptionRT Book Reviews criticized the preliminary edition 21 for being jumbled and "tough to tell what happened when or why it matters." Publishers Weekly found the plot had some "creative turns" but was also often heavy-handed and over-the-top. In contrast, Booklist chose the book as a recommended selection, noting its "of-the-minute cultural references" and writing that "the immediate, unvarnished view will speak directly to many college-bound readers." Likewise, Sharon Morrison at School Library Journal said "readers are given realistic and. . . moving insight into one young man's spiritual soul searching.Even though the setting is a college in California, the message is universal." Joseph DeMarco of KLIATT, while noting the explicit language and sex, wrote that "the novel is humorous and provocative and though some may argue otherwise, young people should read it." Teenreads called rush "lyrical and introspective" and termed it "both a cautionary tale and one of self-discovery." College students themselves responded favorably, with The Daily Pennsylvanian—student paper of  the Ivy League University of Pennsylvania—writing that "Iversen showed that fraternity parties can inspire art." Meanwhile, Katie Haegele at the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that "like a superfun rush event, the book pulls you in….Iversen’s book packs more punch than the detachment of American Psycho.''" Calling the title "compulsively readable," she added that "with its moving images of leaders and followers, teams and coaches, this book speaks intimately to the burdens that weigh on young men." Readers on Amazon have awarded the book four-and-a-half out of five stars.References

<mask> CM (born 2 August 1968) is a Trinidadian former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder, and a coach. In a senior career which spanned more than twenty years at both club and international level, he played in Portugal (eight years with three clubs, most notably Porto) and Scotland (eleven seasons representing four teams, Hibernian, Rangers, Dundee United and Falkirk). Latapy gained 81 caps for the Trinidad and Tobago national team. As a member of the squad that competed at the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, Latapy was awarded the Chaconia Medal (Gold Class), the second highest state decoration of Trinidad and Tobago. Early life
Born in Port of Spain, <mask> was first noted playing organised football at under-10 level. As a youth he played in the Trinidad and Tobago Secondary School's Football League, and was called up to the national under-16 and under-19 teams. When he was 19 years old, Latapy had an opportunity to attend Florida International University, but he chose to continue with his football career.This decision was supported by his mother despite the fact that in the 1980s very few Trinidadians were noted to have had careers in the sport that allowed them to earn a decent living. Club career

Portugal
In 1990, aged 22, after playing in his country and in Jamaica, <mask> moved to Portugal and signed for Académica de Coimbra, playing four years in the second division. During his spell in Coimbra, he appeared in nearly 150 official games, and scored eighteen goals in his last two seasons combined, but the club failed to win promotion. He also credited coach Vítor Manuel as one of the coaches he admired the most. <mask>'s performances with Académica saw him signed by FC Porto. Under Bobby Robson, he helped the club to back-to-back national championships, being used regularly in his second year (twenty-six games, five goals). Also, he earned the distinction of being the first Trinidadian to play in the UEFA Champions League.In summer of 1996, <mask> signed with city neighbours Boavista FC. On 29 October, he scored twice in a 5–0 home win against FC Dinamo Tbilisi in that season's UEFA Europa League (5–1 on aggregate), and was also part of the squad that won the campaign's Portuguese Cup, even though he did not play in the final against S.L. Benfica (3–2). Scotland
In the 1998 off-season, <mask> was recruited by manager Alex McLeish to join Scottish First Division side Hibernian. He quickly became a fan favourite at his new club and earned numerous team accolades, including two Player of the Year awards and a Scottish Division 1 Player of the Year award; he also contributed with six goals in twenty-three games in an eventual promotion to the Premier League, as champions. Despite his contributions, <mask> was sacked from Hibernian early in 2001 after a night that began with him socialising with countryman and Manchester United player Dwight Yorke, and ended with him being charged by police for drunk driving. The incident represented a breach of the code of conduct for Hibernian players, who were forbidden to drink for 48 hours before a match.It was around this time that both players quit international football after being dropped from the starting line-up by national coach Renê Simões, after they failed to show up for a training session. Following his dismissal from Hibernian, <mask> was signed by Rangers, who were managed by Dick Advocaat. He failed to reproduce his best form at Ibrox Stadium, even when McLeish replaced the Dutchman at the helm of the club – the new manager expressed a desire to field younger players, <mask> was 34; in addition to his age, his partying tendencies also did little to put him in favour with the coach, and he eventually left in January 2003. <mask> finished the 2002–03 season with fellow league team Dundee United. In the summer, he was brought to Falkirk by manager John Hughes, his former teammate at Hibs, who had 'tracked him down' in Portugal. The veteran started strongly, scoring a total of fourteen league goals in his first two seasons, and was an essential component of the team as they returned to the top flight in 2005, as champions. In the process, he was awarded the First Division 'Player of the Month' for April and was again named the league's Player of the Year.<mask> received another individual award in 2006, this time the SPL 'Player of the Month' for August. The Bairns once again retained their top division status in 2008–09, but he only appeared in three games, leaving the club in January 2009 at nearly 41 after 194 competitive appearances (29 goals), and signed with Caledonia AIA in his homeland. <mask> was inducted into the 'Falkirk Hall of Fame' on 29 November 2008. To mark this occasion the club hosted a 'Russell Latapy Day'. In October 2011, at 43, he came out of retirement to sign for East of Scotland Football League's Edinburgh City, ahead of their Scottish Cup tie against Irvine Meadow. International career
<mask>'s debut for Trinidad and Tobago was on 30 October 1988, in a 0–0 home draw against Honduras for the 1990 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. He was part of the squad known as the Strike Squad whom, needing only one point in its last game to qualify for the finals in Italy, was defeated 1–0 at home by the United States.In 2005, after four years without one single appearance, <mask> returned to the national team following the intervention of his friend Yorke – who had done the same the previous year – and FIFA vice-president Austin "Jack" Warner. His first match in his second spell was a 3–2 home win over Guatemala in which he scored, and he took part in a further five contests in the 2006 World Cup qualifying campaign, including both games in the decisive playoffs against Bahrain, with the Soca Warriors qualifying to the FIFA World Cup for the first time in its history. <mask>'s input in the finals in Germany consisted of 25 minutes in the 2–0 loss against Paraguay, in an eventual group stage exit. The national team returned to a hero's welcome at Piarco International Airport in Trinidad and, in recognition of their achievements, each member of the team was awarded Trinidad and Tobago's second highest honour, the Chaconia Medal in gold, and TT$1,000,000. Coaching career
<mask> became assistant to Trinidad and Tobago manager Francisco Maturana and, following the Colombian's resignation in 2009, was appointed his successor. On 13 January 2011, it was confirmed by the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association that <mask> would cease his duties as national manager, as the team failed to qualify to the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup after being eliminated before the semi-final stage of the 2010 Caribbean Cup. In his 23 games in charge, he recorded nine wins, three draws and eleven losses.In January 2014, <mask> was working as an assistant coach for former club Boavista. He then linked up again with John Hughes, becoming his assistant at Inverness Caledonian Thistle. <mask> helped Inverness win the 2014–15 Scottish Cup. He left the club in July 2015, as he sought to become a manager in his own right. On 2 January 2017, <mask> became an assistant coach of the Soca Warriors where he worked along with its head coach Tom Saintfiet at the Hasely Crawford Stadium. On 1 April 2019, <mask> became manager of the Barbados national team on a two-year contract. Career statistics

