<mask> (born 23 December 1972) is an Argentine politician who served as head of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Argentina from 2015 to 2019 during the presidency of Mauricio Macri. She also served as member of the Chamber of Deputies from 2009 to 2015. Previously, she was Executive Director of Poder Ciudadano, the Argentine chapter of Transparency International. Early life and education
<mask> was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and graduated with a degree in political science from the University of Buenos Aires. She also holds a master's degree in public administration and public policy from the London School of Economics and Political Science. She is a Chevening Scholar, an Eisenhower Fellow, a Stanford Draper Hills Fellow, a Reagan-Fascell Fellow at the National Endowment for Democracy and a Yale World Fellow. Political career

Poder Ciudadano
After graduating, <mask> joined the staff of Poder Ciudadano (Citizen Power), a government watchdog organization and the Argentine chapter of Transparency International.She was later promoted to Executive Director. During her tenure at Poder Ciudadano, she helped promote open government policies as well as monitoring of judicial corruption and government influence over the media. <mask> was elected in the 2009 elections as National Deputy for the City of Buenos Aires under the Republican Proposal ticket, alongside Gabriela Michetti, among others. As a legislator, <mask> introduced the Ley de Transparencia, Gobierno Abierto y Acceso a La Información Pública (Transparency, Open Government and Access to  Public Information Law) with the goal of increasing government transparency by giving citizens access to public information. She also drafted legislation on judicial and criminal reforms, electoral issues and gender parity, including a bill to ensure salary parity for Argentine workers. In 2008, she was awarded the Vital Voices Global Leadership Award for her work in combating corruption and promoting good governance. In 2012, she was selected Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum.By then a known name in Argentine media for her crusade against corruption and confrontations with Kirchnerite officials, <mask> became notorious in 2015 for her friendship with Alberto Nisman, a federal prosecutor who was found dead days before publishing a 288-page report with incriminating evidence on then-president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner's involvement in the 1994 AMIA bombing cover-up. <mask> later testified in Nisman's murder trial where she showed her message exchanges with the late prosecutor, in which he expressed being in fear for his life. Anti-Corruption Bureau
In December 2015, president Mauricio Macri appointed <mask> as head of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (OA). The appointment was criticized by the opposition for not meeting the requirement of being a lawyer as required for the office. Macri signed a presidential decree that modified this obligation and established as a requirement "to have a university degree, solid academic background, qualified professional background in law, social sciences or economics and a recognized democratic and republican career." During her time at the AO, the agency published more than 90 thousand affidavits regarding assets from officials of the Executive Branch and legislators in the National Public Data Portal within the Ministry of Modernization. In 2018, <mask> was chair of the G-20 Anti-Corruption Working Group.Laws enacted
During her tenure at the AO, the following bills and decrees were enacted, among others:

 Whistleblower Act: Adds the possibility of reducing or exempting penalties from those who provide "accurate, verifiable and useful information to avoid the consummation or continuation of a crime; help clarify the fact under investigation or other related; reveal the identity of co-authors, participants or coverts of the investigated or other related facts, or the intervention of other persons." It was made into a law in October 2016 by the National Congress. Corporate Liability Law: Its main purpose is to prevent corruption through the implementation of integrity programs that encourage the collaboration of the private sector in the investigation of corruption; it seeks to follow the standards in transparency promoted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). During the debate on the law, <mask> requested that the so-called "Odebrecht clause" be re-included in the bill, which allowed companies to reach an agreement with the Attorney General in order to reduce a penalty in exchange for information on previous crimes. Integrity Decrees in Trials against the State and Public Procurement: These are two additional transparency tools in which the President of the Nation and other government authorities are self-limited in cases of lawsuits against the State and public procurement related to them. For the elaboration of these decrees, the Anti-Corruption Bureau carried out a participatory consultation process that included contributions from non-governmental organizations and the general public through the Internet. Judicial causes intervened

The Anti-Corruption Bureau intervened as a complainant in more than 35 cases for corruption offenses within the scope of the Federal Government, including the 2012 Buenos Aires rail disaster, the Hotesur, Ciccone and Qunita scandals; the trials against Lázaro Báez, Carlos Liuzzi, José López, Amado Boudou and César Milani, as well as a case of bribes and kickbacks in the Ministry of Health.Controversies
During 2016, <mask>'s first year in charge of the Bureau, more than 22,000 public officials did not submit their sworn statement forms. The Anti-Corruption Bureau was criticized for emitting complaints in this regard only against opponents of the government of which it is a part of, for which it was charged with "manifest bias" and accused of using its function "to prosecute adversaries." She was also accused of non-compliance with her duties and functions as head of the AO for alleged infractions committed by former Energy Minister Juan José Aranguren, accused of conflict of interest for signing deals that benefited the Royal Dutch Shell oil company, of which he was shareholder and former CEO of its Argentine division. <mask> replied by saying that "having shares in a company is not necessarily a conflict of interest. This is why we ask all officials in those cases to delegate decisions." In September 2016, the AO decided to recommend that Aranguren must detach himself from his Shell shares as well as let him know that in matters related to the company he must refrain from intervening and designate an official in his replacement.