<mask> (January 14, 1919 – September 15, 2011) was a Canadian-born, American studio executive who persuaded Charlie Chaplin to return to the United States in 1972, ending Chaplin's  twenty year, self-imposed exile. Chaplin's return to the United States restored his popularity and public reputation. Jeffrey Vance, author of the 2003 Chaplin biography, Chaplin: Genius of the Cinema, wrote that Chaplin's 1972 return to the United States, which was arranged by Rothman, was "one of the greatest P.R. coups, and personal rehabilitations" in the history of the film industry. Vance further wrote that, "Rothman is the guy who re-made Chaplin." Biography

Career
<mask> was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on January 14, 1919, to Meyer and <mask>. Rothman was one of his parents four children.His father worked as a kosher butcher. Rothman would later change his name from <mask> to <mask> once he entered the work force. Rothman served in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II, stationed in Dublin, Ireland. While in Ireland, Rothman began to meet Americans who worked in the film industry, who invited him to New York City to work in entertainment after the war. Rothman took their advice and moved to New York City after the end of the war. He worked for Universal Pictures from 1946 to 1952 as an overseas manager in India, Singapore and Venezuela. In 1952, Rothman joined United Artists' office in Paris, France, as the studio's continental European manager, where he worked from 1952 to 1959.<mask> was hired by Columbia Pictures in 1960 as the CEO of Columbia's international division. He rose to become Columbia Pictures' vice president for worldwide marketing. <mask> also served as Columbia Pictures' representative to director Stanley Kubrick during the production of his 1964 film, Dr. Strangelove. He retired from Columbia Pictures in 1971 to focus on the distribution of Charlie Chaplin's film library. Charlie Chaplin
Charlie Chaplin, one of Hollywood's best known figures, had founded United Artists with Mary Pickford, D. W. Griffith and Douglas Fairbanks. By the early 1950s, Chaplin's stardom had dimmed due to perceived Communist sympathies and scandals involving his two previous, early marriages to sixteen-year-old girls. Chaplin, though a British citizen, had lived in the United States for forty years, but his political affiliations made him a subject of suspicion during the McCarthy Era.In 1952, Chaplin traveled to his native home to promote the London premiere of Limelight, the last film he made in the United States. While abroad, United States Attorney General James P. McGranery revoked Chaplin's re-entry permit and would not allow him to return to the United States. Chaplin moved to Switzerland in 1952, and swore never to return to the United States. Chaplin owned and retained the rights to most of his movies, which he took with him to Switzerland. <mask>'s relationship to Chaplin stretched back to the 1950s, when he first met Chaplin while working as United Artists' European manager. In early 1971, a group of investors, led by <mask>, paid Chaplin $6 million, plus 50% royalties, for the distribution rights to some of his best known movies, including The Great Dictator, Limelight, City Lights, The Gold Rush and Modern Times. <mask> left his job as vice president of worldwide marketing for Columbia Pictures in 1971 to lead the investors and handle the distribution of Chaplin's films on a full-time basis.Rothman successfully persuaded Chaplin, who was 83 years old at the time, to return to the United States in order to promote the re-release of his film catalog. Chaplin was hesitant, but agreed to Rothman's offer. Charlie Chaplin, accompanied by both his wife, Oona, and <mask>, arrived in New York City on April 2, 1972. Chaplin attended a tribute to his films held by the Film Society of Lincoln Center in New York. He was further awarded the honorary Academy Award one week later. The visit, orchestrated by Rothman, restored Chaplin's popularity and reputation. At the time, the New York Times noted Rothmam's extensive involvement with the visit describing Rothman as "abrupt and ingratiating five times in three minutes" — as a kind of performance in its own right, evoking the manner of "the Hollywood tycoon of the 1930s."Chaplin's daughter, Geraldine Chaplin, later wrote that <mask> was the "brave and clever reviver of Charlie Chaplin worldwide." Chaplin died in 1977, his popularity restored. Rothman continued to release his films throughout the 1970s and 1980s. During the mid-1980s, Rothman loaned the now defunct United States Information Agency twelve of Chaplin's films, which were screened at American embassies worldwide as an example of American film and art. Later life
In 1982, <mask> was the recipient of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic for his contributions to Italian cinema. He served as a judge for both the Venice Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival in 1985. Rothman was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease later in life.In 2001, his wife, Lyn <mask>, spurred on by her husband's diagnosis, founded the Parkinson's Appeal for Deep Brain Stimulation, based in London. <mask> died from Parkinson's disease in Los Angeles on September 15, 2011, at the age 92. and is survived by his wife, Lyn <mask>, with whom he had been married for 37 years; three children from two previous marriages: Keith from his first marriage and Nicole and <mask> from his second marriage to German actress Hanna Rucker (1923-1982); two stepchildren, Sebastian and Arabella; and seven grandchildren. He was interred at Mount Sinai Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles. References

BlackRock is the largest money-management firm in the world with more than  trillion in assets under management, giving the firm enormous power over the global financial system. In April 2018, Fink's net worth was estimated at  billion. He sits on the boards of the influential Council on Foreign Relations and World Economic Forum. Early life and education
<mask> was born on November 2, 1952. He grew up in a Jewish family in Van Nuys, California, where his mother was an English professor and his father owned a shoe store.He earned a BA in Political Science from UCLA in 1974. Fink is also a member of Kappa Beta Phi. He then received an MBA in Real Estate at the UCLA Anderson Graduate School of Management in 1976. Career

1970 to 2000

Fink started his career in 1976 at First Boston, a New York-based investment bank. Eventually taking charge of First Boston's bond department, Fink was instrumental in the creation and development of the mortgage-backed security market in the United States. At First Boston, Fink was a member of the Management Committee, a Managing Director, and co-head of the Taxable Fixed Income Division; he also started the Financial Futures and Options Department, and headed the Mortgage and Real Estate Products Group. Fink added as much as $1 billion to First Boston's bottom line.He was successful at the bank until 1986, when his department lost $100 million due to his incorrect prediction about interest rates. The experience influenced his decision to start a company that would invest clients' money while also incorporating comprehensive risk management. In 1988, under the corporate umbrella of The Blackstone Group, <mask> co-founded BlackRock and became its Director and CEO. When BlackRock split from Blackstone in 1994, <mask> retained his positions, which he continued to hold after BlackRock became more independent in 1998. His other positions at the company have included Chairman of the Board, Chairman of the Executive and Leadership Committees, Chair of Corporate Council, and Co-Chair of the Global Client committee. BlackRock went public in 1999. 2000s

In 2003, <mask> helped to negotiate the resignation of the CEO of the New York Stock Exchange, Richard Grasso, who was widely criticized for his $190 million pay package.In 2006 Fink led the merger with Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, which doubled BlackRock's asset management portfolio. That same year, BlackRock's $5.4 billion purchase of Stuyvesant Town–Peter Cooper Village, a Manhattan housing complex, became the largest residential-real-estate deal in U.S. history. When the project ended in default, BlackRock clients lost their money, including the California Pension and Retirement System, which lost about $500 million. The U.S. government contracted with BlackRock to help clean up after the financial meltdown of 2008. Although BlackRock is widely believed to have been the best choice for the cleanup job, Fink's longstanding relationships with senior government officials have led to questions about potential conflict of interest regarding government contracts awarded without competitive bidding. BlackRock's contract allowed Fink to cultivate relationships with Obama's first Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and additional members of the Obama economic recovery team. In 2016 Fink hoped to become part of the federal government himself as Hillary Clinton's Treasury Secretary.At the same time, Blackrock hired many former executive branch appointees to its firm including Cheryl Mills,
Christopher Meade, Katheryn Rosen, Michael Pyle, Coryann Stefansson, Gary Reeder, and Ken Wilson. This move strengthened BlackRock's revolving door with the federal government. In December 2009, BlackRock purchased Barclays Global Investors, at which point the company became the largest money-management firm in the world. Despite his great influence, Fink is not widely known publicly, apart from his regular appearances on CNBC. BlackRock paid Fink $23.6 million in 2010. By 2016, BlackRock had $5 trillion under management, with 12,000 employees in 27 countries. In 2016, Fink received the ABANA Achievement Award in New York City.It recognizes an individual who exemplifies outstanding leadership in banking and finance and has a commitment to positive professional cooperation between the US and the Middle East and North Africa. In 2018, Fink was ranked #28 on the Forbes list of The World's Most Powerful People. During the coronavirus pandemic of 2020 the Fed has turned to BlackRock to help it purchase distressed securities in an echo of 2008. Community involvement
Fink serves on the board of trustees of New York University, where he holds various chairmanships including chair of the Financial Affairs Committee. He also co-chairs the NYU Langone Medical Center board of trustees and is a trustee of the Boys and Girl's Club of New York. Fink is also on the board of the Robin Hood Foundation. Fink founded the Lori and Laurence Fink Center for Finance & Investments at UCLA Anderson in 2009, and currently serves as chairman of the board.In December 2016, <mask> joined a business forum assembled by then president-elect Donald Trump to provide strategic and policy advice on economic issues. In his 2018 annual open letter to CEOs, he called for corporations to play an active role in improving the environment, working to better their communities, and increasing the diversity of their workforces. This has been taken as evidence of a move by BlackRock, one of the largest public investors, to proactively enforce these targets. In his 2019 open letter, <mask> said that companies and their CEOs must step into a leadership vacuum to tackle social and political issues when governments fail to address these issues. After the murder of Jamal Khashoggi in October 2018, <mask> cancelled plans to attend an investment conference in Saudi Arabia. In his 2020 annual open letter, Fink announced environmental sustainability as core goal for BlackRock's future investment decisions. In this letter, he explained how climate will become a driver in economics, affecting all aspects of the economy.He also divulged in a separate letter (to investors) that BlackRock will be cutting ties with previous investments involving thermal coal and other investments that have a large environmental risk. <mask> is also longtime donor and supporter of the New York City Police Foundation: a group that provides financial support to the New York City Police Department. The non-profit Color of Change called on Fink to divest from the NYC Police Foundation in the wake of the murder of George Floyd and subsequent nationwide protests. Personal life
<mask> has been married to his wife, Lori, since the mid-1970s. The couple owns homes in Manhattan, North Salem, New York, and Vail, Colorado. The couple has three children. Joshua, their eldest son, was CEO of Enso Capital, a now defunct hedge fund in which Fink had a stake.Fink is a lifelong supporter of the Democratic Party. Public perception
In his 2018 annual letter to shareholders, <mask> stated that other companies should be aware of their impact on society, however, anti-war organizations are discontent with <mask>'s statement, because his company, BlackRock, is the largest investor in weapon manufacturers through its U.S. Aerospace and Defense ETF. In September 2018, an activist with the U.S. non-profit organization Code Pink confronted Fink on stage at the Yahoo Finance All Markets Summit. Honors and recognition