<mask> (June 14, 1814 – December 16, 1890) was a nineteenth-century Virginia lawyer, congressman, farmer, slaveowner and Confederate officer. Early and family life
Born in Blacksburg, Virginia on either June 8 or 14 and sometime between 1813 and 1817 to Margaret King and her husband, <mask>. All agree that <mask> was named after his father and raised by his stepmother, <mask>. His father farmed using enslaved labor and represented Montgomery County, Virginia in the Virginia House of Delegates four times, including when young <mask> was a boy. The elder <mask> also farmed and bought the Alleghany Turnpike in 1828. He hired private tutors for his son. Young <mask> was sent to Washington, D.C. for higher education, and graduated from Georgetown College.When young <mask> returned, he moved to Roanoke County and studied law. On January 7, 1840, <mask> married <mask> Strother Lewis (1820-1848). They had two daughters and two sons before she died in 1848. Career

Admitted to the Virginia bar in 1838, <mask> began his legal practice in Salem, Virginia and was elected the Roanoke County Commonwealth's attorney (prosecutor) in 1845. <mask> also farmed using enslaved labor. In the 1830 census, <mask> owned 30 slaves, (18 of them children younger than 10). In the 1840 census, he owned 24 slaves, of whom 6 were 10 years old or younger.In 1850, Edmonson owned 800 acres of land in Montgomery county and six slaves older than 12 in Montgomery County and one adult and five young slaves in Roanoke County. Politics
In 1848, voters from the vast western Virginia district comprising Alleghany, Bath, Boone, Botetourt, Floyd, Giles, Greenbrier, Logan, Mercer, Monroe, Montgomery, Pocahontas, Pulaski and Roanoke counties elected <mask> as a Democrat to the United States House of Representatives. He defeated a Whig opponent and served until 1861. During that term, he voted against abolishing the slave trade in the District of Columbia as well as against admitting California as a free state. <mask> faced no opponent and was re-elected in both 1851 and 1853. However, in 1855 the district boundaries had changed, adding Craig, Fayette, Nicholas Raleigh Wayne and Wyoming counties to the district. Nonetheless, <mask> defeated the Know-nothing Party's candidate, Walter Redd Staples.He also won re-election easily in 1857 and 1859. <mask> was chairman of the Committee on Expenditures on Public Buildings from 1853 to 1855. On May 12, 1854, during a House session on the Kansas-Nebraska Act, <mask> was arrested by the Sergeant-at-Arms. After Ohio representative Lewis D. Campbell addressed an increasingly bitter and violent House nearly thirty-six hours into the session, <mask> reportedly began unbuttoning his vest as if reaching for a weapon and attempted to attack Campbell, but was restrained by other members and arrested. The House adjourned after the incident. On January 18, 1856, during a debate to elect a speaker, Ohio Free-soiler Joshua Reed Giddings  sarcastically quoted lines from Julius Caesar, "Go, show your slaves how choleric you are/ And make your bondsmen tremble." <mask>'s advance toward the speaker caused confusion.Later in the session, on May 22, 1856, <mask> accompanied Preston Brooks when he brutally attacked Charles Sumner on the floor of the United States Senate with his cane. A resolution to censure <mask> was introduced for his involvement in the incident along with Brooks and Laurence M. Keitt (another accomplice); while the House censured Brooks and Keitt, it voted not to censure <mask>. <mask> served as one of Brooks' pallbearers the following year. On February 10, 1860, <mask> attacked Pennsylvania Congressman John Hickman on the Capitol grounds for ridiculing Virginia's response to John Brown's raid as excessive. That August, as Staples canvassed for the Constitutional Union candidates in Christiansburg, Virginia, <mask> exchanged blows with Staples. Meanwhile, Edmunson's willingness to thrash "ungentlemanly northern curs" won him admirers as well as enemies. His name was placed into nomination for lieutenant Governor at the Democratic state convention in 1855, and he finished third of six Democartic gubernatorial candidates in 1858.Confederate officer
As Virginia debated secession on April 6, 1861, <mask> addressed a mass meeting in Roanoke and raised a secessionist flag as well as addressed the crowd. As Virginia seceded, Edmondson resigned from Congress and served three months as a volunteer aide-de-camp to the governor. On September 4, 1861, he accepted a commission as lieutenant colonel in the 54th Virginia Infantry and joined the newly formed Confederate States Army. The regiment was reorganized in May 1862, and <mask> was dropped. However, he recruited the 27th Battalion Partisan Rangers, and received a promotion to Major after his re-enlistment; the unit became the 25th Virginia Cavalry and promoted to full Lieutenant Colonel on April 23, 1863, then mustered out citing ill health on October 8, 1864. Later life
In March 1864, <mask> bought 1/6th of the Yellow Sulphur Spring Company from his brother. The mineral spring resort was about five miles from Fotheringay, an estate he had inherited.Seven years later, <mask> and three partners sold their interests for $25,000. After General Lee's surrender, <mask> returned to practicing law, but could not secure the position as counsel to the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad that he wanted. He stopped practicing law in 1880 turned to farming and land speculation. Death and legacy

<mask> died at his home, "Falling Waters" in Shawsville, Montgomery County, Virginia on December 16, 1890, and is interred in the family cemetery at Fotheringay in Shawsville. References