<mask> (; born 1961) is a Brazilian artist and photographer. Initially a sculptor, Muniz grew interested with the photographic representations of his work, eventually focusing completely on photography. Primarily working with unconventional materials such as tomato sauce, diamonds, magazine clippings, chocolate syrup, dust, dirt, etc., Muniz creates works of art, referencing old master's paintings and celebrity portraits, among other things, and then photographs them. His work has been met with both commercial success and critical acclaim, and has been exhibited worldwide. He is currently represented by Galeria Nara Roesler based in New York and Brazil. In 2010, Muniz was featured in the documentary film Waste Land. Directed by Lucy Walker, the film highlights Muniz's work on one of the world's largest garbage dumps, Jardim Gramacho, on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro.The film was nominated to the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 83rd Academy Awards. Early life
<mask> <mask> was born in 1961 in São Paulo, Brazil, as the only child of Maria Celeste, a telephone operator, and Vincente <mask>, a restaurant waiter. <mask>’s grandmother, Ana Rocha, taught him how to read at an early age. In his memoir, Muniz recalled struggling with writing in school which is why he turned to visuals to communicate his thoughts. At the age of 14, his math teacher recommended him to enter an art contest. He won and was awarded a partial scholarship to an art studio. Career

Early career
At the age of 18, Muniz got his first job working in the advertising industry in Brazil, redesigning billboards for higher readability.While on the way to his first black-tie gala, Muniz witnessed and attempted to break up a street fight, where he was accidentally shot in the leg by one of the brawlers. He was paid by the shooter to not press charges and used the money to travel to Chicago in 1983. In Chicago, Muniz worked at a local supermarket cleaning the parking lot while he attended night school to study English. In the English class, he learned Polish, Italian, Spanish, and Korean without any improvements to his English vocabulary. Later, Muniz attended culinary and carpentry classes where he learned most of his English. Muniz took his first trip to New York in 1984. There, he visited the Museum of Modern Art and met a woman who changed his thoughts on Jackson Pollock’s paintings.This also influenced Muniz to move to New York just two months after his first visit. Muniz's friend lent him a studio where he started his career as a sculptor. He was 28 when he had his first solo exhibit in 1989. Influences and technique

Inspired by works of Man Ray and Max Ernst, Muniz executes simple imagery intricately. Marshall McLuhan’s Understanding Media  encouraged Muniz to explore perception in the media through abstraction and manipulating the components of the image. He cites the mosaics in a church in Ravenna as one of his influences and is also a self-proclaimed student of Buster Keaton. He decided to become an artist after seeing the works of the Postmodernists Cindy Sherman and Jeff Koons.<mask>, like both of these artists, reworks popular imagery in his work. Muniz says that he does not believe in originals, but rather believes in individuality. Muniz works to re-purpose themes and showcase them in a different light for the viewer. Muniz is best known for recreating famous imagery from art history and pop culture with unexpected, everyday objects, and photographing them. For example, Muniz's Action Photo, After Hans Namuth (From Pictures of Chocolate), a Cibachrome print, is a Bosco Chocolate Syrup recreation of one of Hans Namuth's photographs of Jackson Pollock in his studio. The monumental series Pictures of Cars (after Ruscha) is his social commentary of the car culture of Los Angeles utilizing Ed Ruscha's 60's Pop masterpieces rendered from car ephemera. Muniz often works on a large scale and then he destroys the originals of his work and only the photo of his work remains.Muniz has spoken of wanting to make "color pictures that talked about color and also talked about the practical simplification of such impossible concepts." He also has an interest in making pictures that "reveal their process and material structure," and describes himself as having been "a willing bystander in the middle of the shootout between structuralist and post-structuralist critique." Muniz says that when he takes photographs, he intuitively searches for "a vantage point that would make the picture identical to the ones in my head before I’d made the works," so that his photographs match those mental images. He sees photography as having "freed painting from its responsibility to depict the world as fact." In Muniz's earthworks series, Pictures of Earthworks, show a strong resemblance to the 1970s Earthworks movement. However unlike the Earthworks movement, that were influenced by ancient cultures, Muniz's series shows distinct human impact on nature. Political and social themes

In addition to sculpting, Muniz experiments with drawing and photography, which is seen in the series Sugar Children, featured in the Museum of Modern Art's New Photography 13 show, alongside Rineke Dijikstra, An-My Le, and Kunié Sugiura, in 1997.In Sugar Children, Muniz photographed the families that worked on sugar plantations on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts. Beginning with Polaroids of several of the children of plantation workers, Muniz "drew" the images by sprinkling sugar on black paper and rephotographed these compositions. This series was met with criticism, where scholars have pointed out that he photographs of subjects continuing to live in poverty and yet can make upwards of 5 figures on these works at auction. After his Pictures in Garbage series, Muniz donated the profits, close to $50,000, from the Marat (Sebastiao) to the workers collective after it was auctioned in the UK. He also tries to make art more accessible through the use of common materials, because of his belief that the art world should not be just for the elite. Muniz stated in the documentary Waste Land, "I'm at this point in my career where I'm trying to step away from the realm of fine arts because I think it's a very exclusive, very restrictive place to be. What I want to be able to do is to change the lives of people with the same materials they deal with every day."Publications