<mask> (March 10, 1927 – June 26, 2017) was a Japanese serial killer who, together with his wife and two accomplices, murdered three people over life insurance policies in Fukuoka from 1978 to 1979. He was sentenced to death for his crimes, but died before he could be executed. At the time of his death, at the age of 90, he was the oldest convict on death row. Early life
<mask> was born on March 10, 1927, in the small town of Noda, Kagoshima (present-day Izumi). His father died of an unspecified illness when he was five years old, leaving behind a debt of 60 yen that his mother and uncle had to pay for. His mother, a farmer who occasionally ventured into the neighbors' home to work as a housekeeper, was the main source of the family's income, but she began suffering from periostitis when Hamada was in the second grade, rendering her immobile for about a year and a half. As a result, the young man had to leave school to take care of her and the household, performing tasks such as transporting water provided by the neighbor on a carrying pole about 10 times per day, collecting firewood from the nearby mountain and washing clothes in the nearby stream.Due to the family's poor financial situation, <mask> did not wear pants, and had to attend physical education using pants provided by the school staff. He also never wore sneakers or boots, and on sunny days wore straw sandals. <mask> later claimed that one of his teachers would always give him a bento after classes, a kind act that made him work harder than others. While he only attended three of the six years of elementary school, <mask> excelled at math and the soroban, always scoring 100 points at the latter and competing solo in tournaments with it. Immediately after graduating elementary school in March 1939, <mask>'s uncle got him a job at a kamaboko store in Ōmuta. There, he would often drive a trike to go buy ice cream, and was often entrusted with work related to the soroban or books, but not long after the Pacific War began, he was drafted to serve in the army. On October 20, 1943, he was sent to work at a Kyushu Hikoki factory based behind what is now Minami-Fukuoka Station, and on weekends, he was engaged in airplane assembly work while simultaneously continuing working at the kamaboko store.In July 1945, <mask> was informed that he was going to be transferred to the Fujisawa Navy Air Corps in Kanagawa Prefecture as a maintenance engineer on September 1, but this was prematurely cut short due to the end of the war. After the end of the war, <mask> found employment at the Japanese National Railways at the recommendation of his older brother, where he worked along railroad crossings, but abruptly quit not long after. Petty crimes
After leaving the Japanese National Railways, <mask> found work at the Toyobo factory in Yamaguchi Prefecture, where he worked alongside people from his hometown. One day, after being invited by a friend to have lunch, he abruptly quit; it was later discovered that he had been stealing supplies from the employees' dormitory. <mask> was arrested for the crime in August 1946, and tried to explain himself to the arresting officer by claiming that the victim "did not deserve compensation because [he] was poor". When this was presented at his trial, the angered judge refused to give him a suspended sentence, and gave a 1-year sentence at the Kagoshima Prison. Thanks to the enactment of the new constitution, however, <mask> was prematurely pardoned and released, but was quickly returned to prison after he was caught trying to sell stolen goods on the black market at the behest of a friend.For this, he was ordered to serve another year and a half in the Kagoshima Prison. <mask> would be arrested twice for theft following his release, and while serving time at the Miyazaki Prison, his mother died from an illness. Taking into account his personal circumstances, <mask> was pardoned by the Parole Board. After briefly working as a coal miner in Saga Prefecture, he returned to his previous job at the kamaboko store. At that time, he received three marriage proposals, including by the daughter of the store owner, all of whom liked him because of his kind personality. In the end, he married the store owner's daughter, as she had been 3-months pregnant with their child. Despite the fact that he was expecting a child soon, <mask> continued stealing.He was eventually arrested after he was caught stealing wires from a nearby paddy field, which he planned to sell to buy clothing for the newborn. After his release, he moved the family to Fukuoka and started working as a taxi driver, but would be arrested twice more: once for auto theft and another for participating in a shoplifting gang. In total, he had spent 17 years in prison prior to beginning his murder spree. Murders
According to <mask>, the incentive for the murders arose after his wife lent 7 million yen to his 42-year-old associate from the shoplifting group, which worsened even further. As a result, he turned towards life insurance policies to gather money quickly. On March 25, 1978, <mask> and his 50-year-old wife went to the latter's house in Shime, where she was living with a 28-year-old female relative. The pair, they plied her with what's described as either alcohol or a sleeping pill depending on the source, then dragged the woman to the bathtub, where they held her head underwater until she drowned.The autopsy report errneously determined the cause of death as heart failure, and the Hamadas became the beneficiaries of her life insurance policies, all of which amounted to 1.5 million yen. Approximately three months later, on July 1, <mask>'s wife was tasked with watching over her 16-year-old son-in-law, a high school student, who was left with them as her brother was suffering from an illness. At her suggestion, Hamada made the teenager inhale paint thinner, and while he was unconscious, he took him to an agricultural waterway in Umi, about 4 kilometers away from the house, where he held him underwater until he drowned. The pair later claimed that the boy had died from an accidental fall owing to paint thinner poisoning, and were awarded 10 million yen from an insurance policy they had taken out on the victim. In 1979, <mask> was approached by his former shoplifting associate and his 44-year-old friend (hitherto referred to as "A" and "B", respectively), both of whom were rabid gamblers and struggling with debts. "A" informed Hamada that he planned to insure one of his workers and subsequently kill them, and asked him to aid in the murder, to which he agreed. On April 17, the trio chose a 37-year-old with no known relatives, whom they insured in a contract for 60 million yen provided by the Mitsui Life Insurance Company, paying 30,000 yen as an insurance premium.As the man was known as a heavy drinker, the criminals devised a plot to stage a hit-and-run while he was out wandering the streets. On the night of May 8, all of them gathered at "A"s house and let the worker drink plenty of alcohol. When he became drunk and fell unconscious, <mask> put into a small dumping truck owned by "B" and drove to the road behind Kyushu University in Higashi-ku. Then, around 3 AM on the next morning, after confirming that there was no traffic, he got the worker out of the car and laid him on the street, where he ran him over with the dump truck. Before they could get the insurance policy, the insurance company, feeling that the fee was too high, returned the premium to "A" and temporarily canceled the contract. <mask> and his associates were unable to obtain money for this murder, aside from a small amount of yen obtained from "B", who had sold the dump truck immediately after the incident. Investigation
Initially, the Fukuoka Prefectural Police truly believed that the man's death was accidental, but after examining the circumstances closely, including the fact that the victim's friends had taken out a large insurance policy; had been at his house and that one of them, "B", had told an acquaintance about a murder, all three were arrested on September 27, 1979.All three defendants were initially charged with various degrees of fraud, embezzlement and counterfeiting. On October 4, after more than a week of interrogation, all three confessed to killing the man and that they had planned to divide the insurance money. They were charged with murder, and authorities began to pay special attention to <mask> after learning that his wife's relative and son-in-law had died in similarly suspicious circumstances. On November 21, <mask>'s wife was arrested on suspicion of forgery, but during the interrogation, she admitted to killing her relative and her son-in-law in conjunction with her husband. Before she could be charged, however, she had to be hospitalized for treatment of cirrhosis and esophageal varices, but when police came looking for her, they were informed that she had escaped in the early hours of October 25. The wife travelled to Sasebo and remained hidden in the local area, but on the night of November 20, she was tracked down to a friend's house in Sue, where she was promptly arrested by investigators on the next morning. Trial
In March 1980, amidst trial proceedings, <mask>'s wife died from her illnesses, aged 51.As a result, prosecution dismissed all charges against her. On March 29, 1982, the three defendants were found guilty by Justice Shigeomi Akiyoshi, whom addressed <mask> as a "greedy, systematically calm killer of relatives who claims no responsibility for the crimes and shows no regrets". Not long, as per the prosecutors' request, <mask> was sentenced to death, while "A" and "B" were both sentenced to 15 years imprisonment as accomplices (the latter's sentence would later be reduced by two years). On June 19, 1984, <mask> and "B" attempted to appeal their sentences before Justice Shigeru Yamamoto, who promptly dismissed them and upheld the initial verdicts. On March 8, 1988, <mask> appealed again, this time before Justice Masami Ito, with his attorneys claiming that the 1978 deaths were incidental and that his confessions were unreliable. In response, Ito dismissed the claim, saying that the convict's confessions were reinforced by those of his late wife and additional evidence reinforcing his guilt. By doing this, he effectively finalized the death sentence.During the process, 20 anti-death penalty activists who were attending the proceedings shouted out "Don't enforce the death penalty", resulting in the dismissal of one of them. Imprisonment and death
In the following years on death row, <mask> would unsuccessfully petition for a retrial twice, but was rejected both times. Around midnight on June 26, 2017, a prison guard patrolling the death row noticed that the sleeping <mask> had begun vomiting. When medical personnel was brought in, they found that he was not breathing, and quickly transported him to a nearby hospital in Fukuoka. There he was kept on artificial ventilation and was given CPR by the hospital staff, but died two hours after his arrival, aged 90. His cause of death was listed as asphyxiation. At the time of his death, he was the oldest convict housed on Japan's death row.See also