<mask><mask> is a visual artist and vocalist in the New York art band Maxi Geil! & Playcolt. She has exhibited her work in New York City, Boston, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Jersey City, Amsterdam and Bologna, Italy, and been reviewed in the New York Times, Artforum, Art in America, Tema Celeste and Flash Art. She is currently represented by DODGEgallery in New York. Early life and education
Born in 1970 in Bryn Mawr Hospital, she grew up in Media and Broomall, in Pennsylvania's Delaware County. She starting studying ballet at an early age and became principal dancer of amateur ballet group Brandywine Ballet in West Chester in junior high school. After being injured, she decided that she wasn't fit to pursue ballet on a professional level.She told Art in America of this time "My frustration grew bigger than my pleasure and I wanted to work alone basically—not in front of mirrors, not in front of audiences, not beside anyone." She attended the Rhode Island School of Design, where she majored in apparel design studying with, among other people, Lorraine Howes, and at the Ravensbourne College of Design in London for her study-abroad semester, graduating in 1991. After taking a job with designer Michael Leva and having already begun producing and selling her own line Iota through an East Village boutique, she moved to New York City. Visual art career
<mask>'s work includes large-scale drawings of early modernist interiors made in ink on a material known as "vintage tracing cloth" that was developed around 1910 to be used as an architectural drafting paper. She started in ballpoint pen—blue or black Bic, diluted—applying it by brush. In 2009, she started to depict 1930s domestic, office, and factory interiors in watered down lithographic ink on a large scale. The next year she began casting lead crystal panels to accompany the drawings, and in 2011 started to incorporate soundtracks to her exhibitions with musical collaborator Kenn Richards and presented her first solo exhibition in New York City at DODGEgallery.The work, at its base, is a contemplation of the difference between modernism's ideals and its physical actuality and the idea of the live-and-workspace as an extension of the self, capitalizing on the delusion of the interwar period of early modernism. An art reviewer for Time Out magazine characterized it as having a "beautifully elegiac air" whereas a reviewer for the New York Times described the same work as "ooz[ing] loneliness." Artforum's Nuit Banai notes the work's "double dynamic" of disavowal and confirmation while Art in America'''s Aimee Walleston sees the work as posing questions, "The art is an unadulterated exaltation of Modernism—yet its absence of figures induces viewers to wonder: did fantastic things really happen here? Or are the interiors <mask> investigates sites for a magnificent moment that could never really be?" In 2015 <mask> wrote about the 17th century Shoin rooms at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the Brooklyn Rail. She wrote "I am interested in the fact that this room is both old and new, that we look at it through a reconstruction, that is, through another's gaze.... Hovering between the two-dimensional and three-dimensional, my reconstructions distill the desire that is latent in these spaces, a desire to control and improve human behavior, to make us saner, healthier, or just more beautiful.When I stand in front of this reconstruction at the Met, I feel the distillation happening here as well." Her work was included in Trent Morse's 2016 book Ballpoint Art (Laurence King Publishing), which also included the work of Cy Twombly, Alberto Giacometti, and Dawn Clements. Her drawings are also on offer on pillows via artmultiple.com. Music career
1998 to 2002
Having studied opera for a couple of years under Gina Crusco, <mask> joined her New York City Underworld Productions Opera remaining a member until 2006. In 1992, she began singing and writing music with artist and composer David Abir whom she met at a summer program in Philadelphia when they were both in high school: Their band's name was (SIGH). She next became lyricist and lead singer for the band Research with Kenn Richards: They recorded the album The Post Modern Always Rings Twice with producer Dave Fridman of the Flaming Lips on Elektra Records which was never released. Other members included Suzanne Thorpe and Sean Thomas Mackowiak of the band Mercury Rev, and they released an EP called (Almost) Nothing Yet on Stickshift in 1998.<mask> also sang with a light-and-sound performance art group called The Infant Reader, also with David Abir. Maxi Geil! and PlayColt, 2002 to present
She began working with Maxi Geil! & PlayColt in 2002, after being recruited by her now-husband Guy Richards Smit who heard from mutual friends she was looking for a new music project. The lead singer's name translating to "super horny" in German, Maxi Geil! & PlayColt is a band centered around a fictional New Wave pop star played by Smit based on '70s and '80s Dutch rock star Herman Brood. Its music is a variety of pop that blends influences from Bryan Ferry, Roxy Music, and David Bowie from his Ziggy Stardust era.In addition to Smit on lead vocals, the band includes <mask>, also on vocals, John Allen on lead guitar, and Mark Ephraim on rhythm guitar as well as a rotating cast of others including now-TV actress Zoe Lister-Jones, as well as Smit's Dutch half-brother Tijn Smit. With songs like "I Will Leave You First" and "Making Love in the Sunshine," the group's music has been described as "anti-sentimental." In "Making Love in the Sunshine," for example, the band "request[s] your presence in the bathroom / When the music stops," and in "The Artist's Lament," Maxi croons "I want your vagina around the head of my prick." The band has played a number of times in New York City and London, and released two albums, A Message to mMy Audience, their first full-length effort in 2004, and Strange Sensation in 2007. Performative and other work
Nausea 2
<mask> starred with Smit in the most ambitious in the Maxi Geil! video series, an hour-long rock musical that debuted at MoMA during its fall 2004 reopening. They played porn stars Giselle Thurst and Maxi Geil!who have reached crossroads in their careers. (A second plot involves a young amateur porn star, Annie Ball, played by Zoe Lister-Jones.) The cast also includes a bevy of other Brooklynites, including Christian Viveros-Fauné, art critic and Smit's then-gallerist as a member of the Spanish press, and film actor Leo Fitzpatrick as a porn actor. When Maxi and Giselle finally meet, after the former dramatically resigns from his career, they set out to find themselves. In the end, however, they only end up shopping, Smit's attack on the notions of self-exploration in the work of his contemporaries. The work features, among others, the song "The Love I Lose," the first part sung by Giselle after she is fired from one job and runs errands in Culver City, the second by Maxi in his dressing room before his resignation press conference. A writer for The Washington Post describes Nausea 2 as "appealingly complex."He continues, "It's as though Smit takes the premise of a mockumentary such as This Is Spinal Tap'', then gives it the density and even subtle conherence of good contemporary art." Art critic John Haber wrote that he found the work "hilarious," declaring it both "less pretentious" and "more coherent" than a Matthew Barney epic cycle. Maxi Geil! & PlayColt also played at the MoMA reopening event. Fashion design consulting
Having received her apparel training at RISD, <mask> currently works as a fashion design consultant. In the '90s she worked for Gap and Old Navy. Her clients include Coach, Gary Graham, Uniqlo, Gap,  and sweaters for <mask> and Lou & Grey.She is friends with Marcia Patmos of Lutz & Patmos and M. Patmos, for whom she has also designed. Awards

<mask> (Russian: Дми́трий Константи́нович Беля́ев, 17 July 1917 – 14 November 1985) was a Soviet geneticist and academician who served as director of the Institute of Cytology and Genetics (IC&G) of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Novosibirsk, from 1959 to 1985. His decades-long effort to breed domesticated silver foxes was described by The New York Times as “arguably the most extraordinary breeding experiment ever conducted.”  A 2010 article in Scientific American stated that <mask> “may be the man most responsible for our understanding of the process by which wolves were domesticated into our canine companions.”

Beginning in the 1950s, in order to uncover the genetic basis of the distinctive behavioral and physiological attributes of domesticated animals, <mask> and his team spent decades breeding the silver fox (Vulpes vulpes) and selecting for reproduction only those individuals in each generation that showed the least fear of humans. After several generations of controlled breeding, a majority of the silver foxes no longer showed any fear of humans and often wagged their tails and licked their human caretakers to show affection. They also began to display spotted coats, floppy ears, curled tails, as well as other physical attributes often found in domesticated animals, thus confirming <mask>’s hypothesis that both the behavioral and physical traits of domesticated animals could be traced to "a collection of genes that conferred a propensity to tameness—a genotype that the foxes perhaps shared with any species that could be domesticated". <mask>’s experiments were the result of a politically motivated demotion, in response to defying the now discredited non-Mendellian theories of Lysenkoism, which were politically accepted in the Soviet Union at the time. Belyayev has since been vindicated in recent years by major scientific journals, and by the Soviet establishment as a pioneering figure in modern genetics. Early life and education
Belyayev was born on 17 July 1917, in Protasovo, a town in the Russian province of Kostroma.He was his family's fourth and youngest son. His father, Konstantin Pavlovich, was a priest. His brother Nikolai, who was 18 years his senior, was a prominent geneticist who worked with Sergei Chetverikov (1880–1959), a pioneer of population genetics. "It was his brother's influence that caused him to have this special interest in genetics", <mask>'s protégé, Lyudmila Trut, later said. Both <mask> brothers were Darwinists and believers in Mendelian genetics. At the time <mask> came of age, however, life was dangerous in the Soviet Union for geneticists with such views, because the Stalinist regime supported the scientific theories of agronomist Trofim Lysenko and outlawed research inspired by the rival views of Gregor Mendel. As Trut recalled, "genetics was considered fake science."Indeed, under the rule of Stalin, leading geneticists who believed in Darwinian evolution and Mendelian genetics were considered enemies of the state. Several of them were sent to prison, and at least one, Nikolai Vavilov, was sentenced to death, and died of starvation in prison in 1943. Early career
The next year, <mask> graduated from the Ivanovo Agricultural Institute and began working in the Department of Fur Animal Breeding at the Central Research Laboratory in Moscow, which was affiliated with the Ministry of Foreign Trade. In 1941, he was conscripted into the military, and was wounded and received several military decorations. He then resumed work at the laboratory. Despite the persecution of adherents of Darwinism and Mendelian genetics, <mask> wrote a dissertation on "The variation and inheritance of silver-colored fur in silver-black foxes" and continued to hold fast to his belief in evolution and Mendelian genetics. Still, to be safe, he disguised his genetics research as studies in animal physiology.Nonetheless, his known interest in genetics led in 1948 to his dismissal from his position as head of the Department of Fur Animal Breeding. After the death of Stalin in 1953, the Soviet persecution of geneticists began to ease. From 1958 to the end of his life, <mask> worked for the Siberian Division of the USSR Academy of Sciences, which he helped found. In 1963, he became Director of the Institute of Cytology and Genetics (IC&G) in Novosibirsk, and held that position until his death. Under his leadership, according to one source, "the institute became a center of basic and applied research in both classical genetics and modern molecular genetics." He was appointed an academician in 1973. Fox experiment