<mask>  (1 February 1927 – 19 May 2021) was an Australian country music and folk entertainer, singer, songwriter, and musician, who also recorded pop, skiffle, jazz, and disco as his alter ego, the Baron. He was married to fellow performer Gay Kayler, with whom he recorded on numerous occasions. Career

1927–1953: Early personal and show business background
As a child growing up during the Great Depression in Australia, <mask> lived in a bag shack with a dirt floor. An interest in indigenous cultures, in particular Australian Aboriginal culture, was possibly influenced by these humble beginnings. During World War II, <mask> began his career by playing a guitar and singing mainly bush ballads. <mask>'s first recording took place in 1946, was "When I Waltzed My Matilda Away". It was distributed solely for radio airplay.In the mid-1940s he traveled with vaudeville shows. While working in the Great Levante Show, he learned about show business traditions and the psychology of live performing from the Great Levante (Les Cole) and one of Australia's greatest vaudevillian comics, Bobby Lebrun. 1954–1972: Early recordings
In 1954, <mask> laid down his first commercial recordings. This was followed by his debut album Songs of the Western Trail in 1956. <mask> was the first Australian country artist to appear on Australian TV. In 1956, as the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (then Commission) began transmitting from its tiny Arcon Studio at Gore Hill, Sydney, <mask> wrote and sang the show's title theme, Crazy Cross. He also performed in the show, which was set in Sydney's Kings Cross, New South Wales, with actor Gordon Chater serving as its anchorman.In 1957, <mask> recorded Gordon Parsons's, "A Pub with No Beer". This 45rpm was also released in the US and during a beer strike in Canada. It was not only available on vinyl but anecdotally sold 110,000 copies in Australia, on plastic-coated cardboard records. They're a Weird Mob, recorded in late 1958, also included the doyens of Australian jazz: Graeme Bell, Don Burrows, John Sangster, George Thompson, Ron Falson together with Noel Smith from the Royal Ballet Orchestra. This skiffle song became <mask>'s first hit single. Although the term had not yet been coined, <mask>'s 1960 song, "Little Boy Lost", was Australia's first country-rock song. Again, it was arranged and recorded by jazzmen, including guitarist George Golla.This song, written by <mask> from DJ Tony Withers's idea, tells the story of Steven Walls who became lost from his parents' property at Tubbamurra near Guyra, NSW. Five thousand people, seven aircraft, together with Aboriginal tracker William Stanley, searched the rugged bush country, which was rife with dingos and deadly snakes. He was found alive and well four days later. The search for the Little Boy Lost continues to be Australia's biggest. At the height of "Little Boy Lost's" success, <mask> withdrew his recording from airplay out of consideration for the family of 8-year old Graeme Thorne, the victim of Australia's first kidnapping. His album Mostly Folk, recorded in the mid-1960s, was re-released under the title, Little Boy Lost and went Gold. <mask> was the first country artist in Australia to have gold records presented on stage, when three were bestowed simultaneously before a live audience in Tamworth, NSW, in 1971.During the ceremony, <mask> suggested that Tamworth might consider annual country music record-award presentations in that city. Consequently, two years later, in 1973, Tamworth began promoting itself as Australia's Country Music Capital. With Golden Guitars designed by John Minson, Tamworth had started its journey to eventually become recognised as one of the world's top ten music festivals (2002). 1973–1990: Continued success
In 1973, <mask> and Gay Kayler (Kahler) commenced working together, performing at the Sydney Opera House when, four months after its opening, <mask> and Kayler topped the bill in a country music show presented by the Australian Festival Of Performing Arts. Eight weeks later they again starred in the Australian Variety Show in the main Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House. Both shows were markedly different. They appeared eight times in this venue.In 1973 was the year <mask> and Gay Kayler recorded their Faces Of Love album. Each featured in solo performances and duets. That same year, <mask> recorded his fourth hit–an American pop song, Clint Holmes's "Playground In My Mind", which was a hit on the country charts. <mask>'s 1975 song "Holy Joe the Salvo", became the Salvation Army's 1975 Red Shield Appeal Song. <mask> also wrote Australia's first female trucking song, "My Home-Coming Trucker's Coming Home", recorded by Gay Kayler. It became a country hit, which was also programmed into general airplay. His 1978 And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda, included a faithful cover-reproduction of Fredrick McCubbin's 1889 painting, Down On His Luck.In another departure from modern country music, <mask> appeared on the album, A Time for Change, as his disco-singing alter ego, the Baron. The album also featured Gay Kayler, <mask>’s partner (and wife), as Lady Finflingkington, the Baron’s jazz-scatting eccentric consort. From this LP, the Baron released "Sixteen Tons of Hit the Road Jack" a 12-inch, disco single. In 1989, the milestone historical album, The Cross of the Five Silver Stars, featured <mask>, Gay Kayler, Bettybo and their musical director, Rob (Shep) Davis. Death
<mask> died on 19 May 2021, aged 94. Discography

<mask> (25 September 1926 – 23 August 2002) was a British theorist, consultant and professor at the Manchester Business School. He is best known for his work in the fields of operational research and management cybernetics. Biography

Early life
<mask> was born in Putney, London in 1926. At age 17 he was expelled from Whitgift School and enrolled for a degree in philosophy at University College London. But in 1944 he left to join the army, first as Gunner in the Royal Artillery, but he soon received a commission first in the Royal Fusiliers, and then as a company commander in the 9th Gurkha Rifles. He saw service in India and stayed there until 1947. Upon returning to England he was assigned to the Human factors Branch of Operations research at the War Office.In 1949, he was demobilised, having reached the rank of captain. He dropped the use of his first name "Anthony" when he was about twenty-one and persuaded his brother, <mask>, to sign a statement that he would not use the name <mask> which he also was given. United Steel
In 1956 he joined United Steel and persuaded the management to fund an operational research group, the Department of Operations Research and Cybernetics, which he headed. This was based in Cybor House, and they installed a Ferranti Pegasus computer, the first in the world dedicated to management cybernetics. SIGMA
In 1961 he left United Steel to start an operational research consultancy in partnership with Roger Eddison called SIGMA (Science in General Management). <mask> left SIGMA in 1966 to work for a SIGMA client, the International Publishing Corporation (IPC). He left IPC in 1970 to work as an independent consultant, focusing on his growing interest in social systems.Cybersyn
In mid-1971, <mask> was approached by Fernando Flores, then a high-ranking member of the Chilean Production Development Corporation (CORFO) in the newly elected socialist government of Salvador Allende, for advice on applying his cybernetic theories to the management of the state-run sector of the Chilean economy. This led to <mask>'s involvement in the never-completed Cybersyn project, which aimed to use computers and a telex-based communication network to allow the government to maximise production while preserving the autonomy of workers and lower management. Although Cybersyn was abandoned after Allende's death during the Pinochet coup in 1973, <mask> continued to work in the Americas, consulting for the governments of Mexico, Uruguay and Venezuela. Later activity

In the mid-1970s, <mask> moved to mid-Wales where he lived in an almost austere style, developing strong interests in poetry and art. In the 1980s he established a second home on the west side of downtown Toronto and lived part of the year in both residences. He was a visiting professor at almost 30 universities and received an earned higher doctorate (DSc) from the University of Sunderland and honorary doctorates from the University of Leeds, the University of St. Gallen, and the University of Valladolid. He was president of the World Organization of Systems and Cybernetics.Falcondale Collection