The domesticated silver fox is a form of the silver fox which has been domesticated - to some extent - under laboratory conditions.The silver fox is a melanistic form of the wild red fox. Domesticated silver foxes are the result of an experiment which was designed to demonstrate the power of selective breeding to transform species, as described by Charles Darwin in On the Origin of Species. The experiment explored whether selection for behaviour rather than morphology may have been the process that had produced dogs from wolves, by recording the changes in foxes when in each generation only the most tame foxes were allowed to breed. Many of the descendant foxes became both tamer and more dog-like in morphology, including displaying mottled or spotted coloured fur. In 2019, an international research team questioned some of the conclusions that they suggested had been abusively drawn from this famous experiment (sometimes by the popular culture rather than the Russian scientists themselves), especially regarding the domestication syndrome while it remains "a resource for investigation of the genomics and biology of behavior", given the origin of the fox population used in a Canadian fur farm where some traits might have been pre-selected. Death
<mask> died of cancer in 1985. After his death, his experiment was continued by his assistant Lyudmila Trut, who brought international attention to it with a 1999 journal article.In 2017, the sculpture "Dmitriy Belyaev and Domesticated Fox" was built near Institute of Cytology and Genetics (Novosibisrk) in the honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of <mask> Belyaev. The tamed fox gives the scientist a paw and wags its tail. Konstantin Zinich, sculptor (Krasnoyarsk): "The philosophy of touching a fox and a man is rapprochement, kindness, there is no aggression from the fox - it was wild, and he made it genetically domesticated." Its opening was held as part of the Belyaev Conference 2017. Selected writings

<mask> (5 January 1955 – 6 June 2018) was an Austrian biologist, university teacher and epistemologist. He wrote extensively on epistemology, the history and theory of biology, evolution theory, evolutionary ethics, evolutionary epistemology and sociobiology. <mask> co-founded the Austrian citizen initiative "Mein Veto" ("My veto") which campaigns against state encroachment in areas of personal liberty and morality. The Initiative is particularly well supported among Austria's relatively large Intellectual class, and includes among its financial backers the tobacco corporation BAT. Life
Between 1973 and 1978 <mask> studied zoology, paleontology, philosophy and scientific theory at the University of Vienna. He received his doctorate in 1978, and progressed, still at Vienna, to a habilitation qualification in 1980 with a paper entitled "Scientific theory with particular reference to the Life sciences"

In 1982 he received national recognition in the form of the award of the Austrian Prize for Scientific Journalism. From 1987 till 2004 he was employed at the University of Graz where he taught the philosophy of biology.He also had guest professorships at several other universities including the Vienna University of Technology (1998–2004) and, in Palma de Majorca, at the University of the Balearic Islands (2006, 2008, 2009, 2010). Since 2002 he was on the board of the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research in Lower Austria. He was a member of the scientific advisory board of the Giordano Bruno Foundation which has as its mission "Support of Evolutionary Humanism". He also belongs to "Free Academy" in Berlin and to Vienna's Library Platform initiative. Other roles have included providing scientific input for the Kapfenberg (in Styria) Summer Academy till 2008 (which was the final year for the event). For many years he was a co-producer/editor of the journal of the "Gesellschaft für kritische Philosophie Nürnberg" ("literally "Nuremberg Society from Critical Philosophy"/ GKPN), Aufklärung & Kritik which promotes free thought and humanist philosophy. He was on the editorial/advisory board of various other journals and publications (Biological Theory, Ludus Vitalis, La Nuova Critica, Universitas etc.).From 2005 until 2008 he was also the editor of Bioscop, the journal of the Austrian Biologist Association (ABA).

 Wuketits on free will:

We have only the illusion of free will. An illusion that has developed over the course of human evolution. In daily life we do not notice that it is an illusion. We are not constantly evaluating whether free will is behind what we do or do not do.........Each of us is to some extent predefined, on the one hand through the evolution of our species. All our activities arise from abilities that come from our evolutionary history. The priority here is always to survive and to reproduce.The cultural elements are merely refinements of underlying evolutionary strategies.The second element is the individual biography. The older we get, the more we drag around our experiences, influences, desires, hopes, anxieties. We cannot separate ourselves from these. All the decisions that we take we take on the basis of factors deriving from this evolutionary history and our individual histories [leaving no space for free will].Wir haben nur die Illusion eines freien Willens. Eine Illusion, die sich im Verlauf der Evolution beim Menschen entwickelt hat. Im Alltag bemerken wir nicht, dass dies nur eine Illusion ist. Wir überlegen uns ja nicht ständig, was wir tun oder nicht tun und fragen nicht, ob ein freier Wille dahinter steckt.Erst einmal ist jeder von uns gewissermaßen zweifach gebürdet: Zum einen durch die Evolution unserer Gattung. Alle unsere Aktivitäten entspringen Fähigkeiten, die in unserer Stammesgeschichte entstanden sind. Dabei geht es letztlich immer darum, zu überleben und sich fortzupflanzen. Unsere Kulturen stellen lediglich Verfeinerungen der Evolutionsstrategien dar. Das ist unsere jeweilige Biografie. Je älter wir werden, umso mehr schleppen wir mit uns herum: Erfahrungen, Prägungen, Wünsche, Hoffnungen, Ängste. Davon können wir uns nicht trennen.Alle Entscheidungen, die wir treffen, treffen wir auf der Basis dieser stammesgeschichtlichen und individualgeschichtlichen Faktoren. <mask>its