In July 1994 <mask> ran a residential course at the Falcondale Hotel in Lampeter. Nine sessions were recorded as a video learning resource, and are collectively known as the Falcondale collection. They are available online at the Data Repository of Liverpool John Moores University. The sessions covered art, science and philosophy as well as the practical application of cybernetics in society, government, community, management and business. Transcripts were made of the discussions and are also available from the same repository. Family life
He was married twice, in 1947 to Cynthia Hannaway, and in 1968 to Sallie Steadman. His partner for the last twenty years of his life was Allenna Leonard, a fellow cybernetician.<mask> had five sons and three daughters, one of whom is Vanilla <mask>, an artist and essayist. She exhibited with Roger Kohn. Work

Management cybernetics
According to Jackson (2000) "<mask> was the first to apply cybernetics to management, defining cybernetics as the science of effective organization". In the 1960s and early 1970s "<mask> was a prolific writer and an influential practitioner" in management cybernetics. It was during that period that he developed the viable system model, to diagnose the faults in any existing organizational system. In that time Forrester invented systems dynamics, which "held out the promise that the behavior of whole systems could be represented and understood through modeling the dynamical feedback process going on within them". Cybersyn

During the administration of Salvador Allende in Chile, in the early 1970s, <mask> was closely involved with a visionary project, Cybersyn, to apply his cybernetic theories in government.The project's ultimate goal was to create a network of computers and communications equipment that would support the management of the state-run sector of Chile's economy; at its core would be an operations room where government managers could view important information about economic processes in real time, formulate plans of action, and transmit advice and directives to managers at plants and enterprises in the field. However, consistent with cybernetic principles and the ideals of the Allende government, its designers aimed to preserve worker and lower-management autonomy instead of implementing a top-down system of centralised control. The system used a network of about 500 telex machines located at enterprises throughout the country and in government offices in Santiago, some of which were connected to a government-operated mainframe computer that would receive information on production operations, feed that information into economic modelling software, and report on variables (such as raw material supplies) that were outside normal parameters and might require attention. The project, implemented by a multidisciplinary group of both Chileans and foreigners, reached an advanced prototype stage, but was interrupted by the 1973 coup d'état. Viable System Model

The Viable System Model (VSM) is a model of the organisational structure of any viable or autonomous system. A viable system is any system organised in such a way as to meet the demands of surviving in the changing environment. One of the prime features of systems that survive is that they are adaptable.The VSM expresses a model for a viable system, which is an abstracted cybernetic description that is applicable to any organisation that is a viable system and capable of autonomy. Syntegration and Team Syntegrity
Syntegrity is a formal model presented by <mask> in the 1990s and now is a registered trademark. It is a form of non-hierarchical problem solving that can be used in a small team of 10 to 42 people. It is a business consultation product that is licensed out to consulting firms. The term comes from the words "synergistic" and "tensegrity". POSIWID

<mask> coined and frequently used the term POSIWID (the purpose of a system is what it does) to refer to the commonly observed phenomenon that the de facto purpose of a system is often at odds with its official purpose. In an address to the University of Valladolid, Spain in October 2001, he said "According to the cybernetician the purpose of a system is what it does.This is a basic dictum. It stands for bald fact, which makes a better starting point in seeking understanding than the familiar attributions of good intention, prejudices about expectations, moral judgment or sheer ignorance of circumstances." Awards
<mask> received awards from the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences in 1958, from the United Kingdom Systems Society, the Cybernetics Society, the American Society for Cybernetics, and the Operations Research Society of America. Literature

<mask> (born Anthony M<mask> on March 9, 1966) is a comic book writer and screenwriter from New Jersey. Career
<mask> began his comics career in 1996 with the publication of his first comic book, "Jersey Devil #1", based on the Jersey Devil legend and several articles written in the South Jersey Courier-Post. It was published under his own imprint, South Jersey Rebellion Productions. Pencilled largely by Steven Cornicelli and inked by Bob Clark, "Jersey Devil #1" enjoyed modest sales. Replacing the art team, DiGerolamo recruited Dom LaGrutta, Jr. for the pencils and Donn Smith for the inks, giving "Jersey Devil #2" a cleaner look. Although the improvements continued to bring DiGerolamo and the SJRP strong local sales, comic fans largely ignored the comic. DiGerolamo's insistence on longer issues and multi-issue stories put a strain on his art team and forced him to recruit additional artists.Around 1999, DiGerolamo launched what would become a more successful comic book, The Travelers, which was eventually picked up by Kenzer & Company at issue #4. With the changes of art teams, Jersey Devil was dropped by Diamond Distributors after issue #7 due to low sales. DiGerolamo struggled to keep the comic alive publishing issues 8 to 12 in mini-comic formats. Now relieved of the financial burden of publication, DiGerolamo concentrated more on making The Travelers a success. The bimonthly schedule put a strain on artist Brian Dawson and the variety of inkers on the book, who included the Fraim Brothers. DiGerolamo also launched a four-issue mini-series called The Fix to coincide with a novel with the same character. By issue 9, Dawson could no longer commit to The Travelers hectic schedule, so inker James Dunn took over the art chores for issues 10 and 11.Eventually, DiGerolamo found a new artist with Chris Moreno on the "Travelers #12". Sales peaked with The Travelers issue #14, which was a crossover with Knights of the Dinner Table Illustrated. Shortly thereafter, he took over the writing chores for another Kenzer comic called Everknights. DiGerolamo moved The Travelers to Wingnut Games with issue #21. By issue 22, Moreno could no longer keep doing the Travelers with his other comic work. DiGerolamo struggled with a series of other artists, with Moreno occasionally coming back to help with the art. The comic limped to the 25th issue before Wingnut had to cancel it.By this time, DiGerolamo had landed side work with Bongo Comics writing for the Bart Simpson comics. His first story was a Lisa story entitled "A Chair of One's Own" in November 2002. While he continued to write for Bongo, he met the publishers at Silent Devil. Looking for another project that both he and Moreno could work on, the duo launched the Super Frat webcomic under Silent Devil's banner. In 2006, Silent Devil published its first compilation of Super Frat called "Super Frat: Rush Week Collection". DiGerolamo continues to write screenplays and comic books in New Jersey. He is also the creator of "Complete Mafia" for d20 from Living Room Games and worked on an online zombie TV show called Zombie Country.DiGerolamo currently works with Christian Beranek on a webcomic hub called The Webcomic Factory.