<mask> (, ; 9 August 1949 – 11 April 1999) was a Serbian journalist and newspaper publisher. His murder on 11 April 1999 in Belgrade, FR Yugoslavia provoked international outrage and wide condemnation. In January 2014 two people were arrested and two others named by the Serbian police as suspects in Ćuruvija's murder, including Radomir Marković, former head of the State Security Service (SDB) from 1998 to 2001. Early life and career
Born to Rade Ćuruvija, an ethnic Serb officer of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) who spent World War II fighting in Lika on the Partisan side, <mask> was born and grew up in Zagreb. In addition to holding JNA rank, his father also worked for JNA's Counterintelligence Service (KOS) and State Security Service (UDBA). The family moved to Belgrade in 1958. His parents divorced in 1965.After graduating from the Faculty of Political Sciences, University of Belgrade, Ćuruvija found employment as a business secretary and PR assistant at Mašinogradnja in Belgrade. He soon began contributing to Zagreb's Danas weekly magazine, as well as to the Social Research Center (Centar za društvena istrazivanja). Between 1984 and 1986, he worked as analyst in the Federal Interior Secretariat and State Security Service. Career in journalism
In 1986, Ćuruvija joined the staff of Borba: initially as commentator, then advancing to the position of domestic political section editor, and eventually becoming Borbas editor-in-chief. In 1987 he was one of the few journalists allowed to stand next to Slobodan Milošević during his visit to Kosovo Polje on 24 April. He stayed with the daily paper until 1994 while regularly contributing to Vjesnik, NIN, Večernji list, Pobjeda, TV Belgrade, and other media sources. In 1994, after the regime's unofficial takeover at Borba, Ćuruvija, along with many other staffers decided to leave the daily.While some of them quickly reconvened to form Naša borba, Ćuruvija took another career route, hooking up with Momčilo Đorgović to found Nedeljni telegraf, a weekly tabloid newspaper. In 1996, the duo founded Dnevni telegraf, Serbia's first privately owned daily in more than 50 years. Ćuruvija was DTs director and editor-in-chief, and eventually, after splitting with Đorgović, its sole owner. In 1998, Ćuruvija additionally founded a bi-weekly magazine Evropljanin where he gathered some prominent Serbian journalists, including Aleksandar Tijanić and Ljiljana Smajlović. Relations with regime
Both Ćuruvija-owned publications benefited from his access to Mira Marković, wife of Serbian president Slobodan Milošević. Not many specific, established details indicating the extent of their relationship are known. Most come from second or third hand accounts.Radio Television of Serbia produced a television documentary Kad režim strelja (2006), Aleksandar Tijanić refers to it as a "non-aggression pact between Mira and <mask> allowing him access to many relevant pieces of information that ultimately greatly increased Dnevni telegrafs readership", while Ćuruvija's common-law wife Branka Prpa who was with him at the time of his murder attaches less significance to this friendship saying that it "revolved around conversations that many other journalists engaged in with Mira Marković hoping to manipulate her into revealing more than she'd originally planned". Prpa went on to add: "However, I think they became the ones being manipulated as the time went on". Whatever it was, their relationship was deteriorating by the day in late summer and early fall of 1998. Yugoslav army and Serbian police were in various stages of a crackdown on ethnic Albanians in Kosovo, and both of Ćuruvija's publications reported extensively on all of these issues, all of which earned Dnevni telegraf a ban on 14 October 1998 under a special new decree. Furious with these new developments, Ćuruvija demanded to see Mira Marković and a meeting was arranged at her party's (Yugoslav Left) offices during the week Dnevni telegraf was banned as the new Information Law was being prepared. The meeting, reportedly quickly turned into a heated exchange. Branka Prpa, Ćuruvija's common-law wife, and Ljiljana Smajlović, co-worker, said that one of the things that got him in trouble with the Milošević regime was the article about Attack on Prekaz because he didn't call all killed Kosovo Albanians “terrorists”.According to Predrag Popović's book Oni ne praštaju (written from the author's subsequent interviews with Ćuruvija), Ćuruvija was shouting: "What the hell do you think you're doing. If you continue down this crazy path, you can be sure you'll all be hanging off lamp posts in Terazije". Visibly flustered, Mira reportedly responded: "How can you say that <mask>, after all we've allowed you". <mask>'s later comment was also published in the book: "Evidently she thought she'd done me a great favour by allowing me to live a normal life and publish newspapers all those years". The meeting, their last ever, ended with Ćuruvija saying: "Say hello to your husband for me." To which [a] visibly shook up Mira responded: "I will not do that, but I will tell him everything you said." People who happened to be in the building said Mira Marković was crying after the meeting.In April 2006 article on B92 TV commemorating 7 years since the unsolved murder of Ćuruvija, his wife Branka Prpa recounted few more details of the Ćuruvija-Marković exchange: "He was shouting 'What are you doing this for? You're going to cause a widespread war!' Mira then told him 'Oh, so you want them to bomb us.' He responded 'Well, maybe they should bomb you, it's the only way for us to finally get you out of power!". Evropljanin trial on 23 October 1998
Ćuruvija's response to the unpleasant exchange was a scathing blast about the couple on the pages of Evropljanin, co-written with Aleksandar Tijanić. The issue came out on 19 October 1998, one day before the Information Law was passed, which did not stop the authorities from putting Ćuruvija and his paper on trial four days later and prosecuting them under the same law. The culmination of the day-long trial was a DM350,000 fine.Murder
On 11 April 1999 (which was Easter Sunday in the Serbian Orthodox Church that year), Ćuruvija was shot dead by two masked men in front of his house in Belgrade. The Serbian government began a review on 24 January 2013 of several suspicious cases involving the alleged murders of journalists, including Ćuruvija, Milan Pantić, and Dada Vujasinović. Aleksandar Vučić, who was Minister for Information in Serbian government at the time of the Ćuruvija's murder, announced on 12 November 2013 on Utisak nedelje that there had been a recent progress in the investigation of the murder of Ćuruvija and expects it to be resolved soon. On 14 January 2014, Serbian police arrested two suspects in Ćuruvija's murder case, Milan Radonjić and Ratko Romić, both formerly employed by the Second department of State Security Service (SDB). Radomir Marković, former head of Federal Republic of State Security Service currently serving a 40-year term for orchestrating a 1999 attack on Serbian opposition leaders Vuk Drašković, and Miroslav Kurak, currently at large, are also suspects, the former for allegedly ordering the murder and the latter for being the alleged executor. The formal accusation for the murder was expected by February 2014, the key witness for the prosecution being Milorad Ulemek Legija, former commander of Special Operations Unit of the Serbian secret police. The former Serbian secret agent Ratko Ljubojević told a Belgrade Special Court  in January 2016 that all reports concerning Ćuruvija were ordered destroyed on 5 October 2000, the day Slobodan Milošević fell from power.See also