<mask> (; 8 February 1888 – 2 June 1970) was an Italian modernist poet, journalist, essayist, critic, academic, and recipient of the inaugural 1970 Neustadt International Prize for Literature. A leading representative of the experimental trend known as Ermetismo ("Hermeticism"), he was one of the most prominent contributors to 20th century Italian literature. Influenced by symbolism, he was briefly aligned with futurism. Like many futurists, he took an irredentist position during World War I. <mask> debuted as a poet while fighting in the trenches, publishing one of his best-known pieces, L'allegria ("The Joy"). During the interwar period, <mask> worked as a journalist with Benito Mussolini (whom he met during his socialist accession), as well as a foreign-based correspondent for Il Popolo d'Italia and Gazzetta del Popolo. While briefly associated with the Dadaists, he developed Hermeticism as a personal take on poetry. After spending several years in Brazil, he returned home during World War II, and was assigned a teaching post at the University of Rome, where he spent the final decades of his life and career.Biography

Early life
<mask> was born in Alexandria, Egypt into a family from the Tuscan city of Lucca. <mask>'s father worked on digging the Suez Canal, where he suffered a fatal accident in 1890. His widowed mother, who ran a bakery on the edge of the Sahara, educated her child on the basis of Roman Catholic tenets. <mask>'s formal education began in French, at Alexandria's Swiss School. It was there that he became acquainted with Parnassianism and Symbolist poetry, in particular with Gabriele d'Annunzio, Charles Baudelaire, Jules Laforgue, Stéphane Mallarmé and Arthur Rimbaud. He also became familiar with works of the Classicists Giacomo Leopardi and Giosuè Carducci, as well as with the writings of maverick author Giovanni Pascoli. This period marked his debut as a journalist and literary critic, with pieces published Risorgete, a journal edited by anarchist writer Enrico Pea.At the time, he was in correspondence with <mask>, editor of the influential magazine La Voce. A regular visitor of Pea's Baracca Rossa ("Red House"), <mask> was himself a sympathizer of anarchist-socialist circles. He abandoned Christianity and became an atheist. It was not until 1928 that he returned to the Catholic faith. In 1912, the 24-year-old <mask> moved to Paris, France. On his way there, he stopped in Rome, Florence and Milan, meeting face to face with Prezzolini. <mask> attended lectures at the Collège de France and the University of Paris, and had among his teachers philosopher Henri Bergson, whom he reportedly admired.The young writer also met and befriended French literary figure Guillaume Apollinaire, a promoter of Cubism and a forerunner of Surrealism. Apollinaire's work came to be a noted influence on his own. He was also in contact with the Italian expatriates, including leading representatives of Futurism such as Carlo Carrà, Umberto Boccioni, Aldo Palazzeschi, Giovanni Papini and Ardengo Soffici, as well as with the independent visual artist Amedeo Modigliani. World War I and debut
Upon the outbreak of World War I in 1914, <mask>, like his Futurist friends, supported an irredentist position, and called for his country's intervention on the side of the Entente Powers. Enrolled in the infantry a year later, he saw action on the Northern Italian theater, serving in the trenches. In contrast to his early enthusiasm, he became appalled by the realities of war. The conflict also made <mask> discover his talent as a poet, and, in 1917, he published the volume of free verse Il porto sepolto ("The Buried Port"), largely written on the Kras front.Although depicting the hardships of war life, his celebrated L'Allegria was not unenthusiastic about its purpose (even if in the poem "Fratelli", and in others, he describes the absurdity of the war and the brotherhood between all the men); this made <mask>'s stance contrast with that of Lost Generation writers, who questioned their countries' intents, and similar to that of Italian intellectuals such as Soffici, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Piero Jahier and Curzio Malaparte. By the time the 1918 armistice was signed, <mask> was again in Paris, working as a correspondent for Benito Mussolini's paper Il Popolo d'Italia. He published a volume of French-language poetry, titled La guerre ("The War", 1919). In 1920, <mask> married the Frenchwoman Jeanne Dupoix, with whom he had a daughter, Ninon (born 1925), and a son, Antonietto (born 1930). During that period in Paris, <mask> came to affiliate with the anti-establishment and anti-art current known as Dadaism. He was present in the Paris-based Dadaist circle led by Romanian poet Tristan Tzara, being, alongside Alberto Savinio, Julius Evola, Gino Cantarelli, Aldo Fiozzi and Enrico Prampolini, one of the figures who established a transition from Italian Futurism to Dada. In May 1921, he was present at the Dadaist mock trial of reactionary author Maurice Barrès, during which the Dadaist movement began to separate itself into two competing parts, headed respectively by Tzara and André Breton.He was also affiliated with the literary circle formed around the journal La Ronda. Hermeticism and fascism
The year after his marriage, <mask> returned to Italy, settling in Rome as a Foreign Ministry employee. By then, Mussolini had organized the March on Rome, which confirmed his seizure of power. <mask> joined in the National Fascist Party, signing the pro-fascist Manifesto of the Italian Writers in 1925. In his essays of 1926–1929, republished in 1996, he repeatedly called on the Duce to direct cultural development in Italy and reorganize the Italian Academy on fascist lines. He argued: "The first task of the Academy will be to reestablish a certain connection between men of letters, between writers, teachers, publicists. This people hungers for poetry.If it had not been for the miracle of Blackshirts, we would never have leaped this far." In his private letters to a French critic, <mask> also claimed that fascist rule did not imply censorship. Mussolini, who did not give a favorable answer to <mask>'s appeal, prefaced the 1923 edition of Il porto sepolto, thus politicizing its message. In 1925, <mask> experienced a religious crisis, which, three years later, made him return to the Roman Catholic Church. Meanwhile, he contributed to a number of journals and published a series of poetry volumes, before becoming a foreign correspondent for Gazzetta del Popolo in 1931, and traveling not only to Egypt, Corsica and the Netherlands, but also to various regions of Italy. It was during this period that <mask> introduced Ermetismo, baptized with the Italian-language word for "Hermeticism". The new trend, inspired by both Symbolism and Futurism, had its origins in both Il porto sepolto, where Ungaretti had eliminated structure, syntax and punctuation, and the earlier contributions of Arturo Onofri.The style was indebted to the influence of Symbolists from Edgar Allan Poe to Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Mallarmé and Paul Valéry. Alongside <mask>, its main representatives were Eugenio Montale and Salvatore Quasimodo. Despite the critical acclaim he enjoyed, the poet confronted himself with financial difficulties. In 1936, he moved to the Brazilian city of São Paulo, and became a Professor of Italian at São Paulo University. It was there that, in 1939, his son Antonietto died as a result of a badly performed appendectomy. World War II and after
In 1942, three years after the start of World War II, <mask> returned to Axis-allied Italy, where he was received with honors by the officials. The same year, he was made a Professor of Modern Literature at the University of Rome.He continued to write poetry, and published a series of essays. By then, Hermeticism had come to an end, and <mask>, like Montale and Quasimodo, had adopted a more formal style in his poetry. At Rome, <mask> mentored the poet Elio Filippo Accrocca, whose work was greatly influenced by <mask>'s. At the close of the war, following Mussolini's downfall, <mask> was expelled from the faculty owing to his fascist connections, but reinstated when his colleagues voted in favor of his return. Affected by his wife's 1958 death, <mask> sought comfort in traveling throughout Italy and abroad. He visited Japan, the Soviet Union, Israel and the United States. In 1964, he gave a series of lectures at Columbia University in New York City, and, in 1970, was invited by the University of Oklahoma to receive its Books Abroad Prize.During this last trip, <mask> fell ill with bronchopneumonia, and, although he received treatment in New York City, died while under medical supervision in Milan. He was buried in Campo Verano (Rome). Poetry
L'Allegria, previously called L'Allegria di Naufragi, is a decisive moment of the recent history of Italian literature: <mask> revises with novel ideas the poetic style of the poètes maudits (especially the broken verses without punctation marks of Guillaume Apollinaire's Calligrammes and the equality between verse and a single word), connecting it with his experience of death and pain as a soldier at war. The hope of brotherhood between all the people is expressed strongly, together with the desire of searching for a renovated "harmony" with the universe, impressive in the famous verses of Mattina:

A famous poem regarding the First World War is Soldati (soldiers), which emblematically and emotionally describes their feelings of uncertainty and fear:

In the successive works he studied the importance of the poetic word (marked by Hermeticism and symbolism), as the only way to save the humanity from the universal horror, and was searching for a new way to recuperate the roots of the Italian classical poetry. His last verses are on the poem l'Impietrito e il Velluto, about the memory of the bright universe eyed Dunja, an old woman that was house guest of his mother in the time of his childhood. Here is the end:

Legacy
Although <mask> parted company with Ermetismo ("Hermeticism"), his early experiments were continued for a while by poets such as Alfonso Gatto, Mario Luzi and Leonardo Sinisgalli. His collected works were published as Vita di un uomo ("The Life of a Man") at the time of his death.Two of <mask>'s poems ("Soldiers – War – Another War" and "Vanity") were made into song by American composer Harry Partch (Eleven Intrusions, 1949–50); and eleven poems were set by the French-Romanian composer Horațiu Rădulescu in his cycle End of Kronos (1999). Fragments of his poetry are set by composer Michael Mantler in Cerco un Paese Innocente, a work recorded in 1994. Austrian-Hungarian composer Iván Eröd used his poems in four of his works: "Tutto ho perduto" Op. 12 (1965), "Canti di Ungaretti" Op. 55 (1988), "Vox lucis" Op. 56 (1988–89) and in his last work "Canti di un Ottantenne" Op. 95 (2019), completed only several days before his death in June 2019.Published volumes
